To Moscow!

German Outpost

" Blasting, turning, fire pouring, into crowds of enemies! His machine gun rattling, roaring, our young gunner clears the fields! Hey, machine gun cart from Rostov... " I was humming a song while driving the car. I don't know why but the song just randomly appears in my head. That happened right after the odd dream. According to the map, I'll not be much further from Murmansk. At this rate I'm gonna reach there in a few days

I stopped the car once again to observe the area. It's still a wasteland with craters everywhere, everywhere looks nearly the same. Dead and lifeless.... Again, nothing seem to be interested. I started the car again and move on, speaking of which my food supply is almost depleted

An hour later

I came out of the car into a nearby abandoned department store. I found no one or corpses here, hope that they ran away safely. I gathered some food cans and move on, on the way back to the car. I heard something hard just being launched out, multiple times. I proceed to head to the noise

"What'd you know, the sound of Artillery. Might be German, or Red Army. I had to check it out." When I reached the vantage point I noticed the German flagpole right in the middle of the camp, my hope for the Red Army vanishes and I'm starting to worry that they gonna caught me snooping around. But they're firing at something, they could be firing at a Russian base. I couldn't let this happened, I need to do something quick.

Then, an idea sparks in my head. The idea is to observe the enemy outpost and take them out. After a few minutes, I only saw the firing team and the commanding officer. Looks like they're operating alone, I load up my Mosin Nagant and push to the outpost. I approached the commanding officer in the tent, aiming down sight the weapon. Waiting for a perfect moment to fire. I tried to time the shot perfectly with the artillery fire, it worked perfectly

"Boom, four more to go..." I said chambering the next round, the soldiers firing the artillery didn't notice me. I sneak up onto one and shot him in the chest. He screamed out and their teammates stopped firing and started looking around. Two of them are helping their injured teammate while the other walked around with his gun. Right when he walked passed me I pulled out the knife and drag him back for an assassination

"Call the Command! Quickly!" The German yell out to his other teammate and he ran to the tent quickly. I noticed him and tried to shoot him down but I missed all of the shots. The other German noticed me and started firing at me, I hid behind a solid cover reloading my gun. I can feel my heart is pounding hard, my hands are shaking. I took the machine gun that the German dropped right next to me and started firing blindly at the enemy. I heard him scream out in the fire and only stopped when I ran out of bullets. Rushing out of my cover to check if they're dead or not I've noticed the other German is back. Charging forward at me with the knife, I put my rifle to block and the knife hit the metal part of it

"Die you Communist scums!" He yelled at me trying to push the knife, he currently pinning me down next to a corpse. I tried to reach my pocket for the knife but the pressure that he kept on me prevent me from doing that. I kicked him and get up as quick as I can. Then i pulled out my knife, making me now a matching opponent. I wouldn't expect this to happened

"Oi, German. Out of shits to do? Why don't ya come and take a piece of me!" I taunted him, he didn't fall for it since he doesn't know Russian, he probably thought that I'm talking shit in front of him. He dash up and try to slash me but I dodge out of the way and stabbed him. He fell to the ground, crawling away. I viciously stab him multiple time until he stopped moving

"Germans are dead. Long live Red Army!" I stand in front of the flagpole and cut it. The attack is a success! I scavenge around and pick up stuff before I get back to my car. I pick up their pistol and the machine gun that they had before leaving
