Chapter Ninety-Five: Victory in the First Battle

The soldiers of the roadside reconnaissance platoon heard the roar of the motor, and sure enough, it was the vanguard of the Germans, and the commander and sniper who led the team began to count, and the sniper silently said: "The enemy has about the strength of a battalion, three parallel tanks in front, six armored vehicles in the back, and then a truck full of soldiers with a t"

The fighters of the reconnaissance platoon held their breath, and the Germans began to march along the road to the positions of the Soviet troops, and at the same time their telegram was sent to Andrei, and the Germans came! And Andrei was also wondering at the observation post that there was no reconnaissance, and there were no German planes, and the German attack was so big, it seems that the Soviet army was really not taken into account. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, on the position of the fourth regiment, the vigilant sentries saw the Germans, "the Germans are coming," and the German vanguard units that came, they did not take the Soviet positions in front of them in their eyes, after all, they had already defeated several Soviet troops in front, but the fourth regiment set up a trench designed by Andrei according to the information of later generations, the first trench was not too many troops, and it was also set up with cat ear holes, even if the German heavy shelling would not cause too many casualties, and accompanied by three tanks and armored vehicles, The German infantry began to attack.

Andrei saw with a telescope that the German army's offensive formation was very dense, perhaps because there was no figure in front, the Germans did not shell first, but directly attacked the position of the fourth regiment and not all the infantry got off the car, many soldiers were still in the car, it seemed that the German army was very relaxed, but for his own troops Andrei had no bottom at the moment, many people in this army were just prisoners of the Gulag, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness was not much stronger than the troops in front.

The Germans were slowly approaching the first line of trenches, but the Soviets did not fire a single shot, what happened?

The artillery company, which was hiding behind the second line of trenches, began to push away the haystacks where the artillery was hidden, pushing out the 76-mm field guns, and ten guns were aimed directly at the German tanks, and at the same time, the fighters of the second line of trenches entered the first line of trenches along the communication trenches, and soon, Andrei saw that Valginets wearing a large-brimmed hat also came out of the shelter, stood behind a cannon, raised his right hand holding a small red flag high, and after confirming that his men were ready, he waved the red flag in his hand, Then the artillery of the artillery company roared.

The three German tanks that opened the road had just driven to the trench for more than ten meters, when the shells hit the tanks fiercely, so they stopped next to the trench. The first round of fire of the artillery company, although a few shots missed, fell around the tank and exploded, but it also destroyed all the German tanks, and the accompanying German infantry was also directly lifted up by the air wave and directly shattered.

But the doom of the Germans was not over, and according to the ballistic correction of the first round of firing, the second round of fire from the artillery company also came right after, turning four of the six armored vehicles that followed closely behind into burning scrap metal. The remaining two armored vehicles saw that the situation was not good, and turned around and ran. It didn't take long for a car to go before it was found by a shell, exploded and then burst into flames. The fate of the other car was not much better, because it drove too fast, it crashed headlong into an oncoming truck, and after the violent impact, the German soldiers on the truck were turned upside down, and those who did not get down were also hit by a huge inertia and dizzy.

At the same time, the soldiers of the four regiments in the first trench stood up one after another, and the machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles in their hands roared together, focusing on the soldiers in the trucks behind them and the soldiers who jumped out of the cars and fled backwards.

Seeing that the enemy was in confusion, the soldiers with cold weapons in the trenches jumped up, rushed towards the enemy with their weapons, the soldiers first threw grenades and then brandished sapper shovels and axes and rushed towards the Germans, the Germans who had been beaten to the ground had no desire to shoot at all, they either fled in embarrassment, or raised their hands and surrendered, and the performance of the Germans in a desperate situation was not as extreme as their fascist alliance Japanese army.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang again, Andrei thought it was Ivan calling, and was about to praise him a few words, but he didn't expect to hear it, it was Makarov again, after he heard my voice, he said anxiously: "Comrade division commander, let our regiment and tank detachment attack from the side, as long as the rear road of these Germans is cut off, I guarantee that none of them can escape." ”

Makarov's suggestion made Andrei's heart pound, but seeing the soldiers of the four regiments chasing the enemy in the distance, Andrei thought about it and wondered, and the fierce battle was behind. Said: "No, Comrade Makarov. This is only a small force of the German army, you must not expose the target, you will fight the next battle, and now you are not allowed to act. ”

After the fourth regiment pursued the rout for a kilometer, it was accepted as soon as it was good, so the commander hurriedly instructed the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield, carrying captured materials and escorting the prisoners back.

Seeing the return of the 4th Regiment to the trenches, Andrei finally waited for Ivan's belated call. Andrei heard the excitement in his words: "Report to Comrade Division Commander, our regiment was in the battle just now. Destroyed 3 enemy tanks, 5 armored vehicles, 25 trucks, killed 149 enemy personnel, wounded 213 people, captured 19 people and captured one armored vehicle. ”

After Ivan finished talking about the results of our army, Andrei hurriedly asked: "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

"Fortunately, only ten fighters were slightly wounded, and no one died."

"So Captain Ivan, have you interrogated the prisoners? What kind of army are they? ”

"Interrogated. They were the 4th Motorized Rifle Division of the 29th Tank Army of the Hort. We were defeated by the vanguard battalion of the division, the main force of the division was still fifteen kilometers away from our army, and it was estimated that it would be able to arrive in about an hour. ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly instructed Ivan: "Comrade Ivan, although we took the enemy by surprise, it also aroused their vigilance, before the next attack." The enemy will definitely bombard your regiment's positions with artillery fire, and you should keep your fighters on the defensive, minimizing the losses suffered by the enemy shelling. ”

"Please rest assured, division commander, our regiment has built a large number of anti-artillery holes in both lines of defense according to your instructions. When the enemy shelled, except for a small number of observation posts, the remaining commanders and fighters could go to the cave to hide from the enemy's artillery fire. ”

Andrei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and after a slight pause, he began to comment on the battle just now: "Your regiment performed very well in the battle just now, the German vanguard battalion is almost close to the position, and no one in the trench has been found, which proves that you have done a good job of concealment." Some of the artillery companies of Valginets also made great contributions, destroying all the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles as soon as they struck, and then covering our troops with artillery fire, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. If you continue to fight like this in the next battle, it probably won't be long before you get promoted, but then you have to keep working hard. ”

The large German forces really couldn't help but say that they were coming, and only forty minutes later the menacing German vanguard regiment arrived, and the German artillery shelling of the Soviet positions began. First, a test shot of a shell landed more than ten meters in front of the trench and exploded, setting off a huge column of smoke, and then the shell rained down on the periphery of the first trench and exploded, and the flying smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and the dazzling sunlight dimmed at once. It seemed to be dusk.

There was a loud rumbling noise, and Andrei's observation post was trembling slightly. He couldn't help but worry about the commanders and fighters in the trenches, would they be able to survive under such a dense artillery bombardment? Can anti-gun holes be useful?
