Chapter Eighty-One: Rush to the Rescue

Of course, Chen Ming couldn't go by himself, and it was useless for him to run over by himself.

In order to defend this gate, Chen Ming brought twenty team members with automatic weapons, and for the remaining combat power of the current team, twenty people is already a lot of strength.

But for the attacking Germans, twenty people was just a drop in the bucket.

With these twenty players drawn from the defense line, the group went straight to the direction of the Terespol Gate.

Far away, Chen Ming heard fierce gunshots, and the dense gunshots were connected like popping beans, and they couldn't tell each other.

However, it is clear from the sound of gunfire that one side is strong and the other is weak, and it is clear that one side is at an absolute disadvantage.

"Comrade Major, I think we need to hurry! I think Lieutenant they won't last long! The second lieutenant who had come to deliver the message was a little anxious, and it was clear that the situation was more severe than what he had reported before.

"Are we just going to fight? That's pointless! Chen Ming did not rush forward in a hurry, but ordered the team to stop temporarily.

"Comrade Major!" The second lieutenant obviously couldn't quite understand Chen Ming's approach, and shouted in an anxious tone: "We can't watch our comrades fight like this!" ”

"No, no, second lieutenant, what we want is to crush the Germans in one fell swoop, and not to spend a little bit on this senseless defense like adding fuel! Wait patiently, I'll go see the situation! Chen Ming dissuaded the second lieutenant and asked everyone to wait for a while, and he touched the line of fire alone.

Of course, Chen Ming could not go up directly, he bypassed the battlefield from the side of the Terespil gate, and observed the exchange of fire between the two sides from behind a pile of rubble.

The Soviet troops still had about 20 men, while the attacking Germans were only about 100 men.

The Soviet army occupies the favorable terrain of defense, although the number is small, but it can hold out for a while, and it is not the number of people who restricts their combat effectiveness.

After carefully seeing the situation, Chen Ming quietly retreated to the team: "Let's go over from the side..." He pointed in a direction, which was the same direction he had observed the firefight before.

"Ensign, you go and tell Lieutenant Potapov that we will attack from that direction, let them cooperate with us, and strive to crush the Germans in one fell swoop, we need to solve this problem once and for all!" Chen Ming looked at the second lieutenant and gave him an order.

"Yes, Comrade Major! I will convey the order to Lieutenant Potapov! The second lieutenant saluted and headed for the defensive position of the Terespil gate.

"Let's go too! Try to launch an attack as soon as possible, in case the Germans come with reinforcements, then we will be out of luck! After saying that, he ran to the position he had scouted before.

The road was not easy to walk, although it was only a few hundred meters away, but the previous German fire cover covered the distance of several hundred meters with ruins and rubble.

Collapsed warehouses, barracks, and health clinics, as well as the occasional detonation of munitions crushed under the rubble from somewhere, make the journey uncertain and dangerous.

Their goal was the diagonal rear of the German offensive positions, where it was possible to cut off the German offensive and block the German retreat.

Chen Ming sometimes really admires his luck, such a natural blocking position composed of rubble and rubble, he can touch it, it is like being blessed.

Commanding twenty people to enter the position and opening a line of fire of about thirty meters, Chen Ming went to find a condescending sniper point.

It has a great view, but there is no concealment to speak of, and it is not so much a good sniper position as a command post with a good view.

They were about forty meters away from the German positions, a distance that would allow for maximum firepower, and when everything was ready, the attack began with a single shot and a German machine gun firing silently.

The Germans were visibly panicked for a while, but their excellent individual qualities allowed them to quickly stabilize the defensive line, and even if more than 20 people were killed in the first place, there was no sign of collapse.

Chen Ming, who watched all this from the sniper scope, couldn't help but admire the high quality of the German army in his heart, and suffered a blow in an instant and lost 20% of his troops, but the entire unit seemed to be in good order and showed no signs of collapse, which was really commendable.

However, this did not prevent him from delivering bullets to the target he was targeting, all the junior officers and machine gunners were his sniper targets, and in this case, if the crisis at the Terespil gate was to be resolved, all efforts would have to be made to crush the Germans.

While shooting, he was also paying attention to the movements of the Soviet troops, these soldiers who had been guarding the gate for more than a day, they could clearly see their exhaustion, everyone's eyes were full of bloodshots, and there was a trace of fear and confusion about the war.

Maybe they didn't even think about being attacked by their allies.

Maybe they also laughed at Richard. Sorge, say he's an alarmist villain.

Maybe...

There are too many possibilities, but at this moment, all of them have turned into motivation to fight.

They may also be afraid of death, but they face death head-on, dozens of people, holding on to this gate that is destined to have no reinforcements, is their mission.

"Phew!"

One shot will be a hand that is preparing to throw. The grenade was killed by the Germans and had already pulled the fuse in hand. The grenade fell to the ground and exploded.

The violent explosion and countless fragments blasted his former master into the air and slammed it to the ground.

This was the eighth German soldier Chen Ming sniped, but the twenty people he brought also paid the price, and in just ten minutes of the exchange of fire, four people were seriously injured.

It was such a unit that was reduced by two percent by the sneak attack that it actually completed the reorganization of the ranks in a short period of time and stubbornly counterattacked.

The Soviet soldiers are still resisting strongly, in the face of such elite German soldiers, Chen Ming does not know how the Soviets did it, but he knows that these tenacious Soviets will continue to do it.

Chen Ming's choice of ambush site was perfect, and after half an hour of fighting, this German squad of more than 100 people was routed.

They scattered and retreated, but Chen Ming, who had planned to catch up and be annihilated, gave up this plan.

He was confident that he would completely crush the German squad, but that would come at an unimaginable cost.

The Soviet troops did not pursue either, they remained on the defensive front of the gate, and did not even fire another shot at the retreating Germans in front of them.

Chen Ming led the members of the team to the gate where the Soviet soldiers converged, and it was not until he saw these soldiers that Chen Ming knew what they had experienced.

There were no more than fifteen Soviet soldiers still active in the entire defensive position, almost all of them were wounded, the lightly wounded were still fighting on the front line, and the seriously wounded could only lean on sandbags to press bullets for their comrades.

Each seriously wounded man had a grenade next to him. Bullet, Chen Ming knew what it was for, but he didn't tell the team members behind him.

He only assigned his team members to rescue the wounded on the battlefield.

A soldier who was not tall ran in front of Chen Ming and gave a standard military salute: "Comrade Major, I am the person in charge of this position, Lieutenant Potapov, thank you for the rescue!" ”

Chen Ming looked at the lieutenant who sent people out to ask for help, he had a beautiful beard, but now his face was covered with gunpowder smoke and dust, and his right arm was still bandaged, and there were traces of blood oozing out, which made the lieutenant look very embarrassed.

"Hello Comrade Lieutenant, thank you for leading the troops to hold here, I and my team members have great respect for you! But I would like to know what is going on here, if I remember correctly, Lieutenant Kirzhevatov of the border garrison should also be here! Chen Ming was not polite, but directly asked the question he was most eager to know.

"Lieutenant Kizhevatov is guarding the other side of the gate, the Germans have taken almost all of it, and we are under attack from all directions!" Lieutenant Potapov's tone was full of complaints and whining, but there was no fear of battle.

"So that means that they are still fighting?" Chen Ming asked uncertainly.

Potabodu looked back at the aisle that had been blown into ruins, and said uncertainly: "Sorry, Comrade Major, I don't know very well, the last time we contacted was two hours ago, and now, I think there should be a ceasefire on his side, and we can't hear the gunshots anymore!" ”

"Lieutenant, I think it's better for us to go and have a look, if that side is lost..."Chen Ming didn't continue, in fact, there was no need to say any more, if he lost behind him, the consequences would be unbearable for everyone here.

"Alright, Mr. Major, I'll take 5 people over and have a look!" Lieutenant Potapov was a little embarrassed, and he could not imagine what would happen if the Germans attacked again.

Chen Ming obviously knew what he was worried about, waved his hand, and said to the lieutenant: "You and your people are staying here, Terespil Fortress is still guarding us, send people to send the wounded over!" The people I brought with me will stay here too, and I'll go and see for myself! ”

Hearing Chen Ming say that he wanted to go by himself, Potapov was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Comrade Major, you can't take risks!" If I'm not mistaken, now in the Brest Fortress, you are the highest-ranking commander, if..."

Before Potapov could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Ming: "Lieutenant, I know what you mean, but you need to rest now..." Chen Ming pointed to the tired soldiers in the fortifications: "Maybe you still need some supplies and food, but you must stay here, and I, I'm a sniper, maybe my rank is the highest, but I'm not the most needed person on that position, understand?" Well, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, maybe it's not that bad! ”

Perhaps it was Chen Ming's words that persuaded Potapov, he did not continue to insist, but took a step back with a salute and said loudly: "Okay, Mr. Major, I hope you can be safe, my comrades and I will hold here!" ”

Chen Ming nodded, said a few words to his teammates, and turned his head towards the position on the other side of the gate.
