The tank unit driving along the road was the special tank battalion commanded by Major Bunch. This battalion was the only unit in the 4th Guards Tank Corps equipped with 12 T-3485 tanks. Out of love for them, Army Commander General Polubyarov would make an exception to use them only in the most important battles.
This time, after receiving Sokov's order, after breaking through October Town, they continued south along the highway, joined the troops who detoured behind October Town, and attacked the enemy who came for reinforcements. In order to ensure victory in the battle, General Polubyarov did not hesitate to order the battalion as the forward force of the entire army to complete this glorious task.
The tank driving at the front was Major Bunch's command tank. As soon as he drove out of the forest, Bunch passed through the lookout hole and found that there seemed to be an ambush on both sides of the road dozens of meters away. He quickly shouted loudly: "Stop, stop quickly!"
Although the tank driver didn't know what happened, he stepped on the brakes in time and stopped the tank. Seeing that the tank had stopped, Bunch turned and ordered his men: "There seem to be troops ambushing on both sides of the road ahead. Everyone is ready to fight."
After giving the instructions, Major Bunch stood up, pushed open the hatch cover, and leaned out to observe. Although he knew in his heart that if the ambushes on both sides of the road ahead were really German troops, he would become a target for snipers as soon as he went out. But there is no way. The field of view in the tank is too narrow, and the range of observation is limited. If you want to see the surrounding environment clearly, you can only venture out and take a look.
Leaning half out of the hatch, Major Bunch raised his binoculars and looked at the road ahead. Sure enough, he found that there seemed to be an army ambushing in the bushes on both sides of the road. He quickly lowered his head and shouted into the car: "Aim a little closer. Direction, be ready to fire."
The tank crew in the car heard Major Bunch's order and quickly and slowly turned the turret, aiming the black muzzle at the unknown bushes.
At this moment, two soldiers wearing Soviet uniforms suddenly emerged from the bushes and walked quickly towards the tank waving their hands. When Major Bunch saw someone appearing, his first reaction was to observe the weapons on the other person to determine who he was.
Before setting off, Major Bunch received an order from General Polubyarov to let them pass through October Town and join forces with friendly forces who arrived here first. Although the two people who appear in the telescope lens are wearing Soviet uniforms, who can guarantee that they are not Germans in disguise? The first thing he observed was the weapons on the opponent, because he knew that some Germans often forgot to change their weapons after disguising themselves as Soviet soldiers, and still carried their original German equipment.
After looking at them for a moment, Major Bunch recognized that the two men were carrying assault rifles owned only by the 27th Army. He quickly lowered his head and shouted into the tank: "Don't fire, it's our own people who are coming."
After saying this, Major Bunch climbed out of the turret, jumped off the vehicle, and forced two Soviet commanders and fighters to run over.
When the two sides were five or six meters apart, they both stopped in unison. An officer coming from the opposite side first asked: "Are you from the 4th Guards Tank Corps?"
"Yes, I am Major Bunch, commander of the Special Tank Battalion of the 4th Guards Tank Corps." After Bunch revealed his identity, he asked: "Which unit are you in?"
"Hello, Comrade Major!" A captain on the opposite side said: "Captain Seryosha, the guard company commander of our group army, was ordered to detour back here."
After Major Bunch looked at Captain Seryosha, he asked with some surprise: "Comrade Captain, I would like to ask, what kind of mission is it that actually requires you to do it?"
Seryosha did not conceal the other party, but answered truthfully: "Comrade Major, our task is to go back to the enemy's rear and cut off their contact with the outside world. In other words, we must not only block the German reinforcements, but also Stop the broken troops escaping from October Town."
"You are the only company?" Major Bunch asked in surprise, "Can you complete such an arduous task?"
"Who said we only have one company." Seryosha quickly explained: "The superiors arranged a battalion to perform this task. Because they were short of troops, they temporarily transferred my guard company from the group army headquarters to strengthen it. Their power.”
"Where are the rest of them?"
Hearing Major Bunch's question, Seryosha quickly turned around and gestured towards where Guchakov was hiding, indicating that they could come out.
Guchakov, who was hiding in the grass, saw Seryosha giving him a signal, so he stood up from the bushes and led his two company commanders towards the location of Major Bunch.
Major Bunch, who was talking to Seryosha, saw several Germans standing up from the bushes. He was frightened and quickly drew his pistol. Seeing this, Seryosha quickly grabbed his hand and reminded him: "Comrade Major, don't be nervous, we are all our own people."
After hearing that it was one of his own, Major Bunch still hesitated for a moment before thinking of the possibility that the friendly troops had deliberately put on German uniforms for the convenience of performing their missions. Just listen to Seryozha continue: "In order to better perform the mission of inserting behind enemy lines, all of us put on German uniforms. I just took off the German uniforms I was wearing to prevent misunderstandings."
Guchakov came to Major Bunch, introduced himself to him, and asked: "Comrade Major, how many tanks have you come here?"
"Our battalion only has twelve tanks, and they all came with me." Seeing the disappointed expression on Guchakov's face, Major Bunch quickly added: "Don't worry, we are equipped with T-3485 tanks. It is much stronger than the original T-3476 tank, even if it faces the German Panther tank, it will not fall behind."
Guchakov had seen how the earliest T-3485 tanks dealt with German tanks during the Battle of Stalingrad. Naturally, he knew that the other party's claims were not exaggerated. If an encounter occurred, these 12 tanks would be enough to defeat German tanks. Together with his own troops, he can completely block the German reinforcements.
"Comrade Major," Bunch glanced at the soldiers standing up from the bushes in the distance, and said with some contempt: "Are your troops just sitting here doing nothing?"
Before Guchakov could say anything to Bunchi's words, the irritated Seryosha said first: "Comrade Major, if we hadn't gotten lost in the process of crossing, maybe some soldiers would have sneaked in by now. We have captured October Town and are currently assisting the friendly forces in capturing October Town."
"Comrade Major," Guchakov said politely to Bunch after Seryosha finished speaking: "According to the orders from our superiors, when our battalion arrived here, except for leaving some troops to block the German reinforcements, the rest The troops used their German uniforms to sneak into October Town and assist the friendly forces in the frontal attack to liberate the entire town."
"Then why are you still here and not taking any action?"
"The reason is very simple." Guchakov replied: "Captain Seryosha just told you that we were lost in the forest. This is true. Because this attack started too hastily, we simply couldn't There was no time to reconnoiter the road in the forest, and as a result, we lost our way during the movement and missed the best time."
After figuring out the reason why Guchakov and the others did not start acting as planned, Bunch changed the subject in time: "Then what should we do next?"
Guchakov took out a map from his satchel, unfolded it and spread it on the ground, and said to Bunch: "Comrade Major, the mission of our battalion is to persist until the main force attacking October Town arrives, and then to reinforce the troops heading north. The enemy counterattacks. After repelling the enemy, one should decisively pursue the enemy and follow the enemy into their next stronghold."
After hearing this, Major Bunch nodded slightly and said: "Major Guchakov, after I received the order, I also cooperated with you to repel the German reinforcements, launched a counterattack, and then followed them to pursue them to capture the next one. A town occupied by the enemy. However, judging from your current situation, it seems that the enemies reinforcing October Town have not yet appeared."
"Yes, Major Bunch, you are right." Guchakov took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Bunch: "The enemy has not shown up yet, and I don't know if they have assembled their troops yet. , I’m still too frightened to come for reinforcements.”
"We can't wait here." Bunch took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth, but did not light it immediately: "Major Guchakov, do you have any good suggestions?"
Before Guchakov could answer, a roar suddenly came from the distance. Bunch looked alertly in the direction of the sound and asked sharply: "What is that sound?"
"Comrade Major, that is the hovercraft that sent us here." Since the hovercraft had already appeared in the battle to liberate Belgorod, Guchakov did not hide it from Major Bunch: "They have completed their mission. Getting ready to return."
"Oh oh oh, it turns out to be a hovercraft." Bunch looked at the forest where the sound came from, trying his best to see the shape of the hovercraft clearly, but due to the obstruction of the trees, he couldn't see anything clearly, so he could only say regretfully: " I’ve heard of this kind of thing, but unfortunately I’ve never seen it.”
After hearing that it was one of his own, Major Bunch still hesitated for a moment before thinking of the possibility that the friendly troops had deliberately put on German uniforms for the convenience of performing their missions. Just listen to Seryozha continue: "In order to better perform the mission of inserting behind enemy lines, all of us put on German uniforms.
