Chapter 815 Eliminate Remnant Enemies in the Factory Area (Part 2)

As the divisional commander of the defenders of the Dzerzhinsky Factory, whether it is Zholudev or Sokolov, they all know that Colonel Bely's tank brigade will send personnel tonight to attack those who have long run out of fuel in the factory area. and ammunition for tanks and assault guns. When they first heard the news, the two of them were very happy. They thought that as long as they killed the German tanks and assault guns, the enemy's infantry would not be able to take advantage of the enemy's infantry in the daytime battle tomorrow. A counterattack can restore those lost positions.

   But after a while, the two of them could no longer be happy. If they want to counterattack the enemy, the best time is naturally at night. If the comrades in the tank brigade had just blown up the enemy's tanks, and their own troops launched a counterattack, the enemies outside the factory could only stare blankly, because no matter whether they use artillery or air force, they will inevitably accidentally injure their own people.

Zholudev took the initiative to call Sokolov, and after expressing his thoughts to the other party, he tentatively asked: "Comrade Colonel, do you think we should call the headquarters and ask the commander to allow us to take advantage of the situation?" Attack in the dark and wipe out all the enemies in the factory area?"

"Comrade General," Sokolov waited for Zoludev to finish speaking, and said with surprise on his face: "I also have the same idea. If we take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the tank brigade wipes out the enemy's tanks, we can send a message to the enemy in the factory area." Launch a night raid and maybe we'll be able to settle the fight before daylight. I was thinking about whether I should call you when yours came first."

   Seeing that his proposal was supported by Sokolov, Zollujev felt very relieved. "Comrade Colonel, let me make the call if I see the phone. I think the commander will seriously consider our suggestion when he knows that the two of us have the same ideas."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ruoludev put down the phone and had not had time to call the headquarters, Chief of Staff Brushko greeted him first: "Comrade Commander, I have your call. It is General Krylov, Chief of Staff of the Army Group. of."

   Knowing that it was Krylov's call, Zoludev quickly reached out to answer the phone, and said into the microphone: "Hello, Comrade Chief of Staff, what can I do for you?"

"General Zholudev, good evening." Krylov said straight to the point: "I called you because I have something important to inform you. After discussing with the commander, I decided to complete it in the Bely Tank Brigade. After the destruction of the German technical equipment, you and Sokolov's troops took the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the enemies in the factory area, and we must eliminate the enemies who broke into the factory area before dawn."

"This is really great, Comrade Chief of Staff. I was planning to call you and asked you and the commander to ask us to take advantage of the night to launch a counterattack against the enemy. I didn't expect your call to come first." Zolludev just After saying this, he suddenly realized that his troops were limited. Even if he really participated in the counterattack, he might not be able to play a big role. He hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Comrade Chief of Staff, there is another problem now. After a long period of fighting, our division has been greatly reduced. Now there are only a thousand people left in the division. It is necessary to use this force. It may be very difficult to eliminate the enemies in the factory area."

"Don't worry, General Zholudev." Krylov chuckled after listening to Zoludev's complaints, and said to him: "Comrade Commander has considered your current situation a long time ago, so from Colonel Sokov Borrow a regiment of troops to assist your counterattack tonight. Comrade Commander sent his adjutant, Lieutenant Klimov, as a liaison officer to act with this force. I don't think it will be long before this force will enter the factory area, You should send someone to respond as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"This is really great." Knowing that Chuikov sent reinforcements to him, Ruoludev was really overjoyed, and he quickly replied: "I will send people to meet the friendly troops immediately, and I will never let my own people fight with my own people." occur."

  Jolu Jeff put down the microphone and was considering who should be sent to meet the friendly troops. The division political commissar Sherbina stood up and asked him to join him: "Comrade commander, let me go to meet the friendly troops."

"Okay," although the commander of the friendly army is just a regimental commander, Ruolu Jeff put the other party on an equal footing with himself, so he also accepted the division's political commissar's request to meet the friendly army. He readily agreed: "Comrade Political Commissar, I will trouble you to go there yourself."

  ...

  When Lujev sent his political commissar to meet Belkin's troops, the combat team led by Alitai had already approached a German tank parking spot.

The soldier in charge of reconnaissance came back and reported to Alitai: "Comrade lieutenant, I checked carefully. There are two German tanks ahead, and five soldiers are guarding them. The rest of the soldiers are in the ruins fifty or sixty meters away. There are two bonfires lit, and they are cooking and eating."

   After the soldiers finished speaking, Ali Tai asked, "How many German soldiers are there?"

   "I was afraid of exposing the target, so I didn't dare to get too close to the target." The soldier in charge of reconnaissance replied in a panic: "Probably, maybe, maybe there are more than 20 people."

Ali Tai glared at the other party, and criticized the other party in a serious tone: "As a scout, your responsibility is to report accurate information to the commander, instead of using vague words such as probably, maybe, maybe, to report. Your reconnaissance results are likely to affect the judgment of the military commander. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Comrade Lieutenant." After being criticized, the scout counted on his fingers for a while, then looked up at Alitai and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, I roughly calculated that there should be twenty-five Germans warming up." Up to twenty-eight."

Although the scouts did not give an exact number, Alitai had already calculated the enemy's total strength in his mind: "There are five sentries guarding the tank, and another twenty-five to twenty-eight people are warming the fire. That is to say, the enemy The total strength of the army is about thirty. And we only have seven people, once we are entangled by the enemy, it will not be so easy to withdraw."

   Seeing that Ali Tai remained silent for a long time, the scout asked in a low voice: "Comrade Lieutenant, the number of enemies is several times larger than ours. I am worried that even if we finish blowing up the tanks, it will not be easy to retreat."

   "Comrades, I'm going to divide the work now." After careful consideration, Alitai felt that although the Germans were more numerous than himself, he was still sure of winning despite mental calculations and unintentional calculations. He called the soldiers in front of him and said to them: "I will take three submachine gunners and sneak near the enemy warming up. The rest of the comrades, led by scouts, will blow up the German tanks. "

Ali Tait emphasized to the scouts: "After you see that I have brought people close to the position where the German army is warming up, you will decisively use a submachine gun to eliminate the soldiers standing guard next to the tank, and then use Molotov cocktails to burn down the enemy's tank. The enemy who is warming up Hearing the gunshots from your side, I will definitely not be able to recover for a while, and I will stand still for a while, and then we will throw our hands at the enemy and shoot them with submachine guns..."

  After assigning combat missions, Alitai asked again: "Do you understand everything?"

   "Understood!" The soldiers replied neatly.

   "Now that you understand, let's go." With a wave of his hand, Ali Tai disappeared into the night with three soldiers, and quietly walked towards the ruins where the German army was warming.

   The scouts took the remaining two soldiers and quietly came to the ruins more than 30 meters away from the German tanks. He asked the two soldiers to stand guard with guns, but he looked in the direction where Aritai disappeared, and when he saw the lieutenant leading people close to the enemy warming up, he decisively ordered the soldiers to shoot.

   After waiting for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw several black shadows approaching the ruins of the fire. It should be Ali Tai and the others who entered the designated position. He turned around and said to the two soldiers: "The lieutenant is already in place, let's prepare to shoot. How about it, can we kill all the enemies in the first place?"

   "It's difficult." One of the soldiers shook his head and said in a low voice: "The five German soldiers are scattered widely. Even if we fire at the same time, it will be difficult to kill them all."

   The scout heard that he couldn't eliminate all the sentries immediately, which meant that he, who was in charge of bombing the tank, would be in danger. He stared at the sentinels walking back and forth for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and said to the soldiers: "You shoot and kill the enemy closest to the tank first, and I can rush out and throw Molotov cocktails. If you see any German soldiers who are going to shoot at me When you shoot, you give priority to killing him. Understand?"

   "Understood." Both soldiers nodded, and replied in unison: "We will ensure your safety."

   Seeing that the time is ripe, the scout nodded at the two soldiers, and decisively gave the order to shoot: "Fire!"

   Following the order, the two submachine guns rattled. In the silent night, the sound of gunfire was particularly deafening. Two unlucky German soldiers fell down immediately, and the remaining three soldiers quickly chose a hidden place to lie down on the spot and returned fire in the direction of the bullets.

   The scout jumped up from his hiding place and rushed towards the tank parked in front at a speed of 100 meters. Before the German sentry recovered his senses, he had already rushed to a distance of ten meters from the tank. When he raised his hand, a Molotov cocktail came out of his hand. After rolling a few times in the air, he fell on the tank body and shattered. As soon as the bottle was broken, the liquid contained in it immediately flowed around, and the white phosphorus inside immediately burned violently as soon as it saw the air. In less than five seconds, the entire tank was enveloped in flames.

   Seeing that a tank had been ignited, the scout was immediately encouraged, and he raised the second Molotov cocktail again and threw it out. It's a pity that the force was too strong this time, the Molotov cocktail flew directly above the tank, fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces, a German soldier hiding beside was splashed with countless gasoline, and immediately turned into a burning flame People, he jumped up from the ground, threw the weapon in his hand, and ran towards the distance, trying to find a place to extinguish the fire on his body.

  How could the two shooting fighters easily give up such an obvious target? They both aimed at the fireman at the same time and pulled the trigger fiercely. A moment later, Pyro, who had been shot several times in the body, fell headlong to the ground, lying there motionless, allowing the fire on his body to continue to burn. The scout took the opportunity to throw a third Molotov cocktail, this time it hit the tank's turret, and soon set the body on fire.

  The German soldiers who were warming up in the ruins had already begun to feel drowsy. When they heard the gunshots from the parked tanks, they hadn't reacted yet. When he saw that one of the tanks was on fire, the German commander, even if he was a fool, knew that he had been attacked by the Soviet army. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Russians, the Russians have come to attack you!" !"

  The soldiers who were dozing by the fire heard the officer's shout, and stood up from the fire one after another. With their weapons in hand, they were ready to rush to the tank parking place to reinforce the sentinels there. However, as soon as they stood up, there were several submachine guns firing beside them. The dense bullets immediately knocked down a dozen soldiers, and the rest quickly lay down and fired back indiscriminately in the direction of the bullets.

   But they had just fired a few shots when they were blown dizzy by the thrown grenades. In order to avoid the grenades, some soldiers ventured up from the ground and tried to find a safe place, but they were often knocked down by bullets flying from the darkness as soon as they got up.

  The battle here lasted less than ten minutes, and ended with the complete annihilation of the German army.

   After Gathering all the people, Alitai began to count the results of the battle, and found that his combat team had killed 31 German soldiers and blown up two tanks without any casualties. Seeing such a result, Ali Tai was naturally ecstatic, and he quickly ordered one of his soldiers: "Immediately fire the signal flare and tell other combat teams that our mission has been successfully completed."

Before departure, Alitai once told the team leaders of each combat team that once the mission is completed, a green flare will be fired into the air; if the mission fails, a white flare will be fired, and the nearby combat teams will rush over support. The soldiers who heard the order quickly fired a green flare into the air, telling the nearby combat teams and the tank brigade headquarters that their combat mission had been completed.

  Alitai's combat team carried out a sneak attack very smoothly, and the rest of the teams were no exception. They all successfully eliminated the German tanks and assault guns, as well as the German infantry guarding these technical equipment. However, not every team had zero casualties. In one of the teams, except for one wounded who escaped by chance, all the rest died.

  After seeing the six green flares appearing in the sky one after another, Ali Tai breathed a sigh of relief. He said to the soldiers in the combat team: "Comrades, our mission has been completed and we can go back."

   Just as he finished speaking, three red flares suddenly rose in the air. Ali Tai was dumbfounded when he saw the flare in the air: "What's going on, who fired the flare? What does the red flare mean?"
