In fact, more phone lines are not cut, but ripped off.

The telephone line could be answered, and in order to prevent the telephone line from being reused by the Germans, the Soviet soldiers usually pulled the end of the telephone line and pulled it hard...... Naturally, the communications troops on the German side were unwilling to be dragged away by the enemy in this way, and the two sides competed with each other, and soon the sound of "horn" was disconnected.

Sometimes the battlefield is so magical, with the enemy and the enemy close and unable to see each other, but there is a tug-of-war over the telephone line.

However, the Germans did not rest on their laurels, and after a short rest, they soon launched a new offensive.

Blood, death, corpses...... The brutality of war pervades every corner of Mamayev Hills.

The Germans used smoke grenades extensively in the ensuing charge.

This was the right choice, in this particular battle, that is, in the battle in which the Germans occupied the positive slope and the Soviets occupied the anti-slope, it was a situation in which the enemy was in the dark and we were in the dark, and from the moment they rushed to the top of the hill, they would expose themselves to the enemy's sight and gun, and then they would be killed one by one like targets.

The Soviets, on the other hand, hid in bunkers, behind rocks, and even in pillboxes.

Smoke grenades may make it difficult for you to see clearly, but at least they can change this disadvantage as much as possible, making it difficult for both sides to find the target.

The result was hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, one after another.

The entire battlefield was white, like a thick fog, and nothing could be seen even though it was daytime.

All that could be detected was the faint sound of footsteps in the "thick fog" and the murmur of German equipment bumping against each other.

"Free Fire!" Shulka ordered.

At this time any command is inaccurate, since it is impossible to judge the location of the enemy.

However, Shulka raised his gun and fired into the smoke, which was soon followed by a scream.

This scene surprised Vasily, who was lurking nearby.

Since the Germans used smoke grenades, the sniper company had to move from a distance to anti-slope positions...... Snipers don't have a keen eye, and the only way they can do this is to shorten the distance.

To Vasily's surprise, he didn't see the target in the smoke at all when Shulka fired the shot, and there was still nothing in the white expanse.

Is it a coincidence?

Shulka casually fired a shot that hit just right?

But soon Vasily found out that this was not the case.

As Shulka pulled the trigger again, a muffled grunt came from the smoke again.

This made Vasily angry, and he, who had always been very confident in his sniping skills, found that he couldn't grasp it at all.

If it was an accident or unfair condition to meet the "breakthrough hero" on the battlefield under his command before he was defeated, then now Vasily is a real loser.

It is not difficult to imagine that if Vasily and Shulka were in a hostile position, and Shulka found him and Vasily did not see anything, then the one who died, of course, was Vasily.

After observing for a while, it was only when Shulka fired the third shot that Vasily understood...... Due to the strong winds at the top of the mountain and the presence of people, there will be some slight changes in the smoke.

For example, if the smoke flows abnormally in a certain location, it is because someone is blocking the wind or running and jumping in it.

Thinking of this, Vasily also raised his gun and aimed it at the position of the smoke change.

After hesitating, Vasily advanced the crosshair a little more.

Because he realized that the smoke change was lagging, after the person had leaped forward, that is, when he saw it, the target had already run over the position.

Then the trigger was pulled, and there was a "bang", and a scream came from the smoke.

"Hit!" Vasily cheered in his heart.

Then Vasily threw an admiring look in Shulka's direction.

Vasily knew that this was not just a contest, but at least a point that the "breakout hero" was better than his own observation and analytical skills, and that was the decisive factor in the master matchup.

Shulka certainly didn't know that, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Because by this time the Germans had already rushed up with a shout, under the cover of several mortar shells.

The reason for "a few rounds" was due to the fact that in this case the Germans did not dare to shoot too many mortars.

On the side of the anticline, it was the Germans who occupied the high and the Soviets who occupied the low.

After the mortar shell exploded, the shrapnel flew upwards in a radiant form, that is...... If the Germans used mortars to cover a large area when charging downward, then these shells would often cause more casualties to the Germans.

But the Germans still used "a few shots".

These "few shots" were actually the psychological tactics of the German army before the charge...... A few shells rang out behind the Soviet troops, on the one hand, to divert the attention of the Soviet troops, and on the other hand, to make the Soviet troops think that this might be a test launch, thinking that there would be a large-scale bombardment next, so they habitually hid in the trenches.

Taking advantage of this time, the German infantry launched a charge.

Shulka knew about this trick played by the Germans, so after the cannon sounded, he shouted: "Comrades, kill them, rush!" ”

At this time, in fact, some Soviet soldiers had already been fooled, thinking that the Germans would not charge for the time being.

Therefore, Shulka's order came in time, and they had developed a habit of obeying the orders of their superiors during training, especially Shulka's orders.

Shulka's reputation as a "breakout hero" is one of the reasons, and on the other hand, it depends on the trust of Major Mikhailvich.

Major Mikhailvich once said to his subordinates during training: "I admire most of all those who dare to disobey the orders of the deputy commander, because even I have to obey his orders!" ”

Thus, at the moment of Shulka's shouting, the Soviet soldiers jumped out of the trenches almost reflexively and rushed into the smoke.

In just a few seconds, the enemy and the enemy were strangled together.

Rifle butts, stones, fists, and even teeth became lethal weapons, and a brutal and primitive hand-to-hand combat unfolded in the smoke.

Pavelkov, who was observing from the rear, could not see anything, because the position was full of smoke, the white smoke of smoke grenades and the black smoke of burning waste tires, plus shells and dust, all mixed together made it look like a veil.

But Pavelkov could still feel the fierceness of the battle from the faint shouts and screams of killing.

After a long silence, Pavelkov put down his binoculars and asked Lermontov beside him: "Are you sure they are the 82nd Infantry Regiment?" That alert force? ”

Lieutenant Lermontov was speechless, because he also had doubts about it.
