Serzh Voroshilov trying to free themselves from the adverse pressure but, by eliminating an soldiers, he lose two men in the crossfire. The Ml. Serzh Trofimov was lucky and managed to eliminate two American soldiers with no victim. The Kapitaine Lermontov eliminates a U.S. soldier. Finally, Morozov courageously destroyed M4A3E8 and three American soldiers.
