The surviving Soviet soldiers immediately extinguished the oil lamps in their hands, and in the meantime the Polish shooters shot several more Soviet soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The other side was plunged into darkness, and only the round moon in the sky was mercilessly sprinkling pale moonlight.

By the moonlight, Koval saw several vague shadows on the opposite bank, and was tiptoeing backwards.

It's you, Koval found a target, moved the muzzle of the gun slightly, aimed it at the target's chest, quickly pulled the trigger, and the target immediately threw himself on the ground, struggled twice and then remained motionless.

The rest of the Polish shooters also continued to shoot, hitting several more enemy troops. The surviving Soviet soldiers left and fled the riverbank and ran east.

"Sir Ivan, the Poles have ambushed many shooters on the opposite bank." The fleeing soldier reported to a Soviet officer who had arrived in a hurry.

Ivan continued to walk forward.

"Sir, you can't go forward, the shooting skills on the other side are very powerful." The soldier immediately persuaded.

Ivan stood behind a mound of dirt, holding a telescope and looking at the opposite shore carefully.

"Where is Poland? Why can't you see them? Ivan asked.

The soldier who had escaped by chance pointed to the other side of the river and said: "The Polish shooters are hiding on that riverbank, and more than 20 of our comrades were shot by them." ”

"How many of them are there?" Ivan continued to ask.

"There are at least a hundred of them!" The soldier swore an oath.

Ivan looked at the silent grass on the other side, frowned and thought: What do Poles do when they don't sleep at night? Do they want to cross the river here? No, if you want to cross the river, you will not shoot yourself to expose yourself, and it is not suitable to cross the river at night. There must be some conspiracy in this!

"Set up all the machine guns and fire the grass on the other side for me." Ivan commanded decisively.

"Yes, sir." His soldiers replied.

The Soviet soldiers quietly moved one of them to the firing position, and the other infantry also hid behind the rocks and sandbags with rifles, and pointed their guns at the west bank.

"Fire!"

At the sound of the order, six M1910 heavy machine guns fired at the west bank of the Gawa River almost simultaneously, and other infantry also held rifles and fired at the dark riverbank.

Koval lay on his stomach in his firing position, his eyes observing the situation on the other side through the gap left by the stones.

This sudden bullet fish really startled Koval, and he immediately fell close to the ground.

The sound of "da-・・・・・・da" gunfire continued, but most of the bullets hit the land far away from Kovar, and only a few bullets flew over Koval's head with a whistling sound.

"It turned out that we didn't find our specific location, they were just shooting at random." Koval breathed a sigh of relief.

Koval held a telescope and observed the situation on the other side from the firing port, and the flames of countless guns flickered like fireworks. The bodies of the surrounding Soviet soldiers were very clear in the light of the muzzle flames.

First, second, and third・・・・・・ Koval remembered the position of the enemy troops, pulled the bolt back, and slowly extended the M1908 Mauser rifle from the reserved firing port and aimed it at a heavy machine-gun position.

Under the bright muzzle flame of the heavy machine gun, a Soviet archer was shooting excitedly, the torso of his body was obscured by the shield the size of the pot lid of the M1910 heavy machine gun, only his head was exposed, and a pair of eyes were looking at this side intently. Next to the shooter was a secondary shooter holding a bullet chain, and his body was exposed from the chest up.

Koval aimed the muzzle of the gun at the head of the main shooter, held his breath, quickly pulled the trigger, pulled the bolt back, moved the muzzle slightly, aimed at the secondary shooter next to him, decisively pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the target's chest.

After the two shots, Koval immediately lay down and slowly crawled backwards.

"There, the enemy is there! I saw the flames of his gun! The Soviet soldier next to the heavy machine gun shouted loudly.

The Soviet soldiers, also realizing that their two machine gunners had been killed, immediately shifted their guns and, by feeling, fired wildly at the point where the muzzle flame was exposed when Koval fired.

"Da ・・・・・・" was a bullet from a 12.7mm heavy machine gun that hit a small pile of rocks that Koval hastily built, sending rubble flying.

Bang bang, at this moment the bullet from Mosin Nagant rifle hit the ground next to it.

Koval ducked behind the mound and slowly moved to a nearby firing position.

A wild shot.

"Did we hit him?" A Soviet soldier asked his comrade next to him.

"yes, of course, with such a dense bullet, he has been torn to shreds by ours." The comrade-in-arms affirmed: "You see, there is no more muzzle flame in that position." ”

Just as Koval fired, the rest of the ambushed shooters also found their targets and opened fire.

Suddenly, there were many fires on the west bank of the Gava River, but unlike the dense and continuous muzzle flames on the east bank, the fires on the west bank were scattered, separated by dozens of meters from each other, and they were often fleeting, never appearing in one place.

"Kill them! Kill them! Ivan stood behind the fortifications and shouted loudly, and a bullet suddenly hit the fortifications in front of him, giving him a bad feeling.

"Ahh My neck! I'm hurt! A Soviet soldier cried out for help, but the roar of a heavy machine gun drowned out the weak screams of the wounded soldier.

The wounded Soviet soldier screamed a few times, the blood on his neck continued to flow, and he passed out on his side.

Because it was dark, no one knew the casualties of the enemy and the enemy, and the soldiers were very excited to shoot.

By the time an M1910 heavy machine gun had been replaced by six shooters, an officer finally noticed that something was wrong.

"Sir, the enemy forces on the other side seem to be all sharpshooters with special training. Not only are they accurate marksmanship, but they are also very cunning, and they change positions when they shoot a shot. Our soldiers simply could not see where they were at night, and it was even more difficult to hit them. A junior officer ran back and reported.

"!" Commander Ivan took a closer look, and the muzzle fire on the opposite bank was still unhurriedly fleeting, and the soldiers on his side fell one by one in the shadows behind the fortifications.

Ivan frowned and said helplessly: "Turn off the lights and stop shooting." Keep an eye on the surface of the river and don't let the enemy sneak across it. Tell me the casualties later. ”

"Yes, sir." The officer breathed a sigh of relief and replied decisively. (To be continued.) )
