Chapter 1103 Combat

   Leading the charge was Captain Grisa, the commander of the fourth company. He had been suppressed in a bomb crater by the German firepower and could not raise his head. The grenades thrown by the Germans from the trenches exploded around him, and the mud, limbs and arms, as well as parts of some guns raised by the air waves kept falling on him.

  Since he was injured last time, Captain Grisa has missed many important battles. Otherwise, with his qualifications and abilities, he is at least a captain and battalion commander now. Therefore, when the commander of the regiment Yershakov handed over the task to the second battalion, he approached the battalion commander, Major Andrei, and took the initiative to undertake the main attack task.

  Now I see that my company is suppressed by the enemy's firepower, unable to advance at a position less than 30 meters away from the trench, and the casualties are still increasing. He turned his head and said to the signal soldier lying on the side: "Contact the battalion commander immediately and ask them to cover the enemy's trench with rockets and cover our company's attack."

   After shouting for a long time, the communications soldier was still lying there motionless, as if he didn't hear Griza's shout at all. Griza yelled twice more, but the messenger still didn't move, and he was so angry that he pushed the opponent hard.

   With this push, the communication soldier turned over, and Griza could see clearly that the opponent's head and shoulders were covered with blood, and it turned out that he had been shot and died long ago. In desperation, Griza could only reach out and grab the talking machine carried by the communicator, and without any codes or secret words, he said directly to the transmitter: "Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, I am Griza, I'm Griza."

Soon, the voice of Battalion Commander Andre came out from the headset: "Grisa, I see that your troops have been suppressed by the German firepower, and it seems that you can't continue to attack. I order you, immediately take Withdraw the troops and regroup before attacking the enemy."

   "No, Comrade Battalion Commander." Griza shouted loudly into the microphone: "The enemy's firepower is too strong. If we retreat now, we will definitely suffer huge casualties."

"Then what should we do?" Andre said anxiously: "If you continue to stay there, you will also be wiped out by the enemy. Otherwise, I will also put the fifth and sixth companies into battle. In this way, the enemy will have no time to take care of you." It's much easier for you to continue attacking or retreat."

   "Comrade Battalion Commander, investing too many troops in such a narrow front will hardly achieve offensive results except for increased casualties."

  Seeing that Griza rejected both of his proposals, Andre couldn't help feeling a little angry: "Is the battalion commander directing the company commander, or the company commander directing the battalion commander? Tell me, what should I do?"

   "Use new rockets to cover the enemy's trenches with firepower." Griza said anxiously: "This may suppress the enemy and cover us from rushing forward."

"Grisa, are you crazy?" Hearing Grisa's plan, Andre immediately became angry: "The distance between you and the enemy's trenches is only twenty or thirty meters, if you use rockets to attack, it is very likely Hurt one's own people."

"Comrade battalion commander, it's too late, hurry up and give an order." Griza said anxiously into the microphone: "My company is under the enemy's fire, and casualties are constantly occurring. If you don't take action, we will There is a danger of annihilation of the entire army."

   "Okay, Captain Grisa." Andre said sadly: "You let the soldiers hide, we are about to launch rockets."

After finishing the call, Grisa leaned out half of his body from the bomb crater, risking being shot, and shouted to the left and right: "Lie down, lie down for me!" After shouting, he retracted into the crater again; After more than ten seconds, he leaned out and continued to shout.

  Captain Andre at the foot of the mountain ordered people to find rocket launchers and ordered them to bombard the German trenches on the hillside. At the same time, he repeatedly told them: "Comrades, please, there are our comrades up there, you must be careful when launching, and don't hurt them."

"Comrade Major," Corporal Minishki, the rocket launcher, said bitterly when he heard Andrei's order: "You also know that the new rockets are powerful, but they are not accurate enough. We can only do our best." For, good luck to those brothers who are in front of the enemy's line."

   After finishing speaking, Corporal Minishki said to his subordinates: "Dismantle the launcher and launch it with a single or double tube to bombard the enemy's trenches."

  The rocket launchers heard Corporal Minishki's words, and quickly dismantled the six-barrel rocket launcher that had been prepared, and changed it into a double-barrel or a single-barrel. After loading the rockets, they waited for Corporal Minishki to give an order.

   "Launch!"

  As the order was issued, seven or eight rockets flew out of the two-tube or single-tube launcher, dragging a long flame tail, and flew towards the German position on the top of the mountain.

  After an earth-shattering explosion, the top of the mountain was once again shrouded in gunpowder smoke. However, the gunfire that had been ringing non-stop suddenly stopped. Seeing that there was no gunfire on the top of the mountain, Andrei called Corporal Minishki and asked, "Corporal, what's going on, why is there no movement up there?"

   "Maybe they were all killed by rocket bombs?"

Hearing Corporal Minishki's answer, Andrei, who was worried about the safety of Griza, couldn't sit still any longer. He jumped out of the trench, raised his pistol, and shouted to the soldiers hiding in other places: "Brothers, come with me!" let me try!"

   "Ulla!" Andre's shout had just stopped, and there was a tsunami-like shout behind him, and then hundreds of soldiers stood up from their hiding places and rushed towards the hillside with their guns in hand.

  Although Andre was the first to charge, he was soon overtaken by more and more fighters. In the smoke in the distance, there were sporadic gunshots, and Andrei could hear the Popov submachine guns and Mosin Nagant rifles of the Soviet army shooting at the tip of his ears, indicating that there were still many soldiers alive in the fourth company. down.

  By the time Andre rushed to the top of the mountain, the battle was basically over.

Stepping on the soft soil, smelling the **** gunpowder smoke, and looking at the corpses all over the ground, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Captain Griza, where are you? Captain Griza, where are you? "

   "Comrade Battalion Commander, Captain Grisa is here!" Just when Andre was extremely anxious, he suddenly heard someone not far away answering loudly: "Captain Grisa is still alive."

  Looking at the clay figurine being supported by two soldiers, it took Andre a long time to realize that this person was Griza whom he was eager to find. He stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's shoulder, and said loudly: "Good job, Captain Griza, without you, we would not have been able to take down the enemy's position so quickly."

   "Report to Comrade Battalion Commander," Griza replied irrelevantly after standing upright, "Your rockets were so accurate that almost two-thirds of them hit the enemy's trenches..."

Seeing Andre's bewildered look, the soldiers around Griza quickly explained to him: "Comrade Battalion Commander, Captain Griza's ears have been deafened, he can't hear what you are saying at all. "

  Andre sighed, and then ordered the soldiers: "Escort Captain Griza down, let the doctor treat him well, and make sure he recovers his hearing as soon as possible."
