A bloody storm broke out near the school.

The Soviet prisoners were no match for the German army at all. This was not only because the prisoners were detained in the school for a long time without food, clothing, or warmth, but also because of the huge gap in equipment and preparation between the two sides.

All the troops of a battalion of the German army were deployed, and rifles, machine guns, mortars, etc. were ready to go, and even steel defense lines built by tanks were built as cover.

Although the Soviet army had a large number of troops, they had to pick up weapons from the school gap before they could resist. Not many people could devote themselves to the battlefield at the same time.

So the open space in front of the school soon turned into a slaughterhouse. Teams of Soviet soldiers rushed up and were knocked down by German firepower. Then another team of soldiers rushed forward on the bodies of their comrades.

The Soviet soldiers also tried to break through from other directions, but the German army surrounded the entire school and no matter how the Soviet army charged, they were fired back by the German fire.

"Comrade Political Commissar!" A Soviet soldier shouted at Matvich: "What should we do?"

Matvich looked out the window in a daze, where there were already piles of Soviet prisoners and the corpses continued to increase.

Actually, there is no need to look at it. The moment when the German army opened fire, Matvich knew that Pukayev's plan was about to fail... It was very difficult for Soviet prisoners to even get weapons, because the German machine guns, mortars and tanks used firepower to impose a very powerful firepower blockade on the wreckage of the glider loaded with weapons. Many soldiers fell on the way to snatch and find weapons.

If there were no weapons, the Soviet soldiers were using their flesh and blood to collide with the German steel defense line.

The idea of ​​surrender flashed through Matvic's mind, but it was quickly rejected by Matvic.

Because he still has family, because he comes from a military family, because he still has relatives in the family who hold high positions in the army...

Thinking of this, Matvich could only grit his teeth and tell the Soviet soldiers a lie he didn't even believe in himself: "Stand it, comrades, we don't need to defeat them, nor break through their defense, we just need to hold them back. Look, we have restrained their tanks and a large number of troops, and at the same time our main force is launching a fierce attack on them. As long as we hold on for a while, they will collapse. Victory belongs to us!"

The Soviet prisoners believed Matvich's words, perhaps out of fear... The Soviet prisoners all knew one thing that they had been prisoners were actually traitors of the Soviet Union. Now it can be said that they were their only chance. If they don't "reform" anymore, then when the Soviet army captured Holm and rushed in, they would "give more crimes". So the Soviet prisoners could only scream again, pick up the guns thrown by their comrades on the ground and rushed forward.

The land of the school was filled with corpses, and blood mixed with melted snow water flowed along the low-lying area into the stream next to the school, dyeing the entire stream red, and then slowly flowing to the Lovati River, which had not yet been thawed, dyeing the remaining snow along the coast into a shocking red.

In the end, even the German soldiers who had been through many battles were lenient.

Some soldiers wrote this description in their post-war diary: "This battle seems simple, because it is just pointing the gun at the enemy and pulling the trigger. But it is not the case... It is a question of human nature, a struggle, a torture. I told myself time and time again that those are enemies, and we should do it. But the problem is that this battle makes us feel like shooting at unarmed people instead of soldiers. I even want to shout at my comrades: 'Why don't we wait for them to pick up the rifle and then shoot?'. Of course, I know that it is impossible, because it is war, it is not a duel between warriors or a duel between gentlemen. There is no demeanor and mercy here, and any sympathy for the enemy is a fool. What I need to do is convince myself!"

Finally, the battle is over.

The school also fired a few cold guns from time to time, but the tank "rumbled" and fired a few shots and there was no sound at all.

Qin Chuan waved his hand, and several teams of soldiers rushed over the tank. As usual, they threw a few grenades inside and then broke into the classroom, followed by another burst of gunfire.

Qin Chuan did not go in. He only saw German soldiers dragging the living people out one by one and pulling them under the headlights in front of the tank. Ironically, behind them were the portraits of Lenin and Stalin.

"He looks like an officer, Captain!" Werner kicked one of them to the ground: "When I caught him, he was ordering the others to continue fighting!"

"Ask him what his name is?" Qin Chuan said to the translator.

The translator stepped forward and asked a few words in Russian, but the Soviet officer answered nothing, just spitting bloody saliva at him.

The angry translator stepped forward and punched him twice.

Qin Chuan stepped forward to stop the translation's rough behavior.

In any case, those who can persevere until now have not collapsed and are still persisting deserve respect.

When the Soviet officer saw Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and then he rushed up like a wounded beast, but was soon knocked to the ground by Keller's butt stock.

"He recognizes me!" Qin Chuan said.

The translator asked the Soviet army the same thing, and then the question was answered soon.

"He knows you are the 'Legend Sergeant', Captain!" the translator replied.

"Oh!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that there might be many people, but not many people could recognize him.

Then the translator asked the answer from other Soviet soldiers: "His name is Matvich, Captain. He is the political commissar of the 33rd Infantry Division of the Soviet Army and their commander!"

These words surprised all the German officers and soldiers, because the Soviet army would actually send such an important commander to the prisoner camp to carry out such a dangerous mission.

"That's right, it's not surprising that he will recognize you!" said the baker: "He must have planned to assassinate you, and of course he has seen your photos!"

Qin Chuan nodded.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he heard Mattevich shouting unwillingly behind him, begging in his eyes.

Qin Chuan looked at the translator in confusion, and the translator explained: "He hopes you can kill him!"

"Why?"

"You know!" the translator replied: "If he does not die but is a prisoner, he will be a 'traitor' of the Soviet Union!"

Qin Chuan nodded, pulled out his pistol and walked to Matvich.

Matvic nodded to Qin Chuan gratefully and said something. Although Qin Chuan couldn't understand, he knew that it was the meaning of thanks.
