There was an eerie silence, just before the collective farm, and the Soviet soldiers had slowly stood up, their Mosin Nagant rifles already pointed in front of them, because with the order of the infantry company commander behind them, they had already begun to prepare for the attack, just waiting for the final order to attack.

Mountain guns and heavy machine guns were ready, boxes of bullets and shells had been moved to the blast pits dug behind them, and the first group of soldiers had dug a shallow lying firing crater with bayonets, ready to suppress the fire after the heavy fire, and then as the first wave of attacking force, quickly rushed forward.

This is the most dangerous time, even the Red Army soldiers in the collective farm are equally dignified, the Mosin Nagant rifle in their hands is aimed at the front, hundreds of meters away, a figure is only the size of a small black dot in their eyes, but the rifle with an effective range of eight or nine hundred meters does not care how far it is.

"It's almost time."

Squinting slightly, Li Yu looked through the telescope at the hills in front of him, countless figures began to move slightly, and he could understand that this was the prelude to the preparation before the attack. With a slight wave of his hand, he quickly said to a Red Army soldier next to him: "Be prepared for defense, be careful of the enemy's heavy fire and artillery." ”

"Understood." The surrounding Red Army soldiers were ready, shallow communication trenches had been dug into the entire collective farm room, and a Red Army soldier was on standby every distance to pass Li Yu's orders to ensure that the entire battlefield situation could quickly respond accordingly.

In particular, the "Deggalev" DP turntable light machine gun that was originally on the roof has also given up the condescending attack environment, and has instead moved into the improvised firing fortifications built with sandbags in the interior of the room or in the corner of the wall. Although it was still unable to defend itself against prolonged artillery and heavy machine gun fire, it was much stronger than the fragile wood and planks, and the seemingly sturdy but actually fragile red brick walls.

"If nothing else, the opposite side should be artillery preparations."

Looking at Li Yu, one of the Red Army soldiers obviously knew a lot, his face was a little solemn, and he said slowly to Li Yu: "There are two mountain guns and three heavy machine guns on the opposite side, plus five light machine guns, which can achieve instant fire suppression, making it completely impossible for us to carry out effective counterattacks. ”

"I know, it's really bad."

Li Yu nodded and knelt lightly behind the window, he looked at the Soviet soldiers outside who had slowly stopped and had re-transformed into a neat formation, and couldn't help frowning tightly and said, "If we have time, we can dig trenches." After a pause, he showed a wry smile: "And what we lack most now is time." ”

That group of enemies came too quickly, and too suddenly, so that Li Yu didn't react at all, and he had already found that they seemed to have been surrounded by that group of enemies. What's more, Li Yu also knows quite well that if they give up this collective farm and prepare to forcibly break through, I am afraid that they will also fall into the other party's idea.

The two-legged one can never catch up with the four-legged one, especially for the current era when the cavalry still has a certain role, just in the surrounding area except for the small hill is relatively flat, the collision between the infantry and the cavalry is simply not too touching, and only a hundred cavalry will be needed at that time, I am afraid that they will be able to collapse all of them, or all of them will fight to the death.

Li Yu knew very well that the horses under the cavalry were all Don hippos produced in the Soviet Union, this kind of horse breed crossed with Gudon hippos, with Arab war horses, French thoroughbreds, steppe horses and other horse breeds, whether it is hard-working or charged, and even tenacious vitality and endurance for pain, it is the best choice.

With just a few bullets, if they don't hit the vital point of the war horse, I am afraid that it will stimulate their blood, make them more agile and powerful in a short period of time, and also let the infantry caught in the charge of the war horse really become fish on the chopping board, waiting for the cavalry riding on it to wield a saber to harvest them easily.

"Now, it's time to buy time."

Slowly bowing his head, Li Yu clutched his Mosin Nagant rifle, if he could give him half a day, whether it was digging a trench or leaving this place, it would give him peace of mind, but now, he should indeed face such a large number of enemies. Raising his head, he looked at the Soviet soldier in front of him and said slowly: "Then, come on." ”

"Bang-bang-"

But when he raised his head and looked ahead, two bright lights hundreds of meters away instantly lit up, his eyes shrank instantly, and the whole person quickly fell to the ground, and then in his ears was some kind of fast-moving object screaming and tearing the air, and at the same time, accompanied by the ** sound of the log above the roof turning into pieces, a series of explosions were sent out behind the room.

Some kind of heavy sound as if a hammer hitting the ground was also sounding, and on the seemingly heavy log walls and red brick walls, with the heavy sound, fist-sized openings quickly burst out, and even penetrated the room, directly outside the room behind him, bursting into flames!

The sound of frantic crackling echoed throughout the space, countless bullets tearing through the air and turning into a whooshing sound, and one cannonball after another exploded, shattering one wall after another. And the collective farm, which had always looked neat, was reduced to countless broken bricks, sawdust, flying dust, and imminent ruins with that deafening sound!

"The enemy is attacking!"

Almost all the Red Army soldiers had this idea in their minds, but in the face of the enemy's furious fire, they could only curl up and hide in the makeshift sandbags, clinging to their weapons, and there was no possibility of counterattacking at all!

The two 76mm mountain guns are still breathing the breath of death, and the thick smoke of gunpowder has filled the surroundings, as the artillery in the early stage of World War I, it is obviously no longer comparable with the current various types of artillery, but for the current infantry, it is still a lethal weapon, especially for the current Li Yubu with infantry as the main combat force!

The cannonball was fired instantly, and the metal containing the ferocious power tore through the air, cutting a graceful curve, and then slammed into the face of a makeshift fortification made of sandbags, only a bright fire appeared with the loud sound, and then countless pieces of rubble and broken logs suddenly flew in all directions!

But this is not the end, a dull sound is still transmitted in the air, in front of the Soviet M1905 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun, a 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun bullet is still screaming and tearing the air, and at the same time the already broken red brick wall is even more fragmented, with the loss of the structure, and then it collapses, leaking out most of the entire interior of the house!

And two or three Red Army soldiers had just crawled out of the rubble with difficulty, and the Mosinagan rifle in their hands had not yet been touched, and they fell backwards in an instant with that scream, and in the distance, it was already ready, and the "Deggalev" DP turntable light machine gun, which was an auxiliary means of fire suppression, had already opened fire, spilling bullets all around them and on their bodies.

"Their firepower is just too fierce!"

A Red Army soldier climbed in front of Li Yu with difficulty, his face covered with dust and sawdust, with solemnity and a little uneasiness, gritted his teeth tightly, aimed at Li Yu's ear and shouted loudly: "If we don't continue to launch a counterattack, Comrade Levsky, we will be completely passive!" ”

"Wait, we need a moment!"

Slowly raising his head, Li Yu shook his head a few times, and streams of dust kept falling with his movements, he quietly poked his head out, and through the tattered sandbags that had been beaten by machine gun bullets in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Tell the troops, be patient!" Endure until the end of the artillery fire on the opposite side! ”
