The three of them were feeling the war, and the commander of the armored tow car parked nearby bared his head and shouted: "There is a communication!" ”

Hans immediately jumped up, walked to the side of the car in three steps, climbed into the car quickly, and took the headphones and microphone from the commander.

"I'm the commander here, please speak."

"The divisional artillery can provide you with thirty minutes of support, please provide the coordinates of the shelling and the artillery firing." There was an unfamiliar voice coming from the headphones, the volume was very low, and it was often drowned out by the rustle, but it was still possible to hear what was being said.

"Please fire directly at the village where we were stationed, it is full of Russian troops, and you can kill a bunch of people by throwing a shell into it. Complete. ”

There was silence on the radio for two seconds before a response came: "Understood, we will carry out a twenty-minute fire attack on the village, over." ”

"Understood. Complete. After saying that, Hans threw the microphone and headphones to the commander, jumped straight out of the car, and said to the two of them with his hands on his hips, "It's better to have artillery support than nothing." ”

"But artillery support is only twenty minutes, and what can be hit by twenty minutes of rapid fire?" Wolf shook his head, "When you went to the headquarters, you saw that the 155 guns in the division did not arrive, and now the 105 light guns pulled by jeeps are used." ”

"That's a cannon, isn't it?" James Horner seemed to have finally relented and began to complain about Wolf as usual.

At this time, the commander of the armored tow called out to Hans again: "This time it's the communication of the division headquarters, sergeant major." ”

Hans pursed his lips and climbed into the armored car again, and as soon as he said his current call sign into the microphone, the voice of the division commander came from the other end of the radio: "I ask you to hold out until four o'clock in the afternoon, and then you can retreat to Masovscheminsk." ”

"Are we retreating, Daddy?"

"Yes, that's it. The Russian army has invested so many troops that both the army group command and the high command believe that it is no longer possible to hold the current front, and we must shrink our defenses and concentrate our forces on holding Masovia and other outlying cities. ”

Hans was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "We know that as long as we have people, we will hold out until four o'clock in the afternoon." Complete. ”

"It's up to you. Come to an end. ”

Hans Zimmer jumped out of the car, then reached for his pocket watch, touched it twice but didn't find it.

"Damn, where's my pocket watch?"

He touched all his pockets before slapping his head suddenly: "Damn, I put my pocket watch on the table of the boarder when I took a shower last night!" Damn, who still has a watch in their hands? ”

Hans opened his throat and asked, and everyone looked at each other, when a sergeant replied, "Only officers have watches." Not everyone has the opportunity to loot hapless fallen officers. ”

Hans's pocket watch was indeed obtained from a British officer.

"There should be a table on the armored car." James said, "Maybe we should ask them." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the armored tow vehicle, who had been listening to the conversation, said, "Yes, but in the destroyed car over there." ”

Hans muttered "Damn", and at that moment there was the sound of cannonballs flying in the sky. Several of the soldiers of the baggage battalion who came to support were so frightened that they immediately drilled into the trenches, but the other armored hunter veterans were smoking leisurely.

Most of the veterans have experienced the war on the Western Front, and they have long practiced the ability to listen to the sound of shells to determine whether they have fallen on them.

Some veterans even stood up, craned their necks and began to look at the villages occupied by the Russians during night raids, looking like they were watching a good show.

Then the shells fell.

"Is the explosion of the 105 cannon so fierce?" Wolf put his hand on the pergola and looked out at the village, "The sand and stones thrown into the sky are three or four stories high, right?" The 155 guns in the division have arrived? ”

"It feels like 210 guns," muttered a technical sergeant sitting near them, "and perhaps the artillery units of the army group have joined us in fire support." ”

"That's great, blow them up!"

As if to echo Wolff's shout, more shells fell on the head and face. It can be found that there is a clear difference in the height of the smoke and dust raised by the shells, and it is obvious that the artillery of different calibers deployed in various places is unified and bombarded at the same time.

Soon the whole village was shrouded in smoke and dust raised by the shelling, and it was completely invisible.

"It's so emotional!"

"Blow them up!"

The German soldiers cheered, everyone smiled, and the fatigue and solemnity of the fierce battle just now were almost swept away.

Hans also took out the telescope captured from the Russian officer, observed it excitedly, and from time to time loudly reported what he saw: "Damn, that jeep was blown up to the roof!" ”

"What? Let me see. Wolf reached out and snatched Hans's binoculars, "Really, damn it, we really blew up the jeep we left behind on the roof, this is definitely the 210 guns of the group army." Now the Russians can stand it. ”

"The Polish people who stayed in the village could bear it enough." James said this suddenly, and the joyful atmosphere on the German position disappeared in an instant, and the expressions of everyone in the baggage battalion who had only come to support this morning were fine, but the expressions of the German soldiers who had entered the village before the night attack of the Russian army yesterday all dimmed, and they looked very solemn.

With such ferocious artillery fire, the Russian army will definitely pay heavy casualties, but the Polish people who remained in the village will not be spared, although many Poles have moved to the rear after the Russian invasion began, but there are thousands of Poles left in the village, to say the least. After the Germans recaptured the village last night, they provided the Germans with a series of support such as lodging and bathing, believing that the Germans would continue to protect them.

Although the artillery fire continued, the German soldiers all returned to the trenches and sat down and began to smoke cigarettes.

"It's war." Hans deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear it, "We already feel it." The remaining question is how to make it as kuài as possible. That's what we're fighting for. Isn't it? ”

"JA (pronounced like 'Ya')." Wolf replied with a simple German word.

Then the other German soldiers let out a ragged response.

**

After the shelling, the Russian army was probably blinded all at once, and it did not attack again for a long time, until the sun passed over everyone's heads, and the Russian skirmish line appeared again in Hanstimmer's telescope.

"Prepare for battle!" Hans shouted loudly, beckoning to the soldiers who were hurrying to catch up on sleep, "The Russians are coming!" ”

The originally dead silence suddenly became busy.

Wolf pointed the machine gun he had just captured at the enemy, pulled the bolt hard, prepared to fire, and then whispered to James beside him: "Why didn't the Russians attack this time?" ”

"Maybe their artillery is going to support an attack from somewhere else, maybe the round of artillery fire just took out their artillery observation post in the village, maybe the air force found their artillery position and sent it to the sky, who knows." James resumed his usual tone, "Isn't it bad that there is no shelling?" Shut your mouth and just beat the Russians away. ”

"Okay, okay, you're right."

At this time, Hans, who had been observing the enemy with a telescope, exclaimed: "Spot the enemy's advancing rifle artillery, artillery aiming!" Don't let them shoot at close range! ”

Most of the infantry of the armored hunters are trained in simple artillery use, and it may not be possible to calculate the trajectory of the projectile, but it is still very slippery to shoot directly at the artillery with artillery.

As soon as Hans's order was given, the sergeant commanding the temporary artillery group shouted the command and aimed the artillery at the Russian artillery group, which was slowly advancing in the mud.

"Put!"

As the cannon rang out, Wolf craned his neck, only to see that the shells had only raised a small cloud of dust in front of the Russian artillerymen.

"What's going on? Dud? Wolf turned his head to look at the improvised German artillery crew.

Hans also put down his binoculars, turned his head and shouted to the sergeant, "What happened? The shell apparently didn't explode! ”

"I'm sorry, Sergeant Major," the sergeant shrugged at Hans, "we don't know English and Russian, and we don't know which is a grenade and which is a solid anti-armor shell without a try." The next shot may explode. ”

That's when the loader shouted, "Reloaded." ”

"Put!" The sergeant immediately ordered.

The muzzle of the artillery again emitted a large puff of white smoke.

This time the Russians tasted the explosion, the shells fell directly behind the advancing Russian artillery crew, blowing up the Russian troops carrying the shell boxes directly to the ground, but did not cause a chain explosion of the shells.

"Well played brothers." Hans's voice was slightly excited, "Keep loading and fire at them!" ”

But at this time, flashes and white smoke came out of the direction of the Russian front, and then the shells fell near the improvised artillery group of the German army.

The raised sand and gravel smashed into Wolf's back, causing him to curse twice.

The Russian army continued to open fire, and shells continued to fall near the makeshift artillery group.

The sergeant shouted the command, trying to keep the soldiers of the makeshift artillery crew calm with his shouting, so that the cannon continued to fire at the advancing enemy artillery crew.

Almost at the same time that the Germans hit the advancing Russian artillery, a Russian artillery shot landed next to the sergeant who was commanding, and directly blew him up.

"Change positions! Fast! Hans shouted to the makeshift artillery crew, "Drag the cannon down and into another position we have just chosen, quick!" ”

Wolf reminded Hans in a loud voice: "The Russians' skirmish line is only three hundred meters away from us!" ”

"Steady! Put it to 150 meters and hit it again. Priority is given to those with machine guns. ”

"Understood."

Wolf pulled the bolt again to confirm the inside of the bolt, then he took a deep breath and aimed the machine gun at the man carrying the machine gun in the second row of Russian skirmishers.

Suddenly, Wolf heard someone shouting, "Oh my God, that's the Magic Armor!" ”

Before the words fell, the shells flying from the side landed in the line of the Russian skirmishers.

Wolf looked in the direction the shell was flying and saw several pieces of magic armor coming down the hill to the south as they fired.

"It's weird," Wolf muttered, "why don't those four armors look like one standard?" The height is not the same! ”

Hans looked at the armor with a telescope, and after a moment excitedly shouted, "That's the Polish armor!" It's our magic armor! ”

"The Russians have retreated!" Someone shouted excitedly.

The Russian skirmishers retreated in the direction of the Overseers, who did not fire this time - they were busy running towards the bombed-out villages.

Soon, the armor with the insignia of the Polish army and Hans joined them, and the German-made armor with the captain's emblem on his arm asked with a megaphone: "Who is the commander?" ”

"I am." Hans stood up and waved.

"How long have you been ordered to hold on?"

"Four o'clock, miss."

"Very well, then you can retreat now, and we'll stay here until four o'clock."

"Thank you, miss." Hans saluted the Wizard Armor, then turned and waved his hands, "Alright, you all heard, get in the car!" The artillery blew up that Russian gun! Let's go! ”

After saying that, he turned around and saluted the magic armor again, and said respectfully, "We will wait for you young ladies at the meeting point." ”
