Six hundred and twenty-nine. Sniper to Sniper
!After slowly entering the city, the commando realized that they were chasing a Russian division that was fleeing, and their casualties were quite heavy. The city was full of Russians who were killed, including soldiers and civilians. They were all bombarded by artillery bombardment all night.
Heisenberg encountered the ruins of a Russian army's machine gun position, which was hit directly by a shell. Two Russian soldiers guarding the position waiting for the arrival of the Germans were blown to pieces, and the remains of the bodies and sandbags were sprinkled everywhere. Their fox pits have now become an open crater.
Gunshots came from afar, and then, there were also shooting sounds in other directions. It must be some Russian soldiers covering other troops in the retreat. The commando squad carefully passed through the city.
Heisenberg saw a few frightened women hiding in a large house, with the windows of the house broken. Heisenberg could not stare at them, their heads wrapped in headscarves, and many people were crying. They did not speak to the German soldiers, and it seemed that they felt they could be shot at any time.
Similar scenes are everywhere.
On the street, women were holding dead men or children; an old man wrapped his wife's seriously injured leg; two old women rescued another woman who had lost one foot.
Many houses have now become craters. Heisenberg thought that when the shells hit the house, the unfortunate residents were probably sleeping soundly. They might have been buried beneath, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.
The German soldiers ignored these scenes. They lined up through the city and chased the Russian army as orders. The trucks they used as transport vehicles the day before were lined up in a long line to follow.
As they approached the center of Lilpok, the commandos heard the fierce exchange of fire. Heisenberg believed that the Russians were stubbornly resisting the city center.
The commando saw many German infantry squads hidden in houses near the city center. Heisenberg walked beside Sergeant Misha, Edim and Sergeant Keller. When approaching the German squads used as hidden houses, the commando saw a pile of corpses lying on the street between the houses. Eight German soldiers fell together, and they were all shot several times, obviously dead.
Keller ordered an infantryman to monitor the corners and streets. The soldier did so.
"Machine gun position, sir! Just in front of the street."
"How far?" Sergeant Keller asked.
"About two hundred meters."
Keller pointed to Edim and Heisenberg: "You guys go and kill it!"
"Edim, come with me!" Heisenberg said to his friend. He placed his rifle in front of him and began to crawl forward. Heisenberg slowly approached with the pile of corpses and lay behind the pile of corpses. He felt it would be difficult for the enemy to find him because he was wearing a military uniform of the same color as those corpses.
Edim crawled beside him. He carefully placed the rifle on a corpse. Heisenberg had also set up the rifle and observed it with a better Zeiss scope. He pointed the crosshairs at the chin of the machine gunner on the left.
"They don't expose too much, can you hit it?"
Edim smiled: "I think it's OK Heisenberg, listen to my orders one, three, two, one!"
They both pulled the trigger at the same time. Heisenberg's bullet was slightly higher, a few centimeters higher than the position he was aiming, and it was shooting the machine gunner in the face. He forgot that the shooting distance was closer this time. He looked at the Russian soldier's eyes wide open, then fell down and left his sight.
"Continue to monitor!" Heisenberg whispered, and then he saw another Russian soldier get up and take the machine gun with his hand. Heisenberg hit him in the face with a shot. The Russian soldier's nose disappeared, and he shrank his head back. Edim also fired.
"I killed the loader!" he said excitedly.
Heisenberg could fully feel Edem's adrenaline surging, and so did he himself. He searched for enemies on the streets.
Edim continued to monitor the streets, and Heisenberg turned around and gestured to Sergeant Keller that their enemy's machine gun team had been solved.
Keller nodded and ordered the rest of the class to rush forward. They dragged the dead German soldiers out of the street, and Sergeant Keller broke the ID card hanging in their necks in half and stuffed it into his pocket. "Poor guy!" he murmured.
Keller asked Heisenberg if he could use his scope. Heisenberg handed over his rifle.
Keller looked at the streets of Lots through the scope. He moved his rifle and observed what was happening in front of him. "They hid in those concrete buildings. The commando's hidden houses were made of dirt and a small amount of brick walls and could not stop bullets at all, it was like hiding behind a blanket."
"What should I do then? Sgt.?" At this moment, an officer came to Keller. He was a captain, with several infantry squads. Heisenberg estimated that about eight squads of soldiers followed him. The captain asked Keller how the situation was.
"The enemy is hidden in concrete buildings in the city center. My people are using these houses to fire at them. We have just killed a machine gun position in front of the street." He pointed to the Russian machine gun position.
"Good job, Sgt.! Do you think your people can cover our charge?"
"No problem, sir!" Keller answered very much! He answered very much!
"Very good. As long as the Russian soldiers probe, you can shoot and suppress them!"
"Yes, sir!" Keller said loudly.
Heisenberg felt that he seemed a little worried.
Sergeant Keller turned to Misha, Edim and Heisenberg: "Let the Russians see how the German soldiers fought!"
"We will do our best, sir!" said Edim, who held his heels together and saluted. Then Edim turned to Heisenberg: "You go first, Mr. High-magnification Scope."
As he said that, he laughed.
Heisenberg went forward between the two houses. The dead soldier had been removed at this moment, so he was observing the walls for concealment, looking through the scope on the rifle. Soon, he discovered a Russian soldier. The guy hid in a large house and shot out through the window. He hid behind the brick wall, which was very concealed, revealing only the barrel of the rifle and half of the head. Heisenberg pulled the trigger. The Russian soldier either fell down or left, but he disappeared anyway. Using the same tactics, Heisenberg moved the crosshairs of the scope, crossed the building, and kept the corner of the house between himself and the rest of the building. He could hear the sound of automatic weapons and rifles shooting from the building he was aiming at and the nearby houses.
As many bullets hit the exterior walls of the building, he saw white smoke and splashing broken bricks. The glass on all windows had long been broken. A mortar shell exploded on the roof.
The crosshairs of Heisenberg fell on a Russian soldier operating a machine gun. Just as he was about to fire a bullet hit the other party's chest and he fell down.
Another Russian soldier stepped forward to take the machine gun, and Heisenberg shot him in the forehead. He then fired a shot at the barrel of the machine gun and completely destroyed it. The landing point of the bullet was three centimeters above the cross line, which allowed him to shoot each bullet accurately.
He moved the crosshair again, but there was no obvious target in front of him. So he signaled the commando to rush forward. Sergeant Keller followed the captain and led about two hundred soldiers behind the Captain. They moved very quickly, rushed to the building and spread out against the wall in front of the door. The captain signaled an infantry squad to rush in. The sound of fire exchange was heard in the building, and Heisenberg heard a long-handled grenade thrown in.
After the grenade exploded, all the infantry flocked into the building. Heisenberg and several other snipers watched several windows, but did not find Russian soldiers aiming and shooting outside. A few minutes later, with several gunshots and grenade explosions, Sergeant Keller came out of the house. He summoned his snipers.
"There are only twenty Russian soldiers in this building," he said, pointing to the front: "It seems that the Russians are hiding in large buildings in the city center. The commando will use this building as a concealment now."
They walked into the building and climbed up the second floor. Heisenberg found a window here and prepared to shoot at any building. The other snipers in Heisenberg's class also followed suit.
Heisenberg carefully poked out part of his body again, and used the crosshairs of the scope to observe the buildings in the distance, and soon discovered the target he was looking for. An enemy sniper was aiming at the building where Heisenberg was located. A smaller scope was installed on his rifle. Just as Heisenberg was aiming at him, the Russian sniper fired a shot.
Heisenberg imagined that one of his comrades had his life taken by the other party. He could not allow the other party to continue shooting. So he gently pulled the trigger. The bullet passed through the other party's left cheek and he fell down.
The whole day, the process repeated again and again. Heisenberg and several other snipers fired at any enemy that appeared in the building windows, while the commandos rushed into the building and cleared the resisters in the house. Heisenberg took bullets from the magazine bags of the dead German soldiers several times, and he was worried that he would have gone.
Sergeant Keller noticed Heisenberg's excellent shooting skills: "Heisenberg, you are a great warrior. I have never seen any sniper with your skills. I'm so glad to serve with you."
"Thank you, Sergeant!" Heisenberg had never heard of such praise.
During the battle that day, Heisenberg was almost inaccurate. A bullet shot by a Russian sniper almost hit his head. Heisenberg's helmet was raised and thrust hard on his cheek. It was very strong, leaving dark purple whip marks on his face. Heisenberg lay on the ground for a long time until he was convinced that the Russian sniper thought he had been shot dead. Then, he slowly climbed to another window and leaned forward to search for the other party's traces.
After a few minutes of terror, Heisenberg discovered an enemy sniper. He was looking at the building he was in through the scope on his rifle, searching for the target. Heisenberg shot him in the forehead.
At dusk, a large number of Russian soldiers surrounded by the city center raised their hands to surrender.
They were disarmed and headed south under the escort of hundreds of German infantry.
