Chapter 378: Self-Help
Although the firefight was intense, it did not last long, and it subsided after a while.
Lusaku and Pete's team began to advance again, and when they got closer, they found that it was a small village, where the inhabitants had spontaneously fired at their tanks and motorcycles, and the vanguard had returned fire with machine guns and artillery, and the area was quickly leveled.
Looking at the burning and smoking farmhouse and the undisposed corpses on the ground, Lusaku couldn't help but think of his relatives back home, and he didn't know how his parents and brother were doing.
Lusaku's family, far away in Berlin's Sling Bakery, did not escape the British retaliatory bombardment, and a third of the bakery collapsed, scattering flour and furniture crumbs everywhere.
"Damn! Doesn't it say that our army is invincible? Why did enemy planes fly over our heads? ”
"Mom, hide in! Beware of injury! ”
Luel dragged his mother into a bomb shelter, where his father had been killed in the bombing.
"Oh, I should write a letter to your brother and ask him how the war is going and when we will win."
Luel looked at his mother, who was full of grief, and had secretly decided to join the army, even if his mother did not agree with him.
However, it is said that the Soviet people at this time were much more sad than the German people, they were caught off guard by the sudden war, their army could not organize an effective counterattack, and a large area of the country was exposed to the iron hooves of Nazi Germany, and the first to be persecuted was undoubtedly the people on the border.
However, the Soviet top brass who reacted finally made a speech to Moscow's squares and streets, factories, workshops, school playgrounds, and every residential building at 12 o'clock at noon after the German attack.
[For four days this morning, the Germans launched an attack on our country without any statement to us, without declaring war, invading our territory in many places and sending planes to bomb our cities.
This is not the first time that our people have faced a vicious enemy, our people's patriotic war taught Napoleon a hard lesson and caused him defeat, and now we will also launch a patriotic counteroffensive against these vicious fascists.
All the people must carry out the victorious patriotic war of defending the motherland, defending happiness and defending freedom to the end, our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, and victory will definitely belong to us! 】
The people of Moscow were surprised to hear this announcement, and they could not have imagined that three million German troops were pounced on them like hungry wolves.
Hitler had already made up his mind to completely destroy them, they did not know that many excellent sons and daughters were consumed by the German army before they could pick up their guns, but they knew that their lives would change because of this, great changes, and each of them should be ready to sacrifice their lives for the motherland at any time.
At the same time, a village that had just been bombarded into ruins by German tank units.
Zoya pushed open the door of the cellar hidden under the ruins, her face covered with dust, she poked her head out and looked left and right for a while, and when she was sure that the enemy had left, she pushed open the wooden door with all her might, climbed up from inside, and reached out to drag up the people hiding behind her.
"Those damned German devils, they must be crazy, sisters, brothers, our army will definitely launch a counteroffensive to retake our lost land, but now we can't sit still, we must unite, unite to resist, and we can't let the Germans destroy our homeland with impunity!"
Zoya is a twenty-five-year-old Russian girl with long blond hair, a thin face that has not faded its freckles, and resolute eyes and sonorous words.
At the same time, she is also a student who graduated from the second phase of Longxing Military Academy, and she is also a female student that Zhou Yu values very much.
Zhuoya has returned from the academy, and she doesn't understand why the dean, that is, Zhou Yu, sent her back to her hometown? Instead of going underground in the war zone like everyone else, however, now she finally knew.
"The dean's foresight was amazing, no one would have thought that Hitler would suddenly point the finger to the east, the dean knew all this well, no wonder he sent me back, my task was to organize my own countrymen to resist the iron hooves of the Nazis."
Zhuoya thought that the words that Zhou Yu told him before had now become a reality, so she had to use the skills she had learned to do something for the motherland and her compatriots.
Looking at the people who were gradually crawling out of their cellars, they were all frightened and confused, not knowing what was happening or what to do.
At this time, Zhuoya picked up a wooden stick and slammed it on the glass in the ruins, attracting everyone's attention.
She found a pile of broken bricks and tiles to stand on, waved her arms and said: "We all know that war is coming, war means death, it will sweep up thousands of lives, we also know that war and destruction, disasters, and suffering are equated, look at our past day, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of disasters war has brought us."
Before that, we didn't even know what an air raid was, what a bomb shelter was, but soon we had to do it ourselves, and we hadn't heard the bomb whistle and explosion before, and we didn't know that the glass on the windows would shatter due to the fluctuations in the air, and the locked doors and windows would demine and fly.
We don't yet know what a retreat is, what a train full of children is, but the enemy ruthlessly and systematically drops bombs from planes, incinerates and destroys our villages and towns, and not only kills our people, our parents, our children.
We don't know that there are people who have been humiliated, thousands of people are burned alive in the furnace, we don't know that there are linen cloths woven from human hair and book covers made of human skin, there are many things we don't know, we are used to respecting humanity, loving children, seeing them as hope for the future, we don't know that those beasts that look like us, but have turned into demons in their hearts, will throw their nursing children into the fire!
We don't know how long this war will last, but we know one thing, we have to resist, we have to resist with determination and tenacity! Only then will it be possible for us to save our parents, our children, our hometown, and change our future destiny!
Don't hesitate any longer, brothers and sisters, now I need all of you to cheer up, take up whatever you have at your disposal as weapons, unite all your compatriots who see it, Nazi Germany cannot defeat us, we will drag the war into the cold winter, let them taste the land of extreme cold! ”
Zoya's words were like hammers, striking on the chests of the dazed-eyed people, making them gradually become angry and agitated from the initial dazed and frightened, and many men found sticks and knives, and the women also clenched the stones in their hands.
"That's right! Drive away these invaders! Defend our families and our homes! ”
"Zhuoya, what do you say? We listen to you! ”
"Zoya, didn't you go to a military school? We listen to you, we will fight as you say! ”
"Very well, now we need to gather the surviving compatriots in the surrounding villages and towns, we need to gather weapons, store food, and burrow into the hills and forests to fight those demons! This is our hometown, we know every inch of it, the Germans don't know that, and now everyone is moving! ”
