Rebirth of the National Marshal

Li Dongsheng immediately waved his hand and commanded his infantry troops to follow. At this time, the tanks were already moving slowly. This was a signal to the infantry regiment that this was the time when you were needed to follow. This was the theory of coordinated infantry and tank operations.

When the tanks are advancing, there are likely to be some blind spots that are not well taken care of, which will give the enemy infantry an opportunity. If they can seize this opportunity, then the fate of the tanks will be tragic. But if there are infantry behind them at this time, they can block these blind spots and then kill them without giving the Soviet infantry any chance.

"Comrade Company Commander, we can't hold on any longer. Let's retreat quickly. There are less than fifty people left in our entire company. The enemy tanks are about to rush over. If they wait, we will have no way to retreat. You see, there are infantrymen all behind their tanks. Don't let our soldiers suffer unnecessary casualties. They can't get close to those tanks at all. As soon as they leave the trenches, they will be killed by those infantrymen. Now their tanks can be said to have no blind spots." The Soviet army's infantry immediately launched a suicide operation. They felt that this would hinder the enemy's attack. Unexpectedly, hundreds of people died, but none of the enemy tanks were damaged and they continued to advance slowly at the original speed. This was directly related to those infantrymen.

"Get out of my way! Do you know what crime it is to abandon our position without permission? Even if we run back, we will all be brought to a military court. We are not allowed to retreat. If we dare to retreat, we will definitely be shot. Order the next batch of suicide squads to come forward." The company commander waved his hand, and five or six more Soviet soldiers rushed up from behind.

There was no other way. The troops lacked anti-tank guns and could only fill the gap with lives. This often happened in the Central Army. These Soviet soldiers should have had weapons and equipment, but unfortunately, their weapons and equipment were all just on paper and had not been produced at all. The factories were unwilling to update their equipment and could only produce some relatively backward ones. These anti-tank guns had no problem dealing with tanks from the First World War, but they were basically useless against tanks from the Second World War.

The six Soviet soldiers were all tied with a large number of grenades. They had no intention of coming back alive after they went out. This was also the result of drawing lots just now. Many people did not want to draw the death lot, but there was no other way. Someone still had to go out and do this.

In the last battle, they used this method to paralyze several Chinese tanks, and it also caused them considerable losses, so they thought this was a feasible method.

But this time the Chinese changed their tactics. The reason they were successful last time was because their infantry did not catch up and the tanks' defense had a blind spot, so they were able to succeed. But this time, following closely behind the tanks were all Chinese infantry. Those people were either holding submachine guns or pistols. Anyway, their firepower was very strong. Before we could get out of the trenches, we were blocked by bullets, and we didn't even have a chance to jump out.

Just like these five or six people, two of them rushed out of the trench, but the bullets ruthlessly broke their chests. Not to mention blowing up the tank, they fell directly in the trench. One of them had already pulled the grenade, but did not cause any harm to the enemy. Instead, he sent seven or eight brothers in the trench on his side to see God.

"Captain, the signalman from the regiment is here, ordering us to retreat quickly. This section of the position has been abandoned. We must retreat to the second position." How could the commander not feel distressed? These were the soldiers he had been with day and night. Although many Soviet officers did not care much about the lives of their men, the commander still cared a little. With only a few dozen men left, he certainly cared even more. When he heard the order to retreat, he immediately led his men to retreat.

Seeing the Soviets begin to retreat, Li Dongsheng took a step and climbed onto the slowly advancing tank. There was a machine gun on the top of the tank that was operated from the outside. Li Dongsheng immediately pulled the safety and started firing at the retreating Soviet soldiers.

This thing is still powerful. How can the Suomi submachine gun in my hand catch up with this thing? The caliber of the Suomi submachine gun is much different from this thing. This thing is all 12.7mm heavy machine guns. It is really cool to shoot these people, and the range is also relatively long. Half of the dozens of retreating soldiers were killed by this machine gun.

"I say you're almost there, these bullets belong to our tank regiment. I guess it's not a waste of your bullets. You're so good at shooting, you fired 500 bullets just like that." There was no one left standing in front of them, but Li Dongsheng still used up all the bullets in the bullet box.

To be honest, he had seen machine guns before, but he had never seen such a powerful machine gun on a tank. Moreover, the bullets were different from those of the infantry. The infantry's bullets were all 250 rounds, while the tanks had rounds. This was really powerful!

"Look at how stingy you are. You see, I killed twenty or thirty enemies with 500 bullets. This ratio is already a very high ratio. Those new recruits might not kill a single enemy with thousands of bullets." Li Dongsheng said with a smile. Of course he knew that the tank company commander was joking.

"Hurry up and get your soldiers up. We are heading towards the second line of defense. The bullets are all in the back. Find someone to replace them. Don't run out of bullets when you encounter the enemy later." The tank commander rolled his eyes. You think it's easier to replenish bullets here, right? This is true. After all, the infantry has limited bullets. The tank has a lot of bullets in the supply box in the back. The 500 bullets it carries are just a drop in the bucket for a tank.

Soldiers are of the essence and speed is of the essence now. Every minute is crucial. The tank company commander has ordered his tanks to advance at full speed. Since there are not many Soviet soldiers on the battlefield, there is no need for them to waste time here. Li Dongsheng can just leave twenty or so soldiers here to clean up the battlefield.
