According to Lieutenant Bisklev's order, half of them put on German uniforms, carried German equipment, and original weapons. A soldier playing the role of a prisoner asked Bisklev curiously: "Comrade Lieutenant, why do they carry two weapons?"
"This is not simple. Now that we have captured the prisoner, we also seized the prisoner's weapons. Isn't this normal?"
"Comrade Lieutenant, I think we should hold this weapon ourselves." The soldier continued: "When we encounter the enemy, I can shoot and kill them immediately."
Hearing what the soldier said, Bisklev stared: "Do the prisoners you captured still have guns in their hands? If they let them go over the hill later, the Germans see someone holding a weapon among the prisoners. , then won’t we be exposed? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pretend to be your prisoner honestly."
When the unit escorting the prisoners crossed the hill and appeared in the sight of the German troops on the farm, a German officer in the trench raised his binoculars and looked at them. He saw that the second lieutenant under his command seemed to be injured and was being beaten by a gunman. With a soldier on his back, he walked slowly down the hill. There were more than a dozen soldiers escorting a similar number of Russian prisoners of war following closely behind.
The officer put down his binoculars and returned to his command post. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the small-scale sneak attack just now. He only sent one platoon of troops and wiped them out easily.
When Bisklev's troops arrived not far from the trench, a German soldier on duty casually asked: "Have you eliminated all the Russians who came to attack?"
The sergeant lying on the soldier's back said vaguely: "They are all wiped out."
"Second Lieutenant Handel," the German soldier noticed the sergeant being carried on his back and asked with concern: "Are you injured?"
"Yes, wounded," the sergeant replied curtly.
The talkative German soldier continued to ask: "Where is the injury?"
"Leg, one shot in the leg..." The sergeant originally wanted to say a few more perfunctory words, but he got stuck because of his nervousness and couldn't even speak a complete sentence for a while.
The German soldier immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly picked up the rifle slung on his shoulder. His reaction was very quick, but he was still a step too slow. Bisklev, who was walking at the front, stabbed the opponent's chest with the bayonet he had prepared, and at the same time covered his mouth to prevent him from screaming. Alarmed other Germans.
After the soldiers on duty were killed, Bisklev quickly checked around and found that there were no enemies at all. He made a gesture to the soldiers behind, telling them to seize the position immediately.
Except for some of the German soldiers on the position who were chasing the fleeing Soviet troops, the rest were sleeping in the shelter. Yesterday's progress was smooth, which gave the German officers and soldiers the illusion that the Soviet troops fighting them were vulnerable. Moreover, when they were alerted by the gunfire just now, they were all standing in the trenches and saw the enemy on the top of the hill firing a burst of gunfire and then running away.
The company commander sent a platoon of troops to pursue them. It didn't take long to annihilate the desperate Russians, and even captured some of them. Seeing this situation, the soldiers all went back to their shelters to sleep in their cages.
It was precisely because of the Germans' underestimation of the enemy that Lieutenant Bisklev was able to lead his troops into the German positions as if they were in uninhabited territory, and eliminate one by one the German soldiers who were still sleeping in the shelter.
When Bisklev and two soldiers were about to break into the German company command post and kill the officers inside, a German soldier wearing a steel helmet walked out of it. When he saw the Soviet soldiers appearing in front of him, he was briefly stunned and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Russians, the Russians are coming..."
Although Bisklev killed him with a bayonet in time, his voice still alerted the officers in the command post. He quickly grabbed the pistol on the table, hid on the side of the door, aimed the gun at the door, and was ready to shoot as soon as someone came in. As soon as a reckless soldier rushed into the command post, he was shot in the head by a German officer and fell on his back at the door.
Seeing the soldier rushing in front of him fall under the enemy's gunfire, Bisklev immediately fired into the room with a submachine gun. After beating half a shuttle in one breath, he bent down and grabbed the sacrificed soldier's shoulders, dragging him out of the door. After dragging the soldier's body to the trench, Bisklev threw a unstrung grenade into the command post.
After a loud "boom", before the smoke cleared, Bisklev rushed into the command post first. He only saw the table that was blown away by the blast and the German officer lying in a pool of blood. He bent down and looked at the other party's military rank. He was a captain, probably the commander of the garrison company here.
Bisklev turned to the sergeant who was carried through the door and said, "Sergeant, please check quickly. Is there any valuable information here?"
With the help of the soldiers, the sergeant stood on one foot on the ground, took the document handed to him by Bisklev, and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a moment, he said in surprise: "Comrade Lieutenant, here is a defense map of the German army on the farm."
Bisklev took it and took a look. It was indeed a detailed defense plan. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Great, this is really great. Come here." He rolled up the blueprint and handed it to a person who just came in. The soldier ordered him, "You should return to the brigade headquarters immediately and give this defense plan to the brigade commander."
"Comrade Lieutenant," the sergeant asked Bisklev tentatively after the soldier who delivered the message left, "the sound of gunfire and explosions must have alerted the nearby enemies. What should we do next?"
"We have to find a way to defend here." Bisklev said to the sergeant: "This way, when our main force launches the attack, we can capture one less position to reduce unnecessary casualties."
"There are only about forty of us," the sergeant asked worriedly, "Can we hold on?"
"We can definitely hold it." After Bisklev said this, he said to the sergeant standing aside: "Comrade Sergeant, send someone to check the position to see if there are any weapons that can be used. The enemy will attack later. It might come in handy when we launch a massive attack here.”
The sound of gunfire and explosions on the position had already alerted the German troops in the distant position. Not long ago, the German commander received a call from the commander of the garrison company, saying that the small unit sent to pursue the Russians had returned successfully and even brought back many prisoners. The commander was extremely happy after hearing the news, but when he heard the gunshots and explosions coming from the position, he immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly called the commander of the garrison company to find out what happened.
However, the phone couldn't be connected at all. The commander realized that something must have gone wrong on the forward position, and quickly called a subordinate and said to him: "There must be something wrong with the garrison company's position. You should take the troops over there and take a look immediately. Whether it has been occupied by the Russians. If the Russians are discovered, we must find a way to eliminate them. Even if they cannot be eliminated, we must find a way to drive them away from our positions."
As soon as the German troops on this position were dispatched, Bisklev discovered them. He even noticed that behind the incoming German troops, there was a building that should be a farm office or something. Judging from the vehicles and motorcycles parked at the door, it was at least a regiment-level headquarters. Unfortunately, it was too far away. Our troops did not carry any heavy weapons, so they could not destroy the building that was seven or eight hundred meters away. things.
When the German army was still more than 300 meters away from the position, the sergeant ran to Bisklev's side panting and reported to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, we found two of the latest MG42 machine guns in the enemy's position. , there is even a 76.2 mm cannon belonging to our army."
"What, there are cannons?" Bisklev was a little surprised when he learned that artillery was also found on the position: "Is it true?"
"Comrade Lieutenant," the sergeant replied, "according to my judgment, this cannon should have belonged to our army, but it fell into the hands of the Germans when the farm was lost."
"Are there any cannonballs?"
"Yes, about thirty rounds."
"There are still more than thirty rounds, that's enough." Bisklev turned to the sergeant and said, "Go and ask immediately who has been an artilleryman."
"What do we need artillery for?" the sergeant asked in confusion.
"Do you see that stretch of buildings in the distance?"
"I saw it," the sergeant nodded and said: "Judging from the style of the building, it should be the Soviet office on the farm. It is probably regarded by the Germans as their headquarters at the moment."
"Comrade Sergeant, I think so too." Bisklev said with a smile: "I think it is at least a regiment-level headquarters. Now that we have artillery, we can destroy them with artillery fire from a long distance. But here Before, we had to find two people who had been artillerymen.”
"Don't worry, Comrade Lieutenant, I will find the artillery as soon as possible." The sergeant said, and ran forward along the trench. As he ran, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Who has been an artilleryman, who has been an artilleryman, Squeak!"
An elderly soldier heard the shouting, raised his hand proactively, and said to the sergeant: "The sergeant said, I used to be an artilleryman."
"Great, this is great." The sergeant pulled the old soldier up and shouted: "Who else is an artilleryman? Who else is an artilleryman?"
After a lot of running around, the sergeant finally found three soldiers who had been artillerymen. Seeing that he had almost found the people, he led them to the cannon and said to them: "Comrade Lieutenant has an order to use artillery fire to destroy the enemy headquarters in the distance. It is seven or eight hundred meters away from here. , are you sure you will hit the target?"
"Comrade Sergeant," the veteran soldier was the first to speak. He asked tentatively, "I would like to ask, how many artillery shells do we have?"
"More than thirty rounds."
"There are still more than thirty rounds." After listening to the sergeant's words, the old soldier showed a relaxed expression on his face: "That's enough."
