Chapter 1276 The Responsibility of Blowing up the Bridge

For the 17th Panzer Division, this opportunity was too rare.

After crossing the Dnieper, they gave the ferry to the follow-up troops, and started a crazy marching mode. With the help of reconnaissance planes, they avoided the heavy interception lines of the Soviets and inserted directly into Smolensk from the south. .

Along the way, there was no resistance from the Soviets. Although there were villages along the way who discovered the German army's attack, the speed at which they reported the news to their superiors was actually not as fast as the German army's attack.

In this way, they hit the southern part of Smolensk and rushed into the city!

In the city, they encountered slight resistance, and these resistances were almost insignificant.

A machine gunner on an armored vehicle died in battle, and this was the only casualty. Although the others encountered resistance, the weak firepower of the opponent was simply not proportional to their own.

Go, go, go all the way!

Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are charging in the city of Smolensk, and only the most daring soldiers dare to do so. General prudent generals will doubt whether this will be a problem, right? The other side is setting a trap.

But they are not afraid.

"Da da da." On the infantry fighting vehicle, several soldiers opened fire and killed the soldiers who tried to rush up to throw Molotov cocktails. Those soldiers' movements were too amateur, and they looked like they had just enlisted in the army yesterday.

"Don't worry about the resistance along the way, we have been rushing over, rushing to the north of the city, and taking their headquarters directly!" On the radio, came the order of division commander Weber.

He was already very excited. If he took the other party's headquarters directly, he would be able to capture a Soviet marshal. Moreover, the entire battlefield would be messed up immediately and eaten by his own side!

How fast are they? It only took half an hour to pass through the southern city!

In front is a bridge.

The south is the old city, the north is the new city, and the bridge is mainly between the old city and the new city.

"The Germans, the Germans are coming up, what should I do?" Due to the importance of the bridge, Colonel Shor took some people and stayed here. Now, looking at the German tanks on the other side of the bridge, he was quite in a hurry.

"Have you contacted General Lukin?" He kept urging and asked, but his men shook their heads.

At such a time, things would be messed up later, and the people who sent it couldn't find Lu Jin at all, and even if they did, they couldn't have come so quickly.

"No, the Germans are coming up, there's no time, blow up the bridge!" Colonel Shore shouted.

"Colonel, without the order of the superior, we have to take responsibility for blowing up the bridge without authorization." The person beside him said.

Colonel Shore, Lukin's old subordinate, came from Shepetovka together. Now, he remembered that when he was in Shepetovka, General Lukin was still so decisive, even if he took risks. , still disobeyed the military order, stayed in the local area, and even opened the arsenal, and that one thing was enough to die several times.

Now, he doesn't have time to think about it either. The punishment will be discussed later. At least for now, let's think about what's in front of him first!

"Blast the bridge!" Colonel Shore shouted.

In fact, Colonel Shaw's mission here is to protect the bridge. If the bridge cannot be protected well, blow it up. The explosives below will have been placed long ago.

Now, at his command, his hand pressed the trigger.

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded, and the whole bridge was filled with smoke, bricks flew horizontally, and a huge vibration resounded throughout the city.

"Which bastard dared to blow up the bridge without an order?" Almost at the same time, a man jumped out of Gorky's car and ran towards him quickly.

Lukin has arrived.

Lu Jin was in a hurry. When he came out of the headquarters, he jumped into his car and came here. He knew that if his militia regiment encountered a large number of German troops, it would not be able to stop him. Therefore, he had to Arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

Who knows, just as his car reached the bridge, the bridge was blown up!

How can this not make Lu Jin angry? Yes, Lu Jin is a special general who dares to take risks to disobey the military orders at critical moments, but this does not mean that he can tolerate his subordinates to do the same.

No one likes disobedient subordinates, and competent subordinates are no exception.

Especially now, he was just about to cross the bridge, but the bridge was blown up, how could he not get angry?

Just as Lukin finished shouting, he felt something was wrong.

The shells crossed the Dnieper and flew over.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The 88mm grenade flew over. The nearest one was only a few meters away from Lukin's car. The car was lifted by the blast of air, and then it burned.

Lu Jin was lying on the side of the road, and just rolled down from the car quickly, his arms and face were scratched, and now, he didn't care about the burning pain, he quickly crawled a few times, behind a bunker, Raised his telescope.

The bridge was bombed too soon. If it was one step later, the German tanks would rush over. If the Germans took control of the bridge, the cities in the north would also face the danger of falling.

The Germans came so fast, which greatly exceeded our expectations. At the same time, the bombing of the bridge also meant that the southern urban area had all fallen into the hands of the Germans, and his own militia groups had disappeared. .

Lukin didn't know what his mood was at this time, whether he was happy or sad, in short, he knew that the situation in Smolensk had suddenly become complicated.

"General, I blew up the bridge." At this time, Colonel Shaw had already run over and was very happy to see him.

"It's fortunate that the bridge was bombed, otherwise we would be in trouble." Lukin said, "If someone pursues it, say that the bridge was bombed by me."

Now, Lu Jin does not have the power to blow up the bridge. The only one who can give the order to blow up the bridge is Timoshenge himself. Lu Jin said this, of course, to protect his subordinates.

Sure enough, within five minutes, Brother Timoshen's investigation came down.

"Which daring guy blew up the bridge without receiving an order? Arrest him immediately and send him to a military court!"

Timoshenko got the order that the bridge was bombed, and was quite angry.

Now, all the troops on the periphery are our own troops, and the small group of German troops who can come over are also surrounded by ourselves, and we have surrounded and wiped out the army that rushed into the city. As a result, the bridge was bombed. How can we surround others?

Brother Timoshen was quite dissatisfied, but soon, he received a call back.

"I ordered the bridge to be bombed. If someone is to be responsible, it is me!" Lu Jin took all the responsibility. At the same time, he also knew that Brother Timoshen would not do anything to him.

"Lu Jin, the south is your defense zone. I now order you to take back the southern city to me immediately!" Timoshenge is also unequivocal. Don't think that Stalin can do whatever you want. Take me back the city first. Say otherwise.

At this time, Timoshenge didn't know how bad the situation was.
