Chapter 12
The heart of the Reich
April 30th, Berlin 1945
Reznov: "after spending 6 days underground in the metro we are ready to take Berlin, it's within our grasp"
Reznov was pulling Dimitri out of the metro with the others not far behind
Reznov: "Dimitri someday your luck will run out, once again you cheat death, let's hope that day is not today haha"
Chernov started writing in his diary about the war, Reznov snapped at him.
Reznov: "Chernov, what are you doing? Which do you think will lead us home? Writing this war or fighting it? No one will EVER read this! If you cannot kill for your country, at least show me you are willing to die for it!"
He threw Chernov's diary on the floor and kept moving, Chernov picked it up and put it in his pocket.
Reznov gave Chernov the soviet flag
Reznov: "you will put the flag above Berlin!"
They all picked up guns, Dimitri picked up the SVT-40 rifle, they then moved up to a nearby building, inside were some German soldiers, Reznov handed Dimitri a PPSh to kill the Germans, they picked up MP40s and a small fire fight started, the Russians won, they continued outside and killed more Germans hiding behind cover, they then moved through a hole in a building wall, inside was a library and more Germans
Reznov: "kill them all, leave no wounded!"
They kept going and a lot of Germans came inside, Dimitri threw a Molotov at them, they ran around screaming and died, outside was another main street but it was turned into a trench, it lead to another building, the building was a corridor now, it lead outside to more German soldiers
Reznov: "don't worry men it is almost over, just need to push forward, this is for mother Russia, CHARGE!"
They all ran screaming toward the German defences, shooting them all, they were all hiding in a building called Reichstag, they charged to a German anti-air weapon Dimitri threw a grenade at it and it blew up killing the Germans, there were 3 more, Reznov and the others covered Dimitri while he threw grenades at the Flak88s (anti-air weapon) one by one he destroyed the remaining three flak, Germans came running out of the Reichstag building, they killed the remaining Germans but there were now more on the roof with Panzerschrecks, the sniper team took care of them, but more just took their place, so the snipers distracted them while the Russians walked up to the entrance, a column came crashing down on a barrier, Chernov ran up the small area of stairs, and a German with a flamethrower burned Chernov, and Dimitri shot the German
Reznov: "NO CHERNOV!"
Chernov laid on the floor screaming, he then died and Reznov retrieved his diary, and comforted his dead friend
Reznov: "someone, should read this, we should, keep moving."
They went inside Reichstag.
