As soon as the two of them lay down, they heard an earth-shattering explosion not far away. The huge explosion shocked Sokov's eardrums so much that it hurt, as if someone had stabbed him with an awl.
It was like a sudden explosion. The explosion of the heavy artillery shell blasted a huge crater on the gravel road, and the gravel kicked up by the air wave flew everywhere. Several falling gravel hit Sokov's helmet and body.
There was a clanging sound and the pain made him grin.
"Misha," Asia, who was pressed under him, asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"
Although Asiya almost spoke in his ear, the voice Sokov heard was very soft. If he didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't be able to hear what Asiya was saying. He knew that his ears were being heard.
The sound of the explosion just now made it difficult for him to use it. He said loudly: "It's okay, I'm okay! What about you, Asiya, are you not injured?"
Asiya was unexpectedly pushed to the ground by Sokov. She fell so hard that her hands were bruised. But in order to prevent Sokov from worrying about herself, she pretended to be fine and said: "
Misha, I'm fine. You are too heavy, don't press me, I can hardly breathe."
Sokov quickly moved his body and lay on the roadside side by side with Asiya. He listened to the scream of the shells passing through the air and judged the location of the landing to decide whether to move.
Amidst the explosions one after another, Asiya leaned close to Sokov's ear and asked loudly: "Misha, from which direction did the shells fly?"
"North, definitely north." Sokov figured out the direction of the artillery shells in the shortest possible time. "Only that direction is still under the control of the Germans."
"Misha," Asiya continued to ask, "have you noticed that most of the German shells fall on the streets and rarely hit houses? Do you think there are German spies lurking in the city?"
Hearing Asiya's words, Sokov couldn't help but raise his head and look forward, only to see the German artillery fire extending and shooting, and at the other end of the street, clouds of explosive smoke were rising. But the situation was just like Asiya's.
As has been observed, most artillery shells fall on the streets and explode, and few directly hit buildings.
Are there really German spies hiding in the city, providing shooting parameters for the German artillery outside the city? Thinking of this, Sokov couldn't help but sit up and look at the surrounding buildings, trying to figure out where the German spies would be hiding.
place. But when he turned around, he saw two tankers sitting with their backs to the tank. One tanker was bandaging the two people with a first-aid kit. The tanker who just asked Asiya for his mailing address was lying motionless on the ground.
, I don’t know if he was stunned or died.
Although Sokov was full of dissatisfaction with the tank soldiers hooking up with Asiya. But at this moment, he saw that several tank soldiers were injured, so he quickly reached out and shook Asiya. Seeing that the other party responded, he moved his hand towards the tank.
Pointing there, he said to her: "Asia, some tank crews are injured. Go and help them quickly."
Asiya stood up and looked towards the tank soldier. She couldn't help but exclaimed. She hurriedly got up from the ground and trotted over. She first bent down to check the tank soldier lying on the ground, felt his pulse with her hand, and then
Chong Sokov shook his head, indicating that he was hopeless. Then he stood up, bent down and ran to the tank, helping the tankman bandage the wounded.
Sokov saw that the enemy's artillery attack had gradually shifted towards the direction of the headquarters. He was worried that Chernyshev would be in danger, so he leaned close to Asiya's ear and said loudly to her: "Asiya
, I’m going to the division headquarters to take a look, and you’ll stay here to take care of the wounded. Do you understand?”
Sokov knew Asiya's character very well and knew that if he directly said that he wanted to go to the division headquarters, she would definitely go with him. In order to prevent her from taking risks with him, he specifically asked her to stay and take care of her.
The wounded. After hearing what Sokov said, Asya, who was busy treating the wounded, nodded and said equally loudly: "Misha, you have to be more careful!"
Sokov walked along the street, and as soon as he ran to the street where the division headquarters was located, he was blinded by the pungent and choking gunpowder smoke drifting along the street. He covered his nose and mouth with his sleeves, carefully
The ground is moving forward.
"Hey, Comrade Captain, where are you going?" Sokov was walking forward when he suddenly heard someone calling him next to him. He turned around and saw no one. He thought he heard wrongly and was about to call again.
As I walked forward, I heard someone shouting impatiently: "Hey, Comrade Captain, are you deaf or something? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
Sokov looked in the direction of the sound for a long time, and then he discovered that there was a square hole on the ground outside a building next to him. An officer wearing a helmet was waving to him desperately. Sokov
The husband quickly bent over, ran over, and jumped into the square hole.
After jumping in, Sokov discovered that it was a long traffic trench, but because it was covered with a thick layer of wooden boards, and there was a lot of mud piled messily on the wooden boards, Sokov didn't wait.
Its existence was discovered in time. When the officer saw Sokov coming in, he asked with an unhappy face: "Comrade Captain, which section are you in? Why are you running around during enemy shelling? You are not afraid of being blown up by enemy shells."
Die?"
Sokov glanced at the other party's collar badge and found that it was a major. He quickly straightened up and replied: "Comrade Major, I am the commander of the Istria Battalion, and I am about to go to the division headquarters to find Division Commander Chernyshev...
…”
"Who is looking for me?" Before Sokov could finish his words, a familiar voice sounded from the other end of the traffic trench: "Come here!"
Sokov agreed and bent forward as he walked forward. With the light coming from the gaps in the planks, he saw that the ground of the traffic trench was full of commanders and soldiers. When he passed by, everyone put their feet back in front of them.
So as not to trip him up.
Seeing Sokov coming to him, Chernyshev, who was sitting on the ground, raised his hand and pressed down on him, saying: "Comrade Captain, if you have anything to say, sit down and say it. The space in the traffic trench is too short.
You can't stand up straight." After seeing Sokov obeying his order and sitting down in front of him, he asked again, "Captain Sokov, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Comrade division commander." Sokov quickly replied: "I sent the captured howitzers to the city on your order."
"Yes, yes, I did order you to bring all the captured howitzers to the city." Chernyshev said with a smile: "But I didn't order you to come to the city!" He paused.
After a moment, he continued, "I remembered that yesterday you sent a group of wounded people to the field hospital, and a beautiful female health worker came with them. If I guessed correctly, you may have planned to send howitzers.
, you came to the city specially to see her, right?"
Sokov did not speak, but just grinned, acquiescing to the matter. He paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered the shelling being suffered in the city, and asked Chernyshev tentatively: "Comrade division commander, I think the German army
The artillery fire was very strange. The targets of their shelling were all on the streets, not buildings. After a period of shelling, their targets gradually turned to our headquarters. I thought there must be German spies in the city, who were constantly attacking us.
The German artillery outside the city provided various design parameters."
"Sokov, I agree with what you said. If there was no one to guide the direction of the German artillery, they would never be able to shoot so accurately." Chernyshev raised his head and glanced through the gap in the wooden planks.
There was smoke outside, and he said helplessly: "But in this case, we can't do anything. We can only send people to search after the shelling is over."
