Anna and Lukin develop a romantic and sexual relationship. Fighting intensifies as Third Squad joins the army trying to break though to German troops trapped at Stalingrad. Lukin and the entire fighter squadron are killed in one action. Anna and Zoya are shot down, with Zoya killed, in Third Squad's sector.
