At this critical moment, Yang Mingzhi knew that he was in an extremely dangerous situation.
Because of the enemy's attack, the soldiers pulling the cables on the shore were also in chaos, and the movement of the raft almost stopped.
The scene was such an awkward one. Yang Mingzhi was hanging alone in the middle of the wide river, and to the south of him, a gunboat with arrogant claws was rushing over at full power.
Abram and his men shouldered the mission of protecting the commander. This was the most critical moment. Even if they died, they must ensure the commander's life. They stood in front of Yang Mingzhi in an instant, forming a human wall and blocking it with their flesh and blood.
Live the possible bullet.
Yang Mingzhi was furious: "Idiot! You have time to protect me, why not fight back! Abram, you all line up for me and fire at the enemy!"
"But Commander! If you are..."
"Bah! Last year I led troops to personally attack the enemy tank regiment. Were I afraid? And you! Natasha! Shoot at the enemy immediately!"
Yang Mingzhi changed his previous gentleness and pushed Natasha down on the raft very roughly. This made the girl suddenly frightened, and then she mentally switched to a fighting state.
The girl was lying on the raft, unloading her SVT40, and asked again: "Sir! Do I use this gun? Go shoot that boat?!"
"Of course not! You have to use anti-tank weapons!" Yang Mingzhi quickly ordered the observer Igor: "Set up the anti-tank weapons you are holding now and let Natasha use armor-piercing shells to kill that damn gunboat!"
The battle suddenly came, and Natasha was unprepared. Fortunately, she had experienced many battles and immediately prepared a fighting posture.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know whether the gunboat was equipped with a radio. No matter whether it sent a telegram to their superiors immediately, it would always go back. The gunboat's home port might be Kiev or Chernobyl!
In short, as long as it goes back, the Germans will know that a large number of Soviet troops are forcibly crossing the Dnieper River. The Germans can quickly judge what the Soviet troops are going to do.
In this way, the appearance of this gunboat caused huge variables in this operation - this gunboat knew too much, and it would either be sunk or captured, and in short, no Germans would be left on board.
On the issue of sinking or capturing, Yang Mingzhi naturally preferred to capture. After all, it is a gunboat, and it has the value of turning into a tugboat! Moreover, Mixi Ferry in Rihe also has important strategic significance, and there are many
With a gunboat, the Soviet army's combat effectiveness will naturally increase greatly.
On this raft, Natasha, whose clothes were already a little wet, broke out of the formation.
At the same time, the parachute brigade on the shore quickly set up two mortar firing positions. The current mortar shells completely rely on airdrops from superiors. In fact, the arsenal has to imitate them. The technical threshold is very low, and imitation is also powerful.
However, Liguschkov disdains the production of mortars. After all, in his opinion, it is the rocket-propelled grenade invented by the commander that has the best price/performance ratio.
High-quality mortar shells were used less and less the more they were fired, so Tepunov could only use them sparingly.
Letting mortars bombard a high-speed moving target, it is quite difficult to hit it! The artillery opened fire anyway, and on the port side of the gunboat, two shells turned into near-misses, causing a huge wave that hit the entire overtime team.
The German soldier washed his face well.
Zmelman was all wet, and he calmed down after washing his face like this. Just as he calmed down, two explosions occurred on the starboard side of the gunboat. These were still two near misses, and Zmelman washed his face again.
He washed his face twice in succession, and the ambition in his heart suddenly cooled down. The Russians' firepower was very strong, and they also had mortars. He could not help but feel a chill down his back at the splash of water. If this was a gunboat,
If you take one bomb, you might be sunk!
Zmailman's guess was good. At this moment, Tepunov was very upset. He fired six rounds, but all of them were near-misses! You know, these 82mm high-explosive rounds have a large charge, and the gunboat
A shot fired from the deck might blow it into two pieces!
Zmelman immediately ordered the chopper to use full left rudder, and also ordered the engineer to turn the engine to maximum horsepower.
However, if the gunboat wants to turn its rudder 180 degrees to retreat from the "pig bump", it must make a big turn! It is already too close to the paratroopers' rafts and canoes, and retreating through this turn will inevitably be dangerous!
At this moment, Zmailman felt a little regretful. He should have stopped as soon as possible! Fortunately, he had eliminated many enemies, and he had exposed his flanks to the enemies close enough! This place was simply a wolf den.
!
Just 700 meters away, here is the raft Yang Mingzhi used to cross the river. The raft is still moving slowly towards the other side, and Natasha has already set up her posture.
Yang Mingzhi ordered: "Dear! Go hit the wheelhouse of the gunboat and kill the helmsman! Keep him from turning! If that doesn't work, shoot the stern and destroy its engine!"
Natasha has a very good understanding, and she gave clear orders. The beloved commander hopes to get this gunboat so that it can become a weapon of the Soviet army again.
The girl was very calm, and the raft was moving. She kept correcting the design angle, and the top of the triangular arrow of the PU sight was always pointed at the glass of the cab.
Let’s talk about her anti-tank gun, which is two meters long, and it has been magically modified into an anti-tank sniper rifle!
The girl gently pulled the trigger, and there was a crisp sound, and her body was shaken. The two series muzzle brakes offset a lot of recoil. The huge 14.5 mm original armor-piercing bullet with a height of more than 100 grams, with a range of 1100 meters
The high speed per second instantly penetrated the cab.
This bullet was so lucky, it easily shattered the glass and hit the helmsman directly in the neck!
The kinetic energy of this bullet was so great that the helmsman's body was torn apart at the neck, and his whole body instantly turned into a bloody corpse.
Natasha was sure it hit the cab. Zmelman was not in the cab at the moment. After all, it was sunset, and she still couldn't see clearly whether it hit the target.
The girl's right shoulder was a little sore. She struggled to pull the trigger, pulled out the cartridge case, and shouted at Igor: "Give me another armor-piercing bullet! I want to fire again!"
Therefore, the cab took a total of four armor-piercing rounds. Natasha didn't know whether the enemy was dead, and Yang Mingzhi didn't know either. Until they clearly discovered that the gunboat's direction of action suddenly changed!
"Hey? Are they trying to escape to the shore? Impossible!" Suddenly, Yang Mingzhi knew everything. He put down the telescope excitedly, pinched the back of Natasha's neck wantonly, and shouted excitedly: "Dear
Yes! You did a great job! You must have killed the pilot, and now we have the ability to capture this ship!"
Zmailman was holding an MP40 on the deck, because the ship had to make a big turn, which would inevitably involve a gun battle with the Russians. As a squad leader, he was not much different from ordinary soldiers.
With a steel helmet on his head, he was waiting for a fierce exchange of fire with the Russians. Who would have thought that the driver would be killed instantly?
Yes! Thinking that the sound of gunfire was too fierce, Zmailman didn't even know that the pilot was dead. It wasn't until he suddenly discovered that the gunboat's steering angle had changed, and began to move rapidly toward the river bank, that he
