Anatoly opened the hatch, climbed out, and stood on top of the armored command vehicle. The next moment, he saw hundreds of German troops surrounding him in the center.
At this moment, Anatole knew that he must surrender today, otherwise he would die.
At this time, a German colonel walked out of the crowd. It was Merkel. Merkel was very happy when she saw Anatoly wearing the colonel's uniform. She thought that this time she captured a colonel alive. So, he said to Anatoly in imperfect Russian: "I am Merkel, colonel commander of the 168th Division of the German 6th Army. Colonel, you have been captured. Please hand over the weapons in your hands. I It can guarantee your life safety.”
Anatoly looked at Merkel with a contemptuous smile on his lips. At this moment, Anatoly thought of the day when he joined the army and was lucky enough to hear a speech by Budyonny, who is now a marshal.
Budyonny said in his speech: "A person's life must be meaningful, and dying for the motherland is the highest honor for a soldier."
Anatoly was thinking that he had completed the mission assigned by Xu Rui. Now he could be sure that the Germans had exposed all their firepower, and he had no regrets. In fact, when accepting this task, Anatoly Tory was ready to sacrifice.
Looking at Merkel, Anatoly couldn't help but laugh loudly. The laughter was so heroic. Suddenly, Anatoly pulled the two F1 lemon grenades on his waist...
"Oh God!" Anatole shouted when he saw Merkel, with a look of despair in his eyes.
"Death to the German devils! Long live the Soviets!"
Anatoly jumped forward suddenly, and the next moment, two loud noises were heard in succession, and the bodies of Anatoly and Merkel fell to the ground at the same time...
The smoke cleared and everything became quiet. On the top of a building, the telescope was put down. Leng Tiefeng's mood could not be calm for a long time. A hero has no regrets. Anatole's long laughter before his death echoed in his ears for a long time. , the heroes have gone, things have changed, Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but think, since ancient times, there has been no shortage of heroes in Russia. It is precisely because of thousands of heroes like Anatoly that they have supported this country with their backbones. The nation, this country, is the reason why this country continues to grow stronger.
The fighting nation is indeed not called for nothing.
"Have you recorded everything?" Leng Tiefeng's voice was very low, obviously he had not recovered from the tragic scene just now.
Han Feng said: "It's all recorded. The German army has a total of eleven anti-tank guns, sixteen anti-tank rifles at the front, and there are anti-tank mines on the ground. Except for the unknown anti-tank mines, the other anti-tank guns and I have recorded the positions of the anti-tank rifles one by one, and the Germans have twenty-three machine gun nests at the front, and I have also recorded them all.”
"Okay, our mission is completed. Next, it's time for the artillery." Leng Tiefeng took the walkie-talkie and said: "Old Xu, the mission is completed."
"Very good, Anatole has withdrawn, right?" Xu Rui asked.
"Anatole... and other comrades were sacrificed..."
There was silence on the walkie-talkie, and after a moment, Xu Rui's voice came from inside.
"I understand, veteran. Now you will direct the artillery through me to carry out a saturation attack on the German forward positions."
"yes!"
"Old Xu, please record the first target, bearing, 20 degrees west by north, distance 1,500 meters, test fire!"
A moment later, an artillery shell struck from a distance and hit the German positions, but it did not hit any German positions.
"Raise the muzzle five degrees, fire coverage!"
"yes!"
"Whoosh..."
Countless meteors pierced the sky and hit the German position. The next moment, the German position was overturned, and two anti-tank guns and four anti-tank rifles were blown into the sky.
"Nice shot. Now, move the muzzle 10 degrees to the left and fire!"
"Launch..."
"Launch..."
Following Leng Tiefeng's command, artillery shells continued to explode in the German positions. Most of the shells hit the target accurately, leaving the entire German forward position in a mess.
As the German forward positions continued to come under saturation attacks, the emplacements of anti-tank infantry guns, anti-tank rifles, machine gun nests, and mortars were blown up, turning the entire German forward positions into a complete hell on earth.
At this time, Xu Rui was very generous. Zhukov transferred 300 cannons to the Northern Line in one go. These cannons had just been transported to Moscow via railway and were sent directly to the battlefield.
As for the artillery shells, Xu Rui didn't begrudge them at all. The Soviets had plenty of artillery shells, so he just used them as hard as he could.
Three hundred cannons carried out a saturation attack, and its power was obvious. The entire German forward position completely turned into a sea of fire, a scene like hell on earth.
The anti-tank mines at the front of the position were also eliminated one by one during the bombing.
The bombardment lasted for a full twenty minutes. Within twenty minutes, thousands of artillery shells fell on the German forward positions on the northern front. This sudden bombardment completely disrupted the German offensive plan and the Germans were caught off guard.
After the shelling, more than a hundred Soviet tanks violently attacked the German positions in a massive force.
"go ahead!"
Zyuganov roared into the radio with incomparable grief and anger, and the tanks behind him let out earth-shattering roars.
"go ahead!"
Serov had also learned of the news of Anatoly's sacrifice and was furious.
"go ahead!"
Kirilenko marched forward bravely in a car with three thousand infantrymen. These infantrymen were still immersed in Xu Rui's fictional story of Katyusha. Each of them was full of resentment against the Germans and determined to defend their relatives and homeland with their lives.
In a tank that was driving ahead, the tank driver Nikolai said: "Matvey, the German position is in front of us, we must avenge Katyusha!"
The commander of the car, Matvey, said: "Nicholas, yes, we must defeat the German army and drive these beasts out of Moscow!"
Nikolai said: "Matvi, sing a song for us to make us more motivated."
Matvey said: "I just learned a new song a few days ago, and I just want to sing it to you!"
Matvey sang loudly: "Rise up, great country, and fight to the death to eliminate the evil forces of fascism and eliminate all evil bandits..."
Matvey's singing voice was bold and powerful, which inspired fighting spirit. Nicholas said, "Matvey, this song is really powerful. What's its name?"
"This song is called "Holy War." A few days ago, the Red Army Song and Dance Troupe came to perform at the Labor Army and sang this song."
Nikolai said: "Let me tell you, why is it so familiar? It sounds so good. This song will definitely spread throughout the Soviet Union in the future."
"Yes, it will definitely happen, comrades, move towards victory!" Matvey said.
"go ahead!"
Several crew members shouted in unison, the tanks rumbled, and they rushed towards the German positions.
Just as Xu Rui led the armored assault force to launch an attack on the German army, the German army also quickly organized after the shelling.
Under the saturation artillery attack by the Soviet army just now, the German army suffered huge losses. However, the German army quickly reacted. Cole, the commander of the 168th Division, immediately ordered to count the losses. Not long after, the losses were reported layer by layer. After the statistics, the entire division was Of the more than 4,000 men, a total of more than 1,000 were lost in the shelling just now, which also accounted for one-tenth of the strength of the 168th Division.
Cole was so angry that he came to Moscow and fought two battles. In the first battle, his 168th Division lost more than 3,000 people. In the second battle, which had just begun, he lost another more than 1,000 people, which made his original 17,000-odd people. A master of human beings now only has 10,000 or 3,000 people left, and the loss is not small.
"Report! General, the Soviets have launched an attack!" An officer came to report.
Cole said: "Organize immediately, launch a counterattack against the Soviet army, and attack the Soviet army with thunderous momentum!"
"What? Are we launching a counterattack?" The officer was stunned.
Cole said: "We all launched an attack. I want to see whether the Soviet attack is sharper or our attack is more violent! In a head-to-head confrontation, our 6th Army is the most powerful in the world. Even the Soviet Union Even human tanks cannot compete with us!"
"yes!"
The officer did not refute Cole. In the hearts of all the 6th Army officers, like Cole, they believed that they were the most powerful army in the world. In a head-on confrontation, no army could be their opponent. In this regard, the 6th Army Every officer and soldier of the group army has enough self-confidence.
Cole's order was quickly passed on, and tens of thousands of German troops immediately spread out in front of the line. The Germans also used tanks as the guide to launch an attack in the direction of the Soviet army.
At the same time, Xu Rui's armored assault troops also launched a massive attack on the German army. Two torrents of steel and charging soldiers continued to approach. Both sides of the war were not afraid of death and launched a violent attack on the other side. Rush in.
"Move towards victory!"
Xu Rui shouted at the on-board radio equipment, and more than a hundred tanks made loud rumbles, like mountains falling apart, and violently rushing forward.
"Commander, the Germans actually launched a counterattack against us!" Bao Donkey shouted while driving the tank.
"Damn it, the Germans are very courageous, so come on! Let's see who is better, they or us!"
The two torrents of steel were getting closer and closer, and the German troops on the opposite side were clearly visible. Xu Rui shouted: "Fire!"
The next moment, the Soviet T-34 tank roared loudly, and artillery shells exploded in the German formation.
"fire!"
At almost the same time, German tanks also launched an attack on Soviet tanks. Both sides fired thousands of guns. More than a hundred Soviet tanks and nearly a hundred German tanks continued to approach their opponents. A huge tank battle was about to take place. .
"Long live the Red Army!" Zyuganov shouted from inside the tank.
"Long live the Führer!" the German army shouted like a mountain roaring and a tsunami...
