Chapter 559: Marshal Offensive 9 - Hand-to-hand combat
The jeep jumped up and down to the edge of Soromadin before stopping, and the second lieutenant who led the team was the first to jump out of the car, "How is the injury?" Comrade pilot. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" leaned down to see the pilot's injury.
Very young, apparently a young man who had just graduated from a military school - patronized to look at the leg of the wounded.
"Just scratched it, no big problem." Only then did Solomartin stretch out his hand, "Alexei Solomartin, Deputy Captain of the Majors of the Third Brigade of the 1st Guards Annihilation Division and the 1st Regiment. ”
"Alexei Artu, Second Lieutenant Staff Officer, Logistics Department of the 144th Infantry Division." The young lieutenant gave the pilot a military salute before shaking hands, "We'll take you to the field hospital, which is on the farm 3 kilometers away." ”
With the help of two of his own men, Solomartin got into the Jeep and saw that the back of the car was empty and the seats were removed.
Squatting behind the pilot, he said slightly: "I just pulled the cart shells for the front, the transporter is not enough, everyone and the body are used, and the ammunition consumption on the front line is very large." ”
In fact, there is no need for a second lieutenant to say, just listening to the intensive shelling and gunfire can know how fierce the battle is, the 144th Division changed positions overnight, and this ammunition supply can crush the logistics!
Pointing to the plane a few dozen meters away: "Major, what should it do?" ”
Nagallagh is still lying in the snow, and the mark of the forced landing is very eye-catching: the plane is a precious possession that cannot be easily discarded.
"Scrapped, the engine is reimbursed. Just throw it here first, and come back and disassemble the parts when the battle is over. ”
As soon as he heard what the major said, Attu was worthy of being a logistics officer, took out a map from his briefcase and marked the crash site with a pencil - it was obviously impossible for the pilot to come back and dismantle it, so he handed it over to himself. There are many parts and components on a fighter plane that can be used, even if it is handsome, it has to be dismantled, let alone such a successful forced landing - it can't be wasted.

The Sven Jonis field airfield, the current airfield of the Red Army closest to the front line.
There are no runways in the ordinary sense of the word, just a large area of roughly cleared snow-covered flatland. If it is in the spring, it is a very flat meadow, and before the war, it was to be used as a field airfield: such "field airfields" are dotted in the western plains, and they are all "strategic preparations", but before the war they were used as pastures for farms.
A strike aircraft brigade stationed in Svenjonis had all been dispatched, and there was no machinery on the airfield except for ammunition trucks and fuel tankers that were lined up on one side. The people at the airport were all looking forward to it, and some people kept shouting at the people on the tall wooden lookout post, "Did you find it?" ": This is the plain, and the people at the lookout post can see very far away.
Two anti-aircraft platoons of anti-aircraft machine guns were scattered around the airfield, and the commanders there had to pay more attention to the situation in the air than anyone else at the airfield: German planes could bomb it at any time, and their own planes could appear at any time - who made this place closest to the front line! If there is an injured plane to choose an airport for a forced landing, then Shwin Jonis is the first choice.
We must also pay attention to air defense, and we must ensure that we cannot beat our own people as Germans! - At least half of the pilots do not use the intercom when they land, and this is a first-line airport, and anything can happen.
Observers at the lookout post could even see small black dots and smoke clouds in the air dozens of kilometers away with high-powered telescopes, and pilots at high altitude could also see the situation here if they were attentive, but they could not see the ground as clearly as they could see from the unobstructed sky.
"Here's one! Stand-alone single shot, it should be your own person! ”
The observer shouted to the bottom - draw a circle, a single plane, it will not be a German. Wait a little closer, and see the huge red star on the hanging tail: "It's a lager fighter!" ”
The people at the airport saw a fighter jet approach with standard landing steps, landing smoothly on the airfield, with only a slight jump when the wheels hit the ground. Before the plane could stop a group, a group of people ran over, two of them carrying stretchers - needless to say, the fighters who landed here were either injured or the pilots were injured!
When they ran to the side of the plane and saw more than a dozen red stars under the cockpit canopy, the comrades knew that this was a combat hero. But soon, a situation arose that made the comrades unable to turn around all at once!
"Female?!"
The pilot who opened the canopy was a woman!
Lilia opened the cockpit canopy, took off her flight cap and put it on the seat, half-turned around and took out her military hat from the small lattice on the back of the bulletproof seat and put it on, before she was ready to jump off the plane. The comrades saw clearly that it was a female pilot, and the officer leading the team hurriedly asked: "Lieutenant Lilia Litwiak?" ”
"It's me, hello, Comrade Captain."
More than a dozen red stars, who else would it be if it wasn't for Lilia?! The fame of the world's first air queen card was thunderous at all the airfields of the Red Army.
"The left wing is penetrated, there is not enough fuel to return to Minsk, and there may also be problems with the load-bearing structure of the wing. Comrade Captain, can you repair plywood wings and fuel tanks here? Lilia walked over to the left wing of her plane, checked on her injuries, and asked the captain.
It's good that the people are okay, the comrades at the airport are quite well-trained, and they didn't all gather around, including the medical team carrying the stretcher, and they all walked to the waiting area after seeing the pilot get out of the cockpit by himself.
Only then did the comrades' attention focus on the wing on the other side - they didn't know if they didn't look at it, and they were startled when they saw it! The polyester plywood was torn into strips, like a radioactive blast! The irregular hole is bigger than a basin, and you can see the frame inside!
Dangerous, really dangerous!
The surprise turned into real admiration, and the captain asked a sergeant major next to him very seriously: "Lavnianko, do you see if it can be repaired?" ”
The sergeant major didn't answer, but carefully inspected the wings from both sides, and leaned down to the underside of the wings to study for a while before getting out, "Start work now, and we can fix it by noon tomorrow." ”
Now Lilia let go of a stone in her heart.
"Lavnenko is our mechanical team leader, we also have good carpenters and lacquerers, and there are also aviation plywood in the warehouse, and he said that if it can be repaired, it will definitely be repaired, rest assured!"
beckoned everyone to push the plane to the humble repair workshop dozens of meters away, and Lilia also went up to help, but the comrades did not let the heroine do the rough work.
"By the way, Captain, my long plane made a forced landing about 30 kilometers away, and when I was in the sky, I saw that there were our men to the rescue. He may call here and ask you to speak to the attendant. ”
"Your long plane?"
"Well, he was wounded a little, "Hero of the Soviet Union" Major Alexei Solomartin. ”
The captain was embarrassed to ask: why do you two "Heroes of the Soviet Union" need to land abnormally, why are the Germans so powerful?!
"How's it going? We couldn't hear it well from the radio. He opted for a more euphemistic one.
"We blocked the German fighters, and the German bomber formations did not form an effective intensive bombing and were dispersed by us. The threat to our bombers and fighters should not be great, but the German fighters were very difficult, new models that we had never seen before, much more difficult to deal with than the 109. ”
Now the comrades understood most of it: no wonder this is the case!
However, everyone is still worried about the planes at their airports: Comrade Lilia said that it was "difficult", and it must be difficult to deal with.
、、、、、、
In the north of the inner city of Neimenchi, the fiercest battles are breaking out here! The explosion of shells and aerial bombs was as dense as machine gun fire, and it seemed that the artillery of the whole world was shelling this area!
After two hours of fierce fighting under the cover of artillery fire, the assault vanguard finally reached the outskirts of the city! However, the situation was very difficult, and the Germans attacked on three sides, especially on the right flank, and the Wehrmacht launched wave after wave of charges, trying to cut off the Red Army's advance troops!
On the right flank, the most brutal fierce battles broke out in every ruined fortification and building - the Germans understood that once the Soviets occupied the middle of the city and thus divided the entire Nemenchny area, the people on the south bank of the Nerees could only watch themselves destroyed!
The whole battalion and the whole company of troops went up, and it didn't take long to be crippled, and both sides were fighting like beasts! Use all the weapons you can use! With a different, but equally firm belief in your heart, fight to the end and charge resolutely!
Time! It's time, which is just as precious for both sides - on the passage to Vilnius, the supporting German troops are fighting to the death with the Red Army acting as a blocker!
"For the sake of the Soviets, forward!" Such cries sounded again and again on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Red Army fought with weapons in their hands, with flesh and blood, and with the firm belief in destroying fascism and defending the motherland!
For the Germans, it is not necessary to say that they are fighting for Germany, as long as they know who the opponent in front of them is, it is enough for them to fight hard!
"The most assault-capable unit in the hands of Tukhachevsky" is secondary, because it was the 1st Guards Mechanized Division of the NKVD of the USSR! - "NKVD troops of the USSR" This can be said to be synonymous with the devil in the minds of German soldiers, if it falls into their hands, don't want to return home alive!
In the inner menchine, at the intersection of Lenin Avenue and Workers' Street, the Red Army front met with the fiercest resistance! The assault troops were pressed down on the street, flanked on both sides by four- or five-story stone and concrete buildings, very solid!
The commanders could only fight room by room, building by building - there was no time to wait for the artillery to come up, and waiting would give the Germans time to mobilize counter-assault forces from both flanks!
Originally, the long-range heavy artillery in the rear also provided support several times, but the speed of the troops' assault and the time of artillery support did not match, and a single shell fell on their own heads! Moreover, the way the buildings were deployed in relation to the German positions restricted the power of heavy artillery, unless it was a giant that could pierce several floors with a single shell!
"We need direct artillery support, we need direct artillery support!" A major commando battalion commander reported to the rear command over the intercom that they had run out of rockets, and that the casualty rate of those who needed to operate the bazookas in front of them had reached unbearable levels in such a fierce firefight!
"RIGHT BEHIND YOU, THREE SU-76 ARE ONLY TWO HUNDRED METERS AWAY FROM YOU! Coming soon! ”
In just two minutes, the fighters saw a SU-76 self-propelled cannon rush over the barricades on the street and rush straight at it with a bang! It is less than 300 meters from the building occupied by the Germans!
(I forgot to mention yesterday: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) (To be continued.) )
