Chapter 1807: I laughed to death on the spot

"Each vehicle crew stepped up their attack and headed towards the hillside! The enemy's defense line has collapsed. Victory belongs to the Red Army!"

The IS6 heavy tank group that penetrated the German defense line carried the infantry and ran rampant on the German position down the slope, which was not very deep. read

Kulbalov, who was in charge of leading the team, held a radio transmitter in his hand and gave orders in a roaring voice. The vanguard reconnaissance troops sent out had already rushed to higher and further positions on the slope, but they were just one team. The small team and troops are small and urgently need reinforcements from the follow-up large forces.

The current battle was a race against time, and Kurbalov knew that he had no extra time to continue to struggle with the remaining German soldiers who only had three cats and three dogs. The top priority is to push the large troops up the hill as quickly as possible. Everything else can be put aside first and discussed later.

"Comrade leader, on the top of the slope, look at the top of the slope!"

That is to say, at the moment when Kulbalov was busy directing the troops to rush upward, a rapid radio sound suddenly reached his ears and echoed in his mind.

Kulbalov, who was busy directing the battle, had been paying attention to the battlefield situation and had no time to care about what happened on the top of the slope. However, after such a sudden reminder, Kulbalov, who subconsciously looked around, directly turned his gaze The focus converged on the top of the slope, and the scene that happened at that commanding heights immediately jumped into view.

“That’s a smoke bomb???”

A white-smoking thing hung in the sky just above the slope like a meteor falling from the sky. It was very conspicuous when it smoked for a long time and still failed to fall.

Although it was broad daylight, Kulbalov's current position was facing away from the sun. The cloudless blue sky background made this smoke bomb with white smoke extremely conspicuous. If it were still If you say you can't see, then you are really no different from being blind.

"Smoke bombs? Who would shoot smoke bombs into the sky???"

Kulbalov's subconscious reaction was that this situation was abnormal and something was wrong, but what exactly was wrong was something that could only be felt but could not be expressed in words. An indescribable feeling lingered in his heart, and the smoke suddenly appeared. It's really unreasonable to play.

That is to say, at the moment when Kulbalov was wondering why the smoke bomb suddenly appeared, an unexpected situation happened immediately afterwards.

Whoosh-whoosh--

Two more identical white smoke bombs were fired into the air, hanging halfway on the sky background on the top of the slope.

Without any prior planning or agreement, it’s as sudden as a hundred-dollar bill popping out from under your feet while you’re walking halfway. What does it mean when three smoke bombs suddenly rise in succession? This is an urgent question that Kulbalov must give himself an answer as soon as possible.

"Comrade leader, two more smoke grenades have been fired! What happened over there?"

At the foot of the hillside, a large group of troops was clearing out the remnants of the German positions and preparing for a deep breakthrough. No one knew what these three smoke grenades meant, not even the regiment leader Kulbalov himself.

But there is always an intuition in the dark, which tells Kulbalov that there may not be something simple behind those three smoke bombs that hit the sky continuously.

Who would put smoke bombs into the sky when they have nothing to do? Obviously, the height reached cannot be achieved by hand-thrown conventional smoke grenades, and mortar-fired smoke grenades cannot achieve this effect. This leaves only one possibility: someone deliberately shot this. Smoke bombs were released into the sky, and some kind of launcher or other device was used, perhaps to achieve an immediate effect like a signal flare.

Enemy or one of our own? A signal for help or a trap?

No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. If you want to find out the result and truth, there is only one simple way available.

Rush up and see with your own eyes to find out the truth.

"The forward vehicle crews quickly disengage from the enemy and leave it to us to handle this. Go at full speed towards the signal point on the top of the mountain! Keep the radio open and tell me what happened as soon as you get there!"

There were not many German infantry remaining on the position, but even though the position had been torn open, they were still resisting and unwilling to surrender immediately.

It would take at least a few minutes or ten minutes to deal with the remaining German infantry who were in the way and looking for death. Under such conditions, Kulbalov could only divide his troops again, clearing the remaining enemies along the way and heading towards the top of the slope on the other side.

You can't just ignore or turn a blind eye to the enemies in the crossfire in front of you. If you let them go, you don't know if these crippled bastards will catch up and beat you in the back. No one wants to leave a safety hazard behind them that could explode at any time, and the same goes for Kulbalov. Splitting the troops into two groups is the most effective and most helpless option at the moment.

That is when Kulbalov mobilized his vanguard troops to break away from the enemy and began to march in the opposite direction towards the top of the slope at full speed.

Under the slope on the other side, in a lowland ravine, a German armored captain who was busy directing his troops to prepare for evacuation was listening to an emergency report that made him wide-eyed and extremely shocked.

"Captain Bockman, it's bad! Three smoke grenades suddenly rose from the top of the southern slope. The sentries we deployed on the top of the slope have been withdrawn. They were not fired by our people!"

"What did you say!? Smoke bomb???"

Captain Bockman, who was busy stuffing documents into the burning gasoline barrel as fuel to burn, his eyes widened when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Without saying a word, he immediately rushed out of the temporary tent and came to the open space outside. Although the smoke bomb that had just been fired had fallen down, the large amount of white smoke it left in the air was still there. It is still spreading with the wind and is still extremely conspicuous.

"Why are you not one of ours!? Who asked you to remove the sentry on the top of the slope? You are committing a crime! A crime! Do you know!?"

Captain Bockman, who was already so busy that his feet were not touching the ground, was obviously in a bad mood. A lot of troubles and annoyances collided with each other, which directly caused the very angry Captain Bockman to run away on the spot and grab him. The second lieutenant next to him had a curse-like question on his collar.

"You said it, you said we should all evacuate! The sentries on the top of the slope are also from our battalion. I followed your order and asked them to withdraw. They just came down not long ago."

"Damn it!"

He pushed away the second lieutenant who was grabbed by his collar, but still had an angry look on his face. He recalled that he had indeed issued such an order to Captain Bokman, and now he only hated himself for not saying more at that time. Speak clearly.

The following new low-level officers, who were just added this year, are as rigid and dogmatic as a piece of wood! Taking the stupid attribute of "If you don't say it and I don't do it, it's not my fault if you get into trouble" to the extreme, how can you fight with the Russians with these stupid asses?

If the Russian guy on the opposite side knew that this guy was so stupid and had withdrawn the commanding post before the large troops could withdraw, he would probably die laughing on the spot.
