The person who fired this stunning shot was naturally Vasily who was hiding in the ruins more than 300 meters away. When Lengerk came out of the building, he was discovered by Vasili, but he pointed the gun at Lengerk
At this time, Zina, who was lying aside, said disdainfully: "Hey, recruits, the distance from us to the target is already more than three hundred meters. If you miss, our hiding position will be exposed."
"
In response to Zina's question, Vasily did not refute, but just grinned, and still locked the sight of Lengek who was walking towards the black car through the scope. As soon as the other person walked to the car, he decisively pulled the trigger.
After Zina heard the gunshot, she was furious at first. She felt that this new recruit was really annoying. At such a long distance, even with the help of a scope, the chance of hitting the target was very low. She cursed softly.
Said: "Damn it, who asked you to shoot? You exposed our hiding place..." But when she saw the small figure in the distance, turning around in a circle, she fell down.
On the ground, I couldn't help but open my mouth in surprise, "Oh my god, you actually hit the target from such a long distance."
Vasily did not speak, but decisively pulled the trigger again. This time the target he shot was the staff officer who was standing beside the car dumbfounded. After seeing the staff officer fall down, he turned to Zina and said: "
Let's go to other places." After saying that, without waiting for Zina to speak, she crawled towards another sniper position on her hands and knees.
"This is simply unbelievable." Zina thought in shock. If she were to snipe a target at such a distance, it would be a very good result if she could hit one target with three shots, and the opponent's bullets were accurate.
He shot and knocked down two German officers with two shots. Before he fired, he thought he was a burden, but now it seems that others are hiding it.
After Vasily arrived at the new sniping point, he immediately placed his gun on the rubble and looked for targets to attack again. He saw a group of German soldiers rushing out of the building and rushing towards the killed Lengek and him.
As a staff officer, Vasily locked the sight on an officer wearing a big-brimmed hat and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Seeing the officer fall to the ground, Zina couldn't help but asked curiously: "Comrade Vasily, why can you hit so fast and so accurately?"
When Vasily heard Zina's question, he did not answer her immediately. Instead, he asked: "Zina, where do you aim at every time you attack the enemy?"
"Needless to say, of course it's the head." Zina replied without hesitation: "As long as it can hit the target, the enemy will never survive."
"Zina, if you want to aim at the enemy's head from such a distance, it will not only waste time, but also the hit rate is not high." Vasily waited for Zina to finish speaking, then explained to her: "Aim and shoot at the head.
In the time it takes me to aim at the enemy's torso and shoot, I can hit at least three targets."
The third target killed by Vasily was the German battalion commander Major Haydn. When he learned that Lungek and his staff were killed by snipers outside the building, he immediately rushed out with a group of people. But he was dreaming
Neither of them thought that they would become another result of Vasily's victory.
With the deaths of Lungek and Haydn, the German officers and soldiers who were attacking the railway employee dormitory area lost their unified command and fell into panic. Some soldiers continued to rush forward behind the tanks, while some soldiers turned around and went to
Run back. Unfortunately, there was only one platoon of regular Soviet troops and more than 200 militia troops standing in this residential area. After seeing that the enemy's offensive intensity weakened, they just breathed a sigh of relief without thinking about the enemy at all.
Why did they behave so poorly, let alone consider whether they should take the opportunity to organize troops to counterattack? It was precisely because the Soviet army had no ability to counterattack that the German army, which had lost its command, was able to retreat unscathed.
Seeing that the enemy was starting to run away, Vasily and Zina did not care about concealment. They quickly chose a suitable sniper position and fired continuously at the fleeing German troops. Although there were more than a dozen officers wearing big-brimmed hats, or
The machine gunners fell to their guns, but most of the enemies successfully escaped from the dormitory area and took away the bodies of Lungek and Haydn.
After completing the sniper mission in the residential area, Zina no longer had the arrogance she had just now. On the contrary, she cautiously asked Vasily: "Vasily, where should we go next?"
"Let's go to the station and have a look." Vasily saw the roar of artillery and the billowing smoke of gunpowder in the direction of Mamayev Hill. He guessed that the place was being attacked by the Germans, so he gave up the idea of returning to Mamayev Hill and chose to go
Station. "Maybe we can kill a few enemies there."
Unexpectedly, when the two arrived at the station, they were surprised to find that there was no fighting at all, and not even the shadow of the enemy could be seen. The reason why there was no fighting at the station was entirely because Lungek was preparing to take over the employee dormitory area.
, and then turned around to attack the station. Now that he had been killed by Vasily, naturally no one was responsible for commanding the battle to attack the station.
Although no enemies were found at the station, Vasily and Zina still found a suitable location to hide, preparing to snipe the German commander when the enemy attacked.
…………
The enemies who attacked Mamayev Ridge withdrew from the battle in despair after suffering heavy losses. They lost more than 300 corpses and 15 tanks in front of their position in Nangang, half of which were still intact.
.
When the German tanks charged towards the Nangang position, seven or eight tanks crushed the wooden boards covering the pit, and the entire vehicle immediately overturned in front of the position. Fortunately, the tank soldiers inside climbed out in time, turned around and fled back.
After repelling the German attack, the first battalion commander Vanya specifically asked Sokov for instructions: "Comrade Brigade Commander, there are seven or eight overturned tanks in front of our position. I have personally seen them, and almost all of them are overturned.
It's intact. What do we do with these tanks?"
According to Vanya's idea, since these tanks are intact, they can be placed in front of the position as fixed forts, and when the enemy attacks, they can cause huge damage to them. Who knows that Sokov is motivated by
He said unexpectedly: "Blow them up. Captain Vanya, I order you to blow up all these tanks."
Hearing that these tanks that were still usable were going to be blown up, Vanya felt quite reluctant to do so. He thought that Sokov didn't know the condition of the tanks, so he quickly introduced him to him: "Comrade Brigade Commander, these tanks are almost still intact.
Wouldn’t it be a pity if it blew up?”
"Captain Vanya," as soon as Vanya finished speaking, Sokov's voice came from the receiver: "These tanks overturned because they fell into our trap. If you have the ability, why don't you lift them?"
Mechanically, turn them all over?”
When Vanya heard this, she realized that this was really the case. A German tank weighed more than ten or twenty tons. Without the help of a crane, they really couldn't turn the tank over. Therefore.
He replied decisively: "Understood, Comrade Brigade Commander, I will blow up all these tanks immediately."
Just when Vanya organized soldiers to blow up those tanks, Sokov called Seryosha to the headquarters and asked directly: "Seryosa, I heard that you sent Vasily out on a mission?
"
"Yes, Comrade Brigadier." Seryosha replied respectfully: "You said he was an excellent sniper, so I asked him to try it on the battlefield."
"Nonsense, absolutely nonsense." When he thought that Vasily was sent by Seryosha to perform combat missions less than 24 hours after he arrived in his army, Sokov stomped his feet angrily: "Don't you know that Vasily just arrived?
Stalingrad, if you send someone who is unfamiliar with the place to perform a mission, don't you want him to die?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Brigadier." Seryosha was surprised by Sokov's reaction. Relying on the fact that he was Sokov's neighbor and old friend, Seryosha said in a casual tone: "Our troops
Didn't they immediately jump into battle as soon as they crossed the river? They are also not familiar with the terrain in the city. Everyone else can do it, so why can't he."
Seryosha's words left Sokov speechless for a moment. He could not tell him that Vasily was the sniper god of the Soviet army, and he could not be allowed to take risks before he became familiar with the city. He was silent for a long time.
Then he hesitated and said: "Although Vasily is still a new warrior, I think he is a very special person, and he will definitely have an expression that will surprise all of us in the future."
Seryosha guessed from the tone of Sokov's words that Sokov thought highly of Vasily, and quickly added: "Comrade Brigadier, don't worry, he didn't go out alone. I asked Zina to accompany me.
We went together with him, Zina has always been very prudent in everything she does, so I think there won't be any problems."
After learning that Zina was accompanying Vasily on the mission, Sokov felt a little more at ease. His view was the same as Seryosha's. Zina was a prudent person. With her accompanying him, nothing would happen to Vasily.
question.
While Sokov was talking to Seryosha, a communications staff officer came over with a telegram and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigadier, the German telegram we just intercepted. Lengek, commander of the 21st Grenadier Regiment
The colonel and Major Hayton, commander of the regiment’s first battalion, were killed by snipers during the attack on the station’s staff dormitory area.”
"What, the sniper killed a colonel and a major of the German army." After learning that the sniper had achieved such results, Sokov couldn't help but be happy. But not long after he was happy, he turned serious again and asked
: "Can you figure out which unit's sniper did it?"
The communications staff officer shook his head and replied: "Although the German telegram did not give details, since they were shot dead in the railway employee dormitory area, it should be the actions of the troops who stood there."
Sidorin, who had been standing aside silently, heard what the communications staff said and couldn't help but regretfully said: "That's the area under the responsibility of the 39th Guards Regiment. It must have been done by a Guards sniper."
"That's not right, Comrade Chief of Staff." Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Seryosha retorted: "I just sent Zina and Vasily there to perform the mission. Maybe they did it."
When Sokov heard this, he asked with surprise: "Seryozha, what did you just say? Did you send Zina and Vasily to the dormitory area to perform a mission?"
"Yes." Seryosha nodded and said: "Every few days, I send snipers nearby to perform sniper killing missions. Considering that the Germans have recently concentrated their forces on attacking the station, I sent Zina
Went with the Vasilians."
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov immediately said to Sidorin after receiving confirmation from Seryosha: "It seems that these two German officers were killed by Zina and Vasily."
"Not necessarily." Sidorin said dubiously: "Vasili is a new recruit. It would be nice not to be so scared that he wets his pants on the battlefield, let alone sniping important targets. But although Zina said that if the sniper team ran out of time,
It's short, but the results she has achieved are very limited. If I remember correctly, she has killed no more than ten enemies so far."
Just as Sokov was thinking about how to verify the results, a soldier suddenly came in and reported to Sokov: "Comrade Brigadier, Zina and another new soldier who went on a sniper mission are back."
Hearing that Zina and Vasily were back, Sokov immediately ordered the soldiers: "Call them in."
When Zina and Vasily were standing in the room, Sidorin asked first: "Zina, how many enemies did you kill when you went out today?"
"Report to Comrade Chief of Staff." Zina turned her body slightly and faced Sidorin and said: "We killed a total of 19 enemies today, including 11 officers, 6 machine gunners, and 2 tank crews."
"There are 11 officers, and the results are good." After listening to Zina's report, Sidorin's face showed a joyful expression: "I wonder what level of officers they are?"
"There is a colonel and a major among them, and the rest are all lieutenants, second lieutenants and the like." Zina replied expressionlessly: "As for the rank of the tank soldier, I didn't see clearly."
It was learned that Zina and the others had killed a colonel and a major, which happened to be connected with the killing of Lungek and Haydn. Sidorin looked at Zina and continued to ask: "Zina, if I didn't guess
If I'm wrong, you should have killed these two officers, right?"
"No, it's not me, Comrade Chief of Staff." Zina shook her head and replied: "It's Vasily. He fired three shots more than 300 meters away, killing three German officers, including
Including one colonel and one major."
"Well done, Vasily." Sokov walked up to Vasily, put his hands on his shoulders, patted him gently a few times, and then said: "I didn't expect that you would go on a mission the first time.
We have achieved such great results. It seems that I made the most correct decision by recruiting you from the 42nd Guards Regiment."
