When Colonel Yellin sent his first reinforcements, Vasily, Pavlov, and even everyone in the building thought that they were going to see Marx today: it didn't take a closer look to see that at least two to three thousand German troops were attacking their building—and the machine gun bullets that hailed from all sides alone would have flooded the building!

After only a minute of engaging fire with the German infantry, Aleksandrov, Afanasyev, and Vololov in the front room fell in a pool of blood, and Vasily also lost the characteristic calm of a sniper, and fired wildly with the submachine gun in his hand!

It's useless to be calm!

Today, Ludvik actually miscalculated, because both he and Vasily miscalculated the "composition" of the sniper target: because at the last moment, Ludvik tried to be safe and did not turn the aiming point to the third window, otherwise he might have killed another general!

Marshal Kluge also had a general next to him, that is, the commander of the 26th Motorized Division of the 13th Army of the 4th Army, which was in charge of the attack in this area, Major General Werner-von Burdenstein, and the infantry of the 26th Motorized Division were all in this area, and it was mainly the officers and soldiers of the 26th Motorized Division who would launch a strong attack on the Pavlov building.

When the marshal fell beside him, Burton Stein was stunned for half a second: he did not approve of the marshal's visit to the front line, but he was vetoed by the stubborn Gluke and had to accompany him. From this six-story building, you can see the situation in part of the east bank of the Svisloch River, although it is not as clear as the rooftops of the buildings along the river: Burton Stein will not let the marshal go under the nose of the Russians to take risks, but he did not expect a bullet to kill the marshal in this way.

Klug died in a short period of time due to massive blood loss and backpour of blood from his lungs, and before reporting to his superiors, the somewhat disorganized Bolton Steyn had only one thought in his mind - revenge for the marshal!

Experienced officers could tell the approximate location of the sniper from two gunshots - that was the damn Pavlov building! Taking advantage of the fact that he had not yet been dismissed, the Major General gave his troops a strict order that had never been done before, and the commander of the 13th Army, General Hans Fairber, who received the marshal being hit by Red Army snipers, immediately ordered the artillery to carry out a covering shelling, and before that, the divisional artillery had already opened fire.

The Field Marshal of the Third Reich was killed by a sniper, which was a great shame for both the Third Reich and the Wehrmacht! Blood must be paid for with the lives of the enemy! It was under such impulsive thinking that the Germans launched an offensive at any cost, forcing Chuikov to give the order to counterattack.

In the direction of the waterworks, Yelin decided to abandon the positions of the waterworks and take the wounded to support the Pavlov building through the sewers and communication trenches at the moment of fierce fighting between the reinforcements on the east bank and the Germans. The importance of the water plant will not be as important as the building, but the most important thing is to keep the building.

When Ye Lin and more than 100 of his subordinates arrived at the building, the situation in front of them shocked the battle-hardened soldiers - there were corpses everywhere, plus reinforcements, nearly 150 building defenders were killed or wounded, and some soldiers and citizens who had been seriously injured were still shooting on the ground!

There was a howling sound like a raging wind, and an overwhelming explosion appeared on the northwest side - the Katyusha were in full swing! After a cloud of smoke and fire, the Germans attacking from the northwest finally retreated, but the fierce battle continued in the southwest corner.

On the second floor, Ye Lin saw Pavlov, and the sergeant's whole body was as if he had been dug out of a pile of dust, except for a pair of eyes that were still shining, and his facial features were almost unclear.

Gradually, the exchange of fire in the southwest corner finally thinned out, because the infantry of the 87th Division had successfully broken through the bridgehead position, and part of the troops were approaching the building. In order not to be surrounded, the attacking Germans had to retreat to the west - it was better to go court-martialed than to be senselessly killed.

The reconnaissance squad leader did not notice the regimental commander's arrival, for in his arms lay a wounded man with bloody flesh and blood, and through the tattered military uniform, the colonel could see that it was an officer.

"Pavlov, who is it?" Ye Lin shouted several times before the sergeant heard it—not because there was still a firefight, but because his ears were already deaf, and the violent explosion of shells and the waves of air made his ears bleed.

"It's Captain Vasily! The deputy commander's guard, is there a hygienist, and there is still salvation! The sergeant yelled at his regimental commander, he was not in the mood to talk about discipline.

As soon as he heard that it was Captain Vasily, Ye Lin was also anxious at this time, and yelled to find a hygienist.

A minute later, the only living medical sergeant in the regiment was pulled up, and when he saw Vasily's condition, the sergeant was worried - the shell was wounded, and the entire upper body was covered with wounds, which must have been accompanied by bone damage. And that's not all: the captain suffered a wound to the head, a blur of flesh and blood, and presumably an eye.

Vasily was still sane, just now a cannonball hit the outer wall less than 5 meters away from him, and the pain was so severe that he almost fainted - in an instant, Vasily's strong sniper's will almost collapsed, because he couldn't see!

In the haze, someone seemed to be shouting at him, holding himself in his arms, as if it were Pavlov: yes, it should be Sergeant Yakov, he was on his left just now.

Gradually, I seemed to regain a little vision, and the pain was reduced a lot—I saw it with my left eye, and I felt strange on the right side of my head, because I didn't feel it: it didn't hurt, I was numb, I lost my senses.

The sergeant gave Vasily an emergency injection of morphine, tore open his upper body of clothing, and stopped the bleeding with a first-aid kit and gauze - in addition to the bloody hole through the shrapnel, there was even a piece of broken wood embedded in the chest of Comrade Lieutenant: it was a shattered window frame.

The infantry group's attack was temporarily contained, but the German artillery and machine guns did not want to stop there, and the shelling and machine gun fire showed no sign of stopping. The shells kept falling, and it seemed that the Germans were determined to blow up the building.

The troops rushing from the Svisloch River had cleared the southwestern corner of the Germans, and some of the soldiers put their rifles with hot barrels behind their backs and immediately rescued the wounded.

Vasily was carried down on a stretcher, and Ye Lin wanted to immediately send Comrade Lieutenant to the rear hospital for rescue. Ludvik was fine in Vasily's sniper team, but Sasha was also seriously wounded and was carried by four soldiers, including Alyosha.

Pavlov, who still had a sniper rifle in Vasily's hand, knowing that it was the treasure of Comrade Captain, handed it over to Ludvik on the first floor. Yelin was supposed to ask Pavlov to visit the hospital as well, but the sergeant refused - only his ears and hearing were damaged, and there were no other external injuries, and the sergeant refused to leave his post.

Under a collapsed slab, the soldiers who rescued the wounded found the body of Aunt Yulina, who still had two machine-gun chains on her shoulders and gunshot wounds on her legs, and was still crawling towards the western position.

A young warrior had tears in the corners of his eyes and closed his aunt's eyes.

The task of the Vasily sniper team was completed, and now the task of the team members was to escort the seriously wounded team leader and Sasha to the hospital, and the building had been taken over by a new guardian, and they and 24 other Red Army soldiers and dozens of citizens successfully completed the task of guarding the building.

In the east of the city, as soon as Lin Jun got off the train, he ordered the convoy waiting on the platform to go straight to the city defense headquarters: the officer who was waiting for him at the station told him that such a fierce exchange of fire had just begun, and that from 5 o'clock in the morning to just a moment today, there was no major movement on either side in the whole of Minsk.

The Red Army only lost part of its positions on the west bank of the Svisloch River, why did a battle of such magnitude suddenly break out? The officers who came to greet him didn't know, which made Lin Jun in the car a little anxious. 、

As soon as I entered the combat hall of the city defense headquarters, I saw that it was busy, and the staff officers were listening loudly to reports or conveying orders in front of more than a dozen telephones -- and when they saw the marshal come in, everyone stood up "brushed."

Raised his hand and pressed it down quickly, and suddenly the war room turned into a noisy vegetable market again. Chuikov greeted him: "Hello, Comrade Marshal. ”

"What's the situation?" Lin Jun was anxious to understand the situation: he could understand the situation in Minsk along the way, and it was reasonable that both sides would be exhausted, could there be any unexpected situation?

"Only the general situation. Snipers at the Pavlov building had fired twice more than half an hour earlier, and a few minutes later they had retaliated with heavy German artillery fire, more than any other shelling retaliation. Subsequently, a large number of German troops launched an attack on our positions under the cover of artillery fire, which was a completely desperate assault, and even the troops defending the bridgehead were partially withdrawn, and the target was only one Pavlov building. ”

Chuikov's answer was concise and to the point, and Lin Jun immediately caught something: "The sniper target must be a senior commander of the German army, and the level is very high." ”

"I also thought so, and after the shelling took place, I ordered the troops on the west side of the river to fully support the building. From this side we can see part of the movement of the Germans, the 87th Infantry Division has launched a strong attack on the bridgehead on the west side of the Lenin Bridge, which is weakly guarded. ”

"Is the building still in our possession?"

"Yes, there is still a fierce exchange of fire, and the 87th Division has reached the bridgehead and will soon be able to make contact with the building."

Half an hour later, Lin Jun received the news that the 87th Division had successfully contained the German attack, and at the same time arrived with a report that Captain Vasily had been seriously wounded, because he was the trigger for today's fierce battle, and he was added to the report.
