Goria, who was authorized by Sokov, without hesitation, took several soldiers from the Second Battalion, bent over and ran to Ajik's hiding position, and then announced to him: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, due to your wrong command in the battle, the third battalion has suffered huge casualties. The division commander has removed you from your post and I will take over your command."
"This is impossible!" Hearing Goria say this, Ajik immediately roared: "Even if the teacher wants to remove me from my position, he will send someone from the teacher to take over my command. How can you let you command? Does the teacher know that you exist?"
"I said it was the command of the division commander, and it was naturally the commander's commander. If you want to hear the explanation, you will naturally hear it when you meet the division commander." Goria said, waved her head at the soldiers behind her and ordered him: "Disarm the lieutenant colonel and escort him to the division headquarters."
Several soldiers squatting beside Ajik saw the men under Goriya and were about to forcefully disarm Ajik, they raised their guns and pointed the black muzzle at the other party. The soldiers of the Second Battalion were not to be outdone and also raised the gun in their hands.
Seeing that the two sides were at odds and there was a possibility of fighting at any time, Ajik quickly stood up, waved his hands to the soldiers behind him, and ordered: "Let them all down." After both sides put the guns down, Ajik handed his pistol to Goria's hands and said coldly: "Comrade Major, please send someone to send me to the division headquarters."
Goria took Ajik's pistol, inserted it into the belt, and then called two soldiers to order: "You send lieutenant colonel to the division command."
Goria, who took over the command, immediately ordered his subordinates after Ajik was taken away: "Put the machine gun frame here, use firepower to suppress the enemy, and cover our soldiers to rush forward."
With the order issued, several light and heavy machine guns were immediately placed on both sides of the street and fired at the exposed German firepower points. At the same time, under the cover of machine guns, the commanders and soldiers of the Second Battalion also charged along the street full of comrades' bodies. However, they did not squeeze into a group of people shoulder to shoulder and launched suicide charges under the fierce firepower of the enemy, but instead used the buildings on both sides of the street or the comrades' bodies on the street to approach the German army step by step.
Compared with the 1139th Regiment, the two battalions led by Bindasov were much smoother. As early as the attack a few hours ago, Bindasov saw the benefits of the joint battle between the squadrons of the streets, so he also followed the way, using infantry and tanks to protect each other and advanced towards the north of the city.
Half of the three squad soldiers who accompanied the tanks were equipped with new assault rifles. They walked along the street with firm steps; while observing the buildings on the left and right streets with vigilant eyes. Once they saw German soldiers poking their heads out of the window, they would decisively shoot.
The assault rifles in their hands have a range of the same as those in rifles, and can be shot continuously like submachine guns. Most of the German soldiers hiding in the buildings are equipped with bolt-pull-type Mauser rifles. If the gun fails to hit the target, they need to pull the bolt immediately before they can shoot for a second shot. The soldiers holding assault rifles on the street will naturally not give them a chance to shoot again. As soon as they find the target, they will instantly shoot them into sieves.
Seeing his troops struggling in the north of the city, Mamendov was so anxious that he stomped his feet in the temporary command center. At this moment, a staff officer came over to report to him: "Comrade Commander, the troops of the 97th Division have entered the city."
"Great, this is really great." Mamendov smiled happily when he heard the staff officer say this and asked quickly: "Is Colonel Shemianlit personally leading the team?" Seeing the staff officer nodding his head and adding, "Where is he?"
The staff officer quickly replied: "He is coming to us with a few people."
"There are many buildings here that were blown up by artillery fire during the battle. Colonel Shemyalit may not be able to find us. You go over and take him here." Mamendov had just finished saying this and must have felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Forget it, I'll go out to greet him in person."
After Mamendov finished speaking, he hurriedly left his temporary command center with his staff and two guards and went outside to greet Semialit and his party. Not far from the command center, Mamendov saw a group of people walking quickly through the ruins. The soldier wearing a steel helmet in the front was Semialit, the commander of the 97th Division.
Mamendov quickly came over and brought Shemialit and his subordinates to the cottage next to him. Then he held each other's hand and said excitedly: "Comrade Colonel, thank you for your support. I believe that with your help, we can crush the German defense in the north of the city in the shortest time."
Shemialit looked at Mamendov, whose face was blackened by the smoke of gunpowder and said to him: "Col. Mamendov, the commander told me before I set out that in order to cooperate with us to smash the German defense in the north of the city, the troops of the 31st Guard Division have begun to move towards the north of the city. What we need to do now is to contact them as soon as possible and attack the enemies who are standing in the north of the city."
Although Mamendov was still worried that the 31st Guard Division could achieve great results in a very short period of time, he knew very well that if he did not cooperate with Sokov's troops, he and the 97th Division's troops would pay a heavy price even if they broke through the German defense and rushed to the city center. Therefore, he nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, I will contact the 31st Guard Division as soon as possible."
Just as he ordered the radio operator to contact Sokov's division headquarters, a cheering sound suddenly came from the window. "What's going on?" Since Mamendov did not stay in his command center and could not know what was going on outside in time, he ordered the staff officer standing aside: "Go and see what happened."
Less than two minutes after the staff officer went out, he rushed in again and reported excitedly: "Report to the division commander, friendly forces, our friendly forces are here!"
"Friends?!" Mamendov repeated the word and glanced at Xiemialit, thinking that the commander of the friendly army was right in front of him. What else could you be excited about when you saw the friendly troops appear. Therefore, he said to the staff with an unhappy expression: "Comrade Staff, don't forget that you are an officer, you must know how to control your emotions, and don't be surprised in everything."
When Mamendov criticized his subordinates, Xiemialit, who was standing next to him, suddenly thought of a possibility. He immediately widened his eyes and asked the staff officer nervously: "Comrade Staff, what did you just say? Friendly troops? Is it a friendly army coming from the city center?"
As soon as Xiemialit finished speaking, he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, comrade Colonel, the troops of the 31st Guards Division have broken through the German defense in the north of the city and met with our troops."
"Our troops meet with friendly troops?" As soon as the staff spoke, it was Mamendov's turn to be stunned. He stared at his subordinates for a long time before asking tentatively: "Comrade Staff, are you saying that friendly troops rushed out of the city and met with our offensive troops, right?"
"It's totally correct, comrade commander." The staff officer replied with a smile: "The troops of the 31st Guards Division, under the cover of tanks, broke through the defense line set up by the German army on the streets and had already joined forces with our offensive troops."
