Chapter 339: Danger Lurks (Part II)
If Lobachev had not said these words, Rokossovsky would have agreed to the second lieutenant's proposal. But since Lobachev has already said this www.biquge.info in order to maintain his image, he must not directly abandon his troops and run away, so he can only say righteously: "No, Comrade Second Lieutenant, how can I leave my fighters behind and run for my life alone?" ”
"But, Comrade Commander." When the second lieutenant saw that both Rokossovsky and Lobachev said this, he couldn't help but be even more anxious: "The enemy is more numerous than us, and the equipment is better than ours, if you don't leave, it will be too late." ”
As if to annotate the second lieutenant's words, the tarpaulin above the bridge was suddenly lifted, and a soldier poked his head out and shouted at the second lieutenant hiding in front of the hood: "Second lieutenant, the Germans are under too much fire, and we only have four of us left." ”
"Comrade commander," the second lieutenant was so anxious that he almost cried when he heard the soldier's report, and he grabbed Rokossovsky's hand and pleaded bitterly: "Go quickly, we have few people, and we can't stop the Germans for long." If you don't leave, it's too late. ”
Seeing that the situation was dangerous, the driver of the jeep also stumbled over, squatted in front of Rokossovsky, and said loudly: "Commander, military commissar, hurry up and get in the car." Before the Germans could rush over, we still had hope of escaping. ”
"We escaped, what are they going to do?" Lobachev, hearing the driver's words, pointed his hand at the refugees who were running all over the mountains and valleys, and said unwillingly: "Shall we leave them like this?" ”
"Let's go, Comrade Military Commissar." Seeing that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined, Rokossovsky felt that he should leave this dangerous area as soon as possible, so he urged Lobachev: "We must rush back to the headquarters of the army group as soon as possible, and we must not let the troops lose their unified command." As for the refugees, I am sure that these Germans will not embarrass them for the time being. ”
Although Lobachev did not want to leave the soldiers and refugees to flee for his life at all, he also understood that Rokossovsky was right, and now that the army group had just adjusted its defense area, if there was no unified command, it would inevitably fall into chaos. After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Comrade Commander, let's go, this blood debt will have to be settled with the Germans sooner or later." ”
Rokossovsky and Lobachev bent over, followed the driver, ran to the jeep, and were about to pull the door to get into the car, when suddenly they heard a rapid car horn in front of them. The three of them looked in the direction from which the horn came, and saw a truck with a canopy speeding along the road.
"Comrade Commander, look." The driver pointed to the truck that was rushing towards him and said excitedly, "It's our own people." ”
In fact, even if the driver didn't say anything, Rokossovsky could clearly see that the car that came was the one he left on the road to bury the corpses of the fighters. With their arrival, the forces of friend and foe are roughly equal.
The truck came to a sharp brake five or six paces away from the jeep, and then the soldiers in the compartment jumped out of the rear of the car and, led by the second lieutenant, bent over and ran over.
"Quick, hurry up and help!" Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Rokossovsky's heart suddenly became much more steady. He pointed to the truck behind him and said to the second lieutenant who rushed over: "There are only a dozen Germans, and you cooperate with the soldiers in that car to destroy all the enemies." ”
The car that came were all veterans with rich combat experience, and they had already judged the situation in a very short time, and after they found a hidden position, they pulled the bolt to check the ammunition, and then raised their hands to shoot with a slight feeling, and immediately retracted and lay down regardless of whether they hit or not.
Seeing that the resistance of the Soviet army was almost stopped, thinking that the battle was about to end, the German army inevitably underestimated the enemy, and five or six soldiers ran out from behind the motorcycle where they were hiding, ready to arrest the senior officer of the Soviet army, but they were used as a target by the reinforcements who suddenly arrived, and after two rounds of gunfire, they all fell to the ground.
When Rokossovsky saw the German soldiers rushing out from behind the motorcycle, being knocked down by his own fighters, the remaining enemies became a little flustered. He silently counted it, there were still eight people left on the opposite side, and the number of people on his side had increased to 20, and he was fully capable of killing them all.
"Comrade Commander, get in the car." At this time, the driver urged in the car: "While the Germans are being dragged down, let's move quickly." ”
"No need, comrade driver." Rokossovsky, who was squatting next to the car, waved his hand from the driver in the car and said: "Don't you see that we have more people now than the Germans?" I hope it won't be long before I can wipe out all the enemies. ”
"Comrade commander," the driver heard the fierce gunfire behind him, and was deeply afraid that Rokossovsky was in danger, so he tried to persuade: "Listen to the gunshots, the Germans still have a machine gun, and we only have rifles and a few submachine guns here, and we cannot suppress the enemy in terms of firepower, and it is still difficult to destroy them, so it is better to move quickly." ”
Lobachev, who had already gotten into the car, got out of the car again, squatted down beside Rokossovsky, and asked carefully: "Comrade commander, do you say that our fighters can really destroy this group of enemies?" ”
"I think it should be fine." Rokossovsky said confidently: "Comrade Military Commissar, don't you see that the enemy on the opposite side has only eight people left, and we have 20 more?" Even if the firepower is not as strong as the enemy, the superiority in numbers is enough to defeat them. ”
The Germans on the opposite side saw that after the Soviet reinforcements arrived, their combat effectiveness was greatly improved, and they were afraid that they would not be able to take advantage of them if they continued to fight, so they suppressed the Soviet firepower with machine gunners, and the rest of them got on motorcycles one after another, ready to escape.
Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, Lobachev couldn't hold his breath, he patted his thigh and shouted: "Oops, it's not good, the Germans are going to run, find a way to keep them all." ”
Hearing Lobachev say this, Rokossovsky couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart that the German army was either a machine gun or a submachine gun, although the number was small, but their firepower output was far stronger than their own troops, and it was already a blessing in misfortune to beat them away, where would they dare to hope to annihilate them all.
He was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice. He hurriedly touched Lobachev beside him with the palm of his hand, and said in a low voice: "Hey, Comrade Military Commissar, did you hear any sound?" ”
"Voice, what sound?" Lobachev had a blank expression on his face, he listened sideways for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and replied: "I didn't hear anything except gunshots." ”
"The sound of horses' hooves is the sound of horses' hooves." Rokossovsky, who was a cavalryman, was all too familiar with this kind of voice, and he pointed in the direction where the Germans were about to flee and said loudly: "From that direction, there is at least a company of cavalry, and they are coming in our direction." ”
"Could it be the enemy's cavalry?" When Lobachev heard Rokossovsky say this, not only did he not show a happy expression on his face, but asked worriedly: "We can't destroy just a dozen German soldiers, and if there is another German cavalry, then we will really be more than lucky." ”
"Don't worry, my comrade military commissar." Rokossovsky said lightly: "From the outbreak of the war to the present, the German army that fought against us has never used cavalry, so I think it must be our cavalry." ”
As Rokossovsky spoke, the sound of horses' hooves, which had been covered by gunfire, became clearly audible. Not only the Soviets but also the Germans heard the sudden sound of horses' hooves, and both sides invariably stopped firing to find out which side was coming.
A group of cavalry soon appeared in everyone's field of vision, and looking at their black cloaks and the high shoulder pads on their shoulders, the Soviet soldiers immediately recognized their own cavalry. Without waiting for them to cheer, the cavalry contingent rushing along the road, shouting "Ula", brandished their sabers and rushed towards the German soldiers who were about to flee on motorcycles.
The only machine gun the Germans had opened fire on the sidecar of the motorcycle. After a barrage of bullets were fired, several horsemen who rushed to the front were shot and fell off their horses, and their horses also fell over in the run because they suddenly lost control, and then tripped over the other horses, and were swept under the iron hooves around them along with their masters.
But even so, the war horse in the high-speed impact is also constantly advancing. At this moment, the cavalry of the Soviet army had rushed into a short distance, hundreds of war horses were galloping at the same time, and the movement of iron hooves was like rolling thunder, so that even Rokossovsky, who was a hundred meters away, felt that the ground under his feet was trembling slightly.
"No need, comrade driver." Rokossovsky, who was squatting next to the car, waved his hand from the driver in the car and said: "Don't you see that we have more people now than the Germans?" I hope it won't be long before I can wipe out all the enemies. ”
