Just north of the Sevastopol fortress is the slender Severnaya bay in an east-west direction.

To the north of the bay to the Belibek Valley, the Soviets had built a number of extremely strong fortifications, and after many days of reconnaissance and identification, the German artillery units marked the location of these fortifications on the map and gave them some convenient names to remember.

"Stalin", "Molotov", "GPU", "Siberian", "Volga" and "Maxim Gorky-1", northeast of the fortification complex, closest to the 12th "Hitler Youth" division of the Waffen-SS was the fortress codenamed "Stalin".

To the north of the Stalin's fortress, there was a perimeter line of defense with a depth of two to three kilometers.

On the evening of May 5, on the side of the dirt road connecting the main entrance and exit of the Stalin Fortress to the outer defensive line, the NKVD's Captain Villean Schunezel (played by the reader MACSAD-Internet Police) wore a crisp military uniform and carried his beloved SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle, staring at the north with affectionate eyes, hoping for the appearance of the slender figure.

It wasn't until the sun had completely set the horizon that two figures, one tall and one short, met Captain Schunezel's eyes on the dirt road.

Seeing the short but slender figure, Comrade Captain let out a breath of fresh air.

Great, Lyudmila has returned safely once again.

As soon as the joy of his sweetheart returning safely from a hunting trip came to his heart, Captain Schunezel's face tensed instantly, and he clearly saw that Lyudmila raised her fist and punched the tall figure beside her twice, and the tall figure turned slightly sideways to dodge.

Comrade Pavlichenko, a woman like you really makes me happy and makes me sad!

Captain Schunezel was originally the commander of the 3rd Correctional Battalion of the Southern Front, but when the Dnieper defense line was breached, he was injured in the back and fell into a coma by an aerial bomb dropped by the Luftwaffe, and was desperately taken out of the front line by his subordinates and sent to a field hospital of the 18th Army under the Southern Front.

Because of the unfavorable situation of the war, the 18th Army withdrew all the way south to the Crimean Peninsula with the Southern Front.

As the war progressed, the Southern Front was renamed the Crimean Front, and the two subordinate armies were cut in half by the Germans.

The 44th Army and the Separate 51st Army, which had been formed on the Crimean Peninsula, and the 47th Army, which had later arrived for reinforcements from the Taman Peninsula, were driven to the Kerch Peninsula in the eastern part of the Crimean Peninsula and subsequently reorganized into the Crimean Front.

The remnants of the defeated 18th Army were to be forced back to the Sevastopol fortress, where it merged with the army, navy and air force of the fortified area and renamed the Separate Primorsky Army.

Lieutenant Schunezel lay in the hospital inside the Sevastopol fortress for two months, during which time he became acquainted with another sick man who had retreated from Odessa to the fortress, Second Lieutenant Lyudmila Pavlichenko.

Second Lieutenant Pavlichenko, a sniper who was shelled by the Germans during the operation in Odessa, was seriously wounded in the head, suffered a severe concussion, and retreated by sea to the fortress.

After two months of getting along, although it was already the end of 1942 and the cold winter was steadily approaching, Captain Schunezel found that the spring of love had quietly arrived.

However, before Captain Schunezel could figure out how to deal with the sudden love, the cruelty of the war instantly destroyed the fortress of love between the two that had not yet had time to be perfected.

After the sad news came, Second Lieutenant Pavlichenko's lover Comrade Makarov died in Odessa, and after being saddened, Second Lieutenant Pavlichenko angrily decided to leave the hospital early and return to the battlefield to let the fascist bandits pay for their blood debts.

The hospital approved the request for the discharge of Second Lieutenant Pavlichenko, and the sweetheart of Comrade First Lieutenant was then sent to which battlefield.

Lieutenant Schunezel was discharged from the hospital and was placed to remain in the fortress with other NKVD fighters to stabilize the fortress and, more importantly, to keep the mind at bay, especially in case German spies followed the chaotic crowd into the fortress.

The pain of not seeing his sweetheart made Captain Schunezel very painful, his heart was as cold as the ice and snow outside the window, and he could only suppress the pain caused by lovesickness by putting all his energy into his work every day.

At the end of 1942, thanks to the great assistance of Generals "Winter" and "Cold", the fortress held off the German attack.

With the arrival of the spring of 1943, the Sevastopol fortress again faced a serious situation.

After organizational research, it was decided to send Captain Schunezel to lead a platoon of NKVD fighters as a supervising team to the Stalin battery, the support point of the battle line.

On the first day of leading his men to the fort, Captain Schunezel was pleasantly surprised to see his sweetheart, Lieutenant Lyudmila Pavlichenko, who had been missing him for a whole winter.

However, it is better to miss each other than to see each other, and soon after the old friends meet and greet each other, Captain Schunezel discovers a cruel truth in front of him.

She had a new boyfriend, the tall and burly Lieutenant Leonida Tishenko, who stood beside her with a Mosin Nagant sniper rifle and went in and out with her every day, acting as an observer for her.

Although she didn't ask, the affection that couldn't be hidden between the eyebrows and eyes when the two talked couldn't be hidden, and she had never looked at herself with that kind of affectionate gaze.

The damn spring of 1943 was really annoying.

With years of military training and a strong will honed by the NKVD's political work, Shunezel hid his affection and appeared in front of Tyshenko and Pavlichenko like a pure old friend, and every day as long as he had time, he would get up early to say goodbye to a couple who went out hunting at night, and made himself a 100% qualified warm man.

Looking at the two people who were fighting on the road from a distance, Captain Honezel suppressed the flame of jealousy in his heart, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and greeted the two warmly.

"How many?"

Lyudmila raised her right hand and made a V-shaped gesture.

"Two."

Captain Schunezel smiled and said, "In two words, your total record has reached 309, and you are now our super trump card." ”

"Of course, Lyudmila is a celebrity on our radio and with the Germans, and the Germans are offering a reward of 200,000 Reichsmarks to kill her." Lieutenant Tishenko also said with a smile.

Captain Schunezel smiled at Lieutenant Tishchenko and nodded, and a flash of fire struck in the eyes of the two of them.

"I'm hungry, what did the kitchen have for us today?" Lyudmila asked.

"I asked the kitchen to leave you a roast chicken, as well as boiled eggs and a bottle of champagne."

In the midst of laughter, a couple and a spare tire walked towards the Stalin battery.

After dinner, the sniper couple did not know where to hide to flirt, leaving Captain Schunezel alone and having another tormented night.

In the early morning of May 6, the sky had not yet brightened, and as a qualified warm man with a spare tire, Captain Schunezel got up early to see off the two.

Looking at the two inseparable figures, although they were repeatedly suppressed, Comrade Captain still could not suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.

Staring at the tall back, Captain Schunezel let out a vicious curse.

God bless you being targeted by German snipers······

Burdened with the curse of his rival, Lieutenant Tishenko wrapped himself in a cloak and went one after the other with Lyudmila, using the cover of night to pass through the forward positions, and after greeting the sentry sentry, he walked into the middle of the battlefield and burrowed into the vast birch forest.

This birch forest is the hunting ground of the two men for the last week, and if they do not encounter German troops in the birch forest, the two will use the cover of the birch forest to approach the front of the German position and hunt down the exposed soldiers and officers in the German position.

"I'll bet an egg that we'll meet the German snipers today." Tyshenko said with a big mouth and a smile.

Lyudmila rubbed her round apple-red cheeks, took off the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle she was carrying behind her back and held it in her hand.

"I'm betting two eggs, and we're sure to meet our German counterparts."

The two squatted with sniper rifles and walked into the dimly lit birch forest, one foot deep and one foot shallow, through the forest full of dead branches and leaves.

The road was safe, the two men did not encounter an attack, and safely passed through the birch forest, came to the edge of the birch forest, lurked behind the small dirt slope, and observed the movement of the German positions on the opposite side.

Soon, the first target appeared in the PE4 scope of the two men, and a small rectangular hole was dug out of the top of a door-shaped cover, and a figure flashed behind the small hole, and the figure seemed to be peeking through the hole to see the movement in the birch forest.

"Do you think this is a real target or a decoy?" Lieutenant Tishchenko asked.

"It's bait." Lyudmila spoke decisively about her judgment.

"Since it's a decoy, the person who set the bait should be nearby, and we're going to find him." Lieutenant Tishchenko said.

"Where would I hide if I were him?" Based on her extensive sniping experience, Lyudmila searched one after another for possible hiding locations for the sniper on the opposite side.

"I found him, at eleven o'clock, under the back of the scrapped truck."

Hearing Lyudmila's prompt, Tyshenko hurriedly pointed his gun in the direction of eleven o'clock and easily found a gas truck with the right body diagonally facing him and the right front tire disappearing.

After looking carefully for a while, Tyshenko found a shadowy barrel under the carriage, near the rear wheel.

"I could only see the barrel of his gun, his head was blocked by the tires." Lyudmila said with a frown.

Tyshenko, who was lying on Lyudmila's right, said: "Let me come." ”

As he spoke, Tishenko slowly retracted behind the dirt slope and slowly moved about two meters to the right, once again showing his head on the dirt slope.

About ten seconds later, a crisp and familiar gunshot came from the right, and Lyudmila looked at Tyshchenko, who saw her nodding slowly and saying the last words of his life.

"I hit him."

After saying that, Tishenko slowly shrank back behind the dirt slope, but the sound of gunfire came from the opposite position, and Lieutenant Tishenko's head was like being hit hard by a hammer, and he fell back sharply, and the red and white liquid sprayed out, staining the military uniform red and yellow.

Lyudmila quickly retracted her body behind the dirt slope, and her terrified eyes continued to look in the direction of Tyshenko's body.

However, a strange noise came to her ears, "The sun ······"

Mortar ······
