The power of the wooden-handled grenade was so small that using it against a tank was not much like tickling, so angry that the company commander shouted repeatedly: "Molotov cocktail, Molotov cocktail." ”

With the shouts of a company commander, a dozen bottles glittering in the sun flew out of the trenches, and they tumbled in the air and smashed into the two tanks. At the sound of the bottle shattering, the part where the two tanks were hit by the bottle immediately flashed fire. The flames, which were not very large at first, quickly expanded in the wind brought by the two tanks, and suddenly became one with a "sudden" sound.

The two tanks that were speeding away were visibly stunned, apparently the driver inside was a little flustered by the sudden fire, and one of the tanks even turned around and tried to escape down the mountain. It didn't matter what he turned, he was hit by the rear of the car with Molotov cocktails flying one after another, the engine, gearbox and fuel tank of the tank were all here, and the fire of this tank immediately expanded rapidly, and the tank driver stopped the tank in panic, opened the lid and jumped out. Before he could hit the ground, he was shot into a hornet's nest by an excited company of soldiers.

After the initial panic, the driver of the other tank did not choose to flee like the other tank, but roared again and continued to rush towards the top of the hill with a full body of flames. Several fighters in the platoon facing the tank were stunned by the tank rushing towards it with flames, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The platoon leader didn't have time to say much, grabbed a bundle of cluster grenades, pulled the fuse, and threw it with both hands at the tank more than ten meters away. Although it was thrown from a height, the dozen or so bundled grenades were too heavy, and a long line of cluster grenades fell to the ground in front of the tank. However, at this time, the fire of the tank was already very large, and the smoke from the burning obscured the vision of the Soviet tank driver, who did not see the bundle of cluster grenades, and drove the tank directly on. Only a "boom" was heard, the tracks of the tank were blown open, and the load-bearing wheels of the tank, after a piercing sound of metal rubbing, the body was crooked, and it lay less than ten meters in front of the trench, and never moved again.

Because the fire of the first company was inevitably weakened because of the concentration of forces against the two tanks, the Soviets took this opportunity to approach the position, and after throwing a row of grenades into the position, the Soviets who were charging behind the tanks took the opportunity to rush to the position first.

The positions of the first company and platoon were broken through, and soon the breakthrough was like a rapid expansion on both sides, the defensive line could no longer be maintained, and the first company had to withdraw from the trench with all its company, and the brutal hand-to-hand combat began.

Although the Soviets attacked a battalion of more than 500 people, they suffered a lot of casualties during mortar shelling, and after approaching the hilltop position, they were shot and killed by a company's light and heavy weapons, so the Soviets who finally rushed to the position were only more than 300 people, which was not much different from the number of a company. However, since the Soviets were the first to break through the positions of the first row, the number of Soviet troops in the vicinity of the first row of positions was relatively superior. In particular, the strange stabbing method of the Soviet army made it difficult for the soldiers in a platoon to adapt for a while.

The bayonets of the armies of all countries in the world are fixed under the barrel of the rifle, while the bayonet of the Soviet army at this time is mounted on the top of the barrel, and the bayonet is cut on one side and rushes forward. When the [***] teams fought with stabs, they mainly stabbed and chopped, while the Soviet army was more accustomed to picking thorns. The Soviet army was tall and powerful, and as soon as the two armies started hand-to-hand combat, the rifles of several soldiers in a row were picked up by the Soviet army, and then the personnel were stabbed down or even picked to fly. A company was killed by the Soviets and retreated step by step, and the situation was very dangerous.

As soon as the Soviet troops rushed to the top of the mountain, Shi Ming took a company of deputy and a mixed unit of direct personnel and guard platoon organized by him to kill him from the shelter department. Seeing that his soldiers had suffered a big loss, Wang Dahu stared at his reddened eyes and shouted loudly that Cui Xiaomao protected Shi Ming, while he himself shouted and killed him with his troops.

First of all, dozens of submachine guns of the guard platoon swept at the Soviet troops who rushed to the top of the mountain in the follow-up, and the Soviet troops were immediately knocked down in a large area, and under the loud order of a Soviet officer, a group of Soviet troops was separated from the battlefield that was being fought and pounced on Wang Dahu and others.

The first company mate first met a big Soviet soldier, this Soviet soldier was tall and had long arms, and the first company thought that this Soviet soldier would take advantage of his height advantage, and suddenly stepped forward and stabbed, and was already ready to block. However, he didn't expect that the Soviet soldier did not make a sudden stab as he thought, but took a small step, lowered the rifle in his hand, and suddenly picked it up at Wang Dahu's lower abdomen.

Although Wang Dahu was a little surprised by the strange behavior of the Soviet soldiers, Wang Dahu was a person with a foundation in martial arts, so he did not retreat to dodge, but instead smashed the 38 guns in his hand into the bayonets of the Soviet soldiers. Before he could stand firmly, the bayonets of the two soldiers who followed Wang Dahu had already pierced into the ribs of the Soviet army. Wang Dahu shouted, kicked away the already exhausted Soviet army, and led the team to kill the Soviet army.

At this time, more than 500 reinforcements were also killed from the core fortifications. The company, which had already stabilized its position, gradually adapted to the Soviet army's way of stabbing and had the support of Wang Dahu, and had begun to slowly gain the upper hand in the stabbing process. As soon as reinforcements arrived, under the attack of bayonets and pistols, the Soviet troops were slowly squeezed together, and if they continued to fight, it would only be a matter of time before the whole army was destroyed.

In the intelligence of the Soviet army, there was only one reinforced company on this height, but I did not expect that there were more than 1,000 soldiers hidden on this height, and the Soviet commander had no choice but to command the remaining remnants of the defeated generals to escape down the mountain.

As soon as the battle ended, Shi Ming ordered the reinforcements of the core fortifications to immediately return to the core fortifications to cover the anti-artillery, and the first company cleaned up the battlefield as soon as possible to treat the wounded. And he himself hurriedly ran back to the command post of a company at the front, and at this moment, he was most concerned about the battle situation in Zalainor.

Since the Soviets had already occupied the first line of trenches in the last offensive, and most of the anti-tank trenches and internal trenches had been blown up and cleared, in this offensive, the Soviets easily broke through the defenses of the inner trenches and stormed into the urban area in the northeast corner of Zalainor, where they were engaged in fierce street battles with the Northeast Army. A large number of Soviet troops were still braving the not very heavy artillery fire of the Northeast Army, and entered Zhalainor through the gap.

It seems that the artillery fire of the Northeast Army suffered great losses in the shelling and air raids of the Soviet army, and if the Soviet troops are allowed to enter Zhalainor in large numbers at this time and gain a foothold, it is likely that Zarainuoer will not be able to hold out for two days. Shi Ming did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the machine gun company to block the breakthrough of the Soviet army and prevent the follow-up troops of the Soviet army from entering Zhalainor.

The accurate and dense artillery fire on the high ground effectively prevented the Soviet reinforcements, and Han Guangdi of Zha Lai Nuoer took this opportunity to transfer up the reserve and desperately counterattack the Soviet army, and after a hard battle, finally drove the Soviet army out of the city without timely reinforcements. However, the Soviets, like in the last offensive, did not abandon the trenches they occupied. This time, the Soviet troops who were counterattacked did not retreat, but occupied the inner trench, and with the cooperation of artillery fire from the rear, not only confronted the Northeast Army, but also expanded their breakthrough along the inner trench to both sides. For the Soviet troops in the trenches, Shi Ming's mortars basically did not help, and this could only rely on the Northeast Army itself.

The trenches near the ridge line on the high ground have basically been blown up, and if he continues to hold the trenches, the casualties will definitely be very large, and Shi Ming has to abandon the position of the first company. It's just that the location of the observation command post of the first company is important, where it is possible to observe almost the whole picture of Zalainor, which needs fire support from the heights. Shi Ming gritted his teeth and asked a company to leave a platoon to hold this observation and command post, and the rest of the troops all withdrew to the core position.

Returning to the core position, Shi Ming didn't have time to take a breath, and immediately asked each company to report the casualties and battle statistics. After reading the casualty report, Shi Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

The 1st Company withstood two rounds of Soviet assault because of its holding on to the trenches on the ridge line, and the 1st Company was also the main force in hand-to-hand combat just now, and their casualties were the largest, with 54 killed in the whole company, 28 seriously wounded, and 65 lightly wounded. The casualties of the other companies were much smaller and almost negligible. The machine gun company lost three people and one mortar; The other companies lost two people killed and five were slightly wounded. A total of 385 Soviet soldiers were killed, and 9 Soviet soldiers were wounded and captured.

Although it is a positional offensive and defensive battle, the defending side has to take a big advantage, but the 1:6 stronger kill ratio is still very amazing, which still does not count the 60 or so people killed by the Soviet army in the first attack, because the casualties of a company at that time are completely negligible.

Shi Ming couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that the Fourth Route Army's super combat effectiveness, more than half of the dead in the first company appeared in hand-to-hand combat, this was in the initial hand-to-hand combat, the Soviet army had an advantage in local personnel, especially the first company was very unsuitable for the Soviet army's habit of stabbing and suffered some losses. However, as soon as they stabilized their positions and the power of the group's coordination tactics was brought into play, the Soviets were no match for them. In hand-to-hand combat, even if you don't count the Soviet soldiers who were killed by pistols, there were 166 Soviet soldiers who were stabbed to death, and the Soviet troops killed in hand-to-hand combat were at least three times their own losses.

The three core fortifications are basically intact, only the ice wall outside the eastern fortifications has been blown open by bombs dropped by planes, a large hole 3 meters wide, and now it has begun to be repaired, as long as it is poured a few more times, it is estimated that it will soon be restored to its original state.

It was not until after two o'clock in the afternoon that the Soviets launched a third offensive with the cooperation of aircraft and heavy artillery. Shi Ming estimated that this was the Soviet army adjusting its deployment and delaying the time, but the longer the adjustment, the more fierce and cruel the next battle would be.
