Chapter 888: Battle of the Far East - Groundhog

Karmakov Alexander Petrovich was originally a free youth in a small village near Minsk, he was good at farming, he also did some blacksmith work, and he was a young man who was very popular in the village. Petrovich thought that he would spend his whole life like this, from a young man that everyone liked to a middle-aged man that everyone liked, and finally an old man that everyone liked. However, the war suddenly came, and the Tsar issued a very strict mobilization order, and all the young people were to take up arms and go to the battlefield. Petrovich had to leave his beloved girl and become one of the gray animals.

Petrovich fantasized that he would become a hero, but the war was cruel, and the enemy had great firepower, so Petrovich had to retreat with everyone. The march on the white expanse became the whole of Petrovich's military life. Although life was boring and the cold weather caused him a lot of pain, Petrovich was still very happy. Because he knew some veterans, and the war that the veterans talked about made Petrovich very scared, and it was really good to be able to live peacefully.

But Petrovich's quiet life was not destined to last, and the nobles suddenly gave very cruel orders, and the troops went out like wild beasts, and began to run wild like a desperate man. Petrovich didn't even know which direction everyone was running, only that the food was so bad that they had to run for a long time every day, but all they could replenish their energy was some potatoes like ice cubes. It was easy not to run anymore, but Petrovich had to face the real battle, and their company received an order to attack some enemy on the hills.

"Damn, the enemy's bunker is too big, how many people can there be in it, we're going to die!" Everyone struggled to move forward in knee-deep snow, but in the distance they saw the enemy's towering bunkers at the highest point of the ridge, and the veterans inevitably cursed.

"Don't worry, we're strong! And their bunkers are lonely and completely unsupported, we can easily take where they are! "There is no shortage of optimists in the army, that is, people who want to be heroes, and these guys can write down the words of the nobles as they are.

After listening to the words of the veteran, Petrovich was very frightened and felt that his legs could not be lifted a little. But after being encouraged, he looked back again, and immediately his legs became lighter. There are really a lot of people on my side, and it is not only my own company that attacked, but also many, many people. Petrovich didn't know the system and didn't know how to count, but he could see very clearly that there were many comrades-in-arms in front of him, left and right, and there were comrades in arms who couldn't be seen at a glance.

"Wait for death! Manchurian talent won't be that simple, it's a fucking trap! …… They alone can beat us ten...... Damn it...... Who the is going to save me......" The veterans were so emotional that some of them actually cried as they walked, they were already desperate for the battle.

"Bang!" One of the veterans suddenly fired a shot in front of him, and then quickly fell into the snow, followed by almost all the veterans. Petrovich saw that the company commander was just squatting, so he followed and just squatted.

"What's wrong!" The company commander squatted and looked at it for a long time, then turned around and asked viciously.

"There is an ambush, and the snow in front of me has moved!" The veteran refused to get up, and shouted in a general direction.

The company commander looked at it with a telescope for a while, and then stood up: "Get out, you coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, there is nothing there!" ”

"There is an ambush, there is an ambush!" The veterans didn't answer, they just lay on their stomachs and refused to get up, but more veterans bluffed, and some even got up and tried to run back.

"Bang! Get up, keep walking, and if you try to run away, I'll put you to death!" "The officers opened fire, then entered the ranks of the soldiers, and kicked and beat the veterans one by one.

The group continued to advance, but the veterans became cringe, especially the first one to shoot, who had been staring at the place he had just pointed. Petrovich felt that this guy was too timid, and it was normal for so many people to walk up the mountain and the snow to loosen. However, Petrovich still brought up the news, he no longer wants to be a hero, he wants to go home alive, and it is better to cringe a little than to die.

"It's almost there, I'll pee somewhere in a while, hahaha!" The optimists began to laugh at the veteran, who was less than a hundred meters away from where the veteran was pointing, and it seemed that the veteran had indeed misunderstood.

"Oh God!" The veterans ignore the fools who have not experienced war, they just stare at the suspicious things, and then they see the danger, and the muzzle of the black hole sticks out of the snow.

......Before the veterans pounced, gunshots rang out in the snow, and bullets rained down like bullets. The veterans had only discovered one anomaly, but now dozens of machine guns were firing at them at the same time. Countless soldiers, without even changing the expressions on their faces, fell directly and softly, as if death had suddenly drained their souls from behind. Petrovich wanted to lie down, but his body did not obey, and he tried several times, but he just twisted it on the spot like a fool. A panicked veteran tried to escape, he happened to pass in front of Petrovich, and then his head exploded in front of Petrovich's eyes. Blood, *, and bones splattered all over Petrovich's face, and the corpse of the veteran smashed on Petrovich's body, so that he could finally lie down.

"Shoot back, return fire......" the officers roared.

The soldiers began to return fire, but they did not know where to shoot. There was only a white expanse in front of him, and he could only see the bodies of his comrades who had died tragically, and no one knew where the enemy was. Everyone was shooting aimlessly, and many were shooting at the huge pillbox a kilometer away. More people began to crumble, they could not find the enemy, but they had to face the constant death in front of them, and they fled to the rear for their lives.

"There! There's heat there, they're in the bunker! "The enemy's rate of fire was fast, but there was no spark in the muzzle, and the soldiers could not find them at all. The officers were much smarter, they discerned the direction from which the shots were coming from, found the heat in the snow, and quickly pointed it to the soldiers.

"Woo...... Rumble...... ......But the soldiers still couldn't find the right target, and the enemy shelling began. The sound of the explosion almost deafened everyone, the splash of snow and dirt obscured the view, and the huge shock wave and flying shrapnel took the lives of countless people.

"Retreat, retreat!" The officers gave the order to retreat, and they did not want to die here without even finding the enemy.

Petrovich didn't fire a single shot, he seemed to be paralyzed, lying on his stomach in the snow without moving. But when he retreated, he quickly stood up and ran back with everyone. When he returned to the camp, Petrovich was given hot water and hot potatoes, which made him feel very happy, because many people could no longer eat them. Petrovich did not see his superiors, because all the superiors had gone to the meeting. Petrovich didn't care about any of this, the battle that might have been related to him was over.

After having eaten his fill, Petrovich fell into a groggy sleep, and in a dream he saw the girl he loved. But his dream was interrupted, and a leather boot kicked him awake, and the big soles almost kicked him in the face. The troops were regrouped, and they had to continue their attack. It's already dark, why don't you take away the opportunity for the soldiers to shiver in the cold night, and go to war at night. Petrovich was upset, but he had to carry out the order, or the commander would shoot him.

The task of this attack was much simpler, their company had nothing to do with the pillboxes on the mountain, they were going to occupy a Manchurian bunker. The officers had a rare share of things with the soldiers, including the terrain, including the way of attacking, and the officers offered very generous rewards. If they were able to take the bunker, the soldiers could get barbecue and wine, and even enjoy the yellow beauties of the East after the battle. Petrovich wanted to be rewarded, but he wanted to live even more, so he carefully observed the reaction of the veterans. The veterans were not happy, they whispered, Petrovich heard it, it was nothing more than a death or something.

The officer asked everyone to quietly approach the enemy before launching a surprise attack on the enemy, but this did not seem to work, and the enemy had already discovered them. When everyone walked to the place where they had been attacked during the day, a dazzling flare rose into the sky, and everything seemed to be the same as it had been a few hours ago. But there is also a little benefit, the Russian army finally knows where its enemy is. The company commander commanded everyone to rush to their target, and Petrovich found that it was the same place where the veterans noticed the anomaly during the day.

Because of the clear goal, after the company suffered heavy casualties, they still rushed to the target's position. The enemy's terrifying machine guns had ceased fire a few minutes ago, and there was almost no difference between this place and other snowfields, and everyone had been looking for a long time, but they did not find half of the enemy's shadow, not a single footprint. Fire from other directions of the enemy was still coming in, and everyone did not even have a place to hide. The company commander was anxious to kill himself, according to the plan, he should occupy this position and then rely on this place to continue the attack, but why is there nothing here.

"Here, here......" Petrovich made a discovery, he found a hole in the ground, but it was blocked by sandbags.

"Damn, they're underground!" The company commander finally found the enemy's position, and then a bullet flew out of nowhere and took his life.

Other units of the Russian army also made similar discoveries, the enemy turned out to be underground, and all they found was holes. But the enemies who had slaughtered them here had long since slipped away, and they moved to other holes to continue their slaughter.
