Xiao Mubai stared at the German army opposite, and the three squad leaders were taking care of their more than ten soldiers.

The position was on the farmland outside the small town of Astrovy, next to the German-Polish border. The area is flat farmland, which is suitable for armoured troops. Although the arrangement of barbed wire and trenches played a part of the hindrance role, the German tanks and armored vehicles still ran over all the way, only delaying the infantry attack.

Successive gunshots rang out over the tranquil land, and soldiers on both sides were constantly falling. The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the entire position, and the morning fog dissipated early.

The German tanks aimed at the heavy machine gun positions of the Polish army, and Xiao Mubai noticed that before he could be reminded, a shell came over.

"Boom!"

The heavy machine gun turned into a scattered pile of scrap metal, the main shooter's body was torn apart, and blood was sprayed everywhere. The secondary shooter fell to the ground, half buried in the earth.

"!" Xiao Mubai was furious, and the two squad leaders quickly made adjustments and hid the remaining two heavy machine guns more secretly.

"Watch out for tank guns!"

Xiao Mubai was very anxious, the German tanks and armored vehicles attacked unscrupulously, but the Polish army had no means of countermeasures. This reminded him of the 128th Songhu Anti-Japanese War, where the 19th Route Army relied on cluster bombs and human lives to defeat the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

The best weapons against tanks are tank destroyers, and rocket launchers on helicopter gunships, if there are none, only anti-tank guns, but the Polish army is only equipped with very few anti-tank guns.

Xiao Mubai noticed this problem, and when he was anxious, suddenly the Polish army opened fire on the position, which was the anti-tank gun equipped.

"Boom!"

Large-caliber shells were fired from the barrel and aimed at the tank on which the Germans were marching.

This tank was a German Type II tank, weighing about 20 tons and armed with a 20 mm gun.

The anti-tank gun was 70 mm caliber, and the anti-tank shell hit the German tank, and unexpectedly, the German tank was just shocked and stopped, and then dejectedly began to move.

The armored car next to it aimed at the Polish anti-tank gun position, and the vehicle-mounted machine gun continued to spew out tongues of fire, pouring towards the Polish soldiers, and they were pressed for a while and could not raise their heads.

At this time, the German tank batteries moved, aimed in the direction of the Polish anti-tank guns, and fired large-caliber tank shells.

"Boom!"

The shells fell on the position, and Xiao Mubai watched as several Polish soldiers were thrown out by the air wave and fell heavily to the ground, the anti-tank gun was blown into scattered parts, and the barrel fell to the ground crookedly.

The Germans were less than 300 meters from their positions, and under the assault of tanks and armored vehicles, the German infantry continued to break through.

Xiao Mubai hesitated, whether to let the soldiers take some explosives bags and make a suicidal charge to blow up the German tanks.

At this time, the positions of the Polish troops suddenly opened fire. An anti-tank shell, like a detached bow and arrow, was fired at the German tank.

"Boom!"

The good fortune of this German tank seemed to come to an end, it shook for a moment, and then suddenly burst into flames, and the flames instantly engulfed the integrated tank.

The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but stare at the tank, as if they were shocked by this scene. The Polish army can be said to be surprised, and the German army seems to be sad.

The tank lay on its stomach and burst into flames, and none of the people inside came out, and it seemed that they were all dead.

The battle damage of the German tanks made the Polish soldiers cheer and their morale was greatly boosted.

Xiao Mubai was holding a telescope to observe the deployment of the German army, and the German offensive was obviously stagnant, and there was a short vacancy. Xiao Mubai immediately ordered a counterattack, and the three heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, and forty rifles of the whole platoon fired at the Germans.

The movement of Xiao Mubai's platoon attracted the attention of the soldiers of the other two platoons, and they all opened fire one after another, and the bullets rained down on the German soldiers.

Xiao Mubai, based on William Cole's combat experience, thought that the German army would retreat for a short time, and then adjust to attack again. Unexpectedly, after a short pause, the German armored vehicles took the lead in starting a counterattack to stop further suppression.

"Poof!"

The bullets hit the sandbags, and the Polish soldiers were caught off guard and suffered some losses. A soldier was shot in the head, blood splattered out, and his head tilted and fell. Another soldier was shot in the neck, and blood burst out, staining his neck red.

"Medic!" The teammates next to him yelled and shouted.

The paramedics rushed out from a corner, glanced at the Polish soldier lying on the ground, and then shook his head with a regretful face, and said: "The bullet hit the veins, the blood can't stop, there is no hemostat, he is hopeless!"

Because the distance is not far, Xiao Mubai can see it clearly. But he did not have time to care, because the German countermeasures began again.

Xiao Mubai realized at this time that the defeat of the tank just now did not seem to have any effect, but only boosted morale, a German vehicle-mounted machine gun was knocked out, and the threat of the Polish heavy machine gun being hit by the German tank artillery was removed, but the firepower of the German army did not seem to have decreased at all.

Two vehicle-mounted machine guns fired bullets with impunity, flanked by the German MP38 submachine gun, and the MG34 general-purpose machine gun.

The last anti-tank gun of the Polish army remained, and after the shell was fired, it was watched by the Germans.

It would be nice if he could knock out two more armored vehicles, Xiao Mubai was thinking about it when suddenly bad news came.

The Polish anti-tank gunners suffered heavy losses, there were no more gunners, which meant that the anti-tank guns could no longer be used.

Xiao Mubai's mood was very heavy when he heard this, the distance was decreasing step by step, and the German army was approaching step by step. The German armored vehicles pressed over the barbed wire, climbed over the ditch, and ran over the Polish army step by step.

There was no means of countermeasures, and the company commander Mokvi ordered a gradual retreat, with the first platoon covering, and the second and third platoons withdrawing to the small town of Astrovy with weapons and equipment.

In positional warfare, the Polish army was almost completely defeated, and in the absence of anti-tank weapons, it was completely unable to resist the attack of the army's armored forces.

Mokvi's idea was very good, and the street fighting in Yastrovi had a better chance of survival in the street fighting of the Polish army, which lacked heavy weapons, than positional warfare.

Xiao Mubai asked people to count the number of people and found that it was only this casualty. Three people were killed and five wounded, two of whom were seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness. The battle losses were about to reach one-sixth, and if there was another one-sixth, the company would lose its combat effectiveness.

The engagement was fought in a time of gradual retreat. The town of Astrovy was ten kilometers in a straight line from the border, and the Polish army's position was three kilometers from the border, seven kilometers from the town, and it took an hour to march in a straight line.

At this time, this pure infantry company of the Polish army suffered a loss, and the soldiers could only retreat with two feet. Armored vehicles are very fast, and if there is no platoon to block the attack, they will soon break through the division and encirclement, which is often the most dangerous at this time.

The second platoon set up an ambush on the way to the town to replace the one platoon, which had suffered heavy losses. Mokwi's order was for the three platoons to set up an ambush at the entrance of the town, and Xiao Mubai ordered the whole platoon to find cover and establish an ambush defense line to prepare for battle.

Xiao Mubai observed the nearby houses and lanes in order to make the best deployment.

There were still residents of the town, who seemed to have no intention of evacuating, and all looked at the Polish soldiers with puzzled eyes. Xiao Mubai did not receive orders from the residents concerned, so he ignored them and began to make combat deployments.

Beckoning the three squad leaders to come over, Xiao Mubai pointed to a few streets and houses, and said to the squad leaders next to him: "Look here, this way, this side, the Germans came from the road, first come here, and then the No. 1 fire point opened fire to attract the attention of the German army, and this is the responsibility of the squad leader Joseph."

Joseph nodded, and Xiao Mubai said to the leader of the second squad: "The task of the second squad is to enter the houses, and then aim at the Germans in the windows on both sides."

"The third squad made an ambush in this roadway, took advantage of the fact that the Germans were attracted by the No. 1 fire point, and then launched an attack."

"The order of the battle is that the first squad shoots to attract fire, then the second squad shoots at the street window, and then the third squad shoots to cover the retreat of the first and second squads."

"My request to you, the first shift must persevere, the second and third shifts must keep an eye on the opportunity to open fire, and all the people must retreat quickly."

"Yes!"

A street battle broke out at the entrance of the town.
