The night was not destined to be peaceful. As the gunfire became less and less, the red building was completely occupied by the Germans.

Even the three warriors still dragged on for a long time, because no one knew how many enemies there were.

The night was dark and the visibility was too low. It can only be illuminated by the moonlight and the electric lamp in the hand.

They fought very tenaciously, and they were still fighting in the building until the last moment, after being shot several times. If it weren't for their lack of ammunition, I'm afraid they would have blown up the entire building and killed everyone.

Several young soldiers who took part in the battle fully appreciated the stubborn will of the enemy.

This is war, and this is the fighting spirit of fighting to the death.

Xia Ming also came to the building at this time, looking at the corpses of several enemies that were dragged out and sighed secretly.

They are all true warriors, but in different camps. Although there was a trace of pity in his heart, he would not pity them.

When they go to the battlefield, they are all conscious people, and there is nothing to say.

If he hesitates a little, maybe he will die.

"Xia Ming, you did a very good job. Without you, our losses could have been even greater. Captain West patted Xia Ming's shoulder heavily, it was an honor to have such an excellent soldier.

With his performance all along, it's enough to get a medal.

“... I just did what I had to do. Xia Ming put away his rifle and looked very serious. There are more difficult battles ahead for him.

This can also be regarded as a warm-up for more complex street battles in the future. He felt that he had completely figured it out for more than a month in the rear, and was completely prepared mentally and physically.

In order to make yourself stronger, in order to be able to go back alive, you must be strong. Don't have any illusions, there's no way back.

"Okay, I just want to ask you if you killed all three upstairs??" West observed the situation above in particular, and pulled Xia Ming to the side.

"Yes, sir." Xia Ming felt that there was nothing to hide from this kind of thing, his marksmanship could not be hidden, and there was no need to hide it.

"Good, very good. From today onwards you are our sniper and observer, and I will send a special team to protect your safety. ”

West was slightly excited, there was an ace player like him in the company, which could definitely greatly enhance his combat effectiveness. The key is to use him well, and no longer use him as an ordinary soldier as before.

"Thank you, sir, I will continue to work hard." Xia Ming stood up and saluted, he would not refuse West's care. In this way, his survival will be more certain.

He had no objection to the fact that it was the right thing to do to make the best use of one's talents.

Tonight's Xia Ming's performance also spread quickly in the company.

His accurate detection judgment and sharp marksmanship made everyone look at him with admiration, especially the newcomers, who would never question him again, and everyone treated him as a hero.

"Xia Ming, why have you always been so serious lately? It's not like you. "Muller, Harry, and Xia Ming were on guard in front of a machine gun in shifts.

"Why, it's just that I can't laugh because of the current situation." Xia Ming took a deep puff of the cigarette, handed it to Mueller again, and looked thoughtfully at the night outside.

The city ahead was a Shura Purgatory, how could he still be relaxed?

"What, you think we can't take this city??" Harry asked, thinking for a moment.

In his mind, even if there are difficulties, the ultimate victor must be the great empire.

"I don't know, I just hope we get out of here alive." Xia Ming shook his head gently, he didn't want to say anything too frustrating, but he couldn't say anything about lying to himself.

Now that the battle has begun, it is doomed to failure, because it was a strategically wrong decision. No matter how awesome tactically it is, it's useless.

One person can't change the situation of the war, he can only try to save himself, protect his comrades, and let everyone persevere.

Then see if there are any miracles.

"Haha, you're suffering from pre-war depression. Don't think too much, of course I'm going to go back alive, and a few of my Ukrainian wives are still lying at home waiting for me. ”

Mueller's words made Xia Ming smile slightly, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "So many wives share one with me?" ”

"No problem, if you miss a woman, I'll ask Sasha to find you a little nurse after this fight." Mueller winked lightly at Xia Ming, Sasha was the Romanian woman he had recently picked up, which was very good. It must be admitted that Mueller's ability is still worthy of recognition, if it weren't for wartime, Xia Ming would definitely ask him for advice.

***************************

On September 3rd, in the afternoon...

Xia Ming followed the company and officially began the offensive towards Stalingrad. Yesterday the whole day, the city was bombed by hundreds of planes dispatched by the Fourth Air Force, and another 2,000 sorties were carried out indiscriminately during the night.

From early this morning, the infantry, under the cover of tanks, began to advance towards the city.

Many buildings have been bombed to the ground, but the Soviet defense line is still heavily arranged. I have to admire their ability to work under pressure.

Every building, every street was garrisoned by valiant Red Army soldiers.

Pushing even 10 meters forward is quite difficult.

"How about it, Xia Ming, should we break through all the way??"

At this time, Xia Ming's company was crawling behind a fortification, and everyone was watching him.

This fortification, located at the three-way intersection of a street, was temporarily occupied by the Soviet troops after they took out the rear of the detour, and if it weren't for Xia Ming's judgment and advice, they would definitely have suffered heavy losses.

The street fighting in the city is extremely terrifying, and the machine gun ports hidden in the shadows and the sniper points in the tall buildings are difficult to guard against.

The tank was clumsy and needed sappers to clear it all the way. Many times it can only be a fixed turret.

In this kind of street fighting, which is almost close together, the shells in the rear also become very embarrassing. It was not the enemy who bombed a little bit, but its own people.

In the end, it was up to the blood of the warriors to occupy every building and stronghold.

Some places were just occupied and recaptured by the enemy, and even fought for a dilapidated house for a morning, where countless soldiers died.

In view of the fact that the battle was much more difficult than expected, the headquarters decided to temporarily break through to the outskirts of the city to form the first line of defense. Occupy a layer to arrange a defensive line, step by step, the strategy of advancing step by step.

Xia Ming's company received an order from his superiors to occupy an eight-story dilapidated building in front of him before dark.

This building is the commanding height of the nearby area and is one of the important buildings that must be taken to build the first line of defense.

I have already gone to two companies before, but they have not completed the task.

Xia Ming very carefully poked out the periscope to observe the surrounding situation, he had been observing for 10 minutes, and he had not made a judgment.

This was a decision that would affect the fate of the company, and he had to be cautious.

They were now located diagonally across from the tall building, avoiding several important enemy points of fire, but it was difficult to get close to them easily.

The most difficult part is the fortification at the entrance of another street, where the heavy machine guns behind the layers of sandbags are merciless. Once they rush out, they have to be put to the test of it.

Of course, he was confident that he would take out the Heavy in the first place, but the problem was that there were several sniper points on the tall buildings aimed at them, and it was very likely that he would be killed first when he showed up.

Especially in a corner on the 5th floor, this sniper point is aimed at its own direction. He couldn't gamble with his life that the opponent's marksmanship would not work.

But it can't be delayed any longer, and action must be taken now.

Because the friendly forces that attract fire head-on are already nearing the end, it will be even more difficult to wait for them to turn their guns and charge in if they do not attack.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming withdrew the periscope, gently lay down, and took off the helmet by the way.

Captain West whispered, "Sir, we have to rush over." I'll take out the Heavy at the corner as soon as possible.

You have to believe me, I say rush, and you order everyone to rush. ”

"Okay.." West nervously grasped the submachine gun and crouched behind the sandbag.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe that Xia Ming is, and he doesn't believe that he has to rush. If you don't attack again, you will disobey the order, and the commander will follow his advice and make a feint attack on the front, and he will go on the front.

After Xia Ming finished speaking, he hung his helmet on the rifle and gently pushed it forward.

With a gunshot piercing a hole in the steel helmet, Xia Ming quickly pounced and killed the sniper point on the 5th floor with one shot.

"Hurry up!!" Xia Ming knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and several other points would definitely readjust the direction of the sniper when he saw the situation.

"Rush!" Joseph was the first to stand up and lead the group towards the building.

Before the tongue of fire of the machine gun was sprayed, Xia Ming was killed by a cold gun.

Several bullets crossed him, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

In a short time, the large force of the team had already made a detour to the side of the building. Several grenades dismantled the second machine gunner who was not far away and tried to continue firing, and quickly rushed through the back door towards the building.

Soon several fire points that were lying in ambush on the front were also extinguished, and various explosions and shots were heard in the building.

"Whew..."Xia Ming let out a long sigh as he shrank behind the sandbag. There's no way he's going to rush out again, and God knows how many guns are aimed at him. Just wait for the commandos to take them out.

A shot just now cut a big hole in his arm, and his left arm was almost dyed red.
