German Lieutenant Frank led a platoon of soldiers through the Soviet positions outside Klyukovo at night, heading to the village of Klyukovo to search for the Soviet command headquarters deployed there and destroy it.
German soldiers wearing white camouflage uniforms cautiously approached the village under the cover of woods and snowdrifts. The corporal, who was leading several soldiers to explore the road, bent down and ran to Frank and reported to him: "Lieutenant
Sir, we have observed carefully and there is only one sentry at the entrance of the village."
"What, there's only one sentry?" After listening to the corporal's report, Frank couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If there was only one sentry at the entrance of the village, it proved that the level of the headquarters in the village was not too high. He took the risk of crossing with others.
Is it worthwhile to destroy only one regiment-level or even lower-level headquarters in the Russian defense line? Frank couldn't help but ponder.
Seeing that Frank remained silent, the corporal couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the village entrance, and then asked: "Mr. Lieutenant, what should we do next, should we still enter this village?"
"Corporal," Frank looked at the other party and asked: "What level do you think the Russian command headquarters in this village is, regiment level or battalion level? We ventured out of the city and passed through the Russian defense lines.
Do you think it’s worth just destroying one of their regiment headquarters or even their battalion headquarters?”
"Mr. Lieutenant, we are surrounded by Russians. Not to mention that their divisional headquarters is difficult to find. Even if we find it, it is probably heavily guarded. It may not be easy to succeed." Seeing that Frank was unwilling to take action, the corporal tried his best.
Persuaded him: "I think the command post in this village is not too tightly guarded. We can knock it out in the shortest time. By the time the Russian reinforcements arrive, we will have already moved."
After the corporal finished speaking, he was silent for a moment. Seeing that Frank was still hesitant, he quickly added: "Mr. Lieutenant, even if we only kill a battalion-level command post, we can still cause great chaos to the Russians."<
/p>
"Okay, Corporal." Frank felt that the Corporal's words were very reasonable. No matter what level of command post there was in the small village in front of him, they could be quickly knocked out and then quickly relocated, so he nodded and said
: "You first send people to kill the sentry at the entrance of the village, and then we rush in. The battle must be resolved in the shortest possible time."
The German corporal was an experienced veteran. He crept close to the sentry who was walking back and forth. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he jumped up from the ground, covered the other man's mouth with his hand, and then quickly swiped the dagger across the sentry's neck.
Blood spurted out from the open wound, dyeing the snow under his feet red.
The corporal slowly placed the sentry's body on the ground, wiped the blood off the sole of his boot with his dagger, and then made a gesture to the back. The German soldiers hidden a hundred meters away jumped up one after another, holding weapons in hand.
Rush towards the village entrance.
Just as they rushed into the village entrance, a burst of submachine gun fire pierced the silence of the night sky, and the first few German soldiers fell to the ground. They never dreamed that except for the clear sentries, the Soviet troops actually
A hidden sentry was also arranged. However, the Germans were well-trained and battle-hardened veterans after all. After a brief panic, they regained their composure. Frank left three German soldiers behind to suppress the ruins hidden by the hidden sentry, and
He took the remaining people with him and continued to rush towards the village.
When they rushed to be twenty or thirty meters away from the barn, the corporal pointed to the location of the barn with his hand and said to Frank: "Mr. Lieutenant, you see a light coming out of that wooden house. It must belong to the Russians."
Command."
Hearing that the barn in front might be a Russian command post, Frank immediately ordered everyone to open fire on the barn. As the order was issued, there was a dense sound of gunfire. Machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles fired at the same time.
There are countless small holes in the wooden plank walls of the barn.
Several soldiers who opened the wooden door of the barn and were about to rush out immediately fell to the ground. The remaining soldiers were pressed to the ground by the German fire and unable to move. Lin Hua, who was hiding aside, used his fire-breathing gun to
He stared at the enemies outside, wishing he could fly over with wings and kill them all with the bayonet in his hand.
Andre climbed next to him, dodging bullets fired from outside, and asked Lin Hua loudly: "Comrade platoon leader, the enemy's firepower is too strong, what should we do?"
In fact, Lin Hua was more anxious than anyone else. If the Germans kept suppressing and beating him like this, if they waited for them to rush up and throw a few grenades in, everyone in the barn would be dead. Just when he was helpless, suddenly Gu
The sound of machine gun fire rang out next to the warehouse, stagnating the German firepower.
Seeing that the German firepower outside had become sparse, Lin Hua didn't care to think about it. He yelled: "Comrades, charge!" Then he jumped up from the ground, holding the rifle with the bayonet, and faced outside with his waist.
Rush away.
When the enemy's firepower became intensive again, Lin Hua and the soldiers in the barn had all rushed out, selected hiding places, and started shooting at the enemy on the opposite side.
As early as the gunfire rang out at the entrance of the village, it alerted Second Lieutenant Vasily who lived in a private house. He got out of bed, without even putting on his boots, rushed to the phone, picked up the phone and shouted loudly: "Hello.
Hey, hey, pick up the division headquarters for me, pick up the division headquarters for me."
The chief of staff of the division who answered the phone asked somewhat displeasedly after hearing Vasily's panicked voice: "Second Lieutenant Vasily, don't forget your identity, please stay calm."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Vasily said emotionally as he listened to the intensive gunfire coming from outside: "The village where we are located was attacked by the Germans. Please support, please support..."
"How many troops does the enemy have?" the division chief of staff then asked.
"I don't know, Comrade Chief of Staff." Vasily replied in a panic: "I heard intensive gunshots outside and felt the need to report the situation here to the division headquarters as soon as possible."
"I understand." The division chief of staff said calmly on the phone: "Order the troops to hold on firmly, and I will send reinforcements to you soon."
After Vasily put down the phone, he decided to go to the barn to find out the situation in person. Just as he was sitting by the bed and putting on his boots, his landlady rushed out of the back room, hugged him, and said with tears in her eyes
: "Dear Vasily, please! Don't abandon me, don't leave me to the Germans, please!"
"That's enough, stop screaming!" Vasily, who was restless, shouted loudly at the landlady: "I don't want to escape, I want to fight with my comrades." After saying that, he walked to the wall and
He took off the holster hanging on it, took out the pistol, checked the bullets inside, and prepared to leave the room.
Seeing Vasily holding a pistol and preparing to go out and fight the Germans, the landlady could no longer control himself. He yelled, rushed forward and hugged his waist with both hands from behind, crying and shouting: "Vasily,
Don't leave, don't leave here. If you go out, you will be beaten to death by the Germans. If you are beaten to death, what will I do?"
