Another tank, a couple of German prisoners, plus a squad of soldiers in German uniforms...... While these uniforms make them look a bit like zombies, Shulka believes it's enough to fool the enemy.

After all, it's at night, and more importantly, they don't need to completely fool the enemy.

Just like now, it was detected by the Germans when it was more than thirty meters away from the enemy.

But this did not affect the outcome of the battle.

As soon as Captain Venyakov gave the order, the tank opened fire, and two shells "boomed" near the German lines, and then the machine guns on the tank "spewed" at the Germans.

While the tanks were suppressing fire, the Soviet soldiers invariably drew their grenades and threw them at the German positions...... Melee combat grenades are the most lethal weapons, especially rows of grenades, which explode in the enemy's trenches even if they do not kill or injure the enemy, they will be temporarily incapacitated by the impact of sound and shock waves.

This was the case at this time, and after a burst of explosions, the Soviet soldiers rushed forward with bayonets.

Shulka was at the front, it was a bad experience, he had never been to the front of the line, not even the bombing of the tank.

Because the bombed tank can at least lie on the ground and crawl forward under the cover of the corpse, but now it has to rush forward with the gun as fast as possible, there is no cover in front, as long as there is an enemy on the opposite side, raise the gun and gently pull the trigger, Shulka is finished...... Human life is sometimes so fragile.

Luckily, none of this happened.

When Shulka rushed into the trench with his rifle, the first person to face was a wounded officer, whose hat had been blown off, allowing Shulka to see that he was bleeding from his head and feeling something around his waist in a panic before he fully regained consciousness.

Shulka hesitated, then gritted his teeth and plunged the bayonet into the officer's chest.

Blood splattered, the officer screamed, and his whole body curled up like a shrimp and twitched.

Sometimes it's more difficult to kill an enemy who can't fight back than it is to kill an opponent who is evenly matched.

Difficulties come from the psyche:

If the opponent is equal, then you know that this fight is either you die or I live, and if you don't kill him, he will kill you, so you can do it with peace of mind and do your best, and you won't feel any guilt in your heart.

But it's a different story if it's an opponent who can't fight back...... While killing him, Shulka felt a chill in his heart, as if his humanity was escaping from his body little by little.

Shulka could only tell himself again and again that he was doing the right thing, that he was touching the pistol at his waist, and that if he didn't, he would kill his comrades.

The second opponent was a German soldier who was crawling on the ground as if trying to escape from the battlefield, not even having a rifle by his side.

When Shulka plunged the bayonet into his back, it was obvious that he felt a tremor from the pain.

Shulka did not dare to look more, and he continued to rush forward with his bayonet.

Soon, a third enemy appeared in front of him...... It was a German soldier who surrendered with his hands raised.

Shulka knew that he should kill him, because from the beginning he had been ordered: to leave no prisoners.

This order was correct, for they were surrounded by enemies, and the captives did no good except to cause chaos and danger to themselves.

But Shulka couldn't do it after all, and he chose to ignore the German and get past him.

Shulka could even feel the German's grateful gaze.

However, this was redundant, because in the next second, the thief who was following Shulka did not hesitate to plunge the bayonet into his neck.

The other Soviet soldiers who were hiding in the shadows also rushed forward shouting, and they crossed a battalion to get to the front and continue to advance...... This was also agreed before the war, and the main task of Shulka's first battalion was to break the first line of German defense, and then the second and third battalions would take over.

This was done because the soldiers of the first battalion were still wearing German uniforms, and if they continued to fight like this, it was easy to accidentally injure or even cause confusion. What's more, they have German-style equipment in their hands and ammunition recovered from corpses, and it is easy to run out of supplies if they continue to fight.

So Shulka had some time to rest...... Although the battle had only just begun, it seemed like a century had passed for Shulka.

But before he could catch his breath, the battalion commander Venyakov ordered: "Take off your military uniform and change back to your weapons!" ”

They wore two layers of uniforms, and they just had to take off the German uniforms outside.

On the other side, Major Müller, who was still waiting for the enemy to attack, also heard gunfire and explosions on the other side.

Just as he was puzzled, the adjutant who followed the phone reported to Müller, who was a few meters away, while holding the microphone: "Major, they have successfully broken through from the south!" ”

"What?" Major Müller was stunned for a moment, and then immediately jumped up from the trench: "Reinforcements to the south immediately, they don't want to escape from me!" ”

After a pause, Major Müller gave another order to the adjutant: "Inform the general and let him organize other troops to surround them!" ”

Major Müller was probably right, because the Soviets were still in their encirclement at this time...... Breaking through to the south was only a breakthrough, after which it was necessary to pass through the German lines to return to Soviet-controlled territory.

Therefore, as long as it is properly organized, the German army still has a chance, and it can even be said that it is easier, because the Soviet army has left the pillboxes it holds and has become a wandering army.

But Major Muller thought about the problem simply, and the Soviet army could get to this point, of course, there were follow-up plans.

"We can use mines to delay the pursuers behind us!" While working on the plan, Shulka asked: "Do we have mines?" ”

"Of course!" Major Gavrilov replied: "There are plenty of mines in the ammunition depot!" ”

Mines are necessary for the line of defense, and there are certainly quite a few of them on the "Stalin Line".

"The problem is that we don't have many mines!" Commissar Fumin said: "Because we don't have cars!" ”

"It doesn't take much!" Shulka said: "Just let them know that there are mines!" ”

Shulka was right when Major Müller's reinforcements stepped on several mines, including a tank that was blown up by anti-tanks, they found themselves unable to chase down...... Because they were not sure how many mines were buried underground, they were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the enemy if they continued to chase them like this, even if they suffered heavy casualties.
