Chen Dao took Major Lorenz to room 302 next door and found the chief and co-pilots of the armored car, Grigory and Pike.

The two were holding Luger pistols and MP40 submachine guns, standing at the window and shooting downstairs, and from time to time Soviet bullets entered the window and hit the walls and ceilings.

"Follow me, leave those Russians alone, hurry up." Chen Dao stood at the door and shouted to the two.

The two of them heard Chen Dao's voice and hurriedly ran to the door of the room to meet Chen Dao.

Chen Dao took the lead, and the four of them ran out of the hotel building and went straight to the parking lot, almost all the rooms they passed along the way were filled with continuous gunshots, mixed with shouts, and the air in the corridor was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the entire hotel building had become the front line.

The four men ran out of the hotel, hoping all the way, carefully checking the streets, and then one dashed across the street, heading for the armored car across the road.

Chen Dao and Major Lorenz jumped into the rear compartment, the MG-42 machine gun that swooped into the front of the car, Gregory and Pike got into the cab, the armored car started quickly, the engine roared, and Chen Dao also felt the familiar vibration from the body.

Under the command of Chen Dao, the armored car reversed all the way and retreated along the road to the north of the city, away from the direction of the battlefield.

It wasn't until the gunfire was far away that Chen Dao was relieved and bold enough to make the armored car turn around and turn around and drive towards the west of Krupki City.

At this time, the city of Krupki was already in chaos, the streets were full of various vehicles and running soldiers in a panic, and Chen Dao even watched twelve Wasp self-propelled howitzers turn around and drive north.

Chen Dao gave an order, and the armored car rushed to the front of the self-propelled artillery column and crossed in front of the convoy to block the way.

Chen Dao jumped out of the car and found the commander of this howitzer battalion, an artillery captain.

Two minutes later, the captain ordered the convoy to turn around. Following behind Chen Dao's armored car.

Along the way, through radio contact, Chen Dao soon found Lieutenant General Hui Biqi in the northwest of the city, and the Soviet attack was launched from the south of the city, and the northwest was unharmed.

After some deliberation between the two, Lieutenant General Hui Biqi transferred a platoon from the guard company to reinforce Chen Dao to protect the safety of the self-propelled guns.

Chen Dao took the lead and rushed to the front of the convoy. Led the convoy to the grass on the outskirts of the western part of the city.

Pointing to the fire shining in the forest south of the city, Chen Dao shouted into the radio: "Captain Hettner, do you see the fire in the forest south of the city?" Have your men fire a salvo at the place where the fire is shining. ”

Captain Hettner and his men faithfully and quickly carried out Chen Dao's orders, and the twelve Wasp self-propelled howitzers were turned around, facing the south of the city.

The artillery observation post quickly set up scissor binoculars and rangefinders on the grass, and the firing parameters were communicated to the gunners of the twelve Wasp self-propelled guns.

The muzzle of the 105-mm howitzer was raised high, and the loaders stuffed the shells into the chamber.

With Captain Hetner's shout, twelve self-propelled guns opened fire at the same time, and a loud sound of shaking immediately resounded in the meadow.

The flames of the howitzer swarm lit up the night sky, and Chen Dao even felt the air wave from the muzzle of the cannon hit him.

A few seconds later, in Chen Dao's telescope, more than a dozen huge fires erupted one after another from the artillery positions of the Soviet army in the forest.

Depending on the location of the shell explosion, the artillery observation post called out the new parameters, and the gunners hurriedly corrected the muzzle pointing according to the new parameters, and then fired a five-round rapid fire on the orders of Captain Hertner.

The huge roar shook Chen Dao's ears, but his expression was extremely excited.

There is a famous saying in the military. When fighting, the louder the sound of which side artillery fires. The higher the morale of the soldier when fighting.

This sentence was verified by Chen Dao, and after five rounds of rapid fire, Chen Dao shouted to Captain Hetner: "Take your people, immediately change positions, and be careful of enemy artillery countermeasures." ”

After Chen Dao finished speaking, he jumped into the armored car and took the lead in driving towards the north of the city.

At this time. In the forest, the fire of the artillery on the Soviet artillery position completely disappeared, and was replaced by a little forest fire.

Captain Hettner and his men apparently succeeded in taking out the enemy artillery hiding in the forest, and apparently caused a small forest fire.

In the darkness, an armored convoy approached from the north along a dirt road and joined him over the radio in Chen Dao's car.

This unit is the reconnaissance battalion of the motorized rifle division of the Guard Banner. As the vanguard of the Motorized Rifle Division of the Guards Banner, they marched closely behind the artillery regiments and supply convoys of the 9th Panzer Division.

During the night camp, the camp was stationed in the town of Maslinka, two kilometres north of the city of Krupki.

As soon as the Soviets launched an attack on the city of Krupki, the reconnaissance battalion was aware of it and immediately reported the situation to the division headquarters.

Because of Chen Dao's presence, Lieutenant General Dietrich immediately ordered the reconnaissance battalion to be ready for battle, and contacted Chen Dao by radio to confirm Chen Dao's safety and inform Chen Dao that the reconnaissance battalion was ready to support the battle in the city of Krupki if needed.

Knowing that there was such a new force near the battlefield, Chen Dao would certainly not let it go, and he then asked for the contact information of the reconnaissance battalion and agreed to meet in the west of Krupki.

After greeting Chen Dao, Chen Dao pointed to the battle-torn city of Krupki and explained his battle plan, and the convoy of the reconnaissance battalion immediately marched south along the grassland west of the city.

The convoy reached the southwestern corner of the city, and several SDKFZ250 light armored vehicles loaded with mortars in the reconnaissance battalion convoy opened fire one after another, firing rounds of flares into the air.

The convoy then accelerated to the field south of the city, and in the wilderness under the flares, the figures of the Soviet soldiers were exposed, and the MG42 machine guns and 20mm machine guns swept across the battlefield, and the Soviet soldiers were killed and flesh flying.

The armored convoy of the reconnaissance battalion threw a beautiful right hook and cut into the middle of the city of Krupki and the forest to the south, cutting off the retreat of the Soviet troops in the city.

Chen Dao's armored car was mixed in the convoy of the reconnaissance battalion, and Chen Dao and Major Lorenz stood in the compartment, two STG42 assault rifles fired at the enemy at the edge of the forest one after another, leaving corpses in their wake.

The scouts of the two companies jumped out of the armored car and rushed into the forest after the armored car, while Chen Dao followed the other companies to make a U-turn and rush towards the city of Krupki. Flank the Soviet infantry from behind.

Seeing the Soviet soldiers running around like headless flies in the town, Chen Dao's eyes were full of hatred.

This is already the second time that the rout of the Soviet army has launched such a surprise attack, once in Borisov and once here, and they must be taught a hard lesson.

Seeing that there were friendly troops outside to help the battle, the German troops inside the city also launched a counterattack in time. The Soviets inside the city lost the courage to attack, turned around and scurried, looking for a way to escape.

Four or five Soviet infantry had just escaped from the city when they were confronted by the armored vehicle in which Chen Dao was riding.

The MG42 machine gun at the front of the car made a strange snorting sound, and in this sound of tearing the tarpaulin, two Soviet infantrymen were swept in two by the dense bullets, and one soldier was not even dead, and his arms dragged his upper body to crawl on the ground, dragging a long trail of blood. Until it was run over the head by an armored vehicle.

Chen Dao put down the machine gun cartridge chain in his hand, picked up the SGT42 assault rifle on his back with his right hand, but did not fire, but grabbed the barrel close to the muzzle, and smashed it at a Soviet soldier.

The Soviet soldier had just dodged the impact of the armored vehicle sideways, but he did not escape Chen Dao's attack, and the butt of the assault rifle smashed firmly into the soldier's head.

The head tilted, and the steel helmet flew out. The Soviet soldier let out a long scream and fell to the ground.

Putting away the assault rifle, Chen Dao pressed the blood-stained butt against his right shoulder. A triple burst shot was fired at the back of the last Soviet soldier who fled frantically, and the soldier fell to the ground, convulsed a few times before stopping.

"Turn right and stop." Chen Dao waved his fist with his left hand, and the roof of the carport that was smashed made a clang.

The armored car sharply turned to the right. Stop under a pine tree that is more than two meters tall.

Chen Dao jumped out of the carriage and raised his hand to shoot a point in the leg of a Soviet soldier's "corpse" under the tree.

The corpse was lying face down on the ground motionless, but after being shot, it instantly revived, rolling and howling with its legs in its hands.

Chen Dao turned around and hit the Soviet soldier on the head with the butt of his assault rifle.

"You want to play dead and dare to play tricks in front of me?"

Chen Dao smashed the Soviet soldier with the butt of his rifle and crouched down. His right knee pressed against the soldier's waist and pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the throat.

Chen Dao wiped the dagger off the body of the Soviet soldier, turned around and jumped into the armored car, and shouted to the wheelhouse: "Go, enter the city, drive to a crowded place." ”

The driver faithfully carried out Chen Dao's orders and rushed into a residential area.

A group of more than a dozen Soviet infantry was fighting and retreating in the residential area, and was caught off guard by Chen Dao's armored vehicles.

Chen Dao and Major Lorenz leaned out, and the muzzles of two assault rifles spewed flames, mercilessly harvesting the lives of Soviet soldiers, and in an instant, seven or eight Soviet soldiers were thrown to the ground, and the rest of the soldiers scattered and fled.

Armored vehicles rampage through residential areas, crashing into each other, chasing down fleeing Soviet troops to their heart's content.

Chen Daozheng was full of energy, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure and a puff of white smoke out of the corner of his eye.

Five or six meters away, a Soviet soldier pulled a grenade and saw that it was about to be thrown at him.

Driven by fear, Chen Dao raised his gun and swept it, and the soldier lay on the ground holding his stomach, but he still threw a grenade before being shot.

The grenade dragged white smoke and drew a parabola in the air and landed on the top of Chen Dao's head.

Chen Dao instantly felt the hairs on his body stand up, and subconsciously reached out to grab the grenade, but he grabbed it empty.

"It's over," Chen Dao suddenly lost his thoughts.

said that he would not die young, but who knew that it would end like this again.

Chen Dao stood on the spot as if he had been immobilized, staring directly at the falling grenade.

In his eyes, the grenade fell at an incomparably slow, but unstoppable rate.

At the last moment, a pair of big hands pressed Chen Dao's shoulders.

It was Major Lorenz, who pressed Chen Dao's shoulders with both hands to borrow strength, his eyes widened, his head tilted back, and he jerked forward.

There was a crisp sound, and the steel helmet on Major Lorenz's head slammed into the grenade, and a beautiful "header" knocked the grenade flying.

Major Lorenz had just pulled Chen Dao to squat in the carriage when he heard the explosion of a grenade outside the carriage.

"It's good that I'm playing good football, otherwise we'd all be finished."

Major Lorenz clutched his chest and said with a palpitation.

Chen Dao's face was also full of fear.

"I owe you once, and when we get home, I'll repay you." Chen Dao said.

"Your Excellency, what we should really thank is my father, he is a striker for Bayern Munich, he became a football coach after retiring, he forced me to practice since I was a child, and this is why I have developed a good game." Speaking of his father, Major Lorenz's face was full of nostalgia.

"I'll be grateful to him." Chen Dao stood up as he spoke, looking out of the armored car.

The battle was nearing its end by this time, and the armored vehicles were lined with German soldiers chasing the enemy.

"Your Excellency, it's time for us to go back." Major Lorenz was obviously frightened by the thrilling scene just now, and he didn't want to or dare to put Chen Dao in danger again.

"The more anxious I get, the more these damn Soviets mess with me. This night attack will certainly slow down our march, and our plan to reach Orsha tomorrow may be aborted, and I would like to kill them all with my own hands. Chen Dao said resentfully.

"Let's go back to General Huibiqi and ask him what he thinks." Major Lorenz persuaded.

Chen Dao looked at the battlefield behind him, reluctantly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and commanded the armored car to turn around and leave.

When Chen Dao found Lieutenant General Hui Biqi again, he was surprised to see that there were two other Soviet officers in his temporary headquarters, one a major and the other a lieutenant.

After some interrogation, Chen Dao's nose was almost crooked.

"The Forty-Seven Infantry Corps is this unit again, and it is they who are besieging us in the city of Ruotino." Chen Dao said.

"It seems that this is their usual tactic, sparing the more combat-ready combat units in favor of attacking the weaker artillery and logistics convoys, although we are the enemy, but I have to say that their commanders are really talented. It's annoying, but his tactics really cause us a lot of trouble. Lieutenant General Hui Biqi said.

Chen Dao looked at the Soviet major with a blue nose and swollen face, and suddenly asked, "Has your front commander Zhukov recently issued any new orders to your army?" Is it just for you to attack us along the way, to slow down our march to Orsha? ”

The Soviet Major saw that Chen Dao's eyes were full of anger, and there was a murderous aura that made him shudder, and the gun oil and blood splashing on his face added a bit of hideousness to Chen Dao.

He didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "The person who directly commanded our army is the newly arrived deputy commander of the Front, General Yeremenko. He is in charge of the defense of the Orsha region, and you will soon meet him in Orsha. ”

Yeremenko?

Chen Dao carefully searched his memories and found that he had no impression of this surname.

Since he can be Zhukov's deputy, he should have some strength, and it is necessary for him to pay attention to it, so as not to capsize in the gutter. (To be continued.) )
