It took more than ten minutes for the group to reach the east end of the village of Kupis, and they had already seen that someone from the observation post of the crowd had greeted them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Led by the warriors, a group of people found the commander here.

"Marshal, this is the commander of the engineer company of the 1077 infantry regiment, Second Lieutenant Filtov, and the company instructor, Comrade Pavlov." As the outpost of the 8th Guards Infantry Division, the commander of the division Panfilov can call the name of the commander of the rank and file here.

"Hello, Comrade Marshal."

Because it was in the semi-underground command post in the east of the settlement, the two saluted Lin Jun, and there was no need to worry about the cold guns and cold guns of the Germans here.

"Take me to see what's up ahead."

Lin Jun took off his military hat and simply took off his coat, looking like an ordinary Red Army soldier preparing to bask in the sun from a distance.

Along the road paved with branches in the village, Lin Jun took only Panfilov and Landeskocki with him, and arrived at the first line of fortifications under the guidance of Filtov.

A traffic trench was dug along the dilapidated farmhouse building, and a low breastwork was erected on the western side. The gutter drains the water from the inside to the lower south side.

Lin Jun felt that the number of the two Fertov's troops and their names seemed to have a little impression, so he asked the full names of the two of them, and matched the names of the two people in the history of Panfilov's troops: if it weren't for their own appearance, these two would have died in the blocking battle near the village of Strokovo in the Volokolamsk region on November 28, 1941 - in order to cover the retreat of the main force of the infantry regiment, 11 people miraculously held out for 5 hours against an infantry battalion and 20 tanks of the German army!

In the end, only Ensign Filtov remained, who destroyed a tank with the last grenade, was seriously wounded and captured, and was hanged by the Germans.

An artillery mirror was placed in the bunker near the anti-tank gun position, and Lin Jun listened to Filtov's introduction to the situation here while observing.

"One kilometre ahead is the Kharleevka railway station, and the dirt road south of the station leads to the town of Kharleevka, where about two battalions of German infantry and at least thirty tanks are stationed. The town has three dirt roads leading to the southern and southwestern settlements, but there are no houses to use and have burned down. ”

"Where's the north side?" Lin Jun asked.

"Five kilometres away is the P18 highway leading to Zhytomyrskovya, and the flanks are 40 kilometres deep with lowland farmland, which makes it difficult for people to get through."

Ensign Filtov's introduction was simple and clear, and Panfilov, fearing that the marshal had not figured out the situation, said: "On the north side of Highway 18 is the 1075th Infantry Regiment, and on our left flank is a battalion of the 1073rd Regiment. ”

"You're going to be under a lot of pressure on your wings." Lin Jundao.

Needless to say, once the offensive begins the day after tomorrow, not only in the Kazatin direction, but also from the north and south sides, there will be a frantic attack by the German army, and once the two flanks are lost, the attacking troops will be surrounded. ”

Seen from the artillery mirror, there are huge fields of farmland in a single area of square kilometers. For mechanized troops, this is a real mud pit during the muddy season, but once in the summer, the flat farmland is the perfect performance ground for mechanized troops.

"Before the ground hardens, the troops on both flanks can withstand at least three times as many German troops as themselves, after which the pressure on our infantry will be reduced, and the tank units will be the protagonists."

After Panfilov finished speaking, Lin Jun and his party stayed for a few more minutes and quickly left the village.

"The boys are in good spirits!" Many even bathed shirtless in the sun, and it could be seen that the fighting spirit was high, "When will you send the attacking troops up?" ”

"20 o'clock the day after tomorrow."

The offensive will start at 0:00 on May 11!

In the afternoon of the same day, Panfilov moved the division headquarters to the town of Kamanianka, less than 6 kilometers from the village of Kupis. That night, the 94th Guards Rocket Artillery Regiment entered the forest area on the left flank of Kamanianka at night, and arrived at the same time as a T34 tank regiment of the 52nd Tank Brigade.

After three days of rare good weather, Soviet and German planes appeared in the air from the morning of May 10.

At noon, in the village of Kupis, the company commander Fertov took back the clothes to dry, packed all the clothes and items that were not needed, and threw them on the company's logistics truck.

In the wooden compartment of the 1.5-ton truck, Firtov said to the driver, Corporal Yevgeny: "Don't lose the car then." ”

The comrade driver, who had a typical Kazakh face, was tying up and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, company commander, even if I lost it, everyone's things must still be there." ”

Filtov shook his head and left: this Yevgeny is good at everything, but he drove a little fiercely, and last time he threw away the big soup pot in which Lianli cooked, causing his comrades to look for cooking guys everywhere!

Every time a company-level unit attacks or relocates a station, it puts items that do not need to be carried with them on logistics trucks or wagons, which are usually available in battalion-level units. And Fertov's company was originally a mechanized infantry that did not have to walk on its own during long-range raids, and the transportation conditions were good, and there were special vehicles for this.

At midnight today, the entire company, except for the drivers, will take part in the attack, and the target is the Kharleyevka railway station, a kilometer away.

As soon as Fertov returned to the communication trench leading to the forward observation post, the roar of aircraft was heard in the air, as well as the sound of heavy shooting.

Looking up, several planes swooped down from high altitude in the south, not bombing or strafing by the Germans, but in a melee!

Some time ago, except for the field airfields paved with special steel runways, almost all the first-line airfields were silent: those grassy runways were full of puddles, and the hardness of the ground did not allow planes to take off and land, let alone those earthen runways that turned into mud soup.

The armies at both ends of the railway were watching the battle in the air, and it seemed that two German fighters were covering a reconnaissance plane, and two Red Army fighters were competing against it.

"Damn the box!"

A few kilometers away in the woods, Lieutenant Colonel Teressenok saw the air battle at an altitude of 2,000 meters at the anti-air observation post, and he couldn't help but say this.

"Don't worry, we won't find it even if it comes to us."

It was his chief of staff, Major Kovalenko, who spoke: in the woods behind the two men, three battalions of 72 BM-13 rocket launchers were hidden.

All the artillery trucks are equipped with GMC6X6 trucks provided by the Americans, and each rocket artillery vehicle is not only covered by trees, but also covered with camouflage nets, which is difficult to detect in aerial reconnaissance.

However, for all artillerymen, the German FW-189 tactical reconnaissance plane/artillery school firing aircraft in the telescope is one of the biggest troubles, if it is found by the frame in an unsheltered place, the German shells will soon whistle in.
