Chapter 36: The Duel

A week later, Xia Ming had traveled almost all over the occupied industrial area during this time. Killed at least 60 more snipers. Helped allies break through a lot of previously insurmountable nails.

It dealt a great blow to the Soviet strategy of constantly depleting the German army through the complex terrain on the defensive side of the industrial zone.

"Bang!"

At this time, in a basement, a short Soviet commander slammed the table.

The political commissars in front of him were all on pins and needles.

"What's going on?? The industrial zone in the north of us is constantly broken through by them! My tractor captain and Red October are running out of steam.

There are still our tanks being assembled, and our workers working around the clock. If you lose it, I'll shoot you all before the leader shoots me!" ”

Khrushchev roared frantically at everyone.

Originally, since the establishment of the heroic sniper represented by Vasily, a large number of outstanding soldiers volunteered to form a sniper team and go to the industrial zone, and the good news was frequent, which greatly boosted morale.

In a short period of time, a steel barrier was erected, and the German army fell into the quagmire of chaotic fighting, and it was miserable.

Recently, however, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Every day, the news of the annihilation of the sniper team comes in, and you must know that it is not easy to cultivate these elite sought-after.

The most important thing is not how many people died, but the morale of the other party gradually recovered. They are no longer afraid of the cold guns in those corners, and they move forward bravely.

On the contrary, his team is about to find the elite soldiers who can be ten of them. I used to be proud of being a sniper, but now there is a fear of spreading.

As an opportunist who relied on his keen sense of smell to succeed, Khrushchev had already smelled bad signs.

"Report!" A young commissar gritted his teeth.

"Say!"

"According to the report, we lost 23 good sniper teams in one week. Almost all of them were shot in the head. So we suspect that the Germans have secretly mobilized an elite team to secretly target our snipers. ”

"What kind of team? Is there a specific number and list? Khrushchev walked up to the commissar.

"Eye, not yet."

"Since there isn't, let's check it now! Give you two days, and if you can't find it, shoot yourself in the head, and don't let me see you again! ”

"Yes!" The commissar was so frightened that he quickly walked out of the room.

"Any other suggestions? Gentlemen. If you can't tell, shoot yourself now! ”

"Report! I, I propose to let Vasily deal with him. ”

"Hmm... Yes, Vasily is still alive, he always works miracles. Give him orders at once to find and destroy the German snipers as soon as possible. He's our hero, and he can do it, right? ”

"Yes, sir!" Several people also spoke in unison. Now Vasily has become a lifesaver for them, and they can only hold on to it.

......

Xia Ming, as always, sat on the sofa in the division headquarters and browsed the information by himself.

Today, he didn't find any reports on the activities of the opponent's snipers, and it seems that his strikes in the past week have made the other side know that it hurts.

A killer who constantly strikes them in the shadows would be terrifying for normal people. Especially after seeing that his companions were shot in the head.

If Vasily had not died, it is believed that it would have appeared soon.

He must still be alive, otherwise his mission should have been accomplished.

Xia Ming thought of this and nodded lightly.

Now he has become a hero in everyone's eyes at the command post of the division headquarters, and the sofa next to him has been empty, because no one dares to disturb him.

His current identity is known to most of the officers.

General Paulus's personally appointed envoy, his special assignment is believed to be understood by the discerning people.

The commander of the separate assault battalion, according to the statistics so far, has killed more than 400 enemy troops.

Once destroyed four tanks on his own, the first to lead a team to break through the blockade and enter the city center. Completed dozens of assault missions.

....

His current achievements have been passed down in the upper echelons. It is rumored that the head of Lian Yuan knew about him and was very excited. You must know that the battle of Stalingrad is so anxious that the army needs a real hero too much.

In fact, the reason why there has been no hype until now is because they are waiting for him to return from the mission and kill the model of the Soviet army. On the one hand, I tried to help him keep it secret, and on the other hand, I was afraid that if he failed, publicity in advance would undoubtedly dig my own grave.

If you blow so badly and die in the hands of the enemy, the blow to the entire army will be too great.

Xia Ming naturally didn't know these things at this time, and in order to reduce his pressure, it was impossible for someone to tell him. Anyway, he always felt a little uncomfortable in this division headquarters in the past two days, and the officers around him looked at him strangely.

Some people even trembled with excitement when they saw him staring at them, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Hello, sir." Just when Xia Ming was a little irritated when he looked at the information, a pleasant female voice came.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Xia Ming smiled slightly, the female captain in front of him was very good, but he didn't have time to appreciate the beauty now.

"Here's our latest report for you, and we've found a suspicious target." The female lieutenant watched the commander read the information she handed over very carefully, and her heart couldn't help beating violently.

“.... You guys did a great job. Xia Ming looked at it for a while, his eyes instantly ignited his fighting spirit, and this time he felt that the target really took the initiative to attack.

He had a hunch that this time it must be Vasily.

Thinking of this, he picked up his equipment and hurriedly left the command post of the division headquarters.

“... Wow, did you see that? Major Xia Ming praised me! After the female captain saw Xia Ming leave, she jumped up excitedly.

"Should we find a company to protect the Major??" At this time, a male officer looked at the gate with some concern.

"Nonsense, you don't believe the major. This time it is a duel between the heroes of the two armies, and our honor is at stake. He's going to win. ”

"Well, let's wait for the good news." Several officers didn't even have the intention of fighting at this time, they just wanted to know if Major Xia Ming could return triumphantly.

.....

An hour later, Xia Ming came to the place where the battle report occurred.

It was a small power plant that was trying to restore some of its electricity after the German occupation.

Due to the fact that the wires laid by the sappers were broken several times and two sappers were lost to rush to repair, they had to ask for help from the headquarters.

Xia Ming sat in a small room and pouted slightly with the broken wire.

This marksmanship is really sharp, and even Vasily is a very good sniper if it is not Vasily who interrupts it.

The location where the power lines are laid nearby must be the dilapidated buildings that line up within 500 meters of the surrounding area.

This is clearly a declaration of war against him, and there is no life or death here...

Thinking of this, Xia Ming casually threw away the wire and said to the officers and soldiers in front of him: "You guys continue to work, I'll change positions." ”

After 15 minutes...

In a building opposite the power station, four Soviet soldiers were nervously preparing in a corner.

A bearded man crouched in the corner of the wall, and through a gap in a brick, he very cleverly set up a camouflaged rifle and looked out with a scope. Not far away, a very young warrior set up his gun in another place, motionless.

In the back sat a young soldier in his 20s, who had just made a portable stove and placed it in the middle. He was handsome, and there was a faint murderous aura in his eyes.

At the end, a female soldier leaned against the wall and held her rifle, also motionless.

Xia Ming would be surprised to see her here, because she was actually Anna. At this time, she had already put on the army uniform of the Soviet army, and her face was covered with a layer of frost.
