Chapter 1087 Fire Attack

When Lieutenant Ball rushed out of the checkpoint in the east of the city, he couldn't help feeling ecstatic. According to his reconnaissance, there was no Soviet checkpoint in the east of the city. He only needed to drive a little further, find a suitable place to park, and hide for a few days. , you can find a way to return to your own defense zone.

  Unexpectedly, extreme joy begets sorrow. He had a car accident on the way, and there were more than 50 people on the opposite side. No matter how capable he was, he couldn't kill them all. After shooting down several Soviet soldiers, he hid in a nearby forester's cabin with a yard.

  The log cabin was built with logs, with only one door and no windows. There was a small yard surrounded by a wooden fence in front of the door. If people outside want to enter the house, they must first rush into the yard. Lieutenant Ball hid behind the door, and the entire yard was within his sight. As long as the Soviet army rushed into the yard, they would be killed by his firepower.

  The Soviet army surrounding the wooden house had launched two attacks, but both were repulsed by Lieutenant Pohl. There were nine corpses lying in disorder in the yard. According to their clothes, Lieutenant Ball judged that some of them were regular soldiers, some were civilian police, and those in civilian clothes were militiamen.

   There were only eight corpses lying in the yard, and the other one was a wounded militiaman. He may have been shot in the abdomen and kept screaming while clutching his stomach. Lieutenant Ball, overwhelmed by his noise, shot him in the head and freed him completely.

  It was past eight o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant Pohl heard the sound of an armored vehicle outside, and immediately realized that the Soviet reinforcements had arrived, and it became even more difficult for him to escape.

  Colonel Miyakotin, who commanded the siege of Lieutenant Bohr here, saw Sokov coming in an armored vehicle in person, and hurried over to report to him: "Comrade Commander, Colonel Miyakotin, Commander of the Artillery Division..."

   Before he could finish answering according to the order, Sokov interrupted him and asked bluntly, "Tell me about the situation here."

"The enemy is trapped in the wooden house by us." Miyakotin said with a wry smile: "The wooden house is built of logs. There are no windows on three sides. The only side with a door is facing the yard. As long as the enemy hides at the door, The fighters we rush into the courtyard will all be within his range of fire."

   "Have you ever organized an attack?"

   "There were two attacks." Miyakotin said: "When I rushed into the yard, I was beaten out. Nine soldiers were sacrificed, and three others were injured."

  Sokov got out of the armored vehicle and followed Miyakotin to a place not far from the cabin. With the help of the moonlight, he observed the movement of the cabin. I saw that the door of the room was ajar, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside. Sokov turned to Seryozha who was following him: "Seryozha, order the soldiers to light more torches."

   "What, light a torch?" Hearing Sokov's strange order, Seryozha reminded him: "If we light a torch, we will become the target of the Germans in the house."

"Didn't you see the other three sides of the wooden house? There are no windows?" Sokov explained to Seryozha: "You light torches where you can't see the door, and I will try to persuade him to surrender. If he refuses to surrender , you set fire to the house and burn the enemy to death in the house.”

   Seryozha took the order to leave. Not long after, the soldiers standing on the side of the wooden house lit a torch, which illuminated the wooden house very clearly. Sokov found a safe place and shouted into the wooden house: "Lieutenant Pohl, you are surrounded by us, and there is no point in continuing to resist. Put down your weapons immediately and come out to surrender. I, Colonel Sokov, promise Give you the treatment you deserve as a prisoner of war."

   "Comrade Commander," Miyakotin, who was lying on the side, panicked when he heard Sokov say this: "He killed so many of our soldiers, so you just bypass him like this?"

   "Soldiers never tire of deceit, first trick him out." The other party killed so many soldiers of his own, even if he really put down his weapon and surrendered, Sokov would never let him go easily. He yelled like this because he didn't want his subordinates to suffer any more casualties.

"Colonel Sokov!" Lieutenant Pohl answered in the room, and he shouted loudly: "I have heard of your name for a long time, and know that you are a man of faith. But I am a German officer, and the officer is I can't surrender, so I can only continue to fight with you until I die. You don't need to waste your words, I will not surrender."

  Sokov didn't expect Lieutenant Pohl to answer so simply. Knowing that it was pointless to continue persuading him, he gestured to Seryozha not far away, indicating that he could set fire to the house.

  Seryozha immediately conveyed the order to his subordinates, and the soldiers holding torches threw the torches to the top of the wooden house one after another. There was thick snow on the roof, and the first few torches thrown up were quickly extinguished in the snow. But as more and more torches were thrown on the roof, the snow on the roof began to melt, and part of the wooden roof revealed its original appearance.

   After just a few minutes, the roof started to burn.

   Seeing the roof starting to burn, some impatient soldiers kicked down the wooden fence and rushed to the side of the door. With all his strength, he threw the torch in his hand through the open door.

  The torch thrown in was quickly thrown out by Lieutenant Ball. In order to prevent the Soviet army from continuing to throw torches into the house, he simply closed the door. The door was closed, and the soldiers near the door could no longer continue throwing torches into the house, so they had to throw the torches in their hands on the roof.

   "Comrade Commander," Miyakotin, who saw the guard company launching a fire attack, said to Sokov, "Now that the roof is on fire, it may take a long time to burn down the entire wooden house."

"Comrade Colonel, you have talked a lot. According to the current intensity of the fire, even if it burns for another hour, it may not be able to burn him to death." Seeing that the effect of the fire attack was too busy, Sokov shouted at Seryozha: "Seryozha, come to me!"

   Following the shout, Seryozha appeared in front of him, quietly waiting for him to give an order.

   "Did you bring a bazooka?" Sokov pointed to the cabin with a burning roof, and said in a firm tone, "Use the bazooka to knock down the cabin."

   "Comrade Commander," Seryozha reminded Sokov: "This wooden house is made of logs. Even if the rocket bombs knock down the wooden house, it may not be able to kill him. If he rushes out in the chaos, how should we deal with it?"

"It's very simple. Put up a machine gun and aim in the direction of the wooden house. Once you find someone coming out of the wooden house after it collapses, shoot with a machine gun." Sokov said with a sneer, "I don't believe that his flesh and blood can block the machine gun." bullet."

   "Yes, I will deploy immediately."

  Five minutes later, a rocket with long white smoke flew towards the wooden house. After a loud bang, half of the wooden house collapsed, and a black figure staggered out of the house. The machine gun that had been prepared for a long time began to fire. Amidst the sound of firing, the black shadow circled around twice before falling softly to the ground.
