Chapter 8: The Bloody Battle of Smolensk (6)
"Should we take the initiative?"
As soon as André said this, he was opposed by all the brothers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Andrei shouted: "If you fight a war, you should take the initiative!" Where is the reason for always being beaten passively? No matter how tight the defense is, there are loopholes! Once the enemy concentrates his forces to attack our vulnerability, how can we defend it? Anyway, I'm a person who only knows that if you fight, you have to attack! ”
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, but the sergeant said, "You are an officer, and the brothers listen to you!" ”
"That's right! You are an officer! Brethren, listen to you! ”
"Good! In that case, it's up to me to arrange it! Our target is the artillery positions of the Germans! ”
After that, Andrei began to make arrangements: only 40 people remained of 23 submachine gunners, and these 23 people were arranged as assault troops, one of whom carried a submachine gun, a pistol and four grenades, led by Andrei himself.
Andrei himself carried a submachine gun, a pistol, a Mosin Nagant sniper rifle and a bayonet.
Accompanying the assault soldiers were six machine gunners, one of whom held a machine gun and another pistol in his waist, led by Hong Bin.
The fire team, a total of twelve people, carried three 50-mm mortars, six gunners and one rifle each.
The sniper team is led by Alyosha who is also assigned to the sniper team, and each of the four is equipped with a pistol in addition to a sniper rifle.
André then explained the meaning of the gestures to the brothers, saying: "In a night attack on the enemy, no one can use a gun, not even a verbal command, until the action is exposed!" Then you will see my gestures! ”
After everything was arranged, André waited patiently in the tunnel, and when the time came, they launched a night attack on the Germans on the opposite side.
Outside, there was a constant sound of artillery, and fierce gunfire came and went. Although it was dark and the Germans could not help the battle, the Germans never stopped attacking the Soviet army, but the density of the night attack was a little smaller, and the German army also changed its tactics, focusing on strong attacks during the day and sneak attacks at night.
Andrei looked at his watch, but he couldn't see it clearly, and then he remembered that there was no glow-in-the-dark watch here, and he couldn't see the time clearly in the dim tunnel.
Andrei took a sharp puff before letting the soldier next to him extinguish the cigarette butt, and the flame of the cigarette butt became redder, and then Andrei glanced at his watch through the faint light, and the time was displayed at 11:23. At this time, if you fall asleep, it is the most difficult time to wake up, the Germans have attacked all day, it is estimated that they also have to rest, after all, they are not iron!
"That's it! Get ready to get your hands dirty! After Andrei finished speaking, he picked up his submachine gun, put on his sniper rifle on his back, and was the first to drill out of the anti-gun hole.
At this time, it happened to be the time when people felt the most sleepy, the Germans attacked all day, and even at night did not stop the sneak attack, it is estimated that they were tired enough.
Andrei and his brothers quietly came out of the trenches and quietly touched the German positions six hundred meters away. With only 44 people, it is a crazy operation to pull out the artillery position from hundreds or thousands of devils!
Taking advantage of the darkness to crawl forward for dozens of meters, suddenly Andrei made a gesture: 'Pay attention to concealment!' ’
André gestured and jumped into a crater. Some of the brothers in the back jumped into the crater, while others simply lay on the ground and pretended to be corpses.
"Pop" a flare hit the sky, illuminating the earth as bright as day.
The light of the flares faded in the air, and the earth returned to its original state, returning to darkness.
People have just recovered from the light to the darkness, and their eyesight will be affected, and Andrei knows this very well, he jumped out of the crater, and ran towards the German position more than 500 meters away. One by one, the brothers in the back rushed out and followed him to the German position.
Suddenly, Andrei rolled on the spot again, into a crater.
Some of the brothers behind him jumped into the crater, while others quickly lay down and hid themselves. The rearmost fire group crouched behind a boulder, and three mortars stood behind the stone.
The fire team was located in a position where direct fire from the Germans was difficult to attack, and their mortars could be fired from behind the stones, ready to provide fire support to the assault troops in front.
Another flare hit the sky, illuminating the ground, and the Japanese behind the trench poked their heads to look at the positions ahead, but they did not notice any movement until the flare was extinguished.
The devils fired flares at intervals to prevent the Soviets from attacking them at night.
Now the Germans were running into Andrei, and their technique of firing flares at intervals had failed.
After the glow of the flares faded again, Andrei continued with the assault and machine gunners. The fire team and the sniper team remained in place, and they took out their sapper shovels and expanded the craters on the ground into foxholes to make it easier to conceal themselves.
Soon, Andrei was the first to enter less than fifteen meters from the German position.
By the time the Germans' next flare was lifted into the air, Andrei had jumped into the German trenches, and a patrolling German soldier was covered in the mouth by Andrei's lightning strike.
"Woo woo" The German soldier's mouth was weakly whimpering, but he couldn't make a sound at all, his fingers tried to pull the trigger of the rifle, but his throat was cut by a sharp blade, and the fingers that were about to pull the trigger no longer had the strength to pull down, and his whole body was limp and paralyzed in the trench.
The brothers jumped into the trench one after another, Andrei trotted a few steps in the trench, and then held down a German sentry from behind, and the sharp blade slashed through the devil's neck, and the severed carotid artery spewed out a bloody arrow, completely soaking Andrei's tattered military uniform, and the pungent smell of blood aroused Andrei's murderous intent.
André took a few steps forward in the winding trench, and a German soldier in front of him heard the movement behind him, and he thought it was his own man. The German soldier had just turned his head, but his mouth was covered, and before he could make a sound, he could only hear the sound of his own neck breaking.
One by one, the sentries were killed by Andre and his men cleanly and silently, and more brothers jumped into the German trenches, where the rest of the German soldiers were sleeping in the tunnels except for the soldiers who were on guard.
Andrei and his brothers passed by the German soldiers who were sleeping like dead pigs, and one after another the devils were "sent back to their hometown" by Andrei and them in their sleep.
At this moment, a German soldier woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, his mouth was immediately covered by a pair of powerful hands. His eyes widened and he struggled for his life, but he couldn't scream at all, only staring in horror at the big man who looked like a ghost in the night. The sharp knife had pierced into his heart, his frightened and desperate eyes gradually faded, his black eyes gradually turned gray and dull, and his struggling body no longer moved.
In the blink of an eye, Andrei alone stabbed more than a dozen German soldiers!
And after killing this gang, Andrei suddenly smelled a smell of blood, he found that he and the soldiers had a very strong smell of blood, oops, if the German soldiers or military dogs smelled blood, then the night attack would be dangerous!
However, they were really afraid of something, and as Andre and the others continued to move forward, a voice suddenly asked in German: "What is it, what's wrong?" ”
Andrei said secretly: "Oh no, the Germans smell blood!" ”
The Japanese trenches were winding and twisty, and such a layout could reduce the lethal effect of opponents' shells, grenades, and other explosives on the personnel in the trenches. But this layout also made Andre and them pick up a big bargain, and it was not easy for other German soldiers to find out when they killed the enemy as much as they wanted.
However, now Andrei and his brothers are like sponges that have just been soaked out of the sea of blood, and their bodies are filled with a pungent smell of blood, if the German soldiers don't find out again, then the German soldiers will be too slow to react! In fact, Andrei did not think of a way to kill people without seeing blood, but that method was quite troublesome, and the slaughter of German soldiers was too inefficient, and it was far less clean than wiping his neck and piercing his heart.
Now that it has been discovered, what else is there to say! As soon as the German soldier shouted out his shout, a sharp bayonet appeared in his throat. The German soldier covered his leaky neck, trying to make himself shout again, but he couldn't shout a word more, his fingers wanted to pull the trigger, but he didn't have the strength to pull the trigger, and after struggling for a while, the German soldier's body went limp, and he slowly collapsed in the trench.
Andrei shot this knife, he thought that someone would rush over to hold the corpse, and by the way, kill several other German soldiers in the trench, so as not to be discovered by the enemy, but when the corpse fell, no one rushed over!
'I don't know how to cooperate! Andrei cursed in his heart.
It was useless to do anything, there was a German soldier in the trench who was shouted by the man just now, someone was already awakened, and the German soldier who opened his eyes found that his companion had fallen and immediately understood.
"The Russians attacked at night!" The Germans in the trench immediately blew up the nest.
Andrei rushed to the bend of the trench with an arrow step, pulled the trigger of the MP40 submachine gun in his hand, and a long string of bullets gushed out like a swarm of exploding swarms, causing blood mist to spray wildly in the trench. There was a scream, and the corpses in the ditch were suddenly pillowed.
The brothers in the back fired fiercely at the German soldiers in the trenches who had just woken up, and the German soldiers in the trenches were densely packed, the amazing melee power of the submachine guns, and the bullets splashed a blinding line of blood in the crowd, and the German soldiers fell like weeds that had been cut to the ground.
And Andrei ordered at the same time: "The artillery immediately hit the artillery positions of the German army!" ”
The roar of the "boom boom" mortar, one shell after another flew into the German artillery position, detonated the shell, the boom explosion reflected half of the sky, and Andrei hurriedly retreated with the night raid team!
