Chapter 44: The Bloody Battle at the Bridgehead

"One heavy machine gun company and one for the second company, two for the light machine gun battalion, two for each of you, pistols are issued to officers of all ranks in the army, and the rifles are put away and distributed to Mazur's troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Koval rang the bell and said: "The bullets of these weapons are not common to us, remember that the bullets should also be separated."

TO THE EAST WE CAPTURED ONE OF THE ENEMY'S 76MM GUNS, AND YOU SENT SOMEONE TO PULL IT OVER. Alright, Locke, you leave a platoon here to guard the prisoners, take care of the wounded, and clean up the battlefield, while the rest of the men take these weapons and follow me to the south to support. ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander." Several officers received their own tasks, and each led the soldiers away.

Koval and Locke led their troops to pick up their collected weapons and quickly headed south.

On the Neris Bridge, a group of Soviet soldiers charged forward frantically along the bridge, the guns rang out constantly, and rifle bullets flew across the river.

On the south bank of the river, at the window, a heavy machine gun sprayed bullets at the bridgehead on the north bank, as if to tear everything apart.

As soon as the Soviet soldiers rushed a few steps to the bridge, the MG-08 heavy machine guns on the north bank of the "da-da-da" rang out frantically, and the bullets often did not stop until they passed through the bodies of three or four people in the charging crowd.

The corpses lying here and there on the bridge also blocked the speed of the Soviet soldiers' charge.

Various firing points on the south bank were constantly firing at the machine gun fortress on the north bank, suppressing the heavy machine guns inside.

Bullets rained down on the machine-gun fort on the north shore, but fortunately Parker had built the fort with stone and wood, as he had learned, leaving only a small hole facing the bridge. Even the top of the fortress was built with wood in his hurry.

A bullet came through an unknown hole and hit the main shooter, and the machine gun stopped at once. The makeshift fortress was always a little thick and thin, and under the baptism of tens of thousands of bullets, the bullets of the enemy who were lucky enough to shoot in from the weak spots.

The enemy took advantage of the opportunity and quickly rushed forward more than ten meters. The assistant shooter next to him did not have time to look at the main shooter's injuries, so he immediately moved him out of the way, sat down and controlled the heavy machine gun to continue firing.

Several tall and strong Soviet soldiers in the charging crowd, taking advantage of the speed of the charge, took out the grenades on their waists, threw them around, and threw them at the machine-gun fortress at the bridgehead on the north bank.

"Grenades!" The non-commissioned officers of the Polish army on the north shore shouted, and the soldiers immediately lay on their stomachs with their heads in their hands. The main shooter in the fort saw several black grenades flying into the sky from the shooting hole, and immediately clenched the grip of both hands, pressed the button down with his thumb, and shot wildly.

The heavy machine gun is like the main T in the unit, it moves slowly, so it usually does not move after setting up a firing position, and its crazy fire will become the first target of the enemy to destroy. In short, this is a very risky position, and the choice is for strong and fearless soldiers.

", come on! Let's see if it's your grenades or Lao Tzu's machine guns, come on! "The heavy machine gun was constantly spraying bullets.

After three or four seconds, the grenade fell on the bridgehead position on the north bank, and several explosions were booming.

Several grenades landed on the machine-gun fort, and the explosion immediately collapsed the simple fort, and the soldiers inside fainted with blood on their faces.

The enemy soldiers rushed over the bridge deck and were already approaching the bridgehead, when a group of soldiers armed with MP-18 submachine guns rushed out of the rear position, and they lay on the ground and fired wildly at the bridgehead.

Grenades were also thrown at the exit of the bridge. The Soviet soldiers also tasted the power of the grenade, and at once they suffered heavy damage, and could only lie on the bridgehead and rely on the railings and the corpses of their comrades to maintain their positions.

"What about our cannons? And what about our artillery? The Soviet brigade commander angrily asked his subordinates: "My soldiers are bleeding at the front all the time, how long do you have to prepare?" ”

At this moment, a shell hit the position at the bridgehead on the north bank.

"Spread out, anti-shelling!" Parker shouted at the sight of the shell.

As soon as the words fell, a series of three shells accurately landed on the position on the north bank, and the troops defending the bridgehead were suddenly blown upside down.

Shells continued to fall on the positions near the bridgehead, and the defending three companies of troops stuck to their original positions, firing desperately, blocking the enemy's charge.

Without heavy machine guns, without hordes of submachine guns, Soviet soldiers broke through the blockade at the bridgehead and stepped onto positions on the north bank of the bridge.

Behind them, there was also a steady stream of Soviet soldiers・・・・・・

Koval heard the continuous sound of artillery and the horn of the charge coming from the bridgehead, and immediately understood that there was a big problem with the position to the south.

"You go tell Alex to let him give me the man to retreat a hundred meters back and retreat into the building!" Koval said to the herald.

"The rest of the soldiers arranged a semi-circular arc position with a radius of one hundred meters centered on the bridgehead! Rely on the shelter of the building to prevent enemy shelling!" Koval commanded: "Heavy machine guns stand by the walls of every street, light machine guns and submachine guns are flexibly supported!" ”

The enemy had the fire support of three cannons, and the bridgehead would definitely not be able to hold it, so instead of stubbornly resisting at the bridgehead, it was better to retreat back and drag the enemy into the street battle. In this way, the advantages of the Polish army's melee firepower (light machine guns, submachine guns) can be fully exploited.

Koval arranged a defense in the streets, and Alex, who was found in front, hurriedly asked, "Battalion commander, why did you call me back?" The position in front is lost, let me go and take it back! ”

"Now we have to abandon the bridgehead position, establish a defensive position on the spot, and put the enemy in to fight." Koval looked at Alex's well-developed limbs and said coldly, "Execute the order." ”

A grim look dispelled Alex's desire to continue.

Why is the battalion commander's eyes getting colder and colder, it's so scary! Alex thought to himself: Huh! I'll be afraid of him? I'm just obeying the commander's orders, yes, obeying orders.

Alex had a struggle inside himself to arrange his defenses.

Koval ran behind the line with a few officers, checking the positions and adjusting the position of the machine guns according to the height of the building, trying to prevent them from being hit by shells.

"Battalion commander, I failed." Parker retreated and said to Koval.

"It's not your fault. Take care of the wounded, regroup, cheer up, cheer up, we still have a battle to fight and we need your help. Koval looked at Parker, who was covered in dust and had a bandage on his right arm, and comforted.
