Chapter 143: Abandoning the secret and turning to the light

With an assault rifle in a diagonal manner, Lin En did not use his leather boots to tug the remains of the Soviet soldiers, but carefully crossed them. While alive, everyone fought bloodyly for their own beliefs, endured the hardships that ordinary people could not bear, and faced the dangers that civilians could not imagine, and the death was the end. After that, they deserved the most basic respect.

Witnessing the remnants of this tragic battle, the Soviet colonel who was escorted by Brück and Tchimer again yelled resentfully, and Lynn simply ignored Wolfrum. After basically confirming that there were no enemies nearby, he turned around and walked to the German soldier who was supporting his injured companion and asked, "How did you get here? Do you know the way back to the city?"

The soldier replied in a hoarse and deep voice: "We belong to the 18th Armored Infantry Division, and were ordered to guard the sewer near the intersection of Graca Street and get instructions. Once we cannot resist the Soviet attack, we will detonate the explosives block the sewer switch. But we don't know if it is a detonator failure or a detonator failure. The explosives did not explode and could not defend the position, so we had to fight and retreat. Now the nine people are the two of us left!"

Knowing the pain of losing a companion, Lin En nodded helplessly to show sympathy.

"Sorry, sir, we are not familiar with the nearby sewer pipelines..." When the soldier said this, an extremely violent explosion suddenly sounded in the sewer. The huge shock caused the four walls to tremble, and fine cement blocks and dirt fell from above the head, making people feel that there could be collapse here at any time.

"Is it the explosive we buried?" the soldier asked and answered in surprise, "No, it shouldn't be. The Soviets wouldn't do this! So, is it another fork?"

When I first encountered such a situation, Lin En hurriedly asked, "What?"

In the darkness, the soldiers' expressions were not seen, but the trepidation and loss in his tone could be felt: "At least 100 pounds of strong explosives can produce such an effect. Sir, it is enough to collapse an eight fork!"

In the training camp of the "Vampire" commando, Lynn received very limited professional blasting training, but at least he knew that the explosives used to follow the Night War Assault Team to attack the Soviet camp for the first time were 2 kilograms of TNT, and the input from the hatch was enough to paralyze a T-34, while 100 pounds were roughly equivalent to 45 kilograms. If they were stacked together, the power was naturally quite amazing.

Before Lynn could speak, the soldier said in a question and answer manner: "Is it Heidslink's troops? That is the key passage to the division command!"

When he heard the "department headquarters", Lin Neng couldn't help but think of the paratrooper extermination division before, and the Jonas who were seriously injured and unconscious in the battle, and he didn't know what their condition is now. However, judging from the current situation in Berlin, field hospitals may have a serious lack of personnel, equipment and medicines.

After a while, the dark world trembled and shook again in the same violent explosion, and it was obvious that the more fragments fell from it had increased. Lynn did not want to disturb the rational judgment because of his simple nervousness, but in less than half a minute, the third explosion caused a more violent shaking. Although the soldiers did not shout in panic, anyone would feel fear and uneasy under such circumstances.

"Did you have explosives installed at all the forks leading to the city?" Lin Neng was very unwilling. If he returned to the ground, considering the light generated by the artillery fire, the risk they were taking was actually no smaller than in this sewer.

After hesitating for a moment, the soldier reluctantly admitted: "I think so! Sir! This must be the case!"

"Damn it" gradually became the most used catchphrase of Lynn. Faced with the extreme unfavorable situation, he bit his lip in a tangled manner: he didn't have time to find a way back in the sewer! Weighing the pros and cons, he made a very difficult choice: "Man, take us up from the nearest passage!"

Even though Lynn made up his mind, the soldier who belonged to the 18th Armored Infantry Division had no confidence in the maze-style sewer, and he reluctantly replied: "I'll give it a try!"

There was no choice but to greet Brewer and explore the way forward, reminding the remaining brothers to follow one by one, and help the injured army soldier with his night battle equipment. In the face of adversity, the group walked forward in the dark and passed two small forks, and there was a scene of collapse and blockage in front of them. They had to turn back to the previous fork, change the sewer branch line that could only accommodate one person, and walk forward dozens of meters. Just as they were about to reach the next fork, they heard a large number of footsteps mixed with speeches in front - of course not German.

The voice alone can tell that the other party is crowded with people, and Lin En and the others have no need to take risks and turn back decisively. When they passed the fork where the previous battle occurred, it took almost an hour to go around. After changing to the direction that seemed to be getting further and further away from the city center, although the sewer did not clog again, without stairs and ropes, they could only search for a shaft to clear the silt. When they found the first one, Brewer volunteered to climb up to explore the way, but finally came back with a sad expression: there was a battlefield where bullets flew across the battlefield!

Hearing the extremely dense sound of gunfire, Lynn also guessed this situation. Although he was eager to find a way out, he still tried his best to keep himself rational. He turned on the flashlight, used a military compass to distinguish the direction, and turned right west at the next fork. Next, as long as there was no way out, he firmly led the team forward, crossed the battle area full of corpses, and passed through the muddy and silted section of the road. His persistent investment finally got rewards. Another shaft, Brewer went up and did not come down again, but shouted loudly with uncontrollable excitement: "Guys, it's our people, it's safe!"

At first hearing this, Lin Neng was really relieved. Considering that there were two wounded men who were difficult to climb alone and a Soviet captive with deposed arms, he calmly made arrangements: let Brück and Tanze go up and look for the rope first, then pull up and push down, one by one, then tie the Soviet colonel up with a rope, and let the soldiers above work together to pull them out. Only when everyone returned to the ground properly and reasonably, he left the dark world where he almost died.

The entrance of the shaft is located in a small street and alley. The tall buildings on both sides have collapsed, but the ruins are still nearly two stories high. In addition to the 11th Night Battle Task Force and the two Army soldiers they met on the road, there are also several "big-eared steel helmets" wearing pea combat uniforms and the army logo. When Lynn poked his head out of the well, a young non-commissioned officer who looked very comfortable stretched out his right hand wearing black gloves in a calm expression. Under his strong pull, Sergeant Sin, who had been riding a roller coaster, returned to the ground smoothly.

Climbing this shaft didn't take much energy, but Lin En couldn't help but breathe heavily. Berlin naturally stayed up all night. The sky that lost its original color was still dull orange, so that its vision exceeded the constraints of the night. Standing on the ground, he could see figures a hundred meters away. But looking around, Lin En could not find traces of the famous buildings in his memory from the ruins. He was silent for a long time and sighed, "Thank God."

"This Soviet officer... is a colonel?" The young army officer asked in surprise. You must know that during the Battle of Berlin, the German army and the Soviet army were at an extremely disadvantage in the battle. In exceptional battles in urban areas, they could only fight to the death. As for the defensive counterattack, it was just a fantasy, just like the head of state who expected two crippled armies to launch a counterattack on the outside.

Hearing this question, Lin Neng finally woke up from this trance and quickly realized his current priority. He glanced at the collar exposed on the collar of the other party's combat uniform, which was an Army sergeant.

"Oh, yes, I was captured on the Soviet front. May I ask... Is this still the 8th defense zone?"

"The 8th Defence Zone?" The young army officer was still surprised, but the degree was much lighter than seeing the Soviet colonel. He shook his head and sighed: "The 8th Defence Zone almost no longer exists! Most of the remaining troops there have been withdrawn. This is the 6th Defence Zone!"

hiss……

Lin En couldn't help but gasp. After only a few hours, the 8th defense zone was occupied by the Soviet army? What about the previous defense zone headquarters and the 9th Paratrooper Destroyer Division and other troops that were holding there?

The sergeant did not have doubts because of Lynn's reaction. He turned around and pointed to the distance and said, "Our defense headquarters is on the right side of the street. It's only less than two kilometers to walk there. Do I need me to send someone to lead the way?"

"It's better!" Lynn replied, "The wounded need treatment, and we need ammunition and physical fitness!"

"This is easy!" The sergeant snapped his fingers and called to a soldier not far away: "Hank, take them to the defense headquarters, go and go quickly!"

When he returned to the ground, he felt the care of his friendly comrades. Lin En's depressed mood eased a little. He was about to thank him when he suddenly heard a short and sharp "swoosh" sound, and he suddenly felt that the hairs on his back were standing up one by one.

The end of the weird whistle sound was still a "bang" explosion, which sounded not far away. Most soldiers, including Lin Neng, were accustomed to Soviet artillery fire, so they subconsciously shrank their heads and upper bodies, turned their heads, and then were shocked: the shells landed on the top of the ruins actually lifted up countless pieces, they were like rock blocks that burst out in the moment of a volcano eruption, flying high, and scattered to all directions like flowers. Considering that these are steel sections, cement blocks and other residues on the collapsed building, they either have weight that cannot be underestimated, or have terrifying edges and corners, and were given great kinetic energy by the explosion shells. If a person was hit, even if his life was saved, he might be seriously injured!

Faced with this unexpected situation, all Lin Neng could do was yell "Run quickly", but this time the Army sergeant next to him took the lead. He shouted "Look down and ran quickly", and pushed Lin Neng with a strong push. Lin Neng staggered forward a few steps, fearing that the Soviet colonel, who had finally captured, had another problem at this time, and quickly looked back and looked around. Fortunately, the guy was still tied up by ropes, and Brück was pulling him to run desperately like a cow. This guy probably wanted to survive until the end of the war and revenge these German soldiers who bullied him and shot him in a fierce manner. Although he stumbled, his feet were still strong. As for the other soldiers, under the guidance of the survival instinct and the Army sergeant, they bowed and ran forward desperately.

Countless pieces flew over with a huge scattered surface, and no one could escape the movements. Lin En was hit by a stone on his shoulder. Fortunately, the steel helmet and the battery on his back blocked a lot of pieces for him, but he was worried that the night vision equipment would be damaged. He was so nervous that he almost fell down with his feet. Then he was hit hard again and finally couldn't hold it back and fell down. Fortunately, this shock that was better than super hail came and went quickly. Lin En hurriedly turned around and greeted: "Are you all okay?"

This time, the young army sergeant did not linger on his first language, but the guy was the first to get up and flash. At this time, Lynn finally heard someone nearby shouting "tank", and then looked in the direction of the sergeant's running. It turned out that next to the ruins that were hit, there was a tall anti-tank gun hidden in a gray camouflage net. If you guessed correctly, it should be an 88mm heavy anti-tank gun called "tank can opener"!
