Lawrence's idea is very simple. There are three ways to change positions in war, one is based on military merit, one is based on transfer orders, and the other is the fastest updated
Our own artillery bombardment will end soon, and then the only unit that can regain the position will be his incomplete infantry battalion. In any case, just transfer the troops there, and when the superiors investigate, I can express my feelings.
The battalion did not desert and regained its position as soon as possible.
Many soldiers in the whole battalion did not understand the thoughts of their division commander. In short, they risked huge risks to return to the bombed position. Maybe their own artillery could take them away in a wave with the second round of artillery fire. As soldiers, they only
Able to obey orders from superiors.
In this way, the infantry battalion finally returned to the camp that had been smashed by artillery fire. The situation of the position was even worse. The trenches had been flattened, the buildings disappeared, and the corpses were gone. All that was left was the black earth and large and small bodies.
Small crater.
"It's so miserable here! I still regained the position!" After coughing a few times, Lawrence stood here in a helpless manner. Since the radio was damaged, he was unable to report the news to the friendly forces immediately, so he could only order a few people to run to the ground on two legs.
The position of the friendly forces. In order to urge him, he even pretended to be nervous and said: "You guys, it's best to report the intelligence before our artillery bombs again. You are responsible for the comfort of the whole battalion."
Of course, the messengers ran away, as if they were being chased by monsters. At least in Lawrence's field of vision, these people did not slow down at all.
In this way, Lotharheim's bodies had been wiped out in the bombing, and only the remnants of an infantry battalion returned here. The soldiers got into the craters one by one to serve as positions, and their guns were aimed south.
Just to the southeast of them, Balzen's troops continued to advance. The Soviet army was not disturbed by the loud noise from the artillery shelling, and the entire marching formation was not disrupted.
Deployment of scouts to clear the way is what commanders of all ** units would do. Even though he believed that the front was the original camp, Balzen still sent out a platoon of scouts. After all, this is a war zone, and incredible things can happen.
On the way back, the two sisters, Star Tao and Natasha, kept holding hands. As sniper partners, they never left each other. It would be a lie if they were not tired. When the battle calmed down and the nervous spirit returned to calm, Natasha
Sha's big yawn immediately resonated with her sisters.
"I'm so tired! Bessika, we should really take a nap when we get back to our position."
"Yes, I'm also very hungry. We fight lightly, without even a piece of ribs." Star Tao couldn't help but sigh as he touched his shriveled belly.
She had heard her husband talk about the concept of blood sugar. Some people would faint from exhaustion after a high-intensity battle, which meant that the blood was sugar-free. Is the blood sweet? Why did she have to endure the blood during the operation? Carambola didn't think so.
More, she only thought about sugar. If she could drink a cup of black tea with sugar, it would be an extremely enjoyable experience.
Just as the girls were complaining, suddenly a strong aroma wafted into their nostrils.
Two opened meat cans were placed in front of the girl, and a honest and rude voice came: "Eat it, these were just seized."
Starfruit excitedly picked up the can and turned his head suddenly, "Igor, you are so thoughtful."
It's a real pleasure to have a meal on the way back. The German canned meat is also a piece of meat soaked in thick fat. Starfruit drank the fat without hesitation and ate the meat in three mouthfuls. This canned meat is just that.
Throw it away.
Seeing the two girls eating badly, Igor couldn't say much and just looked at them with a smile.
Balzen did not stop the soldiers from eating the spoils now. Anyway, there were not many cans and pieces of bread seized. It would be good for everyone to eat them to replenish their physical strength. Seeing that the troops were about to return to the camp, the next step was to order the entire army to rest.
.
The entire army marched step by step and maintained a slow speed of only four kilometers per hour. The enemy's combat effectiveness was only this, and there was no need to worry about them catching up. Balzen made a rough calculation and found that it would take at least noon for the entire army to return to their positions.
At twelve o'clock, it should be time to send a report to the division headquarters!
"I really don't know what the teacher would think. I haven't sent back a message all morning. Do they think we have lost contact?"
As Balzen walked, he was thinking about how to report to his superiors when he returned to the position.
But the sudden gunshot ended all his thoughts and made the relaxed soldiers nervous again.
"Damn! There are enemies!" Natasha quickly took off her rifle and reflexively ran behind a big tree.
But this is true for some soldiers, except for some people in the youth camp who did not respond well to emergencies at all.
Until Balzen shouted for everyone to take cover, the marching troops immediately took cover relying on the vegetation.
Star Tao hunched over and rushed to Natasha's hidden tree trunk, lying down next to the sisters who were aiming in the direction of the gunfire, and raised the binoculars.
"Besica, you are too sensitive! All I can see in my sniper scope is tree trunks. What are you looking at with the telescope?"
"Of course the enemy!"
"Please, the enemy is not a pine tree. He cannot suddenly jump out. Listen! The gunfire is still far away."
"It's very far!" Yang Tao's face was expressionless, and she was full of vigilance. "Natasha, the place where the gunfire came from was none other than our position! It must be the Germans, they and our left-behind personnel.
The fight started."
Hearing this, who can not be surprised? In fact, many people immediately understood that they stormed the enemy's position, but encountered the enemy in their hometown.
"No! We have very few troops left in the position, and some of them are wounded. If the enemy's troops are strong, our people can't defeat them at all!" Natasha gritted her teeth and tightened the gun barrel, and she stopped taking aim.
He immediately put away his gun. "It's such a pity. I thought the battle would come to an end, but now we still have to fight the enemy. I really don't know how many there are in them."
"No matter how many enemies there are, we still have to fight." Star Tao put down the binoculars and looked at his sisters. "My dear, how many enemies did you hit last time? It is said to be three hundred or one hundred! Anyway, you can
You have fired all 700 rounds of ammunition, and now it is time for you to refresh your record."
Natasha nodded. Her record was already 207. Although she didn't know the female sniper Pavlichenko, her record exceeded 289. She was the number one female sniper in the world!
Thinking of this, the original fatigue was swept away and the thought of rest disappeared. The female warrior now only wanted to fight.
She loudly asked Igor, who was hiding behind another tree trunk: "Do we still have enough ammunition? We will go to fight the Nazis later."
"Of course it's enough! It's enough for you to fight until the end of the battle and change the rifling!"
When Igor said this, the girls felt relieved. This strong man carried a large amount of ammunition, he was a walking ammunition depot!
What happened in his hometown? The sentry quickly returned, staggering back with a few people who stayed behind in the position. Of course, their return was accompanied by increasingly louder gunfire.
At this time, Balzen finally realized his dire situation. "My God, are there more than a thousand enemies? We hit the enemy on the head, and they turn around and kick my ass? I must take back the position, otherwise the political commissar will be killed."
Chapter completed!
