The reserve team was transferred to Beigang, and the first battalion was also deployed at the entrance and exit of the tunnel connecting the two hills, but Sokov was still uneasy. He walked to the door and shouted outside: "Come here!"
With the shouting, Selyosha appeared in front of him: "Comrade Brigade Commander, do you have any instructions?"
Sokov pointed at him with his hand and said, "Take someone with me now!"
"Where do you go?" Seryosha asked instinctively.
"Where else can you go?" Sokov glared at him and said, "Of course it's going to the observation center at the top of the hill."
When she learned that Sokov thought of the observation center above her head, Selyosha quickly asked tentatively: "How many people do I bring?"
"Take all your guards with you," Sokov ordered, "As for the security work in the tunnel, hand it over to Major Tenev's guard battalion."
"Yes!" Xie Liangsha quickly agreed, "I'll gather the troops immediately."
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Selyosha had just run away when he heard the conversation between the two, and walked to the door and asked tentatively: "Are you going to the observation room on the top of the mountain again?"
"Yes, I stay in the observation center and can understand the situation on the battlefield in a timely manner. All the things here will be left to you and..." Sokov said this, suddenly realized that he seemed to have not seen Belkin since he woke up, so he pointed to the camp bed where Belkin was sleeping: "Where has the political commissar gone? Why didn't I see him?"
"That's right," Sidolin heard Sokov ask about Belkin and quickly explained to him: "After you fell asleep, the fourth battalion commander Brisky called over. It seemed that something had happened at the Red October factory. The political commissar said you were too tired, don't bother you, let you continue to rest, and he rushed over to deal with it."
"I understand." Sokov was relieved to learn that Belkin had gone to the Red October factory. As long as all the brigade-level commanders were not in Mamayev's hill, even if the entire army was destroyed today, at least Belkin and the commanders and fighters of the Fourth Battalion could have preserved seeds for the 73rd Infantry Brigade. He once again told Cydolin: "I'll go to the observation room on the top of the hillside to take a look, and I'll leave it to you. If there is anything, I'll call you."
When he arrived at the top of the hillside, Sokov saw a scene of tragic hand-to-hand battle on the slanting surface of Beigang at a glance. The soldiers from both sides collided, with bayonets facing the bayonets, chests facing the chest, and face to face with life-for-life battles. On the battlefield of thousands of people, a duel between medieval cold weapons was being held.
If we talk about fighting will, the defenders mainly composed of sailors and soldiers are far higher than the Romanian army. However, their number is at an absolute disadvantage. The Romanian army can use the advantage of numbers to fill the gap in combat will and combat effectiveness of the two armies.
Seeing that people on both sides fell down in the battle for sting, Sokov couldn't help but feel anxious. Even with the reserve team brought by Shamrich, the total strength of Beigang was only 1,000, while the enemy's first attacking force exceeded 2,000, and their follow-up troops were rushing over at this moment. If there were enough new rockets, just a few shots could be fired, so the Romanian troops could be wiped out. However, due to the lack of ammunition, his troops could only fight hand-to-hand combat with the enemy and fight for consumption. Even if they barely win in the end, it would be a tragic victory.
It was the first time that Selyosha, who was standing beside Sokov, had seen such a cruel hand-to-hand battle. He widened his eyes and asked Sokov in surprise: "Misha, our people are obviously much less than the enemy. If we continue to fight like this, we will suffer a great loss."
Sokov naturally knew that if he continued to fight, his troops in Beigang were in danger. He looked around and looked for the mortar troops sent to the top of the hill. After searching for a long time, he saw them hiding behind a pile of sandbags of fortifications. Sokov quickly bent over and ran towards them.
Seeing Sokov running towards him, Porochenko, the commander in charge of the artillery, quickly came up and asked in surprise: "Comrade Brigade Commander, why are you here?"
"Didn't I order you to use artillery fire to support the other's high ground?" Sokov saw that all the artillery soldiers and their mortars were staying in a trench behind the sandbag fortifications, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Why are they all staying here?"
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Porochenko blushed and explained with a red face: "We fired two rounds of shells at the opposite side, but were suppressed by the enemy's tank fire, causing us some casualties..."
"Lieutenant Porochenko," Sokov, after he finished speaking, he taught him a lesson with a stern face: "You are an artilleryman, you should know that mortars are curved firepower. You can hide in places that the enemy cannot see, bombard the enemy on the opposite hills, and let the enemy's tanks do nothing to you."
Porochenko quickly agreed and took the remaining mortars to arrange artillery positions. Sokov walked to the other side and leaned over to look at the defensive positions below. After seeing the situation below, he became even more angry. He quickly turned around and walked to the observation center not far away, picked up the phone and answered the command post of the second battalion commander Vasily, and said angrily: "Comrade Captain, the soldiers in Beigang are fighting desperately with the enemy, but what are your people doing?"
Vasily didn't know why Sokov was so angry, so he could only answer honestly: "My troops are on the ground to prevent possible attacks from happenings by the enemy."
"Comrade Captain," Sokov said sternly: "I just saw that the guns on your position are facing the hillside of Beigang. I ask you, why don't you order fire? You must know that the machine gun position is less than two hundred meters away from the forward slope of Beigang. If you shoot, you can kill the enemy in large quantities..."
After listening to Sokov's words silently, Vasily defended himself: "Comrade Brigade Commander, have you seen the enemy's tanks under Beigang? If we open fire, we will be hit by enemy tank artillery fire."
"As long as you can destroy the enemy, even if your machine gun positions are destroyed by enemy tank guns, it is worth it." Sokov decided to give in at this moment. As long as he can repel the enemy's attack, no matter how much the loss is, he can only do it: "If you let the defenders of Beigang be eliminated by the enemy, then the enemy will turn the guns to deal with you next. What will happen to you at that time? Even if I don't say it, you should understand in your heart."
"I see……"
"You don't understand!" Before Vasily finished speaking, Sokov interrupted the words behind him. "If you really understand, you wouldn't be talking nonsense with me here, but instead directly ordered the machine guns on the position to fire."
Sokov put down the phone and said to Selyosha: "Shelyosha, go to Porochenko, see if their artillery positions are arranged, when can the artillery fire be fired?"
Although it was the first time Sokov spoke to Selyosau in such an impatient tone, Selyosau could understand his mood. He even thought to himself: If he encountered the same situation, he might have personally carried the gun and rushed towards the enemy.
Before Selyosha came back to report, the machine guns on the second camp's position opened fire. The dense firepower composed of four or five machine guns hit the crowded Romanian army, splashing blood. The soldiers who were waiting to go forward to fight for bayonets fell into a pool of blood in a scream.
The tanks parked at the foot of the mountain saw the infantry queue crowded on the hillside being fired by machine guns from the other high ground. After firing one huge gap after another, they immediately turned the guns and opened fire at the machine gun fire point in Nangang. Due to the hasty shooting, the first round of shells fired by the tanks fell into vacancies. However, the tank soldiers corrected the shooting parameters in time and carried out the second round of shooting again. This time they quickly achieved results, shattering a machine gun that was shooting. The explosion of air waves pulled the machine gunman out of the trenches, threw them high into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Although the comrades around him were blown away by the enemy's shells, the machine gun shooters of several other machine guns were still firing continuously, using dense bullets to plow out flesh and blood alleys in the enemy's queue.
While the machine gun killed the enemy in large numbers, the mortar also opened fire. In order to make up for his mistakes, Porochenko ordered his gunners to shoot all the shells out in the shortest time. Hearing Porochenko's orders, the gunners did not dare to neglect and fired at the fastest speed to shoot out the shell coefficient around them.
The Romanian infantry on the hills finally couldn't hold on with the double blow of artillery fire and machine gun fire, and people began to turn around and run back one after another. The escape of a few people triggered a large-scale escape, and even the officers began to run back. Because the hillside was already soaked in blood, the ground became muddy, and the escaped officers and soldiers had no chance of getting up as soon as they fell down, and they would be trampled to death by the soldiers who retreated.
Seeing the enemy retreat, the sailors shouted and chased after him. They broke into the enemy's queue and stabbed all enemy troops who dared to intercept and resist with blood-stained bayonets. For the tanks parked at the foot of the mountain, they climbed directly onto the tank chariots, threw grenades into the open cap, and killed the tank soldiers inside.
"Misha, have you seen it?" Seeing the enemy's large-scale defeat, Selyosha couldn't help but smile. He slapped Sokov's back with his hands a few times, and said excitedly: "The enemy has escaped, we have won!"
