Chapter 2 Distance
With a bang, a bloody arrow shot out of the German soldier and he fell to the ground.
This made Xiao Yuan a little surprised, because he didn't expect that his shot could hit the target at all, he just wanted to shoot to drive the shooting of the Soviet army.
Therefore, when Xiao Yuan watched the fallen German army cast resentful glances in his direction, a chill arose from the bottom of his heart.
"He's not going to die!" Xiao Yuan thought to himself: "I killed someone!" ”
This idea is ridiculous, because killing people on the battlefield is the right thing to do, and Xiao Yuan is worried and regretting it.
However, Xiao Yuan's intention was ......
Xiao Yuan was not the only one who clenched his fingers and pulled the trigger, and as soon as the gunfire rang out, it was like an order to open fire, and in an instant, the entire defense line "banged" chaotically, and then the machine guns also rang out, and the dense bullets poured down like raindrops towards the advancing German troops, knocking down more than ten German soldiers who rushed to the forefront in a pool of blood on the spot.
THE BATTLE ENTERED THE WHITE-HOT AT THAT MOMENT, JUST AS XIAO YUAN THOUGHT, THE GERMAN 50MM MORTARS QUICKLY PLAYED AN EFFECT, AND ONE SHELL AFTER ANOTHER WHISTLED IN, AND EACH ROUND OF SHELLS EXPLODED TO BLOW UP A SOVIET FIRING POINT.
And at this time, the Soviet officer was still shouting: "Fuck, who shot it!" ”
Xiao Yuan didn't have time to worry about this, all he did was load the rifle again and again like everyone else, and then shoot at the target.
There was a "bang" of gunshots, and a German soldier fell.
The bullet hit the German soldier exactly in the leg...... The reason why he used "just right" was because Xiao Yuan aimed at his body, perhaps because a piece of mud that fell from the sky before the shot flew to the muzzle of the gun and caused it to sink slightly, so it hit the leg.
The German soldier rolled to the ground with his wound in his arms and wailed like a pig, but was soon killed by bullets fired by others.
"Bang" was another gunshot, and another German fell.
This shot was fired by Xiao Yuan in a hurry, because the German soldier rushed into a distance of 50 meters from the gap in fire, and he was pulling a grenade to throw it at the trench where Xiao Yuan was...... As long as it was half a second late, the smoke-emitting grenade would be thrown next to Xiao Yuan and blow him up into the sky.
But Xiao Yuan didn't have the heart to think about this, because he knew that this kind of life or death situation could be seen everywhere on the battlefield, as long as he relaxed a little, the one who died would be himself.
The trigger was pulled, and the gun did not go off.
After making a loading motion and pulling the trigger, the gun still didn't go off.
Then Xiao Yuan realized that there were no bullets in the gun, and he hid back in the trench to load, but because his hands were trembling, he couldn't pretend at all, and the falling bullets spilled all over the ground.
Fortunately, by this time the German soldiers had already retreated...... This was only a tentative attack, as the Germans often did, first finding out the enemy's firepower and deployment, and then formulating a targeted attack plan.
Of course, a tentative attack can turn into a strong attack at any time if you can.
The sound of the gunfire gradually weakened, and Xiao Yuan collapsed in the trench like a deflated ball.
Cheers erupted all around, and Soviet soldiers celebrated their success in repelling the enemy and holding the line.
However, at this moment, the instructor shouted angrily: "Who fired the first shot?" Who fired the first shot! ”
No one answered, but a few soldiers nearby turned their eyes to Xiao Yuan...... The sound of gunfire came from Xiao Yuan's location.
Unable to hide it, Xiao Yuan replied: "It's me, Comrade Instructor!" ”
"Fuck it!" The instructor walked up in a few steps and grabbed Xiao Yuan's collar, his eyes full of contempt: "It's you again, Shulka, you coward!" ”
Shulka?
Oh yes, Xiao Yuan should be called Shulka here!
"Do you know what you've done?" The instructor glared at Shulka and scolded viciously, "If it weren't for you, we could have eliminated more enemies, or even wiped them all out!" ”
"No, Comrade Instructor!" Shulka replied: "I don't think that's true! ”
"Shut up, you bastard!" The instructor roared, "What do you think? Who allows you to have your own ideas?! ”
The Soviet army in this period was indeed like what the instructor said, it was not allowed to have its own ideas, and all the soldiers had to do was obey orders.
But of course, Shulka didn't know this.
"Take him down!" The instructor angrily ordered: "Let this coward carry ammunition or do something, I don't want to see this guy continue to cause trouble here!" ”
"Wait, Altu!" At this moment, from the other side of the trench came an officer with a catly waist, looking at the rank of major, with a tall figure and a handsome face, but a faint scar on his forehead showed that he was an officer with combat experience.
This gave Shulka some peace of mind, because only officers with combat experience could understand his words, otherwise it would be playing the harp to the cow...... Perhaps, this is also the reason why the major stopped the instructor.
The Major sat down on the mound beside Shulka and asked, "What do you mean by saying that this is not the case?" ”
"Comrade Major!" The instructor rushed to report: "That's just an excuse he made for his cowardice, I saw him hiding in the trench with his rifle thrown aside!" ”
The major did not respond to the instructor, but simply raised his head at Shulkayan, giving him the right to speak.
"Comrade Major!" Shulka replied: "The answer is simple, I don't think we should fight in close quarters with the Germans in this situation!" ”
The surrounding warriors couldn't help but laugh, the instructor had a bit of disdain and smugness on his face, and the bearded man glared at Shulka angrily and shook his head slightly.
At this time, the Red Army placed more emphasis on spirit and courage, and under the guidance of this ideology, combat was usually a charge and close combat, which was why the German army had just been put closer to fight, but Shulka said that this should not be done......
Only the major did not smile, and he asked with a serious face: "Why?" Do you think that our marksmanship is more accurate than that of the enemy? Or do you think we have an advantage in firepower? ”
"No, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied: "Our marksmanship is not as accurate as that of the enemy, and our firepower is also not superior......"
"And you still think we can't be close combat?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded: "Because the Germans will have a greater advantage in close combat!" THEY HAVE 50MM MORTARS AND ARE ARMED WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF MP38 AND MP40 SUBMACHINE GUNS, WHILE WE ONLY HAVE A SMALL NUMBER OF PPD SUBMACHINE GUNS, WHICH PUTS US AT AN ABSOLUTE DISADVANTAGE WITHIN 300 METERS! ”
"You seem to have forgotten that we have mortars too!" The instructor sarcastically said.
AS HE SPOKE, THE INSTRUCTOR ALSO TOOK A MORTAR FROM HIS SIDE AND RAISED IT AT SHULKAYAN, WHICH WAS A 37MM LIGHT MORTAR, WITH A TOTAL WEIGHT OF ONLY THREE CATTIES, AND THE BASE COULD BE USED AS A SHOVEL IF THE BASE WAS STRAIGHTENED, AND IT WAS VERY COMMON IN THE SOVIET ARMY.
"Its maximum range is only 250 meters, comrade instructor!" Shulka replied: "I think the Germans will know this." So, they are happy to fight us at a distance of 200 to 300 meters! ”
