Chapter 58 Positional Warfare (Part 2) When a row and two rows of soldiers rushed into the position one after another and started close combat with the German army in the first trench, the German captain staying in the command post was not worried at all. Because in his memory, these Russians who rushed in were usually a group of people holding Mosin Nagant rifles, crowded in a narrow trench, shouting and rushing aimlessly, as long as they The soldiers rushed out and fired a burst of submachine guns to knock them all down. But he soon discovered that something was wrong. These Russians, who he thought were vulnerable, were so well equipped. Almost everyone had a submachine gun, and each squad was equipped with a machine gun. His own people just jumped out of their hiding places. , Before he could pull the trigger, he was smashed into a sieve by random guns. Therefore, he had to ask the regiment headquarters for help and artillery support. In order to prevent being accidentally injured by his own artillery fire, he ordered the surviving soldiers to retreat and hide in the concealed department. However, the shelling by the German regiment headquarters lasted only two or three minutes, and then ended hastily, whether it was because they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people or because of insufficient ammunition. As soon as the shelling stopped, the German captain found sadly that the shelling that had just ended not only failed to contain the Russian attack, but made the situation worse. Those Russians who he thought would be wiped out in the artillery fire actually took the opportunity to occupy the communication trench that he had withdrawn from the defense; on the ground, there were also a group of Russians in civilian clothes rushing aggressively towards his position. He remembered that two days ago, a Russian cavalry force of more than 2,000 people launched five consecutive strong attacks on his position, but all of them ended in failure. In the end, they left five or six hundred corpses in front of the position. Withdrew. He didn't know what went wrong. Why did the Russians break through their positions so easily today? Seeing the Soviet attacking force getting closer and closer to the headquarters, a corporal panicked and said to the captain: "Mr. Captain, there are too many Russians rushing over. We can't stand it anymore, so we should retreat?" "No." Although the captain was also terrified in the face of the Soviet commanders rushing over, he still bite the bullet and said, "You must not abandon this position until you get an order, otherwise the Russians will cross from us." Cross the Lama River and head northeast of Volokramsk." After a pause, he asked again, "How many of us are left?" "Less than forty people." The corporal said with a mournful face: "Mr. Captain, we can't hold our position with just this strength. If we continue to fight, we will only be wiped out." Hearing that there was only this little force left, the captain couldn't help but panicked. He didn't expect that his men would be wiped out so soon. But he rejected the corporal's suggestion to retreat again: "No, our army is in close combat with the Russians. If we retreat at this time, the Russians will definitely catch up, and none of us will be able to escape." Then, he pushed the corporal's back with his hand, "Go and hold me back, no one is allowed to retreat without my order."
Lin Hua, who was staying in the first trench, saw that the resistance of the German army had become sparse, and felt that it was the end of the battle. He quickly shouted at the soldiers around him: "Follow me!" Dash forward along the nearest traffic trench. Seeing that the company commander was leading the charge forward, several soldiers standing around hurriedly followed. Lin Hua was stumbling forward along the traffic trench when suddenly a German soldier with a Mauser rifle appeared from nowhere. Lin Hua instinctively moved his body to the side, and then pulled the trigger towards the opponent, but the gun did not fire. Just as he was watching the German aiming his gun at him, suddenly two submachine guns fired against his cheeks, scaring him down to the ground. Above his head, two fighters squeezed the trigger and fired the clips full of bullets like a race. After the two soldiers beat the German soldier into a pile of rotten meat, they lowered their heads and asked Lin Hua while changing the magazine: "Comrade company commander, are you all right?" Lin Hua murmured to himself: I have never seen someone shoot someone close to the cheek. I was almost scared to death by the two of you. But anyway, these two fighters saved his life, so Lin Hua looked up at them, shook his head, and said gratefully: "I'm fine! Thank you, thank you for saving my life!" He lowered his head to check the weapon, and found that the bullets had run out at some point. He quickly put on a new magazine, stood up again and said to the soldiers standing beside him, "Let's go!" He is still at the forefront of the entire team this time. After walking another seventy or eighty meters along the traffic trench, a person suddenly appeared from the side road, and Lin Hua instinctively turned his gun. But when he found that it was Vanya, he quickly moved the gun away and asked, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, how is the situation?" Since it was on the battlefield, Vanya didn't salute Lin Hua, and replied directly: "About a dozen German soldiers were trapped in a bunker by us. Their firepower was so fierce that our men couldn't get through. Instead, seven or eight soldiers were killed or injured." Hearing that a group of German soldiers were trapped in the bunker, Lin Hua quickly shook his head at Vanya and said, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, take me to have a look." Vanya led Lin Hua into the traffic trench he just came out of. After walking forward for more than 30 meters, he stopped, pointed to the corner, and said, "Comrade company commander, the enemy's hidden unit Just at the corner, the enemy's firepower can block the entire traffic trench, and our soldiers will be knocked down by random guns as soon as they rush over." Lin Hua looked at the soldiers hiding nearby, then at the corner in front, and asked, "Is the exit of the hiding place higher than the ground or lower?" Vanya did not expect that Lin Hua would suddenly ask such a question, and after a moment of hesitation, he replied: "Comrade company commander, the exit of the shelter is in the traffic trench." "Since it's in the traffic trench," Lin Hua waited for Vanya to finish speaking, and then continued, "Send two soldiers across the trench to the top of the shelter, and throw two grenades at the entrance, won't you finish them off? ?” "That's right, that's a good way." Vanya called two soldiers and ordered them to cross the trench from another area, then go to the top of the shelter and throw a grenade at the hole below. Not long after, there was a dull sound of grenade explosions around the corner. It was the soldiers sent by Vanya who threw a few grenades into the hiding place where the German army was hiding. As soon as the gunpowder smoke cleared, Vanya immediately sent someone to rush in and **** out several surviving German soldiers from the bunker, as well as a German captain who was stunned by the explosion.
