USSR 1941

"Bang bang", with the sound of gunshots, a German soldier fell under Shulka's gun.

For hand-to-hand combat, a pistol is a great piece of equipment.

Because you don’t need to worry that it will penetrate the enemy’s body and accidentally injure your own people. What Shulka has to do is to distinguish which of the people who are lying on the ground and wrestling with each other is the enemy and which is their own, and then pull the trigger on the enemy.

Occasionally, it is found that the scuffles are two of us.

This may be because the helmets of the German army and the helmets of the Soviet army are somewhat similar, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them in the night, so they are involuntarily fused together.

It is more embarrassing for soldiers with rifles to face this situation.

First of all, they dare not shoot, because the penetration of rifle bullets is enough to penetrate the human body and kill another person, which means that if they shoot, it is easy to cause accidental injury.

The second is that it is difficult for them to distinguish between enemy and friend.

The inability to shoot meant that they could only use bayonets, and the bayonets were more than a meter from the top of the rifles to their heads. (Note that the Mosin Nagant rifle with a bayonet is 1.73 meters long)

This also means that soldiers must distinguish between the enemy and the enemy at a distance of nearly two meters, which is very difficult at night, unless there are flares hanging in the sky.

However, this did not affect the victory of the Soviet army. The main force of the Soviet army simply passed the soldiers fighting on the ground and continued to rush forward...

This approach is correct.

It doesn't mean that they don't care about the life and death of their comrades, but that there is something more important on the battlefield.

At this time, if the forward troops stop to clear the enemy, it will undoubtedly give the deep enemy some reaction time.

Although this reaction time is very short, one minute, two minutes, or even shorter.

But for the well-trained German army, it was enough for them to turn their guns and organize a new line of defense.

On the contrary, if the Soviet army rushed forward without stopping, the deep German army would never have expected that the enemy would come so quickly, so they would not even have time to turn their guns, let alone resist.

The battle situation was exactly as Shulka thought. Although there were more enemies in depth, they almost all focused their attention on the Soviet army charging to the east.

So the battle is easier,

The submachine guns swept a shuttle of bullets at the enemy, and bayonets pierced their backs.

Shulka continued to charge forward with the troops.

At this moment, his feet suddenly softened, and he stepped on a corpse.

There is nothing strange about stepping on a corpse on the battlefield, because the battlefield is full of corpses.

But Shulka immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Because if it was a corpse, it would not respond to being stepped on under normal circumstances.

But Shulka felt a slight twitch in his muscles.

Only living people have this kind of reaction, and this reaction is so slight that it is almost undetectable. If it was someone else, I'm afraid they would have ignored it and moved on.

However, Shulka knew that only a master would have such a reaction.

Because he has been able to control the conditioned reflex of his muscles to a considerable extent, even under pain, he will not respond too much.

Shulka didn't think much, and immediately pointed the pistol at the "corpse" under his feet.

The "corpse" noticed this right away, and stretched out its hand to grab Shulka's ankle, dragging Shulka, and then fell to the ground. At the same time, with a "bang", the pistol bullets flew into the darkness of the air.

Shulka was secretly startled by the speed of the "corpse"'s reaction.

Just now Shulka just made a slight movement, that is, pointing the muzzle of the gun downward, and he was noticed, and in this very short time, he made the only correct reaction... dragging his ankle.

It can be said that no other action can save the "corpse" in this situation, because Shulka's pistol has been aimed at him, and all he has to do is pull the trigger, and then a bullet will be shot into his body He turns into a real corpse.

However, Shulka lost his balance with a twitch of his ankle.

At the moment of losing balance, people will raise their hands up unconsciously... so the bullet that was supposed to kill hits the sky.

It wouldn't matter if all of this was just a coincidence or unintentional, but if it was intentional, the Corpse reacted too quickly.

Without hesitation, Shulka used his left hand to pull out the army thorn around his waist, and then used the army thorn to hold the opponent's neck at the moment the "corpse" flew up.

The reason why he drew the military stab instead of continuing to use the pistol was because Shulka knew that if the "corpse" could perform the self-rescue action as before in such a short period of time, then Shulka would have no chance to use the pistol again. He will control his right hand for the first time.

Sure enough, the right hand was blocked by a force, and the army stab with the left hand encountered another resistance when it was about to penetrate the opponent's neck.

"Wait, Comrade!" Just as Shulka was about to force the general stab into the opponent's neck, "Corpse" shouted, "My fellow, I belong to the 1047 regiment!"

The 1047th Infantry Regiment is another infantry regiment of the Soviet Army on Mamayev Hill besides the 39th Guards Infantry Regiment. If he can quickly call out the number, he should be right.

So Shulka's men couldn't help but relax.

Seeing that Shulka was still hesitating, the "corpse" lifted the cloak, revealing the Soviet-style military uniform inside.

"I'm a sniper, comrade! Corpse," explained.

Then Shulka relaxed.

"Keep fighting, comrade!" Shulka said.

"We don't seem to need to fight anymore! Corpse" replied.

Shulka saw that, as he said, the 82nd Infantry Regiment of the Soviet Army had joined forces with the 39th Guards Infantry Regiment, and the soldiers of the two units hugged each other and cheered for victory.

"Why are you here?" Shulka asked. "I mean, you're a sniper..."

Shulka raised his head towards the rifle with a sniper scope in his hand, and continued, "Shouldn't you stay away from the front line?"

"Corpse" shook his head, then laughed, "Comrade Captain, sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest place! What's more, this is Mamayev Hill!"

Shulka understood at once what this meant.

Mamayev Gang is a highland, one side of the highland is a positive slope, and the other side is a reverse slope.

There is not much distance between the two slopes for the sniper to lurk, so he simply lurks under the nose of the enemy, disguised as a "corpse".

Shulka nodded, glanced at his military rank, and praised, "You are excellent, Comrade Second Lieutenant!"

"You too, Comrade Captain! Corpse" replied with a smile "If we are enemies, maybe I'm already dead!"

Then, the "corpse" reached out to Shulka, "Vassily, my name is Vasily Zaitsev!".
