Chapter 124 Trap

He returned to the hidden place with three temporarily gathered night soldiers and handed over the Mauser sniper rifle and the alert mission to Wolfrum. Lynn leaned on the hot chair:

"There is no need to be restrained by all three! Can you tell me about your previous battle?"

Among the three, Brell, the rank of the military soldier, was the highest, responsible for carrying infrared night vision equipment, and he was also the one who had previously answered with Lynn.

Putting down the heavy equipment, Brell sat down directly against the wall and replied: "We were given the task to help friendly forces hold the barricades in the 6th block, where we stayed all morning, and the Soviet army showed up about an hour ago and launched an attack on the barricades!"

"Block 6? North of the city? An hour ago?"

Lin En thought about it and found that after breaking through the outer defense line, the Soviet army did not attack the north of the city first, but walked around the damaged road to the south of the city. It was so cunning!

Brell then briefly explained the battle process: "The enemy launched a group charge with more than 20 tanks, and the number of infantry was not large. They broke through the barricade in one breath. We tried our best to resist, but it was useless. Except for Sergeant Zwig, another of our companions was also killed. At first we wanted to retreat to the city center, but we encountered Soviet tanks and soldiers on the way, so we had to run to the south of the city!"

Lin En nodded and said in a sympathetic tone: "What a pity, the neighborhoods in the south of the city were captured by the Soviet army early on. The roads to the city are now in the hands of the enemy. They have deployed tanks and machine guns. We can only wait until it gets dark before trying our luck!"

Upon hearing the news, Brell and his two companions were both surprised and disappointed, but they finally accepted the reality calmly.

Seeing that Eva who had fallen asleep had already stood up, Lynn introduced: "By the way, this is a senior war correspondent from the Propaganda Department. The order our combat team received was to escort her back to the safe area behind! If you want, you can join us until the end of this mission!"

What else can these three soldiers who have been under Lynn’s command say?

Next, everyone talked without a word. The situation was bad and there was not enough food to fill their stomachs. The soldiers were not in high spirits. Ava kept silent for a long time. She neither asked Lynn nor tidied up her notebooks. Instead, she sat in a daze or fell asleep for a while. At five o'clock, Wolfrum came down with a rifle. He told Lynn that the battle in the city was very scattered. It seemed that there were not many German troops still standing still, and the Soviets had already occupied Olanin Fort.

Although there will be no major changes in this battle before dark, Lynn knew that there must be many troops trying to break through tonight, and the Soviets must be particularly vigilant.

The sky finally darkened, but Lin En was not in a hurry to lead the deployment and set off, but brought infrared night vision equipment alone to a lurking position during the day.

Soviet soldiers built simple defensive positions with sandbags at the intersection of the street and set up machine guns. They looked average, but there were many soldiers lurking in the nearby ruins, and a small team of tanks were on standby in the distance.

Obviously, it's a carefully arranged pocket, a trap.

There were still no stars and moonlight this night.

Just after 7 o'clock, gunfire sounded again in the slightly quiet city, and soon there were bursts of explosions mixed in. It seemed that the night war elites lurking in the basement, air raid shelters and other bunkers all began to take action.

Like a leopard waiting for prey, Lynn waited calmly.

Gradually, there were more gunfire and explosions. Although each place was not particularly intense, it still sounded like a huge momentum, as if the whole city was fighting.

Lin En was still keeping a close eye on the street. As the war in the city continued to expand, Soviet tanks, cars and entire teams of infantry passed by one after another, but the Soviet soldiers who were originally lurking around did not leave.

Could it be that the street intersection that he had been staring for an afternoon would become an insurmountable obstacle? Lin En was a little unwilling, but he had to consider other routes rationally. Following the combat sketch in his mind, using mental calculations to speculate the distances of different paths and the chance of success, the final conclusion is very frustrating: whether it is a detour from the east, west of the city, or breaking through from the south of the city, it must be intercepted by the Soviet army, and due to the effective distance limitation of infantry infrared night vision instruments, Soviet tanks may not be able to avoid them in time along the way, so any road is extremely dangerous!

This is not so much a risky breakthrough, but rather a hopeless bet on life.

Despite his deep despair, Lin Neng still maintained a calm mind. He waited and waited patiently. An hour passed and another hour passed. Although the German troops trapped in the city were weak in both strength and weapons, they still used their familiarity with the city to deal with the Soviet army with infrared night vision equipment. If it weren't for Eva's arrival, Lin Neng and his team should have shown their skills at this time. However, after witnessing the daytime battle, Lin Neng had given up the hope of using this city to restrain the consumption of the Soviet army. Berlin may be a big enough stage.

The sound of gunfire explosions one after another was like a stubborn boxer in the boxing ring. Although he was covered in bruises and weak, he still tried his best to dodge while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

As midnight approaches, someone finally begins to challenge the Soviet army in Lin En's sight to block the line.

The hundreds of soldiers were involved in the battle. Lin En was not sure if there were soldiers equipped with infrared night vision equipment among them, and he could not help them choose a safer breakout route. All he could do was to open fire at the place where the Soviet soldiers were lurking in advance when the battle was inevitable to disrupt the other party's deployment, and remind his soldiers to be careful of ambushing.

A Mars was enough to ignite the explosive barrel, and fierce battle broke out immediately. Although the German soldiers fought tenaciously based on the ruins and buildings, at the critical moment, the Soviet army suddenly turned on the vehicle-mounted searchlights deployed in the distance and fired flares, and almost the entire block was illuminated. The Soviet machine guns, mortars, tanks, and the infantry fighting on the spot woven a terrible firepower net. The German soldiers who tried to break through failed, but instead left a large number of bodies and retreated in panic, with far more than half of the casualties!

The corpses all over the ground made Lin En feel extremely heavy, and the sudden appearance of the Soviet searchlight made him even more afraid than ever before - they were the natural enemies of the "Vampire" commando!

There was no bell sound at midnight. As time went by, the German troops in the city were like boxers showing exhaustion. Although they were still fighting, they were far less fighting spirit and strength than in the middle of the night.

Lynn quietly returned to the hidden place, and it can be seen that the soldiers were both worried and anxious, and Eva was no exception.

The path to surrender to the Soviet army was unoptimized. Lin En, who had always made this decision, still made a decision:

"I am the leader, the rear of Brell, be careful during the action, especially in terms of voice! At critical moments, you should rush and you must not hesitate!"

After saying that, Lynn asked for two anti-tank grenades from Wolfrum, resolutely inserted them into his belt, checked and debugged all the equipment, glanced at everyone one by one, and nodded: "Go away!"

The group left the hidden place silently. On this cold night, there was only a little warmth here.

The dangerous intersection must be avoided. Lin Neng took these seven soldiers and the female field reporters for about a kilometer north, then turned east and walked for a while before seeing the road ahead. Lin Neng observed several people lurking on the road through an infrared night vision device.

Maybe it was Soviet soldiers, but maybe it was German soldiers who also wanted to break out of the city. They could not be distinguished in the night vision instrument, and the people were separated from each other for several meters, which was quite difficult to control. Lin Enxin made a decision and led the team to go north again. Seeing another intersection in front of him, he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop - he had to cross the road in this section!

I turned on the infrared night vision device and observed it. There was no one on the side of the road, but I vaguely saw the heat source in the ruins opposite.

This complex environment is simply challenging Lynn's bottom line of patience.

The young commander did not rush across the road recklessly, nor did he give up. He led his group to walk carefully to the next street intersection and stopped beside a completely collapsed building on the side of the road. After a while, the sound of gunfire from a distance gradually moved closer to this side, probably another German breakout unit. Lynn noticed that there were many people moving in the ruins near the street intersection. If there were no night vision instruments, there would be no way to see these guys who changed their lurking positions, but now...huhhhh!

"Prepare for the battle!" Lin Neng lowered his voice. In order to prevent the Soviet army from using the searchlight again, he reminded Tanze and Wolfrum: "Click the searchlight when you see it, try not to leave any one!"

As for Brewer, the user of the second night vision device is naturally an important firepower output in the night battle. However, Lynn could not see his expression in the darkness, nor did he know his fighting skills. I hope he is a good helper.
