As soon as he stabbed the enemy down, Lin Hua saw several German soldiers charging towards him with guns in hand at the other end of the trench. He quickly raised his foot to kick away the current corpse of the German soldier, and was about to squat down and shoot at the German soldier on the opposite side. But they saw clouds of blood forming on the chests of the German soldiers, and then they all fell on their backs in the trench.
Lin Hua turned around and saw that Seryosha and Christopher had followed him and were firing at the German soldiers with submachine guns. The few German soldiers who had just fallen fell to the muzzles of their guns.
The officers and soldiers who were pinned down on the hillside by German firepower and unable to move immediately jumped up from the ground as soon as the enemy's firepower stopped, shouting and rushing forward. When the soldiers at the front were still more than ten or twenty meters away from the trenches, they took off the fuses of the grenades and threw them into the German trenches. After a series of explosions, thick smoke mixed with flesh and blood rose from the trenches.
Major Ivan, who was in the trench at the foot of the hillside, saw that the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd companies had successfully rushed into the enemy's position. He jumped out of the trench excitedly, raised his pistol high and shouted: "Comrades, for the motherland, for Stalin, go ahead!"
The soldiers of the second company and the troops directly under the battalion could no longer hold back when they saw that their comrades had rushed into the enemy's position. When they heard Ivan's cry, they all stood up straight, shouted "Ula", jumped out of the trench, and bravely rushed towards the German position on the high ground.
In the regiment command post further away from the battlefield, the regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Batrakov, witnessed the entire battle. He could not help but feel curious when he saw the officers and men of the second battalion rushing to the high ground one after another, jumping into the trenches and engaging in close combat and hand-to-hand combat with the Germans. He sighed and said to Ma Lining next to him: "Thank God, Comrade Chief of Staff, our troops finally broke into the enemy's position."
After hearing this, Malinin just nodded slightly, and then asked: "Batrakov, do you see clearly who was the first to rush into the enemy's position?"
Batrakov frowned and tried to recall the scene he just saw: There was a big explosion in the enemy's position. Before the smoke cleared, several soldiers rushed into the enemy's position and were suppressed by German firepower. The troops on the hillside also launched a charge... but it was not clear who was the first to rush into the enemy's position.
He shook his head, and was about to say that he didn't see clearly, but suddenly realized that with Ma Lining's character, he would never ask such a question for no reason. Since he asked this, it proved that the first people to rush into the enemy's position were himself and He knows them all. He turned to look at Ma Lining and asked tentatively: "Is he the son of our old comrade in arms?"
A smile appeared on Ma Lining's face: "Yes, that's him." After a moment of silence, he added, "He is a good young man who performed very bravely on the battlefield. If you train him well for two years, maybe he can Become a general. Do you think so?"
Batrakov agreed with Malinin's statement: "Yes, you are right. I heard that he was a corporal last week and is now a lieutenant. If things continue like this, he may not be able to survive. In one year, even if he doesn't become a general, his military rank will surpass that of you and me."
As soldiers from the Second Company and the troops directly under the battalion surged onto the high ground, the German troops who were still resisting stubbornly saw that the situation was not good, so they stopped resisting and surrendered to the Soviet army with their hands raised.
Asiya, who did not attack with the troops, rushed up the hillside carrying the medical kit as soon as the battle was over. Seeing the bodies of the soldiers lying on the ground, she turned them over one by one to check whether Lin Hua was inside. Every time she turned over a body, her heartbeat would speed up, fearing that the familiar face would appear in front of her at the next moment.
Just as she kept looking at the remains of the soldiers, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Girl, what are you looking for?"
Hearing this voice, Asia was shocked. She quickly turned her head and looked behind her, only to see the person she was looking for standing a few steps away. The military uniform on his body was full of holes, and his face was blackened by gunpowder smoke. He was looking at her with a smile but not a smile. Asiya cheered, stood up and threw herself into Lin Hua's arms. Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding soldiers, she hugged Lin Hua's waist tightly, fearing that if she let go, he would disappear into thin air.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Lin Hua felt that the clothes on his shoulders were wet with Asiya's tears, so he raised his hand and patted her back gently a few times, and said softly: "Didn't I tell you that the bullets that can kill you haven't been generated yet? Don't worry, I will never let you become a widow."
Lin Hua's words made Asiya burst into laughter. She lightly punched Lin Hua on the shoulder a few times with her fist and took a sip: "I hate it. I haven't even said that I want to marry you. How can I be a widow?" It’s ugly.”
Lin Hua saw Ivan and Bukov walking towards him, and he quickly lowered his head and said to Asiya, "Asiya, the battalion commander has something to ask me about. You go and treat the wounded first."
Asiya let go of Lin Hua, took a step back, and asked worriedly: "Are you really not injured?"
Lin Hua shook his head like a rattle and replied: "No, I'm really not injured. How about I take off my clothes now and let you check." As he said this, he pretended to untie the opening of Jun's coat.
Asiya quickly grabbed Lin Hua's hand and said coquettishly: "You are really annoying. If you're not hurt, you're not hurt. Why should you take off your clothes?" After saying that, she threw Lin Hua's hand away and ran away with a blushing face. .
Ivan walked to Lin Hua, looked at Asiya's back and said to him: "Misha, Asiya is very kind to you. As soon as the battle is over, I will go up to the high ground to find you. I am afraid that you will be in any danger." .”
Lin Hua chuckled and then changed the subject: "Comrade Battalion Commander, have our results been calculated?"
Ivan nodded and said: "In this battle, we killed 73 Germans, captured 57, and seized a batch of guns and ammunition. However, our army lost 45 people and injured 38 people. Among them, your third company suffered 20 casualties. "
Hearing what Ivan said, Lin Hua suppressed the smile on his face, and then asked: "Comrade Battalion Commander, so there are less than one platoon left in our company?" After seeing Ivan nodding in affirmation, he then asked Then he said, "I wonder when our superiors will give us additional supplies so that our company can participate in the next battle as soon as possible."
"Misha, don't be anxious about this." Ivan comforted Lin Fan and said, "The superiors know our situation very well, and I think they will recruit new recruits for us in a short time. Let's go back to the regiment command post first. Report to the regiment leader, Lieutenant Colonel Batrakov, and ask for instructions on the next combat mission."
