On the north side of the village, next to a high hill, Colonel Kuba jumped off his horse and walked to the top of the high ground, holding up his binoculars to look at the village.

Through the binoculars, Colonel Kuba had a clear view of the village, which was more than 1,500 meters in front of him, and the terrain around it was very undulating and generally flat. There was also no large area of woods nearby where ambushes could be ambushed, and the road ran from north to south through the middle of the village of Warang, splitting it in half.

There was an infantry trench on each side of the road north of the village, and from the length of the trench Colonel Kuba judged that the strength of the trench was about two companies.

After observing the terrain around the village for a while, two Polish soldiers, scouts of the bicycle platoon of Colonel Kuba's reconnaissance company, pedaled their bicycles to the bottom of the high ground.

Throwing down their bikes, two soldiers sweated profusely and climbed onto the high ground, and after saluting Colonel Kuba, one soldier pulled out two blank pieces of paper from his right waist bag.

On the white paper is a map drawn by the reconnaissance company of the German troops in the village of Warang, on which Colonel Kuba saw that the Germans had built circular fortifications on the east and west sides of the village, and according to the marks of the reconnaissance company, the defenders in the circular fortifications on the east and west sides of the village of Valang each had a company.

Colonel Kuba looked at the defense map and calculated in his heart that there were already four companies of troops deployed on the outskirts of the village, and there should be at least one company of reserves in the village. There were three infantry battalions under his command, three infantry companies and a heavy machine gun company in each battalion, plus the regimental anti-tank company and reconnaissance company, a total of fourteen companies, in addition to his own infantry artillery platoon.

Picking up the binoculars and looking at them for a while, Colonel Kuba smiled, and he found that the German fortifications in the village of Valan were very poorly built, and there was not even a barbed wire, which strengthened his determination to attack the village of Valan.

Recruiting three battalion commanders, Colonel Kuba began to assign tasks.

Colonel Kuba decided to make a feint from the north of the village with a battalion of troops to attract the attention of the Germans in those two companies; In addition, two companies of troops made a feint to the west of the village, attracting the attention of the Germans to the west of the village.

The main direction of attack was placed by Colonel Kuba to the east of the village, and to the east of the village of Warang there was a large meadow with waist-high green grass and colorful wildflowers that stretched like a carpet to about fifty meters from the village, and these grasses provided cover for the attacking troops, where Colonel Kuba devoted a whole battalion, which was also reinforced by nine 37-mm anti-aircraft guns of the anti-tank company and two 75-mm infantry guns of the infantry artillery company.

Colonel Kuba left two infantry companies and a reconnaissance company as reserves, and after assigning the mission, the three battalion commanders each led their troops into action.

More than an hour later, the last herald ran to Colonel Kuba's side and informed him that Colonel Kuba's troops were in place, Colonel Kuba raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and at 2:54, after the second hand ticked again, Colonel Kuba waved his hand, and two gunshots rang out, and two green flares flew into the sky, announcing the beginning of a killing.

・・・・・The mournful whistle sounded, and the infantrymen of the 40 Infantry Regiment began to charge with rifles led by officers and non-commissioned officers.

In the basement of a small gray building on the east side of the village, Chen Dao and eight paratroopers squatted inside to avoid possible shelling, Chen Dao clenched the sweaty Mauser 98K rifle in his hand, and felt the excited beating of the muscles in his arm.

Touching the Luger pistol in the holster on his right waist, Chen Dao felt a little more secure.

Thanks to the loose gun management system in the United States in the previous life, Chen Dao is no stranger to guns, but this kind of familiarity does not include the Mauser 98K, an old-fashioned bolt-action rifle, under the teaching of the paratroopers, Chen Dao quickly learned the use of 98K, and after a few test shots, Chen Dao concluded that the rate of fire is very slow, far less than the bandit special gun AK47.

98K reload speed is also outrageously slow, the only thing that makes him feel relieved is that 98K's distance ** degree is far better than AK47, although the resentment of 98K is greater than appreciation, as a thin-skinned bandit, Chen Dao is embarrassed to snatch the MP38 submachine gun in other people's hands to use, so he had to reluctantly the Mauser 98K.

In order to be safe, Chen Dao deliberately brought a Luger pistol to deal with possible melee combat.

There was silence in the basement, and everyone did not wait for the imaginary heavy artillery bombardment, only the sparse explosion of mortar-shell-shell-shell.

"Major, the offensive of the Poles began, they had no heavy artillery, there were about a battalion of troops in the east and north, and there were fewer enemies in the west." A paratrooper ran into the basement and said.

The paratroopers stationed observation posts on the bell tower of a small chapel, the tallest building in the village, and almost every movement of the Polish troops was under the watchful eye of the paratroopers.

Hearing this, Chen Dao picked up the steel helmet beside him and buckled it on his head, got up and said, "Let's go." ”

After Chen Dao finished speaking, he walked out of the basement with his gun, followed by eight paratroopers, who were the bodyguards sent by Studen to protect Chen Dao's safety.

On the first floor of the small building, Chen Dao leaned behind the wall next to a window, and when he looked out with half of his face, he saw that on the grass outside, four or five hundred black dots were densely rushing towards the village.

Mortar-shell-artillery shells fired by the paratroopers landed in the middle of the Polish army from time to time, creating miniature mushroom clouds, along with which the stumps and severed arms of the Poles rose.

Undeterred by the sparse mortar-shelling, the brave Polish infantry, clenched to their rifles, bent over, took small steps, and followed the officers firmly towards the village in the face of German mortar-artillery bombardment.

Chen Dao leaned against the wall and squinted out, calculating the distance of the Poles, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters・・・・・・

Chen Dao pulled the bolt of the gun with a "click" to load the bullet, adjusted the ruler, and then picked up the rifle and aimed at a Polish soldier in a green-brown uniform.

As if he had a heart-to-heart with Chen Dao, Chen Dao had just aimed at the Polish soldier when the commander of the paratrooper company on the east side of the village gave the order to open fire.

More than a dozen MG34 machine guns opened fire one after another, and the Polish soldiers in the charge crackled and fell down, Chen Dao did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and the Polish soldiers fell to the ground in response.

Pulling the bolt and pushing the bullet to load, Chen Dao aimed at a Polish soldier who was half-crouching in the grass and shooting at the Germans, after the gun rang out, the Polish soldier's head was raised sharply, and the steel helmet was thrown into the air.

After Chen Dao shot the Polish soldier in the head, he ran to the second floor with his gun, and the window on the left side of the second floor was already occupied by an MG34 machine gun crew.

The field of view on the second floor is much wider than that on the first floor, Chen Dao fired three shots in a row, and killed two Polish soldiers, hiding behind the wall, Chen Dao felt out a five-round magazine and loaded it into the rifle, pulled the bolt to push the bullet to load, Chen Dao stood by the window and was about to start the second round of shooting, there was a loud "boom" in his ears, a 75 mm shell smashed into the window on the left side of Chen Dao, and the three machine gunners who were shooting were blown to pieces on the spot, and blood and internal organs stained the room red.

Chen Dao was swept over by the air wave of the explosion, slammed into the wall and then slid to the ground, and the 98k rifle also flew away.

Chen Dao shook his head with his back against the wall, trying to dispel the buzzing in his ears, but to no avail, two figures appeared in front of Chen Dao, two paratroopers who had just rushed in.

The two paratroopers didn't say a word, one dragged Chen Dao out of the room by one of Chen Dao's arms, and one of the paratroopers didn't forget to pick up Chen Dao's rifle, and the two paratroopers just dragged Chen Dao out of the room, and with a bang, the second 75-mm shell smashed into the room.

Dragged Chen Dao to the courtyard behind the building, the two put down Chen Dao, and a paratrooper came over and said, "Major, are you okay?" ”

Chen Dao had come to his senses at this time, picked up the rifle again and said, "I'm fine, thank you." ”

"Major, I suggest you don't get too close to the machine gun, which is the enemy's key target, so it's dangerous." The paratrooper persuaded.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll take note." Chen Dao said modestly.

"I'm fine, you come with me." Chen Dao stood up and shouted.

With two paratroopers, Chen Dao rushed to an 81mm mortar group, Chen Dao took off the binoculars on his chest and stuffed it to the gun commander, pointed to the east of the village and shouted: "There are enemy artillery in the east of the village, you have to find a way to find them, and then kill them, otherwise our brothers in the east of the village will be killed by those cannons, hurry up, we don't have much time." ”

Without saying a word, the gunner hung the telescope around his neck, looked around, and then quickly climbed a plane tree, lay on the plane tree and looked east with the telescope for a while, and then reported a coordinate, and the mortar crew immediately adjusted the parameters and began a new round of shelling.
