After successfully crossing the Woppy River, the Germans, without rest, plunged directly into the depth of the Soviet troops. www.biquge.info Due to the inconsistent marching speed of the troops, after walking for nearly an hour, the marching procession of thousands of troops was actually one or two kilometers long. After the German lieutenant colonel sent the top soldiers to explore the road, he and several of his subordinates found a shady place to sit down and rest on the side of the road, in addition to waiting for the reconnaissance report of the top soldiers, but also for those subordinates who were far behind.

On the forward position of the Soviet army, a sniper found the German lieutenant colonel sitting on the side of the road, he quietly turned the muzzle of the gun, locked the target, and only waited for the explosion to sound, he would shoot the lieutenant colonel without hesitation, leaving the German army in a state of leaderless chaos.

At this time, the five sharp soldiers sent by the German army had entered the minefield in front of the position, but they were lucky enough to walk forward for more than ten or twenty meters, but they had not yet stepped on the mine. The commander of the Soviet company on the position saw that the enemy had passed through the minefield a few steps further, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hurriedly ordered the machine gunners around him: "The machine gun is ready, as soon as the enemy walks out of the minefield, immediately open fire." ”

At this moment, a loud "boom" suddenly came from the minefield, and it turned out to be a soldier walking in the middle who accidentally stepped on a mine. The blast of the explosion tossed over the four soldiers around them, and one of the unlucky soldiers fell from the sky and landed on another mine, causing a new explosion.

Since the explosion point was only less than 20 meters away from the trench, the dirt that was lifted into the air by the air wave crackled and smashed on the heads of the company commander and several soldiers, making the steel helmets clang.

The company commander shook his head, shook off the dirt on the steel helmet, looked up at the minefield that was still smoking, and saw that the four German soldiers were lying motionless on the ground, and the soldier who stepped on the mine first had his legs blown up from below his knees, and the whole person became a bloody man, his hands were tightly pulled into the dirt, and he screamed heartbreakingly, as if he wanted to struggle. Seeing this tragic scene of the German soldiers, the company commander was a little unbearable, turned his head and said to the machine gunner next to him: "Give him a simple one!" ”

The machine gunner nodded, then pulled the trigger and fired a long point of fire, which abruptly stopped the screams of the wounded Germans.

At the same time that the German soldiers stepped on the mines, the Soviet snipers, who had long been aiming at the German lieutenant colonel, lost no time in pulling the trigger. But when the bullet flew towards the target, a German officer sitting opposite the lieutenant colonel heard the explosion and was standing up to take a look, but was chilled by the bullet that flew in.

"Not good, there are snipers." After shouting, several other officers rushed over, picked up the lieutenant colonel and stumbled to the back. The sniper fired two more shots, but neither of them hit the target, and the most recent bullet, also because the lieutenant colonel tripped over a stone on the ground, grazed his shoulder and flew over, and finally the German lieutenant colonel finally hid in the sniper's shooting corner.

The German lieutenant colonel hid behind a large rock on the side of the road and said to the officers surrounding him: "It seems that there is a Russian defensive position in front, you immediately organize the troops to attack, and you must take the position for me in the shortest possible time." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." One of the captains stood up and assured him, "I'll take my company up, and I'm going to kill all these damned Russians." ”

The lieutenant colonel looked at the volunteer subordinate, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Well done, captain." As long as your troops can take this position today, I will definitely report to the division headquarters and award you the Iron Cross. ”

Hearing that a medal could be awarded for an ordinary offensive battle, the German captain was so excited that his face flushed. He came to the road from his hiding place, raised his pistol, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the first company, don't lie on the ground, give it to me, and use your bullets to kill all the Russians in front who only know how to hide in the shadows and sneak attack." Come on! ”

With the captain's shout, more than a hundred soldiers who had been lying on the ground got up from the ground one after another, took the weapons in their hands, and rushed forward behind the captain. As soon as the captain rushed to the edge of the minefield, he was hit in the heart by a high-speed spinning bullet, and his captain's collar badge and officer's uniform made the sniper list list of priority snipers, and the huge impact caused him to fly out on his back, knocking down a soldier who was closely behind.

Seeing that the German soldiers were less than fifty meters away from their positions, the Soviet company commander leaned out of the trench and shouted at the left and right: "Fire!" With that, he raised his pistol and fired a shot at a soldier who had just rushed into a minefield.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the light and heavy weapons on the position suddenly opened fire together, and the German soldiers who were charging towards the hillside were shot one after another, and their bodies twitched and fell down as if they had been electrocuted.

Seeing that the offensive of his troops was thwarted, the German lieutenant colonel was not in a hurry at all. He listened sideways for a moment, and then instructed a lieutenant next to him: "Lieutenant, judging by the gunfire of the Russians, they lack heavy weapons, you immediately rush back to the river to see if our heavy equipment has crossed the river." ”

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel," said a major next to him, the commander of the vanguard battalion, "the Russians may have heavy weapons, but they cannot be used because of the terrain, so they are not used for the time being. ”

"Listen carefully, Major." The lieutenant colonel was very unimpressed by this statement of his subordinates, and he pointed with his hand to the Soviet positions that were desperately pouring bullets down the hillside, "Although there are quite a few machine guns firing at the positions of the Russians, they are all light machine guns. For these machine guns, even if it is only because of the short time it takes to change the magazine, even if it is mixed with the explosion of a large number of rifles and grenades, as long as an experienced veteran can roughly judge the number of opponent's machine guns and the time between shots by his own ears. ”

After saying this, the German lieutenant colonel continued to instruct the lieutenant: "Our communications equipment is all along the river, and if the heavy equipment does not cross the river, notify the artillery on the west bank of the river, shell this place, and use artillery fire to kill all these damned Germans." ”

"Understood, Lieutenant Colonel." The German lieutenant, who was squatting on the ground, raised his hand and saluted, then bent down and trotted all the way to the road he came.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, what shall we do now?" The German battalion commander saw that his troops were suppressed on the hillside by Soviet fire, unable to advance and difficult to retreat, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "If we continue to fight like this, my men will soon die." ”

"Wait a little longer," the German lieutenant colonel leaned out to take a look, and immediately hid himself back behind the big rock, "Major, if you don't want your company to be wiped out by the Russians, there are two ways. One is to wait for our artillery or tanks to suppress the Russians with artillery fire, and then let your men withdraw; The second is to organize more troops and launch an attack on the hillside, hoping to break through the Russian defenses with our ferocious offensive. ”

The German battalion commander squatted on the ground and weighed it for a while, and finally said resolutely: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, judging from the gunfire coming from the position, the number of Russians is not much, probably only about a company. I'll send another company to attack, so that we will have four times as many troops as the Russians, and I don't believe they will be able to hold us back. ”

"Now that you've thought about it, what are you doing in a daze?" The German lieutenant colonel, seeing that the battalion commander had been squatting beside him and not moving, pushed him and urged: "Hurry up and order your men to rush up." ”

"Yes." The German battalion commander agreed, ran to the side and grabbed the commander of the second company lying on the ground, and ordered him with a strong attitude: "Captain, immediately rush forward with your men." Either rush up and occupy the positions of the Russians, or save the first company. ”

"Soldiers of the second company, follow me!" After the commander of the second company finished shouting, he rushed towards the hillside with nearly 200 soldiers under his command.

The soldiers, who were on the battlefield, saw that German reinforcements were coming, and hurriedly reported to the company commander: "Company commander, look, there are German reinforcements coming from a distance. ”

Seeing the more than 200 people who rushed up, the Soviet company commander couldn't help but have a headache, the number of people in one German company was equivalent to his own two companies, and it was a little difficult for him to resist the attack of a company, but he didn't expect the Germans to come another company, so that the ratio of enemy and enemy strength became four to one. He crouched down, leaned back against the trench, called the signal corpsman over, and ordered: "Report to the battalion commander that the enemy has increased troops, and ask the battalion commander to send troops to reinforce us." ”

The officers and men of the 1st Company, which were suppressed by the Soviet firepower on the hillside, after all, had rich combat experience, which could not be compared with the recruits of the Soviet army who had just picked up arms and had not been able to do so for a few months. After the initial panic, they had already judged the situation in a very short time, and they used their experience to hear the trajectory, and the moment they pinched the extension of the bullet, they raised their hands slightly to the side and shot them by feeling, and immediately retracted and lay down regardless of whether they hit or not.

The condescending Soviet soldiers shot downward, showing their bodies no matter what the terrain restricted, and even then, there would still be blind spots that could not be taken into account, and the corpses everywhere and the ubiquitous enemy troops also made the Soviet soldiers a little dazzled. As time passed, the German soldiers, who were no longer in a panic, were getting more and more accurate, and the machine-gun fire on the hillside began to be intermittent, and the Soviet commanders and fighters were already suffering casualties.

Seeing that the second company came to reinforce again, these soldiers were immediately demoralized, they no longer lay on the ground and fired at the Soviet troops, but got up with the help of the cover of the terrain, and the Soviet machine guns paused for a short time, the cat lowered its body and used the terrain to quickly pass through the minefield and approach the Soviet trenches.

Seeing that the German troops rushing up were only about 20 meters away from the trenches, and the German soldiers who were not afraid of death had waded out of a passage in the minefield, the Soviet company commander couldn't help but feel anxious. He turned his head and asked the communications soldier who was shouting behind him with a walkie-talkie, "Can't get in touch with the battalion headquarters?" ”

"No, company commander." The communications soldier replied with tears in his voice: "I haven't been in contact with the battalion headquarters yet." ”

"It's too late." As he spoke, the company commander bent down and picked up a rifle with a bayonet in the arms of the sacrificed soldier, then straightened up and said loudly to the left and right: "Comrades, we must not let the enemy rush up, let us press them down with bayonets." After speaking, he took the lead in jumping out of the trench, holding a gun in both hands, and shouted at the top of his throat, "Party members, League members, follow me!" ”

Seeing that his company commander had rushed towards the enemy with his gun, the commanders and fighters in the trench were not to be outdone, jumped out of the trench one after another, held their bayonet rifles, and rushed towards the enemy. And the machine gun shooter hurriedly changed the shooting against the enemy to a short burst, so as not to accidentally hurt his own people.
