Major Gladshev led us along the streets strewn with rubble and craters before suddenly looking back. $(). ()(x). At this look, he unconsciously stopped and asked me curiously: "Comrade General, won't you just take these few soldiers to the headquarters?" ”

I looked behind me, followed by Basmanov and a platoon of fighters. Because he did not understand the purpose of Major Gladshev's question, he could only answer honestly: "Yes, with more than thirty soldiers following, the safety of the road should be guaranteed." ”

Unexpectedly, Gladshev shook his head and said with a stern expression: "Comrade General, you don't know, we will pass by the railway station later, which is currently occupied by the enemy, and as long as there is a moving target outside, they will shoot." On the way here, seven or eight of my men were killed or wounded. ”

After Basmanov, who was walking behind, heard Gladshev's words, he hurriedly stepped forward, approached my side, and said nervously: "Comrade division commander, since the front is so dangerous, for the sake of your safety, I will send someone back to transfer another company, right?" ”

Seeing that Basmanov was about to turn around and leave, I hurriedly stopped him, but I did not express my position, saying whether I needed to send troops to move with me, but humbly asked Gladshev: "Major, how wide is the area blocked by enemy fire?" ”

The major thought for a moment and replied: "The lot blocked by the German machine guns is an open field more than thirty meters wide between the two buildings in front of the station. ”

I heard that there was only more than 30 meters of open land, and I was much more relieved that such a short distance. It only takes a few seconds to rush through. Such a short period of time. The Germans probably couldn't even react. Not to mention shooting. That's why he said to Basmanov with confidence and boldness: "Comrade Captain, there is no need to transfer troops, there are many people and big goals, and it is inconvenient to act." ”

Seeing that I didn't want to take people with me to the headquarters again, Gladshev was not reluctant, he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, Comrade General, let's go out." ”

As we continued to walk forward. Because I had been thinking about the point of German fire that Gladshev had mentioned, an inexplicable sense of fear haunted me, always fearing that when we passed through a collapsed or half-collapsed building, unexpected bullets would come out of some window.

When we walked into a building that had collapsed so much that only a few walls remained, Gladshev suddenly stopped and said to me: "Comrade General, the open area ahead is blocked by German fire, and we must get through Guò as quickly as possible." ”

I was silent, followed by the reflection of the distant fire, looked at my watch, and then walked over to a gap that had exploded and looked out. I saw a building of the same style a few dozen meters away, but it had not yet been destroyed by enemy shells and bombs. Still standing on the other side of the road. In the middle of the wide road, there were twenty or thirty people lying motionless, probably in the death zone of Guò, unfortunately fallen under the guns of the enemy.

Basmanov walked up to me and whispered to me: "Comrade division commander, shall we rush over like this?" ”

I shook my head slowly, pointed to the corpse in the clearing in front of me, and said, "If we rush over like this, many people will become one of them." Comrade Captain, you find a suitable place, mount the light machine guns we lead, and suppress the fire as soon as the enemy opens fire. The rest of the people, in groups of three, rushed to the opposite side. After the first group rushed over, they immediately set up a fire point at the rubble pile outside the opposite building, and the people who received us rushed over. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Basmanov and Gladshev replied in unison. Then Basmanov casually pointed to the two fighters and instructed them: "You two rush first with the major, and set up a firing point at the rubble pile on the opposite side to cover our rush." ”

I looked at the two fighters selected by Basmanov, one with a submachine gun and the other with a light machine gun, and if they set up a firing point on the opposite side, with their equipment they could completely suppress the enemy's firepower, I nodded with satisfaction and decisively gave the order: "When you are ready, let's attack." ”

"Follow me!" Gladshev, after shouting in a low voice, took the lead and rushed out of the building and rushed to the opposite side, followed by two guards fighters with guns. As we watched, they quickly rushed across the open area between the two buildings and mounted machine guns on the rubble pile.

Major Gladshev and when they rushed over, the expected German machine gun did not fire. Although I didn't hear the gunshots, I didn't dare to take it lightly, thinking that the Germans didn't shoot, maybe Gladshev was moving too fast to react. If we think that the Germans are defenseless, we risk a great loss.

When the second group of fighters rushed over, the Germans still did not shoot.

Then a third group of fighters rushed forward, and the Germans still did not shoot.

Seeing this situation, Basmanov asked me with some hesitation: "Comrade division commander, I have passed three groups of people, and I haven't heard the Germans open fire, is it a fuss from Major Gladshev?" Why don't we rush over the rest of us together? ”

Basmanov's words made me a little suspicious of Gladshev's words, could it be that the enemy they encountered when they came had already withdrawn? Although I thought so in my heart, I had not yet given the order for the fighters to pass the guò en masse, but said to Basmanov: "Comrade Captain, send another group of fighters to rush over and try." ”

Seeing that my attitude was so resolute, Basmanov could not say anything more, so he had to call out three more fighters and let them rush to the opposite side. Perhaps there were no problems with the three groups in a row, and the fighters had paralyzed thoughts, and the degree of running was obviously not as fast as just now. They had barely completed two-thirds of the way and were about to rush into the opposite building in a second or two, when the German machine-gun fire we had feared for a long time finally rang out.

Almost at the same time as the gunshots rang out, Basmanov lowered his voice and shouted frantically: "Lie down! Lie down!! ”

However, his shouting was still slow for a moment, except for the soldier who rushed to the front and threw himself into the dead end of the shot at the same time as the gun rang out, the two fighters behind were covered by the fire net composed of enemy machine gun bullets, and their feet were splashed with mud, and then the body running forward stopped, shook it a few times, threw the weapon in his hand, covered the wound and fell up.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot!" Seeing that his fighters had fallen under the enemy's guns, Basmanov was so anxious that he rushed over and raised his legs, kicked the fighters who were lying next to the machine guns, and angrily scolded: "You still don't shoot." The soldier, who had been kicked by him, hurriedly pulled the trigger and fired at the exposed German firing point.

When Basmanov returned to me, he said to me with some concern: "Comrade division commander, judging by the sound of gunfire and the exposed muzzle flame, the enemy has at least five machine guns, and we have only two, which cannot completely suppress them. Do you see if you want to stop this risky action? ”

"No, we have to rush to the headquarters as much as possible, so even if the enemy's fire is fierce, we must rush over." To prove my resolve, I called two more from among the fighters who stayed behind, and then said to Basmanov in a calm tone: "This time I will personally lead the men to charge." ”

"What, you personally led people to rush?" Basmanov was frightened by my decision and hurriedly persuaded me: "Comrade division commander, you can't rush, it's too dangerous." ”

Hearing him say this, I hesitated for a moment, but thinking that this was the only way to the headquarters, I forcibly suppressed the timidity in my heart and said to him calmly: "Captain, don't worry, I'll be fine." Next, I shook my head at the two fighters standing behind me and shouted, "Follow me!" After shouting, I took a deep breath, bent over and rushed forward with my submachine gun in my hand.

German machine gun bullets whizzed past me or beside me, and although I had a submachine gun in my hand, I would never run sideways and shoot in the direction of the enemy's bullets like the heroes in film and television works, which was purely looking for death. In the few seconds I spent rushing through the open field, my mind was almost blank, all I wanted was to rush through the death zone. When I saw a pile of masonry not far away, I didn't hesitate to pounce on it. As I fell to the ground so hard that I was blind, I knew in my heart that I was hiding in a blind spot that the enemy couldn't reach.

One of the warriors who rushed after me rushed into the building, while the other, a few paces away, was unfortunately hit by an enemy bullet and fell a few paces away from us, his weapon thrown aside, his hands covering his wounds, and lying on the ground groaning in pain. The soldier who had already rushed in, seeing his comrade falling, hurriedly threw down the weapon in his hand, bent down and rushed out again, grabbing the opponent's collar and rushing back like crazy. When the enemy's machine guns saw the target of the activity, all the muzzles were turned up, and a dense stream of bullets swept towards him.

Fortunately, however, there were several bodies of our soldiers on this stretch of the road, which prevented the soldier who saved his comrades from a lot of bullets, so that he was able to drag the wounded back smoothly. When he was a meter or two away from me, I didn't care about the danger, leaned out half of my body from behind the rubble, grabbed the wounded man's arm, and helped the fighters drag him in. As soon as they entered the safe area, several more fighters surrounded them and carried the wounded into the building.

I shifted to a more secluded position, cautiously poking my head out to observe the enemy's movements. About two hundred meters away from us, five or six long muzzle fireworks flickered behind the pile of rubble, which seemed to be the enemy's machine-gun position. I looked to the sides of the machine-gun emplacement, and my attention was drawn to a building that was both familiar and unfamiliar. (To be continued!)
