Chapter 8

April 23rd 1945

Outskirts of Berlin:

The Russians were getting off a train, leading into Berlin, just ahead of them were some houses with Germans in them

Reznov: "today we take Berlin, use everything at your disposal even your bare hands, URA"

They all stood on a hill as bombs fell on the houses destroying them, the Russians run towards the remaining buildings, some Germans, came out of them with MP40s, the Russians overwhelmed them, and continued, through the building, some Germans were dying on the floor, Dimitri killed them

Commissioner Markhov: "they are animals, the plague that swepped the mother land, they deserve our gift"

Dimitri look out on the balcony with Reznov and Chernov, as just below them, more Russian soldiers were executing Germans, Chernov looked away in disgust.

They continued down stairs and outside to a Russian tank, next to a dead end.

Chernov: "how do we get through?"

The tank then plowed through the wall

Reznov: "haha ike that Chernov, with brute force"

The rest of them followed the tank through the wall, they came to the square of Berlin, and Germans came out of buildings with MP40s, but Dimitri fired at a nearby car, it exploded killing them, more approached and the Russians fought the Germans, Dimitri made his way through the square with the others not far behind him

Reznov: "see how Dimitri leads the way like a true hero!"

They came to a big building, what looked like an old asylum Germans surrounded the building, the Russians used there brute force to kill most of the German, some of the Russian soldiers were killed in the process, inside the asylum was a courtyard as it was the only thing not totally destroyed, there was a fountain in piece, they went inside the remainder of the building, they went upstairs and on the floor was a double barrel shotgun.

Reznov: "Dimitri grab a shotgun we will be in close quarters"

He picked it up and loaded it

Reznov: "shh do you hear something"

Chernov: "no?"

Reznov: "that is why I am suspicious"

They moved through a door, and there was a long corridor, sevral Germans came out of the doorways, Dimitri used his shotgun to kill them, he had to reload, as he did the squad covered him, he then shot the remaining two Germans. Then Germans with snipers were on the roof, Dimitri switched to a Mosin-nagant and sniped each one off, they continued through the building, and there was one German using a mounted MG42, it tore up a few Russian soldiers, and Reznov, shot him with a PPSh. They continued outside of the building, they were now in the main street of Berlin, several Russian tanks, drove past and Dimitri got on one and used a machine gun, to shoot any remaining Germans running away, the others followed, the tanks ripped through Berlin blowing up buildings and cars, some Germans tried retaliating with some Panzerschrecks, but the tanks blew them up too, there was no hope for Berlin, the Russians had won this battle

Commissioner Markhov (on a megaphone): "attention people of Berlin, a ring of steel surrounds you're ROTTEN city! We will crush all who dare resist the will of the red army! Abandon your posts, abandon your homes, abandon all hope! URA!"

Much of Berlin still stands but the Red army have taken the main street of Berlin!
