Chapter 738

Major gradshev took us for a walk along a street full of bricks, rubble and craters, then suddenly looked back. At this look, he unconsciously stopped and asked me curiously, "Comrade General, you will not just take these soldiers to the headquarters, will you?"

I looked back behind me, followed by basmanov and a platoon of soldiers. Because he didn't understand the purpose of major gladeshev's question, he could only honestly answer: "yes, there are more than 30 soldiers following. The safety on the road should be guaranteed."

Unexpectedly, gladschev shook his head and said solemnly: "Comrade General, you don't know something. We will pass the railway station later. Now the station is occupied by the enemy. As long as they find a moving target outside, they will shoot. On the way here just now, seven or eight of my subordinates were killed or injured. "

Basmanov, who was walking in the back, came up to me after hearing what Gladyshev said, and nervously suggested, "Comrade division, since it's so dangerous ahead, for your safety's sake, I'll send someone back to transfer another company."

Seeing that basmanov was about to turn around and leave, I quickly stopped him, but I didn't say whether I needed to transfer troops to follow me. Instead, I humbly asked gladeshev, "major, how wide is the area you said was blocked by enemy fire?"

After thinking about it, the major replied, "the area sealed off by the German machine gun is an open area with a width of more than 30 meters between the two buildings in front of the station."

It's said that there is only 30 meters of open land. I feel relieved. It only takes a few seconds to rush through such a short distance. In such a short period of time, the Germans may not even be able to react, let alone shoot. That's why he confidently said to busmanov, "Comrade captain, there's no need to deploy any more troops. There are so many people and so many goals. It's not convenient to move."

Seeing that I didn't want to take any more people to the headquarters, Gladyshev was not reluctant. He nodded and said, "in that case, comrade general, let's go."

As we went on, because I was always thinking about the German firepower points that gladschaff said, a strange fear always haunted me. I was always worried that when we passed a collapsed or semi collapsed building, unexpected bullets would come out of a window.

When we walked into a collapsed building with only a few walls left, gladschev suddenly stopped and said to me, "Comrade General, the open area in front is the area blocked by German firepower. We must pass it as fast as possible."

I was silent. Then I looked at my watch in the reflection of the fire in the distance. Then I went to an explosion gap and looked out. There was a building with the same style dozens of meters away, but it was still standing on the opposite side of the road, which had not been destroyed by the enemy's shells and bombs. On the wide road in the middle, there were twenty or thirty people lying motionless. They should have fallen under the enemy's muzzle when they passed through the dead zone.

Basmanov came up to me and asked me in a low voice, "Comrade teacher, are we going to rush through like this?"

I shook my head slowly, pointed to the body in the open space in front of me, and said, "if we rush through like this, many people will become one of them. Comrade captain, you should find a suitable place and put our light aircraft on the rack. Once the enemy fires, it will be suppressed. The rest of you, in groups of three, head for the other side. After the first group rushed over, they immediately set up fire points at the rubble pile outside the opposite building, and the people who met us rushed over. Do you understand? "

"I understand!" Basmanov and gladchev replied in unison. Then basmanov pointed to the two soldiers and said to them, "you two should follow the major first, and build a firepower point in the opposite rubble pile to cover us."

I looked at the two soldiers selected by basmanov, one with submachine guns and the other with light machine guns. If they set up fire points on the opposite side, they could completely suppress the enemy's fire with their equipment, so I nodded with satisfaction and gave the order decisively: "when you are ready, let's attack."

"Come with me!" After a low voice, Gladyshev took the lead in rushing out of the building and towards the opposite side, with two guards with guns following. In our eyes, they quickly rushed through the open space between the two buildings and mounted machine guns on the rubble.

Major gradshev, when they rushed by, the expected German machine gun did not fire. Although I didn't hear the gunshot, I didn't dare to take it lightly. I thought that the Germans didn't shoot. Maybe it was Gladyshev. They moved so fast that they didn't react. If we think that the Germans are unprepared for this, we may suffer a great loss.

When the second group of soldiers rushed by, the Germans still did not shoot.

Then a third group of soldiers rushed over, and the Germans still did not shoot.

Seeing this situation, basmanov hesitated and asked me: "Comrade division, all three groups of people have gone, and we haven't heard the German fire yet. Is it that major Gladyshev is making a fuss. Why don't the rest of us rush through together? "

Basmanov's words made me have a little doubt about Gladyshev's words. Did the enemy they met when they came have already withdrawn? Although I think so in my heart, I haven't given the order for the soldiers to pass collectively. Instead, I said to basmanov, "Comrade captain, send another group of soldiers to try." Seeing that my attitude was so firm, basmanov could not say anything more, so he had to call out three more soldiers and let them rush to the opposite side. Maybe there were no problems in the three groups in succession. The soldiers were paralyzed and their running speed was obviously not as fast as before. They had just finished two-thirds of the distance, and when they saw that they could rush into the opposite building in a second or two, the sound of German machine gun fire that we had been worried about for a long time finally started. Almost at the same time as the gunshot, basmanov lowered his voice and cried madly: "lie down! Lie down! " However, his shout was still slow for a moment. Except for the soldiers who rushed to the front and rushed into the dead corner of the shooting at the same time, the latter two soldiers were covered by the fire net composed of enemy machine gun bullets, and their feet were splashed with mud. Then their running bodies stopped, shook a few times and threw their weapons, He covered the wound and fell over“ Shoot, shoot, shoot Basmanov saw his soldiers fall under the muzzle of the enemy's gun. He rushed to it, raised his leg and kicked the soldier lying beside the machine gun in a daze. He angrily scolded: "you don't shoot yet." The soldier who was kicked by him pulled the trigger and fired at the exposed German firepower. When busmanov came back to me, he said to me with some worry: "Comrade division, judging from the gunfire and the exposed muzzle flame, the enemy has at least five machine guns, while we have only two. We can't completely suppress them. Do you think we should stop this kind of risky action? "“ No, we have to get to the headquarters as soon as possible, so even if the enemy's firepower is fierce, we have to rush through. " In order to prove my determination, I called two more soldiers from the soldiers who stayed behind, and then said to basmanov gently, "this time I'll take the men myself."“ What, do you take people to rush in person? " Basmanov was frightened by my decision, and quickly persuaded me: "Sir, comrade, you can't rush. It's too dangerous." Listening to what he said, I had a short hesitation in my heart, but thinking that this is the only way to the headquarters, I forced down my timidity and said to him calmly, "don't worry, captain. I'll be fine." Next, I waved my head at the two soldiers standing behind me and yelled, "follow me!" After shouting, I took a deep breath, bent down and rushed out with a submachine gun. German machine gun bullets whizzed over my head or around me. Although I held a submachine gun in my hand, I would never run sideways and shoot in the direction of the enemy's bullets, just like the hero in the film and television works. It was pure death. In just a few seconds of rushing through the open space, my mind was almost blank. I just wanted to rush through the dead zone quickly. When I saw a pile of bricks and stones not far away, I rushed over without hesitation. As I fell heavily on the ground, my eyes were full of stars, but I knew very well in my heart that I was hiding in the shooting corner that the enemy couldn't reach. One of the soldiers who followed me rushed into the building smoothly, while the other was hit by the enemy's bullet when he was still a few steps away, and fell a few steps away from us. His weapon was thrown aside, his hands covered the wound, and he lay on the ground moaning in pain. The soldier, who had already rushed in, saw his comrades fall down, threw down his weapon, bent down and rushed out again, grabbed each other's collar and went back madly. After the enemy's machine gun found the target of this activity, all the muzzles were turned over, and dense bullets swept at him. Fortunately, there were several remains of our soldiers on this section of the road, which blocked a lot of bullets for the soldier who saved his comrades, so that he was able to drag the wounded back smoothly. When he was one or two meters away from me, I didn't care about the danger. I leaned out from behind the rubble, grabbed the wounded man's arm and helped the soldiers drag him in. As soon as they entered the safe area, several more soldiers surrounded them and carried the wounded into the building with all hands and feet. I changed to a more hidden position and carefully poked my head out to observe the movement of the enemy. About 200 meters away from us, there are five or six long muzzle fireworks flashing behind the rubble. It seems that there is the enemy's machine gun position. I looked from both sides of the machine gun position and noticed that when I was in Leighton, I was deeply attracted by a familiar and strange building.
