Diana accurately translated Xu Rui's words. After hearing this, the veteran gritted his teeth and stood up, shouting hoarsely: "We are not cowards, we are not cowards!"
"Dawahiri, follow me!" the veteran roared, and the soldiers behind him pushed the anti-tank cannon to turn around and pounce forward!
Seeing this scene, Xu Rui nodded. These Soviets still have blood and backbone. As long as their fighting spirit is stimulated, Moscow will be able to persist until it repels the German attack.
Xu Rui led these military academy cadets and two combat anti-aircraft guns forward, gathering the scattered Soviet soldiers along the way. When they arrived at the position, about a hundred people had gathered around Xu Rui.
Assign tasks to these people immediately.
"Pheasant, I'll leave these two anti-tank guns to you. You and the comrades from the artillery company will block the street for me," Xu Rui said.
Pheasant said: "Commander, don't worry, with these two guns, as long as there are enough shells, no matter how many German tanks there are, they won't be able to get through."
Xu Rui stopped paying attention to the pheasant. He observed the terrain and found that the street was about 20 meters wide. Two anti-tank guns were placed in the center, which would be perfect for attacking German tanks.
There were two three-story buildings on both sides of the street. Xu Rui called Bedov over and asked him to lead the military academy cadets into the buildings on both sides. He also moved the heavy machine guns to the roof, forming a crossfire from both wings and blocking the street.
.
Subsequently, Xu Rui asked the remaining people to immediately strengthen the barricade and placed a DSHK heavy machine gun in the center of the barricade, thus forming a three-dimensional firepower network.
The sound of gunfire in the distance was getting closer and closer. A military cadet next to him muttered: "I need to pee!"
Xu Rui knew that it was probably the first time for these students to go to the battlefield, so nervousness was inevitable. Who hasn't had their first time?
"Don't panic, you go pee first. When the Germans come later, take aim and fight again." Xu Rui smiled and then said to Diana, "Diana, it's too dangerous here. You go back first and wait until this battle is over.
I'll find you again."
Diana shook her head and said: "No, Comrade Xu Rui, I want to fight with you." Diana said in an unusually firm tone.
Xu Rui said coldly: "Comrade Diana, you will hinder my fight here, please leave immediately!"
Diana's eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth and said, "Comrade Xu Rui, I want to stay by your side and share life and death with you!"
Xu Rui saw that Diana really didn't want to leave, and that he really needed her when he was commanding, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, you stay. When the Germans come later, you can hide in the back."
Go inside the house and don’t just run around!”
"yes!"
This time Diana agreed. She was really happy at the thought of fighting with Xu Rui.
Everyone felt the tense atmosphere in the air. It won't be long before the Germans are coming. They don't know if they will be able to see the rising sun tomorrow.
No one spoke. Many soldiers wiped the guns in their hands over and over again. Some soldiers leaned against the wall and looked at the sky in the distance with empty and soulless eyes.
Diana also felt the tense atmosphere and said, "Let me sing a song for the comrades."
"While pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, soft gauze floats on the river; Katyusha stands on the steep bank, singing like the bright spring light.
Katyusha stood on the steep bank, singing like bright spring light.
The girl sings beautiful songs, she is singing about the eagle on the grassland; she is singing about her beloved, and she also hides her lover's letters.
She is singing about her beloved, and she also hides her lover’s letters..."
The melodious singing echoed in the air, and everything became quiet. The distant gunshots, cannons, and explosions all seemed to disappear, leaving only Diana's beautiful and emotional singing voice echoing in the air.
Many Soviet soldiers sang along with Diana in a low voice. This song "Katyusha" became a household name in the Soviet Union, and almost every Soviet person could sing it.
This song full of pure love from a young girl made the soldiers lying in the cold trenches holding cold weapons feel the warmth and comfort of love in their souls amidst the unbearable smoke and loneliness.
Gradually, the hands of those military academy cadets no longer trembled, and a warm feeling of spring rose in their hearts, as if they had left the war-torn battlefield, as if they were wandering in the forest grassland hand in hand with their beloved girl...
"Hey~"
"boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, Xu Rui pushed Diana down, dust flew everywhere, and smoke rose into the sky.
After the sound of artillery, a group of German soldiers appeared in everyone's field of vision under the cover of a tank. They were constantly advancing.
"Get ready to fight!" Xu Rui yelled.
Everyone immediately woke up from the tenderness just now.
There is no peace yet. The land of the Soviet Union is being invaded by German fascists. In order to safeguard peace, defend homeland, and see your lovely girl again, you must take up arms and fight the enemy to the end!
Everyone picked up their guns, blood boiling in their chests, and at this moment, the battle began!
"Lu Han, take Diana to the back!" Xu Rui shouted.
"No, I'm not leaving!" said Diana.
However, Lu Han couldn't help but pushed Diana away roughly.
Xu Rui came to the pheasant and said: "Get ready to fire!"
At this time, I saw the veteran of the artillery company running over, leading a dozen soldiers to start opening the ammunition box, and skillfully loading the anti-war artillery.
"boom!"
The veteran fired a cannon, but the shell hit aside.
Pheasant looked on, and Xu Rui said: "Pheasant, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Come and help fire the cannon!"
Pheasant scratched his head and said: "Commander, why is this gun different from the little Japanese's anti-tank gun?"
"Nonsense, the Japanese anti-tank cannon only has a caliber of 37 mm. The Soviet anti-tank cannon has a caliber of 57 mm. Can it be the same? However, the control methods of these anti-tank cannons are similar. Your cannon is the most accurate. Why?
I’ll beat you hard!”
"yes!"
Pheasant responded and immediately began to adjust the angle of the anti-tank gun. The Soviet veteran quickly said: "This won't work, it's impossible to hit!"
Pheasant didn't care about him, pulled the string, and fired a cannon.
Boom! This shot hit the right side of the tank. At this time, the tank also discovered the combat anti-cannon and began to turn the turret in an attempt to knock out the combat anti-cannon.
"Load the cannon!"
The pheasant shouted while adjusting the angle of the anti-tank cannon.
"fire!"
"boom!"
Getting ahead of the German tank guns, the anti-tank guns roared again.
This shot hit the front turret of the German tank, and a ball of flame rose into the sky from the turret.
"Hit!"
Pheasant screamed excitedly. Through debugging, Pheasant had a firm understanding of the performance of this gun. He knew that this gun could completely penetrate the front armor of the No. 4 tank. In this way, the German tanks were restricted.
.
As the German tanks were destroyed, the German infantry lost the cover of the tanks and were immediately fired upon by machine guns on both sides of the roof. After leaving more than a dozen corpses, the German offensive was finally repelled.
"Move the anti-tank guns back immediately!" Xu Rui shouted while gesturing.
However, the Soviet veteran did not want to move back and looked unconvinced.
"If you don't want the cannon to be blown up, move the cannon back quickly!" Xu Rui said while gesturing with his hands. Although the veteran was unconvinced, he still decided to carry out the order and immediately led his men to push the two combat defense cannons.
later.
Not long after the two battle defense guns were pushed away, the Germans pushed out four 75mm infantry guns and bombarded the Soviet defense positions indiscriminately. The focus of the bombing was the battle defense just now.
The location of the gun.
If the infantry artillery had not been removed, it would have been destroyed by now.
Seeing this, the veteran and Beedov gave him thumbs up.
"Master Hala! Comrade Xu Rui, you are so awesome!"
Xu Rui could still understand the phrase "Hala Shao" and knew that Bedofu and the veteran were praising him.
After the shelling, Xu Rui signaled the veterans to push up the combat artillery.
As soon as the cannon was pushed up, the German attack began again. The German tank guns completely suppressed the anti-tank guns and continued to bombard them.
This time, the Germans dispatched four tanks at the same time, followed by more than a hundred soldiers, approaching the alley.
"Four Panzer IV tanks, the Germans want to capture our position at all costs." Xu Rui put down his telescope and said.
"Captain, what should I do?" Pheasant asked.
"Lu Han, have you brought the rocket launcher?"
"Bring it!" Lu Han responded.
Xu Rui said: "Take aim and hit me!"
"Okay!" Lu Han took aim with the rocket launcher, then pulled the trigger. Hearing a whoosh, a rocket hit the German Panzer IV tank directly in front.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, Xu Rui was surprised to find that the rocket did not penetrate the front armor of the German tank.
Pheasant said: "Commander, the rocket launcher is enough to deal with the Japanese Type 95 and Type 97 with thin iron skin, but it has no effect at all against the German Panzer IV tanks with thick armor."
"Pheasant, you stay here, Lu Han, give me the rocket launcher!"
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he took the rocket launcher from Lu Han and immediately carried it to the roof.
Lu Han followed Xu Rui closely, and saw Xu Rui lying on the roof of the building, aiming the rocket launcher at a tank and pulling the trigger.
"Hey~"
A rocket made a shrill scream and hit a tank at the front.
"boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, and the German tank at the front suddenly raised a ball of fire and was destroyed instantly, with flames shooting into the sky.
Lu Han exclaimed and said: "Commander, how did you do it? With the same rocket launcher, why could I not penetrate the German tank just now, but you penetrated it in one go?"
"Hey, fighting requires brains." Xu Rui was a little proud.
