When the trajectory of the rocket crossed the night sky and fell towards the position of Yang Jingyi and her comrades, everyone packed up their things and fished in along the entrance of the tunnel. When she put the unfinished compressed biscuits in her pocket and bent over to be the last one to enter the tunnel, Yang Jingyi looked back and saw two tankers slipping into the tank neatly and covering the top.

The "Gray Wolf" tank has excellent protection capabilities, and Liu Junkai hid in the tunnel in advance when the Soviet army used bombs, so this tank can survive to this day. The other two were not so lucky, both were destroyed by the Soviets while maneuvering on the battlefield.

The front section of the tunnel is more than 30 meters long and is very spacious enough to accommodate a tank maneuvering. This was originally an underground position of concealed Soviet 155-mm towed howitzers, but for unknown reasons it was abandoned. It has been repeatedly expanded, with underground tunnels extending in all directions, with a total of three floors, and the core part of the tunnel has been repeatedly reinforced. The entrance to the tunnel for the Chinese soldiers was in a factory workshop destroyed by artillery fire. The factory building was very strong, and the repeated bombing by the Soviet army did not completely collapse.

In the underground tunnel about 100 meters in front of the factory building is the ammunition depot of the Soviet army's 155-mm howitzers that were accidentally discovered, and Captain Yang Jingyi and Captain Liu Hanliang had walked into it yesterday morning when they were looking for directional mines, and there were probably more than 2,000 shells inside, none of which were fused. Soviet aerial bombs and 155-millimeter guns blew a crater in the surface, but it was still three meters from the storage room. As long as it is not directly hit by the Soviet bombs, it will not be destroyed, and Liu Hanliang once tried to install a trigger fuse on the shells last night when the position could not be held, and blow up all the Soviet tanks on it. Fortunately, the heavy artillery of the supporting troops was used to cover the fire in time, otherwise Yang Jingyi and her comrades-in-arms might have died with the Soviet army.

After walking along the underground tunnel for a few minutes, Yang Jingyi and her comrades came to the underground observation post at the front line, and Song Yugang quickly issued an order to the new soldiers after observing from the periscope for a while. "You've been fighting in this area for days. The Soviets are expected to adopt the old tactics, with tanks taking the lead in the front, infantry fighting vehicles three or four hundred meters behind, and Soviet infantry in the middle; There may be Soviet attack aircraft and dive bombers. The shooter of the automatic grenade launcher pays attention to the coordination of the anti-tank missileman, one suppresses the Soviet infantry, and the other attacks the tail of the Soviet tank. Strike quickly, lest you be spotted and attacked by infantry fighting vehicles and infantry. As long as one tank is hit, the Soviet army will be thrown into disarray. The synergistic forces on the front of the Soviet army are multi-ethnic, superficially numerous, but in fact lack coordination and tacit understanding, and their combat effectiveness will not be too strong, especially the ground forces composed of Ukrainian soldiers, who lack the experience of mixing operations with modern armored forces. Bai Wei, you pay attention to keeping in touch with the artillery, and call for firepower to deal a fatal blow to the Soviet troops who are in a ball when they are about to fall into chaos. ”

"Yes." Behind Yang Jingyi, a burly soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back replied. In the faint light, Yang Jingyi saw that he was carrying a pair of things that were probably measuring instruments in his hands.

"Xiao Yang, you are familiar with the position tunnels, and the snipers will be led around by you. They will choose the activity route themselves. ”

Yang Jingyi agreed, and immediately took the sniper along the tunnel to familiarize herself with the terrain. Yang Jingyi has been active in this area for three days, and when she first entered the position, Yang Jingyi followed Captain Liu Hanliang inch by inch, turning around in the tunnel, and quickly put mines on the road along the road of retreating from the Soviet army at the very beginning of the position; The first will strafe Soviet infantry and flamethrower hands from the flanks of the position, attracting Soviet tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to steer, exposing their weak side and back armor to direct fire from anti-tank and Gray Wolf tanks. I don't know how many times I ran up and down the pit in three days, but I could find the way with my eyes closed.

After the last sniper disappeared from Yang Jingyi's sight, Yang Jingyi hurried back to the observation post, and on the way, she saw Song Yugang directing several soldiers to place 105mm rocket shells in the exit of the trench facing the Soviet side of the tunnel. "What are you doing with them? There is no artillery again, so you can't scare the Soviet army with this, right? Yang Jingyi asked a little strangely.

"You'll find out in a moment." A warrior replied with a mysterious smile. Although he was talking, his hands were not idle, and he connected the military battery found in the tunnel to the tail of the rocket with a telephone cable.

Yang Jingyi did not have time to study their work, so she returned to the observation post alone, crouched on the periscope and looked at the Soviet position.

The starting position of the mechanized units of the Soviet army was about 5,000 meters from the Chinese soldiers, hiding in bunkers temporarily dug with construction machinery. Due to being too careless, the Soviet troops thought that the Chinese army did not suppress artillery fire from a long distance, and in order to save time for assembly, the troops assembled in large numbers not far from the front of the Chinese army's position last night, preparing to break through this line of defense in one fell swoop. As a result, the sudden and rapid fire of the Chinese heavy artillery caused heavy damage to the Soviet troops, and the pre-dawn assault was over.

Tonight's night is even darker, with no moon and no stars to be seen. The air was very stuffy during the day today, and it was probably windy outside, and there was a thick damp smell in the wind. The soil where Yang Jingyi lay down also exuded a moist earthy smell. It's going to rain heavily tonight. It's now the rainy season, and in a few days there will be more rain.

"Let's rain, maybe it will be more difficult for the enemy to attack." Yang Jingyi thought in her heart.

Several smoke generators and three anti-tank mines were found, one of which had been wrapped by Yang Jingyi with a telephone cable and left a towing wire about three or four meters long, and packed it in a woven bag; In the ammunition box in the corner of the wall, he took out two magazines and a drum for the "**Sha" submachine gun, checked the guns, and inserted the magazine into the magazine belt on his body. I didn't bring those grenades, so as not to affect my mobility. Ammunition is running out, these were collected from dead Soviet soldiers. In the back tunnel, there were weapons and ammunition collected by the comrades from the killed enemy, including rifles, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, and a 30-mm machine gun removed from a tank destroyed by the Soviets. But Yang Jingyi is not familiar with most of them, only the "**Sha" submachine gun she still uses more easily, the disadvantage is that the flame of the muzzle at night is too large.

Dragging the woven bag, Yang Jingyi came to the turn of the surface exit of the tunnel, and waited for the Soviet 155-mm artillery to stay for a while and go out to lay mines after ten minutes of suppressive firing.

More than ten seconds later, there was a piercing gliding sound of cannonballs in the air, and Yang Jingyi immediately covered her ears. The first 155-mm howitzer shells landed a few dozen meters away from Yang Jingyi, and then more shells landed on the front and rear of the position. The whole earth groaned, and although Yang Jingyi leaned against the sturdy reinforced concrete wall more than a meter thick, she could still feel the vibration of the tunnel, and from time to time concrete debris fell on the camouflage cloth of Yang Jingyi's steel helmet on the top of the wall. In the past, Yang Jingyi only saw these scenes on movies and television, and thought it was very interesting, but when you were there, she was not interested at all. The sonic vibrations caused by the explosion of a cannonball in the air are so uncomfortable that it is like a few hands repeatedly tugging on the nerves in your brain. The first time she experienced the shelling in the tunnel, Yang Jingyi was almost shocked, covering her ears tightly and hiding at the bottom of the tunnel, this feeling that people felt simply unbearable, but there was nowhere to escape and could not escape, Yang Jingyi, who was used to flying freely in the blue sky and white clouds, will never forget it in her life.

Bursts of pungent explosives drifted into the bunker along the wind, and the fragments of dirt and concrete raised by the shells smashed on the wall opposite Yang Jingyi at the entrance of the tunnel and then bounced at Yang Jingyi's feet. Yang Jingyi lowered her head and tried to take advantage of this time to rest, trying not to pay attention to the shelling of the Soviet army.

Finally, the shelling of the Soviet troops stopped. Yang Jingyi put the gun aside, took out an anti-tank mine weighing more than 30 pounds of cylindrical wires from the woven bag, jumped out of the bunker, and bent her waist along the trench to the place where the Soviet tanks at the front might pass. There was a steep slope, the terrain on both sides was gentle, and it was about 100 meters away from the Chinese soldiers, which was very suitable for Soviet tanks to suppress fire. This morning, Yang Jingyi set her sights on this location, preparing to surprise the Soviet army here in the evening.

Carefully climbing to the top of this hill, Yang Jingyi opened the safety of the anti-tank mine, and gently lowered the anti-tank mine with the bottom down with wires. "Good luck!" Yang Jingyi thought silently in her heart, but the person had already crawled towards the trench quickly.

Any hesitation here could be observed by the Soviets, which could lead to artillery fire from Soviet armored vehicles or snipers hiding in the Soviet army. In the past three days, many of Yang Jingyi's comrades-in-arms have been killed and wounded by the Soviet army in the surface fortification movement.

The night became even darker, Yang Jingyi felt back to the starting place with one shallow foot, put the remaining two anti-tank mines in the storage hole on the corner wall behind the tunnel, picked up the gun and carried the woven bag to the right side of the position. From time to time, tracer shells from 30-mm machine guns fired blindly by Soviet troops swept through the thick night sky. Bypassing the improvised anti-child and mother bullet trenches, the smoke generators in the woven bags were arranged at the exits of several bunkers, and Yang Jingyi then drilled into the underground fortifications. There is also a periscope here, on which Yang Jingyi lies on to observe the movements of the Soviet army. From here, Yang Jingyi could shoot at the infantry behind the Soviet army from several bunker exits, attracting the Soviet armored vehicles to turn.

The Soviet tanks finally showed their silhouettes in the dark night, about 20 of them, three "T-34" tanks in a triangular formation, followed by infantry fighting vehicles and two tall self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, from time to time firing at the positions of the Chinese soldiers. The infantry of the Soviet army could not see clearly.

At this point in the war, the strength of the Soviet army was also greatly weakened. The troops now engaged in front-line operations lack training. In the battled positions with the Chinese army some time ago, the experienced officers and men of the Soviet army suffered a large number of casualties, and they have not yet recovered in time. In the past few days, due to problems in the coordination of the mixed units of the Soviet army, the attacks on the positions of the Chinese army have always been led by the nose and cannot be forced.

took out half of the biscuit from her pocket and took a bite, Yang Jingyi put the biscuit back in her pocket and chewed it slowly in her mouth. I was busy for a while just now, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on my head. Yang Jingyi lay on the periscope and waited for the best time to attack.

When the Soviet tanks were about 1,000 meters away from the Chinese soldiers, the sound of rocket launches suddenly sounded in the Chinese position, and the tail flames of rockets appeared in Yang Jingyi's sight.

"How did they get the rockets over?" Yang Jingyi was a little surprised at first, but more excited.

Rockets exploded one by one between Soviet infantry groups and combat vehicles, and one of them happened to hit the front armor of an infantry fighting vehicle. The neat offensive formation of the Soviet troops began to disrupt, and the chariots began to maneuver left and right in a chaotic manner. Seeing the scrambled appearance of the Soviet army, Yang Jingyi couldn't help but feel very funny.

The Soviet tanks stopped and began to fire at the positions where the rockets had just been fired. Tank destroyers and armored vehicles, which reacted, also joined the shelling. It took five minutes for the Soviets to continue their advance towards the Chinese positions, but more slowly.

When the Soviet tank was less than 200 meters away from Yang Jingyi's forward position, Yang Jingyi left the periscope and went straight to the exit of the bunker closest to the Soviet tank with her gun.

The exit of the underground tunnel bunker on the right side of the position was distributed in a zigzag pattern, and the three tanks led by the enemy slowly advanced towards Yang Jingyi's position in a triangular formation. It seems that the Soviets regarded this position as the highest priority point of attack to the east of the city.

This position is on higher ground, the terrain on the east-facing side is relatively gentle, and the entire defensive line protrudes about four or five hundred meters away. The Soviets had tried to carry out a surprise attack from the flank to cut off Yang Jingyi's comrades from other positions, but Yang Jingyi and his comrades-in-arms had been condescendingly attacking the offensive formation on both flanks with mortars, rocket launchers and other weapons from the high ground. Because as soon as the Soviet army was hit, one or two tanks or infantry fighting vehicles would fall into chaos. Every attempt of the Soviet army to attack was disrupted by Yang Jingyi. They hated the positions of the Chinese soldiers here, so they took special care of this place in the past few days, pouring fire on it with all the weapons they could use, trying with all their might to turn this place into a no-man's land.

The Soviets had already assaulted the edge of the castle complex at the rocket launch base, and as long as Yang Jingyi and her comrades' positions were conquered, the castle would be open to them. This temptation prompted the Soviet army to storm Yang Jingyi's men night after night, even uncharacteristically ignoring the heavy casualties of the troops.

Yang Jingyi felt towards the bunker closest to the enemy tank, and lay down on the bunker, and the creaking sound of the enemy's tank tracks crushing on the ground clearly reached Yang Jingyi's ears.

"It's about a hundred meters away." Yang Jingyi guessed in her heart.

The Soviets have been fighting more and more carefully in the past few days, and at the beginning, the tanks were rushing to the positions of the Chinese army, and of course they were also quickly killed by the Chinese soldiers, and the enemy's infantry did not even see where the soldiers of the Chinese army were. Now the enemy is honestly moving forward step by step, and as long as he thinks there is movement, he will fire a burst of artillery fire, and the tanks and armored vehicles will not easily disperse in formation.

The three "T-34" tanks always turned their heads towards Yang Jingyi, slowly turning left and right.

"No, the enemy is definitely waiting for the infantry! Gotcha! Yang Jingyi thought.

The Soviet infantry was armed with a large number of flamethrowers and automatic grenade launchers, both of which posed a great threat to the Chinese soldiers. Once you are discovered by the enemy infantry first, you can only hide in the depths of the tunnel or move in other directions of the tunnel, and there is no way to engage the enemy directly, you can only be suppressed by the enemy. And the enemy's infantry fighting vehicles quickly suppressed fire with ferocious machine-gun fire. Without rapid maneuvering, the probability of surviving enemy crossfire is very small.

Yang Jingyi lay motionless on the ground, but her eyes were vigilantly searching for the enemy's infantry, and the crosshair of the "**Sha" submachine gun was aimed at the place where the enemy tank might appear. Suddenly, the enemy tank fired a shell at a low wall not far behind Yang Jingyi. The entire surface was shaken by the huge energy emitted by the tank, and the metal fragments on the ground a few meters in front of Yang Jingyi were shaken, and Yang Jingyi's ears were also buzzed.

Suddenly, an orange-red fire dragon appeared in Yang Jingyi's eyes. That's the enemy's flamethrower. The cunning enemy infantry, already hiding behind the tank, suddenly fired at a bunker not far to Yang Jingyi's right.

"Can't let him squirt continuously over here!" Yang Jingyi thought to herself. Without hesitation, as the enemy's first flame revealed her position, Yang Jingyi raised her rifle and fired a short strafing shot at them.

When the screams of the enemy's flamethrowers sounded in her ears, and the other enemies were shouting and scrambling to find a place to shoot, Yang Jingyi had already pulled the smoke generator, drilled into the tunnel, and went straight to the next sniper point.

The next sniper point is more than 30 meters away from here, and the terrain is slightly higher. When Yang Jingyi was running in the tunnel, the sound of gunfire like fried beans had already sounded outside, mixed with the explosion of the enemy's armored vehicle machine shells.

Yang Jingyi easily climbed into the second bunker and looked outside. The enemy was pouring fire on the position where Yang Jingyi had been firing, and in the faint ballistic light of the fire, Yang Jingyi saw the armored vehicles behind the enemy accelerating towards the position.

When Yang Jingyi tried to lean out of some position to find the enemy's infantry, the enemy's infantry fighting vehicle suddenly fired blindly at Yang Jingyi's position. Yang Jingyi quickly retracted into the bunker to avoid being hit by the enemy's grenade fragments.

The enemy is getting better and better, and they know that they have to suppress and shoot near the exposed point of Yang Jingyi's fire, and they have ammunition anyway.

Enemy grenades continued to explode around the bunker where Yang Jingyi was hiding. Fragments of cannonballs screeched wildly and flew wildly, digging deep into their identified targets, or colliding back and forth in the air, only to reluctantly roll on the ground to reveal their stunning bodies until they ran out of kinetic energy.

Yang Jingyi quietly leaned deep into the bunker, waiting for the enemy's fire to divert the gap.

"Panic and impulsiveness at any time will not help you evade enemy fire!" Yang Jingyi remembered Lao Liu's words again.
