Chapter 114: It’s a coincidence

It's pitch black in the mirror?

Lin En was stunned for a moment - the Soviet army must have done something when turning off all the searchlights, so he was shocked and climbed back to the bottom of the pit, snatched the assault rifle equipped with infrared searchlights and scopes from Tanze. Before he could remove the battery box, he directly dragged him and himself back to the front of the crater. Although the 17-year-old young soldier was confused and ignorant, he still shut his mouth with him.

Open the knob, lift the mp44 flat, and use the infrared telescope to look ahead - no Soviet soldiers came to touch it. Lin Neng then breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Tanze back to the bottom of the pit, then whispered in a low voice: "Sorry, Marcos, I thought the Russians were coming up!"

After Lynn's previous guidance, Private Tanze's nervousness had been reduced a lot, and he replied softly: "It's okay, sir!"

At this time, veteran Wolfrum murmured in a low voice: "Don't worry, the Russians won't leave the trenches!"

At first glance, Lin En quickly figured out the meaning behind this statement - is he accusing himself of rashly bringing everyone from establishment to this inexplicable place?

Although I really want to argue, such occasions are not the time to explain and communicate. Besides, some of the reasons cannot be said explicitly, so I have to pretend to be deaf and dumb. I asked Tanze to return the battery box and firearms to himself, and whisper to him: "I have the chance to teach you sniping skills!"

Tanze nodded, holding the Mauser sniper rifle in one hand, turned around and said softly to Tchimele: "Don't worry, it's okay!"

"oh!"

The voice of "Xiao Zhengta" still sounded a little trembling, and his hands were empty, and the "Bobosha" was gone.

Lin En was helpless and blamed him was useless. He simply returned to the wall of the pit alone, turned on the infrared night vision device again, raised the gun to a height flush with his head, slowly poked out the crater, and conducted a 360-degree omnidirectional observation cautiously and quickly.

Cease fire without finding and eliminating the attackers, shutting down the lights, what new tricks are the Soviet army on the opposite side?

Unable to be sure that this was a conspiracy by the Russians to lure him out, or the other two night battle groups that joined in the counterattack played some role, or for some other reason, Lin Neng had to continue to hide in the crater with his own combat team, listened carefully to the outside, and observed it with an infrared night vision device from time to time. After about ten minutes, a dense thunderstorm sound suddenly sounded in front of him. Such a majestic sound of cannons actually made the earth tremble slightly.

Lin En was stunned.

Of course, the Soviets would not use hundreds of cannons to deal with the German soldiers who destroyed the searchlights. Lin En raised his head and watched the Russian shells pass through the night sky like a meteor. In a blink of an eye, fires flashed in the distance, and it quickly shone into pieces, quickly illuminating the black night sky, and the airtight explosion sounded.

This is the prelude to the Soviet army launching a large-scale attack!

It is not difficult to judge the current situation. The difficult thing is to judge where you should go. Enter. The Soviet army's frontier trenches are probably full of soldiers who are on standby to attack. Going will definitely be a dead end. Retreat. After all, the fierce artillery fire has produced a certain degree of light. If you go out, you may be killed by the snipers in the Soviet trenches. Besides, both legs cannot escape the Soviet tanks. Stay? When the Soviet army launches an attack, the tanks and infantry pass here. Hehe, if you don't raise your hands to surrender, the fate will be nothing more than choosing between the hornet's nest, the meat mud and the large unloading blocks.

His eyes swept across the faces of the four soldiers under his command, and their expressions were different at this moment. Wolfrum's resentment, Graf's frustration, Tanze's fear, and Tchimeer's fear were all clearly visible on their respective faces.

Lynn paused his throat, and under the cover of the cannon, he was finally able to speak normally.

"Everyone, we are now in an unexpected situation. Obviously, the Soviet army is about to launch a counterattack on our defense! As your commander, I feel deeply sorry for this and have the responsibility to bear all the consequences..."

"I can't even save my life, what consequences will I bear!"

Veteran Wolfrum still expressed his unhappiness.

Seeing that the other three people, especially the two privates, fell into the Ice Valley, Lin En was a little annoyed - it was really uncomfortable to be confronted by his subordinates with cold words. But if you think from the perspective of others, it would be fine if you were directed by someone who was about the same age and qualifications as you, but you were also in danger because of this person's direct decision. No matter how good the temper is, you might have any objections!

Thinking of this, Lin En immediately adjusted his mind and said calmly: "Difficult is not equal to desperate situation!"

This is a proverb in "Daily German Conversations", which Lynn remembered firmly after reading, and it came in handy. Then the young commander said with a determined look on his face:

"You may not understand why I took the initiative to ask for battle from my superiors and brought you here! Look at that direction. Our position is under fierce artillery fire from the Soviets. How long do you think it can last? If we just wait in the city, when the Soviet army breaks through the defense and enters Oranin Fort, do you think how many Soviet soldiers can be wiped out with the ability of our twenty night battle groups? "

This obviously asked everyone present. With the current battlefield situation, there is no difference between the battle in or outside the city. They either die in battle or surrender. As for retreat, it is probably not up to you to decide whether there is a chance.

"Everyone, our current situation is indeed not very good, but we don't have to scare ourselves! Listening to this voice, the Soviet artillery fire may have extended to the city of Oranin Castle, and the place we were staying before may have now become ruins!"

These words finally calmed down the emotions of the four soldiers. Lynn took the opportunity to announce his decision to them: "Now whether we are moving forward or retreating, we will be exposed to the enemy's gun, and I will never let any of you die in vain. So, we will stay here, not go anywhere for the time being, adapt to the situation!"

Finally, Lynn thought for a while and added: "Guys, we are a complete battle group and brothers who depend on each other on the battlefield, and we must trust each other fully! Boost, Gordon, Anton, Marcos, Carl, cheer up!"

In the last sentence, Lin Neng roared in his voice with his fists, just like facing a football coach who was 0-3 behind on the field, encouraging his players with both voice and emotion.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had recovered and had no other opinions, Lin En lay back to the edge of the crater, first observed with a lens on his back, only seeing the flames flashing behind the Soviet position, then raised the mp44 in the same posture as before, and through the infrared telescope, he finally saw something new.

tank?

The infrared night vision device is only "interested" in objects that generate heat, and the hotter it becomes. The objects that Lynn observed are at the edge of the maximum observation distance of the "vampire", and look very blurry, like some bright balls floating in the sky, and their true form cannot be determined at all. There are many bright balls, and there is no single person to see around. The continuous sound of cannons seriously interferes with the hearing. So at first, Linn thought they were Soviet tanks that left the attack starting position in advance. When they were closer, he realized that except for a few tanks, the rest were wheeled cars.

Before the attack began, what was the situation when he got a wheeled vehicle in front? The armored vehicle or a truck that towed a short-range infantry cannon? Lynn was puzzled, but fortunately he was flexible enough to think, and was born and grew up in the country that had been equipped with imitation Su weapons for many years. Finally, he suddenly realized: Katyusha!

As the most common rocket launcher model in World War II and the largest equipped by the Soviet army at that time, the maximum range of the BM13 was 8.5 kilometers, which was far enough compared to infantry artillery, but it was still slightly worse than ordinary howitzers. Lin Neng calculated that it was nearly 10 kilometers from the German position to get here. In other words, if the Soviet "Katyusha" wanted to bombard the German position, he had to leave the original position and advance at least 1.5 kilometers!

If he had a radio, Linn was once again troubled by this hateful problem. Unfortunately, without wireless communication equipment, he could not be a fearless hero who called his artillery "fired fire at me", Linn had to think of it. And as those vehicles continued to approach, he began to be troubled by a new problem: If these vehicles were driving by head-on, how could he ensure that he was not discovered by the Soviet troops on tanks and trucks?

The question was answered soon. Under the combined effect of the rainy season and war, the fields here were full of potholes, and there were quite a few bullet craters near the Soviet positions, so the Soviet vehicles moved very slowly, but they finally moved with lights off. A "Katyusha" accidentally "stumbled" thirty or forty meters in front of Linn. The wheel on the right fell into a bullet crater. No matter how the engine roared, the body still remained motionless. Looking far away from the infrared

In the scope, Lynn saw several soldiers jumping out of the truck. Some of them were busy around the lost wheels, while others ran to the front to find tanks for help. Soon, a tank was back next to the truck, and the soldiers were busy tying steel ropes between the tanks and trucks. In this way, the vehicles that followed had to go around here - anyway, they needed to re-correct the shooting parameters after arriving at the launch position, and they didn't care about being left or right a few hundred meters.
