Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 232 >

“The Armed Forces Falschrumjaeger is approaching the headquarters building!”

– Taang!

One enemy’s head was smashed with a single shot.

Vasily Zaychev once again pulled the trigger.

-bang!

Another shot.

It didn’t take more than one shot to kill one.

-Peeing!

For a moment, a noise like tinnitus haunted him.

No, it wasn’t tinnitus, it was the noise of bullets passing by.

‘damn.’

location was discovered. One of those guys must have been trying to counter-sniper.

Slowly, Vasily crawled behind cover. I was thinking of changing the shooting position.

A sniper fight is a breathtaking fight. Right now, even the enemy paratroopers are afraid of snipers, so they don’t dare charge.

Carefully, little by little, shifting his position, he brought his eyes back to the scope and looked around.

Where would he have taken cover, behind the wreckage of a destroyed tank? No, it’s too conspicuous.

So, behind the broken wall over there? No, the shooting angle doesn’t come out properly.

if not……..

In an instant, something caught Zaychev’s eyes.

There, there seemed to be something on the stump of a fallen tree.

But I wasn’t sure.

The sense comes from two, maybe both, snipers in one, or the other in the wrong place.

At least the probability that there is something on that tree stump…

‘half and half.’

Just once, it would be nice if someone could guide me to fire.

For a moment, I miss the three snipers I used to go with. Two are far apart, but one is on the other side of the base.

But now he was alone. There is no one to guide the shooting.

– Taang!

In an instant, a bullet flew in. No, it wasn’t a bullet fired at him.

And Zaychev’s eyes lit up when he saw it.

‘found!’

His keen eyesight caught movement behind the tree stump.

‘If one shot is not enough, two shots are enough.’

It was the theory of Shimo Hewihe, who moved with him after the Tibet incident.

The bullets from his sniper rifle are enough to pierce that tree stump. Now that you know the outline of the enemy’s body, you can shoot. It’s a semi-auto rifle, so it’s not lacking in rate of fire.

But the problem is, if there was one more sniper, who may or may not be, who still cares, I would have given him a bullet in his head with peace of mind if he had one more sniper to cover him.

Then, a variable arose.

A few enemy infantry threw something that looked like a grenade.

No, it’s not a grenade. Recognizing its warhead, which looked like a stick grenade, and the tape wrapped around the handle, Zaychev recognized it as a smoke grenade.

It seemed like he was thinking of putting a smoke screen in front of the sniper and then moving forward.

However, although it is true that smoke screens are advantageous to them, it is not necessarily so.

‘The wind direction blows slightly obliquely from my body, and if I go down there, I can completely cover my position with a smoke screen from a position presumed to be an enemy sniper’s position…’

Zaychev pondered for a moment, then shook his head in his mind. It is even more problematic if it is discovered while recklessly relocating. With a little more patience…

– Whoops!

The sound of the grenade booby trap I had made earlier was exploding. It was the price for carelessly touching the tripwire.

At that moment, Zaychev seized the opportunity. He witnessed the body of the enemy sniper suddenly twisting. It was clear that he had unconsciously turned his gaze upon hearing the explosion.

Chance was now!

– Taang!

– Taang!

Two bullets split the air. One bullet pierced a tree stump.

The other flew into the shadows of the sandbags.

Seeing a corpse drooping down a tree stump, Zaytseff turned his gaze to the sandbag.

The scope, lying on the floor, was shining in the sunlight of southern France, almost relaxing in an instant.

And that saved his life.

– Booaa!

The German machine guns flew in with a tearing sound, roughly pointing in the direction he was in.

Fragments of the stone structure flew in all directions, and Zaychev had to crouch to avoid firing.

But he didn’t necessarily have to show his body to attack.

– Tung! pop!

The grenade flew and blew up the enemy machine gun seat. In a single shot, the enemy machine gunner and assistant gunner jumped up like frogs.

This is enough. Zaychev quickly escaped the fort he had built, and if he took up a new one, he would be able to delay the enemy a little more.

***

Otto Skorzeny grinded his teeth. Both snipers were counter-shot and killed.

“Who is Erwin?”

“He died. Heinz too.”

König’s sight was pierced and a bullet was hit in the eye and into the brain. I couldn’t survive.

Skorzeny sharpened his teeth when he saw two of the best snipers in the unit died in vain. In addition, a grenade flew at just the right time, blowing up the machine gun position that was trying to subdue the enemy sniper, smashing a precious machine gun and two operators together.

No radio, the only way is to hit as much firepower as possible in the supposed location of the enemy snipers, did they bring mortars or what?

“There is only one PIAT made in the UK.”

The British-made PIAT, an anti-tank weapon made on the basis of a mortar, was one of the many efforts of the British Army to penetrate Russian tank armor.

Existing anti-tank rifles didn’t even work on the rear, so the Germans made the Panzerfaust, and the British made the PIAT. Its power was similar to that of the early Panzerfaust, and there was no back storm, so there was little exposure of the location, and it was possible to shoot while lying down in an enclosed space. The downside is that the recoil is a bit harsh.

“great. Once the location of the enemy sniper is identified, crush it.”

Of course, this also has limitations. The biggest problem is the lack of ammunition.

It was only natural that the situation assumed in the first place was not about having to face an enemy T-32 tank, or getting caught in a trap dug by a Russian sniper, and after a long fight, two of our snipers were counter-snipped.

No matter how elite the Pridental troops were, they did not deviate from the human category.

At that moment, gunshots were heard.

– Puff!

Halberstadt’s head was smashed with the sound of watermelon cracking.

“ね!”

Skorzeny, covered in blood, immediately fell on his face. That saved his life. Zaychev, realizing that he couldn’t catch two enemies at once because the bullets deviated a few inches away from each other, lost his target just as he was about to pull the trigger.

Skorzeny saw the direction the bullet was flying and immediately fired the PIAT in the direction the bullet was flying.

– Aww!

As the binge exploded, Skorzeny got up and shouted.

“smoke shell! right now!”

“Yes?”

“I don’t care if he’s dead or not! Time was too late! run!”

It was painful as if his shoulder had been dislocated after receiving the recoil, but Skorzeny, forgetting even the pain, grabbed a submachine gun and rushed at full speed.

Skorzeny, having passed the corpses of his comrades, was finally able to enter the headquarters. Recognizing that Skorzeni was the conductor, Zaychev had to put an end to his disappointment when he saw his opponent running into the building.

He killed a few more enemies behind him, but failed to kill the commander.

‘Well, I’m not the only one here, it’s going to be quite difficult for you guys to get back to life.’

In any case, the toll was going to be expensive.

***

Spetsnaz vs Freedental, who will win?

All of the people involved said, ‘It will depend on the situation.’ will say

In any case, the Freedental forces, created to catch up with Spetsnaz, decapitated Manstein and did their best to suppress the rebellion.

If the problem is that they did not expect to engage a large number of enemies in the first place, but only thought that some people resisted and resisted the arrest, they sold ammunition, grenades, anti-tank weapons, etc. so that they could escape safely even if things go wrong. The Spetsnaz he had brought in Bari couldn’t be the same.

– Kwak!

“It’s a booby trap!”

“Damn it, you’re really swearing!”

Ball bearings and debris flew like a storm, one comrade shattered, and other crew members were also seen bleeding from the debris.

The Spetsnaz installed strange directional bombs in the street while firing, thoroughly camouflaged them, and then detonated them when the members of the Freedental came into range.

It was a very obvious tactic, but at the same time, the tactic that pissed me off the most was that I had to face it knowingly in a position where I couldn’t stop pursuing.

– Whoops!

And another explosion occurred.

“How much have you suffered?”

“About three fighters and 10 wounded in total… Colonel, no more…”

“Shit.”

Most of his subordinates were killed or injured, and time was wasted too much.

around? confusion itself. In some cases, the surrender and resistance groups are holding weapons and shooting at each other, but most of them keep their heads down and hesitate because they don’t know who to side with.

Still, he got to his nose, really close to his nose, and even reached enough distance for a gunfight and caused casualties among the fleeing Mansteins, so should we give up and retreat?

“No, at least we should not let Manstein lead the army.”

Leaving Manstein alone puts Vichy in danger right now, aside from taking over the entire southern part of France.

Furthermore, the defense force of the model becomes dangerous. If the model is hit in the back without knowing anything, the maginot line is broken, and the National Defense Forces and the SS, who were suddenly surrounded by a siege, cannot avoid annihilation.

Of course, there’s nothing to say about what’s different from a long-term perspective, but Skorzeny doesn’t care about that in the first place.

Because there is nothing more meaningless than asking why people fight when defeat is already certain to a human who simply does their best to complete it when an order is given.

“Give up the chase, go to the communication facility and find the good equipment first, and let’s hope that the wired communication equipment is safe. Damn, even if you only know where the jammer is…”

Manstein’s treason could not be reported to Vichy because of jamming. Of course, considering that Manstein was plotting and it was Heidrich, who was in command of the Vichy defense, who ordered the arrest, Vichy itself was defended, but the Russian offensive was killed in Sedan. A model who was holding back was literally too much of a chance to open her eyes and be stabbed in the back of the head.

Moreover, there was no guarantee that the Russian army would not advance at a high speed from the south during this self-restraint.

To settle this, we must declare Manstein’s treason and deprivation of command, and reform the defenses with loyalist forces, how? That wasn’t what he thought. It’s probably a problem for models and other generals to boil.

He only had to deal with the problems before him.
