When the disgraced Hu Biao lifted his head up from behind a circular position built with sandbags, he immediately spit out a mouthful of sand crazily.
That was about ten seconds ago, facing a black aerial bomb dropped by a Stuka dive bomber.
The only thing Hu Biao could do at that time was to cover his head with both hands while lying down.
Fortunately, this aerial bomb landed more than 10 meters away from the circular position, and most of the huge impact of the explosion was blocked by the sandbags.
Unfortunately, due to the huge power of the explosion, the large amounts of sand and snow thrown up were unavoidable.
For a moment, Hu Biao had to open his mouth because he was worried that his ears would be deafened, but his mouth was immediately stuffed with sand.
After he finished vomiting, Hu Biao set up his light machine gun which was pushed several meters away by the shock wave.
Then, when Hu Biao and the others could only withstand the indiscriminate bombardment from German sticks, an even bigger bad news came.
First, the walkie-talkie hung on Hu Biao's left shoulder suddenly began to rustle.
A few moments later, Fei Falcon was filled with panic, and accompanied by a sound of a huge explosion, it reached Hu Biao's ears:
"Lao Hu, Lao Hu, are you there?"
Hu Biao didn't even need to ask why Feifan was so panicked; he naturally knew that something had definitely happened at Mamayev Hill.
But just how bad the situation was, he still planned to ask.
But soon, Hu Biao knew that there was no need to ask.
Because in the next second, in the heads of him and all the members of the Zhongzhou team, a cold mechanical sound from the system sounded at the same time:
"Please note that all members of the Central Continent Team are aware that the current Mamayev Heights has been completely occupied by the German side, and the 4-hour countdown has officially begun.
If the Zhongzhou team fails to regain part of the position before the countdown ends, the second phase of the mission will be considered a failure."
Under such an abrupt system sound, Hu Biao suddenly laughed bitterly.
Currently, they were facing a bunch of planes overhead, but it was difficult for them to persevere. As a result, something happened again at Mamayev Heights. Isn't this nonsense?
But when they thought about the punishment of randomly wiping out 5 people if the second phase of the mission failed, they seemed to have no other choice.
Fight up, take back part of the Mamayev Hills position as quickly as possible, and hold on for a while.
The above approach is the only thing they can do at present.
In a tumble, he came to Comrade Chekov, who was holding his head and hiding under a corner.
After patting the other party's shoulder to attract the other party's attention, he said seriously:
"Comrade Chekhov, I have just received a report from Comrade Fei Falcon, saying that the Mamayev Hill side has been completely lost."
After hearing such a statement, the official comrades, who had turned pale under the fierce air raids, now turned as pale as a piece of paper.
No matter how new he is in military command, he still knows the importance of Mamayev Hill.
After this place was lost, it would be a disastrous consequence; once the German troops established an artillery position on the top of the mountain, all the defensive positions in the city would be wiped out little by little by the German troops.
Eventually all the defenders will be driven out, leaving Volgograd in the hands of the Germans.
Under such circumstances, Hu Biao expressed his proposal:
"The matter is urgent and we don't have time to ask for instructions from our superiors; let's do this, Comrade Chekov, please contact Comrade Deputy Director of the Factory and ask him to quickly send someone to take over our position.
As for our new regiment, we will immediately go to support Mamayev Hills. After all, it is more important than the tractor factory; don’t worry! Even if we all die, we must take it back."
The reason why Hu Biao said this was because he had his own considerations in it.
The main reason is that there are not many people left in the Zhongzhou team, and they really don't have much confidence in completing such a difficult task with their own strength.
In this way, the strength of the hundred or so men in the new regiment becomes extremely precious.
It has to be said that Comrade Chekov's official leadership has no problem at all in terms of ideological consciousness.
After hearing what Hu Biao said, he immediately made a promise: "Comrade Hu Biao, don't worry, I will communicate with you at the front army headquarters; even if there is any responsibility, I, Chekov, will keep an eye on it for you.
I believe that Comrade Deputy Director of the Tractor Factory can also understand the mission of adhering to the mission of the Tractor Factory, so you can go with peace of mind."
Damn it! Can this guy talk? It’s as if Hu Biao went away this time and will never come back.
But without waiting for Hu Biao to complain, for example, let Comrade Chekhov, a member of the official committee, give them a good blessing; if they could sing a more festive song to send them off, that would be a better result.
Chekhov's official then asked a question, which confused Hu Biao's thinking:
"Warehouse manager, Lao Yang, you are fooling them. Aren't many people from your Bria company not back yet? Why don't you wait for them to come back and then set off together?"
"It's too late. The best opportunity to counterattack is while those German sticks are not yet firmly established. We can't waste any minute now."
After Hu Biao took a look at the direction of Mamayev Hill and found that the fighting noises there were so far away and could be clearly distinguished, he made a decisive decision.
To this end, he took advantage of a gap where the sound of nearby artillery fire and explosions subsided.
He raised his voice and shouted with all his strength:
"Everyone, come with me. For the sake of the great Motherland, for the great Comrade Steel, and for the great Volgograd, let us take back Mamayev Heights."
After saying that, Hu Biao took the lead and rushed out in the direction of Mamayev Hill.
As for the above slogan, which is very characteristic of Maozi, Hu Biao shouted it out so smoothly, but it was just because he had been here for a long time.
As for the other members of the team, Hu Biao still has enough confidence.
Although these guys may seem unreliable at ordinary times, they will never let him down when the critical moment comes.
Hu Biao was certain that after hearing the notification from the system, he would spontaneously rush to the battle at Mamayev Heights to participate in the battle as soon as possible.
There is still a little bit of tacit understanding in combat.
Under Hu Biao's slogan, many team members hiding in the corners and Maozi soldiers raised their weapons one after another.
Following Comrade Lieutenant Hu Biao, who was already moving, we set off from here.
Then, an aerial bomb fell from the sky, blasting the five Maozi soldiers who had just run out of the bunker into pieces.
When Hu Biao turned around and saw this scene, he was so distressed that he started to tremble.
It's just that he continued to move forward without stopping at all; he even simply turned his head again and never looked at the tragic situation behind him.
It was precisely because of this that he didn't see the figures of the fake foreigners, Xu Feng, Xiling, and other seriously injured people who were stumbling up behind him.
Xu Feng, like Xiling, both supported their weak bodies in anger and began to participate in this crucial battle.
Only AT struggled to get up, but the strong feeling of weakness all over his body made him give up such a plan with great regret...
