Although the German army tried its best to resist, the Soviet army still poured into the German defense line like a tide, and then the enemy and we were entangled together.
If the previous battle was just a struggle, then the hand-to-hand combat was a test of human nature.
Shulka refused in his heart, because the opponent standing in front of him was a complete stranger. There was no hatred between them, but at this moment, they had to decide whether to live or die.
However, Shulka knew that he had to do this, because this was a battlefield, and pity and hesitation would only make him a victim of his opponent's gun, not to mention that his opponent had already changed the magazine for his submachine gun...
Shulka shouted and plunged the bayonet into the chest of the German soldier. He could even feel the friction between the bayonet and the ribs from the gun barrel and the trembling caused by pain, like a sharp object scratching on the iron sheet.
Shurka almost dropped the rifle in his hand.
But Shulka didn't do this, because he knew clearly what the consequences would be, so he could only force himself to do what he should do over and over again in his heart.
Shulka tried to withdraw his rifle, but was hugged by a German soldier.
Shulka believed that the German soldier did not do this because of bravery, but because he was in pain and tried his best to grab something he could grab. Shulka could see this from the German soldier's distorted face and desperation, begging
It can be seen in his eyes.
Shulka gritted his teeth, gave the German soldier a hard kick and drew out his bayonet.
Shulka seemed to hear two voices:
One is moaning, crying and accusing.
The other is rational, cold-blooded, and killing...
Obviously the second voice prevailed, or it could be said that the desire to survive prevailed. Shurka continued to rush forward with his bloody bayonet, and then plunged it into the back of a German soldier.
back.
Under this German soldier was a Soviet soldier. They were grabbing each other's necks and wrestling with each other, so that they could not spare any energy or time to deal with Shulka. This made Shulka very sad.
This fatal blow was easily completed.
This is a sneak attack, he has no ability to resist...
Damn sneak attacks, this is war! War without any rules!
Sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself!
I have to do this, I have to do this!
…
Shulka made many excuses for himself, but his heart was still full of uneasiness, as if he owed someone else something.
A German soldier rushed toward Shulka with a bayonet drawn. Shulka raised his gun as quickly as possible and pulled the trigger...
There was a "bang" gunshot, and the bullet passed through the head of the German soldier. When he raised his head, he collapsed to the ground like an inflated balloon.
Before this, Shurka had always agreed that it was easy to be injured by accidental injury when shooting in close combat. Now he realized that this was all nonsense... As a soldier in a melee, he would not consider accidental injury at all, he would only do his best.
Make every effort to kill the enemy, no matter what method you use, and of course you don't care about accidental injuries.
Finally, the German troops began to retreat.
They could only retreat to the bridge. They may have thought that the situation on the other side would be better than here, hoping to retreat to the other side to continue resisting, but the reality was very cruel... At the same time, similar things were happening on the other side.
As a result, German soldiers crowded on the bridge, which was not spacious. When the machine guns rang out, the German soldiers fell in pieces like harvested rice. Soon, the bridge was covered with the corpses of German soldiers.
Blood flowed like small streams from the drainage ditch into the river and then downstream.
Gradually, the gunshots and shouts of death disappeared.
At this time, the soldiers became cautious, because they knew that the opposite party was probably one of their own, and in this case it was easy to misunderstand and cause friendly casualties.
Major Gavrilov rushed forward from behind, holding a small trumpet in his hand, and shouted to the opposite side under the cover of the bridge railing: "I am Major Gavrilov, the commander of the 44th Regiment, and you are
Which part?"
"I am Fuming, political commissar of the 84th Regiment!" An excited voice came from the other side: "Comrades, how are you?"
With a cheer, the soldiers rushed to Bright Bridge and hugged each other tightly. Even Shulka had the urge to step forward, hug his comrades and cry bitterly.
Only those who have gone through such hardships and finally reunited with their comrades can truly understand this feeling.
But of course, this doesn't mean the difficulties are over.
"Comrade Political Commissar!" Major Gavrilov reported to Political Commissar Fomin: "The plan has changed. The Germans already know that we will break out to the north and lay an ambush there. Therefore, we changed the plan. We think we should start from the center.
The fortress crosses the river and breaks out!”
These words not only surprised Commissar Fomin, but also the troops led by Major Gavrilov, including Okunev... They thought this was just a rescue operation, but they didn't expect it to be.
Breakout.
Political Commissar Fuming was quite decisive. He was stunned for a moment and then asked: "The breakout position?"
Major Gavrilov took out the map, pointed at a point under the dim light of the flashlight and said: "Here, behind the church, we know from Peter that the Germans do not have many troops in this area!"
"Yes!" Fomin agreed after looking at the map: "The Germans don't think we have the ability to fight across the river. Their main defensive positions are a few bridges, so they only have one platoon in this area!"
Although the Germans have sufficient troops, there are many places that need to be defended in the Brest Fortress. In addition, there are still enough troops to attack, so only a small number of troops are deployed on the river bank for defense... These troops are more for warning. Once they
If you find signs that the enemy is crossing the river, you will immediately report it to your superiors and wait for a while to wait for reinforcements, so there is no need to deploy too many troops.
This was no problem before, because as Political Commissar Fuming said, the central fortress did not have the ability to initiate a cross-river operation.
But now, after combining the forces of Kobrin Fortress, it is another matter.
"We lack tools to cross the river!" Political Commissar Fu Ming said.
"We are ready!" Major Gavrilov said and waved to the rear, and soon groups of soldiers came out of the darkness carrying rafts.
"Well done, Comrade Major!" Fomin patted Major Gavrilov on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Very good plan. You may not believe it. Just now I was worried that the attack plan would be leaked and I would not be able to successfully break through. Now.
, you gave us full confidence!”
"Of course I believe it, Comrade Political Commissar!" Major Gavrilov replied: "You may not believe it, but it was not me who came up with this plan, but a soldier!"
