Red Moscow

  Chapter 234 Offense (6)

Golia, who had been authorized by Sokov, led several soldiers from the Second Battalion without hesitation, bent down and ran to Ajik's hiding place, and then announced to him: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, because of your seriousness in the battle The wrong command caused huge casualties in the third battalion. The division commander has dismissed you, and I will take over your command."

"It's impossible!" Hearing what Golia said, Ajik immediately roared: "Even if the division commander wants to dismiss me, he will send someone from the division to take over my command. How could it be possible for you to take command? The division commander knows you Does this person exist?"

"I said it was the commander's order, so naturally it is the commander's order. If you want to hear an explanation, you will hear it when you see the commander." Goliath said, shaking his head towards the soldiers behind him , commanded him: "Disarm Comrade Lieutenant Colonel and **** him to the division headquarters."

  Several soldiers squatting beside Ajik saw that Golia's men were about to forcibly disarm Ajik, so they raised their guns one after another, pointing their black muzzles at each other. The soldiers of the second battalion were not to be outdone, and also raised their guns.

Seeing that the two sides were at war, and there was a possibility of a fight at any time, Ajik quickly stood up, waved his hands at the soldiers behind him, and ordered: "Put down your guns." After both sides put down their guns, Ajik handed over his pistols When it was in Goliath's hands, he said coldly, "Comrade Major, please send someone to take me to the division headquarters."

  Golia took Ajik's pistol, stuck it in his belt, and then called two soldiers to order: "You send Comrade Lieutenant Colonel to the division headquarters."

  Golia, who took over the command, immediately ordered his subordinates after Ajik was taken away: "Put the machine gun here, suppress the enemy with firepower, and cover our soldiers to rush forward."

  As the order was issued, several light and heavy machine guns were immediately mounted on both sides of the street, firing at the exposed German firepower points. At the same time, under the cover of machine guns, the commanders and fighters of the Second Battalion also charged along the streets full of corpses of their comrades. However, they no longer huddled side by side and launched a suicidal charge against the fierce enemy fire, but in groups of three or four, using the buildings on both sides of the street or the corpses of their comrades on the street, to move towards the German army step by step. The location is close.

  Compared with the 1139th regiment, the two battalions led by Bindasov went much smoother. As early as the attack a few hours ago, Bindasov saw the benefits of infantry and tank coordination in street fighting, so he followed suit, using infantry and tanks to cover each other and marched north of the city.

  This time, half of the three squads of soldiers accompanying the tanks were equipped with new assault rifles. They marched along the street with firm steps, and watched the buildings on the left and right of the street with vigilant eyes. Once they saw German soldiers sticking their heads out of the windows, they shot decisively.

  The assault rifles in their hands have the same range as rifles, and can fire continuously like submachine guns. Most of the German soldiers hiding in the building were equipped with bolt-type Mauser rifles. If they missed the target, they had to pull the bolt immediately before they could shoot a second time. And the soldiers with assault rifles on the street would naturally not give them another chance to shoot. As soon as they found a target, they would shoot them into a sieve in an instant.

Seeing that his troops were struggling in the north of the city, Mamendorf stomped his feet anxiously in the temporary headquarters. At this moment, a staff officer ran over and reported to him: "Comrade commander, the troops of the 97th Division have entered In the city."

"Great, this is really great." Hearing what the staff said, Mamendov immediately beamed with joy, and quickly asked, "Is Colonel Semiyalit leading the team himself?" Seeing the staff nodding in affirmation, he asked again Add, "Where is he?"

  The staff officer quickly replied: "He is coming towards us with a few people."

"A lot of buildings here were destroyed by artillery fire during the battle. Colonel Semyalit may not be able to find us here. You go and bring him here." Mamendorf just finished speaking. , I must feel that something is wrong, and quickly said: "Forget it, I'd better go out and greet him in person."

   After Mamendorf finished speaking, he hurriedly left his temporary headquarters with his staff and two guards, and went outside to meet Semyalit and his party. Not far from the headquarters, Mamendorf saw a group of people walking quickly through the ruins in the distance. The soldier wearing a helmet walking in the front was the commander of the 97th Division, Semyalit.

Mamendov greeted him quickly, and took Semyalit and his subordinates to the next hut. Then he held each other's hand and said excitedly: "Comrade Colonel, thank you for coming to support. I believe there are With your help, we can crush the German defenses in the north of the city in the shortest possible time."

Semiyalit looked at Mamendorf, whose face was blackened by gunpowder smoke, and said to him: "Colonel Mamendorf, the army commander told me before I set off that in order to cooperate with us in smashing the German army's attack in the north of the city, Defensively, the troops of the 31st Guards Division have begun to move to the north of the city. What we need to do now is to get in touch with them as soon as possible, and attack the enemy standing in the north of the city from inside and outside.”

Although Mamendorf's heart is still brooding over the fact that the 31st Guards Division was able to achieve great results in a very short period of time, but at this moment he understands very well that if he does not cooperate with Sokov's troops However, even if I and the troops of the 97th Division broke through the German defenses and rushed to the city center, they would pay a heavy price. So he nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, I will get in touch with the 31st Guards Division as soon as possible."

   Just as he ordered the operator to contact Sokov's division headquarters, cheers suddenly came from outside the window. "What's going on here?" Since Mamendorf was not staying in his headquarters, he couldn't know what happened outside in time, so he ordered the staff standing aside: "Go and see what happened. "

  The staff officer rushed back in less than two minutes after going out, and reported emotionally: "Report to Comrade Commander, friendly army, our friendly army is here!"

"Friendly army?!" After repeating the word, Mamendorff glanced at Semyalit, and said to himself that the commander of the friendly army is right in front of him. What is there to be excited about when you see the friendly army appearing? . So he said to the staff with a displeased face: "Comrade staff, don't forget that you are an officer, you must know how to control your emotions, and don't be surprised by everything."

When Mamendorf criticized his subordinates, Semyalit, who was standing next to him, suddenly thought of a possibility. He immediately widened his eyes and asked the staff nervously: "Comrade staff, what did you just say? Friendly troops? Could it be the city?" Are the friendly troops coming from the center?"

  The staff officer waited for Semiyalit to finish speaking, and immediately nodded his head and said: "Yes, Comrade Colonel, the troops of the 31st Guards Division have broken through the German defense in the north of the city and joined forces with our troops."

"Our troops have joined forces with the friendly army?!" As soon as the staff officer said, it was Mamendorf's turn to be dumbfounded. Come out of the city and join our attacking force, right?"

   "Exactly right, Comrade Division Commander." The staff officer replied with a smile on his face: "Under the cover of tanks, the troops of the 31st Guards Division broke through the German defense line on the street and joined forces with our offensive troops."

"It's really great to meet up." After Mamendov murmured this sentence, he suddenly looked at the emotional staff officer and said, "Comrade staff, since you know that you have joined forces, what are you still doing standing here?" , Hurry up and take us to meet the commander of the friendly army."
