Chapter 170 Leading by Example (Part 2) On the way forward, although enemies appeared from both sides from time to time, they were all shot down by the soldiers who had been prepared. After a while, the troops led by Sokov rushed to the square in front of the church. There are two sandbag fortifications in front of the church, and two machine guns are firing crazily inside. The intensive firepower blocked the way for the soldiers to charge. The oncoming bullet rain caused many soldiers to fall directly on the square as soon as their bodies softened. Seeing that the German firepower was too fierce, Sokov continued to charge forward, only to die, so he shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Hide, hide!" After shouting, Sokov and Oleg included. The seven or eight fighters inside hurriedly hid behind a huge onion roof. According to Sokov's judgment, the roof should have been blown down by artillery fire, and it happened to land on the square, which coincidentally became his hiding place. Oleg quickly poked his head out from behind the roof, then immediately retracted, and said with some annoyance: "Comrade Battalion Commander, the Germans' firepower is too strong. If we don't kill their machine guns, we won't be able to rush through." When Oleg was talking, Sokov stared straight at the onion roof in front of him. He touched the golden decoration on the surface with his hands and cried in his heart: "My God, the sticker on it is really Gold leaf." He remembered that when the Moscow Cathedral was rebuilt in 1995, the onion roofs on the top were covered with gold leaf weighing 400 kilograms. Although the gold leaf on the onion roof in front of him could not be compared with the cathedral, it was more than ten kilograms Always. Sokov was so preoccupied with thinking about how to remove the gold foil pasted on the roof that he didn't even hear Oleg talking to him. After Oleg finished speaking, he didn't hear Sokov, so he quickly turned his head and found that his battalion commander was staring at the gold leaf on the roof in a daze. He hastily raised his hand and lightly pushed Sokov on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Battalion Commander, did you hear me?" "What did you say?" Sokov reluctantly moved his eyes away from the gold foil in front of him, looked at Oleg and asked: "Sergeant Oleg, I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't hear what you said. Repeat?" "Comrade Battalion Commander," Oleg pretended not to see Sokov's greedy eyes when he was staring at the gold leaf on the roof, and repeated what he had just said: "The enemy's firepower is too strong, we can't rush through it at all." Sokov waited for Oleg to finish speaking, and quickly poked his head out, glanced in the direction of the church, then retracted his head, and said to Oleg: "The German machine guns are too powerful. If we forcefully charge You will suffer a lot. You immediately send someone to the back to bring in two machine guns, and cooperate with the sharpshooters in the security squad to eliminate the enemies at the church gate." When Oleg left his hiding place and bent down to go back along the street to find the machine gun, Sokov looked around and saw that none of the soldiers rushed forward in the face of the enemy's bullets. Instead, they squatted or lay down and hid behind the ruins, stretched out the gun in their hands from time to time, and fired two shots at the position where the German machine guns were fired.
However, a soldier squatting next to Sokov was obviously impatient. He heard the sound of guns and artillery in the town, and shouted at Sokov: "Comrade major, the Germans only have two machine guns." , why don't we keep going forward." "From our hiding place to the entrance of the church, there is a distance of 50 to 60 meters, and there is no shelter and open space. If we charge at this time, don't we die?" Although Sokov could see that the soldier who spoke was not Yi Si The Traying man still had a stern tone and said to him: "Be well concealed. When it's time to attack, I will naturally let you attack." But the soldier obviously didn't listen to Sukov's words. He said stubbornly: "I came here to destroy the gangsters, not to hide behind the ruins and be a coward. If you don't charge, let me alone." Rush over to destroy the enemy." After speaking, he stood up straight, ready to rush out from behind the roof. As soon as the soldier stood up, Sokov heard a series of machine gun bullets hitting the roof, he couldn't help but thumped, and said in his heart: "It's over, my gold leaf, I don't know how many gold leaves have been shot by the Germans in these few shots." Rotten." While he was thinking this way, he suddenly saw the soldier spread his arms, fell on his back to the ground, and threw the submachine gun in his hand far away. Sokov quickly squatted down and came to the soldier, and found that his shoulder and head had been hit by at least seven or eight bullets, and he could not be saved. He reached for the submachine gun that had fallen beside him, and unexpectedly found that it was a Popov submachine gun with a capacity of 71 rounds. "This is a good thing." Sukov has always wanted to have a Popov submachine gun since he came to this time and space. However, due to the low output at that time, only a small number of troops were equipped, and none of the illustrious Guards Division was equipped. qualifications, not to mention his newly formed army. He took off the rucksack from the soldier's body, opened it, and found that besides two grenades, there were three round drums inside. He hurriedly returned to the roof with his rucksack, and squatted there patiently waiting for Oleg's reinforcements. While Sokov was waiting a little anxiously, he suddenly heard a bang, and the sound of the German machine guns firing wildly suddenly weakened. Sokov looked out curiously, and saw that the sandbag fortification on the left side of the gate had been overturned, and the machine gun and machine gunner inside had been blown to pieces. "What's going on here?" Sokov squatted down again, wondering, "Where did the gun fire?" At this moment, there was another explosion, and the German machine guns were completely dumb. Before Sokov looked up to see the movement in the direction of the church, he vaguely heard someone calling him behind him. He turned his head and saw Oleg dancing towards him on the street more than a hundred meters away. A cannon stands in the ruins next to it. "Bayonet on the cannon?!" Sokov looked at the cannon that was still smoking from the muzzle, and this thought flashed through his mind. In particular, among the people standing next to the artillery, there is Sergeyev, the commander of the cannon company. The most threatening machine gun of the German army has been killed by artillery. Sokov stood up suddenly, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and shouted: "Comrades, for the motherland! For Stalin! Follow me~!" Seeing Sokov leading the charge gave the soldiers hidden behind the ruins great courage. They stood up one after another, stepped over the bricks and rubble in front of them, and rushed forward following Sokov without hesitation. (end of this chapter)
