Section 136 Prisoners

I looked at the place where the fighting was in full swing on the other side, pursed my lips disapprerovingly, and said, "What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and no matter how many people come, they will still have no return." After saying this, I snorted contemptuously to laugh at the Germans who had come to die. As soon as I finished humming, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, how did I unconsciously speak Chinese just now? Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"What do you say? I didn't hear clearly. "Maybe the shooting outside was too loud or my voice was too quiet, and he didn't hear what I just said, and he was still asking me loudly.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the topic and asked with concern: "Comrade General, how are your injuries?" Can you hold on? ”

"It's okay, it's just a little injury, I can persevere."

"Please rest assured, Comrade Division Commander," the hygienist next to him took the initiative to help: "I have carefully examined Comrade General just now, and it is estimated that a ricocheting bullet has rubbed horizontally on his forehead, but it is only a skin injury, and it is no longer in the way after bandaging." ”

"That's good." I nodded and continued, "Since the enemy has come to reinforce them, there is no need for the enemy in the opposite building to stay. On my orders, the troops will attack immediately and wipe them all out. ”

"Totally understood." He agreed, then turned around and shouted to the side: "Someone! ”

Hearing his shout, one of the fighters immediately withdrew his weapon from the window frame, ran over in a few steps, crouched down in front of him, and asked loudly: "Comrade General, what do you command?" ”

"You immediately go and deliver the order to the troops, so that they can start attacking immediately. In the shortest possible time, all the Germans in the building must be eliminated. ”

"Yes!" The warrior excitedly agreed, got up and was about to leave. "Wait," I hurriedly stopped him, and added, "Tell them to move quickly and quickly, and that not a single enemy is allowed to escape." ”

"Understood." The soldier agreed and ran away with his gun.

"Comrade division commander," Leviagin asked me again, "what can we do next?" ”

I looked around and saw that there were still a number of warriors in the hallway with their weapons on the windowsill, aiming outside. The weapons are varied, including rifles, submachine guns, and two machine guns. Then he had an idea and ordered: "Order all the soldiers to be ready, and when the attack below begins, immediately open fire on all of them, suppress the enemy in the opposite building with firepower, and provide fire cover for our attacking troops." ”

"Understood." He agreed, stood up straight, leaned back against the wall, and shouted loudly to both sides: "All of them, listen to my command: target, enemy in the opposite building, aim, ready to shoot!" ”

At this moment, the sound of the charge suddenly came from downstairs, and at first I was my own auditory hallucination, but if you listen closely, it is the sound of the charge horn. I didn't expect the Soviet army to blow the trumpet when they charged, and I thought it was all up to the commanders at the front to shout slogans to guide the soldiers to attack. As soon as the trumpet sounded, the Soviet soldiers, who were lying in the rubble and shooting at the Germans, stood up, shouted and rushed forward with their weapons.

"Shoot!" With Leviagin's shouting, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded in the corridor, and the soldiers standing in the windows on my left and right did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and the dense bullets rained down on the opposite building, and under the suppression of condescending firepower, the original rampant German firepower weakened, and even a few windows completely stopped firing.

The battle was raging on this side, and German reinforcements appeared in the streets in the distance. I lifted my binoculars and looked over, and because of the narrow roads, ruined buildings and rubble on both sides, the German troops could only advance in a long line of snakes. An armored car opened the road in front, followed by more than two dozen German soldiers.

With a loud bang, the moving armored car turned into a fireball, flew into the air, flipped a heel in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, flames came out of the window, and the whole car was covered with black smoke and flames. Several German soldiers who were close to the car were immediately blown to pieces, and those who were lucky enough not to die hurriedly lay on the ground, looking around in fear.

"The Germans' armored vehicles have crushed our mines," Leviagin said with some regret, "but unfortunately they are not opening the way with tanks, if we can blow up their tanks at once, the casualties of our troops will be much smaller in a later fight." ”

The battle downstairs continues, our troops have a clear advantage, and quite a few fighters have approached the building. At this time, the firing point of one of the windows was resurrected, and the bullets ejected from several submachine guns formed a dense fire blockade, frantically harvesting the lives in the area.

Almost instantly, a dozen or so warriors who had rushed to the front fell to the ground, their blood staining the snow red. The fighters behind did not flinch, but rushed forward even more frantically. While the fighters kept falling, more people rushed forward.

One grenade after another flew into the window, and after a series of explosions, the German fire points were completely dumb, and countless soldiers rushed into the building with shouts.

The battle without suspense was soon over, and the fighters carried the captives out. There were more than a dozen prisoners, among whom was an officer. I looked at Leviagin next to me and said to him: "Comrade General, let's go and see what kind of people are being captured." ”

"It's good." Leviagin agreed, and then instructed the surrounding soldiers: "Everyone be on alert, the reinforcements of the Germans may soon be here." ”

We went downstairs and walked towards the captives with a group of soldiers. As I approached, I could see at a glance that the officer in the group of prisoners was the same German major von Tolmann whom I had captured. I stepped forward, brushed aside the two German prisoners in front of me, and said to the major in a flat tone, "Major Tolman, we meet again." ”

When Major Tolman saw that it was me who greeted him, he couldn't help but blush, and stammered in Russian, with some embarrassment, "Yes...... yes, I didn't expect it, I ...... I'm so ...... I'm going to be your captive again. ”

I frowned and asked coldly, "After you were captured last time, weren't you sent to the prisoner camp, how could you be here again?" ”

Tolman smiled bitterly and replied: "On the way to the prisoner camp that day, I happened to encounter a small detachment that attacked the rear of your army, and they killed the Soviet soldiers who were escorting us, and they rescued me. When I returned to the army, I met an old friend of my father, who was the commander of the 106th Infantry Division, and out of concern for me, he placed me in his division as a battalion commander. ”

After listening to his statement, I sneered: "I hope that this time our fighters can send you to the prisoner camp smoothly." ”

Before he could speak, the tanks of the German reinforcements opened fire. Shells whizzed and fell all around us, sending up a cloud of masonry and rubble that flew everywhere, injuring many soldiers who couldn't dodge.
