Chapter 326 The aria that echoes across the battlefield

While waiting for the return of the political commissar Sergey, Wei Ran got an oil drum from the young soldier Boris that did not smell of fuel at all, and then walked away alone, hiding under a star that was strong enough to kill He completely blocked the back of the oak tree, poured all the bucket of vodka he had brought in, and filled up his own water bottle.

He put the empty oil barrel back into the metal book, and placed the oil barrel filled with vodka on the branch of the oak tree.

After returning to the trench, he found Boris who was still waiting for him. Wei Ran took him to find the location of the oak tree again and said, "Boris, do me a favor and wait for me and Daniela." After departure, come here and hand the oil barrel on the oak tree to Captain Valentin. Remember, it must be done after Daniela and I have departed."

Boris. He looked up at the looming oil drum on the oak tree, then at Wei Ran, and finally nodded, "I...I will help you deliver the oil drum to Company Commander Valentin on time."

After a while, political commissar Sergei had brought an artillery observer. The observer had a Bobosha submachine gun slung over his shoulder and a radio with a waterproof canvas cover on his back.

Postman Revry also received a Bobosha submachine gun and several magazines. He even had a canvas ammunition bag containing two lemon grenades on his belt. As for Nurse Llano, she now also had a Mosin-Nagant rifle with a scope in her hand.

Based on this alone, we know that Company Commander Valentin and Political Commissar Sergei have agreed to her and Danila's request.

"Let me introduce you."

Commissar Sergei said concisely and concisely, "This is Andrei, the artillery observer who is working with you. In addition to leading the When Andre finds the German artillery position, he is also responsible for protecting his safety."

At this point, Political Commissar Sergey paused and added, "After completing the mission, you guys. Just lurk nearby and continue to observe the German positions until...I receive the order to retreat."

"Comrade Political Commissar, what about me?"

Wei Ran asked. He said that one of his return missions was to assist Lano in completing the cover mission. As for what the cover mission was, he did not know, but he knew that he still had the mission of sniping and killing at least 10 German soldiers.

Commissar Sergei glanced at Wei Ran, sighed and waved his hand, "Comrade reporter, please make sure you are back alive. There are still soldiers in our position waiting to be interviewed by you."

"There is also vodka, I will wait for you to fulfill your promise when you come back."

Valentin next to him reminded, while speaking, he personally distributed a bulging sack to everyone bag and a helmet wrapped in canvas. In addition, they each got a new cloak, and Wei Ran also got a new cloak with the post.Like Chalefri, he received a Bobosha submachine gun and matching ammunition.

"Give me some extra rifle bullets!" Wei Ran made his request after putting on the equipment he received.

Hearing this, Valentin immediately took out an ammunition bag filled with rifle bullets from an ammunition box not far away and handed it over.

Putting the ammunition in his pocket, Wei Ran raised his camera and took a photo of the postman Reveli, then handed the phone to the company commander Valentin, "Take a group photo for us. ”

Valentin nodded when he heard this, and handed the camera to the soldier Boris who had been standing not far away. Then, together with the political commissar Sergey, he called on everyone to stand in a row and take pictures. took a group photo.

“Okay, it’s time for us to set off.” Sniper Danila, who had never had much communication with Weiran, urged, “If it’s a little later and the fog dissipates, we’ll have to wait until night. ”

“Right away!”

Wei Ran quickly took out the film from the camera and stuffed it together with the films he had taken in the past few days and his backpack. Captain Valentin then said while loading the last reserved film into the camera, "When I come back, I will exchange these things for vodka."

"I will wait for you to come back and exchange these things." Valentin took Wei Ran's satchel, and then raised his hands in a military salute with political commissar Sergey.

Everyone hurriedly returned the salute, and then, led by the postman Revry, they ran along the trenches towards the contaminated water source.

"Revli, are you sure you can get around this place?" Danila asked in a low voice, "When I came back, the Germans were already searching for me, and..."

"Don't worry, there are only five of us, they can't catch us," Revry answered confidently, then motioned for everyone to keep quiet and followed him to the end of the trench.

Looking at the pond in the distance that was shrouded in mist and exuded a fishy smell, Revry carefully climbed out of the trench, and then waved for everyone to follow.

The group followed the other party and climbed out of the trench, crawling along the edge of the pond, moving away from the position behind them little by little in the thick fog.

In the trenches, the soldier Boris also delivered most of the barrel of vodka to Valentin in accordance with the agreement with Wei Ran.

"It seems that our journalist comrades have no plans to come back." Political Commissar Sergey sighed, and the smell of alcohol wafting from the oil drums lost its appeal.

"Sergey, are you and Tonya really not friends?" Captain Valentin asked, lighting a cigarette.

“We are classmates”

Commissar Sergei took out the group photo, pointed to the crossed out names on the back and said, “We are still members of the same choir. , but look, I may be the only one who can continue singing now. Some of the others are dead, some are injured like Tonya, and others...I don't know where they went either. "

"Sergey"

Company Commander Valentin flicked away the cigarette he had taken two puffs on, and said with a smile on his face, "Sing a song, use us How about singing a song on the speaker, just the song you usually hum? "

"Aria? "

Commissar Sergei hesitated for a moment, looked up at the direction where Wei Ran and others disappeared, then turned to look at the direction of the first aid station behind the position, and then stood up, "Then sing a song " The aria from Rigoletto! ”

Soon, the loudspeaker in the center of the position rang out the loud singing voice of political commissar Sergei. This song penetrated through the fog and reached the German position two hundred meters away. At this time, there was a A German soldier climbed onto a wooden pole to repair the horn that suddenly broke down two days ago.

However, after hearing the singing from the other side, he immediately cut off the tail of the horn with the small pliers in his hand. He picked up a few wires, and then shouted down, "Our speaker is broken, we may need to replace it with a new one, go and talk to the quartermaster!" "

"Are all three speakers broken? "A chain dog under the wooden pole raised his neck and asked.

The German soldier on the wooden pole cut the wires of the other two speakers at the same time and responded, "It may be caused by the rain these days. There was a short circuit and everything was broken. ”

While the chained dog under the wooden pole was cursing secretly, in the first aid station behind the Soviet position, Tonya, whose neck and face were wrapped in gauze, also followed Commissar Sergei’s singing silently. humming, and at the same time remembering the promise we made with our friends in the choir.

“After the war is over, we must go on the stage of the Bolshoi Petrov Theater to sing the complete "Rigoletto." 》. So until the war is over, everyone must work hard to survive and practice their voices well. Finally, when the time comes, we will compete on the stage to see which bastard has the most medals on his chest! "

"Another agreement is that we all go to the front line to fight the Germans, and no one is allowed to hide in the military band and wait to die. "

"How about we all hide the secret that we are members of the choir? ”

“Then it’s decided! "

"Then it's decided..."

Tonya, who was lying on the hospital bed, muttered silently, briefly looked at his fractured thigh, and then He closed his eyes calmly and silently connected with the voice he was responsible for.

“Is it the artist singing? Daniela murmured in a low voice, "I didn't even see him when I came back." "

Nurse Lanuo opened her mouth to say something, but Wei Ran, who was crawling side by side on the other side of Danila, rushed to say, "It's him. He taught us how to sing in the morning. "

"He shouldn't be here" Daniela sighed, then closed her mouth, silently followed the postman Reverie directly in front, and continued to hide behind the bushes by the lake. Progress little by little

Zai Lei.Under the leadership of Fuli, a group of five people circled most of the circle around the smelly pond, then got into a thick patch of grass, and continued to move forward slowly in a line.

At the most dangerous time, they could even hear the voices of Germans talking on the other side of the thick fog, and smell the aroma of coffee and even broth wafting from the German positions.

At this time, everyone remained absolutely quiet, and every movement was as slow as a frozen lizard.

Carefully walking through the grass, Revli at the front did not get up at all, and led the people behind him to continue moving forward along a canal that was at most half a meter deep and one meter wide.

At the end of this canal is a small apple orchard, but the apples on the trees have long been picked clean by the nearby Germans. Even the wooden houses on the side of the apple orchard, It was also burned to ashes. There were five stinking corpses hanging on one of the apple trees.

Among these corpses were two old men, two young men, and a little boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old at most.

Revely glanced at the body hanging on the tree, paused for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, and led everyone to bend down through the apple orchard and into a small patch of white birch next to it. Linli.

"It's safe for the time being"

Reveli whispered, and then called Wei Ran and others to come over and explained, "Next, we only need to pass through the two Germans. You can get around it with machine gun fire, but you have to wait until night." "Revri, this direction seems to be opposite to the direction I want to go," Danila, who had endured the whole journey, reminded. road.

"Don't worry"

Revli said confidently, "As long as we bypass these two fire points, the back will be much safer, and I can even borrow a horse-drawn sledge to take us with us. Let you go where you want to go."

"Can we destroy these two firepower points?" Nurse Lano asked in a low voice.

"No" Revery and artillery observer Andre gave a negative answer at the same time.

“It’s easy to kill them,” Revli said, shaking the submachine gun in his hand. “There are only five or six people in those two firepower points, but if we kill them, we won’t be able to attack them.” Back here."

Nurse Lano nodded awkwardly, "I didn't expect this."

"Okay, let's keep our voices down."

Revry finally whispered, "Although no Germans come here usually, if we encounter a patrol, we won't be able to run away. Now I will hide everyone with fallen leaves and wait until night , let’s continue setting off.”

Although Danila was impatient, she also knew that she had to be calmer at this time, so she simply followed Reveli’s arrangement.

Speaking of which, this young postman is quite smart. He actually found a tree hole for Daniela and Nurse Lano where brown bears hibernate. After letting the two of them go in, they carefully used it.Fallen leaves blocked the hole, which was only the size of a car tire, and then placed Andre in a depression wrapped in a bush. He and Wei Yan hid on Andre's left and right sides respectively, leaving The three of them were hiding in the thick leaves with their feet facing each other at an angle similar to the Mercedes-Benz logo.
