There was a faint noise of shouting in the distance, and it seemed that Ramis was right, the gunfire just now had alarmed the nearby German troops, and they were rushing towards this direction.

I pointed to the west and said in a loud voice, "Retreat that way, just run a few hundred meters into the woods and get rid of all these pursuers." ”

"Withdraw!" Ramis yelled. Hearing him shout like this, everyone ran with enough energy. After a short run, I was affected by a left shoulder injury, and I couldn't swing my arm vigorously, and gradually fell behind the group. As soon as Ramis saw that I was lagging behind, he immediately ran to me, and without saying a word, picked me up and put him on his shoulder.

As I approached the woods, I heard the screech of bullets coming in, and then a bullet struck the ground next to Ramis, exploding a cloud of mud and snow. Looking up and looking behind, I saw that in addition to the dense crowd of soldiers, there were two armored vehicles chasing from the city, which were rushing towards us quickly.

"Run! Come on! Run faster! I was so frightened that I hurriedly shouted: "The German armored vehicles are coming." As soon as the shout fell, a dense stream of bullets swept over, sending mud and snow flying everywhere, and the two unlucky warriors fell to the snow without saying a word.

Not far into the woods, the armored vehicle chased to the edge of the forest. The vehicle-mounted machine gun swept at us, breaking and breaking the trees around us, and in the face of such dense firepower, everyone used all their strength to rush the way, and they were afraid that if they ran slowly, they would fall under the fire.

After another run in the woods, the fighters who were at the front stopped, dispersed behind the trees, set up their guns and fired at the armored vehicles, covering our retreat.

The armored car was suddenly fired, the speed of the car slowed down, and the machine gunners turned their guns to shoot at the fighters in charge, giving us a respite as we were fleeing for our lives. Seeing that the fighters were so suppressed by the fire that they couldn't raise their heads, I hurriedly patted Ramis on the shoulder and shouted, "Stop! Hurry up and stop! ”

Ramis ran forward a few more steps and hid behind a big tree, only then did he stop and ask me breathlessly: "Comrade division commander, what is the matter?" ”

I struggled to jump off his shoulder, pointed to the position where the battle was not far away, and said, "Those fighters are dangerous, we should go over and help them, and take out the armored vehicles before the German infantry arrives." "Seeing that the two of us stopped, the rest of the soldiers did not continue to run, but all stopped and found a place to hide.

As soon as our side opened fire, it immediately attracted the attention of the Germans, and the on-board machine gun of one of the armored vehicles immediately turned its gun and fired at our side. One of the fighters next to me leaned out from behind the tree, raised his rifle with a bayonet, and was about to shoot, but unfortunately he was hit by a bullet. His body shook for a moment, then he fell on his back on the snow.

Seeing that his rifle was thrown aside, I did not rush to pick it up, but carefully observed it, and seeing that the German machine gunners did not notice me, I rushed over, grabbed the rifle on the ground, and took refuge behind a tree. I sat on the ground with my rifle in my hand and leaned against the tree, and took a few deep breaths before carefully poking my head out to observe the situation. Seeing that there was no danger, I lay down on the snow, set up my rifle and aimed it at the machine gun shooter on the armored car.

Seeing the crosshair aimed at the shooter, I pulled the trigger without hesitation. A gunshot rang out, and the shot was thrown straight from the car by the huge impact of the bullet. Immediately afterwards, the shooter of another armored car was also knocked out by the fighters. Seeing that the threat was lifted, the fighters around me immediately got up and rushed towards the armored car with their weapons in hand.

One of the fighters who had stopped first to take cover jumped out of hiding and slammed a smoke-emitting grenade into the armored vehicle. The grenade exploded at the same time as it landed on the car, and the smoke and flames engulfed the armored car.

No sooner had a German soldier escaped from a smoking armoured vehicle than he was shot down indiscriminately. The bomb-throwing fighter stepped forward and slipped another grenade into the observation hole. After the muffled explosion, the once arrogant armored car burst into flames like a torch. Another car, seeing that his companion had been blown up, turned around and ran out of the woods.

Having taken out a German armored vehicle, I stopped the pursuit of the fighters. There were at least fifty or sixty enemies outside the woods, and if a few of us were to fight them, it would be like an egg against a stone.

Ramis gathered everyone together and retreated into the middle of the woods. I quietly counted the number of people again, and there were only seven people left, and almost all of them were injured. Seeing all this, I can't help but worry, with so many German troops in hot pursuit, can we escape smoothly with just a few of us?

The more I was afraid of something, I was running forward, and suddenly I heard the roar of a motor in front of me. We stopped, stood still and listened. Ramis, who was beside me, listened for a while, and then said to me in an affirmative tone: "It's the sound of tanks and motorcycles, and there are quite a few of them, it looks like we're surrounded." ”

Hearing his words, my heart suddenly cooled half, just now only two armored vehicles, let us take care of ourselves, now there are so many tanks and motorcycles in front, it seems that this battle does not need to be fought, and I know the result.

"What should I do?" The soldiers all around me gathered around, all staring at me with a blank eye, waiting for me to make up my mind. But in this case, what can I do, just rely on a few of us with weapons with little ammunition left, to compete with the enemy's armored forces, isn't that the old birthday star hanging himself - looking for death?!

I thought to myself, "Now moving forward is death, and going backward is also death, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to let go and fight." We will definitely not be able to defeat the armored troops, but the pursuers behind are all infantry, so it is relatively easy to fight. Thinking of this, I looked around and slowly spoke: "Comrades! With mechanized troops blocking the road in front and pursuers in the rear, we are already in a desperate situation. You say, 'What should we do?' ”

"Fight with them!" One of the warriors cried out impulsively.

"Yes, fight with them! Comrade division commander, give the order! Everyone echoed each other.

"Good!" I looked at the soldiers with relief and said loudly, "Then let's turn around and go back and fight the pursuers behind." Remember: the brave wins! ”

"Meet the brave on a narrow road!" The warriors responded with a bang, then turned around and rushed forward to meet the pursuers behind them.

When we were still more than 50 meters away from the enemy, we collectively found a hidden place and lay down, set up our guns and prepared to shoot. The opposing side came to us step by step in a straggler formation, and because there was no cover from armored vehicles, they walked very slowly.

When they were still twenty meters away from us, Ramis suddenly yelled: "Fire!" As soon as his shout ended, seven or eight guns opened fire. The Germans were taken by surprise, and the five or six soldiers who were at the forefront immediately fell straight down in the snow. The remaining soldiers immediately lay down and returned fire, and the bullets sent the branches of the bushes flying around us.

Later, the roar of the motor became clearer and clearer, but no one looked back, and everyone knew that even if we looked back, it was useless, because we did not have any anti-tank weapons. Everyone had the mentality of killing one to make money by killing two, and exchanged fire with the enemy army in front of them.

Probably because of the sparse firepower we had, the armored vehicle that had fled just now drove back with a swagger. The new machine gunner in the car frantically pulled the trigger, and a storm of bullets poured down on the position, weighing us down. Seeing our embarrassed appearance, the German soldiers, who were originally lying on the ground, shouted and got up, and rushed forward with their guns in hand.

"Boom!" A shell whizzed over our heads and hit the armored vehicle impartially. The armored car was suddenly engulfed in flames and smoke, and the flying sheln caused the surrounding soldiers to scream again and again.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be stunned, the skills of this German tankman were too bad, and he actually made a big show and knocked out his armored car! However, without the suppression of the opponent's fire, we were able to shoot up again, and press the charging soldiers back to the ground.

"Boom, boom!" Three more shells landed in the ranks of the Germans and exploded, lifting several soldiers lying on the ground high and falling back to the ground with a heavy blow.

"Comrade Division Commander!" Ramis's surprised voice came from beside him: "Look, it's our own people, it's our own tank!" ”
