The reserve team was transferred to Beigan, and the first battalion was also deployed at the entrance and exit of the tunnel connecting the two hills, but Sokov's heart was still uneasy. He walked to the door and shouted outside: "Someone is coming!"
Following the shout, Seryosha appeared in front of him: "Comrade Brigadier, do you have any instructions?"
Sokov pointed at him with his hand and said: "Take someone with you immediately and follow me!"
"Where to go?" Seryozha asked instinctively.
"Where else can we go?" Sokov glared at him and said, "Of course to the observation post on the top of the hill."
Knowing that Sokov thought of the observation post above his head, Seryosha quickly asked tentatively: "Then how many people should I take?"
"Take your security company with you." Sokov ordered: "As for the security work in the tunnel, leave it to Major Tenev's security battalion."
"Yes!" Seryozha agreed quickly, "I will go and assemble the troops immediately."
"Comrade Brigadier," Seryosha just ran away. Sidorin, who heard the conversation between the two, walked to the door and asked tentatively: "Are you going to the observation post on the top of the mountain again?"
"Yes, I stay in the observation post and can keep abreast of the situation on the battlefield. Everything here is left to you and..." When Sokov said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been there since he woke up. Not seeing Belkin, he pointed to the camp bed where Belkin was sleeping: "Where did the political commissar go? Why didn't I see him?"
"It's like this," Sidorin heard Sokov ask about Belkin and quickly explained to him: "After you fell asleep, Fourth Battalion Commander Brisky made a phone call. It seemed like the Red October Factory Something happened, and the political commissar said you were too tired, so don’t disturb you and let you continue to rest, so he rushed over to deal with it.”
"I understand." After learning that Belkin went to the Red October Factory, Sokov felt relieved. As long as all the brigade commanders were not at Mamayev Heights, even if the entire army was wiped out today, at least there would be no one left. Erkin and the commanders and fighters of the fourth battalion can be regarded as saving the seeds for the 73rd Infantry Brigade. He told Sidorin again: "I'll go to the observation post on the top of the hillside to take a look. I'll leave this place to you. If anything happens, I'll call you."
Arriving at the top of the hillside, Sokov saw at a glance the tragic hand-to-hand battle going on on the slope of Beigan. Soldiers from both sides collided with each other, bayonet against bayonet, chest against chest, facing each other in a life-for-life struggle. On the battlefield of thousands of people, a medieval duel between cold weapons was taking place.
When it comes to fighting will, the defenders, who are mainly sailors, are much higher than the Romanian army. However, their numbers are at an absolute disadvantage. The Romanian army can use their numerical advantage to fill the gap in fighting will and combat effectiveness between the two armies.
Seeing people on both sides constantly falling down in the stabbing battle, Sokov couldn't help but feel anxious. Even including the reserve force brought by Shamrih, Beigang's total strength was only one thousand men, and the enemy's first wave of attacking troops exceeded two thousand, and their follow-up troops were arriving in a steady stream at this moment. If there were enough new rockets, just firing a few of them would wipe out the incoming Romanian troops. However, due to the lack of ammunition, their own troops could only fight hand-to-hand with the enemy and fight to the death, even if they barely won in the end. , it will definitely be a tragic victory.
Seryosha, standing next to Sokov, saw such a cruel hand-to-hand combat for the first time. His eyes widened and he asked Sokov in surprise: "Misha, our number is obviously much smaller than that of the enemy. If If we continue to fight like this, we will suffer big losses."
Sokov knew in his heart that if the fight continued, his troops in Beigan would be in danger. He looked around, looking for the mortar troops sent to the top of the hill. After searching for a long time, he saw them hiding behind a pile of sandbag fortifications. Sokov quickly bent down and ran towards them.
Seeing Sokov running toward him, Porochenko, the commander in charge of the artillery, quickly came up to him and asked in surprise: "Comrade Brigade Commander, why are you here?"
"Didn't I order you to support the opponent's high ground with artillery fire?" Seeing all the artillerymen and their mortars staying in a trench behind the sandbag fortifications, Sokov couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you all staying there?" here?"
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Porochenko explained with a blush after hearing Sokov's criticism: "We fired two rounds of artillery shells towards the opposite side, but were suppressed by enemy tank fire, causing us a certain amount of casualties. …”
"Lieutenant Porochenko," Sokov waited for Porochenko to finish and then scolded him with a straight face: "You are an artilleryman. You should know that mortars are direct fire. You can completely hide behind the enemy's sight. Here, shell the enemy on the hill opposite, and let the enemy tanks have no way of killing you."
Porochenko quickly agreed and took the remaining mortar crews to set up artillery positions. Sokov walked to the other side and leaned down to look at the defensive position below. After seeing clearly the situation below, he became even more angry. He quickly turned around and walked to the observation post not far away. He picked up the phone and connected to the command post of Second Battalion Commander Vasily, and said angrily: "Comrade Captain, The soldiers in Beigang are fighting to the death with the enemy, but what are your people doing?"
Vasily didn't know why Sokov was so angry, so he could only answer honestly: "My troops are on guard in the position to prevent possible attacks by the enemy."
"Comrade Captain," Sokov said sternly: "I just saw several machine guns on your position, with their muzzles pointed at the hillside of Beigang. I ask you, why didn't you give the order to fire? You need to know the distance between the machine gun positions. The main slope of Beigang is less than two hundred meters away. If you shoot, you can kill a large number of enemies..."
After listening to Sokov silently, Vasily defended himself and said: "Comrade Brigade Commander, have you seen the enemy tanks under the North Post? If we open fire, we will be hit by enemy tank fire." "
"As long as you can destroy the enemy, even if your machine gun positions are destroyed by enemy tanks and guns, it is still worth it." Sokov decided to risk everything at this moment. As long as the enemy's attack can be repelled, no matter how heavy the loss is, he can only force it. He went on with his scalp: "If you allow the defenders of Beigang to be wiped out by the enemy, then the enemy will turn their guns against you. What will happen to you then? Even if I don't say it, you will know in your heart You should understand."
"I see……"
"You don't understand!" Before Vasily could finish his words, Sokov interrupted him. "If you really understood, you wouldn't keep talking nonsense with me here, but directly order the machine guns on the position. Fire started.”
Sokov put down the phone and said to Seryosha: "Seryosa, go to Porochenko's place and see if their artillery positions are ready, and when can they fire?"
Although this was the first time that Sokov spoke to Seryosha in such an impatient tone, Seryosha could understand his mood. He even thought to himself: If he encountered the same situation, he might take care of it himself. guns, and led the soldiers to rush towards the enemy.
Before Seryozha could come back to report, the machine guns on the Second Battalion's position opened fire. The intensive firepower composed of four or five machine guns hit the crowded queue of the Romanian army, splashing blood. The soldiers who were waiting to come forward to fight with bayonets fell in groups in a pool of blood amidst screams. middle.
The tank parked at the foot of the mountain saw the infantry queue crowded on the hillside. After being opened one huge gap after another by machine gun fire from the high ground on the other side, the tank immediately turned its muzzle and opened fire at the machine gun fire point in Nangang. Due to the hasty shooting, the first round of shells fired by the tank missed. But the tank crew corrected the shooting parameters in time and fired again for the second round. This time they achieved results quickly, blowing a shooting machine gun to pieces. The blast of air lifted the machine gunner from the trench, threw him high into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Although the comrades around him were blown away by enemy shells, the machine gunners of several other machine guns continued to fire, using dense bullets to plow bloody alleys in the enemy's ranks.
While the machine guns were killing the enemy in large numbers, the mortars also opened fire. In order to make up for his mistake, Porochenko ordered his gunners to shoot out all the shells in the shortest possible time. After hearing Porochenko's order, the gunners did not dare to neglect and fired at the fastest speed to knock out the coefficient of the shells around them.
Under the double blow of artillery fire and machine gun fire, the Romanian infantry on the hill finally couldn't hold on any longer, and some began to turn around and run back. The escape of a few people triggered a massive rout, and even the officers began to run back. Because the hillside was already soaked with blood and the ground became muddy, as soon as the fleeing officers and soldiers fell down, there was no possibility of getting up. They would be trampled to death by the soldiers who then retreated.
Seeing the enemy retreating, the sailors shouted and chased after them. They broke into the enemy's ranks and stabbed to death any enemy who dared to intercept or resist with their blood-stained bayonets. They directly attacked the tanks parked at the foot of the mountain. Climb onto the tank and throw a grenade into the open roof, killing the tank crew inside.
"Misha, did you see that?" Seryosha couldn't help but smile when he saw the enemy began to rout on a large scale. He got carried away and patted Sokov's back several times with his hand, and said excitedly: "The enemy Escaped, we won!”
Seeing the enemy's defeat, Sokov felt relieved, but he did not dare to take it lightly. After all, the ammunition of his own troops has been almost exhausted. As long as the enemy attacks on this scale again, it will be difficult to stop it. He quickly picked up the phone and said to Vitkov at Beigang: "Comrade Deputy Brigadier, the enemy has been repulsed by us. Immediately order the troops to stop the pursuit and seize the time to collect ammunition to prevent the enemy from launching a new attack."
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
