The war is raging behind you, but there is silence in front of you. There is no sound of gunfire or explosions. Behind you and in front of you are two completely different scenes, like two worlds. One is a purgatory with bullets flying everywhere, and the other is like a ghost.
A quiet street, with heaven on one side and hell on the other.
Yu Yang should be lucky that there is no Soviet war team behind him. Otherwise, these people might regard Yu Yang as a deserter and might kill him with one shot. In this era, if someone escapes from the battlefield and is discovered, he will be punished on the spot!
There were also several Germans behind them who saw Yu Yang retreating from the corner of their eyes, but they did not choose to shoot and continued to fight with the enemy troops around them. They were just deserters. These
The Germans did not want to waste bullets, and they also knew that the Soviets would kill this Soviet man.
Yu Yang shuttled among the ruins and buildings, walked forward for less than fifty meters, and saw a relatively complete building in an excellent location, facing the firefighting area, with a good shooting angle.
Finding the ideal position, Yu Yang bent down, rushed into the first floor with his rifle in his arms, and carefully checked the rooms on the first floor. This was not a war zone yet, but Yu Yang did not relax his vigilance. He was among the ruins just now.
While walking, Yu Yang encountered three traps. If he hadn't been alert, he might have been killed.
This city is full of Germans, and there are various traps left by the Germans, and also laid by the Soviets. Although the Soviets have just passed by this road, Yu Yang does not believe in the search capabilities of these Soviets. Just now
He was in the room, and if he didn't show his head, the three Soviets who entered the door were shot to death by him, and they didn't even know how they died.
The first floor was safe, no Germans were found, there were no bodies on the ground, and no signs of crossfire were found. Yu Yang raised his gun, turned sideways, walked up to the second floor step by step, walked to the corner, and looked at himself
After making sure there were no traps, he slowly walked up the stairs leading to the second floor, pointing his gun at any place where Germans might appear.
We reached the second floor safely and did not find any German soldiers. The first and second floors are now safe. This building has three floors. Most buildings in the Soviet Union in this era have either two floors or three floors, and due to
The winter in Stalingrad is too cold, so most of the houses are built of bricks, which are very solid and thick.
Therefore, even after high-intensity and intensive bombing by the Germans, there are still some buildings that still look intact and have strong ability to withstand the cold. This is one of the reasons why these Germans are desperately trying to occupy Stalingrad. In addition to upper-level considerations,
For strategic purposes, what the soldiers at the bottom considered was to have a warm room to spend the cold winter.
The winter in the Soviet Union is really too cold. The Germans, who have almost no measures to protect themselves from the cold, have begun to suffer non-combat attrition. If they want to survive the Soviet winter safely, capturing Stalingrad is their only choice.
Only after entering the city could these German soldiers wearing single clothes survive, otherwise they would freeze to death.
The second floor is safe. All the rooms have been searched. There are no Germans or corpses. Just like the first floor, there are no traces of fighting. Yu Yang comes to the third floor cautiously. The layout of the third floor is the same as that of the one downstairs.
Same, three rooms, one hall. Except for a few bullet marks on the walls, there are no blood stains on the ground. It looks like this small building does not look like a building in war, but more like a building in peacetime.
.
"It's so weird!" Yu Yang checked two rooms, leaving only the last room unchecked. He carefully opened the door and walked in. The room was fully furnished, with beds and cabinets. It looked like an ordinary home. There were even quilts and other things in the bedroom and on the bed. After Yu Yang took a look, he closed the door again.
As soon as he closed the door, Yu Yang stood at the door and stopped. He always felt that something was wrong. This house was a little too clean, and there were traces of human life. The bedding in the house also showed signs of being tidied.
If in peacetime, this is normal, but this is Stalingrad, there are problems to survive, who will clean the house spotlessly?
Putting down the rifle, Yu Yang took out his pistol, pushed the door open again and walked in. When fighting in a narrow terrain like a room, a long gun has a great disadvantage and is not as flexible as a pistol.
There is a wardrobe in the house. Yu Yang just checked the room roughly without looking carefully at all. Yu Yang did not check at all the hiding places such as the wardrobe and under the bed. He just took a quick look. Now he needs to go carefully. Yu Yang always felt that this building was very strange. After inspecting the first and second floors, Yu Yang felt that this small building had a strange atmosphere.
The ground is terribly clean. Except for some dust that fell on the walls that may have been affected by the bombing just now, the entire ground looks clean, with obvious traces of cleaning. This is a battlefield. Who will be fine? Clean the room?
The soldiers are at war and their lives are precarious, while the civilians are hiding and starved of food. In order to survive, anyone here will drill dog holes, climb mud pits, and eat rat meat. They will not care about their appearance at all, unless... a person may appear. In Yu Yang's mind, Yu Yang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The first thing to check was the bottom of the bed. Yu Yang slowly squatted down and lowered his head to take a look. There was no one under the bed. It was empty and not even cleaned.
There was no one under the bed, so Yu Yang carefully placed his backpack and the weapons on his back on the ground. The only place where he could hide someone was the closet not far from him.
The wardrobe is very large, with three rows of doors, all with double doors. This wardrobe occupies half of the wall of the house. If you want to hide someone, this wardrobe can hide at least three or five people. Yu Yang secretly took out the dagger.
Holding a pistol in his right hand and a dagger in his left hand, Yu Yang pointed the muzzle of the gun carefully at the door of the closet. His left hand holding the dagger stretched out two fingers and hung them gently on the door handle of the closet. He took a deep breath and prepared. Open the closet door. If there is a German hiding behind the closet, Yu Yang can kill him with his pistol.
According to Yu Yang's judgment, if there were German soldiers hiding in such a cabinet, even if they were prepared, they would not be able to react as quickly as Yu Yang.
Most of the weapons owned by German soldiers were Mauser rifles. The barrels of these rifles were too long and were hidden in cabinets. It was impossible to hold the gun up and aim it. The only option was to point the muzzle downward.
So when Yu Yang opened the cabinet door, even if the German soldiers wanted to shoot, they still needed a certain amount of time to raise their guns, aim, and shoot. This time was enough for Yu Yang to kill them several times. The only thing he needed to worry about was the Germans in the cabinet. The hand may not be a spear, but a bayonet or a pistol.
The purpose of the dagger in Yu Yang's hand was to prevent Germans hiding inside with bayonets, so that he could react immediately and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Of course, Yu Yang's plan was very good, but it was actually full of loopholes. Yu Yang had very little experience in street fighting and had no professional training, so he could only follow the best plan he could think of.
In fact, the safest way Yu Yang thought of was to shoot the closet with a gun. In this case, even if someone was hiding in it, they would be beaten into pieces. However, Yu Yang was worried that his gunfire would attract nearby Germans.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Yang forcefully opened the closet. It was empty, with nothing inside.
When I opened the second cabinet door, it was still the same. There was nothing in the empty closet except air.
The third cabinet door was also the last one. Yu Yang slowly leaned towards it, swallowed his saliva, calmed down his mood, and slowly put his hand on the door handle, preparing to open the door.
