Chapter 37: The Enemy Appears
At 6 a.m., German artillery fire woke me up on time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the face of endless artillery fire, I am actually accustomed to it, if I can return to normal one day, can I still adapt to the days without guns?
"Phew"
"Comrade squad leader, are you afraid?"
A new Soviet soldier hugged his gun tightly and huddled next to me.
"I'm afraid, who is not afraid, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants when I went to the battlefield for the first time"
"Really? Tell us about it."
A bunch of recruits huddled around me, wanting to hear about me.
"Go, save me some face" I smiled and pushed them away, how dare I mention it to them about space.
Outside the anti-artillery bunker, the German shelling stopped, and I poked my head out to look out. In the thin mist, the figure of the German army loomed.
"The enemy is coming, let's go, God will bless you"
I checked the weapons and ammunition for them one by one, and my heart was a little heavy, and I was most afraid that I would be familiar with them, and I would not forget them if I was familiar with them.
The new soldiers under my command tried to puff up their chests, their eyes were full of excitement, I was slightly stunned, and silently patted them on the shoulder, hoping to survive a few more.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The Soviet observation post sounded the alarm, and I rushed out with my soldiers and went to the front.
Dust got in the binoculars, and vision was a little blurry. I took off the lenses, wiped them off with my clothes, put them on and looked at the Germans to try the effect. There are still some black spots in the lenses, but they barely work.
The Germans were somewhat cautious, the formation was wide, and a squad of 6 people in the German offensive formation caught my attention.
They were all white, and the weapons were not German guns, they were all American-style guns. The head was a bald guy who was nearly two meters tall. The bulging muscles in his arm were explosive, and the Thomson submachine gun was held in his hand like a child's toy.
"Blood wolf!"
Thinking of Luo Chen, my teeth creaked.
They were about 1800 meters from the front line of the Soviet troops, which was beyond the effective range of my sniper rifles.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The Soviet tank batteries opened fire, and the shells fell in the sparse crowd of German troops, with little success, and the marching Germans immediately fell to their stomachs, leaving only the armored units to continue advancing.
The Germans hung sandbags filled with sand and sawn logs in front of the tanks, and the Soviet tanks were hit by shells that blew up the most sawdust and dust, leaving the German tanks unharmed.
"Woo" "Boom"
A shell hit a tank near us, and fragments flew all over the sky, which was definitely a masterpiece of German heavy artillery.
I picked up the binoculars and searched the German troops, the long-range artillery was so accurate that the German artillery observers were absolutely lurking in the attacking troops. The Soviet tanks were hiding behind bunkers, and although they were protected, they also lost their maneuver and could only be lost in vain under the precision of artillery.
The German observers did not hide well, and the periscopes that rose in the low-lying area revealed their location.
"Go and report to the platoon commander, the German artillery observer is in the low-lying area on the left side of the German army, asking for artillery fire!"
I called a soldier and asked him to report to his superiors that the Soviet walkie-talkies had not yet been deployed to the squad level, and they could only use the most primitive methods.
"Woo" "Boom" "Boom"
Several shells fell into low-lying ground in an arc, periscope parts and fragments of human bodies flew out, and the German artillerymen were blind.
The German attack was more like a test, and about a division of German troops was about 800 meters away from the Soviet troops, and they never wanted to come forward. This strange phenomenon made me restless, and I always felt that there was some conspiracy of the German army.
"Cowards! Let's go back to Mom! ā
"Germans, go back!" ......
Soviet soldiers climbed out of the trenches, cursing, defiant, venting. Some even took off their pants and laughed and peed in the direction of the Germans.
"These little bunnies"
The Soviet officers did not stop them, and the commissars laughed on the side, turning a blind eye to these behaviors that damaged the appearance of the army.
"Flutter" "Bang"
A Soviet soldier fell back into the trench, and the soldiers on the side laughed and tried to help him, thinking that he had just stumbled and fell.
As soon as the shots rang out, I immediately retracted my head.
"Come back! There are snipers! ā
However, it was still too late, and several soldiers fell down with blood spurting, and there was panic in the trenches.
I raised my sniper rifle and looked for the German snipers. Low-lying land, no. In the abandoned tank, there is none. In the pile of corpses, there is still none.
Where the hell is it? I broke out in a cold sweat, and the more time passed, the more dangerous I became.
Wasn't he in the attacking force? I hurriedly turned up the magnification and searched farther away.
Finally found him! The sniper lay squarely on a tank 1,000 meters away, chewing gum in his mouth and smiling contemptuously. He was holding an exaggerated sniper rifle in his hand, which turned out to be a Soviet PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle. This gun has been clearly modified, with an 8x sniper scope added to it, which is almost like Barrett during World War II.
At this distance, I was not sure to hit him, my Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 sniper rifle could hit an enemy up to 1400 meters away, but I never tried. Long-distance sniping, the trajectory of the bullet is difficult to control under the influence of wind, temperature, and humidity. Unless I have undergone professional training, a "half-ass" like me can't do anything unless I'm lucky.
This German sniper was also supposed to be a blood wolf man, and as if sensing something, he moved the muzzle of the gun in my direction.
The strong sense of crisis made my limbs stiff, and I didn't want to give up this opportunity, and I bet he hadn't found out about me yet.
The muzzle of the PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle flashed, and I subconsciously lowered my head.
"Flutter" "Bang"
The bullet hit the dirt in front of me, and the sound of the gunshot was delayed for about a second to come, and a few small pebbles splashed into my eyes.
This is definitely a top sniper, and I can't fight back against him. Picking out the foreign body in the eye, the uncomfortable feeling is relieved. I didn't dare to stay here any longer, so I crawled back into the trench carefully.
"Boom" "Boom"
The sky sounded the sound of a passing train, and the Soviet soldiers in the trenches looked up at the sky curiously. My face changed drastically, and I quickly lay on the ground, covered my ears, and opened my mouth.
"Boom" "Boom"
All I felt was a shake and a lot of dirt hitting me.
I was a little aggrieved before I lost consciousness, as for pulling out the big killer of the train cannon?
................................................
The suffocation slowly woke me up, and I opened my mouth to breathe, but I was poured a mouthful of mud.
"Ahem"
I stood up and touched my ear, and I couldn't hear anything. Looking at the blood on my hands, I knew that my eardrum was broken, and something was wrong.
It was already dark, I don't know how long I was unconscious, I didn't dare to make a sound, who knew if the position behind the German train guns was still in the hands of the Soviets.
I kicked something under my feet, and quickly leaned over to check that it was the corpse of a Soviet soldier. Wipe the mud off his face, it's actually a recruit under me!
The fatal wound was in the chest, it looked like it was stabbed with a bayonet, and the ominous premonition was even stronger, and the position was indeed lost.
