Perhaps because of the lack of help from the two teams, Bolan and Pineapple Dihai, the battle that day had been carefully prepared for a long time, but in the end it ended in failure.
So much so that the warehouse manager lay down near Mamayev Hill for most of the day without noticing any danger of losing his position.
In the end, I didn’t even think of taking out the flare and firing it.
Therefore, amid Hu Biao's expectation and waiting, after 12 o'clock that night, they finally heard such a wonderful system voice in their heads:
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao and all members of the Zhongzhou Team, the second phase of the mission has been officially completed.
Relevant evaluations and rewards will be distributed uniformly at the end of this task.
At the same time, the third phase of the mission was officially released, and the mission was to hold on to the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory until 11:59 on November 15.
Warm reminder, this third phase of the mission is the last phase of this mission. I wish you all the best..."
"Hey, this scammer in the system has learned to be polite this time."
While his heart was filled with joy, Hu Biao complained like this.
Afterwards, he had a few casual chats with Mahn Bhutto and discovered that the third phase missions of both teams were almost identical.
As for why? The system would issue such a slightly strange reason. It was just to let Hu Biao and the others hold on until November 15th instead of fighting the entire war. Hu Biao didn't find it very strange.
The reason is very simple. According to some information that Hu Biao and the others urgently found on the Internet before traveling through time.
On November 19, Maozi launched a counterattack called "Uranus". Under this counterattack, it not only broke the German siege of Volgograd.
Instead, the German 6th Army was basically surrounded.
Since then, although the German sticks have made considerable efforts, they have tried to regain the advantage on the battlefield.
It is a pity that since Maozi's counterattack began on November 19, the failure of the German side was destined to be irreversible.
Therefore, there is no objection to whether people like Hu Biao and Mahn Bhutto should continue to stay in Volgograd in 1942.
On the contrary, in the time before the 19th, that is, the beginning of November 11th.
The German army mobilized 5 infantry divisions, 2 armored divisions and 2 engineering battalions. These elite troops stepped up their offensive against the factory area in the city.
During this attack, important areas such as the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory were lost one by one. In the end, the German army even occupied 90% of Volgograd.
Therefore, the only thing Hu Biao and the others have to do now is to survive at the tractor factory.
If we wait until the end of the day on the 15th, everything will be fine.
So, after thinking of this, Hu Biao quickly summoned his team members, members of the minibus team, and officers of all levels from the 189th Guards Regiment overnight.
A group of people discussed together for a long time, with only one purpose:
Early tomorrow morning we must strengthen the fortifications as much as possible and strengthen the fighting will of all the soldiers of the 189th Guards Regiment. No matter how difficult it is, they must survive the next half month.
As for the two teams, Bolan and Pineapple Dihai, Hu Biao and the others didn't take them seriously at all.
Because according to the system's unchangeable punishment rules, there are only a few people left in these two teams.
Even if the commander is lucky enough not to be randomly selected, after being wiped out, there should not be many people left, and he won't be able to make any waves.
Hu Biao’s guess above can only be said to be partially correct.
A few minutes ago, in a field hospital in Germany where the situation was extremely bad, Commander Serchisky was the only one left among the above two teams.
If you look closer, you can see that even if the commander survived the explosion during the day, he would have been miserable.
Not to mention other places, even a palm on the left was blown away, but there was an important thing on it.
But compared to what was about to happen, that important thing was just that; with a horrified expression on his face, he heard the system say this:
"Bolan Team failed to complete the second phase of the mission. According to the mission regulations, the punishment of erasure will be implemented immediately. In view of the fact that the current number of Bolan Team is less than 5 people, and the basic principle of system erasure must not be reduced.
Now the system has decided to kill the remaining personnel five times in a row. Commander Serchisky, are you ready?"
"No~"
After hearing this, Serchisky started shouting like a pig being slaughtered.
Then, a German soldier with a broken leg next to him saw his next-door neighbor in horror, and his head suddenly exploded five times in a row like "bang, bam, bam~".
As a result, even the blood and white brains splashed onto the ceiling several meters high.
In the end, even the parts above the neck completely disappeared, and the death was so miserable.
After two seconds of confusion, the soldier with a broken leg yelled in horror: "No, there are some stupid snipers nearby~"
Later, when such a German soldier was stirred by the clothes moth, his body rolled over and hid under the bed.
I was still extremely puzzled and thought: "Good guy! How much hatred does the sniper outside have against this brother? It's enough to kill him with one shot, so why do he need to shoot 4 more times?"
With such a fast rate of fire, this sniper is using an SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle?"
In short, Serchisky, a Bolan man, died in such unusual circumstances.
Except for the fact that after the second day, one of the many field hospitals in Germany gave the wounded people something to talk about under difficult circumstances, it did not cause any waves...
******
The third phase of the mission was officially released, and for a period of time afterwards.
The members of the Zhongzhou Team, while facing attacks from small groups of opponents every day, were preparing as much as possible for the big attack from the German side in ten days.
During this period, some bits and pieces of things happened that are worth mentioning.
On November 3, on an abandoned water tower next to Workshop No. 7, a warehouse manager wearing a white cloak had been lurking here for almost an hour.
During the whole process, the warehouse manager remained motionless in the cold environment, showing his excellent qualities as an elite sniper.
While waiting patiently, the warehouse manager, like a seasoned hunter, finally found his prey.
On the opposite side, about 500 meters away, at a certain position in a snowdrift, some movements that were almost imperceptible to normal people appeared.
But after the warehouse manager saw it, he was able to confirm that the German sniper who injured one of their recruits in the previous time was hiding in it.
Without hesitation, the warehouse manager pulled the trigger with barely conscious fingers covered in frostbite.
Then, with the sound of 98K gunshots, a prone figure on the opposite side revealed more of his body amid the earthquake.
This proves that only one powerful sniper is a better way to deal with another sniper.
"If you dare to ambush in front of me, isn't this the birthday man who hangs himself to die?" After successfully killing such an opponent, the warehouse manager spit out a mouthful of cold saliva and cursed in his mouth.
I have to say that after killing Major Connegg, the warehouse manager became a little confused.
But no matter what, after the warehouse manager has gone through many battles and deaths, no matter how he floats, his basic fighting qualities are still there.
Therefore, after hearing a slight sound of footsteps coming from behind him.
The warehouse manager immediately pulled out an M1911 pistol for self-defense and prepared for close combat.
As a result, soon after, a familiar voice like Xi Ling came: "I am the warehouse manager. I didn't shoot. It's almost time for you to go out. Lao Hu asked me to come and take your place for a while. Remember to go early and go early."
Come back."
After hearing such a statement, the warehouse manager remembered that there was another important thing today, and he must not be late.
Suddenly, under a huge shock, the warehouse manager climbed a cold iron ladder down to the water tower and ran all the way to Workshop No. 7.
As for the question of whether Xi Ling, a young man from the Northeast, is qualified as a sniper?
There is no need to worry about this, Brother Xiling is almost an all-round warrior.
Thirty minutes later, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the warehouse manager and Bai Xiang, panting from running, appeared at the dock in Volgograd.
And after more than a month, the situation at the dock still seems to have changed little.
Because at this time, the Volga River has not yet been frozen; according to the local indigenous people, the river will not be completely frozen until the coldest period at the end of November.
Therefore, there are still many shipwrecks floating in the river with floating ice.
And the bodies were soaked in the river water until they were swollen and hard.
There are also a large number of civilians on both sides of the river who hope to try their luck and find a chance to cross the river, pointing at the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns high in the sky.
Of course, after such a long time, there are still some differences here at the dock.
There were some small steamers on the dock that were powered by steam and diesel, had iron hulls, and had anti-aircraft machine guns on them.
It can be said that the Maozi side has improved somewhat in terms of transportation capacity.
The reason why Cangguan and Bai Xiang appeared here was because tonight was the day when Zoya's orphans, plus the pair of siblings whom Cangguan had been silently caring for, were crossing the river.
After the day when the medal was awarded, Major General Mao Zi asked Hu Biao very cordially when he left, what else can he do for the 189th Guards Regiment?
I was thinking about more recruits and food supplies, but even if I proposed it, they wouldn't agree to it.
Hu Biao immediately made a request to send 15 children across the river first; the reason was because the warehouse manager and Bai Xiang had adopted them, and these two people were his important subordinates.
Faced with such a request, the General immediately agreed.
However, because in successive fierce battles, Maozi's side needed to be transported out of the city in time, the number of seriously injured people transported to the rear hospital was a bit scary.
So even if she got some priority, Zoya's queue for her children has been waiting until today.
Therefore, at such a critical moment today, the warehouse manager and Bai Xiang, the nominal adoptive father and mother, of course need to appear.
So, after some searching, the two found the children at the corner of the pier.
After seeing the warehouse manager and Bai Xiang, these children, who were as panicked as abandoned kittens in the noisy environment, immediately showed their moving expressions.
Many of the children even cried out after throwing themselves into their arms.
Suddenly, the two of them panicked and quickly took out some stewed potatoes, black bread, horse meat intestines, etc. from the backpacks they were carrying behind them.
While stuffing it into the hands of these people, he hurriedly said in his mouth:
"You're all hungry, hurry up and eat something~"
Don't look at these stewed potatoes and black bread, they are already frozen hard, and it will make your front teeth hurt if you bite them in one mouth. The quantity of horse sausage is very limited, not even 300 grams in total.
But these things, these two spent a long time with Hu Biao this morning to get a piece of food.
The price is that their food supplies for the two of them will be halved in the next week, which is considered as an advance payment of some personal supplies.
While eating these foods that are considered extremely bad to modern people, all the children were immediately filled with smiles.
Finally, at about 8 o'clock in the evening, these children boarded a relatively safer iron-hulled motor boat. This was a preferential treatment obtained by the warehouse management at the cost of half a bottle of alcohol mixed with water.
The sound of the motor sounded, the iron-hulled ship slowly left the dock, and the warehouse manager and the white elephant waved their arms goodbye.
Suddenly, the brother and sister cried out to the warehouse manager: "Goodbye, warehouse manager, dad, you must come to us after the war~"
Good guy! After such a shout came out, it was like opening a floodgate.
Under the leadership of Zoya, the eldest child, the 13 children in the orphanage also cried: "Goodbye, mother Bai Xiang, we will miss you and will always miss you~"
When the above sounds reached my ears, the warehouse manager, a big man, and Bai Xiang, a tough woman, were both characters who would not cry even when they were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Immediately, my glasses turned red and I couldn't control my posture.
It also felt that in the remaining week, half of the originally insufficient food supply was missing, which did not seem to be an unacceptable thing.
That night, I waited until I returned to Workshop No. 7.
Bai Xiang, who was sitting by the fire, touched his pocket and found a parting gift from Zoya in it.
It is said that it was something that was discovered while scavenging for food and fuel; it was just that the white elephant was too excited at that time and was not in the mood to take a look at it.
After seeing the result, Bai Xiang was dumbfounded: Damn it! Isn't this a space ring? It seems to have a larger capacity than Hu Biao's one.
Seeing this, Bai Xiang quickly shouted loudly: "Old Hu~".
Two minutes later, when he was playing with such a system in his hand, it showed that only by paying a thousand system points would the space ring with the exclusive seal of the Bolan Team be released.
I thought happily: "No wonder the teacher said when I was a child, we must persist in doing good people and good deeds. I never thought the rewards would be so great..."
******
On November 7, early in the morning, by the fire in workshop No. 7.
After all, Hu Biao, who had just had breakfast, silently loosened his trousers bag made of cotton cloth, tightened it hard, and tied it again.
There's no way! It's the darkest time before dawn.
Because the shortage of supplies in the city has worsened, the original food supply of 600 grams per day has now dropped to 450 grams.
Damn it! Such a small food supply is not even enough to feed the cats.
What's more, there are big living people like Hu Biao, these bloodline men are big consumers of food.
So after finishing the meal, Hu Biao felt as if he hadn't eaten, so he had no choice but to tighten his belt, because this way his stomach would feel more comfortable.
As for why you don’t continue to cook about belts and boots?
That was the amount I had hoarded before, and now I have eaten it all. Didn’t you notice that Hu Biao’s waistband has even been replaced by a trousers belt?
Just like that, Hu Biao fastened his belt, and a burst of gunshots came from outside.
The sound of gunshots was an order to Hu Biao and others.
For this reason, after Hu Biao got up from the ground, he dragged the leg that was still lame even after removing the calf fixator and started to move.
Behind him, compared to the white elephant who had lost at least 50 pounds when he first came to the mission, he also followed...
On November 11th, in such a modern plane and an artificial festival, singles like Hu Biao could not feel any joy.
Instead, even my scalp started to feel numb.
Without him, starting from the morning, the German side launched an attack on the tractor factory.
And based on the previous time, no matter how they attacked, they deliberately dispatched a complete armored regiment here, plus an engineer battalion.
Led by multiple tanks and armored vehicles, they launched a fierce attack on the tractor factory.
Faced with such a scene, what else could Hu Biao and the others do? While carrying on, they asked Comrade Deputy Factory Director for reinforcements and all available tanks.
November 15th, 11:20pm.
Hu Biao solemnly said to Chekov's official: "Comrade Chekov, now our great 189th Guards Regiment only has 103 people left, and there are more than 90 people in it who are lightly or seriously injured.
If there is no accident, we will definitely not be able to hold our position tomorrow.
So tonight, we must go and blow up those German tanks; you can stay behind with your men, and I will go out with the combatants."
After hearing this, Chekov nodded solemnly.
Then under the cover of night, he, Natasha and other Mao girls, as well as some wounded soldiers from the Guards Regiment.
I watched with my own eyes as Hu Biao, Bai Xiang, Warehouse Guan, An Tusheng, Bianrou, Original Sin, as well as Mahn Bhutto and two of his men, a total of 9 people disappeared into the heavy snow and night.
This was also the last time these people saw these Burians.
Ever since they heard a huge explosion around 12 o'clock in the evening, they had been looking outside the workshop stupidly.
But it wasn't until daybreak that reinforcements arrived.
Comrade Lieutenant Colonel Hu Biao and his Burian comrades, those familiar figures never appeared again...
