Walking diagonally across the fork with an assault rifle, Lynn did not flick the remains of the Soviet soldier with his leather boots, but carefully stepped through it. When they were alive, they fought bloodily for their beliefs, endured hardships that ordinary people could not bear, and faced hardships that civilians could not imagine, and their death was the end, and after that, they deserved the most basic respect.

Seeing the remnants of this tragic battle, the Soviet colonel, who was escorted forward by Brück and Techmel, was indignantly invulnerable, and Lynn simply did not ask Wolfrum. After making sure that there were no enemy left nearby, he turned back to the German soldier who was supporting his wounded companion and asked, "How did you get here?" Do you know the way back to the city? ”

The soldier replied in a hoarse and deep voice: "We belong to the 18th Armored Infantry Division, and we were ordered to guard the sewers near the entrance of Graka Street, and were instructed to detonate cloth explosives to block the sewer fork once we could not resist the Soviet attack, but I don't know if the detonator was malfunctioning or the detonator failed, the explosives did not explode, and we could not hold the position, so we had to fight and retreat, and now there are only the two of us left with 9 people!" ”

Knowing the pain of losing her companion, Lynn nodded helplessly in sympathy.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we're not familiar with the sewer lines nearby......" The soldier said as he suddenly heard an extremely violent explosion in the sewers, causing the walls to tremble and fine pieces of cement and dirt falling from overhead, making it feel like the place could collapse at any moment.

"We planted the explosives?" The soldier was surprised and replied to himself, "No, probably not, the Soviets wouldn't do that!" So, what are the other forks? ”

Encountering such a situation for the first time, Lynn hurriedly asked, "What?" ”

In the darkness, I couldn't see the soldier's expression, but I could feel the apprehension and loss in his tone: "At least 100 pounds of Lie Surname explosives can cause such an effect, sir, it's enough to collapse a fork in the eight paths!" ”

In the training camp of the "Vampire" commando, Lynn received very limited professional training in explosives, but at least he knew that the explosives used in the first time with the night combat assault team to attack the Soviet camp were 2 kilograms of TNT, which was enough to paralyze a T-34 from the hatch, and 100 pounds was roughly equivalent to 45 kilograms.

Without waiting for Lynn to speak, the soldier asked himself again, "Could it be Heideslink's troops?" That's the key passage to the division headquarters! ”

Hearing the "division headquarters", Lynn couldn't help but think of the previous paratrooper destroyer division, and remembered Jonas and several other soldiers who were seriously injured and unconscious in that battle, and didn't know what their current condition was. However, judging from the current situation in Berlin, the field hospital may be seriously short of personnel, equipment and medicines.

A moment later, the dark world trembled and shook again in the same violent explosion, and it was obvious that the number of fragments falling from above increased, and Lynn did not want to interfere with the judgment of the surname because of simple nervousness, but in less than half a minute, the third explosion caused an even more violent shaking, although the soldiers did not shout in panic, but anyone would feel frightened and uneasy in such a situation.

"Did you plant explosives at all the forks leading to the city?" Lynn was unwilling. If they were to return to the surface, given the light from the fire, they would not be less risky than in this sewer.

After a moment's hesitation, the soldier reluctantly admitted: "I think so!" Sir! Absolutely! ”

"Damn it" gradually became Lynn's most used mantra, and he bit his lip in confusion in the face of the extremely disadvantageous situation: there was no time to grope for a way back to the rear in this sewer! Weighing the pros and cons, he made a very difficult choice: "Man, take us up to the nearest passageway!" ”

Despite Lynn's determination, the soldier of the 18th Armored Infantry Division had no confidence in the labyrinthine sewers, and he reluctantly replied, "I'll try it!" ”

With no other choice, Lynn beckoned Brewer to explore the front and told the rest of the brothers to follow one by one, while she helped support the wounded soldier while he was already carrying the equipment of the night battle. In the midst of adversity, the group walked forward in the dark, and only after two small forks, there was a scene of collapse and blockage in front of them. They had to turn back to the previous fork, change to a sewer branch that could only accommodate one person head-on, and go forward a few dozen meters, and when they saw that they were about to reach the next fork, they heard a large number of footsteps mixed with the sound of talking in front of them - not German, of course.

Just by the voice, they could judge that the other party was outnumbered, and Lynn and the others did not need to take risks, and decisively turned back again. By the time they had crossed the fork in the road where the previous battle had taken place, it had taken them almost an hour to go around and around. In a direction that seemed to be farther and farther away from the city center, the sewers were no longer blocked, but without stairs and ropes, they had to find shafts to clear the blockages. Having discovered the first one, Brewer volunteered to climb up to find the way, but eventually came back with a gloomy look and reported that it was a battlefield full of bullets!

Listening to the extremely dense gunfire, Lynn also guessed this situation, and although she was anxious to find a way out, she still tried her best to keep her sane train of thought. Turn on the flashlight, use the military compass to discern the direction, and turn right at the next fork to the west. Next, as long as there was no way out, he firmly led the team forward, crossed the battle ground full of corpses, passed through the muddy and difficult silted road, and the persistent investment finally paid off, and another shaft, Brewer went up and did not come down again, but shouted loudly with irrepressible excitement: "Guys, it's our people, it's safe!" ”

At first hearing this, Lynn was really relieved, considering that there were two wounded people who were difficult to climb alone and a Soviet prisoner whose arms were discarded, he calmly made arrangements: let Brück and Tanze go up to find the rope first, and then pull up and push down one after another to get the two wounded soldiers up, and then tie the Soviet colonel with a rope to tie it firmly, and let the soldiers above directly work together to hang him out. It wasn't until everyone was properly and reasonably returned to the surface that he left the dark world that almost killed him these few times.

The shaft mouth is a small alley, and the tall buildings on either side have collapsed, but the ruins are still nearly two stories high, except for the 11th Night Task Force and the two Army soldiers they met along the way, as well as several "large-eared steel helmets" wearing pea combat uniforms and Army insignia. As Lynn poked his head out of the well, a comfortable-looking young non-commissioned officer calmly stretched out his right black-gloved hand - and under his strong tugging, Sergeant SS, who had been riding a roller coaster through the night, returned to the surface smoothly.

It didn't take much physical effort to climb the shaft, but Lynn couldn't stop gasping for air. This night in Berlin naturally stayed awake all night, and the canopy that had lost its primary color was still a dull orange, so that the line of sight was beyond the constraints of the night, and standing on the ground could see a figure a hundred meters away. But looking around, Lynn couldn't find the traces of the famous buildings in his memory from the ruins, and was silent for a long time, only sighing "Thank God".

"This Soviet officer...... Is it a colonel? The young army non-commissioned officer asked in surprise, knowing that during the Battle of Berlin, the German army and the Soviet army were at an extreme disadvantage in terms of strength and equipment, and the only battles in the urban area were desperately resistant.

Hearing this question, Lynn finally woke up from this trance and quickly realized his current priority. He glanced at the collar badge exposed from the collar of the opponent's combat uniform, it was an army sergeant.

"Oh, yes, captured on the side of the Soviet front, excuse me...... Is this still part of the 8th Zone? ”

"8th Zone?" The young army non-commissioned officer was still surprised, but after all, it was much more slight than seeing the Soviet colonel, he shook his head and sighed: "The 8th defense zone almost no longer exists!" Most of the remnants of the troops there have been withdrawn, and this is the 6th defense zone! ”

Hiss...... Lynn couldn't help but gasp, it was only a few hours later, and the 8th defense zone was occupied by Soviet troops? And what about the former Sector Command, as well as the 9th Paratrooper Destroyer Division and other units that held out there?

The sergeant was not puzzled by Lynn's reaction, he turned sideways and pointed into the distance and said, "Our defense headquarters is on the right side of the street, and it is less than two kilometers away, do you need me to send someone to lead the way?" ”

"It better be!" Lynn replied, "The wounded need to be treated, and we need to replenish our ammunition and energy!" ”

"That's easy!" The sergeant snapped his fingers and called to a soldier not far away, "Hank, you take them to the defense headquarters, go and go back quickly!" ”

When he returned to the ground, he felt the care of his friendly comrades, and Lynn's depressed mood eased a little, and he was about to say thank you, when he suddenly heard a short and sharp "whoosh", and suddenly felt that the hairs on his back were standing on end.

The end of the strange whistle was still a "boom" explosion, which sounded not close or far, and most of the soldiers, including Lynn, were accustomed to Soviet artillery fire, so they just subconsciously retracted their heads and upper bodies, turned their heads around, and then all of them were shocked: the shells that fell on the top of the ruins actually lifted up countless fragments, they were like rocks bursting up at the moment of a volcanic eruption, flying high, scattered in all directions like flowers scattered by the goddess, considering that these were all steel sections, cement blocks and other residues on the collapsed buildings, Either it has a weight that cannot be underestimated, or it has terrifying edges and corners, and it is endowed with great kinetic energy by the exploding cannonball, if a person is hit, even if his life is saved, he may be seriously injured!

Faced with this unexpected situation, all Lynn could do was yell "run", but this time the army sergeant next to him took the lead, he shouted "run with your head down", and pushed Lynn hard. Lynn staggered forward a few steps, and was afraid that the Soviet colonel, who had been captured with great difficulty, would make a mistake at this time, so he hurriedly looked back, but fortunately, the guy was still bound by ropes, and Brück was dragging him like a bull and running desperately, and this guy probably wanted to survive until the end of the war to take revenge on these German soldiers who bullied him and shot his comrades. As for the other soldiers, under the instinct of survival and the reminder of the army sergeant, one by one they bent down and ran desperately forward.

Countless pieces of debris flew down in a huge dispersion area, and there was no way to dodge even if people were agile. Lynn was hit by a stone in the shoulder, Lynn was very painful, but fortunately, the steel helmet and the battery on his back blocked a lot of pieces for him, but he was worried that the night vision equipment would be damaged, and he was so worried that he almost fell down with garlic under his feet, and then he was hit hard on the ass for a second time, and finally he didn't carry it, and he stumbled and fell. Fortunately, this super hailstorm came and went quickly, and Lynn hurriedly turned around and said, "Are you okay?" ”

This time, the young army sergeant didn't take precedence over him in words, but this guy was the first to get up and dodge. At this time, Lynn finally heard someone shouting "tank" nearby, and then looked in the direction of the sergeant's run, and it turned out that a tall anti-tank gun was hidden in a gray camouflage net next to the ruins where it was hit. If I guessed correctly, it should be an 88-mm heavy anti-tank gun known as the "tank opener"!
