When Thun saw these figures, he turned his head and gently said to the people beside him: "Let everyone be ready to fight." Don't shoot randomly, see where they have the most people first, and wait until I shoot. With that, he picked up the radio and got in touch with John.

"Sir, they are coming. It doesn't seem to know that you've left and continued south. Thun said.

Hearing Thune say this, John sneered confidently and said, "Then give them a hard time." Keep them in your field of vision. We will soon arrive at the crossing point, and I will contact you when we cross the river. ”

"Understood!" Thun looked carefully at the other side of the river after answering, and after looking at it, he said, "When the attack begins, be sure to keep them here." They can't be allowed to move around. Especially moving south. We have plenty of ammunition, so shoot as hard as you can, all understood? ”

Just as Thun was ready, Sergei directed the Russians to slowly approach the river. By now he could see through the cracks in the trees the fires that flickered by the river as the cannonballs exploded. He knew he was about to reach the river. So he stopped again and looked to the shore on the north and south sides. After noticing nothing out of the ordinary, he turned his head to look at the man beside him: "Let the man with the flare move forward and go to the river." Arrange for some people to follow them and pay attention to protection. Also, let those idiots stop shelling, they're completely wasting shells. ”

After a while, about twenty or so people divided into two teams, one left and one right, slowly approached the river, and after walking about thirty or forty meters, Sergei stopped them. These people can't get too close to the river, although they are chasing at the moment, but they have to find out if there is anyone there, if there are no people crossing the river, they are so rashly taking people or sending people to the river is simply letting themselves and their subordinates be used as targets by others.

So Sergei, after stopping the two dozen people, signaled them to fire flares in the direction of the river, regardless of whether they could really see the scene by the river or not, and let them see if they fired a few shots first.

Of course, they had no problem with Sergei's order, although they could also feel that there should be no one there at the riverside at the moment, but no one went there, and the riverside was synonymous with danger for all of them at the moment.

So the person in charge of the flares immediately got ready, found a place with no shelter in the sky relatively above, and then three flares flew out towards the sky diagonally in front of them.

But just as the flare was in the sky, the people in the woods had just seen the scene in the woods in front of them. On the other side of the river, there was a sudden flash of fire, and at the same time a dense burst of gunfire rang out violently.

The first to suffer were the twenty or so people who came forward, and several of them fell down in the instant after the gunshots rang out. Many of them reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and ran back when they saw the flashing fire, but the next moment they were hit by the incoming bullets, and they fell into the woods in succession.

And Sergei in the rear, they are no less bad. When they were attacked, they didn't have time to fight back, so they had to lie down on their stomachs to dodge, and just watch as the people who were sent out were shot and fell. Although some people began to shoot after lying down, judging by the intensity of the fire on the opposite bank, the return fire here did not have any effect at all.

At the moment, some people were a little passive, some people seemed a little flustered, but Sergei did not panic and was calm. He immediately looked at the others around him, and the line was quite neat. Although a few people were injured, there was no confusion, and most of them looked like they were on standby. It's just that he doesn't have a good way to deal with these people who are shooting on the other side of the bank, these people are very fierce, and they don't stop at all, and there are always bullets flying into the woods behind them in the area half a person high above their heads. That is to say, he can't raise his head at all when he is beaten by the other party at the moment, and it is difficult to do anything meaningful except lying here.

At this moment, Semolov's voice came from the radio that Sergei had with him. When he heard the gunshots, Semolov thought it was the resistance of the people who were preparing to cross the river, but after carefully discerning the distance of the gunshots and judging from the few gunshots in the woods in front of him that the men he had sent into the woods were in trouble.

"Sergey! What's going on there guys?! Sergei! Semolov's mood was a little out of control at the moment, and he shouted so loudly that Sergei could hear how angry Semolov was at the moment from his voice on the radio.

Sergey was about to speak before Semolov could finish, but just as he spoke, a bright spot suddenly flew out from the opposite bank and flew across the river towards him in the blink of an eye.

"Rockets!" At the same time that Sergei shouted, others were shouting. However, these shouts did not serve any purpose other than to make people feel more helpless at the moment, and in the blink of an eye, the rockets flew into the woods and exploded after hitting a large tree in the woods.

The explosion instantly silenced the people hiding around the tree. At the same time, the violent explosion also quickly quieted down the few people who were resisting.

Sergei did not have time to pay attention to the situation around him at this moment, he immediately contacted Semolov: "We have been attacked!" There was no one by the river at all. The people who attacked us came from the other side! They're just waiting for us to take the bait. We are now suppressed here. ”

Hearing Sergei's reply, I already understood what Semolov was trying to convey before I finished listening. So he also didn't wait for Sergei to finish speaking before he spoke: "Counterattack!" Counterattack! What time are you wasting? Immediately go south, since they are not here, the only place they can go is south. Continue south! As he spoke, he looked at the mortars not far from him and said, "I'll continue to arrange the shelling immediately, you need to give them some guidance and tell them whether the landing point is accurate or not." ”

Hearing Semolov's words, Sergey immediately looked to the south. Although he felt that even if he chased it out now, it would probably be useless, but he had to try anyway. So he looked at the humanity of the 74th Division, which was on his right: "Shoot!" Shoot at the other side, don't just dodge, shoot! Shoot fast! ”

Before Sergei could finish speaking, the shells from the direction of the road went over their heads and landed again on the banks of the Ingre River and on their own side. Sergei looked at the place where the explosion had been blown up, turned his head to look at the GRU who was following him, and said: "Everyone immediately move south, leave their shooting range, move quickly!" After speaking, he picked up the radio and said loudly: "All the shells fell in the river and on the west bank, let them extend to the east, about 100 meters to the east." ”
