Chapter 924: Fierce Fight in the Corridor

Captain Valosha had relatively good eyesight. He had seen the faintly reflective metal wire of the German trip mine through the crack of the door several times, saving his own life and the lives of his comrades at the critical moment when the door was about to break.

If even Captain Valosha did not notice anything unusual, then there was probably nothing unusual.

The soldiers who had been fighting with Captain Valosha chose to trust their company commander unconditionally.

"Submachine gunners go first, those holding big guns should not stand too far forward, as usual, move!"

Captain Valosha, who led the team, gave an order, and several submachine gunners who were close to the wall immediately rushed into the corner of the stairs with their PPShs in their hands.

The footsteps of the soldiers in the brigade were so loud that people who stayed upstairs could clearly hear the chaotic footsteps and react. The submachine gunners who rushed to the front soon encountered a sudden response.

Dong-dang-

Chi--

"Grenade!"

The M24 potato masher that fell and spun in the stairwell was enough to scare the souls of ordinary people. If the two M24 grenades with smoke coming out of their butts exploded like this, all the Red Army soldiers in the narrow stairwell would be unable to escape, and being blown into a pile of broken limbs and flesh on the spot was the only possible outcome.

At this critical moment, the Red Army soldier closest to the grenade let go of the weapon in his hand and threw it down. He raised his hands to the left and right, grabbed an M24 grenade in each hand, and exerted force from his waist towards the top of his head, and threw the two M24 potato mashers that fell from the sky back to the original path.

The fuse of the M24 long-handled grenade burns for five seconds, which is one of the longest fuses among all types of defensive and offensive grenades. Theoretically, there is a high probability that it will be thrown back by the opponent after being thrown out, but it is very rare to encounter such a situation in actual combat.

Most people don't have the courage to pick up the smoking grenade and throw it back like in the game. When a grenade is thrown at your feet, turning around and running is the best choice. However, the German army, who saw the smoking grenade flying vertically again, obviously realized that they might have encountered a Slavic man with a very wild way this time.

Boom--

The two M24 grenades exploded almost at the same time. The two grenades, with a total of 200 grams of warhead charge and a large number of impact fragments produced by the fragmentation sleeve, immediately created a bloody death storm at the height of the second floor stairs.

Unexpectedly, the Russians were so bold as to pick up the smoking grenades and throw them back. The unknown number of German soldiers guarding the stairs were hit hard and it was unknown how many people were killed. The faintly discernible wailing and groaning sound was clearly heard from the stairs on the second floor.

On the other side, the Red Army soldiers who were in the staircase corridor and preparing to attack upwards also suffered some losses.

The Red Army soldier who picked up the two grenades and threw them back up the same way was closest to the explosion. The others subconsciously dodged backwards, but he was the only one who risked his life to save everyone.

The 360-degree range of killing fragments produced by the explosion hit his shoulders, arms, and thighs from top to bottom. If it weren't for the steel helmet on the top of his head blocking it, a fragment with an incorrect angle of incidence would have been directly bounced out with sparks. This Red Army soldier who bravely saved his comrades would have fallen to the ground and died on the spot.

"Carry him down! Get him down, quickly!"

The Red Army soldier who was hit by multiple grenade fragments fell sideways in the stairwell and bled profusely.

The other Red Army soldiers who saved their lives because of his bravery immediately carried him out of the stairwell in a hurry. Captain Varosha, who was leaning against the stairs and had not had time to rush up, took a look at the seriously injured soldier who was still conscious with his facial features squeezed together in pain. Knowing that the opportunity was fleeting, he immediately issued an additional attack order.

"Charge! Everyone, charge up, quickly!"

The German army on the second floor stairwell, which was blown into a mess by the grenades thrown by themselves, had not had time to reorganize the defense. A large number of Red Army soldiers holding PPSh submachine guns rushed up in a swarm.

A wounded German soldier who had just picked up the MP40 submachine gun that was blown away by the shock wave, before he had time to raise his gun and aim, was pinned to the ground by the flames of the PPSh submachine gun that hit him on the head and instantly turned him into a sieve. He was immediately dead with bullet holes all over his body and lay on the ground. It was obvious that he was dead.

The German soldiers who ran out from the inner room to support him ran and shot, holding the triggers of various automatic firearms in their arms and spewing hot flames crazily.

The first few Red Army soldiers who rushed up were swept to the ground because they did not react quickly enough, but after they fell, what was waiting for the German soldiers was the muzzle of the PPSh submachine gun that had been aimed at them.

The super close shooting between the MP40 and the PPSh at a distance of only a few meters began, and the shells fell on the stairwell and the wooden floor like rain, jingling and emitting scorching temperature.

The Red Army soldiers who launched a strong attack with the advantages of the PPSh quickly made a breakthrough.

The PPSh with its large ammunition capacity and fast firing rate overwhelmed the MP40 and forcibly opened up a fire channel. Several Red Army soldiers who rushed to the stairs on the second floor took turns to cover the fire and hurried to reload ammunition. While maintaining the suppression of the German army, they also cleared the stairs to allow their comrades behind them to rush up.

An unknown number of German soldiers were trapped in the inner room on the second floor and could not even stick their heads out. The Red Army submachine gunners who pulled the trigger tightly and refused to let go completely used the barrage of bullets to completely cut off the Germans' last hope of rushing out of the room and fighting to the death.

Following closely behind the submachine gunners was the machine gunner holding a DP rotary light machine gun.

These DP light machine guns, which are specially selected for strong and healthy soldiers to operate, have a unique way of use for the fighting nation. Holding the machine gun in the arms and directly grabbing the front tripod with the other hand to fire from the waist is the most standard way of use. For these strong and healthy soldiers, the excellent recoil brought by the 62mm full-power bullet is almost the same as the submachine gun in the hands of ordinary soldiers.

As soon as the submachine gun stopped, the machine gun immediately pressed up with a sweep of fire from the back foot.

Several German soldiers who were hiding by the wall behind the door frame waiting for an opportunity to move, relying on the cover, were knocked to the ground by the DP light machine gun that shot through the wall before they could react.

The remaining German soldiers who saw this scene immediately retreated in a hurry, but before they could run two steps, they unexpectedly encountered something more terrifying.

Several fragmentation grenades with green smoke were thrown accurately into the room. The German soldiers who didn't even think about picking them up and throwing them back immediately ran in the opposite direction without thinking.

The only thing they didn't expect was that the Russian fragmentation grenades would explode so quickly.
