Chapter 529 Fighting wits and courage
I go…
Shuerka stared blankly at the second lieutenant in front of him, who turned out to be Vasily, the sniper Vasily who became famous in Stalingrad.
"What's the matter, Captain?" Vasily asked seeing that Shulka's expression was a little off.
"Oh, nothing!" Shulka replied: "You are Vasily?"
"Of course!" Vasily asked suspiciously, "Do we know each other?"
"Oh, no, I just... heard about you!" Shulka was a little uneasy, after all, this guy is almost a deified hero in modern times.
"Have heard of me? This is impossible!" Vasily laughed: "You must have remembered it wrong, or someone else has the same name as me!"
"Maybe!" Shulka suddenly realized that Vasily had just joined the battle and hadn't become famous yet, so of course Shulka couldn't have heard of him.
"May I know your name, Captain?" Vasily asked: "So I know who I lost!"
"Don't take it to heart!" Shulka said: "This is not a fair match!"
Shulka is not self-effacing, because this is a hand-to-hand fight with a sniper. If it starts from a long distance, Shulka is not necessarily Vasily's opponent.
"No, Captain!" Vasily said: "Any duel on the battlefield is fair! So I can only rejoice that you are not the enemy!"
Shuerka nodded, the fact is indeed the case, the battlefield is like this, if you lose, you lose, if you win, you win, there is no if and there is no "unfairness", even it will not have another chance.
"My name is Shulka!"
Vassily's eyes lit up instantly, and it was difficult to speak: "You are...comrade Shulka? 'Breakthrough hero'?"
"Yes!" Shulka replied.
Before they could continue talking, there was the roar of shells in the sky... The German army already knew that Mamayev Gang had fallen.
Edmund did know that Mamayev Gang had fallen, although no one told them.
At that time, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund was still commanding the troops to storm the cemetery with Lieutenant Colonel Bauer.
In order to speed up, Lieutenant Colonel Edmond also changed his tactics.
They assaulted from the road with a couple of assault guns... Assault guns couldn't actually provide cover for the Germans in this situation, Lieutenant Colonel Edmund certainly knew that.
But he did it anyway.
He didn't do this to provide cover, but to trick the Soviet bazooka shooter hidden in the coffin.
As the saying goes, "The magic is as high as one foot and the road is as high as one foot", no tactic will be perfect, as long as you put in a little thought, you can find a corresponding way to deal with it.
Edmond found this tactic.
In fact, it was Lieutenant Colonel Bauer's suggestion.
"If we're sure the enemy bazooka shooters are hiding in coffins!" Lieutenant Colonel Ball said, "then why don't we find them and eliminate them?"
"The problem is how do we find them!" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund raised his head towards the cemetery: "Look at them, there are countless graves, we don't even know where they are hidden, unless we can dig them up each tomb and open the coffin inside!"
"We don't need to do this, Lieutenant Colonel Edmond!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer replied in the affirmative.
Lieutenant Colonel Bauer was right, he thought of a simple and practical solution.
"If the enemy is hiding in the shadows, why don't we hide ourselves?" Lt. Col. Ball said, "Then, they're targeting the tanks, and we're targeting them!"
This is the so-called "mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind".
Lieutenant Colonel Edmund immediately handed over this aspect to Lieutenant Colonel Ball, while he himself concentrated on directing the attack on the cemetery.
Lieutenant Colonel Bauer did not disappoint Lieutenant Colonel Edmond.
The plan is actually very simple. Lieutenant Colonel Bauer first deployed a company on both sides of the road... In fact, there is no need for so many people, but the strength of the German army is not a problem, at least in the direction of the cemetery. They are all blocked You can't pass here, so invest as much as you can.
The troops of these two companies were scattered and hidden in the cemetery, digging individual cover, camouflage, etc.
Then, several assault guns "rumbled" onto the road, and they even fired into the area controlled by the Soviet army, pretending to provide fire cover.
The Soviet commander who commanded the cemetery operations was Valery, who was inexperienced and he was fooled... Valery couldn't even tell the difference between a tank and an assault gun.
So, Valery immediately ordered the bazooka shooter to attack.
Not surprisingly, as soon as the Soviet bazooka shooter got out of the coffin, he was immediately discovered by the German infantry hiding outside.
As a result, needless to say, more than a dozen bazooka shooters fell in a pool of blood. The Germans even captured several complete bazookas and handed them over to Lieutenant Colonel Bauer.
"Unbelievable!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer sighed while weighing the rocket launcher: "It is such a thing that can destroy our tanks!"
"Now is not the time to lament this, Lieutenant Colonel!" Edmund reminded on the other side: "I will send it up to the scientists for research. The focus now is the cemetery, the cemetery!"
"No, Lieutenant Colonel Edmond!" Lieutenant Colonel Ball replied: "I believe it is not the point!"
"What?" Lieutenant Colonel Edmund didn't understand what Lieutenant Colonel Bauer meant.
"The enemy's defense is very weak!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer put the bazooka aside casually, and said, "This is not normal. You must know that he is a 'breakout hero'. Do you believe that he will be defeated so easily by us?"
"you mean…"
"I believe that their main force has turned to the direction of Mamayev Post!" Lieutenant Colonel Bauer said: "The people they stay here are just delaying time!"
Lieutenant Colonel Edmund couldn't help being taken aback: "I must warn Mamayev Gang immediately!"
Lieutenant Colonel Bauer shook his head and said, "It's too late, Lieutenant Colonel!"
Sure enough, it was too late, because Lieutenant Colonel Edmund had lost contact with Mamayev Gang.
Then, the Soviet army stationed in the cemetery disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of mines and barbed wire... The goal of the Soviet army is Mamayev Hill, if Mamayev Hill has been captured , then the cemetery loses its meaning.
Edmond could only report the situation to his superiors.
Major General Andreas seems to know that this will be the result... As time goes by, the possibility of holding Mamayev Post is also decreasing minute by minute.
"I will let the artillery support you!" Major General Andreas said: "At all costs, take back Mamayev Gang!"
"Yes, General!"
