But when there was only one platoon left on the position, Sokov received a call from Potukin. The other party asked anxiously: "Comrade division commander, I see that there are no troops around you. I need to send East
Can Laying be sent to you?"
"No need, Comrade Chief of Staff. Si. Rabbit 520 Read the latest chapter of the correct novel." Sokov considered that if the troops could not stop the German counterattack, they would withdraw to the left bank, so he rejected Potukin's proposal: "
The battle has just begun, and there will be many places where they will be used in the future. For now, let’s keep them in their original positions.”
Sokov had just put down the phone when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly outside: "Air raid, air raid siren, take cover, quickly find a place to hide." He listened for a moment and recognized that the person calling was the guard platoon leader, so he mentioned
He walked out of the simple headquarters holding an assault rifle, trying to figure out what was going on.
Four enemy planes flew in from the south, lowered their altitude and began to drop bombs. Black smoke from aerial bomb explosions rose everywhere on the position. Two soldiers who were cleaning up the loose soil in the trenches saw the enemy planes starting to drop bombs and quickly held up their hands.
The engineer shoveled, bent over and ran towards a nearby air raid shelter.
Unexpectedly, just halfway through the run, an aerial bomb landed and exploded not far from them. When the smoke cleared, Sokov saw two soldiers falling to the ground, rolling in pain. He quickly turned around and rushed
The headquarters shouted: "Hygiene, health worker!"
Following his shout, a male health worker carrying a medical kit ran out of the headquarters, looked at his waist and came to Sokovl and others, and asked him: "Comrade division commander, what are your instructions?"
Sokov pointed to the wounded soldiers in the distance and said: "There are two wounded soldiers there. Go and treat them quickly."
Although the position was filled with smoke and flying shrapnel from the explosion at the moment, the health worker ran towards the location of the wounded without hesitation after receiving Sokov's order.
"Comrade Division Commander," the guard platoon leader who was originally hiding in a nearby air raid shelter saw Sokov squatting in a bomb crater outside the headquarters. Worried that he was in danger, he quickly left his hiding place and ran to Sokov's side.
He said anxiously: "It's too dangerous outside, you'd better go to the air-raid shelter."
"Comrade Second Lieutenant, there are two wounded over there. Let's help the health workers carry them to the air-raid shelter first." After Sokov finished speaking, without waiting for the guard platoon leader to express his position, he bent down and sprinted towards the location of the wounded.
"Commander, it's dangerous, get down quickly." Seeing Sokov finish speaking, he ran towards the wounded exposed in the open ground regardless, scaring the guard platoon leader out of his wits. He rushed towards Sokov's back.
After shouting a few times, but seeing no effect, he cursed in his mind and rushed over with his gun in hand.
Sokov ran to the wounded and squatted down, asking the health worker who was bandaging the wounded: "How are their injuries? Are they serious?"
"The injuries are serious." The health worker shook his head and said, "They are all injured in the legs and back. Surgery must be performed as soon as possible to remove all the shrapnel from their bodies."
"Comrade division commander," the guard platoon leader appeared in front of the two men. He said to Sokov with a hint of reproach: "You are the commander of a division, how can you take such risks? You should go back to the headquarters first, here.
Leave it to me to finish."
Sokov glanced at the air-raid shelter more than 20 meters away and said to the guard platoon leader: "The injuries of the wounded are not serious. We cannot let them stay in this dangerous place. We should send them to the air-raid shelter over there first."
"
After the guard platoon leader heard what Sokov said, without saying a word, he grabbed one of the wounded by the collar and dragged him towards the air-raid shelter. Seeing that the guard platoon leader had already dragged away one of the wounded, he asked
Cove and the health worker dragged another wounded man and ran to the air-raid shelter as quickly as possible.
There were seven or eight soldiers in the air-raid shelter. When they saw the division commander and platoon leader each dragging a wounded person over, half of them immediately came out to help and helped drag the wounded into the air-raid shelter.
The guard platoon leader took advantage of the health worker to bandage the wounds of the wounded and said to Sokov tactfully: "Comrade division commander, do you know? What you just did was really risky. You are the commander of a division. If something happens,
Unexpectedly, the troops may fall into panic due to the loss of unified command..."
"I'm sorry, Comrade Second Lieutenant." After hearing what the guard platoon leader said, Sokov also realized that he was a little too reckless. Now is not the time to show off as a hero. If he really has any shortcomings, the three men who are fighting fiercely with the Germans
The regiment would fall into chaos because of the loss of unified command. He quickly apologized to the other party and said: "You are right, I was a little too reckless today. I will make sure to correct it in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a soldier shouting from the entrance of the cave: "Comrade Division Commander, someone is calling you from the direction of the headquarters."
Sokov quickly came to the entrance of the cave and looked towards the headquarters dozens of meters away. Sure enough, he saw a communications soldier squatting half-crouched at the door, waving his hands in this direction, and shouting something loudly. However, due to the bombing of enemy planes
and strafing, Sokov couldn't hear what the other party was saying at all. Seeing Sokov's unresponsiveness, the signal soldier quickly raised his thumb and little finger as if to answer the phone.
Seeing this action of the communication soldier, Sokov knew that someone must call the headquarters to look for him, so he picked up his gun and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as he leaned forward, he was pulled by the guard platoon leader, and then
The reporter said: "Commander, it's too dangerous. You'd better wait until the enemy planes leave before going over."
Sokov guessed that the call coming at this time must be about something important, and the enemy planes did not know how long they would bomb the position, so he waved his hand to the guard platoon leader and rushed out of the air-raid shelter with his gun. Who?
When he was still twenty or thirty steps away from the command post, an aerial bomb dropped from the sky and exploded nearby. The huge shock wave knocked Sokov into the crater in front of the command post.
A German pilot who carried out the air strike felt that the intelligence he received when bombing this position that once belonged to his own side was inaccurate. From the time of the bombing until now, he seemed not to have seen a few running figures on the ground. Soko
As soon as the husband rushed out of the air-raid shelter, he was immediately spotted by the German pilots hovering in the air, and they immediately dived to drop the bomb. However, the bomb was dropped a little early, and the running Russian soldiers were only overturned by the air waves and fell into a nearby bomb crater.
, it seemed that it had not lost the ability to move. Therefore, the German pilot pulled the plane up, prepared to dive down again, and used the onboard machine gun to eliminate the Russian.
Sokov lay on his back in the crater, feeling a sharp pain in his back. When he saw an enemy plane pull up, then dive down towards him, he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly raised the gun in his hand.
The assault rifle had its butt pressed against its shoulder, and its muzzle was aimed at the swooping enemy plane.
Seeing the enemy plane getting closer and closer to him, Sokov immediately pulled the trigger. Due to time constraints, he had no time to consider how ridiculous it was to use an assault rifle to masturbate. Amidst the huge explosion, he did not hear it at all.
With the sound of gunfire, one can only mechanically pull the trigger and shoot out all the bullets in the magazine.
Because he was so nervous, he didn't notice that a bullet penetrated the cockpit glass and hit the pilot's face. The red liquid that exploded sprayed the glass into blood red. The plane that lost the pilot was shot from all directions above his head.
It passed by fifty meters away, then plunged into the open space a hundred meters away, and an earth-shattering explosion occurred.
Whether it was the soldiers at the entrance of the air-raid shelter or the command department, when they saw the division commander being overturned by an aerial bomb, their hands were sweating, and they were worried about his safety. Who would have expected that in a twist of events, the division commander who fell in the bomb crater would...
He actually shot down an enemy plane with the new automatic gun in his hand. After a moment of silence, the soldiers all cheered. Two soldiers rushed out of the command post, jumped into the crater, and held Sokov
Returned to the headquarters.
Sokov was carried to his seat by two soldiers and sat down. He gasped and asked the communications soldier who called him: "Who called me?"
"This is Colonel Bindasov." The signal soldier handed the microphone to Sokov and said at the same time: "He has important information and needs to report to you immediately."
Sokov grabbed the microphone, put it to his ear and said loudly: "Colonel Bindasov, I am the acting division commander. Do you have anything to report to me?"
"Comrade Division Commander," the voice from the receiver was mixed with the sound of gunfire, proving that a fierce battle was taking place in Bindasov. Bindasov said loudly: "The enemy has dispatched seven or eight tanks and three hundred
Several infantrymen counterattacked the position occupied by our regiment. Captain Jetrov's battalion was fighting tenaciously with the enemy, and the soldiers performed very bravely..."
Before Bindasov could finish speaking, Sokov interrupted the other party's subsequent rhetoric and continued to ask: "I have sent you the third battalion that stayed here. Have they arrived?"
"What, you have sent the third battalion here?" Bindasov, who was about to ask for reinforcements, was stunned for a moment when he heard Sokov said this. Then he thought that although the acting division commander was young, he had a poor grasp of the battle situation.
He was stronger than anyone else, so it was only natural that he could get his third battalion back in advance. He quickly said: "I haven't seen the third battalion yet, I guess they are on the march."
"Comrade Colonel," Sokov asked Bindasov with a serious expression, "please tell me truthfully, can you block the enemy's attack?"
"It's hard to say, Comrade Division Commander." Bindasov said hesitantly: "You have to know that our regiment does not have any heavy weapons. If we want to destroy the enemy's tanks, we must let the soldiers tie cluster grenades on their bodies and wait for the enemy.
When the tanks rush up, we will die together with them."
"I understand, Comrade Colonel." According to Bindasov's description, Sokov realized that the current strength of the regiment was too weak. If reinforcements were not sent, they might be defeated by the German army. Thinking of this,
He quickly added: "Hold on, I will send you reinforcements as soon as possible."
Then, Sokov contacted Pavel again and asked straight to the point: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, how is the situation in your direction? Are the enemies still harassing you?"
"Yes, Comrade Division Commander." Pavel replied in an affirmative tone: "Up to Moquan, they only continued to bombard our positions and sent small groups of troops to conduct feint attacks. They did not launch any decent attack at all. Therefore,
I can say with certainty that they took such actions just to contain us."
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, listen to me." After confirming that the enemy was just feigning an attack on the right wing, Sokov immediately and decisively ordered Pavel: "Immediately transfer the 1139th Regiment to the left wing to support Colonel Bindasov.
It is the focus of the German offensive. If support is not provided as soon as possible, I am worried that it will not be able to withstand it."
"Don't worry, comrade division commander." After hearing Sokov's instructions, Pavel quickly assured him: "I will dispatch the 1139th Regiment as soon as possible to reinforce Colonel Bindasov."
Although a regiment was transferred from the right wing, Sokov still felt uneasy, so he called Potukin who stayed on the other side of the river and asked directly: "Comrade Chief of Staff, at present the 1135th Regiment's
The situation is very critical, do you have any way to transfer the tank battalion and artillery battalion to the right bank area as soon as possible?"
Sokov's words stumped Potukin. Although the river channel about fifty meters wide was nothing, it was a bit difficult to let the tanks and artillery cross the river. Sokov heard no movement in the receiver.
He couldn't help frowning, and raised his voice and asked: "What's wrong, Comrade Chief of Staff, why don't you speak?"
"It's difficult, Comrade Division Commander." Potukin said in embarrassment: "I can order the artillery battalion to set up positions by the river to provide artillery support for Bindasov's 1135th Regiment. But there is really nothing I can do about tanks.
, there is no bridge on the river, and our tanks can’t swim.”
After hearing Potukin say that tanks can't swim, Sokov suddenly thought of the area where the 1137th and 1138th Regiments were wading, and said to Potukin: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you can have the tank battalion go north along the river and get there.
The infantry can wade across the river on foot. I believe that the infantry can wade across the river on foot, and our tanks can also cross it."
"Yes, how could I have forgotten this?" After Sokov reminded Potukin, he immediately replied: "I will call the tank battalion commander right away and order him to lead the tank battalion north and cross from the upper reaches.
Zhizdra River.”
After the phone call was made, the bombing outside was also over. Seeing that one of his companions was shot down by ground fire, the remaining enemy planes panicked. They quickly pulled the plane up, dropped all the aerial bombs they carried, and then turned around.
Fly towards the south.
After hearing that the enemy's bombing was over, Sokov walked out of the headquarters again. He stood at the door, raised his head and glanced at the enemy planes retreating, and then turned his eyes to the position where black smoke was billowing everywhere. He secretly thought in his heart.
I thought: "Bindasov is supported by the 1139th Regiment, as well as artillery and tank troops. There should be no problem in holding on to the current position."
