  The person who shot this amazing shot was naturally Vasily who was hiding in the ruins more than 300 meters away. Vasily spotted Lengek as soon as he came out of the building, but when he pointed his gun at Lengek, Zina who was lying on the side said disdainfully: "Hey, I said recruits, from our place It’s already more than 300 meters to the target, if you miss, it will expose our hiding place.”

   Regarding Zina's question, Vasily did not refute, but just grinned, and still locked on Lengek who was walking towards the black car through the scope, and pulled the trigger decisively when the other party came to the car.

  After hearing the gunshot, Zina was inexplicably angry at first, thinking 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 in a low voice: "Damn, who told you to shoot, you exposed our hiding place..." But when she saw the small figure in the distance, after turning around in place, she immediately He fell directly to the ground and opened his mouth in surprise, "My God, you hit the target at such a long distance."

  Vassily did not speak, but decisively pulled the trigger again. This time, the target of his shooting was the staff officer who was standing beside the car dumbfounded. Seeing that the staff officer fell down in response, he turned to Zina and said, "Let's go to another place." After speaking, before Zina could speak, he crawled to another sniper position with hands and feet.

"This is simply unbelievable." Zina thought in shock. If she had killed such a distant target, it would be considered a very good achievement if she could hit one target with three shots, and the opponent's bullets were not in vain He fired two shots and knocked down two German officers. Before he shot, he thought he was a burden, but now it seems that others are hiding it.

  After Vasily came to the new sniper point, he immediately put the gun on the rubble pile and looked for targets to attack again. I saw a group of German soldiers rushing out of the building and rushed towards the killed Rengek and his staff officer. Vasily locked on an officer wearing a big-brimmed hat through the scope, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. .

  Seeing the officer fall to the ground, Zina couldn't help asking curiously: "Comrade Vasily, why are you able to shoot so fast and so accurately?"

  When Vasily heard Zina's question, he didn't answer her immediately, but asked instead: "Zina, every time you attack the enemy, where are you aiming at?"

   "It goes without saying, of course it is the head." Zina replied without hesitation: "As long as the target can be hit, the enemy will never survive."

"Zina, at such a distance, if you want to aim at the enemy's head, not only is it a waste of time, but the hit rate is not high." Vasily waited for Zina to finish speaking, and explained to her: "Aim for the head and shoot. The time it takes, I use to aim at the enemy's torso and shoot at least three targets."

  The third target killed by Vasily was the German battalion commander, Major Haydn. He learned that Lengok and his staff were killed by snipers outside the building, and immediately rushed out with a group of people. But he never dreamed that he would become another result of Vasily's victory.

With the deaths of Rengerk and Haydn, the German officers and soldiers who were attacking the railway staff quarters lost their unified command and fell into a panic. Some followed the tank and continued to rush forward, while some soldiers turned around and went run back. It's a pity that only a platoon of regular soldiers from the Soviet Army and more than 200 militia troops are standing in this residential area. After seeing that the enemy's offensive strength has weakened, they just heaved a sigh of relief. They didn't think about why the enemy behaved. If they were so out of standard, they would not even consider whether they should take the opportunity to organize troops to counterattack. It was precisely because the Soviet army did not have the ability to counterattack that the German army, which had lost its command, was able to retreat completely.

  Seeing that the enemy started to run away, Vasily and Zina didn't care about hiding. They quickly chose a suitable sniper position and fired continuously at the fleeing German army. Although more than a dozen officers wearing big-brimmed hats or machine gunners fell to their guns, most of the enemies escaped from the dormitory area smoothly and took away the soldiers of Rengerk and Haydn. dead body.

  After completing the sniper mission in the residential area, Zina no longer had the arrogance just now. Instead, she asked Vasily cautiously: "Vassily, where are we going next?"

"Let's go to the station and have a look." Seeing the rumble of gunfire and billowing gunpowder smoke in the direction of Mamayev Hill, Vasily guessed that it was being attacked by the German army, so he gave up the idea of ​​returning to Mamayev Hill and chose to go to the station. station. "Maybe we are there, and we can kill a few enemies."

  Unexpectedly, when the two arrived at the station, they unexpectedly discovered that there was no fighting at all, and even the shadow of the enemy could not be seen. The reason why there was no battle at the station was entirely because Lengok was going to turn around and attack the station after taking down the staff dormitory area. Now that he has been killed by Vasily, naturally no one is in charge of commanding the battle to attack the station.

  Although no enemy was found at the station, Vasily and Zina still found a suitable location to hide, preparing to kill the German commander when the enemy attacked.

  ...

  The enemy attacking Mamayev Gang withdrew from the battle in despair after suffering heavy losses. They lost more than 300 corpses and 15 tanks in front of the Nangang position, 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 body 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 commander of the first battalion, Vanya, specifically asked Sokov for instructions: "Comrade Brigadier, in front of our position, there are seven or eight overturned tanks. Intact. What do we do with these tanks?"

  According to Vanya's thinking, since these tanks are intact, they can be placed in front of the position as fixed forts, and when the enemy attacks, they can inflict huge damage on them. Unexpectedly, Sokov said unexpectedly: "Blow it up. Captain Vanya, I order you to blow up all these tanks."

Hearing that these still usable tanks were going to be blown up, Vanya was quite reluctant. He thought Sokov didn't know the condition of the tanks, so he quickly introduced to him: "Comrade Brigadier, these tanks are almost intact. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was blown up?"

"Captain Vanya," just as Vanya finished speaking, Sokov's voice came from the receiver: "These tanks overturned because they fell into our trap. Mechanically, turn them all over?"

  Vanya heard that it was true. A German tank weighed more than 10 to 20 tons. Without the help of lifting machinery, they really couldn't turn the tank over. So he replied decisively: "Understood, Comrade Brigadier Commander, I will blow up these tanks immediately."

Just when Vanya organized soldiers to blow up those tanks, Sokov called Sergei to the headquarters and asked bluntly: "Sergesha, I heard that you sent Vasily out to perform a mission? "

   "Yes, Comrade Brigadier." Seryozha replied respectfully: "You said he was an excellent sniper, so I let him try on the battlefield."

"It's nonsense, it's nonsense." Thinking that Vasily was sent to carry out a combat mission by Seryozha 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 are unfamiliar with the place, you send him out to carry out a mission, don’t you let him die?”

   "Don't worry, Comrade Brigadier Commander." Seryozha was surprised by Sokov's reaction. Relying that he is Sokov's neighbor and old friend, he said casually: "Didn't our troops immediately go into battle as soon as they crossed the river? They are also not familiar with the terrain of the city. Everyone else Okay, why can't he."

  Seryozha's words made Sokov speechless for a while. He couldn't tell the other party that Vasily was the **** of sniping in the Soviet army. Before he was familiar with the city, he couldn't be allowed to take risks. He was silent for a long time before he said hesitantly: "Although Vasily is still a new soldier, I think he is a very special person, and he will definitely have an expression that will surprise us all in the future."

From Sokov's tone of voice, Seryozha guessed that Sokov regarded Vasily very highly, and quickly added: "Comrade Brigadier, don't worry, he didn't go out alone. I asked Zina to accompany him." He went there together, and Zina has always been very safe in doing things, so I don't think there should be any problems."

  Knowing that Zina accompanied Vasily on the mission, Sokov felt more at ease. His opinion was the same as that of Seryozha. Zina was a steady person, and with her company, Vasily would not have any problems.

While Sokov was talking to Sergesha, a communications staff officer came over with a telegram and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigadier, the German telegram we just intercepted. Rengerk, commander of the 21st Grenadier Regiment The Colonel and Major Hayden, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Regiment, were shot dead by snipers during the attack on the staff quarters of the station."

   "What, the sniper killed a colonel and a major of the German army." Knowing that the sniper had achieved such a result, Sokov couldn't help but beam with joy. But not long after he was happy, he turned his face hard again and asked, "Do you know which army's sniper did it?"

  The communication staff officer shook his head and replied: "Although the German telegram did not detail it, since they were shot dead in the railway staff dormitory area, it should be the work of the troops standing there."

   Sidolin, who was standing by the side and remained silent, heard the communication staff officer say this, and said regretfully: "That is the area under the responsibility of the 39th Guards Regiment. It must have been done by a sniper from the Guards."

   "No, Comrade Chief of Staff." Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, Seryozha retorted: "I sent Zina and Vasily there to perform the task, maybe they did it."

  Sokov heard this, and asked with surprise: "Seryozha, what did you just say? You sent Zina and Vasily to the dormitory area to perform tasks?"

"Yes." Seryozha nodded and said, "I send snipers nearby to carry out sniper missions every few days. Considering that the Germans have concentrated their forces on attacking the station recently, I sent Zina and Vasily sent over."

   "Comrade Chief of Staff," Sokov immediately said to Sidolin after receiving confirmation from Seryosha, "It seems that these two German officers should have been killed by Zina and Vasily."

"Not necessarily." Sidolin said dubiously: "Vassily is a recruit. It would be nice not to be scared to pee your pants on the battlefield, let alone kill important targets. Although Zina said that if the time for the sniper team is no longer 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 considering how to verify the results of the battle, 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 had returned, Sokov immediately ordered the soldiers: "Call them in."

  When Zina and Vasily were standing in the room, Sidolin asked first: "Zina, how many enemies did you go out today?"

   "Report to Comrade Chief of Staff." Zina turned her body slightly, facing Sidolin and said, "Today we killed a total of 19 enemies, including 11 officers, 6 machine gunners, and 2 tankers."

   "There are 11 officers, and the results are good." After hearing Zina's report, Sidolin had a joyful expression on his face: "I don't know what level of officers they are?"

   "Among them there is a colonel and a major, and the rest are lieutenants and second lieutenants." Zina replied blankly, "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 Lengek and Haydn. Sidolin looked at Zina and continued to ask: "Zina, if I guessed correctly, you should have killed these two officers, right?"

"No, not me, Comrade Chief of Staff." Zina shook her head and replied, "It was Vasily. He fired three shots in succession at a distance of more than 300 meters, killing three German officers, including Including a colonel and a major."

"Good job, Vasily." Sokov walked up to Vasily, put his hands on his shoulders, patted him lightly a few times, and then said: "I didn't expect you to go out on a mission for the first time. Such a huge victory has been achieved. It seems that I have made the most correct decision to bring you over from the 42nd Guards Regiment."
