Chapter 365: Persistent Pavlichenko
Sniper - this unique name brings people a cold and romantic association. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info opponents call them ghosts on the battlefield, silently, killing people invisibly. No one dares to deny their existence, but no one knows where they are hiding, and there is no way to avoid them, and the specific title of sniper always implies a looming murder in the dark.
The cold gaze behind the crosshairs is as cold as a blade, and the momentary weakness, the momentary sympathy, and the fleeting hesitation may make his eyebrows become the bull's-eye of the opponent. The field is a life-and-death battle, guns and guns are a contest between life and life, no one has experienced such a life-and-death confrontation, no one is qualified to blame the cruelty and bloodiness of the sniper, and there is no qualification to criticize the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the sniper. War demands that they remain silent in the face of death, even if the opponent's brains splash behind the scope, even if their comrades and even loved ones fall by their side......
The day's sniper mission was over, and after a short break, he wiped the spear of life, and slowly, the cold light faded, and the warmth in the depths of his heart rose to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows little by little. Loved ones, lovers, the joy of the first deer hunt, the scorn of the mother, the beautiful home after the war...... A faint smile, a surging heartβbut with a gun raised, everything returns to calm, calmly waiting, calmly killing, calmly facing the death that may come anytime and anywhere.
An outstanding female sniper, her soul of ice and fire is always stirring in the turbulence of love and hate.

On June 5, the Supreme High Command issued a general ****** that all Soviet citizens born between 1905 and 1923 were covered by the ******. It was this document signed by Lin Jun and signed by him and Stalin that allowed countless young people to bid farewell to their original life trajectory and plunge into the torrent of the great and glorious Great Patriotic War!
On the morning of June 12, the recruitment station of Kyiv National University. It was a busy scene for several days, not only because of the fact that it was suitable for a military recruitment station, but also because many students from the national university came to sign up with a burning patriotic passion.
Kyiv was bombed by the Germans for three days in a row, the fire that had been extinguished in the distance was still emitting black smoke, and the smell of war permeated the ancient city of Kiev. With the consent of the school leadership, university students have the opportunity to become Red Army fighters as long as they are not in a particular specialty.
In the long procession, there was a tall schoolgirl who stood out: slim, prime, naturally beautiful, with big blue eyes flashing innocent and pure, full of youthful vitality, a standard Slavic beauty. But if you look closely, you will find that the perseverance in that gaze is rare for ordinary people. She's not one of those young college girls: it's her 25th birthday, she's had a job, she's been through life's trials - it's just that all the good things are a thing of the past, and she lost all her loved ones in the air raid two days ago!
No one bothered her, knowing that her classmates already understood that she had just sent away the remains of all her loved ones yesterday, and now she was about to become a Red Army soldier.
On June 12, 1916, Lyudmila Mikhainovna Pavlichenko was born in Betselkovy, Syyatshakov, Ukraine. As a child, Lyudmila was a good student who was hardworking, had good grades and had an independent spirit. At that time, her world was full of beauty, and the lively and lovely little girl never imagined that one day she would raise a gun and kill someone.
In the 9th grade, Lyudmila's family moved to Kiev and spent their secondary school years peacefully. After graduating, she got a job, and it was then that Lyudmila fell in love with shooting sports. She was fascinated by the sudden burst of silence, by the unstoppable speed of the bullet, by the joy of overcoming herself after hitting the target. She often participates in a shooting club, and her tenacity, intelligence, and hard work quickly make her a sharpshooter.
If there is no war, no one can guess what kind of story Lyudmila will have, and the war may have destroyed many of her beautiful dreams, and may have robbed her of her originally stable and happy youth. The fascists took everything away from her, which made her plan to sign up for the Red Army have to be postponed for two days, since the remains of her loved ones need to be buried.
The tears have dried up, and now she is stronger! Beneath the beautiful and effeminate exterior is a strong and unyielding heart, sincere patriotic passion and a desire to avenge her loved ones, and Lyudmila stands here today.
Comrade Captain, who was in charge of the enlistment department, had also noticed this unusual student: as long as he wore a military uniform, he had the appearance of a perfect female soldier. Captain Paronin even compared the most perfect female soldier in the heart of the woman in front of him just now: if you only look at the appearance, he is only a little worse than the wife of the deputy commander.
The dangerous thought just flashed through Captain Paronin's mind, and he immediately drove it away, and when he looked back, he felt that his idea was too dangerous!
"She can be a very good logistics staff or a field nurse, and she will definitely become a goddess in the hearts of soldiers!" The captain thought to himself.
Finally it was Lyudmila's turn, and she handed the staff her own papers: "I signed up for the infantry and became a sniper. β
Her words obviously stunned the staff, and several comrades laughed: "Do you know how to hold a gun?" β
Lyudmila was a little annoyed and skillfully put on an aiming stance: "I am a sharpshooter, I have been systematically trained by the Kiev Shooting Club, and I have also won prizes in competitions. β
Her words were tepid, but the officers didn't want such a brilliant girl to be a rifle shooter: "Bullets don't care if you're a woman or not!" We have seen many girls like you, who, like you, want to win the honor of their country and insist on going to the front to fight, but in fact they are more suitable for the job of being a nurse, and fighting is a man's business. β
"Believe me, I will definitely become a good soldier of the Red Army." At this time, the classmates on the side couldn't stand still, and a few classmates who knew about Lyudmila's situation came up to reason with the officer comrades, and then the officers finally understood that the outstanding girl in front of them was already iron-hearted.
Paronin stepped forward, knowing that such a comrade, who had undergone rigorous shooting training and whose loved ones had died under the fascist bombardment, would surely become an excellent fighter. "We agreed, Comrade Lyudmila, that you will become a rifle shooter in an infantry unit. Time does not allow us to send you to a sniper school for training, and hopefully you will learn how to be a good sniper during the war. β
After filling out the form, Paronin put her form in the file of the "Good Shooter": Lyudmila could not have imagined that from today onwards, it is precisely because this war will pave a heroic path for her and create her unique sniper life!

In World War II, the Romanian army served as servants of the German army and played a trickster role most of the time. In the summer and autumn of 1941, the Romanian army was to act as the main offensive force for a campaign on the Axis side.
In 1940, a coup d'Γ©tat by Romanian officer Antoniscu established a dictatorship. In October of the same year, Romania joined the Axis powers, and later participated in the invasion of the Soviet Union as a servant of the German army.
Since the start of the war on June 3, the Romanian army has been the main force on the southern front, and the Romanian 4th Army, in conjunction with the German Army Group South, occupied Moldova in a month's time.
On July 27, 1941, Hitler awarded Antoniscu the rank of Field Marshal and asked the Romanian army to capture the Soviet Black Sea port city of Odessa with the support of the German army, cutting off the Soviet Union's channel for sending troops and supplies from the Black Sea to Ukraine through Odessa, and at the same time facilitating the German army to draw troops to invade the Soviet hinterland.
The battle would be dominated by the Romanian army, because the elite of the German Army Group South was fighting to the death with the strong defensive line built by the Red Army near the Vinnytsia-Odessa railway line, and it was impossible to draw up forces to attack the Odessa area. This would have brought Lukin's army group to the advancing Germans in the area near Balta, and the two sides occupied a stalemate for a while.
The two army groups in the north did not make much progress, but on the contrary, Army Group South achieved the expected results, which was not expected by the German high command.
On 3 August, the 4th Romanian Army crossed the Dniester River under the command of its commander, Lieutenant General Nikolai Sopica: the Romanian army planned to divide its forces into two lines, with the 3rd Group on the left flank (the 1st, 3rd, 7th Infantry Divisions and the 2nd Tank Regiment of the Romanian Army) for a frontal assault on Odessa, and the 5th Group on the right flank (the 15th Infantry Division, the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Romanian Army) for a flank attack south of Odessa.
Faced with the grim situation, the Red Army headquarters ordered the formation of the Odessa Defense District, which commanded the Red Army's independent Primorsky Army, the Odessa base of the Black Sea Fleet, and the militia units, and built three lines of defense consisting of trenches, pillboxes and anti-tank artillery positions around the city of Odessa. The outer defense line is 25-30 kilometers from the urban area, with a total length of 80 kilometers; The middle defense line is 6-8 kilometers away from the urban area and has a total length of 30 kilometers; The last line of defense is the city of Odessa.
On August 5, 1941, the 25th Infantry Division was ordered to defend Bilyavka, a mountain of great value, near Bayaevka. And in a village near Bayaevka, Lyudmila is about to carry out her first sniper mission.
