According to Lieutenant Bisklev's order, half of them put on German uniforms and carried German equipment and original weapons. A soldier playing the role of a prisoner asked Bisklev curiously: "Comrade Lieutenant,
Why do they carry two weapons?"
"This is not simple. Now that we have captured the prisoner, we also seized the prisoner's weapons. Isn't this normal?"
"Comrade Lieutenant, I think we should hold this weapon ourselves." The soldier continued: "When we encounter the enemy, I can shoot and kill them immediately."
Hearing what the soldier said, Bisklev stared: "Do the prisoners you captured still have guns in their hands? If they let them go over the hill later, the Germans see someone holding a weapon among the prisoners.
, then won’t we be exposed? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pretend to be your prisoner honestly.”
When the unit escorting the prisoners crossed the hill and appeared in the sight of the German troops on the farm, a German officer in the trench raised his binoculars and looked at them. He saw that the second lieutenant under his command seemed to be injured and was being beaten by a gunman.
With a soldier on his back, he slowly walked down the hill. There were also a dozen soldiers escorting a similar number of Russian prisoners of war following closely behind.
The officer put down his telescope and returned to his command post. To be honest, he didn't pay attention to the small-scale sneak attack just now. He only sent one platoon of troops and wiped them out easily.
When Bisklev's troops arrived not far from the trench, a German soldier on duty casually asked: "Have you wiped out all the Russians who came to attack?"
The sergeant lying on the soldier's back said vaguely: "They are all wiped out."
"Second Lieutenant Handel," the German soldier noticed the sergeant being carried on his back and asked with concern: "Are you wounded?"
"Yes, I'm injured," the sergeant replied briefly.
The talkative German soldier continued to ask: "Where is the injury?"
"Leg, I was shot in the leg..." The sergeant wanted to say a few more perfunctory words, but he got stuck because of his nervousness and couldn't even formulate a complete sentence for a while.
The German soldier immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly picked up the rifle on his shoulder. His reaction was very quick, but he was still a step too slow. Bisklev, who was walking at the front, stabbed the opponent with the bayonet he had prepared.
While holding his chest, he also covered his mouth to prevent his screams from alerting other Germans.
After the soldiers on duty were killed, Bisklev quickly looked around and found that there were no enemies at all. He made a gesture to the soldiers behind him, telling them to seize their position immediately.
Except for some of the German soldiers on the position who were chasing the fleeing Soviet troops, the rest were sleeping in the shelter. Yesterday's progress was so smooth that the German officers and soldiers had an illusion that the Soviet troops fighting against them were
Vulnerable. Moreover, when they were alerted by the gunfire, they were all standing in the trenches and saw the enemy on the top of the hill firing a burst of gunfire and then running away.
The company commander sent a platoon of troops to pursue them. It didn't take long to annihilate all the reckless Russians, and even captured some of them. Seeing this, the soldiers all went back to their shelters to sleep.
Gone to sleep.
It was precisely because the Germans underestimated the enemy that Lieutenant Bisklev was able to lead his troops into the German positions as if they were in no man's territory, and eliminated the German soldiers who were still sleeping in the shelter one by one.
When Bisklev and two soldiers were about to break into the German company command post and kill the officers inside, a German soldier wearing a steel helmet walked out of it. When he saw what appeared in front of him,
The Soviet soldiers, after a brief moment of astonishment, immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Russians, the Russians are coming..."
Although Bisklev killed him with a bayonet in time, his voice still alerted the officers in the command post. He quickly grabbed the pistol on the table, hid on the side of the door, and aimed the gun at the door.
Be prepared to shoot as soon as someone comes in. As soon as a reckless soldier rushed into the command post, he was shot in the head by a German officer and fell on his back at the door.
Seeing the soldier rushing in front of him fall under the enemy's gunfire, Bisklev immediately fired into the room with a submachine gun. After half a shot in one breath, he bent down and grabbed the sacrificed soldier's shoulder and pulled him to the door.
After dragging the soldier's body to the trench, Bisklev threw a unstrung grenade into the command post.
After a loud "boom", before the smoke cleared, Bisklev rushed into the command post first. He only saw the table that was blown away by the blast wave, and the German officer lying in a pool of blood. He bent
He looked at the opponent's military rank and saw that he was a captain, probably the commander of the garrison company here.
Bisklev turned to the sergeant who was carried through the door and said, "Sergeant, please check quickly. Is there any valuable information here?"
With the help of the soldiers, the sergeant stood on the ground with one foot, took the document handed to him by Bisklev, and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a moment, he said in surprise: "Comrade Lieutenant, here is a copy of the German army's
Defense map on the farm."
Bisklev took it and took a look. It turned out to be a detailed defense plan. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Great, this is really great. Come here." He rolled up the blueprint and handed it to a man who just came in.
The soldier ordered him, "You should return to the brigade headquarters immediately and give this defense plan to the brigade commander."
"Comrade Lieutenant," the sergeant asked Bisklev tentatively after the soldiers who delivered the message left, "the sound of gunfire and explosions must have alerted the nearby enemies. What should we do next?"
"We have to find a way to defend here." Bisklev said to the sergeant: "This way, when our main force launches the attack, we can capture one less position to reduce unnecessary casualties."
"There are only about forty of us," the sergeant asked worriedly, "Can we hold on?"
"We can definitely hold it." After Bisklev said this, he said to the sergeant standing aside: "Comrade Sergeant, send someone to check the position to see if there are any weapons that can be used. The enemy will attack later.
It might come in handy when we launch a massive attack here."
The sound of gunfire and explosions on the position had already alerted the German troops in the distant position. Not long ago, the German commander received a call from the commander of the garrison company, saying that the small unit sent to pursue the Russians had returned smoothly, and even
They also brought back a lot of prisoners. After the commander heard the news, he was very happy. But when he heard the gunshots and explosions coming from the position, he immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly called the commander of the garrison company.
Want to find out what happened.
However, the phone call could not be reached at all. The commander realized that something must have gone wrong on the forward position, and quickly called a subordinate and said to him: "There must be something wrong with the garrison company's position. You should take the troops over there immediately to have a look. There must be something wrong."
Has it been occupied by the Russians? If the Russians are discovered, we must find a way to eliminate them. Even if they cannot be eliminated, we must find a way to drive them away from our positions."
As soon as the German troops on this position were dispatched, Bisklev discovered it. He even noticed that behind the incoming German troops, there was a building, which should be a farm office or something. There were vehicles parked at the door.
Judging from the motorcycles, it was at least a regiment-level headquarters. Unfortunately, it was too far away. His troops did not carry any heavy weapons, so they could not destroy the building that was seven or eight hundred meters away.
When the German army was still more than 300 meters away from the position, the sergeant ran to Bisklev's side panting and reported to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, we found two of the latest MG42 machine guns in the enemy's position.
, there is even a 76.2 mm cannon belonging to our army."
"What, there are cannons?" Bisklev was a little surprised when he learned that artillery was also found on the position: "Is it true?"
"Comrade Lieutenant," the sergeant replied, "according to my judgment, this cannon should have belonged to our army, but it fell into the hands of the Germans when the farm was lost."
"Are there any cannonballs?"
"Yes, there are about thirty rounds."
"There are still more than thirty rounds, that's enough." Bisklev turned to the sergeant and said, "Go and ask immediately who has been an artilleryman."
"What do we need artillery for?" the sergeant asked in confusion.
"Do you see that stretch of buildings in the distance?"
"I saw it," the sergeant nodded and said: "Judging from the style of the building, it should be the Soviet office on the farm. It is probably regarded by the Germans as their headquarters at this moment."
"Comrade Sergeant, I think so too." Bisklev said with a smile: "I think it is at least a regiment-level headquarters. Now that we have artillery, we can destroy them with artillery fire from a long distance. But here
Before, we had to find two people who had been artillerymen."
"Don't worry, Comrade Lieutenant, I will find the artillery as soon as possible." The sergeant said, and ran forward along the trench. As he ran, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Who has been an artilleryman, who has been an artilleryman?
Squeak!"
When an elderly soldier heard the shouting, he raised his hand and said to the sergeant: "The sergeant said, I used to be an artilleryman."
"Great, this is great." The sergeant pulled the old soldier up and shouted: "Who else is an artilleryman? Who else is an artilleryman?"
After a lot of running around, the sergeant finally found three soldiers who had been artillerymen. When he saw that they were almost there, he led them to the cannon and said to them: "Comrade Lieutenant has an order to destroy the cannon with artillery fire."
The enemy headquarters in the distance is seven or eight hundred meters away from here. Are you sure you can hit the target?"
"Comrade Sergeant," the veteran soldier was the first to speak. He asked tentatively: "I would like to ask, how many artillery shells do we have?"
"More than thirty rounds."
"There are still more than thirty rounds." After listening to the sergeant's words, the old soldier showed a relaxed expression on his face: "That's enough."
What Bisklev targeted was a German regiment-level command post. At this moment, the German commander inside already knew that a group of Russians had occupied the position at the edge of the farm, so he called a German battalion commander and ordered him
Said: "Major, immediately send troops to eliminate this group of Russians who have broken into our defense zone."
"Don't worry, Mr. Colonel." After receiving the call from the regiment commander, the German battalion commander who had already dispatched troops replied carelessly: "I have already dispatched troops. I believe it won't take long to clear out this occupation."
Russians in our positions."
Neither the German commander nor the battalion commander paid any attention to Bisklev's troops. According to their thinking, with a small force of dozens of people and at most one company attacking, they could be defeated.
Drive them out of their own position, and there is even a possibility of annihilating them all.
But what surprised the German commander was that when his troops were still more than 200 meters away from the trench, the sound of machine gun shooting suddenly sounded from the position. The MG42 machine gun, known as "Hitler's chainsaw", began to harvest crazily.
The lives of the German soldiers were dying. When he saw his men falling in pieces like cut down rice fields, the German battalion commander stamped his feet anxiously. He shouted repeatedly: "Artillery, artillery, provide artillery support to our infantry immediately.
.”
The German mortar has a range of only 500 meters, and the gunners now established a firing position 400 meters away from the trench. After receiving the order from the battalion commander, they immediately launched artillery bombardments at the Soviet positions in the distance.
Clouds of black smoke rose from the Soviet position. One of the mortar rounds accurately hit a machine gun, blowing the machine gun into pieces on the spot. The machine gunner and deputy shooter were also killed. Passed.
Soon, another machine gun also stopped firing. It is unknown whether it was destroyed by artillery fire or moved to another position.
"Sergeant, Sergeant." Seeing that his position was being shelled by the Germans, Bisklev couldn't help but be a little anxious. The reconnaissance force under his command was not a regular army. It would be too wasteful to fight the enemy in a positional battle. He sent Sergeant
Called to the front, he ordered: "Immediately order the artillery to fire. As long as the enemy's headquarters is destroyed, the enemy will fall into chaos. Then we will be more certain to hold our position."
The sergeant agreed, bent over and ran to the cannon position, and said to the veteran soldier: "Comrade Lieutenant has an order to immediately bombard the building in the distance, and it must be completely destroyed in the shortest possible time."
"Load!" the old soldier ordered the ammunition hand, and then began to aim at the target in the distance. Soon, he reported to the sergeant: "Comrade Sergeant, I have adjusted the angle and distance, and I can design it at any time."
!”
"Fire! Kill all the Germans in the building."
"Yes!" When a young soldier heard what the sergeant said, he suddenly pulled the gun rope in his hand. There was a loud "boom" and a ball of flame spewed out from the flat muzzle.
A few seconds later, the shell landed a few meters away from the building and exploded. A cloud of black soil rose into the sky. Seeing that it had not hit the target, the old soldier turned to the ammunition hand and shouted: "Keep loading!"
When the ammunition hand picked up the cannonball and pushed it into the barrel again, he adjusted the shooting angle and shooting range again.
After the veteran soldier finished his work, he turned around again and shouted to the artilleryman: "Fire!" The artilleryman heard the veteran soldier's cry and jerked the gun rope in his hand, only to hear a "boom" sound and the shells
Out again.
This time the shells did not hit the open space, but accurately hit the buildings. The buildings on the farm were not made of brick-concrete structures or reinforced concrete. They were just double-layered wooden boards. How could they block it?
The house that housed the shells collapsed with a loud explosion, and many of the German officers and soldiers in the house were buried in the rubble.
