Chapter 123 Lonely City

Walking through long alleys, through private houses, into short alleys, bypassing churches, and climbing through ruins, the journey was not only difficult, but the entire city was trembling in the fierce sound of gunfire. Soviet fighter jets were roaring and hovering over their heads, and from time to time dropped powerful bombs. The group seemed to be walking in a maze, and it turned out that Lin Neng's sense of direction was still quite good.

Holding Tanze's rifle, he finally saw the destination of the trip, the 11th block in the sniper scope.

There was once the largest theater in Oranin Castle, with a neat gravel road surrounded by roses, but now only ruins and debris are left.

At the most eye-catching point, two Soviet T-34s were parked suddenly at the intersection, which seemed to be parked casually, but the black muzzles were guarding each other vigilantly.

Lynn was surprised and disappointed, but not confused.

The earth is round, and the defense line and the city can also be regarded as an irregular circle. As long as the outer circle is broken through, the powerful Soviet tanks will only take half a day to circle the city twice.

The current situation is actually not difficult to judge. The Soviet army that broke through the outer defense line has basically surrounded Oranin Fort. If they choose to stick to it, even if they use the darkness to fight a beautiful street battle, the end result will be nothing more than death and surrender.

The fall of Berlin is a matter of time sooner or later, let alone a small Oranin Fort.

As the commander of the 167th Night Battle Team, Lynn is preparing to extend the content of the superior's command: "Escort the senior war correspondent to the designated location. If he is unable to meet with the receiving vehicle, he should do everything possible to escort the comrade to Berlin."

When I went to Berlin, it seemed that I had only been breathing for a few more days than staying here, but the headquarters of the "Vampire" commando also moved to Berlin, Bach, Digrio and Motchig, all of which were on Lynn's plan list - planning these schools and lieutenant-level officers with a small SS corporal sounded shameless and ridiculous, but no matter how outstanding their ability, how accurate and long-term judgment of the development of the situation is as accurate and long-term as Lynn?

To get out of town, you have to pass through the block ahead first.

Lin Neng put down his gun and turned to the female reporter in the battle field and said, "Comrade Aiva, I have to regret to notify you: the armored vehicle originally intended to send you to Berlin has now become the prey of Soviet tanks!"

The journey was hard, and I died for a while, but in the end it was still in vain. The big eyes showed deep disappointment.

Lin En immediately turned to the four soldiers under his command: "Everyone, the task assigned by our superiors is to escort Comrade Aiva. Even if there is no vehicle to be taken, we should continue to implement this order firmly. However... the road ahead has been blocked by the Soviets. We may have to wait until dark here and then pass through the Soviet-occupied area at night!"

This is not an order, but a kind of notification and a kind of consultation.

“Full obey your decision!”

Wolfrum's first statement was crucial, followed by Tanze and Tchimeer, and Graf also followed the crowd as usual.

"Okay!" Lynn nodded with satisfaction. He hoped to see such a situation of working together.

"It's more than 20 kilometers from here to Berlin. If we are lucky, we will get help from friendly forces halfway, but we may have to walk this distance with our feet!"

Although this was said by the soldiers, Lynn also wanted the female field reporter to prepare mentally: 20 kilometers is nothing to the soldiers, but it is a bit far for a woman whose physical fitness has not been specially trained.

Eva had no objection to returning to Berlin. She was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in a very low tone: "I'm sorry, I've dragged you down!"

Lynn was so surprised that he didn't know what to respond for a moment. Seeing this, Wolfrum, who was standing next to him, took the initiative to comfort him: "Ha, how can it be said to be a drag? Come and interview us and record our combat experience. Of course, we have the obligation to send you back to the safe area! Besides, this is also the order of the superior!"

Lynn turned around and couldn't help crying when he saw his big blinking eyes.

"If any of you were injured because of protecting me, I would be very sorry!" she said with a sad expression.

Uh...Is this the female reporter who looked decisive and brisk at the time? Lin En had known that women were fickle, but she didn't expect that a person could gather such complex personalities and emotions.

Unfortunately, Lynn has never quite understood how to comfort women. So, it is still explained by Wolfrum:

“Aren’t we all okay?”

At this time, the young Tanze also interrupted: "Yes, fighting is our duty, let alone we have a magical commander like Sergeant Galgo?"

"Our Sergeant Galgo is omnipotent!" Tchimmel whispered.

In this case, Graff naturally would not exclude himself: "Don't worry, we have the best commander in the world!"

So everyone turned their respectful eyes to Lynn.

It is certainly good to get everyone's trust and support, but now it is not the time to be proud. Lynn looked down at his watch. Even if it was dark at 6 o'clock, he would have to wait for more than six hours. So he ordered: "Gordon, you and Anton will find you a safe hidden place for everyone first. From now on, we will take turns to keep watch until it is dark!"

The city is full of collapsed houses and ruins, so it is not difficult to find a hidden place. Wolfrum quickly found a large room with half underground and half on the ground, with a lot of furniture and debris inside. He also moved two old sofas very attentively to set up beds for Eva. Lin Neng didn't have the intention to deliberately please the female field reporter, put down the heavy infrared night vision equipment, and looked around, pulled a few pieces of gray rags from the corner, and used them to wrap the barrel, guardrail and sniper lens of Tanze's sniper rifle. This was a hidden skill learned from the movie - there may not be Soviet snipers nearby, but it is always right to be cautious.

Holding Tanze's sniper rifle, Lynn announced that he was the first to go out and wait.

Stepping on the collapsed wall, climbing up the three-story building with only half of the building on the left, and selecting the most broken windowsill on the second floor as the observation post for temporary residence. At this time, the whole city was filled with smoke, and several squares near the city center were burning, and gunfire and explosions could be heard from all directions. The battle on the outside seemed to be not over yet. You could still see the fire of artillery shell explosions in the distance in the sniper lens. The smoke columns that rose from the ground were like huge pillars of an invisible temple...

Looking back at the 11th block in the south of the city, Lynn finally saw two destroyed half-track armored vehicles in a corner, with several bodies of German soldiers lying or lying around. Could these be the command contacted the command to pick Eva up to Berlin?

Accepting this cruel reality calmly, Lynn continued to wait and see. T-34, which had stopped at the intersection before, had already left, but there were still traces of Soviet soldiers' activities nearby. It seemed that they were preparing to set up a warning position at the intersection to gradually stabilize the occupied area in the city.

After glanced over every area around, Lin Neng put away his rifle and leaned against the corner of the wall to sniff for a while. There were so many things that had happened in just half a day that my poor head was a little overwhelmed. The medals, promotions and female journalists came unexpectedly, but the Soviets broke through the defense line and entered the city this morning. Why did they get together everything?

Even when he closed his eyes, Lin Neng did not dare to be careless at all. Instead, he closely watched the sounds around him. Every ten minutes he got up to observe the situation nearby. He used a rifle scope to view the distance for a round. In this way, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and a particularly fierce sound of gunfire suddenly sounded in the city center. Only frequent flashes and thick smoke could be seen in the scope. After about twenty minutes, the gunfire gradually stopped.

Hiss... the city center was occupied by the Soviet army?

Lin En was no longer surprised, but almost desperate. Before this, he felt that the National Defense Forces and SS stationed in Fort Oranin built a large number of barricades and fortifications, and transformed many buildings and ruins into defense points. In addition, the "elite anti-tank blasting team", "elite infantry sniper team" and "elite night combat team". With the barricades, buildings and ruins in the city, the outer defense line should be held for another three or four days after being broken by the Soviet army. But it has only been a long time for now!

Soon, the fierce guns and cannons of the battle moved towards the east of the city, and explosions were heard across the south of the city. The more this happened, the more uneasy Lin En was. Could it be that he would soon become a turtle in a jar? Or...

Suddenly, he saw a few figures shaking in the ruins in the back alley. Lin En quickly picked up the sniper rifle, fearing that the Soviet army would start to send a team to clean up the net to eliminate the remnants of the German army hiding in every corner of the city. However, the Soviets did not seem to have made such a fast progress. The familiar large-eared steel helmet appeared in the scope, with three people, one of whom was holding an mp44 equipped with an infrared searchlight and a telescope, and there seemed to be a square box on his back.

Although it was the outfit of the night war troops, there were Russians everywhere now, and Lynn dared not be careless. He carefully observed the surroundings and confirmed that there were no other people moving nearby. Then he put on his back, climbed down gently, and quietly ambushed on their must-pass road. After all the three people walked past, he jumped out with his double guns in his hand: "Don't move all!"

When I heard this German pronunciation, I probably thought I had encountered a Russian ambush, and the three soldiers froze hard.

Lynn pulled out the double-shooting hammer and asked sternly: "Which group are you from? Who is the commander?"

The one with infrared night vision equipment on his back replied: "The 152nd Night Battle Group, commander Sergeant Hans Zwig, Sergeant, has now been killed, and I will temporarily take over the battle group!"

The entire battle group originally had 50 groups, that is, 50 commanders. Lynn knew only seven or eight, but he knew that the 152 battle group was indeed staying in Olanin Fort, so he said, "Okay, turn around!"

After the three soldiers were facing him, Lynn looked up and down, and felt that there was no problem, he reset the hammer on the wreck gun and introduced himself: "I am Lynn Galgo, the commander of the 167 Night Battle Group. According to the battlefield rules, I will be in charge of the command for the time being!"

Although they were shocked by Lynn just now, the three soldiers did not take a hostile attitude, but were relieved and relaxed. The leader who carried infrared night vision equipment expressed their attitude and position one by one:

"Breil Bloom, the soldier on Ss, accepts your command!"

"Ss Soldier Bill Chimerman accepts your command!"

"Ss Private Conrad Végel accepts your command!"
