Chapter 431

Looking at the dramatic transformation of the offensive and defensive war in front of me, I can't help but be happy. Such a battle is more appropriate than a battle. Romanian soldiers, just like the blue army arranged by the exercise headquarters, after the artillery preparation, followed the tanks and launched an attack on the intended target. When they met with a block, they made a little counterattack and then hurried to retreat.

However, our army held fast to its position and fought back several waves of enemy attacks. Then, with the support of the air force, we launched a full-scale counter offensive. At present, the enemy, as is common in exercises, is being wiped out by our army bit by bit.

The 147th division's counterattack achieved great success, annihilating a whole regiment of the Romanian division, capturing more than 400 soldiers, and seizing many heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery.

The counterattack of trakov's troops also achieved the expected goal. The troops of the 783rd and 804th regiments, strengthened by the 66th marine brigade and the 137th tank brigade, also fought bravely in subsequent battles. When the occupied German troops were annihilated by our air force, they soon recovered the 79th state farm and the former headquarters of the 229th division, the 155 highland, and consolidated their positions.

Seeing that the line of defense of the 147th division was calm again, kolpakchi was relieved to take us back to the headquarters of the group army. After all, the focus of our defense is still on the area defended by the 192nd and 181st divisions. Although the German army has not moved all day, no one can tell when they will launch a sudden attack.

Seeing us coming back, gurov, who was staying in the headquarters, just stood up and did not wait for him to speak. Kolpakchi had already asked in advance: "Comrade military commissar, what's the situation here?"

Gurov shook his head and said, "it's calm. There's no sign of any attack from the German on the other side."

Because of the sudden attack of the German army yesterday evening, our army suffered heavy casualties, so the careless kolpakchi also became cautious. He also told repeatedly: "comrades of the military commissar, tell the troops below to be on guard against another sudden attack by the Germans."

Seeing his picture of being bitten by a snake for ten years, I couldn't help telling him that since the Germans didn't attack at this time, they would not attack again. You know, although the Germans caught us unprepared yesterday and once occupied the position of the 192nd division, their attack ended in failure. The German commander is not a fool. Yesterday's raid had no effect. Today, with the same tactics, the raid may turn into a strong attack at any time, which the other side does not want to see.

I summoned up the courage to tell kolpakchi my judgment. Unexpectedly, he took gulov to study the map on the table first. Looking at their attentive expression, I couldn't disturb them either. I went to the staff of the wall to read the war report.

The familiar combat staff officer saw me, nodded politely and asked in a friendly way, "coming back, comrade commander."

"I'm back."

The operational staff seemed to see my plan, handed me a stack of war reports and said, "these are the latest war reports."

After receiving the war report and thanking him, I asked in a low voice, "Comrade staff officer, what's new?"

The operational staff looked around and saw that both the commander and the military commissar were looking at the map. They approached me and said in a low voice, "Comrade commander, I tell you that the position where Captain shamikov is located has been lost."

"Ah?" When I heard this news, I was so surprised that I immediately lowered my voice and asked, "Comrade staff officer, what's the matter?"

"In the afternoon, the German forces concentrated their superior artillery fire on their hilltop positions in shamikov, and then charged with infantry. As the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, all the surface positions of our army on the top of the mountain were destroyed, and the enemy soon rushed to the top of the mountain. The surviving soldiers of our army rushed up to fight with them and beat them back seven times. But in the end, with the exception of a small number of officers and men who successfully broke through the encirclement, the rest died with honor. "

"What about shamikov? How about captain shamikov? " Hearing the bad news, I can't help worrying about the captain who I've only known for a few days.

"Captain shamikov is OK. He was slightly injured. He rushed out of the enemy's encirclement with a dozen soldiers. It was not long before you and the commander came back that he came to the headquarters and reported the war situation to the military commissar comrades. "

Speaking of Cao Cao, I was talking with the combat staff about captain shmikov. Unexpectedly, he appeared in the headquarters. He had no hat, a thick bandage on his forehead, and his military uniform was tattered and dusty. He went up to colpakchi, raised his hand to salute, and then said with a look of shame, "report commander, I'm back!"

Colpakchi looked him up and down, went over, put his hands on his shoulders, and asked with concern, "Comrade captain, are you hurt?"

Shamikov replied: "the enemy's shell hit our shelter, and I was hit on the head by the falling wood. Just now, the military doctor has checked and said that there is a slight concussion. "

"Where are the positions? Didn't I ask you to hold on until dark? Why did you come back at this time? " Knowing that shemikov's injury was not serious, kolpakchi was concerned about our position in the German rear.

Shamikov lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, comrade commander, I didn't finish the task you gave me. Because the enemy has absolute superiority in artillery and air force, under their powerful firepower attack, our defense fortifications on the ground have been completely destroyed. Although the soldiers showed great tenacity and fought to the death with the enemy who rushed to the position, because of the great disparity of strength, we finally had to withdraw from the battle and break through. "“ How many members of the three regiments have highlighted the encirclement? " Asked colpakchi nervously. We should know that in that position, our army has put in a division of nearly 8000 troops. If we can highlight more commanders and fighters, we can deploy them in important defensive areas,. So it's normal for colpakchi to lose his manners at this time“ I brought 17 soldiers out from the east of the hill, while the other two commanders each brought a company of soldiers to break through the encirclement to the South and West. Up to now, there is no news of them, and I don't know if they have come out. " After listening to the report of shamikov, I secretly calculated the number of surviving troops. The two companies, with a total of 200 people, are now missing. It is estimated that they are in danger. That is to say, of the 8000 men in that position, there are now captain shamikov and his 17 men. Our army's casualties are the second. As soon as the positions they held were lost, the German troops restrained would have no worries. They could turn around and concentrate their superior forces to launch a fierce attack on our defense zone. This is the most painful thing.
