Chapter 7: Battle Of Berlin (Part 2)
19 April 1945, Berlin 1:46 am
The whole team woke up waiting till 2 o’clock in the morning will hit, “Neo, you sure you heard the Germans correctly?” Jeff asked, “I speak German very fluently,” Neo said.
2:03 am
“2 o’clock has passed Neo, now you sure?” Jeff asked, “Neo’s right,” John said, “What?” Jeff said surprised, “Up the road a line of tanks coming. we got the explosives ready right?” John asked, “Yes,” Leo answered and proceeded to line up the explosives so they would be easier to take and throw.
“Throw when they get close,” John added, “Roger that,” Neo said. Tanks were moving “Go,” John said, the team started throwing the explosives repeatedly, “John! Too many flames!” Neo shouted, “More flames equal more damage,” John answered, “Pick up the 50 Caliber MG!” John said, “We need to kill some soldiers, not always tanks,” John added.
Jeff ran to the 5o Caliber machine gun and held the angle watching the stairs, “Stairs clear!” Jeff shouted, Germans were now at the stairs, “Take that back!” Jeff shouted and shot the machine gun.
“I need cover here!” Jeff added, Neo came to Jeff and helped him shoot Germans who were trying to get up the stairs.
“FALL BACK!” John shouted, “Neo’s right, too many soldiers and flames, Fall back!” John added, “AHH!” Alex was shot in the chest, “ALEX!” Lucas shouted.
SWISH! German soldiers shot Lucas in the arm, leg, and chest.
Leo and Neo ran to Lucas and carried him to cover, “There are too many Germans!” Jeff shouted, “We should jump out the window,” Elijah suggested, “It’s our only way, what about Lucas, he’s hurt, and Alex is gone,” John said.
“We have to jump with him then,” Leo suggested, “JUST JUMP!” Elijah shouted and jumped breaking the glass window followed by Jeff, John, Leo, Jack, and John. “Well, looks like it’s me and you Lucas,” Neo said, “Jump off, leave me,” Lucas demanded, “No I can’t leave you here with Germans,” Neo disagreed.
“I’ll die anyway, go now!” Lucas cried in agony, “As you say,” Neo said sadly and jumped off, “Where's Lucas?” Jack asked.
Neo was crying and replied with “He told me to go, he’ll buy us time.”
“Alright, Lucas said he’ll buy us time, we need to run,” John said “Roger,” The team said and ran, Russian and polish soldiers were standing there, “TANKS AND SOLDIERS THERE!” John shouted, the Polish soldiers picked up explosives while the Russians waited to kill German soldiers.
BOOSH! German tanks and soldiers exploded, “We should stay behind this wall and help them,” Jeff suggested, “Sure,” Elijah agreed.
“Neo, you’re the only medic instead of Lucas, help me with this glass cut please,” Elijah said, “Sure,” Neo said, “Leo, Jeff, Cover me,” Neo demanded, “Roger,” Leo agreed.
Leo and Jeff were covering Neo while he was bandaging Elijah, “Job’s done,” Neo said. “Looks like we have to fight all night,” Jeff said. “Elijah is in a very deep sleep, we just have to hold the German’s back till tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, Germans need to rest too, probably keep two or three awake all night,” Neo said,
Jeff, John, and Leo were awake most of the night, “Nothing’s happening, so we should sleep,” John suggested, “True, we’re all pretty sleepy,” Neo agreed.
20th April 1945, Berlin 6:02 am
Leo woke up, right in the middle of Hitler launching a Blitzkrieg in his own city, “TEAM!” Neo shouted. The team woke up, “What?” Leo asked, “Hitler sent a blitzkrieg on his own city, the German capital,” Neo said.
BOOSH! A tank bullet exploded just at the wall.
Jeff, John, Jack, Leo, Neo, Elijah and Greg were on the floor, the air was filled with dust, “Ahem!” Greg coughed. “Get out of the tank's view!” John shouted and ran, several tanks were chasing them.
BOOSH! The tank shot at Jack.
WHISH! Jack was flying and hit the wall, Neo ran to Jack, “John! Jack’s dead keep running!” Neo shouted
Elijah’s bullets riddled the tank’s armor but never got to kill the driver, “The Panzers are too powerful, we need to wait till more Russians or Polish come to help?” Elijah yelled.
“How do we know Russians and Polish are going to come?” Jeff asked, “Maybe wait,” John answered. “The tanks are still trying to find us,” Elijah said, “Oh, now look, Russians and Polish come now, we’re in luck,” Jeff added, “Yes, we are in luck,” John said, “GO BACK INSIDE!” John shouted.
The team ran inside firing at Germans, but the tanks kept firing until Elijah was shot. DEAD.
“DARN IT! TWO MEN DIED TODAY!” Jeff shouted, “First Lucas, then Jack, now Elijah, both were really good men,” John added.
“I hope the people who killed them, both will die!” Jeff shouted, Leo stared at Elijah’s body, “I hope I don’t die like that,” Leo said to Neo, “Same, his whole arm exploded out,” Neo agreed.
“We need to leave this place, guys, or you’re gonna die just like him,” John demanded, “Well, goodbye, Elijah, If I make it out alive, probably I just got lucky,” Leo said to Elijah who was in the floor and followed the group.
PENG! A Sniper bullet shot Jeff in the chest, “COVER ME!” Jeff shouted who was hurt. Neo dragged Jeff behind a house from the German sniper, Neo put his bag down, “Lucky for you this is the last bandage roll I have,” Neo said and started to bandage Jeff, “You should maybe go home,” Neo said, “Commander’s not letting me,” Jeff answered.
“But you’re injured,” Neo added, “Can’t, my brother’s not injured, so he can’t go back, I’m staying to fight with him,” Jeff said and stood up, Leo lied down on the floor trying to find the sniper, “Sniper spotted!” Leo shouted and took a shot, “Sniper down!” Leo shouted again, “Roger that, we can continue,” John said.
“I think we should rest in the house, Jeff’s injured, we can take the rest of this day off,” Neo said, “I agree with Neo, I’m injured and every day we wake up early and sleep late,” Jeff agreed to Neo’s plan.
“Fine,” John said and went inside a building, The team ate a dead squirrel they found with some leftover apples and slept.
