Chapter 201: Returning with a Feather

One of the Soviet soldiers flew and pounced, machine-gun bullets smashing his abdomen into a pile of rotten flesh. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but he pounced on the machine gun and blocked the muzzle of the machine gun.

The Polish officer struggled to remove his body, and the Soviet soldier who rushed behind stabbed him in the chest with a bayonet.

The machine gun was dumb at the bottom, and around it, the corpses of Soviet and Polish soldiers formed a circle of more than ten meters.

Just as the Polish position was in the midst of a fierce battle, the 1st Tank Regiment, which was hiding in the wheat field behind, was awakened by the sudden attack.

"The Soviets have attacked! All up! Captain Dufour shouted: "Get in the car, get ready for support!" ”

Above the positions in the rear, hearing the news of the night attack of the Soviet troops, the artillery regiment immediately fired several flares over the positions of the front.

A faint light finally lifted the veil of mystery in the darkness.

The scorching situation on the forward positions was astonishing, Soviet soldiers and Polish soldiers mixed together, you have me, I have you, soldiers on both sides engaged in white-knuckle combat with bayonets, sapper shovels, spears and other weapons, and on the periphery of the position, the Soviet infantry tightly surrounded and jumped into the trenches.

"Start the tank! Sweep away the enemy forces on the ground first. Captain Dufort ordered loudly, and then jumped into his tank.

Sixteen tanks started one after the other and drove towards the forward positions, firing at the Soviet soldiers around the positions with the machine guns on the tanks as they went.

The Soviet soldiers were not repulsed by the tanks, and they quickly jumped into the trenches at the front and fought the Polish soldiers face to face.

Captain Dufoure saw that in the forward position, Soviet and Polish soldiers were all intertwined, and the distance between them was so small that it was impossible to fire artillery.

"Watch out for accidental injuries, let's drive the tank forward!" Captain Dufour yelled outside.

The tank slowly moved forward, 800 meters, 500 meters・・・・・・

Eight Soviet 76mm guns were quietly parked two hundred meters outside the forward position, covered with cloth for camouflage.

"Sir, are you going to fire now?" The surrounding artillerymen looked at the rumbling tanks not far away and asked in a low voice.

"Don't rush, wait until they get closer! Now no one notices us. The artillery officer said excitedly.

Four hundred and fifty meters.

"Remove the camouflage, lower the muzzle, and aim directly at the target directly in front of you!"

Four hundred meters.

Captain Dufort was operating a 37mm tank gun to pick out those places where Soviet soldiers were densely populated to shoot. The muzzle flames made the sixteen tanks stand out.

"Fire!" The artillery officer yelled.

Boom boom・・・・・・ eight shells flew quickly towards their target.

The sound of artillery sounded, and Captain Dufort was suddenly shocked: this was not his own cannon, it was coming from the enemy's position, where were they going to fly?

A little more than a second later, a 76mm shell exploded five meters to the left of the Dufour tank, and the violent shock wave shook Captain Dufour, and the fragments of the shell hit the side armor plate of the tank with a creaking sound.

"! Damn, we're in ambush! Captain Dufour shouted, "Get back!" Go back! Fast! ”

At this moment, two loud explosions were heard on either side of Captain Dufour.

"Tank Five is finished! They hit it! ”

"Tank Seven is also finished! It was blown straight into parts! The infantry following behind shouted loudly.

"Get moving! Don't stop where you are, we're going back! Captain Dufort shouted.

The driver immediately started the tank and began to turn.

Captain Dufour, judging the position of the enemy artillery by the flash of the Soviet artillery's fire, controlled the 37mm guns on the turret to fire at it continuously. The infantry accompanying the tanks also set up machine guns and rifles to shoot at the place where the artillery had just been fired, covering the movement of the tank troops.

The tank turned slowly, and Captain Dufour only felt that every second was so long.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! He urged his driver.

Boom・・・・・・

Another shell landed on the position just now of the Dufort tank.

The tank finally made a circle with a radius of twenty meters, turned its head, and drove at full speed towards the wheat field.

"Be careful not to go in a straight line! Attention, we're being targeted by the artillery on the other side! Captain Dufort shouted.

"Yes, sir." The driver replied.

The other tanks also turned and retreated, shells exploding on the sides of the tanks.

"Aim, aim, hit again!" The Soviet artillery officer ordered.

As a result, another shell fell four or five meters behind the tank, and some shells either flew over the tank's head or fell on the mud in front of the tank's tracks.

"Sir, the tanks on the opposite side have turned, and they move as if they were shooting at a moving target, which is much more difficult! The speed of our shells is too slow! ”

A tank swerved in a panic, but the driver drove the tank into a large crater.

"Why doesn't the car move?" The driver on the turret asked anxiously.

"Looks like something is blocking it!" The driver replied.

"Look, that tank is standing still! Aim for it! "The Soviet artillery officer commanded.

The two guns quickly reoriented their muzzles and opened fire on the tank.

Boom, one shell hit the side of the tank, the other hit the target directly, and the Renault tank's armor more than ten millimeters thick was simply unable to resist the fire of the 76mm gun, and it was blown up and scattered in all directions.

The rest of the tanks retreated in a hurry, and the artillery of the Soviet artillery exploded around them.

The tank drove to the tank shelter in the wheat field, and the driver asked, "Sir, are you stopping here?" ”

"No, no! Keep moving! We're getting out of this damn place! Captain Dufoure yelled with trepidation.

The tank drove all the way to the rear position before Captain Dufort gave the order to stop.

Captain Dufour opened the armor plate in front of the tank, climbed out of it, and lay on the ground against the tank at once, with beads of sweat on his face and a big breath of fresh air.

Koval and Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz stood inside the front headquarters with binoculars and watched the sudden night attack, all surprised.

Having seen the Soviet artillery fire hit the tank, Koval's heart suddenly fell to the bottom: the forward positions were finished.

"Sir, the forward position can't be stopped, send troops to support it!" Lieutenant Colonel Plutoka almost cried and pleaded.

Lieutenant Colonel Tadeush's face was as cold as a frozen iron plate, and his left hand, which was holding the telescope, was bruised, and his mouth could not speak.

"Sir, if you don't save them, they're all going to be finished!" Lieutenant Colonel Plutoka took Lieutenant Colonel Tadeusz by the hand and pleaded bitterly: "If they are gone, the first regiment will be finished!" ”
