第1章 Destruction and cruel of war(1 / 3)

i walked with my sergeant major in the heavy snow. russian weather is much colder than east prussia. i admit that i miss my hometown and my family very much,but the war is not over. snowflakes dancing in the sky are as beautiful as goose feathers. if it were in berlin or hamburg, i would stop and look up. but this is the front line and the land of russia is the battlefield. it could be death and cold that numbed me, but i really didn't have the heart to see it. the snow kept falling, and the sergeant major and i walked on like machines. none of us stopped to appreciate the heavy snow in russia. we're going to relieve guard with sentinel who have been working for three hours “little brother, it's too cold. guess what, before we get there, will the sentinels become ice carvings in the room?” said the sergeant, tearing his hoarse throat. the joke isn't that funny, maybe just to get the atmosphere out of the cold, but i thought it was fun at that time.“if so, let's take our time. i want to see how big and strong lainson is frozen. i don't think he's going to like his body that like a popsicle.” i said sarcastically. then we both started laughing hysterically……

the wind is getting bigger, which makes the air go quiet again. unfortunately, this quiet was not as long as i had hoped, gunfire and explosions broke it. at that time, we could already see the snow-covered post, and in the far woods there were many figures, and the fire and the sound of gunfire came from the woods.“it must be guerrilla, damn soviet!“ the sergeant major was cursed loudly. suddenly he became very calm “we should form the first small line of defense and stop them for a while until reinforcements arrive.“ although i was frightened by his change, i didn't forget to give three shots in the air to inform the rear troops for support.“that's a good idea,“ i said.“get down behind the little mound!“ he ran to the mound i followed. i was really scared by his coolness after we're done with this series of actions. his face was calm, it could have been his experience of nazi fever and multiple battles, but to be honest, i was really scared. i can tell that from my expression. we loaded our rifles the eyes were looking through the sight. there are more and more people in the forest there are about two hundred guerrillas. their firepower is strong, and we are already looking forward to the reinforcements coming soon. of course, the five people in the post were very worried. we could already hear the shouts of the russians, and we saw some of the guerrillas on their way, the brave soldiers of the post knocked them down.“our soldiers should pull out quickly or they will be surrounded!““i said in a trembling voice.
