  Chapter 126 Who says women are inferior to men (Part 2)

  The conversation between Sokov and Savyev was clearly heard by Belkin who was standing next to him. As soon as Sokov put down the phone, he couldn't wait to ask: "Comrade Battalion Commander, the enemy is trying to turn around from the west of the highland. What should we do?"

"The purpose of the Germans doing this is to seize the high ground guarded by the third company. While sending troops to detour, they will continue to attack the high ground." Sukov pointed to the map and said, "Therefore, I plan to Arrange Vanya's 1st company here to meet the enemies who turn around; while Andre's 2nd company is ready to reinforce the high ground at any time..."

  Belkin stared at the map for a while, and felt that Sokov's arrangement was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement: "Comrade Battalion Commander, I agree with your opinion, and I will issue orders to the companies."

  After assigning the task, Belkin asked Sokov about the situation of the female soldier company: "Comrade battalion commander, you just went to the air defense position. How is the situation there?"

Sokov shook his head and said bitterly: "Although the women's anti-aircraft machine gun company successfully shot down one enemy plane and injured one in the battle, their own casualties were not small. 27 people were killed or injured. , 12 soldiers died, and the company commander and instructor were also wounded."

   "What, both Liuba and Sveta are injured?" Sokov's words surprised Belkin, and he asked nervously, "Are they seriously injured? Can they still command the battle?"

Facing a series of questions from Belkin, Sokov replied unhurriedly: "Sveta was stunned by the aerial bomb and has been sent to the health team. His life is not in danger; and the company commander Liuba, too. They were severely injured by the earthquake, and their hearing was severely damaged. Since the two of them are temporarily unable to command the battle, I have appointed Lida, the third platoon leader, as the acting company commander."

"Lida?!" After Belkin repeated the name, he suddenly remembered who it was, "Is that the 'Nightingale' who sang "Little Road" and "Light" last night?" Seeing Sokov Nodding in affirmation, he asked with some concern: "Can such a delicate young female soldier take up such a responsibility?"

   "I think she is qualified for this position." Sokov replied in an affirmative tone.

   An hour later, the facts proved that Sokov's judgment was completely correct. The German troops who detoured to the unnamed high ground were stubbornly blocked by the third company. The soldiers blew up a German tank with cluster grenades. The destroyed tank burned on the narrow and simple road, blocking the way of the two tanks behind.

   But before the soldiers blew up the German tanks, the two half-tracked armored transport vehicles that opened the way in front, and more than 30 German infantry, passed through the fire blockade of the third company and rushed towards the rear of the high ground. Since the troops of the first company had not yet been deployed, this small force successfully detoured to the north of the high ground and rushed to the vicinity of the air defense position.

The sudden appearance of the German army threw the female soldiers who had never seen the Germans at close range into chaos. They screamed loudly and ran back and forth on the ground full of bomb craters, without thinking of hiding or opening. The guns fired, and watched as the two armored vehicles led a group of German soldiers towards their positions.

   "Da da da", the 7.92mm machine guns on the two armored vehicles began to shoot at the female soldiers running around, and several unlucky female soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Lida regained her composure after a short period of panic. Amidst the roar of German machine guns, she shouted at the top of her voice: "Girls, don't panic. Get into the fighting position immediately and destroy them."

  Lida quickly sat in front of the scope, skillfully manipulated the machine gun, pointed the muzzle at the German armored vehicle, and then slammed on the gun button. The 14.5mm armor-piercing projectile fired by the quadruple machine gun easily penetrated the shield of the German machine gun, tore the thin armor of the armored vehicle, and beat the commander and driver to a **** mess.

  The four German soldiers in the car saw that the situation was not good and wanted to jump out of the car immediately, but it was too late. Without armor plates to cover them, they all became the targets of Lida's shooting. Under the impact of large-caliber bullets, if they were lucky, they were only interrupted by the middle; White matter splashed on the armored body.

   The flustered female soldiers gradually regained their composure when they saw the German armored vehicle being destroyed by the anti-aircraft machine gun controlled by Lida. Some of them lay down in the crater and shot at the enemy behind the armored vehicle with the Mosin Nagant in their hands; some followed Lida's example, jumped on the anti-aircraft machine gun, sat in front of the scope, and pointed at the enemy armored vehicles or infantry strafing.

  The bullets fired by the three 14.5mm quadruple machine guns in the air defense position, like the sickle of death, crazily harvested the lives of German officers and soldiers. When Vanya arrived with a company of commanders and fighters, he saw only two burning armored vehicles in front of the air defense position, and dozens of mutilated German corpses.

When he learned that the air defense position was attacked, Sokov was frightened into a cold sweat. He was worried that dozens of young girls would not be able to stop the German soldiers who were armed to the teeth. The platoon hurried over.

  By the time they arrived at the air defense position, the battle was over. The **** smell on the battlefield, mixed with the diffuse gunpowder smoke, formed a disgusting mist near the anti-aircraft position, which irritated Sokov's eyes and throat with burning pain.

Lida came to Sokov's side, raised her hand to salute him, and reported: "Comrade Battalion Commander, Sergeant Lida, the acting company commander of the women's anti-aircraft machine gun company, reports to you that our company has successfully eliminated the intruders." Enemy. Please instruct!"

"Well done, Lida, you and your soldiers are doing well!" Sokov shook Lida's hand and said excitedly: "I will report the results you have achieved to the superiors, And apply for awards for all the commanders and fighters of your company."

   "Comrade Battalion Commander, leave this matter to me." Belgin's voice suddenly came from behind Sokov. He was worried that the female soldiers would not be able to stop the German attack, so he came here to take a look. Unexpectedly, the female soldiers had already wiped out the enemy cleanly.

Belkin walked up to Sokov and said with a smile: "The female soldiers performed very bravely in today's battle and achieved great results. I will immediately write a report to my superiors and apply for awards for them " He glanced at Lida, whose face was smeared black, and continued, "As for comrades like Sergeant Lida who have performed outstandingly, I think they should be awarded high-level medals."

"Did you hear that, girls?" Katya, who was standing in the crowd, said excitedly to the surrounding soldiers after hearing what Belkin said: "The deputy battalion commander wants to apply for awards for us, and there are even people who can To get a high-level medal. Great, that's great."

Sokov and Belkin were on their way back to the battalion command post. Belkin said to Sokov sincerely: "Comrade battalion commander, you are right. Who said that women are inferior to men. The performance of these female soldiers today, It proves that they are no worse than male soldiers on the battlefield."
