"Major, wait a minute, I'll help you." On the other side of the street, Corporal Glasses shouted from behind a corner.

Chen Dao hesitated, since he could run over safely, the glasses corporal should have no problem, so he didn't stop it.

When Chen Dao hesitated, the glasses corporal sprinted and pounced towards Chen Dao's position.

The moment he jumped over the wounded German sniper, the corporal shook his body, and then fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, he did not move, and the scarlet blood flowed from his right rib like a stream into the roadside depression, and soon converged into a miniature lake.

・・・・・・

In the municipal building, Piszczek dodged behind a wall with a single shot, then pulled the bolt to reload the bullet.

After the bullets were loaded, Piszczek moved to the fifth floor of the building, because the sniper instructor used to say that you should never shoot in the same spot in a row, as that would make you a target for enemy snipers.

・・・・・・

Looking at the corpse of the corporal with glasses, Chen Dao licked his lips and muttered for a long time without speaking.

Squatting down to pick up the glasses that flew to his feet, Chen Dao silently stuffed the glasses into his satchel.

Turning around and rushing into the dilapidated building, Chen Dao walked around the ruins, walked to the window of the living room, reached out and tore down the white curtains, and then used a bayonet to cut two strips of cloth more than two meters long, connected the two strips of cloth into a long strip of cloth, and after tying a slipknot at one end of the strip of cloth, Chen Dao walked out of the building.

Carefully leaning against the wall to block his body, Chen Dao threw the strip of cloth with the slipknot side and landed at the feet of the German sniper.

"Put your foot in that slipknot." Chen Dao shouted.

The wounded sniper struggled to lift his right foot into the slipknot, and the two cooperated with each other to attach the slipknot to the sniper's foot.

Chen Dao reached out and tugged at the strip of cloth, dragging the sniper towards him little by little・・・・・・

The sniper's action made Chen Dao awe-inspired, and the seriously injured sniper did not forget to grab the belt of the sniper rifle and bring the sniper rifle to Chen Dao's feet.

Holding the sniper's feet, Chen Dao dragged the sniper's body into a safe area, and sighed, Chen Dao squatted down and picked up the sniper's head.

"Hold on, I'll have someone go to the Medic." Chen Dao then shouted to the artillerymen on the other side of the street, "Go find a medic." ”

Looking at the sniper's bubbling and bleeding lower abdomen, the inexperienced Chen Dao was helpless, and could only watch as the sniper slowly closed his eyes.

Chen Dao stretched out his hand to test the sniper's nostrils, and then touched the sniper's pulse, his body went limp, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Putting down the still warm body of the sniper in his arms, Chen Dao lit a cigarette and took a few puffs until it was hot.

Picking up the sniper rifle, Chen Dao took out four cartridges from the sniper's body and put them on his body, and said silently: "I bet you are not aiming at me now." ”

After a few silent recitations, Chen Dao mustered up the courage to rush out and ran back to the gunner.

・・・・・・

Piszczek, who was constantly wandering and shooting in the municipal building, had four more results in his hands at this time, and he also saw that the sniper of the Polish army in the building was shot in the head and fell to the ground, and blood and brains flowed all over the ground.

Piszczek, who had moved to the fourth floor, stretched out his gun from a window to aim, and saw a German figure galloping, and after throwing a shot without hesitation, Piszczek shifted his position again.

・・・・・・

Returning to the gunners, Chen Dao used a sniper rifle to hold the ground, rubbed his right hand on the calf of his right leg, and then saw that his palm was already bright red.

"Damn, you can hit this!" Chen Dao scolded.

Gently pressing on the severely painful calf, Chen Dao sat down against the wall with the support of the two gunners. At this time, a gunner ran back with a medic.

"My leg hurts." Chen Dao pointed to his calf and said.

The medic asked Chen Dao to take off his leather boots and lie on the ground, cut open the blood-stained trouser leg and examine it carefully.

"Major, you are very lucky, it should be a ricochet, the wound is not deep, otherwise this leg of yours will be useless." The medics used tweezers to remove the bullet embedded in Chen Dao's calf, and then wrapped it with a medicinal bandage on his hands and feet.

Putting back on his boots, Chen Dao felt that the pain in his right leg had eased a lot.

After thanking the medics, Chen Dao stuffed the sniper rifle and four magazines in his hand to a gunner, and then ordered: "Let's find a place where we can fire artillery, and I will demolish this building." ”

"We moved to the east side of the building and from there destroyed their load-bearing walls." Said a gunner.

Chen Dao nodded in agreement, and the gunners pushed the infantry guns and 37mm anti-tank guns to move eastward, and Chen Dao limped behind.

The three guns moved to a block on the east side of the municipal building, and ran head-on into six German infantrymen, who ran north in groups of two carrying wooden boxes, and one of the leading sergeants turned his head to see Chen Dao's man and kindly shouted: "Major, the Poles in this neighborhood have not been cleared, you should be careful." ”

"Got it, thanks." Chen Dao shouted, and then Chen Dao ordered the gunners to wait and stay on the side of the street.

Armed with a submachine gun, Chen Dao rushed to the bottom of a four-story building after the six German soldiers, and although he was standing outside, Chen Dao could clearly hear the gunshots coming from the building, the shouts of soldiers, and the occasional grenade explosion.

Seeing Chen Dao limping over, the six soldiers saluted Chen Daoxing together.

Chen Dao saw the meaning of inquiry in their eyes, and took the initiative to ask: "I want to shell the building in front of me through this street, you say that there are still Poles resisting on this street?" ”

"Yes, Major, they are in this building, they are the last defenders on this street, and our men are fighting with them,." The sergeant said, pointing to the four floors beside him.

"How long will it take to take the building? I don't want my men to be shot by the Poles in the building when they fire. Chen Dao asked.

"They blocked all the staircases, kept throwing grenades down, and we managed to take the west half of the building, but the west half and the east half were separated by a wall, and we are now going to blow up a few passages in the wall with explosives." The sergeant said.

As soon as Chen Dao was about to speak, he saw two infantry running out of the building with an officer covered in blood and dying, and Chen Dao and the others hurriedly got out of the way.

"Lieutenant Lorenz was also wounded by a grenade from the Poles, these damned Poles." The sergeant cursed angrily.

"Where are they going to send him?" Chen Dao asked.

The sergeant pointed to a small two-story building on the side of the street and said, "We have gathered the wounded in that building, and the medic is treating them. ”

"How many wounded?" Chen Dao asked.

"About twenty."

Chen Dao said to a private: "Turn right on the street in front, you will see some artillerymen, and there is a medic in it, you go and call the medic to come and help treat the wounded." ”

The private glanced at the sergeant, who nodded, and the private ran in the direction pointed by Chen Dao.

"Sgt. Sergeant, I have a way to reduce the casualties of occupying this building, and we can ・・・・・・ this," Chen Dao quickly said his thoughts.

"My idea requires a lot of explosives and the help of sappers." Chen Dao said.

The sergeant's eyes rolled a few times, and then he said excitedly: "We are sappers." Major, this method of yours is a bit more troublesome, but it will reduce our casualties, just by occupying the west side of the building, we almost killed and wounded a platoon, we should have met you earlier. ”

"Hurry up, we're running out of time." Chen Dao urged.

The sergeant nodded, and then led his subordinates to take out pieces of explosives from the wooden boxes they carried and set them up, and the infantrymen who had been notified in the building withdrew from the building one after another, and set up machine guns around the building to prevent the Polish troops in the building from breaking through.

Chen Dao ran back to the street where the artillerymen were and led the artillerymen to squat at the corner of the street to prepare to watch the play.

The sappers ran in and out of the building, delivering boxes of explosives to the first floor of the building, placing explosives on all the walls that the sappers suspected of being load-bearing walls, and finally, under the cover of the infantry, the sappers pulled out of the building with slender wires until a safe distance.

Attaching the other end of the wire to the detonator, the German sappers mercilessly detonated the explosives.

A muffled sound rang out in the building, and Chen Dao shivered as he saw the east side of the four-story building, and then collapsed like a giant that had been stripped of all its bones, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After the dust cleared, the infantry rushed up to check the ruins for any surviving Polish troops.

Chen Dao stared coldly at the ruins like a hill, and said in his heart that there would definitely be no survivors under an explosion of this scale, which could be regarded as avenging the glasses corporal with an arrow. Of course, the real enemy is the unknown Polish sniper, and when I forcibly demolish the five-story building and bury the Polish sniper alive to avenge you, it will be regarded as a repayment for the kindness you taught me the tactics of forced demolition.

The engineer sergeant found Chen Dao and respectfully saluted Chen Dao: "Thank you, major, your tactics have allowed us to avoid many casualties. ”

Chen Dao smiled and patted the sergeant's shoulder and said, "I'm in a hurry, goodbye." ”

After speaking, Chen Dao led the gunners to push the three guns to the collapsed building, and at this time the infantry had already checked the collapsed area and found no surviving Poles.

As soon as Chen Dao chose a suitable position to set up the cannon, the engineer sergeant ran behind Chen Dao and asked, "Major, my next target is also that building, that building should be an important stronghold of the Poles, what should we do?" ”

"I'm going to use these three guns to destroy the load-bearing walls of the building and bury the Poles alive." Chen Dao said.

The engineer sergeant exchanged glances with a freshly arrived army captain, and it occurred to him that the Air Force people were indeed more vicious, but I liked it.

Chen Dao greeted the captain with a bow on the head, and then ordered the gunner to open fire, but the results of the shelling greatly disappointed Chen Dao, and the shells of the 37mm and 75mm infantry guns only left dozens of large and small craters in the wall, until the gunners of the 75mm infantry guns reported that the shells were exhausted, and the three guns did not destroy even a single wall.

Chen Dao carefully looked at the building through the binoculars, and then noticed that there were countless craters of different sizes and shades on the walls of the building, which should be the masterpieces left by the German artillery last night.

The smallest guns used by the German artillerymen who shelled Kutno last night were 105 mm caliber, but under the blow of the German artillery, the overall frame of the building was still intact, which shows how strong the building is.

"The building is much stronger than we thought, and our shelling has only left a few craters on it." Chen Daoming solemnly handed the telescope to the engineer sergeant.

"The building is surrounded by a square, and there is no place to hide, and a strong attack will cause a lot of casualties." The captain said.

"We're going to have to think again." Chen Dao said, and the two of them stepped aside to discuss.

・・・・・・

On the roof of the municipal building, Piszczek cautiously bared his head and looked at the street on the east side of the building with a scope.

The roar of the four-story building as it collapsed caught his attention, and he quickly moved to the roof of the municipal building, ready for a possible German attack on the east side of the building.

In the scope, he clearly saw that three German artillery crews were bombarding the building with 37mm anti-tank guns and 75mm infantry guns, and a German with a telescope stood not far behind the three guns.

It was supposed to be an officer, and Piszczek silently aimed his crosshair at the German with the telescope, and then pulled the trigger.

・・・・・・

Chen Dao and the army captain were discussing how to take the building, the army captain suddenly looked behind Chen Dao with a frightened face, Chen Dao turned around in horror, and saw the engineer sergeant lying on his back on the ground, his right eye had become a bottomless black hole, and behind his head, blood mixed with white brain pulp was gushing out.

Chen Dao was stunned for a moment, then jumped up like an electric shock, and dodged behind a broken wall. As soon as Chen Dao dodged, a 37-mm gunner let out a scream and fell to the ground, and the other gunners scattered in panic, leaving only three guns alone.

Chen Dao hid behind the broken wall and didn't dare to show his head, and the captain leaned over and said, "We need tank support, or large-caliber artillery." ”

"We don't have any of these things, so there's no other way to take this building?" Chen Dao shouted.

"It's okay to have smoke grenades, we can use the cover of smoke grenades to rush under the building and blow this building up."

The captain said.

Chen Dao was just about to speak, when he suddenly looked up at the sky, and four planes flew from west to east over Kutno City.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Dao's eyes, and he asked the army captain, "If a bomber comes, do you have a way to indicate the target for the bomber?" ”

"Yes, I can use a green smoke grenade to indicate a target."

"I have a way to take out the enemies in this building, but I need a radio." Chen Dao said.

"I can take you to the battalion commander, he has a radio there, and you want to ask the Air Force for help?" The captain looked at Chen Dao's Air Force uniform.

Chen Dao nodded and said, "Take me there." ”

Under the leadership of the captain, Chen Dao quickly found an army major, and after explaining his intentions, the major readily agreed to Chen Dao's request to use the radio.

"Major Heisenberg, the target is a five-story building, very strong, I need you to wipe that building off the ground in the shortest possible time, and when the plane arrives, I will launch a green smoke grenade to show you the target." Chen Dao shouted into the microphone.

Putting down the microphone, Chen Dao said, "Major, please prepare the green smoke bombs." ”

The army major nodded, but first gave an order to evacuate the surrounding German troops, and then sent an 81mm mortar crew to carry green smoke grenades to support Chen Dao.

・・・・・・

Piszczek hid by a window on the east side of the third floor and found that the Germans outside the building seemed to be missing, and the gunfire around him was getting weaker.

"The Germans retreated?" Piszczek asked his comrades in the same room.

"I don't know, maybe it's some conspiracy."

Piszczek ran to the roof of the building with a sniper rifle, where the view was more open, and after walking around the roof, Piszczek finally spotted some retreating German troops on the north side of the building.

"They actually withdrew!" Piszczek returned to a room on the fourth floor and sat down against the wall.

"They're definitely going to regroup, they'll be back soon, so we're going to have to take a break." A Polish captain said.

Piszczek took off the kettle hanging beside him and poured it, the tactic of shooting and changing places just now really consumed a lot of his physical strength, and gave him countless sweat.

After drinking the water, Piszczek leaned against the wall, pulled down his helmet to cover his eyes and closed his eyes, but fell asleep under the hypnosis of endless weariness.

"The planes of the Germans, these damned crows." The curse of a comrade-in-arms was heard, and the tired Piszczek did not speak, but tilted his head to adjust his sleeping position.

Unbeknownst to the sleeping Piszczek, the roof of the building he was in was covered in green smoke, and the solitary building standing alone in the square was so striking from the sky that the pilots of the First Air Regiment quickly determined the goal of the trip.

The sleeping Piszczek suddenly opened his eyes and looked around with sleepy eyes, "What's the sound outside?" ”

"Airplanes, planes of the Germans, they are coming at us." A voice shouted hoarsely, and panic spread throughout the building.

Piszczek had just stood up with his sniper rifle when he heard the Polish soldier in the room, who was half-leaning out of the window and looking up at the sky, shouting: "The Germans are diving, oh my God, they're dropping bombs." ”

The soldier shouted and retracted and ran towards the door, but as Piszczek was about to stop him, he heard a loud bang, and his eyes went black, and countless blood sprayed on him.

The soldier had disappeared, and there was a strangely shaped hole in the floor, and Piszczek stood for a long time, not bothering to wipe the blood from his face, and cautiously walked to the hole, and looked up, and he saw a blue sky.

Looking down, a huge bomb was embedded in the floor of the third floor below, and it was this bomb that pierced the roof of the building, passed through the floors of the fifth and fourth floors, and killed the panicked Polish soldier.

Piszczek looked in horror at the dark gray bomb, a small fan at the tail of the bomb was spinning, and the whistling sound was like a steel needle piercing Piszczek's heart.

Taking two steps back, Piszczek let out a strange cry that did not resemble a human voice, and turned to run with his rifle, only to be shaken to the ground by an earthquake and then swallowed up by the flames that erupted from below・・・・・・
