The soldiers' spontaneous counterattack still resulted in intensive firepower, causing considerable casualties to the German officers and soldiers walking through the smoke. Many soldiers had to find craters to avoid, and then stuck their heads out to shoot at Soviet commanders and fighters in the distance.
Seeing that the troops in front were intercepted by Soviet fire, the German troops behind immediately set up mortars for bombardment. Fortunately, there was smoke, and although the German mortars fired vigorously, they did not cause many casualties to the Soviet army.
At this time, a machine gun on the Soviet side rang out. The machine gunner was eager to eliminate the threat of German artillery fire, so he fired in the direction of the mortar. Unfortunately, the aimless shooting failed to suppress the mortar fire, but instead attracted more firepower. A moment later, the machine gun misfired under intense German firepower.
The Soviet commanders and fighters, who lost the cover of machine gun fire, couldn't help but fall into chaos. The German army took the opportunity to concentrate its firepower and shoot at the location where the Soviet army might be concentrated. The intensive firepower knocked all the Soviet commanders and fighters off their feet, and in less than a minute, many of them were shot and wounded.
Colonel Surodenko in the distance saw his men being suppressed by German firepower. He was so anxious that he pounded the ground with his fists. He wanted to rescue him, but the Germans had the advantage of firepower. At this time, sending troops up would be tantamount to Let more people die.
"Comrade division commander," the chief of staff came to Surodenko's side and said anxiously: "The troops in front may be annihilated by the Germans at any time. We should do something to rescue them from danger."
"Chief of Staff, tell me, what can we do now?" Surodenko pointed to the distance and said angrily: "You haven't seen how fierce the enemy's firepower is. If we can't suppress them, we will send another If more troops go up, it's just to let them die."
"But, comrade division commander." Although the division chief of staff understood that what Surodenko said was true, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken as he watched his subordinates suffer casualties under the fire of the German army. He said unwillingly: "Are we just going to watch them being wiped out by the Germans?"
"What can I do?" Surodenko said helplessly: "The enemy has long-range heavy artillery. As long as our troops are concentrated, they can carry out violent bombardment and cause us huge casualties."
"So what do we do now?"
"Let the soldiers dig fortifications." Surodenko felt that under the current circumstances, he could only abandon the troops in danger ahead and save the remaining troops. As for the superior's blocking order, let it go to hell. His troops were about to be defeated by the Germans. How could he still have the ability to block the fleeing enemy? "With fortifications, even if we are bombarded by heavy German artillery again, we can minimize casualties."
"Comrade Division Commander, Comrade Division Commander." At this time, the operator carrying a walkie-talkie trotted up to Surodenko and reported with some excitement: "This is the call from Comrade Commander."
"Comrade Commander, this is Surodenko." Surodenko put on the headphones and said into the microphone: "Currently our division is under fierce attack by the German army. The situation is very dangerous. I repeat, the situation is very dangerous. .”
"Colonel Surodenko," Melekhov's voice came from the earphones: "I know that the situation of your division is very bad, but don't worry, Comrade Commander has sent the air force to support you. Our troops will be waiting for you later. When the plane arrives, remember to do a good job of guiding the ground and don't let the bombs they drop hit our own people."
When he learned that the air force was about to arrive for support, Surodenko, who was on the verge of despair, immediately saw a glimmer of hope. He hurriedly asked: "Comrade Commander, when will our air force arrive? Our current situation is very serious. Oops, if the air support cannot arrive in time, there is a danger of the entire army being annihilated."
