Chapter 220: The Winning Blow (5)
"So what do you say? When they come to the rescue, the troops of Fort Dina will be surrounded! Another regiment commander said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"We just need to firmly contain them, we don't have to fight with them, it's really not worth it!" Commander Ivan explained.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The Soviet troops gradually dispersed, firing from their stomachs three to five hundred meters in front of the Polish positions, not in a frantic charge.
The Soviet infantry rushing out of Dina Fort rushed to the 3rd Artillery Regiment, seeing that the precious artillery was about to fall into the hands of the enemy.
There was a rumbling roar of machinery, and eleven tanks lined up, separated by thirty or fifty meters from each other, rushed head-on towards the Soviet troops.
37mm shells and 8mm machine-gun rounds swept through the ranks of the Soviet troops, knocking them out in droves. Hundreds of infantrymen following behind fired from the cover of the tanks, either crouching or lying on their stomachs.
"Ulla!" A Soviet officer picked up a bunch of grenades and rushed quickly towards the tank.
The Polish infantry on either side of the tank immediately turned their guns, and a dozen rounds knocked him to the ground at the same time.
"The tanks are coming! That's great! Seeing the tank, General Himigvi shouted with joy: "Immediately order the retreating troops to form a battle formation on both sides of the tank, and if there are soldiers and officers who continue to retreat, shoot them on the spot!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The officer replied, running as fast as he could.
The mountains of Soviet soldiers became the ghosts of the tanks and guns.
"Don't go up there, jump into the trenches!" The Soviet officer ordered.
Suddenly all the Soviet soldiers were crammed into the narrow trenches, and the pace of their advance was greatly reduced.
"Hold on! Hold on! If there is any retreat, shoot on the spot! The Polish officer, brandishing his pistol, shouted: "The Soviets on the opposite side are not as numerous as us, and it is the bitch who has fled!" ”
"Ulla!" The Soviet soldiers threw two grenades at them, and one after the other rushed into the trench.
"Hold on! Hold on! ”
This time, the Polish troops did not turn around and ran, and all stood in their positions and engaged in a fierce battle with the Soviet soldiers.
The Soviet troops gathered into several fists and struck several points in the long trenches of the Polish army, which was about to be lost as more and more Soviet soldiers rushed towards them.
Dadada・・・・・・
Dense machine-gun bullets hit one of the intersections of the trenches, and one after another the Soviet soldiers were knocked out by the sudden bullets, and the Soviet soldiers behind had to retreat.
The Polish soldiers in the trenches took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and wiped out all the Soviet soldiers trapped in this section of the trenches.
Standing on the high outer wall of Dina Fort, Commander Cronin saw the sudden appearance of the Polish army's tank troops, which suddenly interrupted the counterattack momentum of the charging troops, and patted the brick wall and said regretfully: "The tanks are really not coming at the right time, give us another ten minutes, and we will be able to hit their artillery positions." ”
"Artillerymen, can you take out the enemy's tanks?" Commander Cronin asked unwillingly.
"Sir, the enemy's tanks are too far away from us, two or three kilometers. And they are still in motion, and it will be difficult for our howitzers to hit them. The artillery commander said with his head bowed.
"You guys, get on both sides of the tank, and if anyone takes a step back, shoot them on the spot!" The Polish officer, commanding a group of routs, stood on either side of the tank and said viciously.
"I really can't run away this time!" A shrunken Polish soldier said in frustration as he walked.
"Look, this Iron King is really powerful! Bullets can't penetrate it! A Polish soldier was surprised to see a rifle bullet flying off the tank's armor and exclaimed, "With this guy, we should be safe." ”
This time the tank units learned the lesson of the last fiasco and kept firing while driving at a distance of more than 100 meters from the Soviet assault units, always maintaining a distance of two kilometers from Fort Dina.
Captain Dufort pointed the 37mm tank gun at the trench, and as soon as the shell was fired, several corpses flew out of the trench.
Some Soviet soldiers, unwilling to be restrained, rose from their trenches and were immediately hit by the dense density of rifles on the ground.
Division Commander Cronin looked at the advance of the Soviet charging troops for five minutes without pushing a step forward, and had already understood the limit of the troops, waved his right fist and said decisively: "Retreat!" ”
"Commander, try again! You might be able to take it in a few minutes! An officer said expectantly.
"Needless to say, retreat immediately." Division Commander Cronin said resolutely: "The fighter plane has been lost, so we can't continue to fight." The tanks of the Poles were on flat ground during the day, and we had no way to deal with them. ”
"Yes, sir." The officer replied.
As the horn of retreat sounded in Dina Fort, the Soviet troops, who were entangled with the Polish troops in the trenches, gradually retreated back.
"Captain Dufour! Soviet troops retreated! A Polish officer slapped the armor of a Renault tank and shouted inside: "Shall we continue to chase!" ”
The Renault tank has a narrow field of view, and the crew can only see a small area in front of them.
When Captain Dufoure heard the news, he was stunned for a moment and replied, "Forget it, this time we have fought hard enough. Attacking forward, these infantry around him are also unreliable. It is better to be careful of the trickery of the Soviet troops. ”
The Polish infantry in the trenches breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Soviet soldiers retreating one by one.
"! I didn't expect to survive today! A Polish soldier, covered in blood, immediately collapsed on the wall of the trench behind him and said weakly.
"Ahh Yes! Medic! Medic! A Polish soldier shouted as he pressed his thigh.
"Moro was killed, stop screaming." An officer limped over and said casually, "Here's someone, carry him back." ”
The Polish troops were too busy cleaning up the mess on the positions to pursue, and the Soviet troops broke away without incident.
General Himigvi looked at the backs of the Soviet soldiers and decisively ordered: "Immediately order the heavy artillery detachment to open fire on the enemy troops outside Dina Fort!" If you want to run, that's that easy! ”
"Yes, sir!" The officer said excitedly.
Division Commander Cronin stood on the outer wall and watched the victorious return of the Soviet soldiers. Some soldiers were carrying captured Mauser rifles, some were wearing Polish overcoats, and some had binoculars around their necks.
