Lynn didn't expect that she would spend three warm and peaceful days in Königsberg with the White Goatee's family. Although there was no water and electricity in the city, and there was no heating or stove in the cold winter, the four of them huddled in a small room on the top floor of the hotel, and every day Lynn went out to check the number of the queue, and by the way, he used a kettle to bring back drinking water from the water intake. There are no computers, no internet and no electrical appliances, but a secret date every morning allows Lynn to find unprecedented joy in this chic "home life". As long as he has no worries about food and clothing, he is even willing to live like this for a few months.

Unfortunately, the deteriorating situation did not allow Lynn to continue to indulge in the love of men and women, and the number of refugees and wounded soldiers pouring into Königsberg every day continued unabated, and the news from their mouths became worse and worse: the two largest defensive points of Königsberg's outer defense line, the Insterburg fortress and the Masurian Lake defense line, had been broken by the Soviets one after another; After a series of fierce battles, the defense line along the middle and upper reaches of the Pleg River was also broken by the Soviet army, and the remnants of the German army retreated to the Oliver Line to reorganize the defense, and some troops with heavy losses simply retreated directly to the Königsberg Line. In short, the Soviet troops were like a red tide, which was overwhelmingly pouring under the city of Königsberg.

No one knows how long this last refuge will last.

Hearing these news, Lynn has to worry about the condition of the "butcher", but also has to worry about the comfort of herself and the White Goatee family. On the side of the dock area, although the port channel is still unblocked, due to the continuous attack and harassment of the Soviet planes, the German ships that enter the port during the day are like thieves stealing, and often withdraw from the port in a panic without waiting for the full load, but two steamers were still sunk in the bombing of the Soviet army, and four of them still insisted on sailing out of the port after being damaged. Civilians and wounded soldiers rushed into the docks to board the ships as they watched the attack on the ship, and the number of access plates posted on the cordon increased gradually, but at a much slower pace than Lynn had expected.

At dusk, Lynn finally heard the officer on the other side of the cordon shouting, "Let 222 come in." If it is fast, the batch of "228" will be able to board the ship tomorrow evening.

Walking back to the hotel with hope, suddenly, a terrible air raid siren sounded in my ears. People were shouting "everyone to the bomb shelter" everywhere in the streets, and Lynn didn't hesitate to run back to the hotel and go straight to the fifth floor.

Pushing open the door, little Catrili, who was cowering in her mother's arms, seemed to see an angel, shouted "Daddy" in panic, and plunged into Lynn's arms.

Holding this innocent and fragile child, Lynn was full of helplessness.

Hand-cranked anti-aircraft sirens still emitted terrible whimpering, and the doors were filled with panicked shouts and footsteps.

At this time, the three big and one small in the room did not flee in a panic. During the three days of their arrival in Königsberg, the Soviets launched a total of eleven air raids, that is, an average of three and a half per day. Although such air raids were frequent, most of them were aimed at the port terminals, and only a few bombs landed in urban areas. According to Lynn's observations, many more people were injured in the panic and crowding on the way to the bomb shelter than the Soviet bombs killed directly. Therefore, from the next day, he no longer ran to the bomb shelter with the family of three, but cleared sharp debris such as glass shards out of the room. As soon as he heard the air raid siren, he blocked the balcony door with a wooden table and stools, and then the four of them hid next to the bed wrapped in quilts. In this way, he has survived unharmed until now.

This time, Lynn was still holding on to his medicine, and the noise outside was the same as usual: the rumbling of artillery soon rang out, and it was the same anti-aircraft fire points they had seen along the way struggling to stop the Soviet planes. The effectiveness of the fighters in dealing with the small group of Soviet aircraft was unmatched by ground artillery, but Lynn had not seen German fighters fly over the city harbor for two days, and God knows if this was a deliberate attempt by the defenders to retain strength or if they were really lost.

The artillery fire of the air defense forces came one after another, and it sounded like a symphony of subdued and frustrated sounds. After about 5 minutes, the dull roar of the air swarm could be roughly discerned. The sound grew louder and louder, and it quickly overpowered the sound of the ground anti-aircraft artillery. It was only at this moment that Lynn was shocked: Oops, this time it was not small fish and shrimp that attacked, but a huge bomber formation!

Following past experience, Lynn knew that the enemy's fleet was approaching Königsberg at this time, and it was too late to rush to the bomb shelter temporarily. Thinking of the large formation of the Soviet Air Force that he saw on the road, Lynn suddenly complained to himself in his heart: how can he take it lightly in wartime?

Remorse is of no avail, fate has been handed back to God from his own hands. Lynn turned to look at the young woman, "Alice! ”

Although he was wearing a shawl, his beautiful eyes were not covered.

"Thank God for having met you, Katrili, and you, Mr. Roherson!"

The white goatee nodded slightly, he may not know his situation, but his expression was still so calm.

"If I can survive this war safely, I will be happy to be a family with you, and I will do my best to take care of you and love you!" Lynn spoke slowly but firmly, and the words in her words did not prevent the most important person from understanding.

The young woman calmly closed her eyes and whispered, "May God bless us!" ”

The white goatee silently crossed his forehead and chest.

Suddenly, the earth-shattering explosion began to sound, and even the sturdy buildings trembled. At this point, it is not difficult to understand why the glass of every window is shattered, and why many large buildings in the city have been razed.

The explosions are getting closer and denser. In the face of this irresistible impact, people are like dead leaves in the wind, and they can only wait for the fate of fate in trembling.

Lynn fell to her knees and bowed her head to kiss the top of Catri's head.

The child's delicate hands tugged at the corners of Lynn's clothes and sobbed quietly.

The loud explosion shook the floor beneath his feet, reminding Lynn of the first time he was shelled, when he thought the shells had landed beside him. In fact, it is still quite far away, otherwise, ordinary people's internal organs will not be able to withstand the powerful impact.

The tables and chairs blocking the balcony door were suddenly knocked open by the air current, and the sound of "bang" without warning made the three people who hugged each other tremble at the same time.

The suppressed emotions were at the extreme, and Lynn said loudly without any scruples: "Catrili, I love you!" Alice, I love you! ”

Lynn's voice was drowned out by a thunderous roar, and a strong gale rushed into the room with impunity, pushing everything that could be moved away like a drunkard with a tantrum, and Lynn's shirt was lifted, and they could barely maintain their current position.

The sound of bomb explosions, the roar of anti-aircraft weapons, and the bursting of shells are intertwined, as if it were the most violent storm in the middle of summer. Even Lynn, who had returned from the battlefield, trembled uncontrollably in such an environment.

There was a deafening explosion, and the debris splintered from the balcony, striking him with a strong tingling sensation. Lynn stood up decisively, holding Alice with one hand and little Catrili with the other, protecting the mother and daughter under her generous body.

The pungent smoke and dust filled the air, choking everyone with an unbearable cough - it was clearly not the only one who remained in the room and resigned themselves to their fate.

The Soviet bombardment was like a huge steamroller, running over the entire Königsberg from south to north with great momentum, and finally reached the harbor. During this period, Lynn did not know how many planes were shot down by German fighters and anti-aircraft guns, and he had no time to care, and he only hoped that his good fortune would become a life-saving talisman for the mother and daughter.

In this cruel world, he has seen too many lives fall.
