West of Minsk
by Tong Zhe
About This Novel
Alexei did not know how dangerous the mission Colonel Okonelov was about to send him. At this moment, he was still leisurely chewing the chewing gum given to him by the US military observer the day before yesterday, while carefully polishing his beloved German-made Mauser Kar98k sniper rifle. This gun was a trophy he obtained after killing a German sniper with a Browning with only two bullets left during the defense of Minsk. It was July 2, 1941, and the German army had just occupied Minsk. The large German army was also heading towards Smolensk. I heard that these bastards would capture Moscow before Christmas. The gradually pessimistic atmosphere, together with the flames of war, spread little by little in the western part of the Soviet Union.
