While attacking the nameless highlands, two T-34 tanks arrived from the east of Sushinic. Just as they were about to enter the city, they were blocked by the checkpoint at the entrance.
The turret hatch of the tank in front was opened, and a tank soldier wearing a tank cap and a short leather coat poked out half of his body and shouted at the sergeant who was walking towards the tank: "Hey, I said sergeant, hurry up and let your people move the roadblocks ahead away. We have urgent matters and need to rush to the city command center immediately."
The sergeant at the checkpoint stood beside the tank, looking up at the tank lieutenant. He did not forget his duties just because the other party's military rank was higher than his, but asked in an official manner: "Which part of you are?"
"We are the direct troops of the Front Command." The lieutenant obviously didn't want to waste too much time here. After simply revealing his identity, he immediately urged: "My man, hurry up and remove the obstacles in front, we need to rush to the command center immediately."
"Comrade Lieutenant, please show your ID." Facing the impatient lieutenant, the sergeant said slowly: "If there is no ID, I cannot let you enter the city casually."
The lieutenant was about to get angry, but someone seemed to be talking to him in the tank, making him bend down and look into the car. After a moment, the sergeant standing next to the tank saw the sergeant climb out of the turret, then leaned over to help another person poke out of the turret. After seeing this person clearly, the sergeant was shocked and quickly raised his hand to salute the other party, saying in a panic: "Hello, Comrade Commander of the Front Army! Sergeant Vrquoff reported to you at the checkpoint... Please forgive me, I don't know that you were in the tank, I am ready to accept any punishment you should have suffered because of delaying your time..."
Unexpectedly, Zhukov waved his hand at him and said, "Comrade Sergeant, you are doing a good job. You are fulfilling your duties. Okay, let your people remove the obstacles now."
The sergeant raised his hand and saluted Zhukov and thanked Zhukov. He then ordered his subordinates to remove the obstacle placed in the middle of the road, and pulled up the crossbar to let the two tanks pass through the checkpoint.
As the two tanks drove towards the city, a young soldier asked Volquov curiously: "Comrade Sergeant, who is the general in the tank?"
The sergeant looked at the tank that was gradually moving away and murmured, "Don't you know him? He is General Zhukov, the commander of the Western Front Army!" After saying that, he suddenly remembered that he should report this matter to his superiors, so he hurried into the roadside booth, picked up the phone hanging on the wooden board, and said to the microphone, "I am the East Gate Checkpoint, pick up the duty room of the Group Army Command to me, I have important things to report..."
When the tank that Zhukov was riding arrived at the 16th Army Command, Rokosovsky had already stood outside the door with his members and waited for a long time.
After Zhukov came out of the turret, he did not jump off the tank immediately, but turned his head to look south because he saw the black smoke column rising in that direction. He turned his head to look at Rokosovsky, and saw that the other party was staring at him intently, he pointed his hand to the south and asked, "Comrade Rokosovsky, where is that place?"
"It is the nameless highland to the south," Rokosovsky knew that Sokov's troops were fighting against the Germans in that direction, so he replied truthfully: "The Germans are launching a new attack on the troops that hold the highlands."
Due to the obstruction of the buildings, Zhukov could not see the situation in the distant high ground even if he stood on the tank. He turned around and looked around. Seeing that the top floor of the command seemed to be a good observation point, he jumped off the tank and came to Rokosovsky, and said to him in an unquestionable tone: "Take me to the roof of the building to have a look."
Under Rokosovsky's guidance, Zhukov came to the roof and raised his telescope to look into the distance. In the rising black smoke column, there were dark red flames rolling, and a faint rumbling sound could be heard. According to his experience, the German army was launching shelling on the high ground. He put down the telescope and looked at Rokosovsky with his face sideways: "Which unit is the one who sticks to the high ground?"
"It was Captain Sokov's Istria camp." Rokosovsky said to Zhukov: "In the battle two days ago, they also seized five heavy howitzers, which strengthened the artillery power in Sushinic City."
"A commander like this can be relieved wherever he placed." Zhukov felt relieved when he learned that the troops standing in the south of the city were the Istrian camp commanded by Sokov. He said with appreciation: "In my opinion, the future achievements of this Xiaomia will definitely not be worse than his father."
…………
The German army attacked a platoon in the nameless highland. Under the firepower of the Soviet army, except for two or three who ran fast, the remaining more than 40 people fell on the hillside in a row.
The tanks parked at the foot of the mountain saw that the attacking infantry had been destroyed, and knew that it would be meaningless to stay here, so they drove backwards and retreated to the back.
As soon as the German tanks were withdrawn, four German dive bombers appeared above the high ground. They circled around the air, found the target, and then dived straight down, dropping bombs and strafing at the commanders and fighters moving on the high ground.
As soon as the German dive bomber appeared above the high ground, the soldiers of the female anti-aircraft machine gun company entered the air defense position as fast as possible. They opened the camouflage net covered by the machine gun. The shooter skillfully controlled the machine gun and pointed the muzzle at the enemy plane that was throwing bombs and strafing.
Seeing that all the anti-aircraft machine guns were ready for combat, Lieutenant Liu Ba suddenly waved the red signal flag in his hand down and shouted loudly: "Let's fire!"
The fierce shooting of six anti-aircraft machine guns scared the German bombers who were bombing the highlands. The pilots pulled the planes up one after another, circled in the air, and divided one to bomb the air defense position. The remaining three continued to bomb and strafuse the highlands.
If German pilots encountered other air defense forces, their tactics would undoubtedly be quite effective. Unfortunately, the position arranged by the female anti-aircraft machine gun company they encountered was the most defensive hexagon. No matter which direction the enemy plane came from, they faced the dense firepower of six machine guns.
The bomber that bombed the air defense position was diving down. Before the pilot could drop the bomb, the plane was hit by the dense bullets flying towards him and exploded in the air. The fuselage turned into a huge fire ball, and the wreckage of the plane fell from the air with flames.
Seeing that his companion's plane was shot down, another plane dived from the high ground, trying to take over his companion's work and razed the air defense position at the foot of the mountain to the ground. As soon as the German pilot dropped a bomb, he felt the fuselage of the plane tremble suddenly. Based on his experience, the plane was shot. He quickly pulled the plane up, dragged the long black smoke belt, and flew towards the distance. But not far away, he felt that the plane was out of control and was in danger of crashing at any time, so he pulled open the plexiglass hood, stood up and jumped out.
The two enemy planes that were still dropping bombs and strafing on the high ground saw that the air defense positions at the foot of the mountain shot down two of their own planes in a very short time. They dared not fight, so they hurriedly threw away all the bombs they carried and turned around and flew towards the south.
