Chapter 122: Crossing the Street
Lynn has never experienced real urban street fighting, but in the period of the "Vampire" commando headquarters, he learned some from the training course, learned some from the staff work, and then simulated thinking more in his mind, and summed up some tricks to increase the chance of survival: as a defensive side, you can walk the alley and never walk the street, you can drill into the sewer and never walk the ground, it is better to be able to penetrate the house, unless it happens that a cannonball happens to come in, otherwise ordinary bullets will not hurt.
It was in accordance with these rules of survival that Lynn led his team to escort high-level female war correspondents with little combat effectiveness, and crossed two blocks in a twist and turn, and the trip went smoothly for more than half of the trip. Then walk down an alley to the end, huh? You have to cross a big road four or five meters wide to get to the opposite block.
It seems that it has been less than an hour since the Soviets broke through the outer defensive line, and at this time the city is full of gunfire, and Lynn, who is determined to protect himself, is much more careful than usual, he took out the battle sketch to determine his position, and then leaned his back against the corner, took out the rearview mirror, lowered it to a height about the knee level, and leaned out very gently and slowly.
The car mirror is different, and you can see the whole street at a glance. There were barricades on the other side of the intersection, sandbags, door panels, heavy furniture, and so on, which were more than a man high, and many German soldiers wearing steel helmets with large ears opened fire in front of them, and the remains of the dead who had not yet had time to be transported were lying on the ground, and there were also defensive firing positions on the balconies and windows on the second and third floors of the street.
In this way, although the Soviets have invaded the city, at least this section of the street is still under their own control. Without further ado, Lynn turned to the four men and one woman following behind and said, "Go one by one, remember, rush as fast as you can!" ”
"I'll go first!"
Wolfrum shouted manly, but Lynn was not in the habit of letting his men take risks to explore the way, and he reached out to stop the veteran: "Your task is to protect Comrade Eva, understand?" ”
Wolfrum nodded vigorously.
Lynn glanced at Eva. Votridge, the senior war correspondent, was flushed with a little panting from running all the way, but she was still calm.
"After I passed, Gordon, Eva, Marcos, Carl, Anton, one after the other!"
With that, Lynn took a small breath and rushed out with bated breath. The sky was still gloomy, but suddenly from the small alley to the open road, the sight still felt like it was suddenly bright. Carrying a battery box, two shell guns, two anti-tank grenades, and a large amount of ammunition, the newly promoted SS corporal was carrying more than sixty pounds. With his head down and his waist bent, the speed of crossing the road even felt slow by himself, but fortunately he reached the opposite side of the street unharmed, and walked a few steps against the wall to another alley. Leaned in directly with the gun, but there was no one, and hurriedly turned around and beckoned.
Wolfrum rushed out without hesitation, in the same posture as Lynn. At this time, Eva actually pouted and followed. Her movements were a little funny, and she hadn't put on a steel helmet yet—and Lynn regretted it at this point: she had gotten this girl a steel helmet if she had known.
Seeing that Wolfrum had already come over and Eva was still in the middle of the road, Lynn suddenly heard the sound of bullets flying by at close range, and was immediately shocked. Before the human nerves were able to react in any way, the bullets hit the ground, instantly stirring up small clouds of dust. Although Aiwa was not injured, because the impact point was too close, the woman still screamed in shock, and her hands and feet were suddenly confused.
Lynn had no time to explode the bullet, seeing that the bullet was coming diagonally upwards, he pulled the bolt back with lightning speed in his left hand, and then dodged outward, and picked up the assault rifle diagonally - the infrared telescope could certainly be used during the day, but everything was a monotonous color. Before he had time to take a closer look, he opened fire on the building on the other side of the street. Because it is a half-squat position, the center of gravity is not very stable, and it is almost out of balance under the action of recoil. After firing a dozen bullets like this, it was estimated that Eva should also go to the side of the street, so she hurriedly dodged and retracted.
It was too late, but it was too fast, and a shuttle of bullets whizzed in, hitting the corner of the wall and the road beside Lynn, and the nearest was less than five centimeters. He was immediately glad, and turned his head to see that Wolfrum had dragged Eva to his side.
"One after the other, don't you understand?" Lynn said helplessly and annoyed as she stared at Eva. After the scene just now, although the female war reporter still tried her best to maintain a calm, calm and tenacious expression, her big eyes were full of horror.
Let Wolfrum lead Eva into the alley, Lynn made a pause gesture to the private Tanze who was looking at him at the opposite alley, judging from the shooting just now, the enemy was now somewhere opposite the street, and they probably expected that there were German soldiers crossing the street behind them, so they still pointed their guns here. The reason why Lynn asked everyone to cross the street one after another instead of swarming was afraid of this situation, but he didn't expect that the Soviet soldiers who followed the attack had really occupied some commanding heights, and it was no wonder that the German soldiers on the other side of the barricade were sticking to obstacles that were enough to block the bullets.
There were still Tanze, Tschmel and Graf on the other side, and it was not safe to leave them alone, given that the Soviets had already invaded the city. Lynn thought about it, the weapon he used was not as beautiful as in the movie, and the other party was not using a sniper rifle but a light machine gun or submachine gun that fired continuously, and the long-range shooting accuracy was not very high, but it had the ability to shoot continuously. After taking a closer look at the layout of the streets on both sides of this stretch of street, Lynn raised her left hand and raised three fingers towards Marcos opposite, retracting one every second, and finally forming a fist, meaning "look at my gestures, count down to three seconds".
This was the tactical sign language that Lynn had learned from the "Vampire" commandos, but in addition to such things as "Prepare for battle", "Advance lightly", "Flank Outflank", etc., all of which were taught to his four soldiers at Fort Oranien - except Mr. Wolfrum, who did not remember it well.
See Marcos. Tanze nodded vigorously, and Lynn froze, pulling out the Lucky Reflector, poking out the corner of the wall at a height close to the ground. Opposite the barricades were a number of buildings that had collapsed or were almost collapsed, and about two hundred meters further there were a few three- or four-story buildings that Lynn had just shot at. After a closer look, I saw a figure shaking in one of the buildings.
Come on!
Lynn secretly cheered himself up in his heart, quickly put down the reflector, stretched out three fingers with his left hand again, signaling Tan Ze to start counting, and he picked up the assault rifle, flashed out half a small position, aimed at the building he had just observed, and fired four bullets in a burst manner, and quickly closed his body. The bullets from the opposite side followed, and it was at this moment that Tanze sped up in a hundred-meter sprint, so fast that he didn't have time to turn on this side of the street, and simply rushed straight into and out of the shop where the window panes were gone—from there to Lynn's position was about three meters, because the corner of the alley was slightly protruding, so that walking against the wall would not be shot by the enemy.
Tanze was fast enough that the enemy's bullets just hit the road in vain, and even his hair didn't get anywhere, but the next two, Titchmel and Graff, Lynn was worried about whether they would make it through.
Suddenly, Tanze walked around to the back door of the store—it was in the alley. Then, he walked over to Lynn's side.
"Sir!"
The young private had an irrepressible excitement, and the venture to rush under the enemy's guns was exciting enough, but if one was not careful, it could be a corpse in the streets.
"What's in the store?".
"Huh?" Probably didn't expect Lynn to ask such a question, Tan Ze was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Nothing, empty!" ”
Lynn, of course, wasn't looking for money or food, but rather something she could use to attract the attention of her enemies or block bullets. But if you look at the barricades at the corner of the street, you can see why the shops are empty.
"Hell!"
Lynn said as he gave Carl on the other side. Techmel made a "pause and wait" gesture. It can be seen that the 16-year-old boy is very nervous, he must not fall down when crossing the street again!
In a very tangled mood, Lynn looked behind her, and it was obviously not appropriate for Wolfrum and Eva to wait in the alley, and it was obviously not appropriate to let the two of them go to the pick-up location. What to do?
After waiting for a while, the density of gunfire from the alley increased sharply, and Lynn pricked up his ears to hear someone shouting "hit the tank" in German, and also faintly heard the dull roar of an engine, followed by two explosions, probably German soldiers guarding the barricade using anti-tank weapons to stop the Soviet tanks. Thinking that the explosive weapon might produce a large amount of gunsmoke, Lynn hurriedly picked up the reflector from the ground and took a look, sure enough!
Covered by the fierce gunfire on the barricade, Lynn was not worried that the Soviet shooters would make predictions based on their voices, and shouted to the opposite side: "Karl, Anton, come here!" Instantly! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn took out his gun without hesitation and shot at the building opposite. With his burst accuracy, each bullet basically hit the window where the figure was seen shaking. Perhaps they were dodging their own bullets, or perhaps they were too affected by the battle at the street to take care of their own little fish and shrimp, the Soviet shooters on the opposite side did not fire at Lynn in time, and Titchmel and Graff each bent down the street at the right time, and rushed straight into the store like Tanze.
What Lynn didn't expect was that this time, Tan Ze didn't know where he got the courage, and actually dodged out with his Mauser sniper rifle in his backhand and fired a shot, which quickly shrank back again......
Call...... Turning back into the corner, Lynn finally let out a sigh of relief. It seems that this street rat is really not good to be! There are still two blocks to go, and at least one main road has to be crossed, and if you have to play like this, you will have to collapse before you reach your destination. Fortunately, the two young privates who are not yet 18 years old have improved their performance, which is probably the biggest gain after zero casualties!
The gunfire at the mouth of the alley gradually weakened, and suddenly, a violent bang hit, and Lynn turned an eye to see that a strong air flow mixed with all kinds of debris and smoke swept across the street, and the barricades were probably gone. At this moment, Lynn quickly picked up the reflector, burrowed into the alley, and ran after his companions quickly...... (To be continued.)
