Private Alexander, the loader, was sitting on a broken chair that Zhang had found, gritting his teeth against the light of the fire from scrap wood for a minor operation: an infantry medic stitched a wound on his cheek with needle and thread, a memento of his own chariot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Half of his face was swollen, and there was a deep crack, and the blood had already coagulated, and it hurt him enough when he took off the tank cap just now! -- It's all glued together.

"Alright." The medic used alcohol to detoxify it again, and put it on a simple package, "Let someone remove your stitches after 5 days, pay attention to hygiene and beware of infection." These pills are taken two times a day after meals. "I also gave him a couple of anti-inflammatory pills.

"Oh, it fucking hurts!" Alexander's words were a little inarticulate, and his face was swollen and uncomfortable.

"I said Comrade Sergeant, will this leave a scar?"

Alexander asked, pointing to his face.

"It's just seven stitches, and it's still a little manly to keep it."

Hearing the loader's words, the major, who had just poked his head out of the chariot to check the condition, said: "The scar is a man's medal!" The girls will love it, rest assured, you will definitely find a wife in the future! ”

Jumped out of the car, "It's enough to play hard, you still have to reload when you hit, and I'll submit you a meritorious service report when the fight is over." ”

The driver, Parotin, whose head was exposed outside the open armor cover of the cab, heard the major say that he had been awarded for meritorious service, and quipped: "A scar for a medal for bravery, it's worth it!" ”

"Everyone has a share, and no one can run."

The Major's words made everyone feel like eating a watermelon from a well in the summer, and it felt good! I'm afraid that the major won't report it, as long as he can make a report, the boss will definitely approve it!

In fact, there is no need for the artillerymen to report it themselves, and the infantry commanders who fought with the cooperation have long recorded the bravery of this SU-3-02 self-propelled gun numbered 76, not to mention the medals, it is estimated that the medals will not run! It is possible for Comrade Commander to get the "Order of the Red Banner"!

If it weren't for the fearless support of this cannon, the infantry would have suffered at least three or five hundred more casualties before they could break through to the Nereis River!

Artillery Commander Pavel, who had been with the major for several years, nibbling on a compressed biscuit, did not hear about the award as others did (for a reason, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner three months after the war began). "Major, when will the ammunition arrive?" ”

snatched half of the biscuit from the gunner's hand, "I should be soon, I already used the radio to report that we are short of ammunition just now." He pointed to the doorless and walled department store across the street that loomed in the firelight—no one would have thought it had been a store if it weren't for the writing on the wall.

"Car No. 9 is also running out of ammunition."

The commander of the No. 9 car is good enough, and the chariot is poured directly into the house, which is safe and reliable.

At this moment a gas buggy appeared on Lenin Street with something in tow, and made a turn into the cross-street where the major was located.

"Miserable! Guys! ”

It was Pavel who spoke - why did you say it badly? Behind the car was a more than 200-kilogram M1938 120mm mortar! Probably because there was an empty dirt field on the edge of this place, and an artillery position was to be built in this place that was almost a green space.

The SU-76 crew had planned to take a break before receiving a new order, but as long as the mortar was here, the ears would have to suffer.

No one else had to interfere, and a sergeant major jumped out of the buggy to say hello: their task was very simple, to prevent the cold from freezing the Nereis again tonight.

The demolition shells brought down by the mortars weighed 15.9 kilograms, which was easy and cheap to produce, and it was so powerful that it was probably more expensive to carry out the task of blowing up the ice than to use explosives packs.

The shelling artillery has a curved trajectory and uses different charges, and it can not only bombard the river more than 100 meters away from the four-story building, but also the 10 kilometers or so on both sides of the river -- the people above can really choose the place.

Watching the mortarists set up the heavy heavy artillery guns, and the shells were stacked on the ground one after another, the infantry on the side frowned!

As soon as the first shell was stuffed into the muzzle, the veterans who were a little farther away immediately covered their ears with their hands - a loud, dull loud bang in the muzzle flash, and a shock that shook people up and down, and the shells whistled and shot into the sky at a high angle.

Soon, a dull explosion was heard at close range across the building: the upstairs shelling observation post reported that the shell had accurately hit the midline of the river.

This is not bad, it is the most basic charge, and if there are more medicine bags, this vibration will be even more powerful!

Compared with their own 120-mm mortars, which made the soldiers depressed, the German shells that suddenly flew in at some point were the real enemy - the Germans on the other side of the river had basically withdrawn their artillery, and from this end they could only see the sparse buildings on the opposite side. The German observation post was there, directing the German artillery to shell, constantly inflicting casualties on this side.

The inner gate is more lively than the festival, there are explosions everywhere, and the night planes look down from the sky as if they are setting off fireworks everywhere, but this fireworks can kill people!

Finally, the transport vehicles of the logistics department brought cannon shells, and the gunners hurried to replenish the ammunition, and by the way, they filled the half-empty fuel tanks with several barrels of diesel fuel that had been delivered.

In addition to 5 armor-piercing rounds, the major stuffed his tank with another fifty high-explosive shells, apparently the comrades in logistics knew what they needed.

The refurbished infantry also received a new order to capture two five-story buildings 400 meters away, under the cover of two SU-76s, at a traffic junction on the western side of the city for the Germans.

The building is very sturdy and rectangular in shape, and it has a large footprint. There was an open space nearly 150 meters wide and more than 200 meters long in front of it, which was originally a children's park, and the Germans also set up small-caliber artillery and various temporary infantry fortifications close to the target.

It's simply "air-ground collaboration", and it takes a lot of effort to pull it out!

"Major, our steel plates can't stop their cannons, and besides, the house is a little thicker."

Gun Commander Pavel was a little worried, this kind of assault mission SU-76 was a bit difficult.

"Don't worry, the order says that there will be several SU-152s to cooperate, and the rear artillery will carry out early shelling."

With the SU-152 in the lead, there really is nothing to worry about!

THE HUGE SU-152 HAD SUFFICIENTLY THICK ARMOR TO BE AFRAID OF A SLIGHTLY SMALLER FRONTAL CALIBER CANNON ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL, NOT TO MENTION ANY SMALL-CALIBER MACHINE GUNS. The 152-mm ML-20 gun with which the stationary fighting compartment was equipped weighed more than 40 kilograms! As soon as it passed, it was a small half of the building! Originally, the purpose of the original development of this self-propelled gun was to provide short-range fire support to the infantry, which can be said to be the "ultimate mobile support firepower" that the infantry can get in street fighting!

The gunners of the SU-152 are all very bold, who let them have enough thick armor plates to protect them! Brand new assault weapons, not many battles have been participated, but every time the gunners dare to drive the vehicle close to the target, they can shell it with submachine guns!

It's not just the SU-152, it's going to be 5 kilometers away, and 9 M-13 rocket launchers have just entered the launch position, and the rocket gunners are adjusting the angle of the launcher.

Pavel had just made all the preparations when they saw several infantrymen coming over with cats on their backs, and they had come to meet the battle.

The leader was a major, and only then did the comrades of the infantry recognize who the commander of the self-propelled cannon No. 3-02 was, "Hello, Comrade Yakov-Dzhugashvili. ”

Zhugashvili's artillery company was incorporated into the 1st Guards Division after fighting in the Grodno Salient last year, and this time he commanded the troops to rush to the front, although he is now a deputy regiment commander.

"I am a soldier of the Red Army, and I want to be where my chariot is most needed!" This is what he told Fekochinov: no one should want to leave him behind, even if he is Stalin's son!

During the fierce battle of "Xiaodi", Zhugashvili's unit repeatedly supported the infantry, and the troops lost more than half of them in the course of fierce firefights, and now he only has 7 SU-76s on hand, which is at most a battalion-level establishment. At the outbreak of the war, there were only a few old subordinates who followed him from the 14th Tank Division to the present, and there was less than a squad when they were full, including his own artillery commander Pavel.

"Boom" drove through the streets, parked the chariot at the corner of the street. Dzhugashvili got out of the car and went to the observation post to check: it was a difficult bone to gnaw, and the terrain could be clearly seen through the telescope, and it was impossible for the infantry to take any method of "sticking to the wall" to sneak attack. And at the slightest movement, the artillery on the German positions opened fire, and it looked like it could be a 37-mm anti-tank gun, which is now used as a weapon to support the infantry.

The Germans also have a lot of mortars, and the roof of the target building is the tallest building in the vicinity, and there should be a lot of fire points on it, and the control range is very large!

The Red Army mortars were carrying disassembled 82-mm mortars up the stairs of their buildings, where they would later be used to suppress the German firing points on the top floors of the target.

The Germans had launched several night raids on the south side of the city, trying to recapture the center line of Lenin Avenue and reconnect the divided troops on both sides, but without success. Street fighting went on and on, and several buildings changed hands several times in two hours!

The German commander in the area of Inner Menchine will understand that it will be difficult to regain the fate of the division on his own, but he still has enough chips in his hands - hold the position, delay time, and wait for reinforcements from Vilnius!

Now that the whole city has become a fortress, Minsk will be able to fight for a few months, and the Germans are confident that they will hold on to the town for a few days, and then they will have a chance. Nemenchny was surrounded by the Red Army on both sides, but it was supported by German artillery fire on the south bank of the Nereis River, and there were troops who came to relieve the siege, plus the bombing of the air force, the Germans themselves seemed to have a chance to counter-encircle and eat all the advancing Soviets!

Hold your ground and wait for reinforcements!

At 19:40 at night, two self-propelled howitzers with huge barrels drove from the direction of Lenin Prospect, and the knowledgeable soldiers recognized at a glance that the cannons above them were 152 mm big guys!

Stocky shape, the thickness of the steel plate can be roughly seen from the edge of the weld, and the thickness is amazing! The asphalt pavement is dug up by the tracks, and the weight of that big guy is terrifying!

Everyone was in their positions and waited for the artillery fire to be ready.

In the explosion that rang out from time to time and the dense gunfire in the distance, a sudden huge roar came overwhelmingly, and then the dense explosion exploded around the target, as dense as machine gun fire!

That's the roar of "Katyusha"! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
