Leningrad, a hidden US military defense line.

Smith is an excellent night sniper, affiliated with the 188th Division of the U.S. Army. Before the United States officially sent troops to participate in the war on a large scale, he once participated in the Battle of Stalingrad as an ace sniper.

In that arduous battle, what the Germans liked most was to launch an attack in the dark and then capture half a street or two buildings. As a night sniper, he often relied only on the faint moonlight or even a little sound.

, a black shadow can shoot.

In those three months of fighting, he wiped out a total of 72 enemies, all of which were achieved at night. Although the final battle was lost and Stalingrad fell, he won a lot of medals and returned to

After the United States, I was welcomed like an ace hero.[

Later, with the opening of the second battlefield in Europe, he was sent back to the European front line again as an excellent ace night sniper. The greatest role of a sniper is not in field positions, but in urban street fighting, especially in plains like Europe.

Let’s talk about the mountainous areas.

"Hahn, pay attention."

As an ace sniper, Smith enjoyed the benefits brought by high technology. First, the company commander assigned him a special observer, and secondly, he assigned an individual infrared night vision device to serve as a two-man night sniper team.

special equipment.

"Damn, it's so quiet tonight."

Hahn was a little sleepy. It was indeed too quiet tonight. It was so quiet that in the same period of time, he could usually detect the enemy two or three times, but tonight, there was nothing unusual at all.

He glanced at the infrared sensor in the book in front of him, raised his eyes and searched carefully, but still found nothing. It was surprisingly quiet.

However, for battlefield veterans, the absence of abnormalities is often the biggest abnormality.

"Nothing was found."

The well-trained Hahn said in the lowest voice, the kind that could not be heard from two meters away.

The two of them were on the third floor of a four-story building. The fourth floor had been blasted away, and the house on the left side of the third floor had become a sniper point.

The sniper's position was natural. A mortar fired half of the wall. After Smith's hawk-like eyes examined the situation outside again, he retracted behind the wall. Hahn also took advantage of this to take a rest.

""Hahn, the situation tonight is very abnormal. The company commander and others must have discovered it. We must be more vigilant and don't be "touched" by the Germans. It is 1 o'clock in the morning. Cheer up, it will be dawn soon.

.”

Although Hahn was an excellent observer, he was still inferior to Smith, so he had to warn.

"Are the Germans going to launch another midnight offensive?"

Hahn spat. The Germans loved this trick the most, but what the American and Soviet troops feared the most was night battles like this. Streets and buildings were often taken away by the Germans at night, and the Allies could launch an attack in the early morning, relying on powerful firepower.

Support the attack and get it back.

"Who knows, we have this guy, and the troubles nearby can't fool us." Smith picked up the kettle in the corner, drank a few swigs of water, and handed it to Hahn to signal him to drink some. "Change the battery, and we will continue.

.”

The infrared instrument was powered by a high-power battery. The two rested for two minutes before going into the highly stressful night hunting.

However, the situation tonight was indeed very strange. Until about 3 o'clock in the morning, there was no movement from the Germans.

The Germans made no movement, but the Allied positions behind the two men did take up positions.[

“￥%……”

A low vibrating sound came from the special individual soldier radio specially assigned to the two men. Hahn put on his earphones and heard the latest order from the rear.

"Commander Roman ordered everyone to stand up and defend their positions. The command headquarters believes that under such abnormal circumstances, the Germans must have made a big move."

Hahn put down his headphones and said in his lowest voice.

The so-called standing up to defend the position means that everyone usually sleeps in caves or tunnels, and some sturdy buildings are used to station troops. But when rising up to fight, they have to set up defenses in ruins and dilapidated buildings.

"I'm going to sleep on the battlefield tonight."

Looking at the time, it was three o'clock in the morning. According to the two people's habits, Hahn took a rest first, and Smith was on duty, and then the rotation took place.

Smith was very sensitive to time and found that it only took Hahn two minutes to fall asleep. Twenty minutes later, when Smith observed the infrared camera for the eighth time, he discovered something strange.

This abnormality did not come from the ground, but from the air.

"It seemed like there was the sound of an airplane."

Smith's hearing was extremely sensitive. As an ace sniper, his hearing and vision were far better than ordinary people. He raised his head and looked around, only to see a few red spots in the sky, and he immediately determined that they were airplanes flying in the night sky.

In just ten seconds, the sound of the plane became louder.

"Damn it, it's a German night attack plane."

Although this was not the first time the Germans had done this, and night raids and bombings were a common occurrence, Smith still hated it. After all, no matter how good a sniper was, he could be blown to ashes by an aerial bombing of buildings and people.

"Hahn, wake up quickly, there's something going on."

Smith kicked Hahn, who immediately woke up reflexively. After staying in the battlefield for a long time, he also immediately discovered the night attack aircraft group.

"It seems like there are so many of them. The damn Germans always place their planes so far forward that it's hard to spot them."

What Hahn complained about was that the Germans secretly deployed their aircraft on grass or roads so that they could avoid early warning from Allied radars as much as possible. The large truck technology the Germans obtained from the Chinese allowed them to use hundreds of large trucks.

Trucks often tow airplanes around.

These planes must have come from very close to the front line.

"Da da da..."

"Woooooooo..."

Sure enough, as soon as the German planes arrived, the Allied air defense siren sounded, and various huge searchlights began to illuminate the sky. The air defense forces began to counterattack based on the poor lighting, and the airport behind them scrambled to take off a group of aircraft.

Prepare to intercept.[

However, this time, the Germans seemed to be just running around, not attacking the air defense positions and exposed strategic points. Instead, they were flying around, causing chaos throughout Leningrad.

"The Germans are so abnormal."

Twenty minutes later, when the third wave of German night attack planes flew overhead, Lieutenants Smith and Hahn couldn't help but become confused. In the past, the German night attack groups were always equipped with the most dangerous aircraft.

They dived at low altitudes to attack and bomb, but tonight they were flying over the city. Except for Allied night attack aircraft, they paid no attention to ground targets.

Another ten minutes passed, but Smith's eyelids twitched and he listened attentively. After a while, he said seriously, "Damn, there are a large number of bombers flying from high altitudes. God, I heard their different voices."

.”

Smith reacted so quickly. When the huge group of bombers came, the smartest way was to hide. There was a tunnel on the first floor of this building that led to the sewer.

The two quickly packed up their sniper rifles, infrared cameras, and radios, and rushed into the basement in just over 30 seconds, very fast.

After entering the sewer, there was no other place for the two of them to go. Smith placed a periscope here so that he could see the situation on the ground. With the searchlights filling the sky, Leningrad seemed to be brightly lit.

"What is that?"

As soon as he got in front of the periscope, Smith discovered a strange thing. With his eyesight, it was not difficult to find that many "explosions" were falling from the sky. However, although these falling explosions also exploded,

But the sound was too quiet, and there was almost no smoke or fire.

The next moment, he felt his hands and feet were cold.

"poison gas!!!"

The two people hurriedly began to put on the poison gas masks around their waists, and at this time, so much poison gas had fallen from the sky that it suffocated the Allied soldiers on the ground.

"God, the sky is covered with poisonous gas!!"

"Quick, hurry into the underground tunnel!!"

…

Suddenly, the entire Leningrad was like thunder on the ground, and a large number of American, British and Soviet troops began to move towards the tunnels, basements, and underground waterways. Although the poisonous gas had the property of settling, as long as it was sealed in place, it was relatively safe.

According to previous poison gas wars and related common sense, most American, British and Soviet soldiers believed that the poison gas would dissipate relatively quickly. But this time, as deaths began to appear in underground sewers, tunnels, and basements, people realized that this

What a ferocious poison gas bombing.

"God!!"

Smith suddenly smelled a strange smell. With his sensitivity, he instantly realized that poison gas was leaking. Looking at Hahn, he had difficulty breathing.

He hurriedly dragged Hahn into a pit on the side wall. There was a cave room there. Although it only had enough oxygen for two days after being cut off from the air, it was better than waiting to be poisoned to death.

But not everyone was so lucky. Only some of them ran underground and hid well, but most of the Allied soldiers were knocked down on the spot by this unprecedented poison gas bombing.

…

At four o'clock in the morning, at a secret location 200 kilometers away from Leningrad, this was General Patton's temporary headquarters.

"General, the Germans brazenly launched a poison gas attack on us. Five strategic points including Moscow, Leningrad, and Villaro were subjected to extremely large-scale poison gas attacks."

Patton had just slept for less than three hours when he was screamed out in a rage. He was almost frightened on the spot. Were the Germans really crazy about such a large-scale poison gas bombing?

"Order that officers and soldiers in various areas under attack carry out self-rescue, and the Air Force arranges to airdrop some agents that disperse or condense poison gas..."

Patton's first reaction was to issue a rescue and self-rescue order. Then he calmed down, realized that the problem was indeed too serious, and hurriedly ordered to send power to Washington overnight.

"... We have suffered an unprecedented large-scale poison gas attack, and the current losses are unknown... It is recommended to use poison gas immediately to retaliate..."

Soon, a brief but informative reply arrived from Washington. "Deeply shocked! Full rescue efforts, approval of all retaliatory actions."
