Shulka understood then why the Germans poured shells on the central fortress instead of the Kobrin fortress...... That odious instructor, who told the Germans about the whole plan, betrayed everyone.

Shulka guessed correctly, and the Germans urgently used two 600MM mortars.

Colonel Lucas couldn't help but praise when he heard this plan: "Who said that those Ivan don't know tactics and only know how to fight indiscriminately?" This is the perfect plan, if it weren't for the traitor whistleblowing among them, we would have managed to escape from our encirclement! ”

Colonel Lucas was right, he himself believed that the direction of the Soviet breakthrough was in the Northern Forest and the main forces were transferred to the corresponding positions, and now he knew that it was the news that the Soviets had deliberately released.

At this time, of course, Colonel Lucas would not continue this mistake, and he immediately ordered the artillery to bombard the possible positions of the Soviet troops, and then immediately sent reinforcements to the east.

This time the Soviet troops, who were assembling near the church, were in trouble.

The first is psychological.

If it was just an ordinary soldier who defected and surrendered, it would be nothing, after all, the Soviet army at this time was indeed in crisis...... Even if they were able to break through and get rid of Brest's pursuers as planned, an endless swamp awaited them ahead.

The Soviets knew the swamp, so they knew what they were about to face, and even if they walked through it, it didn't necessarily mean safety.

The problem lies in the fact that it is the instructor who rebels, and the instructor who always stands on the commanding heights and speaks the great truth, at every turn, will shoot the instructor who does not treat the soldiers as human beings on the charge of traitors and cowards...... At this time, he became a shameless traitor!

This was an extremely heavy psychological blow to the soldiers.

Perhaps with this in mind, Major Gavrilov was stunned for a moment and then denied: "No, this is an irresponsible rumor. You ......"

Major Gavrilov glanced around, then ordered in an unquestionable voice: "No one is allowed to talk nonsense without figuring it out, understand?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Major!"

"Yes!"

……

Major Gavrilov did the right thing, although it was unfair to many fighters, especially those who were shot or charged with crimes by their instructors...... Why did the soldiers draw conclusions or even shoot without careful verification, and the instructor's crime was "rumors".

But there is never fairness on the battlefield, there is only "right" and "wrong".

Okunev was indignant in his heart, he couldn't help but spit and said in a low voice: "I have an idea, Shulka, why don't we surrender to the Germans and then kill that guy?" ”

Shulka could understand Okunev's thoughts.

Compared with those enemies, what is more hateful are those who usually ride on the heads of soldiers to make a fortune but turn against them at critical times. It's going to make people crazy, and they're going to do whatever it takes to find him out, even if it's infamy.

But this is clearly not a wise choice.

"Don't be stupid, actor!" Shulka said, "Even if you do, they won't lock you up with the instructor!" ”

"Shall we let him live like this?" "Somewhere across the river, that guy may have been leisurely watching us fall under the guns of the Germans, bleeding and losing his life......," Okunev said.

"Don't worry, actor!" Shulka interrupted Okunev: "The Germans will not let him have a good time!" ”

Shulka said this because he knew that the Germans had a habit of shooting Soviet political workers.

Of course, at this time, the war had just broken out, and the instructor did not know this, otherwise he would not have chosen to surrender.

While they were talking, the first attacking troops were already carrying the rafts to the river bank in the night, and they put the rafts into the river, set up a machine gun and filled it with men, and rowed towards the opposite bank.

There are twenty-five rafts, each of which can carry ten people, and most of them can swim...... Most of the Soviet troops stationed in the Brest Fortress could swim, because the fortress was surrounded by rivers, and it became a habit to swim in the river for a while in their free time.

The 25 ships were divided into three parts, each with eight or nine ships, and they were spread out as far as possible to attack the opposite shore.

If the plan hadn't leaked, there was no doubt that the chances of success were quite high...... The first wave of the attack was 250 men against a platoon of German troops opposite, and it was a night attack, which was very likely to take the opposite position with a single charge.

The Soviets could then build fortifications on the opposite bank to defend against enemy reinforcements, while rafts carried the follow-up men across the shore in waves.

But now......

Not long after the raft was drawn, several flares suddenly came from the opposite side, and the whole surface of the river was illuminated by magnesium light as white as a mirror.

Then a dense stream of bullets and shells poured down from the darkness on the opposite side, and in an instant the Bug River became a mess, and the rain of bullets swept through the raft like a whirlwind, knocking down the Soviet soldiers on it one by one in a pool of blood and falling into the river, and one of the mortar hits was directly blown apart.

However, this is not bad, the Soviet attack is very open, although the German army on the opposite side has more than one platoon, but the firepower is still slightly weak, and if you can defend this side, you can't block that side, if you continue like this, the Soviet army still has a chance to attack the shore and break through.

But that hope was quickly dashed......

"Boom" two loud bangs, two "super shells" roared again.

This time, they were clearly corrected by German artillery observers...... To put it simply, the German soldier who knew how to calculate the trajectory was lying on his stomach on the opposite bank and observed with a telescope, calculated the location of the first shell explosion, and then quickly calculated the distance from the target, and then asked the artillery to correct it through a walkie-talkie.

As a result, the two shells hit quite accurately, one exploded just over a hundred meters from the church, and the violent concussion almost made Shulka vomit blood, and there was a "buzz" in his ears and then nothing could be heard.

The other shot hit the church accurately, and the cannonball easily penetrated the outer wall and smashed into the foundation of the church, and then exploded with a "boom".

This thing was designed for the Maginot Line, and a crater with a diameter of 15 meters and a depth of 5 meters was blown up during the initial test launch, and the explosion inside the church was even more powerful, and the glass windows were like bursting balloons into pieces, and then flew everywhere, and many people around were scratched by the broken glass that flew in.
