A large group of well-armed and heavily armed soldiers were buried alive with closed doors?

From Lynn's point of view, it was no longer enough to ask Noah to fire a few shots with an anti-tank bazooka to keep the cement blocks that blew up the entrance to the mall. The main reason for the chaotic and panicked situation just now is people's nervousness and fear. After stabilizing the crowd, he calmly proceeded down to the entrance of the mall, and carefully observed the situation by the light of a flashlight: the collapse of the cement beams was the main cause of the blockage, and the load-bearing pillars and walls on both sides were fine. However, since the superstructure had collapsed, removing the concrete blocks would only cause more debris to roll down, which was why the soldiers had tried in their hectic frenzy to no avail. Calmly judging the situation, Lynn, who was not an engineering major, easily made the right decision - to use the beam at the entrance as the boundary, to move only the lower part, and to try not to move the bulky cement blocks.

The incessant rumbling outside was still like the next violent rainstorm, resisting the fear from within, and the soldiers followed Lynn's command to take turns in battle, using sapper shovels, rifles, and gun belts as tools to gradually clear the large and small cement blocks blocking the entrance, and Lynn kept an eye on the air conditions in the underground mall. Over time, the cloudiness in the air increased dramatically, but there was no severe hypoxia, which made him more certain of the existence of the vents. So he asked Brück and Wolfrum to take their flashlights to find the ventilation ducts, and from time to time he himself went into battle to carry the stones. In this way, more than half an hour later, the light outside was already faintly visible in the cracks of the cement blocks, and the shelling of the Soviet army stopped at this time.

Knowing that the offensive of the Soviet ground forces was about to begin, Lynn was secretly a little anxious, more than 100 soldiers here are likely to belong to the important reserve force of the barricade defense line, if they are trapped here for a long time, maybe the German troops on the other side of the barricade will be forced to abandon their positions because of continuous attrition, and even if they successfully get out of the predicament, facing the Soviet tanks and armored vehicles alone, the soldiers may not have the determination to fight to the death.

The cold "clang" brought a second potential way of life for the German soldiers trapped in the underground mall - the vents. It was only after Brück probed that he wanted to climb out of the ventilation duct, and on the way there was a three-metre-long shaft, which was barely enough for one person to pass through, but the walls were so smooth that it was necessary to climb up with a skilled person first, and then use ropes to help others pass through. This is only one part, and it is uncertain whether the exit of this vent will be able to return to the street smoothly, as its exit may be on the top floor of a broken staircase.

Two roads, two hopes, and when the labor force was very abundant, Lynn asked Brück to select a few volunteers from among the soldiers to help, while the rest of the people still carried the cement blocks at the entrance in batches. After such a tireless and long time, a hole the size of a dog's hole was finally dug out under the beam. Fresh air poured in from this "dog hole" along with the sound of gunfire explosions, and the soldiers were both excited and apprehensive: they had left the land of death, but they were going to return to the battlefield that was also full of death.

For the opening that is difficult for adults to pass through, it was suggested to expand it with explosives or grenades, and after being decisively vetoed by Lynn, this guy immediately revealed the rank of "Lieutenant SS". Lynn deliberately didn't use a flashlight to illuminate the guy, but coldly and loudly vetoed it. Seeing that the soldiers around him were completely unsupportive, the lieutenant had no choice but to swallow his anger. Following Lynn's arrangement, the physically energetic "substitute" stepped forward to widen the area in a small area, and then after the difficult attempts of a small soldier, this seemingly very narrow opening finally became an escape route.

Hope brings prestige, and Lynn certainly won't let go of this opportunity to make a name for himself, and he exclaimed, "Brothers, before you leave here, remember me Lynn. Gargo's words: There is no shame in forbearance, but shame on dying in inaction! ”

After that, the soldiers began to drill out of the "dog holes" one by one, and the number of people who gathered at the entrance of the underground mall increased, and the number of people who stayed on the side of the vents to wait in line decreased. However, the passage that Brück and his team managed to explore still had a positive effect on speeding up the evacuation of the soldiers. About twenty minutes later, Lynn, the last person to leave the mall, gloriously slipped out of the hole that just accommodated.

Night had fallen by this time, but as it had been last night and several previous nights, the darkness had been dispelled by the artillery fire, and the whole city seemed to have all its lights turned on, and even the deep alleys were not completely dark. Lynn looked at the time, although it didn't feel like a long time, but nearly two hundred minutes had passed since entering the underground mall, which meant that those SS soldiers had been holding on to the barricades for at least two and a half hours without a part of the reserve soldiers!

The first soldiers to return to the ground followed their officers or companions to their positions, and Lynn stood still for a few minutes before Brück and the last of his soldiers climbed down the ruined wall of a nearby building. At this time, Lynn was both surprised and surprised: in addition to the original six soldiers and the Wehrmacht gunner Herveg, there were actually four soldiers armed with submachine guns or assault rifles who did not leave, and when asked, they learned that they had been scattered in the day's fighting, and before they could find and return to the unit, they volunteered to fight with the cool-headed, quick-thinking young non-commissioned officer.

Suddenly, Lynn seemed to sit back in front of the computer, and saw a line of prompts appear on the screen: A group of griffons admire your name and volunteer to join your army, do you accept? Then, since there are still vacancies in the hero's ranks, why not gladly accept it?

The troops were much larger all at once, but they were still half reduced by the time Lynn led them out of the Army Library the night before. Thinking of the subordinates who had passed away before they could get acquainted, and he couldn't even remember their names, Lynn's mood was like the cold wind blowing through the street, boundless and gloomy.

The brutal battle will not change the rhythm because of the mood of the people, just when Lynn was a little dazed because of the mixed mood of sadness and joy, two loud noises came from the direction of the barricade, the flames that rose into the sky seemed to be as high as three or four stories high, and the rapidly spreading thick black smoke instantly formed two strange mushroom clouds. After that, a figure faintly retreated from the barricade. Out of judgment of the situation, Lynn did not rush forward or retreat, but ordered to "prepare for battle" on the spot.

The fact that there were people retreating, and not a few, showed that the barricade line was indeed about to be overwhelmed - the barricade position, which had been held mainly by Wehrmacht troops, had been held for most of the day after Lynn's arrival, and that it had only been four hours since the Soviet army had attacked the barricade in the present, so could it be said that the SS troops were so ineffective in combat?

Looking wide-eyed, the barricades that had looked quite strong were now completely mutilated, and in the dim light, half of the four anti-tank gun emplacements were gone, and it was not known whether they had been destroyed by Soviet shelling, or whether the gunners had withdrawn and not returned. Thinking of this, Lynn was a little worried that Helwig would go forward and shoot at all costs, but fortunately, the artillery sergeant was still silently following him, empty-handed.

Boom!

Thinking that in such a situation, there was no need for the Soviet infantry to come up with explosives, and the machine guns and submachine guns on the German positions would not allow them to succeed, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in Lynn's head: Did he encounter the legendary "Stalin's hammer"?

In the world of tanks, the prototype of the Soviet S-51 top gun is this self-propelled gun with the full name of the B4 M1931 203 mm howitzer, although it was developed and equipped with the standard weapons of the Soviet army in the early 30s, but as the treasure of the Soviet army headquarters, it got a chance to show its skills in the Battle of Berlin, and it is said that it was also used to shoot directly at the Reichstag...... Standing behind the barricades, Lynn naturally had no way of observing the Soviet heavy artillery in the distance, which was heavily protected, and the huge explosions sounded a total of 23 times before and after, and the earth trembled the same number of times. Under such heavy shelling, the German barricade positions finally turned into real ruins, and immediately after, the figure of Soviet tanks appeared under the fire of the remaining incendiary materials on the ground!

Just as he was about to give the order to retreat, Lynn suddenly heard a strong roar from the ruins behind him, and suddenly, the piercing sound of metal grinding came, and in the stunned eyes of the soldiers, a large creature with a majestic silhouette and a hideous face drove out from the abandoned building on the corner of the street, the hatch of the high turret was lifted, and a tank soldier wearing a boat-shaped hat leaned out and shouted to the soldiers who were retreating backwards or crouching in the rubble:

"Infantry brothers, we will be here to block the enemy's advance, please cover our flanks! Let's fight gloriously for the Führer's victory, for the victory of Germany! ”
