Early the next morning, Sokov was awakened by a rush knock on the door.
He knew that if something urgent hadn't happened, his subordinates wouldn't have been so anxious to wake him up. He turned over and got out of bed, and without even having to wear his boots, he rushed to the door and opened the door.
Outside the door was a staff officer of the division headquarters. When he saw Sokov open the door, he quickly raised his hand to his forehead and saluted: "Comrade Commander, economic incidents have happened. The Chief of Staff asked you to go to the division headquarters immediately."
"What happened?" Sokov asked quickly.
"In a village south of the city, the enemy was found."
Don't see that the German army had raided Lugansk many times, but the battle site was in the west of the city. This was the first time that the enemy was found in the south of the city. Sokov asked cautiously: "Is the news reliable?"
"Full be reliable." The staff officer nodded and replied, "A man escaped from the village and reported to our soldiers. After receiving the report, Lieutenant Colonel Papuchinko immediately sent people to the village for reconnaissance."
Sokov asked a few more questions, but when he saw that the staff officer couldn't explain it clearly, he did not waste any more time. He hurriedly put on his boots, put on his military coat, and followed the staff officer to the division command center.
"Comrade," as soon as he saw Sokov appear, Cidolin came up and reported to him: "Lieutenant Colonel Papchinko had just called and said that the traces of Germans were indeed found in that village."
"How many enemies are there, and how well are their equipment?" Sokov asked in a series of questions: "Did Lieutenant Colonel Papchinko take any measures?"
"According to the report of Lieutenant Colonel Papuchinko, there are about twenty enemies in the village. They used the wooden houses in the village to establish two firepower points." Sidorin suggested to Sokov: "Now the Lieutenant Colonel has drawn up an infantry company and is rushing to the village. Comrade Commander, in order to eliminate the Germans as soon as possible, I suggest two more tanks to participate in the battle."
"Agree." In order to prevent the long nights and dreams from happening, Sokov naturally hoped to eliminate the enemy as soon as possible, so he readily agreed to Sidolin's request. He faced Bellei and said: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, please send two tanks to cooperate with the infantry's actions and strive to eliminate the enemy in the shortest time."
"Misha, I think two more self-propelled artillery should be sent to the battle." Bere reminded Sokov: "The enemy has occupied favorable terrain in the village. If they have anti-tank weapons, it may cause our tank losses. If self-propelled artillery fires outside the village, destroying the wooden houses occupied by the enemy will also help our infantry enter the village to clear out."
"Blast the village with self-propelled artillery?" Hearing Bele's suggestion, Sokov hesitated: "Will this hurt the villagers in the village by accident?"
"Comrade Commander, there are no villagers in that village." When Sidolin heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "After the German army entered the village, they drove all the villagers to the burgundy yard in the middle of the village and killed them all with machine guns. Among them, a seriously injured villager, who woke up, struggled to climb out of the village and rushed to report to us. If it weren't for the time being that he had met one of our patrols, I'm afraid that no news would be conveyed before he died."
"The Chief of Staff, as the deputy division commander said, in addition to the two tanks, two more self-propelled artillery were sent to eliminate the enemy in the shortest time." Sokov opened the samov on the table, put a cup of hot tea for himself, and added: "Remember, no prisoners are left in this battle, and all captured German officers and soldiers will be shot on the spot. For these two-legged beasts, we do not accept their surrender."
Sidolin thought Sokov would order the captive German officers and soldiers to let go, but he was quite worried. When he heard this special order, he immediately replied loudly: "Yes, division commander, I will help you convey your order immediately."
Bere's judgment was accurate. As soon as the two T-34 tanks arrived at the entrance of the village, they were attacked by the German bazooka. This Bazooka bazooka seized by the German army is very effective for the common T-34 tanks, but the two tanks sent by Berere were T-34/85, and the front of the vehicle was armored plates up to 75 mm thick, blocking the attack of the Bazooka bazooka.
Although the rockets launched by Bazukka accurately hit the tank's body and exploded a dazzling flame. But when the flames dissipated, the tank was not destroyed except for a circular dent.
The tank stopped in place, slowly turned its muzzle, aimed at the wooden house where the German anti-tank hand was hiding, and the wooden house collapsed with a bang. None of the two German anti-tank hand hid inside could run out.
The two SU-122 self-propelled artillery, which was more than 100 meters behind the tank, also chose a suitable shooting position and shot straight toward the place where the Germans might be hidden in the village. Because of Sokov, the two self-propelled artillery launched in advance, each shell fired by the two self-propelled artillery can directly blow the hit wooden house and the enemy inside to pieces.
Enemies with only light weapons have never seen such a formation. They knew that there was only one dead end to hide in wooden houses, so they escaped, choosing to hide beside a well or behind a broken wall made of stone. But no matter where they hid, they would soon be discovered by artillery soldiers, and a shell passed by, blowing them up and blood and flying.
In less than five minutes, there were only five or six German soldiers living in the village. Someone took the lead and shouted, "Stop fighting, let's surrender." His words quickly resonated, and the rest of the German soldiers living also shouted one after another. Some even tied white handkerchiefs to the muzzle of the rifle, raised high over the hiding broken wall, and waved desperately.
Seeing the German army in the village raise a white flag, the tank parked at the entrance of the village start again and rumble towards the village. The tank driver is very smart. He is worried that there are still Germans in the house, so he intends to collapse a corner of the house and let the whole house collapse. Even if there are Germans hidden inside, they will be crushed to death by the collapsed house.
A tank was driving the way in front, and the infantry behind rushed up to search for the collapsed houses. When they saw the alive soldiers, they immediately shot him. If it was a corpse, they would pull it out of the ruins and hide in the open space next to them. After checking all the houses and ruins and finding that there were no enemies, the company commander ordered the surrendered German officers and soldiers to drag the villagers who were killed by them to carry out the shooting execution.
