Chapter 54: Waiting

The war left behind not only the cities in ruins, but also the cold death toll, but also the surviving people who stood at the intersection of their hometowns, waiting for the soldiers to return home.

Yu Yang walked in front of the corpse of the German soldier, lightly moved the corpse of the German, first turned him over, and maintained the posture of lying on the ground just now, but at this time, a photo fell from the German hand, a photo of a woman.

Squatting down, slowly picked up the photo, looked at the photo, the background is very simple, it should be in a farm in Germany, a woman is smiling at the camera, smiling brightly, and her appearance is not bad, it should be the wife or girlfriend of the dead machine gunner, this German just now, maybe he was missing his relatives, so he gave Yu Yang a chance.

Yu Yang picked up the photo, put it back in the front pocket of the German's chest, patted it gently, and sighed, how many families have been broken by the war.

After Yu Yang sighed for a while, he continued his unfinished work, moved the German corpse to the machine gun, adjusted the position little by little, and took advantage of the fact that the German corpse was not stiff, put his posture right, maintained the appearance just now, and lay on the ground, ready to shoot.

After preparing these, Yu Yang paid attention to the position of the staircase on the third floor, while wiping the blood on the ground to ensure that no one would find out, the German on the ground was dead, so he carefully hid at the corner of the stairs, sat down slowly, took out a piece of chocolate, carefully crushed one of the corners, and put it in his mouth.

The chocolate of this era, most of it is dark chocolate, there is very little sweet white chocolate, the feeling of dark chocolate after the mouth, makes Yu Yang, who is used to eating chocolate in later generations, a little unacceptable, bitter, without the slightest sweetness, but Yu Yang knows that chocolate is the best food to replenish physical strength, calories and calories, so even if it is difficult to swallow, Yu Yang still swallows these chocolates as much as possible.

Yu Yang did not know that the chocolate that was difficult to swallow in his eyes could be exchanged for two cans, or a whole pack of cigarettes, in Stalingrad, in the ceasefire zone of the Soviets and Germans, in a trading market, and even then, there was no price.

Yu Yang hid in the corner and waited, the sound of guns outside the window was like a passionate sonata, sometimes low, sometimes high-pitched, and it felt very charming to listen to it when it was quiet.

Time passed slowly, Yu Yang looked at the pocket watch, about two hours had passed, the sun had begun to sink, and it was dark very early in Stalingrad in winter, almost around five o'clock, it would go down on time, so there was not much time left for Yu Yang to do it, only two hours left.

Yu Yang was waiting, waiting for the Germans on the third floor to come down to the second floor, so that he would have a chance to kill all these Germans, now he didn't know the situation on the third floor at all, he needed to wait patiently, like a hunter, waiting for his prey to come to the door, in the process of Yu Yang's waiting, time passed again, and another hour passed.

Looking at the darkening sky outside, when Yu Yang was ready to start in half an hour, there was a slight sound of footsteps from the third floor, the sound was not loud, but Yu Yang could hear it very clearly, the sound of footsteps, the sound of stepping on the wooden stairs, the movement was not loud, but Yu Yang leaned on the corner of the wall, but he could hear it clearly, there were Germans moving, it seemed that he was walking from the third floor to the second floor.

A German voice came from the third floor, and then the footsteps became louder and louder, Yu Yang held the M4A1 in his hand and waited intently, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, the German walked away, and his mouth was speaking something Yu Yang did not understand.

Sandree walked down from the third floor with his weapon, and as soon as he walked around the corner, he saw Noi lying on the ground, and immediately shouted, the six of them had been assigned work.

Four people upstairs and two people downstairs, no longer headed, but hid in the small building, waiting for it to get dark, and then escaped, each of them rotated every three hours, and now it was his turn to come to the second floor as a machine gunner.

Noi didn't react, as if he didn't hear him speak, lying on the ground motionless, because the sky had become dark, and Noi was lying on his stomach closer to the corner of the wall, so the Germans who came down from the third floor did not find that Noi lying on the ground was dead, but walked slowly step by step.

"Damn, Noi can't be asleep already!" The German soldier slowly descended the stairs, but he was very careful with his movements, trying not to expose himself to the window.

At this time, Yu Yang suddenly walked out of the corner, holding an M4A1 rifle in his hand, and fired three shots at the Germans in front of him, the distance between the two people was less than three meters, even if Yu Yang did not aim, the three bullets still hit the German soldiers very accurately, and one of them hit the German soldier's heart.

The German soldier who was killed by Yu Yang rolled down the stairs and rolled in front of Yu Yang, Yu Yang mended his gun to his head, and the bullet made a hole in the German head, and the back of the head was mixed with red and white, and there was a smell of burning.

After seeing this scene, Yu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, only in this way could he confirm that the German was completely dead.

There was a panicked footstep from upstairs, and then Yu Yang saw a long strip-shaped object being dropped from the staircase on the third floor.

"Wooden-handled grenade!" Yu Yang instantly understood what this thing was, it was the STG39 wooden-handled grenade equipped by the Germans in World War II, and it was also one of the main German grenades in World War II, with great lethality, but most of them were used as hanging mines, and there were also German soldiers who tied 6 grenade bodies together to blow up tanks, and the effect was very good, enough to show the lethality of this grenade.

After Yu Yang saw this grenade, he immediately ran into the corner on the side, and then took two steps forward, and a flutter, like a round sphere, crashed into the second room, Yu Yang was afraid that entering the first room, the power of this grenade was too great, and it might be affected.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, Yu Yang felt that the small building was trembling slightly, and then the roof of the house kept falling dust, Yu Yang hid in the room, and after eating two mouthfuls of the falling dust, the vibration caused by the explosion stopped.

Yu Yang got up from the ground and looked at his body, except for some dust falling from the top of his head, he was not injured.

After taking off the hat on his head and patting it off, he quickly ran out of the room, poking his head out, and did not notice the German coming down from the third floor.

Walking quickly to the location of the staircase on the second floor again, the vicinity of the staircase just now has changed greatly, the wooden staircase has been blown down in half, and a huge crack has appeared in the wall of the first room.
