The priest's report pleased Heisenberg, who did not regret handing over the most important part of the line of defense to him.

He and his grenadiers are good fighters, and they are good at dealing with tanks. The line of defense they had erected gave Heisenberg reason to believe that it was impregnable: "Oh, Father, what is the problem? ”

"What should we do with the bodies, bones and coffins that have been exhumed from the grave? Just throw them on the ground? ”

It's almost 5 o'clock. They no longer have the capital to discuss issues that are not vital to life. "Just put them with the crosses on the graves, and dig a few more pits around the crosses, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to lie down in them. What do you say, priest? ”

The priest nodded silently: "Amen......"

Heisenberg looked up tiredly, the sky was still overcast, and the dull dark clouds were like a torrent of steel rolling in the sky, squeezing and twisting the faint sunlight.

A cold wind blew across his cheeks. It looks like it's going to snow.

"Well, the family remembers their duty, retreat quickly from the line of defense, avoid all fearless losses, and at the end of all, remember that we are going to bring the Russians into the city, lead them to the cemetery line, and then smash them there with Moder assault guns! Major Bolorsky will be on everyone's side, and Zov and I will be interspersed in the various lines. God forbid! If we're all alive tomorrow morning—I'll invite you all to drink brandy! ”

Heisenberg made the last proclamation to the commanders, and the people saluted and turned away, the only thing that caught Heisenberg's attention. It was a wry smile that flashed across Zoff's face.

But Hasson suddenly stood up and asked in a striking voice, "Captain, what about the backstreets?" What if the enemy infiltrates through the backstreets? ”

The backstreets became the graves of Russian tanks in previous battles. Ten new Russian tanks were ambushed by German troops, and the soldiers broke up the enemy's offensive with grenades and Molotov cocktails from the second floor, leaving only the remains of the tanks that crowded the back streets. The wreckage filled the already narrow back streets. What's more, Heisenberg has already arranged for 5 soldiers to build a simple defensive line there, and any attack by the Russian army there tonight will end in disarray.

Zoff threw away the canned box: "I'll be there." He stood up and announced loudly.

Indeed, with Dahan's words, everyone is at ease.

"Hassen." Heisenberg called out the young man's name: "You stay, follow us." ”

Ultimately. With several captains discussing tactics as they walked to the defensive line, Major Rutherford suddenly took a telegram and ran out: "Hey, good news! ”

Everyone stopped and looked back at him.

"Karrumbu. Lieutenant General Rommel has just sent a telegram. The Barons' Guard, under the personal command of Field Marshal Ernst, will be able to arrive as early as tonight, and tomorrow morning at the latest, to support the defense of Levto! Good news! Tell every soldier the news! We're going to be here - to annihilate the Russians tonight! Defend our oath with your life! We can hold the door to Germany – we can turn the tide of the war here! Victory - it must belong to the Germans! Long live Germany! Long live the Baron! Long live the Führer! ”

The armored corps major stood in the middle of the street. Shouted feverishly.

It's getting dark.

Heisenberg watched it all. whispered to his comrades-in-arms: "This ...... Maybe it's all hope. ”

"Who's?"

Heisenberg was a little surprised, and the big man would ask himself, "Soldiers." Heisenberg turned his head to look at Zoff.

"And so are you." He pointed to the Iron Cross around Heisenberg's neck, smiled, and patted Heisenberg on the shoulder.

When Heisenberg and Zov came out of the small warehouse of the armored corps, the first wave of fire preparation of the Russian army began. With a flash of light on the horizon in the distance, clusters of twisted black objects pierced the sky, leaving ripples of air. Eventually exploded on the ground. This wave of artillery bombardment can kill everyone in the German army, but unfortunately the Russian army's calculations are not good enough. All those shells hit the woods on the south bank of the river. Those poor trees were uprooted by the force of the explosion, and then pushed out by the air waves, burning to ashes in the air.

The explosion was earth-shattering, but there was no danger.

"Ivan, if you count her mother a little bit, you will definitely be able to hit Berlin with one shot!" Heisenberg smiled wryly.

"They didn't use rocket artillery? Look down on us! Zoff muttered angrily as he hung a grenade around his waist.

"Hey, Hassan, what are you doing hiding there and sneaking around?" Dahan found the young soldier hiding in a corner of the warehouse.

"I—I'm writing, sir. "Hasson looked a little embarrassed. But when his companions looked at him, they knew that the explosion and the sound of the shelling had frightened the poor child.

"Write a last word to your family! Come on—stop writing, let's go. Heisenberg threw a submachine gun at the young man: "Tell us what you have to say on the way." Zoff and I are your parents! Heisenberg glanced at the big man: "Isn't that right, my dear?" ”

"Let's go-" Dahan smiled and waved at Hassen: "Let's go, go to work with Dad!" ”

Along the way, the soldiers operating the Moder assault guns, the shooters of the two 10-mm guns, and the grenadiers of the cemetery defense line saluted and cheered in unison. They trotted all the way to the church to join Paul Jr.'s 12-man unit before the Russian attack.

Paul Jr. turned the entire Catholic church into a bunker. The windows were all made of sandbags and left small openings for shooting, and they dug a small trench in the land in front of the church and placed the only MG62 there, facing north.

Although Paul's Wehrmacht was well prepared, when he walked into the church, Heisenberg saw Jesus and the cross on the wall at the end of the hall, and Heisenberg's heart was filled with heaviness.

"Sir." Paul Jr. appeared in front of Heisenberg: "Are you sure we are going to give up this position?" ”

Heisenberg looked back at the distance between the church and the left-wing museum, a small square about 30 meters wide. "Yes. We have to give up here. Wait until the enemy attack eases slightly. We'll withdraw. ”

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of a deafening bell overhead. The clock was originally used to tell the hour on the top floor of the church.

"Alert! Alert! The enemy is approaching the middle - north, northeast! The sound echoed throughout the halls of the church. The earth began to shake slightly. Heisenberg walked briskly out of the church and stood in the doorway looking in the direction of the museum. Ruben stood in the doorway and gave a thumbs up to Heisenberg. When Heisenberg turned his gaze to the cemetery, the priest was standing in the most prominent position of the position and nodding to Heisenberg. Eventually, Heisenberg caught a glimpse of Major Bolorsky on the roof of the second floor of the museum, with his beloved sniper rifle set up.

The earth was shaking, and it was almost dark. Only a ray of pale under the dark clouds in the east barely illuminated the bushes to the north of the city. Russian troops are about to emerge from here.

"Listen—they're coming." Zoff turned his head and quipped Hassan.

The young man turned his ears and listened attentively.

"Ula-Ula-Ula-" The rhythmic shouts of tens of millions of Russian troops before the attack were clear and audible from far and near. "Ullah-Ulla-Ulla-" The shaking of the earth stopped. And the bloody shouts in the distance continued. Heisenberg glanced at Zoff beside him, and the big man put his rifle to his shoulder and smiled palely at Heisenberg. Heisenberg looked around. The Wehrmacht soldiers all stuck their weapons out of the window, motionless, but the solemnity of their faces revealed an irrepressible nervousness.

"Ulla-Ulla-Ulla-" The sound was like a cramp in the stomach of a hungry beast, as if it was only waiting for its prey to appear. and pounced. Tear it up! Suddenly, the sound of running water came from behind him. Heisenberg and Zoff slowly turned their heads.

Hasson peed his pants.

"Hassan, put down your gun and sit down next to me for a while. Just don't fuck it when you retreat for a while. Heisenberg pulled the young man into a corner beside him, and he clung to the steel helmet on his head and wept in shame. This kid seems to be a rookie and hasn't fought much.

"Delia - Ula !!" This time the shouts were deafening, and the sound sounded like an explosion. "Bellia" is the Russian word for charge. The earth shook violently. Experienced veterans are well aware that the sea of Russian troops is coming.

Really. Countless figures rushed out of the woods in the north at once. Bullets followed, hitting the walls of the church. Several flags stood in the sea of Russian charges. The soldiers around him didn't need to be ordered, and they all opened fire. Suddenly, Heisenberg could hear nothing but the sound of gunfire and bullet casings falling to the ground. The Russian offensive was like a heavy Turkish carpet - each warrior was a fiber, densely covering the ground in front of him, devouring all obstacles in front of him.

The enemy advanced fearlessly, and although they were swept away by German fire, they still stepped on each other's corpses. The Ivan are nimble, they will roll on the run, play dead, dodge the bullets that come at them. The MG62 machine gun screamed wildly, spinning and tearing at every enemy in its path, and the body hit by its bullets dismembered and shattered into a cloud of blood as it ran. Zov's rifle did not stop for a moment, and the big man mechanically fired, pulled the bolt, and loaded the ammunition...... Heisenberg's submachine guns had a limited range, but Heisenberg repeatedly saw the Russian soldiers who led the charge with flags repeatedly knocked down with precision from Zoff's bullets. However, the flag was still raised again and again by Soviet soldiers, and the charge continued without a moment's pause.

"My God!" Heisenberg heard a soldier roaring wildly.

Just as Heisenberg was about to focus on the crosshairs, one of the warriors beside him suddenly staggered backwards. He threw down the gun in his hand and opened his mouth as if he had just woken up from a dream. Except for Heisenberg, everyone was shooting wildly, and no one paid attention to him. However, the strange soldier slowly turned to Heisenberg...... Heisenberg remembered that his left eyebrow bone had been shattered and was about to fall out, and he opened his mouth wide in fear and shoved his eyeball into it with his hand. To no avail, however, his eyeballs rolled down and fell to the ground......

Heisenberg tried his best to block Hazen with his body, hoping that the young man did not see all this. "Steady—steady!" Heisenberg didn't care about him, he just gave orders, not wanting to see anyone's spirit collapse at this time.

At one point, a small offensive from the northeast attracted Heisenberg's attention. Several enemy soldiers, under the cover of a row of old houses, rushed to a very close distance from the back door of the church. Heisenberg called little Paul by name and told him to deal with the threats that were so close at hand. Little Paul moved with Heisenberg to the back door of the church. The back door was in a small porch behind the great cross crucified Jesus. Little Paul quickly replaced a new magazine and pulled out a grenade with his other hand. When they reached the porch of the back door, the Germans stopped. Heisenberg looked him in the eye and motioned for him to throw the grenade out as soon as he opened the door, while Heisenberg pulled out his pistol and held it in his other hand. But - at this time, the back door of the church was blown open by a sudden explosion! This was completely unexpected, and all of a sudden there was a white light in front of him—the shock wave of the explosion threw Heisenberg directly onto the wall behind him. Heisenberg instinctively fired at the bombed-out doorway. But he couldn't see anything, and his ears were filled with buzzing noise......

As soon as the smoke of the explosion had cleared, Heisenberg had already heard a few Russians babbling outside the door. Heisenberg felt that they were about to come in. So he barely got up, ready to pull the trigger at any moment. But as soon as he picked up his gun, he heard little Paul shout loudly: "Get down! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a grenade was thrown out of the doorway. Landed outside the door that was close at hand. A violent explosion rang in my ears again. White once again takes over everything in the swirling world. Heisenberg felt a hot and humid liquid rain down on his face, and a stick of wood went straight through and stabbed into Heisenberg's shoulder. Heisenberg roared and pulled the stick out of his body and crawled towards little Paul in a slump of smoke, the smell of minced flesh filling the air.

"- sir- don't, don't me!" Little Paul grabbed Heisenberg in the smoke of gunfire: "You're right—we can't hold it—give up the church, they'll come in sooner or later." Quick, get out! Heisenberg opened his eyes. Look at this little captain with shrapnel all over his face and blood flowing everywhere.

"Let's go—follow me!" Heisenberg dragged him. was pushed away by him: "My legs ...... Gone...... It's over. - you take the brothers...... Walk ......"

Heisenberg touched it with his hand, and little Paul's left leg was only a blurred mass of flesh and blood, and the bones poked out in a daze......

The explosion just now killed the Russian outside the door, but it was too close to himself.

"Quick...... Come on! He pushed Heisenberg away.

"Take it." Heisenberg untied a grenade from his waist and stuffed it into his hand, which was the best reward Heisenberg could give him: "I will take my brothers with me." Heisenberg tapped him on the shoulder and staggered out of the porch.

Wehrmacht soldiers were still shooting wildly out of the church, and several fighters fell to the ground struggling, but Heisenberg could no longer hear the screams of MG62 outside the door. Heisenberg called Zoff's name and told him that the Germans were now retreating as planned. Hearing his order, the soldiers reluctantly fired their last shot, and then helped the wounded beside them to leave the position. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the church, ready to rush out of the hall together.

Enemy bullets came in through the cracks in those bunkers, and the pillars of the church were shot from time to time. "Huzen - come here!"

Heisenberg shouted the young man's name, and he ran to Heisenberg with his feverish weapon, looking to have overcome the fear he had just had.

"Stay behind me – don't go far!" At this moment, there was a rush of shooting and shouting from the back door of the church—those terrifying screams echoed repeatedly in the empty hall. Little Paul has done his part. "Hurry! Right now! Heisenberg commanded loudly: "Get out of the city!" ”

The main entrance was kicked open, and dozens of soldiers moved towards the side entrance of the museum, 30 meters away. However, the enemy's charge did not stop for a moment, and although the Reuben troops in the museum opened heavy fire and did their best to cover the German transfer, the first few soldiers who stepped out of the church door did not run a few steps before the Russian bullets ruthlessly overturned to the ground.

"Fuck you Russians!" Furious, the big man threw down his rifle and nimbly jumped into the machine-gun trench at the entrance outside the church. The two soldiers who had previously operated the machine gun were dead, and the body of one of them had been blown open, and organs flew everywhere, and the machine gun was covered with horrific blood.

Zov grabbed the machine gun, pulled the entire gun and base directly from the ground, and then he opened fire despite the long chain of bullets still holding it on the ground. The Ivan who charged towards the church were once again reduced to dismembered pieces of flesh in front of the screaming MG62, their still running limbs would be cut away from their bodies by the bullets, their skulls would be directly knocked away by the MG62's bullets, and those headless bodies would stumble and collapse after a few more steps of running...... The heavy light of the machine-gun fire illuminated the bloody cut in the faint light.

"Hurry! Museum! Heisenberg gave the order again, and the soldiers crowded around Heisenberg and ran to the museum 30 meters away.

Sparks erupted at Heisenberg's feet, bullets slying around them, occasionally burrowing into the body of a warrior. From time to time, someone stumbled down while running, and the other warriors picked them up and continued on their way. Although on these 30 meters without any cover, any moment of hesitation and slowness will be fatal. But for these soldiers, who were born and died, and got along day and night, leaving their wounded companions behind was an unacceptable choice.

Heisenberg too.

"Zoff! Zov! Come on – come on! Heisenberg ran as he turned back and shouted at the big man. Like a giant, Zov picked up his machine gun and calmly moved in the hail of bullets.

Every time he fired, the flames lit up his screaming face! (To be continued......)
