Chapter 467
Sokov, who was standing in the building watching the battle, saw the assault guns rumble towards the building along the street, Hant, who was lying in the rubble pile not far away, his heart sank, thinking that Hant had sacrificed. Unexpectedly, when the assault gun was passing by the rubble pile, Hant unexpectedly poked half of his body, but he did not attack the assault guns passing by, as if they were not passing by the enemy but their own assault guns.
Seeing this, Vasily couldn't help but curse in a hurry: "Hey, what does Hant want to do? Why didn't he blow up the assault gun? Just a few meters apart, what a good opportunity."
"Sergeant Vasily, don't worry." Yakov suddenly interrupted and said, "This soldier was not in a hurry to take action. He must have his consideration. Let's continue to watch."
The assault gun behind saw that the assault gun in front had passed through the rubble pile smoothly. He thought that the Soviet soldiers hiding behind had been killed by machine guns, so he followed him forward. Unexpectedly, as soon as it approached the rubble pile, Hant suddenly stood up and threw the grenade. After seeing the grenade landing on the assault gun, Hant stopped on the road and started burning. He held the remaining grenade and chased the assault gun heading towards the building.
The German tankers of the assault guns, due to their limited vision, never dreamed that the assault guns that followed them had been blown up by Hant, and it was their turn next. When the building was still one hundred meters away, the driver even stopped the assault guns so that the gunner could bombard the fire points exposed in the building. Unexpectedly, Hant, who had just stopped the car and blown up another assault gun, rushed over and threw grenades at the assault guns where they were.
After the assault guns rushing along the street were blown up by Hanter one by one, the defenders in the building couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They knew very well that if the assault gun was parked at a place 100 meters away from the building, even if the elevation angle of the artillery was not enough, there would be no problem in destroying the firepower points on the first and second floors.
The Germans rushed over from the opposite side of the square, seeing that the assault guns that covered their attack were all destroyed by the Soviet army, and knew that continuing to attack would be equivalent to hitting the stone with eggs, so they retreated to the opposite side of the square one after another.
After the German army retreated, Sokov stared at the submachine gun in Vasily's hand, thinking that in real history, Vasily was an excellent sniper, but now he has played the submachine gun. So isn't he going to give up his title as the God of Sniper to others?
Thinking of this, Sokov said to Vasily: "Sergeant Vasily, why are you using a submachine gun?"
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Vasily slapped the bolt with her hands, making a crackling sound, and then replied with a smile: "The firepower of the submachine gun can suppress the enemy's firepower..."
"Enough, Sergeant Vasily, stop talking." Sokov interrupted Vasily without hesitation and said unhappily: "I think you should not use a submachine gun, but a sniper rifle. Maybe you can destroy ten enemies with ten rounds, and using a submachine gun, a hundred rounds may not necessarily destroy the enemy. Do you understand what I mean?"
Vasily, who was criticized by Sokov, turned red with his face. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Sokov: "I'm sorry, comrade comrade, I was wrong. I will exchange the gun later."
"Go and change your guns." Sokov waved his hand at Vasily and said, "When the enemy returns to regroup, you have some time to get familiar with your sniper rifle."
After Vasily left, Sokov continued to stand at the gap to observe the situation outside. The first thing he looked for was the hero Hante, who had blown up two assault guns, but found that the other party was bent down and running towards the intersection. "Hehe, where is he going?" Sokov saw that Hante was not coming back, but ran towards the intersection, thinking to himself: He couldn't surrender to the Germans, right?
However, the next scene was beyond Sokov's imagination. Kant ran to the body of the soldier who blew up the first assault gun, and suddenly lay down, lying with the martyr's body. "What is he going to do?" Sokov couldn't help but say to himself when he saw this situation.
After taking a look, Yakov shook his head and said, "It's so strange. Why did he lie next to his comrades' body?"
But soon all the answers were revealed. Hant changed his lying sideways, put the martyr's hands and feet on him one after another, then turned over, and turned from lying on his side to lying prone. The martyr's body lay on him. After doing all this, he tried hard to raise his head, turned his body into a kneeling position on his knees, and then held the body of his comrades-in-arms' body with his backhand, slowly stood up, and walked step by step towards the building.
Sokov, who had seen the whole process clearly, understood why Kant was lying on the ground just now. It turned out that he was to carry the body of his comrades on his body and bring him back from the street. Sokov turned his head and saw that there were several soldiers standing inside the room, and quickly said to them: "Go and help Kant quickly and bring back the body of the soldier."
Yakov raised his telescope and looked across the square. After looking for a while, he said to Sokov: "Misha, the Germans seem to be reassembling across the square. Do you see if we let the rocket launcher camp teach them a lesson?"
Sokov did not speak, but raised his telescope and looked at the opposite side. Seeing clearly that the other side had only a hundred German troops gathered, there was no technical equipment yet, and felt that it was a bit too wasteful to use the rocket launcher battalion to cover the firepower. So he shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary. It's a waste to have only one hundred German enemies to make a volley of the rocket launcher battalion."
"Or the better, we will let Sergeant Vasily and the others fire a rocket." Seeing that Sokov was unwilling to use the rocket launcher battalion easily, Yakov expressed his opinion: "Anyway, we came here to test the power of the rocket."
"Okay," Sokov stopped stinging when he heard Yakov say this, but said readily: "Let Vasily and the others fire a rocket at the Germans and see how powerful it is."
After Vasily arrived, Sokov directly ordered him: "Sergeant Vasily, order the artillery on the fourth floor to fire a rocket at the position where the enemy gathered opposite the square."
Although Vasily was not interested in this new rocket, since Sokov gave the order, he could only execute it unconditionally. He picked up the phone and issued an order to Lieutenant Chernushenko on the fourth floor: "Comrade Lieutenant, the brigade commander, order to fire a rocket towards the position where the enemy gathered opposite the square."
As a veteran, Second Lieutenant Chernushenko was more determined than Vasily's orders. After receiving the order to fire a rocket, he did not ask any questions. As soon as he put down the phone, he directly ordered his troops to remove the launch cylinder and load the rockets, and prepare for launch as quickly as possible.
With the order of Second Lieutenant Chernushenko, a rocket dragged its long flame tail and flew towards the German assembly ground opposite the square under the gaze of everyone.
The German officers and soldiers who had retreated from the square met with a team of German troops who had just arrived to support and gathered again. After the new tanks or assault guns arrived, they would attack the building that Sergeant Vasily held. While they were waiting for the arrival of tanks and assault guns, they suddenly heard a strange sound from the air. Just as they looked up, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly saw something with a long flame tail flying from the opposite side of the square, and shouted in a hurry: "Secret, hide quickly..."
Before the rest of the soldiers came to their senses, the rockets had already plunged into the most densely populated place of the German army. A moment later, the commanders and soldiers of the distant building saw a huge group of fire rising from the opposite side of the square. Countless German broken limbs and broken arms and weapon fragments were thrown into the air, and then they were scattered down like flowers in the sky.
When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, the commanders and soldiers in the building saw only a huge crater with repeated black smoke. Around the crater were filled with incomplete German bodies and parts of weapons. Twenty or thirty meters away from the crater, many wounded soldiers were lying on the ground and wailing.
Among all the commanders and fighters who saw this scene, the one who showed the most calm was Yakov. He had participated in the test firing of new rockets many times, so he naturally knew how powerful this weapon was. Although Sokov had known that this weapon was powerful for a long time, he was still shocked after seeing the killing effect.
Vasily and the others were completely stunned. They never expected that the power of such an inconspicuous rocket would not be less than that of the heavy artillery. Vasily even thought in his heart: Just one can eliminate hundreds of German soldiers. If we have ten or twenty, wouldn’t it be equivalent to having a powerful artillery? Then, let alone one or two hundred German soldiers, we will have the confidence to block them even if we come to a battalion or a regiment.
While Vasily was thinking, he suddenly heard Sokov calling himself. He quickly turned to face Sokov, straightened his body and asked, "Comrade Brigade Commander, what instructions do you have?"
"Sergeant Vasily," Sokov asked with a smile on his face, "How do you think the power of this rocket?"
"Awesome, it's so amazing." After Vasily said this, he suddenly remembered that he looked down on this rocket and even ordered people to hide it in the basement. He quickly blushed and admitted his mistake to Sokov: "I'm sorry, comrade comrade, I underestimated the power of this rocket, so I haven't used it for such a long time."
When Sokov heard Vasily say this, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent. He thought to himself: This is a guerrilla artifact decades later, and even the US military armed to the teeth suffered a great loss, not to mention the German guys who had never seen advanced equipment in front of him.
Vasily was silent for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, since this new rocket is so powerful, can you give us more?"
Hearing Vasily's request, Sokov thought in his mind that how cost-effective is it to supplement the Vasily Building? After some calculations, he felt that the situation in Vasily was much more severe than that in Mamayevgang, and he could transfer a batch of rockets to him so that he could be confident in defending the building. As for Mamayevgang, even if there is no new rocket, can't he still get support from the left-bank artillery? Anyway, several artillery observers sent by the group army's artillery have been staying in Mamayevgang to guide the artillery on the other side.
Sokov nodded at Vasily and said, "Well, Sergeant Vasily, I think the new rockets can be used for you. When I go back, I will send you ten of them immediately."
"Ah, only ten?" Vasily's face showed a disappointed expression on his face when he heard Sokov's number. He begged hard: "Comrade Brigade Commander, can you give us more?"
"What, you still think there are ten fewer? Do you think this new rocket is like a rifle bullet, how many are there?" Sokov said unhappily: "Do you know how many new rockets have only been produced in total? And how long does it take to wait until the next batch of new rockets arrive?"
When Vasily heard Sokov say this, he immediately realized that the production and manufacturing process of this rocket may not be as simple as he imagined. It is definitely unrealistic to take more. However, the building he is sticking to often faces the fierce fortifications of the German army. Without strong firepower support, it is quite difficult to defend it here.
What should I do? Vasily scratched the back of his head, thinking quickly in his mind, should he continue to ask Sokov to provide him with this new rocket?
Fortunately, as a spectator, Yakov saw Vasily's difficulties and quickly said with a smile: "Comrade Sergeant, I know you must be very conflicted. Keep asking your brigade commander for new rockets, and there will definitely be no more for you; don't, it is very difficult to block the German attack with your existing troops and equipment. Am I right?"
"That's right, right." After hearing Yakov say this, Vasily's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously: "Comrade Major, you are right, that's what I think."
Yakov turned his head and looked at Sokov. The two of them were facing each other's eyes. He saw a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes, and then said with a smile: "Misha, I think it's a bit too few to give Sergeant Vasily and the others ten rockets. It's better to give him a little more. As long as he can defend this place, the enemy will not be able to concentrate their strength and launch an attack from your flanks. After I return to Moscow, I will urge the factory to speed up production and provide you with new rockets as soon as possible."
