Six hundred and twenty-eight. The most brutal battle

Heisenberg adjusted the scope to this distance until he was confident that the sight's reticle was completely accurate. Heisenberg then aimed at a Russian soldier who was operating a heavy machine gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit him very in the middle of the chest, almost perfectly fitting the aiming point of the reticles.

He fired two more shots, killing two machine gunners. The chamber was empty, so Heisenberg reloaded. As he reloaded, Heisenberg looked back at his wounded comrade behind him. He hugged his leg and bit a stick he had found from the ground in his mouth. Heisenberg could see that he was in terrible pain

Many MG-34 machine gun crews and 80-mm mortar crews opened heavy fire on the Russian ranks with their weapons, with devastating consequences. The machine gun crew fired with short bursts, each of which kicked up a lot of dust, making it easy to see where the bullets landed. They turned their pistols and adjusted the point of the bullets until the dust approached the enemy and appeared behind them.

The mortar crew also adjusted the latitude and longitude of the shell's landing point until they were confident that their shells would hit the enemy. Then they fine-tuned it and immediately launched a saturation bombardment of the target area with artillery shells. The cannon was discharged with a loud noise, and after a few seconds, the shell hit the ground and exploded, causing a violent explosion.

Heisenberg continued to shoot at the Russians, almost without missing a shot. He even felt that Heisenberg could hit them even from a greater distance. The K98K is truly a powerful rifle!

Heisenberg was halfway through the bullets he was carrying, and that's when Heisenberg saw it. The Russians are evacuating their already hopeless positions. They left behind a large number of dead and wounded, as well as a large number of weapons. They galloped towards their horses.

The soldiers on the Heisenberg side kept firing at them. The Russians ran to their mounts and turned over on their horses. Then he rode away. Commando tanks and infantry lined up, rumbling tanks running over wounded Russian soldiers.

This scene disgusted Heisenberg. What's going on here? Heisenberg didn't know what to do. Did the Russians do this to their own people?

Heisenberg helped Misha get the wounded fellow into the ambulance. He asked one of the medics in the car: "What about the wounded Russian soldiers?" ”

The medic looked at him and said in an uncertain tone: "There is an order, not to save the prisoners, only the German soldiers." ”

With that, he turned to examine the wounded soldier's leg. Heisenberg looked at Misha, and Heisenberg knew that he didn't agree with it either. But he didn't say anything.

The assault team made their way through the dead and wounded, and some of the wounded Russian soldiers cried out for help, even though Heisenberg could not understand their language.

Heisenberg, like the rest of the soldiers. Walk past them. At that moment, Heisenberg heard a loud gunshot and realized that a German soldier had shot and killed a wounded Russian soldier. Heisenberg opened his mouth to scream. But Misha put her hand on Heisenberg's shoulder. Urging him to move on.

The assault team chased the retreating Russian cavalry until it reached the outskirts. The tanks in front kept firing, and by the time the assault team saw the walls of Lilpok, the Russian cavalry battalion had been completely wiped out. Along the road, a large number of bloody corpses of people and horses fell. As the assault procession passed, Heisenberg silently shed tears, but he could not help them.

The assault team could hear explosions in the distance of the city, and the Russians' ground forces were either shelled or bombarded. The commando received an order to halt their advance outside the city.

After talking to the second lieutenant commanding the commando team. Sergeant Keller said to the soldiers in the squad, "We will stay here until the enemy's positions in the city are broken." Their artillery positions north of the city have been destroyed. Guys, take a break, you deserve it,"

He smiled at everyone: "Be vigilant, though. The enemy can hide anywhere. ”

This reminder awakened Heisenberg's consciousness. Heisenberg looked around, imagining that the sight's reticle was aimed at his head. He clipped his scope under his arm so that enemy snipers wouldn't find out that he was a sniper as well.

Heisenberg looked at the twelve comrades in the squad, all of them unscathed. Heisenberg hopes that good fortune will continue.

The commandos sat in the grass for several hours. Eventually, Sergeant Keller grew impatient. He ordered the assault team to dig foxholes, sit in the pits and wait. The assault team removed the shovel from the belt and began to dig.

After completing a cozy foxhole, the commandos sat down and talked about the previous battle. The commando team talks about how Misha bravely saved the machine gunner.

"It's nothing," said Misha modestly, "if I were wounded, any of you would have saved Heisenberg in the same way." ”

Edim quietly asked Heisenberg, "Uh, how many did you kill, Heisenberg?" ”

Heisenberg paused for a moment: "I don't know what to say, not many." ”

Edim smiled and said, "Don't do that, Heisenberg, I know that your marksmanship is very good, and I think you have killed at least twelve enemies." ”

"There's nothing to be proud of, Edim."

"Heisenberg, these people are enemies. They're going to kill us all."

The commandos sat silently. Edim could see that Heisenberg was a little distraught. Heisenberg lay down, put his steel helmet over his face and slept for a while. He then unfastened the grocery bag tied behind his belt, which contained cold rations. A military kettle filled with water hangs from the belt next to the grocery bag. Heisenberg took out the food and ate it, including a small piece of bread, butter, honey, cheese, jam and baked potatoes. Heisenberg was also given a box of candy and some tea bags, which Heisenberg kept in stock.

After dark, some of the comrades continued to monitor the movements of the enemy, others tried to sleep for a while. The air was filled with the roar of shells, and it was hard to sleep. Heisenberg had a nightmare about Russian soldiers who had been killed, and commandos walked past them. Heisenberg also saw some heads that had been crushed by tank tracks. Previously, Heisenberg had not noticed this. Heisenberg was awakened, and that night, he could no longer sleep.

The assault team remained in the foxhole until the next morning. The shelling continued all night. Before sunrise, Sergeant Keller woke everyone up: "Wake up, everyone, we're going to clean up those Russians!" ”

The people in the class all woke up, and everyone quickly packed up their equipment. The assault team walked up to the supply truck, where a couple of cooks had prepared greasy sausages and baked muffins over the campfire. Each was given two huge sausages, a muffin, and some ration packs, and the commando bottles were refilled. Seven rounds of ammunition were also given to each person, much to the disappointment of many, because in yesterday's battle, much more bullets were used.

Thirty of the sixty rounds of ammunition had been used by Heisenberg, and now Heisenberg had thirty-seven more rounds.

While having breakfast, the commandos were told that they would storm the city and destroy the enemy. This gave Heisenberg a sense of foreboding. Yesterday's long-range firefight was really scary, but that's what Heisenberg was good at. He knew that the enemy he was going to face today might be only a few houses away from him, or even closer.

Heisenberg bit on the sausage, his hands shaking involuntarily

The commando's armored divisions bypassed the city from the east side, and Heisenberg watched them go northwest. The shells continued to rain down on the city, and the explosions sounded like thunder. The air was filled with smoke, which severely limited aiming at long distances.

Soon, the assault team was advancing into the city. As they advanced, the assault team paused several times, scrutinizing the situation with their scopes.

After the third pause, Heisenberg saw rifle barrels sticking out of several houses.

"Lie down!" Heisenberg shouted, and some of his comrades fell down. Others continued on their way, waving at Heisenberg as if he were going mad. At this moment, a volley of bullets was fired from the house where the Russian soldiers were hiding.

Heisenberg began to return fire. He aimed the reticle in the scope at the top of an outstretched barrel and quickly pulled the trigger. With each shot, Heisenberg could see a rifle hit the ground, either falling out of the window or into the window. After emptying two magazines, Heisenberg remembered that he had twenty-seven rounds left.

Soon, several mortar groups set up 80 mm caliber mortars and opened fire on the houses occupied by the enemy. With a flash of light, an explosion occurred inside a house. Heisenberg felt as if he had seen a green flame burst out of the window, but for a moment, the walls of the house crumbled.

At this time, the heavy machine-gun and mortar fire of the commandos hit the fragile walls of many of the houses where the enemy soldiers were hiding. But Heisenberg also saw several German soldiers wounded, some in the limbs and several in the torso. Heisenberg saw a bullet pierce the throat of a soldier who was feeding the MG-34 machine gun, and he fell down, clutching his throat, and immediately gasped.

Heisenberg then saw another soldier push the wounded soldier aside and begin to feed the MG-34 machine gun, but he lay his head behind the ammunition box to allow himself to be fully concealed. This made the machine-gun shooter's shooting faster and more accurate.

As the battle raged, the dying wounded soldier let out a miserable sound and trembled.

After a large number of houses where Russian soldiers were hiding were razed to the ground, their gunfire also subsided. Heisenberg walked over and took some bullets from a magazine bag hanging from the belt of a fallen German soldier. Heisenberg stuffed his magazine bag and gave Misha five more rounds.

The division had about 1,000 combat groups, totaling more than 20,000 people. At this moment, they used the smoke as a cover to rush to the southern end of the city.

The smoke in the city was caused both by the brief fighting in which they had been involved and by the overnight bombardment by 105mm artillery. (To be continued......)
