00:00This Soviet political officer lay among a pile of corpses, trying to play dead to avoid detection.
00:05But the Germans, making sure there were no survivors, sprayed the bodies randomly with their submachine guns.
00:10What they didn't realize was that they'd accidentally left one person alive, and this would come back to
00:14haunt them.
00:15The moment the German soldiers looked away, he carefully crawled out.
00:17He quietly picked up a rifle and aimed at two nearby German officers.
00:21Just then, a voice suddenly stopped him.
00:23It was another soldier who'd been playing dead.
00:25The soldier told him that firing randomly would give away their position.
00:27But the officer didn't want to listen.
00:29He tried to work the bolt, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
00:32At that moment, the soldier crawled over, took the rifle, and loaded the only five bullets they had.
00:37Just as the soldier was about to shoot, an armored vehicle pulled up and three German soldiers got out.
00:41This sudden development put increasing pressure on the soldier because he only had five bullets in his gun.
00:46He had to make every shot count.
00:47At that moment, a guard sensed something was off and walked over without hesitation.
00:51Suddenly, a shot rang out.
00:53He'd killed the German officer through a drainage hole, but the other Germans didn't notice.
00:56He expertly chambered another round and took aim.
00:58By the time the nearby German soldier reacted, the soldier had killed him with one shot.
01:03The alert German soldier realized something was wrong and quickly dropped to the ground.
01:06Right then, he immediately fired his third shot.
01:09The German on the ground tried to throw a grenade.
01:11He raised his rifle and fired again.
01:12The last German soldier realized what was happening and tried to run, but the soldier stood up and took aim.
01:17In the end, all five bullets hit their targets.
01:19The political officer beside him was stunned by this marksmanship.
01:22A true sharpshooter stood before him, and a bold idea took shape.
01:25The officer published the sharpshooter's story in the newspaper.
01:28His story successfully boosted the morale of Soviet soldiers.
