The German snipers were very cunning. After firing one shot, no matter whether they hit the target or not, they did not fire a second shot. Instead, they retreated into the crater, leaving Matvey and the others unable to do anything to him.
A very embarrassing scene formed on the battlefield: the German artillery knew that there were Soviet snipers on the battlefield, but could not find where they were hiding; the German snipers knew where Matvey and the others were, but his retreat was
But it was blocked, and there was no way to notify the artillery troops to bombard Matvey and the others.
The three German officers and soldiers hiding behind the jeep were now in a dilemma. This place was almost a hundred meters away from their own position. If they ran over, they would definitely be killed by Soviet snipers. But if they continued
Staying here, I don’t know how long it will take to escape.
When there was a deadlock on the battlefield, the second battalion commander called Bindasov to complain. After listening, the colonel said coldly: "I understand. I will tell you when I come up with a solution."
."
After hanging up the phone of the second battalion commander, he dialed the number of the first battalion headquarters. As soon as he heard Jetrov's voice coming from the receiver, he immediately asked straight to the point: "Comrade Captain, I heard that you guys are today
Some unpleasant things happened with the Second and Third Battalions, but I don’t know if there is such a thing?”
When Bindasov asked this question, Jetrov knew that the second battalion commander had made a small report about himself in front of him, and quickly replied: "Yes, comrade commander, because of the fight for the sniper position, something happened
A little bit unpleasant.”
"I also heard," Bindasov waited for Jetrov to finish, then asked, "I heard that the joint sniper teams of the second and third battalions were attacked by German artillery and snipers.
The entire army was destroyed, but you did not take any action to counter the enemy. Is this true?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander, there is such a thing." Jetrov thought that the matter had reached this point anyway, so he simply admitted: "The German army only has one sniper in front of the position. If we want to eliminate him,
, and exposing the machine gun firepower points on the position and attracting artillery fire coverage from the Germans will be more costly than gain."
Before Bindasov could speak, he heard someone behind him asking: "Comrade Colonel, who are you talking to?"
Bindasov turned around and saw that the person who asked him was actually Sokov. He quickly handed the microphone to his left hand, raised his hand and saluted a military salute, and then said: "Comrade Division Commander, I am talking to the Acting Battalion Commander of the 1st Battalion, Jay
Captain Trove on the phone."
Before entering the door, Sokov vaguely heard the conversation between Bindasov and Jetrov, but with only a few words, he could not figure out what was going on, so he stretched out his hand to Bindasov and said to
He said: "Give me the microphone, I want to speak to Captain Jetrov."
After talking with Jetrov, Sokov figured out what was going on and said into the microphone: "Comrade Captain, you are doing the right thing. You cannot easily expose the fire position on the position for a sniper. If you invite
The German artillery fire retaliated, and our losses would be great."
After putting down the phone, Sokov turned to Bindasov and said: "Comrade Colonel, although our snipers achieved good results yesterday, they are not professional snipers. When facing the well-trained snipers of the German army,
, they will inevitably suffer a big loss. It seems that not only must they be replaced with special guns, but they must also be organized to conduct relevant training."
"Comrade division commander, please forgive me." Bindasov waited for Sokov to finish and said with some confusion: "Although more than thirty German soldiers were eliminated in yesterday's sniper operation, if we want to finally
To resolve the battle, we still need a formal face-to-face decisive battle between our main force and the enemy."
When Sokov saw that Bindasov still didn't pay attention to snipers up to this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with him. What Sokov was thinking about was that in a few months, the battle to defend Stalingrad would take place.
It's about to begin. If your troops are transferred to that city, then in addition to regular combat, more time will be spent on the competition between the snipers of both sides. At this moment, it is time to take advantage of the confrontation with the German army on the Zizdra River.
Opportunity to train a group of snipers.
Therefore, he resolutely said to Bindasov: "Comrade Colonel, judging from yesterday's results, it is completely necessary to form a sniper squad. The joint sniper squads of the second and third battalions were eliminated purely by accident.
, you call them immediately and ask them to organize a new team to continue the sniper mission against the German army."
After more than an hour of stalemate in various aspects on the battlefield, the enemy hiding behind the jeep finally lost his composure. The German driver crawled towards the position in a crawling posture. His purpose of doing so was to cast stones to ask for directions and see what the Soviet troops were doing.
Whether the sniper has left; secondly, he stayed outside the jeep for too long and was almost frozen, so he wanted to go back to the position to warm up as soon as possible.
Matvey saw the German driver with his butt raised high and crawling toward the position like a maggot. He did not fire immediately, but watched the driver's crawling performance with interest. He waited until the driver was only twenty meters away from the position.
At that moment, Matvey aimed at the driver's butt and fired a shot. The bullet hit the driver's butt accurately, and the huge impact caused him to roll twice on the spot. After he stopped, there was a sound coming from the wound.
The pain caused him to scream in agony.
A German soldier who was staying at the fortification saw the driver shot and lying not far away from him. He quickly bent over and emerged from the trench. After he came to the driver's side, he grabbed one of the driver's arms and went to the driver.
He pulled in the direction of the trench. Matvey sneered, aimed at the German soldier and fired a shot, causing him to fall to the ground.
Matvey turned to look at the jeep that was still parked in the open ground. He could vaguely see two German officers and soldiers hiding behind it. He thought for a while, then took out an armor-piercing incendiary bomb from his backpack and pressed it into the jeep.
He took out the magazine of his rifle and aimed at the jeep mailbox in the distance. He had delayed using armor-piercing incendiary bombs just now because he didn't have much confidence that he could accurately hit the target in the distance. Now they didn't want to delay the Germans any longer.
, so I decided to give it a try.
After Matvey pulled the trigger again, the armor-piercing incendiary bomb accurately hit the fuel tank. The jeep was instantly blown into a fireball. A German soldier hiding behind the car was blown out and fell heavily to the ground.
After landing on the ground, he lay there motionless. Another officer, covered in fire, screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire on his body. Matvey fired a shot at the rolling figure.
Completely ending his suffering.
After doing all this, he turned his attention to the area where the German snipers were hiding, and whispered: "Now, it's my turn to deal with you."
