Section 55 Not a simple opponent

Kroskov put on his belt and cotton cap and said to me: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, it is the 946th Regiment of the 2836th Brigade that is defending the right flank position. I will immediately take the first company to support them, and the second and third companies will remain under your command. ”

"Nope." I decisively stopped him and said angrily: "Now the situation outside is unknown, and we don't know at all how many troops the enemy has and what kind of equipment the enemy has for the sneak attack on the 2836th Regiment." Moreover, the attrition of our battalion is also very large, there are less than fifty people left in each company, and the reinforcements go less, so it will not play a role; If we go too much, it will weaken the defensive strength of our position. ”

"We can't die without help! If the positions of the 2836 regiment were lost, our flanks would also be exposed to the enemy. Hearing the increasingly dense gunfire outside, Croshikov was so anxious that he walked back and forth a few times in the shelter with his hands behind his back, and then stopped and said to me: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, why don't we leave a few fighters here to keep guard, and the rest of the troops go to reinforce the 2836th Regiment?" ”

"Nope." Without hesitation, I vetoed his proposal, reminding him: "Our task is to hold this position." What if the enemy takes the opportunity to sneak up on our positions when we go for reinforcements? You don't think that with the few fighters we have left, you can hold back the enemy and hold the position, do you? ”

"However, if you don't go, the position of the 2836th Regiment will be dangerous."

"The positions of the 2836 regiment were lost, and the troops of the 946 brigade could organize a counterattack to recapture it. But if our positions are lost, the division headquarters will not even have troops to counterattack. ”

"We can't die without help!"

"If I say no, I can't." Seeing his stubbornness, I couldn't help but get angry, and my tone became unpolite, and I slammed the table and said, "This is an order, there is no room for negotiation." ”

Seeing that I was so resolute, he sat down in a huff and said nothing. The two of us just sat silently, one looking to the left and the other to the right.

The phone rang on the table, he grabbed the phone, and said angrily: "I'm the first-class instructor Croshikov, where are you?" I vaguely heard the person on the other side of the microphone report his identity, and Kroschikov stood up and said loudly: "Comrade division commander, hello, you haven't rested so late?" ”

I couldn't hear what Panfilov was saying on the phone because of the sound of gunfire outside, but Kroschikov, who answered the phone, kept answering: "Yes, yes." ”

Although I had a dispute with him at work, the purpose was to do my part well. As soon as I saw him put down the phone, I immediately asked in a steady tone, "What did the division commander say on the phone?" ”

Unexpectedly, when I asked like this, he actually blushed and said with some shame: "The division commander told us to hold our positions and not attack casually, and said that the rest of the 946 Brigade has gone to reinforce the 2836 Regiment, and we will soon be able to repel the enemy's sneak attack." Speaking of this, he also took the initiative to apologize to me and said: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you are right, please forgive me for my impulsiveness just now." ”

"It's okay, it's all about work, and don't take it to heart." I politely replied to him and took the initiative to reach out and shake his hand, and all conflicts disappeared in this hand.

After Kroschikov shook hands with me, he went out to check the sentry with a submachine gun on his back, and I sat alone at the table in a daze. Thinking back to what has happened in the last few days, I have a vague sense that there is a not simple figure among the German commanders opposite.

The tactic of taking advantage of the artillery to bombard the enemy's positions and charging forward on the explosive point only appeared in the self-defense counterattack in the late 70s. I had only used it once, and the Germans had learned this tactic in the second day's attack, and it was a question of whether they would have been able to hold their positions if they had not been discovered by the observation posts and acted in time.

Last night I had just organized a detachment to carry out a sneak attack on the German camp, and we achieved good results. Unexpectedly, the Germans touched the position of the 2836th Regiment tonight, although the victory or defeat has not yet been decided, but according to my understanding of the combat effectiveness of both sides, the casualties of the Soviet army must be not small.

Although the Germans are currently attacking the 2836th Regiment on the right flank, I always have a feeling of unsteadiness in my heart, and I always feel that their target is not there. Could it be the enemy's ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain? Deliberately sneak attack the positions of the 2836th Regiment, lure us to send reinforcements there, and then take advantage of the emptiness of our positions to suddenly capture our positions? If that's the case, then this opponent on the other side is terrible. I just don't know what level of character Lu Dao's opponent is, battalion commander, regiment commander or higher-level commander?

Just as I was thinking about it, a crisp gunshot rang out outside, and in a few moments, the dense gunfire outside rang out. I listened carefully, and there were both German MP40s firing, as well as Soviet Mosin Nagant rifles, carbines, and Sokolov heavy machine guns.

Could it really be that the enemy is coming to sneak attack? Thinking of this, I grabbed the submachine gun on the table and stood up, lifted the curtain and planned to take a look outside.

The phone on the desk rang. I lowered the curtain, turned around and threw myself at my desk and grabbed the phone. Before I could speak, Croshikov's anxious voice came from inside: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, just now the sentry noticed that a large number of figures were moving towards the positions of our troops, so they opened fire to warn them. Unexpectedly, the other side immediately fired at us with heavy fire, and I was organizing fighters here in the first company to block the enemy. The fighters of the second and third companies are also entering the position. ”

"Understood, resolutely hold the position, and do not allow the enemy to move forward." With that, I threw down the phone and walked out of the shelter with my submachine gun. Because I rushed too fast, I collided with a person standing at the door, and the huge inertia made me sit on the ground with my ass.

"Who is TMD? Walk without eyes. I scolded in a fit of rage.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Major, but I'm Bahadou." The other party quickly identified himself to me.

"Didn't you stand in the masking department?"

"I am ordered by the division commander to protect your safety as if I were my own eyes."

"Stop talking nonsense, pull me up, I can't stand up."

"Yes." Bahadou answered, and with the help of the light from the masking department, he grabbed my outstretched hand and pulled me up from the ground.

It was too dark for me to see anything from a dozen meters away, and I could only judge the approximate position of the Germans from the muzzle flames of their guns, and I picked up my submachine gun and pulled the trigger at those positions. For the sake of safety, I changed places after a few shots, so as not to become a target for the enemy. Bahadou is like a follower, wherever I run, he follows; I shoot and he shoots, and I throw bombs and he throws bombs.

"Boom!" A mortar shell exploded not far away, splashing me with snow and dirt. I shook my head, shook the dirt off my hat, and continued to run around the trenches, firing a few shots to change places.

"Comrade Major, pay attention to concealment." Bahadou shouted anxiously from behind.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, the cannonballs that can kill me haven't been produced yet." I replied nonchalantly as I shot outside the trench.

"Be careful!" Bahadou threw me to the ground, and a cannonball exploded above the trench, covering us with a thick layer of soil.

"Bahadou, you're all right, are you?" I cautiously asked the warrior who was pressing on my back. The shell exploded at such a close distance, he wouldn't have been injured or killed.

"It's all right, Comrade Major. Not a single hair was hurt. Bahadou replied as he got up. When he got up, he bent down to help me up and helped me clean the dirt from my body.

"Hehe," I said to him with a smile, "I'm not wrong, the shells that can kill me haven't been produced yet." ”

When I said that, he laughed in agreement.

Before the laughter could fall, another shell whizzed into the trench and exploded behind Bahadou. I felt a jolt all over my body, and then I was knocked to the ground by a strong blast of air. I fell heavily on my back in the trench, feeling no pain, only a thick feeling of fatigue coming over me, and my vision gradually blurred until I could see nothing......
