Papuchenko held a submachine gun and ran forward while shouting at the top of his lungs to the soldiers lying on the ground: "You damn cowards, keep lying on the ground and you won't be afraid of calluses on your belly." You cowards? Seeing Wu Liya being killed by enemy bullets in front of you, you dare not say a word, are you still men? "
The sound of gunfire and explosions drowned out Papuchenko's shouts, and only a few soldiers could barely hear what he was shouting. First, one or two soldiers tried to stand up, bent over and ran towards the enemy's position. Seeing that their comrades had stood up first, the soldiers lying on the ground felt ashamed. They also stood up one after another, imitating their comrades, bending down and rushing towards the enemy's position.
The Romanian machine gunner who was shooting wildly suddenly realized that something was wrong. The Soviet commanders and fighters who had been suppressed by his firepower suddenly got up from the ground. Although people continued to be shot and fell as they charged forward, the people behind them stepped over the wounded or corpses without looking back and rushed forward without hesitation.
Before the Romanian army's firepower could pin the Soviet commanders and fighters to the ground again, someone in the attacking troops shouted a slogan first: "Avenge Wu Liya, move forward!"
First there were one or two people shouting, then more than ten or twenty people. Not all the soldiers witnessed Wu Liya's sacrifice. At this moment, when they heard the slogans shouted by their comrades, they knew that the female health worker Wu Liya, who was loved by all the commanders and soldiers in the division, had died on the battlefield.
For a moment, hundreds of commanders and soldiers who were rushing towards the enemy's position were all as if they were drunk. While shouting slogans of revenge for Wu Liya, they braved the enemy's bullets and bravely rushed towards the enemy's position.
It is difficult for one person to stop ten thousand people, let alone hundreds or thousands of people who are trying their best. How can the Romanian army that sticks to its position be able to stop it. In less than three minutes, there were several trenches in which Soviet soldiers rushed in and immediately started a melee with the Romanian officers and soldiers inside.
The regiment chief of staff passed the lookout and saw that the troops of the first and second battalions had rushed into the trenches of the enemy's second line of defense and started a melee with the enemy. He quickly reported to Sokov: "Comrade division commander, our Troops have rushed into the enemy's trenches."
"Let the commanders and fighters of the 124th Regiment stay." After Sokov and the chief of staff of the regiment finished speaking, he immediately ordered him: "You lead the third battalion and rush up to join Lieutenant Colonel Papuchenko."
After Sokov saw the chief of staff of the regiment leading the three battalions to attack on the high ground, he called Starcha, the commander of the 124th regiment: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Papuchenko has taken command of his regiment." The base has been moved to the enemy's second line of defense. I now order you to immediately move the regiment command post forward to the position of the first line of defense."
Starcha saw that the battle ahead was in full swing, but he was sitting in the command post at the foot of Nangang Mountain doing nothing, and felt particularly depressed. At this moment, after receiving Sokov's order, Ru heard the voice and quickly replied: "Don't worry, comrade division commander, I will move the regiment command post forward immediately."
Regardless of the fact that the 122nd Regiment captured the enemy's second line of defense, it was a certainty that it could not escape, but Sokov's heart was still uneasy. He finally told Starcia: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, after your regiment command post reaches its new location, you must seize the time to consolidate the defenses to prevent possible enemy counterattacks."
"Comrade Division Commander, we have Lieutenant Colonel Papuchenko's 122nd Regiment in front of us. It will be difficult for the enemy to rush over." Starcha did not understand what Sokov meant. He thought that the other party was worried that the enemy would attack from the front. In response, he said carelessly: "Don't worry."
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I'm not at ease." Seeing that Starcha didn't understand what he wanted to express, Sokov simply talked about the matter: "The enemy will never watch their defensive positions. One by one they fall into our hands. Next, they will definitely launch a counterattack to regain their lost position. If the frontal attack does not work, they will attack from the flanks. If you do not have strong defenses, Once the enemy takes the position away from you, Lieutenant Colonel Papuchenko and the others will become a lone army. Do you understand?"
After Sokov's explanation, Starcha immediately understood what was going on. Thinking that the enemy might launch an attack from the flank, he was startled into a cold sweat. If the situation mentioned by the division commander really happened, then the two regiments of himself and Papuchenko would be surrounded by the enemy. Whether or not to escape intact is a question.
When the 122nd Regiment occupied the enemy's second line of defense, Papuchenko stood on a high place and gave orders to his subordinates: "Find me the sniper who shot at Wu Liya immediately. I will see him dead or his corpse." .Even if he died in the melee just now, you must drag his body in front of me."
When the commanders and soldiers heard Papuchenko's order, they loudly agreed and began to look for the sniper who killed Wu Liya among the piles of corpses and prisoners.
After a lot of trouble, someone finally came over with a Romanian prisoner and reported to Papuchenko: "Report to the leader, we have caught the murderer of Comrade Wu Liya."
Papuchenko looked at the Romanian Army sniper carefully, only to find that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, as if he had just been taught a lesson. Papuchenko thought for a moment and knew that it was the soldiers who captured the sniper who did it. They wanted to use this method to avenge their favorite female health worker Wu Liya.
Papuchenko had no interest in interrogating this sniper at all. He said to the two soldiers who grabbed the prisoner's arms: "Let him go!"
As soon as the two soldiers let go, the sniper fell to the ground with a thud. Just as he was trying to get up, Papuchenko walked over and kicked his vest hard. While the sniper fell down again, Papuchenko pulled out the sniper's waistband. TT-33 pistol, aimed at the back of the sniper's head, and fired all eight bullets in the magazine in one go.
After running out of bullets, Papuchenko stared at the headless sniper on the ground and said in a low voice: "Wuliya, I avenge you!" After he put the pistol back into the holster, he was stunned by the order. The two soldiers "threw his body in front of the prisoners and showed them what would happen if they casually shot and killed our health workers."
The two soldiers quickly agreed, suppressing their nausea, and one of them grabbed the sniper's leg and dragged him towards the place where the prisoner was being guarded.
