Section 81 Bloody Battle Station (8)
Under the cover of heavy snow, our troops quickly approached the ruins of the station.
The sound of gunfire on both sides of the war drowned out the sound of our movements, so much so that when we reached the ruins, the Germans besieging the station did not notice it in the slightest. As soon as he entered the designated attack position, without waiting for my order, Ishayev took the initiative to spread out the artillery battery on the perimeter of the ruins, and the muzzles of a dozen mortars of 50 and 82 mm caliber were aimed at the front.
Strange as it may seem, just as we were about to start attacking, the snow suddenly and slowly became lighter, and soon stopped completely. As soon as the snow stopped, my vision suddenly opened up, and I was surprised to find that there was still a road about ten meters between where we were and the position occupied by the Germans. Originally, our army also built a lot of barricades and fortifications here, but after being bombed by German planes and artillery, it has become a bleak ruin, and the ruins are covered with the corpses of the dead, both German and ours, in contrast, the corpses of our soldiers on the defensive side are more numerous.
Looking into the distance, the German tank I saw just now, perhaps too unscrupulous when it rushed forward just now, actually passed through the frame of a scrapped bus, and now the body of the bus is hanging on the barrel. With such a behemoth, it would be a bit overwhelming to hit the walls of the building. Several times I rushed to the wall to make a impact, but because of the cushioning effect of the body, I did not achieve the goal.
"Fire!" Ishaev, who was next to me, suddenly shouted, startling me, who was unprepared. With the "Boom, Boom, Boom!" "A series of cannon shots were heard, and a dozen shells whistled towards the Germans. The shells landed precisely where the Germans were gathered, and exploded one after another, and the air waves lifted all the objects near the explosion point into the air, and the German soldiers were blown to pieces. Seeing that many of the bombed masonry and rubble had crackled into our hidden pile of rubble, I secretly felt glad that I had not attacked at the same time as the shelling, otherwise the flying masonry would have caused us unnecessary casualties.
The German soldiers were blinded by our surprise attack, and many of them were lying around with guns in their hands, desperate to find out where the blow was coming from. While they were stunned, the second round of shells from the artillery company went out again, and more enemies went to God with questions.
Seeing that the infantry was under shelling, the German tank hurriedly retreated backwards, and kept turning the turret, presumably trying to knock the obstructive bus off. However, the artillery did not give it a chance to get out, and several shells whistled straight towards the tank. With the exception of one that exploded next to it, the rest of the shells hit the body with accuracy. The tank, which was enveloped in fire and smoke, struggled back and retreated, and was completely paralyzed, and none of the tankers were able to escape from it.
Another round of shells roared down on the German positions, and the debris that was lifted into the air by the blast air, except for a few that fell on our positions, the rest was evenly scattered on the German positions, smashing the German soldiers who had not been patronized by the shells for the time being.
I slammed to my feet, picked up my submachine gun and slammed into the German position, knocking down several soldiers who were standing up and running around to avoid falling rocks. The gunfire was an order, and almost as soon as I was shooting, there was a sudden burst of gunfire around me.
I raised my submachine gun, which was still smoking from the muzzle, and was about to give a loud order to attack, but the soldiers had already jumped up with a shout, jumped up on the rubble, and shot while holding their guns. Seeing this situation, I nodded secretly, it seems that these company commanders are not bad, they know how to grasp the fighter plane, and know when the best time to attack.
Not only did the troops on the left and right flanks attack on all fronts, but even my platoon of guards rushed forward with their guns in hand, and in this case, it was impossible for me to stay where I was, so I also tightened my grip on my submachine guns and rushed forward after the soldiers.
The speed of the fighters' attacks was fast, and they rushed over at a distance of more than ten meters. By the time I crossed the rubble and stepped onto the road separating the positions of the two armies, the battle was nearing its end.
At this moment, a string of bullets flew from somewhere, and several soldiers around me were shot and fell to the ground. The warrior standing in front of me leaned back and slammed into me. In a hurry, I hurriedly reached out to help him, but was rushed back a few steps by the huge inertia, if it wasn't for the sudden support of someone behind me at this time, I guess I would have fallen on this muddy road.
I turned my head to see that it was Aggie who had helped me, and he had taken the soldier's body from my hand and carefully placed it on the ground. Agumint ran to my side, half-crouching and raising his gun to aim. I looked in the direction of his gun, and it turned out that the shot was fired by a dozen German soldiers hiding in the wreckage of the bus. They hid in the carriages and fired wildly at the charging soldiers, many of whom had already fallen under their guns.
As a gunshot rang out next to me, a German soldier threw his gun in his hand and planted it out of the window of the car with his chest clutched. The remaining German soldiers, five or six more were killed by the intensive fire of the fighters, and the rest, after emptying the magazines of the submachine guns, shouted loudly and raised their hands in surrender to our troops. However, the soldiers had already been red-eyed, and at this time they couldn't stop even if they wanted to, and the dense bullets were still shooting into the carriage. In the end, except for two who were particularly lucky enough to become prisoners, the rest were shot indiscriminately and turned into a sieve.
The sound of shooting on the battlefield gradually thinned out, and then fell completely silent.
The defenders in the building opposite, from the beginning of the shelling of our troops, stopped firing and hid in the building to watch what happened. Now that the battle is over, someone cautiously pokes their head out of the window. However, in order to prevent misunderstanding, they first stretched out a military flag full of bullet holes and burned a horn from the window and waved vigorously to identify them. Seeing that our people were slowly approaching the building, someone from the upper floor poked his head out and shouted, "Hey, comrades, which part of you are from?" ”
"We are from the independent battalion of the 1077th regiment, which part are you?" Second Lieutenant Feerstov stood in front of the building and replied loudly.
"We are the first battalion and three companies of the 1077th regiment, and we have never heard of any independent battalions, which part of you are in?" Then I heard the man who spoke in the building giving an order: "All of them, ready to fight!" ”
Not to be outdone, our fighters pointed their guns at the building. In this tense situation, I hurriedly stepped forward and said to Ferstov: "Let the soldiers put down their guns, don't you see our flag flying in the building?" ”
Seeing that everyone had put down their weapons, I came downstairs alone, looked up and said loudly: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina, the special commissioner of the front army, and this unit I led was temporarily formed behind enemy lines. What part are you from? ”
"Lieutenant Colonel Oshanina?" "That's right, it's her, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel." There was an excited conversation between several people in the building. In a short time, a few people came out of the hole that had just been bombarded by German shells, and came to me in a few steps. One of the leading sergeants saluted me and reported loudly: "Comrade Colonel Report, Sergeant Gelia reports to you!" ”
Gellia, the name sounds quite familiar, and I was thinking back to where I had heard it, when Aggie stepped forward and whispered in my ear: "Comrade commander, this Gellia, you ordered him to escort those rescued comrades back to the defense area a few days ago, have you forgotten?" ”
Hearing Aji say this, I suddenly realized, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Geria's hand and said, "It turned out to be you, Comrade Sergeant, I didn't expect us to meet here." ”
"Yes," he took my hand with both hands, and said excitedly, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I can bring you back......" Before he could finish his words, a shout suddenly came from a distance in the distance: "The German devils have come up!" ”
Hearing this unexpected news, the people around me couldn't help but panic a little, I quickly broke my hand out of Geria's hand, turned around and gave an order to the crowd: "Prepare for battle!" ”
