Suddenly, I felt the machine gun stop, and I pressed the gun button several times, but nothing happened. Jeanne, who was beside me, shouted in my ear in a hoarse voice: "All the bullets are gone, Comrade Lieutenant!" "I followed her finger and saw a pile of emptied ammunition boxes and a mountain of bullet casings on the ground.

On the southern slope positions, fierce fighting continued. The Germans were a well-trained elite division that had been battle-hardened for battle, and the soldiers who broke into the trenches engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the militia fighters, and they gradually mastered the initiative on the battlefield with their skillful combat skills. As more and more German soldiers entered the trenches, the militia units were already a little overwhelmed, and in addition to retreating to the left and right of the trenches step by step, some fighters simply jumped out of the trenches with guns in their hands, bent over and running briskly towards the second line of defense. But most of these fighters were knocked down by German fire in the open field.

Most of the German tanks were destroyed after continuous shelling by our company's anti-aircraft guns, and the remaining three tanks increased their horsepower and rushed over the first line of trenches and quickly rushed towards the second one.

"Boom, boom!" The anti-aircraft guns continued to fire at the lower part of the trench, and with a series of successive explosions, the three tanks drove in a twisted motion with billowing black smoke and stopped at a distance of five or six meters from the second trench. Several fighters with submachine guns immediately jumped out of the trench and fired mercilessly at the tankers who escaped from the tanks. The tankmen, who were lucky enough to escape from the tanks, fell under the guns of the fighters without any suspense.

After a while, the anti-aircraft gun fire also stopped, and the second lieutenant came running over and reported to me that all the ammunition had run out. I secretly complained in my heart, when I ran out of ammunition, I could no longer provide fire support to the infantry defending below, what should I do?

"Comrade Lieutenant," seeing that I had not spoken for a long time, the second lieutenant leaned over and said, "We should enter the position to help the infantry in their defense." ”

"That's right," echoed Jeanne, who was standing next to me, "the bullets are all gone, and it's useless for us to stay here, we should go to the position and help the infantry fighters fight the Germans." ”

I groaned for a moment, and then resolutely ordered: "The female soldiers will stay and guard the anti-aircraft guns, and the male soldiers will follow me to the position." ”

As soon as I entered the position, I saw the captain running around in the trenches and directing. Everyone else wears a steel helmet, but he still wears a big-brimmed hat, and I don't know if he feels invulnerable to knives and guns, or just to show off. Anyway, I've always put safety first and prevention first, so as soon as the cannon sounded, I immediately put on the steel helmet. Seeing that he stopped not far in front of me, he hurriedly ran over: "Comrade Captain, Lieutenant Oshanina has come to support with an anti-aircraft artillery company, please instruct." ”

"Great, the new force is coming!" The captain's eyes narrowed happily and asked, "How many people are there, and what kind of weapons do they have?" ”

"The second platoon and the third platoon came, and there were sixty fighters, all armed with rifles."

"Here," the lieutenant casually gestured to the side, "your troops are deployed here." It's still the same old saying: to be driven here like a nail, you can't take a step back. Seeing that I was about to walk away, he immediately added: "Don't run around, just stay by my side and listen to my direct command." After saying this, he looked left and right, lowered his voice and whispered to me, "Except for me and you, all the officers on the position have died. ”

Although all the German tanks were destroyed, the soldiers who occupied the first line of trenches, even without the cover of armored troops and artillery fire, fiercely carried submachine guns and rifles, lined up in a straggler formation, and rushed towards us.

"Don't shoot!" The captain shouted loudly: "Put the German devils close and fight again." ”

When the German skirmishers advanced to only fifty meters from our trenches, the captain suddenly shouted: "Fire!" ”

Suddenly, the light and heavy weapons on the position opened fire together, and the advancing German troops were caught off guard, and many of the soldiers in the first two rows were knocked down, and the rest hurriedly lay on the ground and opened fire with us.

"Boom, boom, boom······" The sudden artillery fire suddenly blew the first trench into a sea of fire. The incoming Germans were completely separated from the troops behind. The German soldiers who were shooting at us hastily retreated into the trenches that were still under their control.

"This is artillery support from the army group for our positions." The captain leaned into my ear and shouted.

Although the Germans all retreated into the trenches, they still suffered heavy casualties under the heavy artillery fire of our troops. If it weren't for the fact that our artillery shells had blown a wall of fire between them and the follow-up troops, it is estimated that they would have retreated long ago.

Our artillery fire began to extend, and I saw the bloody corpses of the Germans lying all over the first trench, and it seemed that the Germans occupying the trenches had become a lone army.

"Comrade Captain," I leaned into the Captain's ear and said to him, "the Germans are no longer able to resist it, and we should strike back and regain the lost position." ”

The captain looked at the situation opposite, nodded, did not speak, jumped out of the trench, stood on a high place, raised the submachine gun in his hand above his head, and shouted loudly: "Comrades! For the Motherland! ~~ For Leningrad!! ~~ For Stalin!! ~~Before~~ In! The first ······" His shouting suddenly stopped, and he fell into the trench on his back.

I looked back and saw a bullet hole in his eyebrow that was bleeding out. I went up and touched his carotid artery, but I couldn't feel any heartbeat, and it seemed that the German devil's bullet had killed him.

Originally, many soldiers who jumped out of the trench were a little overwhelmed when they saw the captain fall, and when several soldiers also followed in the footsteps of the captain, they were so frightened that the rest of them either lay down on the spot or jumped back into the trench. Seeing this situation, I felt bad in my heart, the sacrifice of the captain had a great impact on morale, although the number of German troops on the opposite side was not large, but if they took the opportunity to attack, whether we could hold this trench was also a question.

After the death of the captain, I am the supreme commander of the position, what should I do? I remember watching a former Soviet film with such a scene: the Soviet army repeatedly failed to attack a position held by the German army, so it retreated to the starting point of the attack in embarrassment. The female hygienist of the army found that in the middle of the positions of the two armies, there were wounded soldiers on her side moaning in pain, so she rushed over to bandage the wounds of the soldiers. When the Germans discovered this brave hygienist, they first opened fire, but when they saw that they could not be sure, they sent men to the outside of the position to try to capture her alive. At this critical moment, the blood of the Soviet soldiers was aroused, and they rushed forward in the face of the enemy's bullets and bullets, and conquered this heavily defended position of the German army in one fell swoop.

After much hesitation, I gritted my teeth, climbed out of the trench, raised my pistol, and shouted like a captain: "Comrades, for the motherland!" For Leningrad!! Advance~~! With that, I swung my pistol forward and strode forward.

Although I appeared righteous on the surface, in fact, I was counting in my heart as I walked, if I had taken ten steps and no warriors had followed, should I lie down on the spot and find cover?

Ten steps passed, but there was still no movement behind me, and I couldn't help but pause a little, and tried to lie down on the spot, but my feet continued to move forward without being asked.

A cannonball screeched down behind me, and the blast of earth fell on me, making my helmet rattle. I shook my head and shook the dirt off my helmet, and my mind changed, and it seemed that even lying down would not help, and even if I could dodge the bullets, I couldn't dodge the bombs falling from the sky. I can only move forward in front of me, even if I am beaten into a sieve by the bullets of the German devils, I can only continue to move forward.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me, and when I looked back, I saw the second lieutenant running up with a rifle in his hand, followed by a straggler line of soldiers from the anti-aircraft artillery company.

The bottom of the summer uniform of the female soldiers was a skirt, and I could not run like them, so I could only stride forward. After a few more steps forward, I heard the sound of "Ula" behind me, muffled by the sound of artillery and fire, and I didn't have to look back to know that it must be the soldiers on the position who had begun to attack on all fronts.

More and more fighters, armed with rifles and submachine guns, crossed me and rushed towards the enemy's positions like fierce tigers in the mountains.

Shells whistled one after another and fell into the middle of the attacking ranks, and from time to time someone fell, but it was simply unable to stop the pace of the attack, and the fast-moving fighters had already jumped into the trenches in front of them, and fought with bayonets with the German troops who were not firmly established inside.

Thirty meters to go, I was at the edge of the trench, and another screaming shell landed in front of me to the left, and a puff of earth rose into the sky, and I suddenly felt as if I had been struck in the chest with a hammer, and the force of the impact smashed me to the ground.
