Andre said in embarrassment: "There are German firepower points on both sides of the dam. With our current strength, it is simply impossible to seize the dam."
"Comrade Company Commander, I have an idea." Vanya stared at the several long-dried water marks on the table and said thoughtfully: "With our current strength, we want to seize the dam to prevent
The German explosion conspiracy is completely impossible. Therefore, I suggest that we go straight to the explosion point where the German engineers are. As long as the engineers are eliminated and the detonators are seized, the enemy will no longer be able to blow up the dam."
Lin Hua immediately agreed with Vanya's plan to draw out the firepower. According to his idea, how many engineers could be hiding in the abandoned bunker? His own group of people would be enough to deal with them.
Lin Hua left Pavel, Seryosha, and Christopher to guard the prisoners. He took the remaining soldiers, led by the scout Kovnin, around to the upstream of the dam, and walked out of the frozen river.
After arriving at the west bank, we began to look for the hiding place of the German engineers.
After arriving at the west bank, Lin Hua realized that he had made a fatal mistake. Although Ernst had said that the bunker where the engineers were hiding was just 500 meters northwest of the dam, what he saw in front of him at this moment was an endless expanse of land.
The large forest, to be precise, is a forest covered with snow, and there is a vast expanse of white everywhere. To find the enemy's bunker in such a large area with only moonlight illumination is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.<
/p>
The team tossed back and forth in the snow for more than an hour, but still found nothing. Andre said to Lin Hua in a complaining tone: "Comrade Lieutenant, if we had brought the prisoner, we might have found the hiding place of the engineers long ago."
It’s over.”
Lin Hua also regretted in his heart. When he set out, why didn't he think of taking Ernst with him? Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking around aimlessly like now. But even if he wanted to send someone back to take Ernst with him,
Come, it's too late. It takes at least more than two hours to come back. Maybe the Germans will carry out the blast before he can get here.
Just when Lin Hua was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a soldier shouting in surprise: "Comrade company commander, look, there is a light over there!"
Hearing the soldier's voice, Lin Hua quickly asked: "Where is it?" He looked in the direction of the soldier's finger and saw a huge snowdrift in the forest, with a faint red light coming out. Lin Hua saw
When this happened, I immediately confirmed that this snowdrift was the bunker I was looking for.
After discovering the target, the team immediately adopted a three-by-three assault formation and cautiously approached the bunker in the distance. When they were less than a hundred meters away from the bunker, the sound of machine gun shooting suddenly broke the silence in the forest. The one at the front
In the combat team, two soldiers immediately fell in the snow. The soldiers who had been on high alert for a long time fell down in the snow one after another when they heard the sound of the German machine guns.
Lin Hua, who fell down in the snow, looked at the snow in front of him being hit by the enemy's machine gun and set off snow pillars. He couldn't help but secretly lamented: "Oops, the enemy has discovered it!"
After the company's machine gunner fell down on the spot, he immediately set up his machine gun without waiting for Lin Hua's order, aiming at the German bunker to suppress fire. Vanya, who was lying near Lin Hua, took the opportunity to roll a few times on the spot.
, came to Lin Hua and asked him for instructions: "Comrade Lieutenant, what should we do now?"
Lin Hua quickly took a look at the surrounding environment and found that although the path forward of the troops was blocked by German machine guns, there was only one machine gun firing in the bunker. As long as people were sent to bypass it, they could eliminate it. Thinking of this
, he immediately ordered Vanya: "Second Lieutenant, take two people and go back to the right side of the bunker to kill the enemy's machine gun."
Vanya agreed, and then crawled with two soldiers out of the blockade area blocked by German machine gun fire, and detoured towards the right side of the bunker. But not far after they crawled out, another soldier suddenly shouted: "Comrade Company Commander, no!"
Okay, the enemy is out of the dam."
Lin Hua turned his head and saw a group of enemies pouring out from the position of the dam, running towards his position. Seeing this, Lin Hua's heart couldn't help but rise to his throat. He knew very well that once he waited from the dam,
The enemies coming out of the dam rushed over, and his small unit was in danger of being annihilated. He quickly shouted: "Stay in the first platoon, follow me in the second platoon!"
Lin Hua and several soldiers from the second platoon left the German machine gun blockade area on their hands and knees to find a position to block the enemies coming from the dam. They hid behind the ice piles on the water and quietly watched the approaching enemies.
.
When the enemy was only 70 or 80 meters away from them, Lin Hua shouted: "Hit!" Then the Mosin Nagant rifle in his hand opened fire first, knocking down an enemy at the front. The sound of gunfire was
After giving the order, the soldiers in the second row immediately opened fire violently at the swarming enemies, knocking down seven or eight of them immediately.
The blocked German troops hurriedly hid behind the ice pile and fired back at the soldiers in the second row. They set up general-purpose machine guns and fired violently at the ice pile where the soldiers were hiding. Due to the weapons in the hands of the second row soldiers,
Most of them used Mosin-Nagant rifles, which were quickly suppressed by the enemy's firepower. Several soldiers even had their faces scratched by the ice and debris from the bullets.
With the help of the cover of machine guns, the German soldiers came out from behind the ice pile one after another, bent down, put the butts of their guns against their abdomens, and quickly rushed towards the second row.
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, but his own firepower could not stop the enemy, Lin Hua couldn't help but feel anxious. When he reached out to get the bullets from his backpack, he suddenly touched the grenade inside, and he suddenly had a way to deal with it.
Leaning against the ice pile, he shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Comrades, use grenades to blow the enemy back." After saying that, he pulled the fuse of a grenade and threw the white-smoking grenade behind him.
After a loud "boom", there were several screams, which should have come from the injured German soldiers. Hearing the explosion of the grenade, the soldiers also took out the grenade from their backpacks and pulled the fuse.
Then he threw it towards the enemy. In a series of explosions, more than a dozen enemies fell down, and the remaining people hurriedly retreated.
"Comrade Lieutenant," Scout Kovnin climbed to Lin Hua's side and said loudly to him: "I found the wire that detonated the explosive."
"What, the wire that detonates the explosives?" Lin Hua couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he heard what Kovnin said. If he could destroy the German detonating wire, then whether or not the bunker where the German engineers were hiding would no longer be that important.
He quickly asked: "Where?"
Kovnin pointed towards the enemy on the opposite side and behind, and said: "Comrade Lieutenant, look carefully, you can see several wires about fifty meters away to the left and rear of the enemy. As long as we cut the wires,
The enemy's engineers will be unable to blast the dam."
Seeing clearly where the wires were, Lin Hua's heart suddenly went cold. If he wanted to go over and cut the wires, he would have to brave the enemy's bullets. If he was not careful, he would be beaten into pieces by random bullets. So he said cautiously:
"That place is within the enemy's fire blockade and is too dangerous."
"Comrade Lieutenant, we must take this risk." Kovnin said with a serious expression: "The main force of our army will arrive at the Istria River soon. If the Germans bomb them before they arrive,
If the dam is destroyed, the flood will block the way of our army. If you trust me, let me carry out this arduous task."
Lin Hua knew very well that if he wanted to cut the wires short, he would have to send people to take risks. But before agreeing to Kovnin's request, he was still a little embarrassed and said: "Comrade Scout, you don't have tools, how can you cut the enemy's wires?"
?"
Kovnin grinned, then raised an ax and said to Lin Hua: "Comrade Lieutenant, before leaving the cabin, I picked up an ax, and I didn't expect it to be put to use."
Lin Hua remembered that the wooden hut was originally the hut where the forest guards lived. It was not surprising that tools such as axes could be found in it. He nodded to the other party and said, "Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news here.
"Kovnin nodded, turned around and crawled away.
The two sides continued to shoot at each other. Lin Hua ignored the bullets whizzing past his head and stared nervously at Kovnin who was crawling away. Kovnin seemed to be lucky. After he left the second row position,
, and crawled nearly 100 meters to the location of the detonating wire. Just when he raised his ax and prepared to cut off the wire, he was unfortunately discovered by the nearby Germans. Immediately, five or six submachine guns were aimed at him and shot.
The dense bullets blasted the surrounding snow like a boiling pot, and countless balls of blood mist were splashed on his body.
Seeing Kovnin's body pounced forward, he lay motionless in the snow, and the ax in his hand was thrown far away. Lin Hua couldn't help shouting in frustration: "Oops!" He originally wanted to shout again.
A soldier went to perform this task, but looked left and right. The soldiers were shooting at the Germans and had no time to care about anything else. He gritted his teeth, leaned his rifle against the ice pile, and took out a grenade from his backpack.
, inserted into the lower back, crawled out of his position.
When he was close to Kovnin, he couldn't help but be spotted by the Germans, who immediately attracted intensive firepower. Andre, who was hiding behind the ice pile, noticed that part of the Germans' firepower suddenly turned in another direction. He was a little puzzled at first.
, and then discovered that it was Lieutenant Sokov who was hit by German fire. He could not think about why the company commander ran there, so he ordered two submachine gunners to shoot suppressively at the enemy to provide Lin Hua with fire cover.
