On the night they arrived in Plaxi, Weiran and Jima moved into two renovated glass houses respectively.
As night fell, Wei Ran lay on the soft and clean big bed and looked at the clear starry sky above his head. His mood, which had become a little anxious due to various things and experiences in the recent period, also calmed down. The only regret was that I didn't get to see the expected aurora until I fell asleep.
After a comfortable night's sleep, after breakfast the next day, Wei Ran set up a projector in the living room and displayed a satellite map of Plaxi to the north.
In the end, they did not walk there as they had agreed on the plane yesterday, because after they came back yesterday, Chris, who was very familiar with the area around their home, gave a negative answer.
According to her, if it was December, even if there were only reindeer or a few sled dogs, they might still leave the road and cross the frozen lakes to reach the Rat Highway, but It will be at least a month before the cold lake water and the large swamps around the lake are frozen enough for people to walk. At this time, it will take at least four days to hike to the Rat Highway.
This is of course unacceptable to Wei Ran. By the time he walks to the Rat Highway in four days, I am afraid that Culp of Hongqi Forestry Farm has already calculated the tuition fees he should pay.
In desperation, the only things we can rely on now are high-definition satellite maps and topographic maps, as well as the photos Ji Ma took along the plane yesterday.
"Victor, aren't we looking for the missing division commander? What can be seen in these maps?" Chris sat opposite Wei Ran with a large pot of scalding coffee, puzzled. asked.
Hearing this, Wei Ran replied without thinking, "Let's not consider whether a division commander who decides to escape will escape with a flag that is not only useless to him but may even attract more enemies. Even if we assume that the flag is indeed a relic of Zelentsov, the commander of the 163rd Infantry Division, we still have to see if he has a chance to run from the Rat Highway to Plassey alive."
"I think it's not difficult."
Jima, who was watching the excitement, was the first to say, "The straight-line distance is only ten kilometers. In winter, as long as you have a pair of skis, the distance is not that far."
“It’s not as simple as you think”
Weiran took the coffee and pointed to a map brought from Volgograd and explained, “In that battle that year Here, the 163rd Infantry Division crossed the border from the northeast of Suao Musalmi and attacked southward along the lake shore to the southwest. On the Lat Highway due east, the main force of the attacking and fleeing Soviet troops was motorized infantry. 44th Division.
So even if the commander of the 163rd Division planned to escape and was willing to take the fatal military flag with him, as long as he was in his right mind, he should run along Lake Kenanta to the northeast of the White Sea border. Yes, it is impossible to go in the opposite direction and go around such a long distance to the direction of the 44th Division.
Or to put it another way., even if a division commander fled here with the military flag, it should have been the commander of the 44th Division who was shot after successfully returning to the Soviet Union, Vinogradov. "
"So I have nothing to do with the missing division commander? "Chris asked while holding the coffee.
"It's hard to say yet."
Wei Ran was extra cautious, "It's not unusual for anything illogical to happen during the war years. And according to the current terrain analysis, it is probably far more difficult for the division commander to get here than to escape back to the Soviet Union. However, it is indeed strange that this flag appears here, so I may have to check the information. "
"I'll excuse you." Chris saw this and stopped interrupting. He stood up and was about to leave.
"Aunt Chris" Wei Ran called the other party, "If it's convenient Can you change my room? "
"What? Are those glass houses uncomfortable to live in? "Chris asked nervously. She and Akeem were planning to rely on those glass houses to attract tourists.
"No, no, no"
Wei Ran quickly shook his head and waved his hands. He came up with an excuse that he had thought up in advance, "Because it was so comfortable, I almost stayed up all night waiting to see the aurora last night, so if possible, could you help me change rooms?" Otherwise I wouldn't be able to concentrate at all. "
"That's it." Chris breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "The rooms on the second floor are all empty. You can choose one by yourself. "
"Thank you very much. I will move there this afternoon. ”
Wei Ran quickly thanked him. Of course he didn’t really dislike those glass houses, but those houses were unobstructed and even the only curtains were translucent. He didn’t want to really need to use them. Scaring others when he was holding a cowhide notebook
Under Ji Ma's constant harassment of urging him to go to a bar in the city to relax, Wei Ran spent a whole day chasing Suo Musalmi. I carefully studied the battlefield terrain maps and satellite maps involved in the battle, and then took Ji Ma to review the Morse code. Then I excused myself from needing some quiet time and came holding the flag of the 163rd Infantry Division and my skis. When he arrived at the room he had chosen in advance,
not only were these two things taken over, but the weapons in the wooden box in the attic were also taken over and locked. Opening the door and closing the curtains, Wei Ran inspected the entire room carefully, and then set his sights on the floor.
Skis, military flags, submachine guns, and pistols were not many, but their origins were significant. There are all kinds of things, and the problem Wei Ran faces at this time is which thing he should use to get back to that battle.
The first thing to be eliminated is undoubtedly the Luger pistol. Can this thing be used? Putting aside sending himself back to that battle, it would be great fun if he was sent back to the first one.
After ruling out one option, Wei Ran thought for a moment and then sent in his skis. I went to the bathroom. If this thing belongs to the Finnish army, I have a standard Asian appearance. The key isIf you don't know Finnish, wouldn't it be better to rush to death?
"The division commander shouldn't be carrying a submachine gun with him, right?"
Wei Ran picked up the PPD40, looked it over and over, and finally sent it into the bathroom. If the toy is the weapon of the division commander's guard, maybe his mission will become a fatal outcome such as buying time for the division commander to cut off his retreat. By then, I'm afraid I won't even know where the division commander has gone.
So, the only thing left is the Nagant revolver and the military flag? Wei Ran frowned and sat cross-legged on the stall, looking at the only two things left in front of him.
Can these two be drawn in a notebook? Also, can you put those weapons in the bathroom into your laptop?
Wei Ran hesitated for a long time and finally did not dare to try. The experience of being sent back to the Cold War last time was still fresh in his mind. He did not want to put a gun into a notebook, only to be sent back to a certain place with those weapons. A battlefield.
"Since we can't find any useful clues, and there is nothing to prepare now, let's try..." Wei Ran looked at the only two things left on the floor, hesitated for a moment and then summoned That magical cowhide notebook came out.
