Chapter 14: The Wine Bottle

The three German tanks were divided into three directions to cover the infantry attack, and at this time the tank on the right was blown up, and there was a gap, especially under the attack of the German army pressing step by step, the distance between the two armies was even less than 100 meters......

Major Gavrilov, of course, was not going to give up this opportunity, and with a wave of his pistol, he shouted with all his might: "Comrades, follow me!" Come on! ”

"Rush!" The Soviet soldiers jumped out of the trenches shouting and bayonet in hand, and the debris of Shulka and German tanks rushed towards the Germans like a tidal wave, and in a moment the soldiers of both sides became entangled in brutal hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, Shulka didn't want to join anymore, and the truth was not all because he didn't want to...... He felt that he did not have the strength or courage to get up from the ground.

However, it doesn't make much difference whether Shulka is in the war or not at this time.

Because the battle situation was decided, the German army, which had the advantage, did not expect that there would suddenly be a counter-charge, although this counter-charge only occurred on the right flank, but once the two armies entered hand-to-hand combat, it was difficult for the German heavy equipment to play a role.

This was especially the German tanks, whose flanks were quickly exposed to the Soviets who rushed into the German camp, and it was embarrassing that the German tanks were not yet able to counterattack...... When soldiers on both sides are mixed, machine guns and tank guns inevitably kill their own men as well as enemy soldiers.

As a result, the tank had to be left to the Soviet soldiers' approach, and then the explosives package was stuffed into its chassis to blow it up, and the other was even blown up by opening the hatch and throwing a grenade, along with the tank.

It didn't take long for the Germans to retreat like a tidal wave, leaving behind a pile of corpses, and some of them had no time to flee and surrendered to the Soviets with their hands raised.

"Shulka, Shulka!" Okunev stumbled to Shulka's position and knelt down, then raised his head and shouted without saying anything: "Hygienist, hygienist......"

"Okunev!" Shulka sat up with his arms folded.

This startled Okunev, he stared at Shulka with wide eyes and stunned, and after a long time he punched Shulka hard, laughing and saying, "You're not dead yet, lucky guy!" ”

"Of course!" Shulka replied: "However, if we do not return to the trenches, we may be close to death!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Shulka did not answer, turned around and ran in the direction of the trench with Okunev.

As soon as the two of them hid in the trench on the front foot, the shell on the back foot followed, which surprised Okunev again.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess, the Germans have done a good job in the coordination of arms, and their artillery will of course cover the retreat of the remnants of the army, and by the way, give the Soviet soldiers a little more power.

"You know what?" When the gunfire stopped, Okunev handed Shulka a cigarette...... Okunev rolled it with his own hands, and it was still stained with his saliva.

"What?" Shulka did not refuse.

Anyone who has enjoyed the smoke of the battlefield, life and death, and the severed limbs and intestines that have been ripped out of the stomach must be a madman if he still cares about saliva.

"I barely recognize you!" Okunev lit a match, lit Shulka a cigarette, and then lit himself: "You are not the same Shulka you used to be!" ”

Shulka didn't answer, he was a little weak-hearted, because he really wasn't.

"You seem to be able to guess what the danger will be!" Okunev had some incredible expression on his face: "For example, you were able to dodge the dive strafing of the plane, for example, you just knew that the Germans would open fire, and more importantly, you also blew up a tank...... God, dozens of us went up and sacrificed, and none of us succeeded, and you did it on your own......"

"It's with your bottle, Okunev!" Shulka said.

"Oh, really?" Okunev couldn't help laughing: "I also have credit for saying this!" ”

"Of course!" Shulka nodded very seriously: "You say...... How can I report your credit to them? 'Report instructor, the bottle I used was stolen from the officer's canteen by Okunev'! ”

"Oh, no!" Okunev patted his head in annoyance: "You better stop talking about it, otherwise they will send it to transport ammunition!" ”

Shulkahaha laughed, accidentally choking on the smoke, which caused a cough and tears.

"Comrade Shulka!" At this time, a messenger appeared in front of the two, and he even saluted Shulka.

This made Shulka curse in his heart, if there were German snipers staring at this side at this time, he would become the target of the other side.

"The Major told you to go to the headquarters!" said the correspondent.

This time everyone knew that it was a good thing, Okunev patted Shulka on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Remember, don't mention the wine bottle!" ”

Shulka responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Okunev, I won't tell the truth!" ”

Unlike before, the attitude of the soldiers on the way to the headquarters was completely different...... As Shulka passed by the Soviet soldiers, someone kept shouting:

"Well done, Shulka!"

"Well played!"

"We all saw it, you burned the enemy's tanks, brave act!"

……

What Shulka didn't know was that something was also happening at the command at this time.

When Major Gavrilov returned to the command, the instructor was firing at several deserters he had caught...... Shulka was right, this was a fortress, surrounded by German troops, and there was no way to escape except to surrender to the Germans.

"It's a shame!" The instructor waved his hand and shouted angrily: "It's an unprecedented stain, there can be scum like you in our army." Your behavior is even more intolerable than the traitor I was about to shoot......"

"He's not a traitor, Comrade Altu!" Major Gavrilov interrupted the instructor.

"What?" The instructor looked at Major Gavrilov suspiciously.

"Shulka, he's not a traitor!" Major Gavrilov replied: "He has proven it with courage!" ”

"You mean how many enemies he killed?" The instructor laughed: "No, that might just be his cover-up, Major!" You know, they're cunning......"

"No, Comrade Altu!" Major Gavrilov interrupted the instructor again: "He didn't just kill a couple of enemies, he blew up one of the enemy's tanks and allowed us to successfully launch a counter-charge." Otherwise, this place will probably have already been captured! Other words...... He saved us, all! ”

After a pause, Major Gavrilov added: "If he is a traitor, then I need such a traitor!" ”
