995 subway entrance
Distant artillery fire was constantly ploughing the land of Moscow, and Chris was crawling slowly in the ruins, trying to make his movements as inconspicuous as possible.
The gunfire around him was very dense, and he had to find a suitable position in this place to snipe the opposing soldiers.
As the fighting in Moscow became more and more fierce, the Soviet snipers finally disappeared and the losses were too fast, and the Soviet snipers were replenished far less quickly than their German counterparts.
When he had climbed over a huge obstacle made of cement and bricks, he saw a large crater in front of him.
Tumbling into the pit, Chris waited behind him, his father, who kept crawling after him, and Ciric.
Climbing to the edge of the crater, he looked not far away from a gap and saw a Soviet position.
The position was built with sandbags and other rubble, and reinforced with an 85 mm anti-aircraft gun.
Such elaborate defensive positions are actually rare in Moscow. As the battle progressed, the Soviet defense line became more and more a temporary defense line, and it was no longer a carefully constructed defensive position.
"Look at that, it seems to be the entrance to some kind of underground bunker!" Sensing someone crawling behind him, Chris didn't look back and whispered.
Behind him, the old man who climbed up also saw the busy Soviet position, nodded and said, "Indeed, it seems to be a very important place." ”
Behind the sandbags, Soviet soldiers were carrying artillery shells and covering some positions with some camouflage nets.
"Report this place to the combat troops! Maybe they're looking for this place! Daddy retreated to a slightly lower position and said to Ciric, who had just taken his seat.
They could see it clearly from the outside, but the Soviet soldiers on the opposite side could not see such a distance. But they already knew that the Germans were not far from here.
Behind a dense sandbag, the Soviet commander was anxiously deploying his defenses, and he was going to hold on here, because behind him was an entrance to the Moscow underground fortifications.
The Moscow metro has just been built with a main line at this moment, which is still far from the developed scale of later generations.
But it was built along with the Moscow anti-aircraft bunker, buried more than 40 meters underground, and it can be called one of the most secluded and safe bunkers in the world.
Because of the fighting, the subway has long been paralyzed, and the entire subway line is an underground troop transport line of the Soviet Union, and it is also a line of defense.
Now, the Soviet soldiers deployed at the entrance of the subway station are waiting for an attack by German soldiers on the opposite side that may appear at any time.
"The Germans will attack from the left and the right together, forming a pincer offensive." Looking at the terrain at both ends of the streets and alleys, the Soviet commander muttered a little depressedly.
He's also an experienced commander, so when he sees where he's going to defend, he knows it's not going to be an easy job.
As long as a German tank appeared at one end, the anti-aircraft gun position he deployed near the entrance to the subway would not be able to be saved.
Once the heavy firepower is lost, then the fall here is only a matter of time. Even so, he had no intention of giving up.
"Plant explosives! If the Germans rush over, blow up this entrance! It must be resolute that we cannot allow the Germans to enter the underground fortifications from here! As he watched into the distance, he urged his men to plant explosives.
"Suddenly! Sudden Sudden Rush! Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire from the near point, apparently Soviet soldiers, who had been dispersed, retreated to the other side of the street.
The sound of German submachine gun fire, accompanied by the crisp gunfire of Mosin's Nagant rifle, was very fierce, and it was clear that the Germans were pursuing the scattered Soviet soldiers.
The first Soviet soldier to burst out of the street was shot dead by friendly forces defending on this side of the tight street.
The second Soviet soldier who ran out was so frightened that he held his head and shouted, and when he saw that no one was shooting again, he hurried across the wide road.
He raced down the road, rifle in hand, and ran in front of the friendly positions before rolling into the trench behind the sandbags.
"The Germans! The Germans are just across the street! The soldier rolled over and rolled into the trench and shouted.
As he shouted, the Soviet soldiers stationed near the subway entrance became even more nervous. Some more Soviets tried to cross the road, but they were not as lucky as the Soviets who had just crossed the road.
When these Soviet troops crossed the road, in the ruins of the high-rise buildings on both sides, German gunners had already opened fire to stop them.
The machine gun suddenly rang out, and the Germans began to block the fire on one side of the street, and a dense stream of bullets flew through the spacious street, quickly knocking down dozens of Soviet soldiers who wanted to cross the street in the middle of the street.
“!” On the Soviet position, a recruit gunner trembled with fright and fired a bullet. Then he found out that no one but himself had fired a shot.
"The Germans are on the other side! Street corner! See? Looking at the other side of his defensive position, the Soviet commander at the head shouted to his subordinates.
The Germans were crossing the street in the distance, and they were going to occupy several buildings next to the subway station, at which point they could condescendingly open fire on the Soviet troops near the entrance to the subway station.
"Inside the building next door! Go 10 more people! Hold on there and don't take a step back! The commander of the Soviet army, looking nervously at the approaching German troops, opened his mouth to command.
"Boom!" It seemed as if a grenade had exploded in the building, and the loud reverberation made everyone shrink their necks involuntarily.
"Left! Left! Tanks of the Germans! Anti-tank guns ready to fire! "On the other side, the side that was not leaning against the building, a German tank smashed through the obstacle blocking the road and drove slowly.
The tank was followed by German soldiers, but because of the distance, it was not so realistic. But judging by the speed of movement of the tank, it should be followed by the infantry protecting it.
"Get ready to fight! The Germans have already come! What about sappers? Have you planted the explosives? This entrance could not be left to the Germans! The commander of the Soviet army frowned, lowered his voice and ordered.
With his shout, the nervous Soviet soldiers stretched their guns out of cover and aimed at the approaching German soldiers in the distance.
