The German commander's shouts were drowned in the dense gunfire and explosions. Not to mention the soldiers in the distance, even his subordinates a few steps away from him did not hear what he was shouting.
A soldier not far away from him accidentally saw the commander shouting, but couldn't hear clearly what he was shouting, so he ran over and half-crouched in front of him and asked loudly .
At this moment, the German commander heard the whistling of artillery shells in the air. Without thinking, he grabbed the soldier by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and used him to block the fatal blow. hit.
After a loud "boom", the German commander fell on his back and fell to the ground. His ears could no longer hear any sound. He knew by feeling that the shell was falling next to him and exploded. The huge shock wave made him feel his internal organs. It hurts like a misalignment.
After an unknown amount of time, the German commander, who had regained his breath, felt that the soldiers pressing on him were making him breathless. He pushed gently, but there was no reaction from the other party. According to his rich combat experience, the soldier pressing on him was already dead. However, he did not feel even a trace of sadness in his heart for this soldier who had become a cannonball for him. After all, he was a major, and the other party was just an ordinary soldier. If he died, he would die. It was no big deal. He still had a large group of subordinates anyway.
The German major struggled to free one hand and used his elbow to push the body that was pressing on him away a little. He suddenly felt that he could breathe easier. He raised his hand to wipe away the greasy things on his face, and slowly opened his eyes, only to see that only half of the lost soldier's head was left, staring at him motionless with a pair of wide eyes. The major was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes. At this moment, he finally understood what the greasy thing on his face was. He felt nauseated and almost vomited on the spot.
The German major opened his eyes again, and with the help of the firelight burning on the battlefield, he saw clearly that there were corpses scattered all around. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw his men falling in pieces under the muzzles of the Russians. He was so regretful now that his intestines were green. Why didn't he be more careful and send out soldiers to explore the way? At this moment, he just hoped that his troops could hold on for a while longer, and that the defenders who persisted until the highlands came to rescue them would be out of danger.
The offensive of the German officers and soldiers continued. The Soviet soldiers standing on the hillside fired at the fastest speed. The light machine guns had been changed to continuous long bursts of fire. The heavy machine gunners' fingers were tightly holding the triggers, and they were carrying bullet belts one by one. After being sent in, the bullet casings that popped out spread layer after layer on the ground. A dozen or twenty light and heavy machine guns formed a cross fire, and the fire net composed of dark red fire whips swayed left and right, knocking down rows of enemy troops like cutting wheat, and even cut a few unlucky soldiers into two. part.
Because the German army's attack was too hasty and unable to suppress the Soviet army in terms of firepower, their attack was quickly repelled. There were piles of dead bodies and injured people left on the hillside. Those with minor injuries could still struggle to climb back; while the seriously injured people could only stay where they were, screaming and wailing, waiting for the arrival of death. Their shouts one after another caused goosebumps to appear on the bodies of the commanders and soldiers on the hillside.
Seeing this scene, Mikhailev turned to the second battalion commander and said: "Comrade second battalion commander, the enemy behaved very tenaciously. If it weren't for our superior firepower and their unpreparedness, we disrupted their attack." establishment, otherwise it is really unknown whether we can stop them.”
The second battalion commander looked in the direction of the high ground and tentatively asked Mikhailov: "Comrade Deputy Brigadier, there is such a big commotion here, Comrade Commander and others must have heard it. Please tell me, they will report to us again." An attack on the enemy's position?"
"That's for sure, Comrade Second Battalion Commander." Mikhailev said in a positive tone: "If Comrade Commander doesn't even know how to grasp such a fighter opportunity, then it's not the commander's character. I believe it won't be long before he On the other side of the high ground, we will attack the enemy's high ground again."
While the two were studying Sokov's possible measures, the guard battalion of the 300th Division, under the cover of artillery fire, launched a new attack on the enemy standing on the top of the mountain. The difference between this attack and the previous ones is that before the infantry charge, tanks and artillery were used to bombard the enemy's position. After the infantry began to charge, the tanks stopped firing, and the two newly reinforced mortar companies provided the basis for the attack. The troops provided necessary artillery support to destroy those exposed fire points.
The German officers and soldiers holding on to the position on the top of the mountain saw the Soviet commanders and soldiers rushing up again. When they were about to repeat their old tricks and use intensive firepower to intercept fire, the mortar crews mixed among the infantry had already set up their mortars. artillery and locked the enemy's position. As long as a firepower point is exposed, one or even several mortars will fire at the same time, blasting the machine gunner and his gun into the sky.
These well-trained mortar operators did not fire at a fixed location. After completing a round of shooting, they immediately packed up their belongings and followed the infantry forward, and selected a suitable location to establish a new artillery position. In this way, in less than five minutes, the commanders and fighters of the guard battalion rushed into the enemy's position and engaged in close combat and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy in the trenches.
But Sokov, who was in the woods in the distance, could not help but feel his throat rising when he saw the attacking troops rushing into the enemy's positions through his binoculars. He learned from Weisbach that the commanders and fighters of the 300th Division had rushed into the enemy's positions many times. However, before he could gain a firm foothold, he was stunned by the enemy's shells. Then the enemy counterattacked and drove the attacking troops down from the top of the mountain. He was worried that the same mistake would be repeated this time.
Sokov was nervous, and Weisbach beside him was equally nervous. The most elite guard battalion of the 300th Division has already gone into battle. If they cannot seize the enemy's position, then he may become the division commander with the shortest tenure in the 27th Army. He does not want this to happen.
"Comrade Commander," Weisbach stammered as he asked Sokov, "do you think the commanders and fighters of the guard battalion can occupy the enemy's positions?"
"I think it should be possible." Although Sokov was also unsure, in front of his subordinates, he still replied in a positive tone: "I believe that with the combat effectiveness of the guard battalion, it should not be possible to capture the enemy's high ground. What a big problem.”
"It would be great if we could win it." Weisbach said: "If this attack fails again, I don't know where to deploy troops to complete this task." The German commander said The shouts were drowned in the dense gunfire and explosions. Not to mention the soldiers in the distance, even his subordinates a few steps away from him did not hear what he was shouting.
