"The enemy is coming!" Okunev reminded: "Pick up your gun, Shulka, the instructor is staring at you, don't let him grab you anymore!" ”

Shulka looked in the direction of the instructor, and sure enough, he saw that he was looking at him viciously.

Shulka felt helpless for a while, and Shulka believed that apart from the Germans, the instructor wanted him to die the most.

Shulka helplessly picked up his rifle and cautiously raised his head to look into the smoke, and several figures came into view, then several, and then more and more and more soon joined into a large area.

"Hold on!" The instructor commanded loudly: "Listen to the order and shoot again, only the cowards will be frightened by them and their fingers tremble!" ”

This is obviously aimed at Shulka, and it seems that the instructor is really on the same page as him.

But Shulka doesn't care about that.

In this case, no one cares about this, because it is just a small matter of the mung bean compared to the current predicament...... As long as it is a normal person, you should know that at this time, you should unite and unite to the outside world, not against your own people.

However, this seems to be the job of the instructor, and the position of the Soviet army is to keep an eye on its own people.

Taking a deep breath, Shulka tried to slow down his heartbeat.

Then he observed and analyzed the situation on the battlefield with great emotion:

Ahead was an open field that was well suited for defense, and this should have been Gavrilov's chosen battlefield. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for the Germans to break through the defensive line organized by the Soviet troops from here.

Of course, this is only "in general".

At this time, the gap between the quality, strength, and equipment of the Soviet and German armies was too great...... Shulka knew something about this battle, the Battle of the Brest Fortress, in modern times.

When the Soviet-German war broke out, the German army was divided into three armies, the north, the center, and the south, and launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union in the form of "blitzkrieg" from three directions.

And the Brest Fortress was the starting point of Army Group Center.

That is, the Brest Fortress faced the most elite German troops.

And the Soviet troops stationed at the fortress ...... But it is the engineers, the communications troops, the guards, and so on. (Note: Every summer, the Soviet army pulls troops out of the fortress for routine camping training, and only the regimental headquarters and the detachments on duty are left in the fortress)

More importantly, Germany chose to attack on Sunday.

On this day, all the Soviet officers had a holiday, and they went to the city of Brest, dozens of miles away, to spend the weekend with their families.

So, it's pretty much enough to say: this is a hopeless battle, a battle that was doomed from the start, and history proves it.

The thought of this made Shulka feel angry.

But Shulka didn't dare to relax a little, because he knew that relaxation meant death.

"Hit!" With an order, gunshots rang out.

Shulka was startled by the sudden orders and gunfire, because at this time the enemy was still six hundred meters from the Soviet lines.

But it seems to be right...... If the optimal combat distance is 500 meters, then 600 meters will give your side more time to react.

It is clear that Major Gavrilov accepted Shulka's advice.

The only thing that falls short is ......

With a "bang", Shulka who pulled the trigger didn't know where his bullet flew, he didn't even know if he hit the target, he only saw someone fall in that direction, but Shulka wasn't sure if he hit it.

"Bang" another bullet flew out, still like this, the visibility in the smoke was too low, and there was only a vague figure.

But it didn't matter, Shulka knew that this time was more about the pressure of firepower on the enemy.

So Shulka let go, and he shot bullets out of the chamber one after the other as fast as he could, sometimes without even having time to aim.

The others were not much better, but the tactical success of the Soviet army played a role......

First of all, the Germans did not expect the Soviets to start fighting at this distance, and the formation was a little chaotic unexpectedly.

SECONDLY, AS SHULKA SAID, THE GERMAN 50MM MORTARS ATTACHED TO THE INFANTRY WERE COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE.

This is completely different from the last exploratory offensive of the German army: the Germans thought that they could suppress the Soviet fire with mortars and then win with a charge of hand grenades and submachine guns.

As a result, the light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the Soviet army frantically fired at the Germans, such as the Mark heavy machine gun and the Deg Galev light machine gun...... Bullets "rattle" down on the Germans.

More importantly, perhaps reminded by Shulka, Major Gavrilov also told the machine gunners to keep an eye on the German mortars.

As soon as a German soldier was seen setting up a mortar, several machine guns would shoot pellets at the position until they were beaten into a sieve.

For a time, the German army was crushed at a distance of about 500 meters and could not advance, and groups of German soldiers who rushed forward fell in pools of blood.

"Call the Air Force!" Seeing this, Captain Rolf, who was commanding the German attack, hurriedly ordered the signal corps: "Let them not watch from the sky, and blow up the enemy's firepower with their hands!" ”

After a while, the communications corpsman responded: "Captain, the smoke is too loud for the Air Force to see the target!" ”

Captain Rolf couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that dropping gasoline barrels to blow up the enemy building would also bring this side effect.

"Captain!" Lieutenant Jonas suggested, "We may be able to separate a part of it from the left flank!" ”

Rolf looked at the map, shook his head, and said, "No, Lieutenant, we reconnoitred the left flank, they laid a lot of mines there, and we're not sure if there's anyone there!" ”

"So, what are we going to do?"

After thinking about it, Captain Rolf replied, "Retreat, lieutenant." We can wait! ”

"Wait?" Lieutenant Jonas looked at Rolf in bewilderment.

"Yes, wait!" Captain Rolf raised his head: "We have time. ”

So the Germans retreated again.

Captain Rolf was right, the Germans did have time, because the Brest Fortress was already surrounded by the Germans and could not pose a real threat to the Germans.

Not only that, but the main forces of the German Army Group Center were bypassing the Brest fortress and driving straight into the heart of the Soviet Union as planned, invincible all the way, while the Soviet army was crushed.

In other words, Brest, a fortress originally located on the border, has gradually become the rear of the German army, and the Soviet troops stationed here have become a lone army, and no one even knows that they are still alive and still fighting bloody battles in the fortress.

This means that there will be no reinforcements, no supplies, no ......

The Soviet troops stationed in the fortress did not yet know this.
