At 4 a.m. on December 12, 1942, a convoy full of commandos began heading towards Lilpok. The commandos were about twenty miles from the border.

This time the atmosphere was a little tense. In some of the previous skirmishes, the assault team was not expected to meet resistance, and if there were, it would be minor. But this offensive Lilpock commandos did not receive such assurances. The commandos all sensed danger in the air.

This feeling seemed to be confirmed, as the commandos heard a large group of planes rumbling past in the dark night sky. The commandos looked at each other, trying to read each other's expressions. Heisenberg clutched his K98K rifle tightly, his knuckles turning white. Heisenberg silently checked his equipment in his mind.

In addition to the normal equipment, Heisenberg stuck an S24 long-handled grenade in his belt. But whether it was a rifle or a grenade, Heisenberg wished he wasn't forced to use them.

Heisenberg prayed silently, hoping that the commandos would be safe. He also prayed for his family and comrades. He closed his eyes, but his lips twitched slightly. Heisenberg was sure that some of his comrades were also praying for themselves at the moment.

Approaching Lilpock, one of the infantrymen in the squad suddenly stood up and ran to the back of the truck. Sergeant Keller ordered him to return to his seat, and he leaned against the back of the carriage and vomited.

"I'm sorry, sergeant." The soldier said. He sat back in his seat, looking a little ashamed, "I'm just a little scared, sir. ”

The sergeant said to the people in the car: "Fear, good for you!" It will keep you alive! Just don't be overwhelmed by it. Keep your head above water. Everything just comes in the same way as it did in training. ”

"Understood, sir!" The people in the car said in unison.

At around 4:50, the assault team continued to advance. Other divisions followed behind the assault team. An armored division served as the vanguard of this blitzkrieg. Advance in front of a convoy of trucks. In addition to the infantry divisions behind them, Heisenberg saw many tanks and artillery, but Heisenberg was certain that it was a large offensive force

Heisenberg tried to hear something through the sound of countless engines, but found nothing.

After a long period of calm, the assault team heard the sounds of fighting in the distance. At this moment, the sun has not yet appeared. So, a few soldiers nervously looked out through the back of the carriage. They saw about five trucks stopped, and the soldiers on board jumped out of the cars. Rush in the direction of the gunshot. Heisenberg estimated that the commando trucks would be hit at any moment, but this did not happen, and the car continued to move forward. Soon, those vehicles that had stopped were left behind. It's getting out of sight. The sounds of the battle can still be heard clearly. Heisenberg was sure that a fierce battle would soon take place here

After marching for more than an hour, the convoy turned north. The glimmer of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, and the soldiers on board shivered as the cold morning air blew into the back of the truck

After an hour and a half of driving north, the car finally stopped.

"Get out of the car!" Sergeant Keller said.

All the soldiers stood up and jumped out of the car with their respective weapons. At this time, Heisenberg saw the Panzer Division in front of them. Most of the tanks had left the road, they scattered. A mighty tide of tanks was formed. A kilometer ahead, Heisenberg saw a Russian army, numbering about a thousand. They searched for seclusion behind hills, trees, and houses. Many of them carried heavy weapons, such as machine guns and light anti-tank guns. Heisenberg also saw some Russian soldiers on horseback, and behind this Russian army there were a large number of horses. He judged that this was one of the famous Russian cavalry divisions.

His sergeant had previously told them that all Russian cavalry units were elite units, and that they were better trained and weaponized than most Russian troops.

The Russians opened fire, and bullets, shells, and anti-tank shells rained down on the tanks in front of the assault team.

Most bullets either missed or were bounced off the tank's armor plates. The sound of these weapons firing at the same time was quite alarming, and the clanging of bullets ricocheting off the armor plates of the tank was clearly discernible. The flickering of thousands of gun barrels was clearly visible as the Russians fired at the assault team, like the flashes of a large number of small cameras.

Sergeant Keller shouted at the commandos, "Disperse behind the tanks and advance." Free Shoot and Destroy Enemies! Use tanks for concealment! ”

Heisenberg did just that. He lowered his head and ran behind a tank. The tanks did not advance too fast, they fired with 20 mm guns and 7.92 mm caliber machine guns. Heisenberg didn't look at the effect of their shots, but he could imagine that they must have been quite tragic. There were also several medium tanks in the tank ranks, which were firing from slightly larger 37 mm guns. Several mortar and machine-gun crews set up their weapons and opened fire on the Russians.

Hundreds of German tanks poured forward in a dense formation, shaking the mountains for a while. When those medium tanks opened fire, the recoil of the guns made the bodies tremble.

Heisenberg remembered his mother's warning – don't be a hero. Try to stay in a safe place.

Suddenly, a thought reminded him that he was a sniper.

Heisenberg knew that he would be safer at a greater distance, and would not have to rush too close to the enemy, which would expose his fort to terrible fire. Thinking of this, Heisenberg ran towards Sergeant Keller and shouted, "Sir, we can kill them here!" ”

Keller thought for a moment, then shouted to the class, "Spread out and start shooting!" ”

Heisenberg motioned for a few friends to come with Heisenberg. Edim, Misha, two machine-gun squads and a mortar squad followed behind Heisenberg. The assault team quickly ran to the side, hiding behind a small mound. Heisenberg heard several bullets whizzing over his head, and Heisenberg quickly lay down and hid. Several other snipers in the squad also went into hiding.

"Remember the target of the first attack!" Heisenberg shouted, and several snipers nodded. They all looked a little scared, but everyone was doing what they were supposed to do.

The three snipers lie on the ground, aiming their respective rifles at their targets. Two machine-gun groups mounted their MG-34 on a tripod and were ready to open fire. At this moment, Heisenberg saw that several other heavy weapons teams and snipers had also dispersed, and were doing the same thing. He saw a soldier carrying an MG-34 running for shelter, only to be hit in the thigh by a bullet. He screamed and fell to the ground.

Heisenberg tried to save him, but before he could do anything, Misha rushed out of the city and dragged the wounded soldier behind their hidden mound. Heisenberg thought that Misha was brave enough, because at this moment, bullets were flying everywhere.

"Oh my God! I've been shot! The wounded soldier shouted.

Misha took off her uniform and tied the wounded soldier's thigh tightly. The fellow was obviously in a lot of pain, but he knew that Misha had saved his life.

"Medic!" One of the machine gunners in Heisenberg's squad shouted. But they didn't see any medics rushing to help.

Heisenberg's father searched the battlefield with the scope on his rifle. The Russians suffered casualties, but they held their ground. German tanks opened fire and rumbled towards them. He saw many Russians knocked down by machine-gun bullets.

Heisenberg found an anti-tank gun group, they had a small-caliber gun, probably a 20-mm anti-tank gun. They opened fire quickly, reloading the chamber with ammunition. He aimed the reticle of the scope at the gunner and pulled the trigger. He held his breath as the heavy K98K fired a bullet.

About a second later, the bullet hit the target. When Heisenberg aimed, the reticle was slightly higher and the bullet landed a little more towards him. He saw a dark red bullet hole in the chest of the hapless gunner, and he fell.

Heisenberg looked at him with his scope, and the Russian writhed in pain and screamed. Blood spurted into the air. One Russian soldier tried to comfort him, and the other continued to operate the anti-tank gun, but he apparently took more time. He had loaded the shells and was ready to fire again.

Heisenberg pulled the trigger again. The second gunner fell screaming. Heisenberg was shocked that it was so easy to take a life. All you have to do is aim and shoot, just like you would on a sunny afternoon shooting at a shooting range. Bang! Someone was killed! Heisenberg shuddered, wondering if his head was exposed in the crosshairs of some Russian soldier's scope. Heisenberg ducked behind the knoll.

"What's the matter, Heisenberg?" Edim asked, continuing to aim and shoot.

"I shot two." Heisenberg whispered.

"Shot at this distance?" Edim stared at Heisenberg's scope: "This is your scope?" ”

"Yes."

"Well done, we've got to keep fighting. Everyone is counting on the help of the commandos. As soon as he finished speaking, a tank exploded. But it wasn't just an explosion, because the ammunition in the tank exploded. Flames erupted from holes and cracks in the hull.

Heisenberg was sure that all the crew members had been killed.

He knew that Edim was right. If all the tanks of the assault team were destroyed, there would be no danger between the German infantry and the Russians. Heisenberg returned to his firing position and searched again with his scope.

Heisenberg searched for snipers among the enemy. Heisenberg didn't want to be targeted by any long-range shooter's crosshairs. The Russians were nine hundred meters away, but from the scope they seemed to be only one hundred and fifty meters. It's like walking down the street looking for a building. (To be continued......)
