Chapter 189
< World War II - Liberation(Wyzwolenie) (2) >
April 25th, 1941. Nearly three months had passed since the battle in January.
The Allied Forces, having seized air superiority, had been tormenting the Soviet Army with frequent air raids and shelling.
It wasn't on the level of the rain of shells and bombs they had poured on Italy, but the irregular, surprise bombardments day and night had steadily accumulated damage and fatigue upon the Soviet Army.
But at the same time, the situation of over two months of only shelling and air raids with no offensive had made the Soviet Army accustomed to it.
Because if they didn't force themselves to feel numb and reassured, no person could endure a situation of being unilaterally tormented for three months without being able to do anything.
So when the shelling and air raids began this time as well, the Soviet soldiers, with weary eyes, numbly watched their unlucky comrades get caught in the blasts and hunkered down in their trenches to wait.
But this time, contrary to the Soviet Army's expectation, it did not end with just shelling and air raids.
