"For Mother Russia, comrades! Do not turn your back on her!"

Plot[]

Following their successful but costly recapture of the Stalingrad docks, the 13th Guards Rifle Division pushes ahead to retake Red Square. The first assault is repulsed by the German defenders, and the survivors fall back to the other end of the square, claiming that further attacks are futile.

Corporal Alexei Voronin watches as Senior Lieutenant Kozlov and his group of commissars machine gun the retreating men, after they refuse warnings to turn back around. Kozlov tells the men not to abandon Mother Russia, and then blows the whistle, signaling a new attack. Scores of Soviet soldiers charge forward across the square into German MG42, artillery, and tank fire, and are mown down. Taking a Mosin-Nagant from a dead comrade, Voronin takes cover behind the base of the monument and meets Sergeant Makarov. Makarov says that they will be killed regardless of if they advance or retreat, so they should find a way to flank the German position. Voronin and Makarov head right of the square into an apartment building through a shell hole.

They clear the ground floor of German troops and move up several flights of stairs to the top floor, exchanging fire with Germans in a building opposite them the whole way. Clearing the rooms on the top floor, Voronin and Makarov move into a room overlooking the German position on the square. Makarov tells Voronin to concentrate on the German officers, who are directing reinforcements to hold the square. Voronin kills four with a sniper rifle, and the Germans on the blockade start to be picked off one at a time. The two fight their way back down to ground level as Soviet artillery begins hammering the German line, destroying the two Panzer IV tanks. Makarov tells Voronin to report to Major V. S. Zubov that they have successfully recaptured Red Square.

Voronin moves past the German line and into the streets beyond Red Square towards the train station. Scattered groups of German soldiers try to stop him, but Voronin pushes through them with the help of a Red Army squad. He faces snipers up in high windows and MG42 nests, eliminating them as he moves through the streets. Moving through a destroyed brick building and emerging on the other side, Voronin finds the entrance to the train station. He and the others kill the Germans defending the area, and they move inside the train station.

Trivia[]

  • The part where the Russian soldiers retreating from Red Square get gunned down is another reference to the film Enemy at the Gates.
  • After the player clears the Red Square they can use the MG42 and kill allies without failing the mission.
  • If the player kills the commissar on the MG42 he can approach Sr. Lt. Kozlov and kill him with grenades and can pick up his Luger. This is the only way to obtain a Luger in the level.
Maxims overheated CoD1

The overheated water-cooled machine guns.

  • Near the commissars' MG42 nest, the player can see several Maxim machine guns on the ground with smoke coming from their barrels. This would imply that they were used until they were overheated, then discarded for a captured MG42.
