Sulka believed that if he had a watch, he would have been watching the pointer jump one after another as it gradually approached the attack time.
But now, he could only hold the cold rifle in his hand and stare nervously ahead.
In the darkness, there seemed to be several figures jumping around. They were Germans transporting ammunition and actively preparing for battle.
The Germans are very professional in this area. They are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, but most of the Soviet troops are rookies like Shulka.
This made Shulka feel a little guilty. After all, the Soviet army had previously been hiding in the trenches to fight defensive battles. This was obviously easier for the rookie, because it only had to hide in the trenches and pull the trigger towards the target.
But now, they are going to attack the German army...
However, it seems that they cannot be called rookies, because they have already experienced two days of fighting and still survived.
Finally, with a few soft "chunk" sounds, three red signal bombs slowly rose into the sky.
Then the gunshots rang out quickly, and the area near Bright Bridge, which had been quiet just now, seemed to explode. There were guns fired by German soldiers and Soviet soldiers. But they were probably all fired randomly, because both sides
In fact, no one was seen.
It took a few seconds for the flares to rise into the air, and the area near Bright Bridge was soon covered in white. Only then did the fighting between the enemy and the enemy and the trenches come into view, as if they had been pulled out of hell.
With a sound of "Bang!" and a burst of recoil from the shoulder, a bullet flew in the direction of the German army, and a German soldier fell down in response.
After two days of fighting, Shulka had gradually adapted to the battlefield environment, although he could not help but feel nervous before the battle.
In fact, Shulka discovered an interesting thing. The most nervous moments are often before a battle. Once the battle starts, all he thinks about is how to kill the enemy and ensure that he will not die under the enemy's gun. At this time, there is no need to worry about it.
There is no room for tension.
Therefore, sometimes Shulka hopes to enter the battle earlier, because the waiting process is more torturous.
"Bang!" There was another gunshot, and a German soldier who was calling nervously in front of the walkie-talkie raised his head and fell on his walkie-talkie.
Shulka found himself making progress.
In the previous battles, Shulka chose the target more based on his own intuition, or it could be said that he did not choose the target... he simply found an enemy, pointed the crosshair at him, and pulled the trigger.
If it hits, Shulka will add a number in his mind.
Without a hit, Shulka tried to make up for it or find another target.
But now, Shulka suddenly found that he seemed to be beyond the battle and observing the battlefield as a bystander... As the saying goes, bystanders know the best, so he could quickly find out which targets were more worthy of hunting.
For example, the communications soldier who was talking on the phone seemed to be reporting some emergency situation to his superiors, or calling for artillery support.
Who knows? He's dead!
With a "Bang!" shot, after knocking down an officer who rushed towards the walkie-talkie, Shulka suddenly realized what the Germans were reporting.
The German troops stationed at Bright Bridge did not expect to be attacked from two sides by the Soviet army, and the firepower was so fierce.
Therefore, Shulka believes that his goal is correct and he should continue to lock the walkie-talkies.
But then, Shulka discovered that he could use a simpler way to ensure that the Germans could not get the news out... that was to fire a walkie-talkie.
The Soviet army indeed devoted its main force to the Bright Bridge.
The total strength of the Kobrin Fortress is more than 700 people, of which 600 were transferred in this direction. The 500 surviving people in the central fortress deployed dozens of people in the rear buildings to stay outside, and almost all the rest were invested in the deployment.
Wright Bridge...someone must stay guarding the buildings at the rear, otherwise the German troops from other directions will rush into their camp from the rear with a single charge.
The German army only had one company of more than a hundred men at Bright Bridge.
This is the result of them underestimating the enemy, or it can also be said that they fell into a trap... The German commanders thought that the Soviet army would send its main force to the north to break out of the encirclement instead of here.
Perhaps in order to make a quick decision, Captain Venyakov ordered a few minutes after the battle broke out: "Fix bayonets!"
This choice was correct. The troops had an absolute advantage, and the Germans were caught off guard. At the same time, it was a night battle. In order to avoid complications, it was indeed necessary to launch a charge and eliminate the enemy in one go.
However, Shurka hesitated when he took out the bayonet from his waist and stuck it on the bayonet holder... rushing out meant being exposed to the enemy's firepower. Shurka couldn't help but flash the black hole of the muzzle in his mind.
In the enemy scene, the roles are now reversed.
At this moment Shulka asked himself several questions:
Do we want to learn from the German army and make a "z"-shaped leap forward?
Will his comrades cooperate with him to cover each other?
With a shout, the soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the enemy.
Shulka was a little late. He wanted to see how his comrades charged and then he would learn how to do it... But he soon discovered that the charge was unorganized and was a complete swarm.
Then Shulka also jumped out of the trench.
His mind went blank. All tactics, movements, and coordination were forgotten. Shurka only knew how to rush forward behind his comrades with his bayonet pointed.
Everyone shouted like crazy: "Ula, Ula!"
Although Shulka could feel the cold sweat slowly flowing down his back from the back of his neck as he ran, although Shulka tried to pretend to fall to the ground several times, although the fear in his heart made Shulka hope that he would never
Arriving in front of the enemy...but he still strode towards the enemy uncontrollably like a robot, followed by shouts that even he himself did not recognize.
"Click, click, click." A burst of machine gun fire swept through, and several comrades fell down next to Shulka. The blood even spilled onto Shulka's face, which was warm and moist.
Then there was the roar of mortars, and shrapnel flew around Shulka like poisonous bees, tearing apart human bodies and the earth. Occasionally, a few corpses fell from the sky and blocked the way.
This was a good time for Shulka to lie down, but for some reason, as if under hypnosis, Shulka actually jumped over the corpses and continued to rush forward, and he was still accelerating.
Thinking about it afterwards, Shulka thought that this should be what people often call the group effect... When others are doing this, he can't help but join in.
