"Watch out for heavy artillery."

A soldier hiding behind a fortification reminded his comrades in a heart-rending loud voice.

His comrades, who had been reminded by him, leaned against the wall as if this would allow them to withstand the damage of the shells. In fact, they all knew that as long as the heavy artillery hit their building, there was no chance that everyone present would survive. This experience was a bloody lesson learned by several soldiers defending the same building.

And among the soldiers defending the building, we can see a familiar face, and Mr. Bruno, the border police officer of Suceava, is also here. The case of the arrest of thousands of stowaways in the Nalua River in the previous two years, which caused a national sensation, only brought him a good name, and the increase in the salary of their team by 25 lei a month.

Don't think that this reward is less, you must know that after the news first arrived at their police station, their team was about to become the public enemy of the police station, and it was the director's speech that made the others dispel the idea of slaughtering them many times, and finally only ate them for one meal. The added benefit is that he has a new Border Patrol outfit, but still patrols the border.

After the outbreak of war, Bruno and his men were called up to the newly formed 33rd Division because of their experience in border patrols. And because he is the captain, he holds the position of squad leader, and the members of one of his squad are basically the border patrol team he leads, which is done in consideration of being able to quickly have combat effectiveness.

And they and the exception of the two militia squads recruited by other conscripts formed a platoon, with a young officer who had just graduated from the military academy as the platoon commander to command them.

In the previous days, their mission was mainly to train soldiers to cover operations, as well as to coordinate operations at the squad level. This is also due to the fact that their marksmanship and other skills are not bad, and the first emergency training others to fill the vacancies.

Bruno, who was training in Suceava, also saw the training of other divisions formed. More than once, he saw many troops only training in platoon and shooting, of course, these people looked at it for the first time in their lives, and they also needed the officers to carefully explain to them how to use the rifle.

After a month of training like this, the battle came in Bruno's bumpy anticipation. It's just that they only heard the officers talk about the passion or glory of the battle, but no one told them about the cruelty of war.

Polek, who had the best marksmanship in the patrol, was appointed as a sniper in the company because of his excellent marksmanship, and he also received a Mauser 98 with a sniper scope, a man who laughingly said that he wanted to make the Germans look good, and was hit by artillery in the first battle with his gun, and did not kill a single German.

After his former deputy, Camille, entered the unit with him, he was transferred to another squad as a squad leader because of his ability to command. However, two days earlier, I had heard from someone who knew him that Camille and his squad had not had time to evacuate while defending their positions, and were encircled by the Germans, presumably either taken prisoner or killed.

There were also Willis, Pol, Cathar, Billier and others, who were either wounded, killed, or missing. Now the border police who are alive and able to fight and are still on the same team as him, there is only one Luke left.

The shivering people who had taken refuge in the building had been suffering from the shelling for a long time, and when it was over, everyone immediately took their guns and occupied the favorable terrain to prepare for battle, and according to experience, the enemy was about to come up after the shelling. One more thing to say here, they who are disgraced in the building are all the personnel in the platoon. By the way, there is also a soldier named Biro who they rescued from elsewhere, and because they can't find the location of the company at the moment, they fight with them.

"Attention, the Germans on the left are coming up."

The soldier who was scouting from the heights loudly told Bruno and the others about the enemy situation they had observed.

Hearing the soldier's report, Bruno immediately ordered. "Doro, stay and watch out for a possible sneak attack, and the others will come with me."

After saying that, Bruno took the lead in moving to the left, and all the other soldiers except Doss moved with him.

At this time, Bruno skillfully arranged the position of the soldiers who followed him.

"Will, Mick, you two stay behind this low wall."

"Charles, Domi, and Ruller, the three of you are ready on the right."

"Minnie, Lang, Hoth, and Akchi, you four are in ambush on the left."

"Biro, you follow me."

"Everyone gave the order to fire at the sound of my gunfire."

After instructing his soldiers, Bruno found a wall that had been torn open by a cannonball and hid, while Biro, who was following him, was clever enough to find a spot on the opposite side and hid.

Without making them wait, a small group of German soldiers approached them along the corner.

Through a small crack in the crack, Bruno observed the enemy who was about to engage them. This is a German assault squad of more than ten people, and by observing the movements of these German troops and the command sign language, Bruno feels that these enemies are not simple and too vigilant.

And these people can tell by their facial expressions that they are not nervous at all, as if they are at home on the battlefield. And he actually saw a Madsen machine gun in this team, which confirmed his idea even more, this is a hard to bite bones, and if they don't know it, they will have to explain it here.

Bruno withdrew his gaze and looked at the picture in the necklace on his chest, which showed his wife and daughter with him. After this battle, it is very likely that he will never see them again, and Bruno's eyes were a little moist when he thought of this.

…………

Gunshots were heard from all directions, a fierce battle between the attacking and defensive soldiers, and a quiet, dilapidated building that didn't fit in with the bustle of the surrounding environment.

At this time, a large rough hand was placed on the wall, this was a strong soldier with a strong breath all over his body, and we could tell through his clothes that this was a German non-commissioned officer. I saw him carefully observe the situation of the building in front of him, and at the same time wave his hand to signal the people behind him to follow.

The Romanian soldiers, who were hiding around and preparing for a surprise attack, felt the enemy approaching and couldn't help but hold their breath.

The attacking German soldiers slowly spread out into the building, hiding to the side and observing Bruno After seeing the enemy halfway in, he slowly found an angle and prepared to shoot. At this moment, the German non-commissioned officer who walked in front of him shrank out of the corner of his eye, and he saw fresh footprints in front of him.

"Go back, there is an enemy."

After the German non-commissioned officer shouted a warning, the German soldier immediately quickly retreated.

Bruno, who was ready, cursed in his heart, "Damn." Although he didn't know what the enemy said, it was obvious that the enemy had spotted them. At this time, Bruno didn't care about anything else, if he didn't take advantage of the fact that he didn't destroy some enemies now, then it would be them who would be eliminated. Bruno quickly aimed his gun at the German non-commissioned officer he had met, it was he who discovered his whereabouts and made the raid fail, and by observing that he was also one of the commanders of these people, he should have made him his target.

Bruno quickly pulled the trigger from behind cover on the running German non-commissioned officer. Hearing only a "snap", a stream of blood broke out of the chest of the strong non-commissioned officer, and then he ran two more steps under the force of inertia and fell to the ground. After Bruno opened fire, the other soldiers in ambush also opened fire, but because they had been warned, the German soldiers were already prepared, which greatly reduced the sneak attack. With the exception of one enemy killed by Bruno, the other soldiers killed only two. In addition, a German soldier was wounded, but was also rescued by the enemy.

This German squad was also strong, and after losing four of its own men, the other soldiers immediately counterattacked Bruno and others.

For a while, the two sides were inseparable, but with the arrival of mutual shooting, the disadvantage of Bruno and the others' lack of sufficient training was also exposed. In just fifteen minutes of fire, Bruno and the others inflicted one dead and two wounded on the German soldiers at the cost of three dead and two wounded.

Bruno, as the commander, felt that he could not fight any longer, so he ordered his comrades. "Throw a grenade bomb and prepare to evacuate."

Who knew that Luke's voice rang out at this time. "Captain, I can't withdraw due to a leg injury, so you guys go first. Bring a message to my wife and daughter that I love them. ”

Luke's words made Bruno feel sad, but this was not the time for sadness, and he needed to leave safely with the rest of his soldiers.

"Leave some more grenades for Luke."

"Take care of Luke. We'll have a chance to say goodbye. ”

Then Bruno and the others threw grenades and exploded a cloud of smoke to block the enemy's view, and immediately began to move. In the face of Bruno and the others wanting to leave, the German detachment, which was the enemy, was of course unwilling, and immediately prepared to follow the attack, but they were all stopped by Luke's desperate attack.

Bruno and the others left the building amid gunfire, and the gunfire in the building took a long time to subside.
