Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road: Chapter 700 Snow Night of 1942
Chapter 700 The Snowy Night of 1942
"So the company commander pulled the troops out of the frontline trenches as you suggested?" Victor wondered.
"Isn't he stupid, waiting for the Germans to bombard indiscriminately in the ice and snow?"
"Oh, will we go back after we blow up?"
"Definitely, as the last force to stop the German armored forces, we must cherish the big treasure KV2 more. It can't be done, the infantry brothers can't stop the German armored forces at all."
"By the way, why don't the Chinese attack or detour from other places?"
"This is a forest area. You and I have been in the vicinity. You know that the surrounding area is full of rivers and swamps. Even in the winter, it is still difficult for the mechanized army to pass smoothly. Only the dirt road we guard is the only fast road."
Lu Fei shook his head after speaking. He was familiar with the history of World War II.
In the Battle of Rzhev, the 33rd Army Group was divided and surrounded, and the entire army was wiped out in the battle until April!
If we can block the German attack for a longer time now, I wonder if we can create a miracle and let most of the troops stand out.
As for them, they have a mission in the first place, and it is a question whether they can be captured alive or not.
Whether can survive after being captured is also a question.
These are two similar but equally troubling questions.
Before his headache was over, the cannonades in the direction of the trenches outside the village continued one after another.
"The people of the country are so arrogant, and the shells seem like they don't need money. It's really shocking..." Ivan said halfway, the brothers only saw his mouth moving, but couldn't hear what he said.
Although it looks weird, it is a common scene on the battlefield. The sound of German artillery shelling overwhelms all the sounds.
Lu Fei beckoned to Ivan, and when he came over, he stepped on him and climbed up the 20-meter-high pine tree beside him with his hands and feet.
In Lu Fei's telescope, the trenches like scars in the broad snow on the battlefield are being ravaged, destroyed and changed by artillery shells! Countless white snow, black soil, and debris were thrown into the sky.
This situation destroys the sky and the earth, making people feel fear and helplessness.
The shelling is still going on endlessly, and many buildings in the village have been affected, many tall and strong houses have been destroyed, and ruins are quickly being created.
Lu Fei quickly slipped down, his face heavy.
Yegor shrugged, ran into the tank and fumbled for a long time, and took out a bottle of German whiskey and two glasses.
"Captain, drink! If you die, you will die. Drink first!" Yegor shouted into his ear.
"That's right! I'm afraid, when the artillery bombardment of the country devils stops, we will go up and beat them!"
The other brothers couldn't hear what the two of them were shouting and roaring, and only saw the wine.
And it looks like it should be a good wine.
Listening to the deafening sound of the cannons, the red sausage and the smoke in the air, the KV brothers drank and ate with great heart, without any psychological barriers.
The big battles have been fought countless times, and the heavy artillery washing is just a routine operation.
They were at ease, while the Soviet soldiers in the trenches of World War II had a different mood.
The louder the cannon and the harder the bombing, the luckier the soldiers were.
The smart company commander is really powerful. If he doesn't withdraw, he will be lucky if he can even have 20 people left under the indiscriminate bombardment.
They didn't know that the company commander sweated more than the soldiers, and they admired Comrade Vladimir at the same time.
After a full hour, the shelling slowly stopped.
The whistle of beep sounded, and a large number of Soviet soldiers jumped out of the second-line trenches and ran westward under the leadership of commanders and fighters at all levels. They want to get into the trenches on the west side of the village as soon as possible.
"Everyone got in the car, we have to act."
"I really don't know what kind of fierce battle is waiting for us. These Chinese people are really cruel. They don't rest even after dark."
"Don't complain, Victor, we have food and drink and KV2 to block shells, which is already very good."
"Okay, you pull me, my feet are numb."
KV2 started slowly, following the Soviet soldiers to the village entrance.
Soon the tanks were full of Soviet soldiers with inconvenient legs, and everyone was freezing in the snow.
When they reached the entrance of the village, the soldiers had entered the dilapidated trenches and began to quickly dig through and repair the trenches.
The night has come quietly.
Lu Fei directed his men to drive the KV2 into a huge crater, ready to shoot.
The first wait was an hour, and the expected follow-up attack by the German army did not happen.
After staying in KV2 for a long time, it was stuffy and cold. Lu Fei used the infrared telescope to observe the grove at the farthest point of the battlefield, as well as the empty snow on both sides, and shook his head.
"Brothers, come out. The people of the country let our pigeons go."
"What do you mean? Dove? You mean flying dove?"
"It doesn't matter, hey, why is it you again!
Yegor, you are so long-winded, be careful that I will fire you and let you be an infantryman and go hand-to-hand with the Chinese. "
"Let him go now. In such a cold day, you are still in the mood to care about pigeons."
"I'm just hungry."
The brothers crawled out of KV2 laughing and joking, and walked towards the village under the leadership of Lu Fei.
The company commander also led a few people to the village with a sad face.
On the road, the company commander saw Lu Fei and greeted him enthusiastically. The two chatted with each other shoulder to shoulder.
"Comrade Vladimir, although the German attack you said did not come as scheduled, the artillery bombardment was accurate."
"The muzzle is easy to adjust, and the troops are not so easy to assemble. The German army was defeated by an armored battalion, and it was not so fast to move the troops up from the rear. Maybe this is the reason why the German army did not launch an attack."
"I don't care what the reason is, it's good to be able to endure for an extra second. The regimental headquarters called and after listening to the report, they praised our fighting spirit and fearless spirit. The supervising team and political commissar who were supposed to be sent were not sent."
"What instructions does the regiment have? What's the latest news."
"Leader, let us stand up! The army group is desperately attacking the German encirclement, and it seems that a narrow passage has been opened."
"That means your regiment is the rear troop? We are the regiment's rear troop?" Lu Fei seemed to understand something.
"I don't know. He didn't tell me."
"You are a simple man! I tell you, we are dead!"
"No, although the regiment commander told us not to withdraw, but we will be able to run away once the large troop withdraws."
"Who told you? If we dare to withdraw from the village before we receive the order, I can guarantee that the machine guns of the regimental commander will send us to see Comrade Lenin, and of course to meet Satan.
And there is a good chance that the retreat order will not wait, because the Chinese will soon come up like the raging tide of the sea and drown us. "
"Although I'm willing to die for the Soviets, I might touch a woman's **** while I'm alive. I'd better think of a way before I die. Comrade Vladimir, at first glance, you're cunning. Bah, you're a seasoned veteran. What advice do you have?"
"Flexible use of terrain and weather reduces casualties, and retains vitality in case you have the strength to open the gap later!
The weather is cold and dark now. I am a German, and I will definitely carry out a sneak attack. The cost is low and the price is small. They must want to penetrate the defense line tonight. "
"Then we will set up firepower and fight them to the end!"
"Your mind is full of trench warfare ideas from World War I, and it's outdated. I have an idea, take some risks and make a big profit, dare to do it?" Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
The company commander with thick eyebrows and big eyes was fooled by his appearance of a magician, and nodded again and again, asking for advice humbly.
"We do this..."
"The risk is a bit high. What if there is a problem with the machine gun crew and the German army breaks through the front line in one go?" The company commander shook his head with a bitter face.
"This is a war! How can we be sure? If we wait in the trenches for the Germans to come, not to mention whether we will be touched by the Germans in the dark, but the reality is that the soldiers can withstand the extreme cold of minus 30 to 40 degrees in the wild. ?"
"That's right, if you keep guarding in the trenches, it is estimated that half of the soldiers will freeze to death by dawn. Slam! Okay, let's do it like this. Later, you will teach me how to set up an inverted triangle enhanced trap."
The company commander slapped his thigh and made up his mind.
Then the Soviet troops in the trenches were called back to the village in large numbers, leaving only two machine gun groups to work in the trenches for a while.
The company commander even brought in the corpses of the fallen Soviet soldiers and made him lie on the ground with a gun forward.
KV2 also retreated to the depths of the village, hiding a huge figure.
The night is getting deeper and the temperature is getting lower and lower.
KV2 stopped in the middle of the dirt road in the village. The brothers were walking back and forth in the alley on the side of the village. It was freezing at night.
Even if there is vodka to support it, it is almost dead.
The brothers even have hoarfrost on their eyebrows.
"Captain, when are the country devils going to touch me? If they don't come, wouldn't we be frozen in vain?" Valery sat on the back of the car's engine casing, using the residual heat to keep warm.
"I'm just guessing everything." Lu Fei shrugged and lowered his head to smoke a cigarette.
The battlefield in front is still one kilometer away from here, and they are hiding in the alley again, so they are not afraid of finding out if they smoke.
"Ah, your guess has made countless people fearful while freezing! It's too unkind."
"Valery, you know a shit. Every time the captain says guessing, he is actually humble. People with Chinese faces say they don't know or don't understand. You have to understand it the other way around!"
"So profound? Well, that's your brother-in-law, you have a say."
"Stop arguing, who has sausages, hungry!"
"Victor, you rice bucket! You really waste food. I didn't come before, why didn't you starve to death!" Lu Fei scolded and threw a can to him.
"My stomach can stretch and flex. When you didn't come, I gave Kate half a slice of bread every day."
"It's not to satisfy your beastly desires! People are already so thin, you are still trying to make people's ideas, what a beast." Yegor spouted jealously.
"That's internationalism! That's love!"
"Stop beeping, there are people here, cheer up!" Ivan, who was standing guard, turned his head and said softly.
A Soviet orderer came running from the road against the wall.
"Comrade Vladimir, the Germans have appeared! We found a large number of German soldiers crawling over from the snow! But many of them were wearing black uniforms, and the black things were squirming on the snow, which was too conspicuous."
"Understood, we will launch KV2 right away. You might as well talk and smoke in your village house. If there is no sound at all, the Germans will be suspicious."
"Understood, is it still the whistle?"
"Yes, as soon as you blow your whistle, our KV2 will drive to the head of the village."
