Seeing Diomi leading the warriors to rush up with a shout, I was angry. I wanted to sneak into the village and shoot no shots. But you are good, as soon as you charge, you start shouting, for fear that you will not be able to alarm the enemy. It was supposed to be a good sneak attack, but you made it a strong attack. But now that the boat was in full swing, and I didn't want to alarm the enemy, I could only rush up after me, silently praying in my heart that I could take the position before the Germans reacted.

The south side of the hill has a gentle slope, but it is not easy to run with my current physique. By the time I ran to the top of the slope out of breath, the battle was nearing its end. The German machine gunners, who were already small in number, were caught off guard by us, and even if they tried to resist stubbornly, before they could turn their guns, they were stabbed down by the fighters with bayonets.

I bent over, clung my rifle to the ground as a crutch, gasping for air. When I was relieved to breathe, I immediately ordered Sergeant Gerasimenko, who was standing beside me: "Sergeant, you immediately send someone to the division to report that we have begun to attack the German positions, and ask the division headquarters to send troops to attack immediately, and join us inside and outside." ”

"Comrade Major, don't bother so much, I can inform them in the flag." Sergeant Gerasimenko said, pulling out the signal flag attached to the belt of his waist and waving it in a higher position.

Not only sending someone to report the news, but also using the flag to send a signal, in fact, is a bit redundant. It is estimated that from the moment we set out, Colonel Anchufeev sent special personnel to observe the movements on the position. Perhaps as soon as we reached the top of the hill, the colonel received information from the observation post and gave the order for the troops to attack.

The movement of the 7th Company's attack just now was too great, which not only alarmed our troops, but also woke up the Germans stationed at the foot of the hillside. Almost at the same time that we were completely annihilating the German troops on the hillside, dozens of German infantrymen armed with rifles and submachine guns rushed up.

The soldiers of the 7th Company, who were close to the side of the hill, raised their rifles and fired a salvo at the rushing Germans. The German soldiers in the front row, as if they had been pushed by someone, fell down several times, and then rolled down the slope with a bone. The German soldiers in the back row immediately reacted, raised the guns in their hands and began to shoot.

In such a sudden encounter, neither side thought of concealing with the help of terrain features, and subconsciously pulled the trigger, wanting to overwhelm each other with firepower! The two sides were almost face-to-face, and they launched a frantic shooting! In the middle of the shooting, the formation of both sides. Someone kept snorting and falling down.

Until the two sides ran out of bullets in the chambers, they did not reload, and they did not have time to reload, so they rushed forward with the rifles of the bayonets and started a bloody white-knives battle.

The Germans had always focused only on the speed of infantry fire and the constant firepower on the battlefield, and only in isolated cases such as street battles or trench assault battles did soldiers use grenades, daggers, and sapper shovels for hand-to-hand combat. And every soldier of the Seventh Company has been instructed by Hojo Tanio, after his demonic training, the soldiers' stabbing skills can't be improved if they don't want to, and they are handy in white-knuckle combat at this moment. The German army's stabbing skills were originally inferior to the Soviet army, and at this moment, they encountered soldiers who had been trained by Japanese instructors, and they were even more at a disadvantage. It often took three or four German soldiers to fall before a soldier of the seventh company fell in a pool of blood.

Captain Diomi stabbed a tall German soldier with his rifle, but the guy dodged the fatal blow in a flash, and smashed the sapper shovel viciously at Diomi with both hands. Diomi slammed his slam at the bayonet, and the bayonet was bent by the shovel. At this moment, a blood flower suddenly erupted from his ribs, and he was hit by a stray bullet flying from somewhere. His body shook and he almost fell. Seeing that there was an opportunity, the German soldier picked up the sapper shovel and smashed it down. Seeing that Diomi was in danger, I quickly picked up my rifle and aimed at the German soldier.

I looked at the gun in my hand in surprise, and said that I hadn't shot yet, why did this German devil hang up? Turning my head, I saw Sergeant Gerasimenko half-crouching next to me, pulling the bolt of the gun, and an outgoing cartridge casing with white smoke picked out the magazine, which turned out to be fired by him. After killing the devil, he turned his gun and went to find a new target.

Seeing the enemy in front of him falling, Diomi couldn't hold on any longer, and sat down, and the guide Mikolin, who had just defeated a German soldier next to him, hurriedly ran over and helped him up and retreated.

Although our men had the upper hand in the stabbing battle, in the confrontation just now, the seventh company suffered more than 30 casualties, and more than a dozen fell in the stabbing, and now more than 40 fighters are still fighting bayonets. And the Germans at the bottom of the slope are still pouring up, far outnumbering us, and if we continue to fight, it will be us who will suffer the most.

I saw a heavy machine-gun bunker not far from the front, and quickly turned around and shouted to the guards behind me, "You go and help the guide bring Captain Diomi back." Then he lunged over and jumped straight into the bunker. As soon as he landed, his feet stepped on a pile of smooth easts, and he was unstable for a while, and immediately fell on all fours.

I sat up on my back and looked down to see a thick layer of bullet holes in the bunker, so I could imagine how many bullets had come out of the heavy machine gun. I saw that the heavy machine gun in front of me was safed, but the gun was chained and ready to fire at any time. Hurriedly turned the muzzle of the gun, opened the safety, and pulled the trigger on the German soldiers who were rushing up the hillside.

A tongue of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and for a moment the gunfire was deafening, the bullet casings flew and the bullets knocked the dirt on the hillside like a boiling pot, and several German soldiers who were shot were instantly beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, and after falling to the ground, they rolled down the slope with bones.

One of the chains was gone, and I lowered my head to find a new one in the bunker to replace it with. At this moment, only the sound of the steel helmet was heard, and at the same time, a huge force was felt to hit the head, and the head instantly fell backwards like being hit by a heavy hammer, driving the body to fly backwards and crash heavily into the dirt wall of the bunker.

My mind went blank and a strange thought popped up: "Did I get a headshot?!" ”

"Comrade Major, what's wrong with you?" It was as if there was a man crouching next to me, shouting loudly in my ear.

My mind was still blank, my eyes were blank as I looked at the people around me, I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak. Seeing that I was staring and not speaking, the other party generally grabbed my arms and shook them vigorously, while continuing to shout loudly: "Comrade Major! Comrade Major! What's wrong with you? It's all right, is it? ”

After a while, I came back to my senses, instinctively reached out to touch the position of the bullet above my head, and felt a hole in the front of the steel helmet, and then I felt around the front and back of the steel helmet, left and right, and found that there was another hole in the back, which was probably pierced by a bullet. Luckily, I wore my hair in a bun and held my helmet a little high, otherwise I would have really gotten a headshot.

I sat up straight in horror and shook my head vigorously until I saw that it was Lieutenant Ugad crouching in front of me. I grabbed him by the collar and asked aloud, "Lieutenant, why are you here?" ”

"Report to the Major, we were ordered to come for reinforcements. Not only us, but the whole group came up. The battle on the hillside is over, and the troops are clearing the woods of the remnants of the enemy. ”

"The whole group is up? Where are the regimental commanders and commissars? As I spoke, I tried to stand up while holding on to the earthen wall, but as soon as I stood up straight, I felt like the world was spinning, and I fell back to the pile of bullet casings, and I felt nausea in my chest and couldn't help but vomit. Fortunately, there wasn't much to eat, and I almost digested it in the action just now, and I didn't vomit anything for a long time.

Lieutenant Ugad patted me on the back and comforted, "Don't move! Don't move! Comrade Major, the battle is over. Just sit here and rest for a while. ”

I shook my head vigorously again, feeling a little better, and immediately commanded Ugad: All is wrong! I'm fine! Comrade lieutenant, you immediately organize personnel to clean up the battlefield and beware of a counterattack by the Germans. ”

"Comrade Regiment Commander, Major Oshanina is here." Instead of answering my words, Ugard stood up and shouted into the distance.

After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Harpy also jumped into the bunker, saw my embarrassed appearance, and asked me with concern: "Major Oshanina, are you okay?" As he spoke, he crouched down and patted me on the shoulder, and continued, "I'll arrange for someone to clean up the battlefield, so you can rest here first." After speaking, he stood up and said to Ugad: "Comrade lieutenant, you take your men to clean up the battlefield, and the task of searching for the remnants of the enemy will be entrusted to the 1st and 2nd battalions. ”

After the two of them left, one after the other, I got up from my bunker, stood firm against the dirt wall, and looked down the hill. The ground in front of the position, which was covered with the remains of our soldiers, had turned purple and black with blood, and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides of the front were almost all beaten into a pile of rotten flesh and stumps. If it weren't for our sneak attack, I don't know how much we would have to pay in front of this position.

"Major Oshanina," I looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw that it was Colonel Anchufeev who had gone up the hill from some unknown point and was standing not far in front of me. He nodded approvingly at me and said, "Well done!" Major Oshanina. You have a good rest first, maybe the second line of defense that will be attacked later, and you will need to be attacked! ”
