I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 7 Close the door and beat the dog
Lin Chen was lying on the balcony on the other side of the third floor at this moment. The firepower of the German divisional artillery was also quite powerful.

Although the entire building was shaking violently, it did not fall down.

This building was originally a hotel-style apartment. Because the winters in Stalingrad were so cold, its design was unique in order to keep warm.

The brick walls are twice as thick as those of ordinary houses, and there are a lot of steel bars inside. The whole building is almost a steel-concrete entity. It will never be destroyed unless it is directly hit by super heavy artillery like K39.

It is obviously impossible for super-heavy artillery to reach here through the intricate blocks.

If aerial bombs were used, the accuracy would be greatly reduced due to the anti-aircraft guns on the other side of the river and the elusive Soviet fighter jets on standby around the clock.

There are many places where aerial bombs are needed, and the Fourth Air Force cannot waste its limited air strike force in such places.

However, even though the building was very solid, Lin Chen did not feel at ease at all, because the enemy was serious this time!

Sure enough, this time the enemy used machine guns to suppress the two fire points on the first floor, and the assault guns stopped outside the machine gun range to provide direct fire support.

Because the soldiers who escaped after the previous round of failed attacks pointed out that the other side had a very strong sniper, the four mortars randomly bombarded the roof of the building and suppressed possible sniper points in all directions.

The first wave of attack consisted of about 70 people. They only stepped on a few mines on the periphery and lost a few people, but they approached the outer wall of the building relatively smoothly. Seeing that the door was blocked, the tactically skilled German army quickly took out several M24 grenades, pulled the strings, paused for a few seconds, and then threw them in through the hole in the window.

With several loud noises, the German army finally broke in through the window.

A smug smile appeared on Schumann's face. Facing such firepower, the Soviet army had no chance of withstanding!
When the German army entered the building, the smoke had not yet dissipated and the vision was severely obstructed, so no one dared to go deeper immediately.

When visibility improved, the German troops split into two groups, one heading left and the other heading right. After clearing the first floor, they joined forces in the middle and then attacked the second floor through the stairs, clearing out the enemies floor by floor until they occupied the entire floor.

The sergeant leading the team to the left pointed his MP40 submachine gun forward, signaling the scouts to rush in and explore the way.

However, just after passing the first door, the booby traps hanging under my feet went off. (Needless to say, these were Lin Chen's masterpieces)
The legs of two scouts were blown off on the spot and they fell to the ground wailing, leaving everyone a little at a loss.

"Go again!" The edges of the epaulettes and collar badges of the leading sergeant were sealed, indicating that he was a corporal. Such a person was obviously a veteran. He was already accustomed to such scenes. The key now was to complete the mission. What did a few deaths matter?
Two more people came up from behind immediately, and the other soldiers carried the wounded on their backs, preparing to send them to the rear for emergency treatment. But everyone knew that the entire German army had a lot of wounded soldiers, and these two people would most likely die if they were sent back. Even if they were rescued, amputation would be the best outcome.

However, before they could be sent out, there was another loud bang. This time the booby trap was on the handle behind the door, and the two were killed instantly.

"You, you, you, come with me and provide cover fire!" The corporal's face was ferocious and terrifying. He continued to deploy manpower, then took out a grenade from his body and threw it inside. With a loud bang, he took the lead and rushed in. Naturally, the soldiers behind him could only bite the bullet and rush in.

After rushing through the wide lobby door, the view inside was much wider. This was a hall that could accommodate dozens of people, with some damaged tables and chairs placed in the middle.

"Don't touch anything here. Shoot if you see anything suspicious. Don't be stingy with your bullets!" The corporal was experienced and he knew that these seemingly ordinary places were often full of dangers.

It was also because of this that he was able to survive the brutal street fighting and was promoted step by step from private to corporal.

"Da da da!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Crisp gunshots rang out everywhere, but the enemy didn't see a single hair.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Crack clap!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of fierce gunfire coming from the attacking team in another direction behind them. The sound of the Soviet PPSh submachine gun was very crisp and could be distinguished at once.

From the sound, they were ambushed by the enemy. Heart-wrenching screams began to be heard, causing the dozen people here to tremble.

"Sir, are we going to rescue them?"

A new recruit was obviously a little impatient and asked quickly.

"No, we have our mission, and we have people outside the building, they will provide reinforcements!"

He was very experienced and knew that panicking at this time would be the stupidest option, and that remaining calm was the only way to survive.

Sure enough, a team on standby outside the building quickly rushed in to reinforce to the right, and a dozen immature soldiers looked at the commander in front of them with reverence. Only if you can make the right judgment on the battlefield will your subordinates believe in and support you.

"Let's keep moving forward. There are still a few rooms left that we must search!"

He led the way forward and even successfully avoided a booby trap along the way, which immediately boosted everyone's confidence. Now there was only one last room left.

A grenade went over.

"boom!"

The already dilapidated wooden door was blown to pieces, and after making sure there was nothing inside, the corporal still fired a burst of bullets from his submachine gun.

Then let people rush in carefully.

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the enemy's defense focus was on the upper floors.

But the smile on his face has not yet spread.

Several smoking things suddenly threw things out of the flue and windows.

"No, retreat quickly!"

The corporal in charge saw that the situation was not good and immediately asked everyone to evacuate. However, with only one door, how could several people possibly run out at once?
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three grenades exploded, and the few people who had just rushed in were immediately blown to pieces.

The corporal was at the door and lay down in time. He was wearing a German M35 helmet, so he was lucky enough to survive, but his left arm was still injured by the shrapnel, leaving a large cut and bleeding.

"Sir, you are wounded." The private behind him was terrified when he saw the omnipotent commander was injured.

"Why are you so surprised? Quickly retreat to the gate and join the main force!"

Seeing this, a senior exempt soldier (with two double V marks on his left arm) at the back quickly told everyone to retreat. This building was full of murderous intent and he didn't want to stay there for a moment.

However, no one noticed that when passing by the hall that could accommodate dozens of people, an MG34 machine gun barrel was quietly extended from behind the destroyed bar on the side.
