Ugh I am really begining to wounder why I made this story, but I vowed I would never leave a story unfinished and I'm going to keep that vow, there's only 1 more chapter anyway
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Next Day: 0900 hours
Paul walked slowly through the streets of the southern part of Saint Petersburg, it was unknown to him or to most of the other soldiers what exactly they were going to encounter, the group was about half a regiment, roughly 1000 men. They also had 15 tanks. Paul himself was in a small scouting party of about 80 men and 2 tanks that had gone ahead of the group. They were taking a small break when suddenly:
"Sniper!" Cried one of the soldiers right before a bullet flew through his head.
At that all the men scattered running for cover, Paul himself created a small force field as he ran taking cover behind a post box. More fire was heard as the group looked up and saw more snipers in the windows of buildings. A fire fight ensued.
The men taking cover fired back at the snipers, however their weapons were mostly short range automatic so they couldn't reach most of the snipers. But relief came the tanks turned their turrets to the buildings and fired taking down a good bunch of snipers. But this was short lived. Suddenly Paul spotted several men on the building with RPGs, and within seconds both the tanks went up a blaze.
"Damn." muttered Paul to himself.
Paul again looked around he saw the majority of what was left of his squad was pinned down behind one of the tanks; the building the snipers were using was only a few yards from his position. Using his speed (and his powers) he dashed into the building. The building it self was only three stories, most of the fire was coming from the third floor. He quickly dashed to the stairs and looked up, he saw two communist snipers. His rifle was a bolt action so he pulled out a pistol, it had nine shots. He quickly dispatched the two snipers, then moved up another floor. Again there were snipers only four this time. Again using his pistol he shot all of them. he the moved to the window. He now had a clear view of the other buildings, He used his rifle and took out the men with RPGs, then several more snipers. Suddenly it was quiet. Then the sound of tanks and soldiers could be heard, the snipers slowly crawled out of their buildings and managed to slip off without being seen or heard. The rest of Paul's group had heard the fight and come to help.
When the group finally reached the air field, they found their suspicions to be false the air field had been long deserted, all they had really accomplished in this trek was killing a few snipers. Back at the main camp they heard the attack on the fort near Lake Ladoga, had been a success and now all forces in the city were converging on the Winter Palace for the final assault.
