Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by German soldiers several times his own size, Wei Ran looked around, took advantage of the cover of his hiding spot and retreated a few meters, and then crawled to another tree through a naturally formed depression. Behind the tree pine.
Putting the semi-automatic rifle back into its metal book, Wei Ran took off the submachine gun on his shoulder, leaned out from behind the pine tree, pointed at the soldiers who were still firing at their previous hiding spot, and pulled the trigger.
This intensive firepower, which was different from the rifle, not only swept up the two German soldiers, but also attracted most of the firepower, and the remaining half subconsciously fell to the ground or Hide behind the pine tree.
Taking this rare opportunity, Danila dragged the panicked Nurse Lano down, quickly changed her position, and then opened fire one after another, knocking down two people who were suppressing Wei Ran. German soldier.
But even though they cooperated with each other like this, the remaining enemies quickly divided into two groups, each hiding behind the pine trees. For a while, Wei Ran and the other three couldn't find anyone to fire at. Chance.
At this point, the exchange of fire between the two sides has also entered a stalemate stage, but this is not a good thing for Wei Ran and others. Once the delay is too long and the other party receives reinforcements, they will not be able to hold on at all. how long.
However, at the edge of the battlefield that the three of them could not see, Revry and the artillery observer Andre, who had already left, circled back to the battlefield.
"Andre, if we rush over and throw a few grenades, we will definitely help them!" Revry whispered.
"How many people can be killed with a grenade?"
Andre handed the binoculars to the former, raised his finger and pointed in the direction and said, "I saw those two half-track motorcycles. Let's go over there and use the machine guns on them to suppress the Germans."
Reverie glanced at the two men who were still charging through the forest carrying corpses, and then looked at the front. The two German soldiers chasing the two motorcycles returned the binoculars to Andre and ran forward.
"Wait a minute"
Andre grabbed Reveli, "Don't worry, let the two German guys catch up with the motorcycle first, and wait for them to open fire." Turn your back to us, it will be much safer for us to go there then."
"But..."
"Danila and the others are not fools"
Andre didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before continuing, "There are only two German soldiers, and they are each chasing a motorcycle. So don't worry, they can only fire where they are, and it is impossible to drive the motorcycle back to the battlefield. ”
Just as Andre predicted, in less than two minutes, the two German soldiers had already caught up with the motorcycle running uncontrollably on the edge of the battlefield.
After the two of them pushed the body of their companion aside, they directly controlled the machine gun mounted on the spot and began to suppress the hiding spots of Wei Ran, Danila and others.
The firepower, which was more ferocious than a submachine gun, immediately put the three guards in a difficult situation.It was even more dangerous, and with the suppression of these two machine guns, the remaining German soldiers were able to come out of their hiding spots and quickly close the distance between the two sides.
Seeing this, Andre immediately took off the radio he had been carrying on his shoulder, picked up the submachine gun and rushed towards the two half-track motorcycles with Reverie.
Thanks to the huge noise cover when the machine gun fired, the two of them were less than 10 meters away from the two soldiers manipulating the machine gun, and the other party still did not notice them.
Without any hesitation, Andre raised the submachine gun in his hand and fired two bursts, easily eliminating the two machine gunners.
The moment the machine gun fire stopped, the German soldiers who were only fifty or sixty meters away from Wei Ran and others immediately hid behind the pine trees. Some soldiers even pulled out the wooden handles attached to their belts. Grenade.
However, when Revry and Andre stepped on the bodies of the German soldiers, jumped onto the half-track motorcycle, and pulled the triggers of the two machine guns one after another, dense bullets immediately fell from the bodies of these German soldiers. It penetrated their bodies from the side, then rolled out of their bodies and dug into the trunk of the pine tree where they were hiding.
Wei Ran and Danila, who were always paying attention to the battlefield, felt the pressure drop suddenly. They immediately emerged from their hiding spots, rounded their arms and each threw a morning bomb in the distance. Just ready lemon grenades!
"Boom!"
After two explosions that were almost close to each other, the German soldiers who had almost surrounded them just now changed roles and became the surrounded party.
After Wei Ran, Danila and Nurse Lano, with the help of Reveli and Andre, eliminated the last two German soldiers, the two parties finally gathered together again.
Danila asked complainingly while loading the semi-automatic rifle in her hand, "Didn't I tell you to run away quickly? Why are you back again?"
"You won't come back if we don't I'm about to be caught by the Germans. Who will protect me then?"
Andre responded naturally, "Besides, it's just the three of you without our help. Do you think we can deal with so many Germans?"
Nurse Lano waved her hand, "Stop talking about this now, we'd better get out of here quickly."
"Get them first. Put your weapons away, it won't take long." Postman Refri said quickly, "There are so many weapons that may be used in the future."
"Hurry up!" , had bent down and removed an MP40 submachine gun from a German corpse.
"Revli, where is our horse-drawn sledge?" Wei Ran asked while picking weapons and ammunition from a corpse.
"I tied it far away, let's bring it back now!" Revry said, slinging a Mauser rifle with remaining blood stains on his shoulder and running away. No more shadow.
“Speaking of where did these Germans come from?” Danila asked.He muttered while gathering the captured weapons.
“It doesn’t matter where it comes from”
Nurse Lano said while taking off the kettle from the belt of a German corpse, “What’s more important now is that we How to escape their pursuit? This is surrounded by German territory.”
“I’ll worry about this later. I’ll carry the radio back first.” Andre said. Then he walked towards the hiding spot in the distance.
After the three guardsmen collected all the weapons, ammunition, food and drink from the corpses of the German soldiers around them, Revry also shouted and ran back with the horse-drawn sledge.
"What to do with the two half-track motorcycles?" Andre asked after putting an MG34 general-purpose machine gun with residual blood stains on the sledge.
"Find a place to hide it, or blow it up directly." Danila said without thinking, "Of course, you can also hide it and hide a grenade inside."
"Then hide it and put a few grenades in it."
While Andre spoke, he had skillfully opened the engine hood and put out a few wooden handle grenades that had been seized not long ago. Stuffed it everywhere, and then carefully tied the fuse of one of the grenades to the transmission belt.
Danila followed suit. After the two set up the booby traps, they immediately got on the sledge and climbed over the distant slope as quickly as possible to escape the scene of the firefight.
We carefully climbed over the slope and passed through dense bushes. When an open space of only five or six hundred square meters suddenly appeared directly in front of us, there was also a sound from behind a pine tree not far away. A woman's familiarity.
"Revli, it's me, Yuna! Don't shoot, I'm coming out!"
"Come out! We have put down the guns." Reif At the same time as Li responded, he quickly shouted to the draft horse to stop.
Almost immediately, a girl who had been rescued in the mine walked out from behind a thick pine tree.
This girl's dress is quite interesting. She is wearing a set of loose clothes, a German helmet on her head, and what she holds in her hand is a Bobosha submachine gun.
“Why are you here?”
Revli asked in confusion, “Where is Mitya? And Gioia, is he back?”
"Mi Jia is taking care of Qiao Ma. He is injured." The girl named Yuna pointed to the forest clearing behind her worriedly. "Qiao Ma was shot. He escaped last night."
p>"Let's go take a look!" After Refri said that, he immediately shook the reins and controlled the sledge to run the last few dozen meters.
In the center of this small open space, there is a semi-underground shack built with logs. The area of this shack is larger than what Wei Ran and others saw when they first met Qiao Ya. That one was slightly larger, and there was even a small window on the roof, and the sunlight from above happened to shine on this window, which was less than one meter square.
Everyone rushed into the shack that was warmed and bright by the sun, and immediately saw Qiao Ya lying on the wooden bed, while another girl, Mi Jia, was half-kneeling by the bed, wiping Qiao Ya's face with a wet towel. Forehead and palms.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, the girl named Mi Jia took the initiative and said, "He was shot in the thigh and had a fever this morning."
Wei Ran came over. He untied the coarse cloth that wrapped the wound, and then breathed a sigh of relief. There was already some redness and swelling around the charred bullet hole, and the black blood around the bullet hole also flowed extremely slowly.
"The bullet should still be inside," Nurse Lano said at the side, "It should have become inflamed."
"Indeed" Wei Ran nodded, "Show me your medical bag Look."
Hearing this, Lano immediately took off the medical bag on his shoulder and opened it. Although there were not many instruments and medicines in the medical bag, it was barely enough to support this minor operation.
Without wasting time, Nurse Wei Ran and Lanuo asked the irrelevant people out of the shack, and then worked together to open the wound on Qiao Ya's thigh, successfully completing this small operation, which was not a big one. .
After carefully suturing the wound, Wei Ran found an excuse to push Nurse Lano away to get his backpack from the sledge. He quickly took out the medical kit in the metal book and took some penicillin and morphine. He put it in his pocket and immediately took back the medical kit.
After giving Qiao Ya a shot of penicillin, Wei Ran put away the injection bottle and completed the final bandaging work leisurely.
Before Lano came back, Wei Ran picked up the bullet he had taken out from Gioya's wound not long ago and looked at it carefully through the sunlight shining from the window above his head.
Although the front half of this bullet has been deformed, it can still be vaguely identified as a 9mm pistol bullet through the tail of the rear half.
The biggest suspect for firing this bullet is undoubtedly the MP40 submachine gun equipped by German soldiers. In other words, Gioia also encountered German soldiers in the past few days? So the patrol they just encountered was actually here to chase Gioia?
After thinking for a moment, Wei Ran took the bullet and left the shack, and went to the girl named Yuna to inquire carefully.
It was through Yuna that everyone knew that after they separated from Gioia, the latter not only led the two girls to ambush the German patrol with a beast trap, but also led them to Wrong direction.
No wonder they didn’t encounter a patrol when they ambush the German artillery position for so long. It turned out that Gioia helped them attract the firepower! Wei Ran and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. If it weren't for Gioia, they might not have had time to call for artillery, and they would have been chased by German patrols like rabbits all over the mountains and plains, busy escaping for their lives.
According to another girl, Mi Jia, Gioia once told what happened to him after he came back. After he led the German patrol deep into the forest, he planned to come back, but unexpectedly encountered a Lost German patrolsoldiers.
The gunshot wound on his leg was caused by the German soldier using a submachine gun in a panic. Correspondingly, Gioia also used the Bobosha sent to him by Wei Ran to kill the soldier. In Mijia's words, Gioia has been showing off this thing since he came back with a gunshot wound.
"I'm afraid we have to change places," Danila and Wei Ran said almost in no particular order.
"We really need to change places." Artillery observer Andre nodded in agreement, "I just wiped out one of their patrols. I'm afraid other Germans will catch up soon."< /p>
"But where are we going to escape?" the girl named Yuna asked blankly.
"Of course there is a place to escape."
Revely gave the answer confidently. Seeing everyone looking at him, he immediately explained, "This kind of shack, There are at least a dozen of them in this forest. They were all built by forest rangers and hunters. As long as Joya wakes up, he will definitely take us to a more secluded place."
"Don't you. Do you know?" the girl named Mi Jia asked.
"I'm not Gioia"
Revely spread his hands, "Gioia knows every tree in this forest, but I can't. I can only help him when he makes up for it." They will come over to eat meat when they find prey, and help him sell the hides. "So the only problem now is how to get rid of the German patrol behind him?" Daniella said and looked at Andre.
The latter thought for a while and said helplessly, "The best way I can think of is to find an excuse to ask the artillery on our position to loosen the soil around here, or simply fire a round of incendiary bombs. "
"That will burn us to death too"
Danila shook her head helplessly, then turned to Revry and asked, "Is there a river near here for us? We need to find a river to cover up our traces and smell."
"There is a creek more than a hundred meters away." Reveli gestured with his hands, "But it is only so wide."
p>“That’s not enough”
Danila shook her head, “Well, let’s leave here now, and by the way, plant some accompanying mines around here, and when Gioia wakes up, ask Is there anything he can do?"
After hearing this, Revry and Andre immediately got into the shack, took out Gioia, who had not yet regained consciousness, and prepared to put him on the sledge.
“You can’t use the sledge.”
Wei Ran, who had been silent just now, said, “The traces it left are too obvious. I suspect that the patrol we just encountered was He followed the mark left by Gioia's sledge."
"Use a stretcher?" Seeing Wei Ran's nod, Revry immediately signaled Andre to help Gioia. He temporarily put it on the sledge while he got back into the shack. Soon he came out with an ax and went straight into the forest.
While Reveli was making the stretcher, Wei Ran and others, with the help of the two girls, picked and packed some things that seemed to be useful.Bundles were tied to the horse's back, and a large number of accompanying mines were deployed inside and outside the shack using the grenades they had just captured.
After they finished all this, Refri also made a stretcher with two wooden sticks, hemp rope and a blanket. The two girls also took the initiative to carry the stretcher.
Under the leadership of Revli, everyone led the heavy draft horses and the round-bellied female donkey and continued to move deeper into the forest.
At the end of the team, Wei Ran and Danila, who was once a hunter, each relied on their own skills to clean up the traces left by their journey.
"Victor, where did you learn this?" Daniella asked while scattering a few fallen leaves on the bushes she passed.
"I learned it from a forest farm," Wei Ran said nonchalantly, "I used to be a veterinarian at that forest farm."
"I used to be a hunter"
Danila sighed with nostalgia, "My favorite thing to do in the past was to go looking for hibernating brown bears with Lano in the winter. Those big, meaty guys not only provided expensive bear skins, but also The fat can also be sold at a high price, and even the bear meat will not be wasted. The meat of one bear is enough to feed my family and my family for a week."
"Why are you thinking about joining the army? "Wei Ran asked without starting or ending.
"The conscripts passed by my door that day, and then I participated."
Danila said matter-of-factly, "Why does such a thing need a reason?"
p>
"Rano must have a reason to join the army, right?" Wei Ran asked without raising his head, as if all his attention was focused on eliminating the traces left by everyone.
"She never received my letters, so she signed up for nursing school, and after a few months of training, she was sent to the battlefield."
Danila Sighing, "I didn't expect to meet Lano here, and I didn't expect that this stupid girl would come to me on the front line."
"She can be assigned to a place near you from the nurse training school. It must have taken a lot of effort and hard work."
As he spoke, Wei Ran put a lump of donkey dung eggs into a sack and covered the conspicuous horse hoof prints with a handful of fallen leaves.
"Just like this time she insisted on following me to death." Daniela shook her head helplessly, "She can always convince others easily, and she will not be convinced by anyone easily."
p>Wei Ran said with half ridicule and half blessing, "I can predict that you will definitely be very happy in your future life."
"Survive this mission first. Right?"
Danila stood up after saying this, lifted a corner of her cloak, showed a sunflower-shaped gold brooch pinned to the inside, and whispered, "This is me The wedding gift I prepared for her, if she survives this time, I will definitely put it on for her during our wedding. If you are also alive, you must take a photo for me.”
"no problem! " Wei Ran was stunned for a moment after seeing the brooch, and then made a promise, "I'll help you publish that photo in the newspaper, no problem! ”
“Then it’s settled! "After showing off the brooch, Daniela quickly refastened the buttons on her cloak, and while cleaning up the traces, she moved the topic to other places.
During the chat between the two, everyone walked away more and more. Far away, when the sun set and the fog enveloped the forest again, Gioia finally woke up while lying on the stretcher, and successfully helped them point out the location of the nearest hunter's cabin.
Only. However, before the postman Leifli, who was walking at the front, could change his direction, Andre, who had already turned on the radio as the sun set, suddenly stopped everyone, and at the same time, his face showed an incredible sluggishness. Color.
“What’s wrong? "Danila asked nervously.
"The news coming back from our positions is that the Germans may have added more artillery positions than the one we blew up in the morning," Andre said tremblingly. “Just before dark another section of our position was blown up by German artillery. "
"Which position? " Nurse Lano and Revry asked in unison.
"It is not the position that Valentin is in charge of, it is the position that is in charge of their right, the 673rd Regiment."
Andre swallowed He spat and continued with a pale face, "Almost more than two hundred meters of trenches have been blown up, and now the Germans have launched an attack there. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then tensed up their nerves.
It is undeniable that people are selfish, and Company Commander Valentin is responsible for the position There were too many people they were familiar with, and it was good news that the position where these people were located had not been bombarded. But once the position that was bombarded by German artillery was completely torn apart and collapsed, there would be more people they cared about. To bear the pain of war
“Andre, what can we do? "Dannila asked in a firm tone. Even Nurse Lano, who was leaning in his arms, sat up straight and picked up the sniper rifle next to her again.
"Looking for other German artillery positions"
After turning off the radio, Andre said decisively, "The Germans picked a good time. The fog is so heavy now. If we want to find their artillery positions, we may have to rely on us. "
As he spoke, Andre opened the map he carried with him. After searching it with a pencil, he circled an area and said, "Based on the preliminary observations and calculations in the position book. , the German position should be in this area. ”
“Where are we now? "Wei Ran was the first to ask.
Hearing this, everyone, including Andre, turned their attention to the postman Reverie.
The latter came closer. He went to the map and looked at it. He took the pencil from Andre's hand, pointed at a location on the map and said with certainty, "Here, this is probably the location.". "
"It's not too far," Andre muttered, turning to look at Gioia, who was still lying on a stretcher not far away.
"Don't worry about us"< /p>
Gioya sat up with difficulty and said with a grin, "The Germans can't find us. It's not too far from the hunter's cabin. The three of us can't even walk there slowly." How much time. "
"We must set off quickly," Andre urged with a frown, "We must find their artillery position before dawn. "
"Lano, go with Joya, he needs to be taken care of. "Daniela said abruptly.
"Let the journalist comrade stay. "Nurse Lano said without thinking.
Gioia obviously didn't realize what it meant to stay to take care of herself, so she said without thinking, "No, I don't..."
Before he could finish his words, Reverie gently poked his arm to tell him to shut up.
“As Joya said, he doesn’t need to be taken care of. ”
Lano stood up as he spoke, took off the water bottle from his waist and took a sip of the vodka inside. Then he handed it to Daniella. While the other party took the water bottle, he turned to Ander. Lie said, "Okay, let's set off now. "
Andre sighed helplessly, "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the two of you, but you'd better decide as soon as possible. We don't have much time. ”
After saying that, Andre stood up quickly. After checking the direction with the compass on his wrist, he immediately took steps. Seeing this, Wei Ran patted Reveli. "I'm sorry, my friend," Refri said apologetically, "I have more important things to do now, and I can only rely on you and Yuna. As well as Mi Jia herself, I hope... you can survive. ”
“Go, go. "Gioia patted Reveli on the shoulder, "Bring the horse with you, you will definitely need it. That's enough for us. I hope you survive too. "
"If I can survive, I will go to the hunter's cabin you mentioned to find you." After Revery finished speaking, he stood up and untied the things from the draft horse, holding the reins and chasing after him. They got on Wei Ran who was about to walk into the fog and Andre who could no longer see his figure.
"Let's go too"
Lano looked at Danila. “We agreed before departure that if we survived, we would hold the wedding at Captain Valentin’s position; if we didn’t survive, we would at least die together. "
Danila sighed after a moment of silence, took Lano's hand and pulled him up, "Then let's live together, or die together.
