Chapter 42 Shelling the Enemy Camp
The surrounding commandos and captives listened with relish, and the commandos understood what they were fighting for, and their morale was high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The captives were shaken by Koval's words, and they were no longer very resistant.
"Are you the one who treats fraternal nations with guns? And kill us. The middle-aged non-commissioned officer who was captured next to him sneered disdainfully.
Koval finally found himself in the embarrassment of playing a double reed alone, and if someone cooperated, one played black face and the other played white face, this group of guys might give up the darkness and turn to the light.
"I will not be soft on those who turn their backs on their people." Koval said coldly with a sinking face.
"The distance is 2,700 meters, the azimuth is 17 degrees north, and the drop is 20 meters." Zike muttered the stats and repeatedly adjusted the gun's firing angle.
"Hurry up!" Koval impatiently pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger.
Zike was sweating as he repeatedly adjusted the artillery.
"It's just a test shot, so why be in such a hurry? You have ten seconds left. Koval blew into the muzzle of the gun and stepped aside to pick up a telescope to observe the enemy.
Zike fixed the angle of launch and looked at the middle-aged non-commissioned officer with a pleading gaze.
The mid-year non-commissioned officer turned his face away, pointed upwards with his right hand, and gestured a number.
Zike immediately readjusted, opened the bolt, stuffed the shell, closed the bolt, pulled the bolt, and fired the cannon with a bang.
The commander of the Soviet battalion, standing behind the fortifications, saw that the shell had just hit next to the factory office building occupied by the first company, and said happily: "A few more rounds will blow up this building!" I've finally been able to break this turtle shell. ”
At this moment, a cannonball hit the fortifications accurately, and a brick wall and several stone fortifications were immediately blown into a pile of fragments and scattered in all directions. The Soviet battalion commander and several of his officers were immediately hit by the exploding shrapnel, which added to their damage.
"Holy! What are these fools doing in artillery? I'm going to kill them! Thinking of this, the Soviet battalion commander had many holes in his body with shrapnel and rubble, blood kept flowing from his mouth, and he lay on the ground and twitched weakly a few times, and then fainted and did not move.
Koval saw in the telescope that the artillery accurately hit the target, and a group of officers were blown up, and immediately said excitedly: "Keep firing!" ”
Zike already knew what he had done from Koval's excited tone, and his heart was empty, and he mechanically lifted the cannonball, opened the cannonball, stuffed the cannonball, closed the cannonball, pulled the cannonball cable, and the cannonball was fired quickly.
Seeing the shells falling on the enemy's position, the commandos also cheered, and the commandos next to them saw Zike's sweaty appearance and immediately helped Zike carry the shells.
The shells kept falling around the enemy's fortifications, and Koval looked at the fortifications that had been blown up by the shells and the many fragments of corpses scattered inside, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, stop shooting." ”
With just a few shells in total, Koval didn't want to run out of shells all at once, and the battle to defend the Nerris Bridge would require even more shells.
"Corporal Zike, you've done a very good job. Now it's our turn. Koval turned to Zike with a smile.
"Leave four men to guard the artillery, and the others follow me." Koval galloped toward the battlefield with eleven commandos.
After the Soviet battalion commander was seriously wounded by artillery, the two company commanders besieging the factory found themselves surrounded by the enemy, the bridge to the south was heavily guarded by Polish troops, the battle situation in the west was unknown, and the heralds sent did not return. After deliberation, the two company commanders were ready to retreat with their troops thinking about the north.
"As long as we retreat into the mountains to the north, the Poles will not be able to catch up with us. Moreover, we can get the support of the surrounding farmers, and if they chase them, we can ambush them. A company commander rolled up the map and said.
"Give the order to go down, take turns to retreat north, and the light machine gun will suppress the fire inside the building!"
With the order, the Soviet soldiers gradually shifted their positions and retreated northward from both sides of the office building. Alex's troops tried to counterattack and stop the retreat of the Soviet troops.
However, the office building is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the same time, it also restricts the people inside. Soviet soldiers took turns setting up light machine guns behind the obstacles, aiming at the doors and windows of the office building, and several exits from the roof, trapping Alex's men inside.
The heavy machine guns of the first company were inconvenient to move, the rate of fire of the Mauser rifles was too low, and the MP-18 submachine gun had absolutely no idea where the bullets were flying from a hundred meters away. So Alex had to hide in the office building and do it in a hurry.
Koval came running from the east with eleven commandos, and seeing the Soviet soldiers constantly retreating, he immediately led the soldiers to rush forward.
If these troops were allowed to hide in the mountains to the north, it would be troublesome. Koval thought to himself.
Koval and his soldiers continued to advance along the sides of the street, detouring around the Soviet soldiers before shooting. Two light machine guns were firing at the office building, and the commandos gave them two shuttles from behind, and they lay on top of the guns. A group of Soviet soldiers with guns crowded together and ran north, just when they met Koval and others who came around the corner, Koval stood and quickly pulled the trigger, and the bullets sprayed towards the opposite side like a storm. As soon as the Soviet soldier pulled the bolt of his gun and did not fire a single bullet, he was beaten into a honeycomb by the submachine gun. Blood stained the ground red from the narrow streets.
There were also a few Soviet soldiers running over here, and when they saw this bloody scene, and saw the fierce appearance of Koval and others, they immediately threw away their rifles, raised their hands, and shouted: "I surrender, I surrender!" Don't shoot, don't shoot! ”
Koval had no choice but to signal to stop shooting, and the other Soviet soldiers who were left behind saw that Koval had not shot them, and slowly came out of the corner and surrendered.
Koval looked at the more than thirty captives and felt troublesome, now was the right time to pursue and kill the enemy army, but he only had twelve people in his hands, and he had to let people watch this group of captives, and in such a moment, the enemy army ran out of a dozen more.
However, despite some troubles, Koval will not kill them, after all, his goal is to completely occupy Lithuania, and if too many killings are left, it will not be conducive to the future government rule in Lithuania.
