The next day

Skotnowski and Katyusha came to the hospital, which was full of wounded soldiers, and the corridors were filled with the suffocating smell of blood and formalin, which served as an embalming agent for corpses, and they came to Katyusha's cousin, who had been withdrawn from the front line with other wounded soldiers, and Katyusha was instructed by his adoptive father Tuzonev to come and take a look, but after asking the doctors and nurses for a long time, they all said that they did not know, so they had no choice but to go to the pile of wounded soldiers to inquire about the situation

"I've never seen Kovadia. Tuzonev? Was it the 77th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Local Army? After asking so many people, no one knew about him, which made Katyusha almost disappointed, and she didn't have much hope for the soldier in front of her, but he didn't think about it, but he was stunned, squinted his eyes and asked: "Tuzonev?" Was it the sniper of the 77th Infantry Regiment? Who are you? Is it his family? ”

"Yes, I'm his cousin, do you know him?" Katyusha said excitedly, but the man's face sank, and he replied hesitantly: "He... He and his unit were scattered in the retreat the day before, many of the troop formations were disrupted, I was the only one left in our regiment, I don't know about the other troops, I heard that their 77th Infantry Regiment was responsible for blocking and covering at the end of the bridge, but then it was almost blown into a depression, and not even a complete corpse could be found, let alone a living person, I didn't hear that they had withdrawn anyway, maybe he was still alive, maybe..."

The two walked side by side in the corridor of the hospital, and Katyusha suddenly said, "Peiji, can you not go, stay and retreat with us." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"No, I can't do that!" Skotnowski replied: "I was assigned to the combat company, where I can't do without me, besides, the military order is like a mountain, if I retreat from the battle, it will be done by military law, so I can't go with you, I'm sorry..."

"I'm going to my dad for help!" After Katyusha finished speaking, she ran away quickly, and Skotnowski hurriedly chased after her, but in the end she let her run, and she couldn't help but sigh heavily

...

A day later

Skotnowski and his comrades packed up their things and came to the training ground early, and after a while the other battalions also came here, but their brigade commander came before them, and now they were hiding and smoking, and the cold of the early morning made the metal on their bodies look like they were coated with super glue, and they couldn't break free when they grabbed it in their hands. After the personnel arrived, the brigade commander Knesin walked out slowly, and everyone immediately kept silent and looked at him quietly

"I'm not going to talk nonsense, has anyone forgotten anything? Ever forgot to call home? Perhaps, this will be the last time you will talk to your family, and you may not have the opportunity to do so in the future. ”

No one shook their heads or nodded, remained silent

"Okay, in that case, then... Get in the car! He waved his hand, and the regiments and battalions began to board the truck parked on the side in an orderly manner, Skotnowski sat in the middle one, he leaned on the tarpaulin car, the tarpaulin behind him seemed to be unable to stop the cold wind, the faint cold still penetrated into the car, blowing on the back of his neck and making him shiver

"Hell, did the guy who designed this get into the ice ballast? It's okay to make some bad climate change, complete idiot! The fat man sitting directly across from him holding a light machine gun complained dissatisfiedly, and one of the people next to him laughed and scolded: "So Cannock also thinks that the man has water in his brain, right, in that case, then ask Mr. Cannock to solve this complete problem for us?"

"You half-bitten canned luncheon meat!" He kicked over, and then the convoy slowly left, heading to the station, along the way with tens of thousands of Northwest Army, so it drove very slowly, Skotnowski kept dozing off with the barrel of his gun, and suddenly a veteran next to him touched him, leaned into his ear and said: "Comrade Peiji, there is a beautiful girl desperately calling your name behind the convoy, don't you go and see?"

"Katyusha?" He got up and was about to lift the curtain of the car, but after thinking about it, forget it, don't let her be sad for a lifetime because of the goodbye after seeing this side, he returned to his seat and sat up, and outside the car, with the farewell crowd Katyusha struggled to squeeze in the crowd alone, and when she saw one, she shouted a few times, and shouted for an hour, and all the participating troops left her before she collapsed to the ground in despair, letting the tears wash her cheeks...

...

"What? What do you mean, what didn't stop them, so they were out of the city? Damn it! Tuzonev pushed the soldier away and walked quickly to the phone and made a call to Moscow

"Hey, I'm the political commissar of the North-Western Front, Dimitri. Tuzonev, I would like to ask the Moscow side that you agree with Panzosko. Did Field Marshal Dreve launch an operation to reclaim the Sutton? ”

"No, Comrade Dimitri, we disagree."

"Well comrade, I'm going to report Panzosko. Marshal Dreve's mercenaries are self-respecting, and they have exceeded their authority and led their troops to meet the enemy without authorization, and they have caused serious consequences, and they are requested to be detained by the organizing committee for verification! ”

Even the person on the other end of the phone gasped at these words, and said solemnly: "Comrade Dimitri, do you know how big the following charges are for the crime of indiscriminate deduction and overstepping the whistle report? I also hope that you can think twice and don't just frame your superiors..."

"I'm telling the truth!" Tuzonev replied word for word: "I'm going to report Panzosko. Marshal Drev, who is suspected of overstepping his authority, hopes that the commission will investigate thoroughly! ”

...

Perhaps, only when people really smell death will the potential in their bodies burst out, will people feel the preciousness of life, the train has left Leningrad for more than two hours, this tunnel to Europe is full of abandoned tanks and artillery, apparently those soldiers threw away on the way to retreat, maybe they were chased all the way and forced them to lose their equipment, but what kind of enemy is so powerful, even the army of 600,000 could not resist being slaughtered, This can't help but make one wonder if Hades is really underground?

...

The train drove into the abandoned bridgehead fortress station as planned, the Sutton River defense line was originally used to defend against NATO Army Group, and now the super strong defense line on the westernmost side of the empire finally failed to hold it, but was still breached, the station was full of rubble, and the strong smell of rotting flesh was disgusting...

"Skovaki, take your men to the commanding heights over there and set up a firing point, Pezuno, you take your guard team to search this station, and the rest of the people are on guard and set off towards the central command post!" The brigade commander Knesin ordered, Skotnowski closed the gun safe, put his index finger on the trigger guard and led the soldiers all the way to the station hall, which was slightly better than the outside, but it was a one-sided mess, the dim electric lights flashed and made people uncomfortable, the trash cans that were kicked down, the banknotes thrown on the ground, and the cans and bottles piled up in a pile, all indicated that someone had just left from here, was it a friendly army, or was it those enemies who were super combat-ready? Everything is still unknown, and he can only continue to lead people forward, even if...

"Smack!"

Suddenly, the only electric light overhead exploded, and the fragments of glass fell to the ground with a bang, arousing the vigilance of the people around him

"Sir," one soldier suddenly asked, "who are we fighting now?" Rebels, or Gru's army? ”

"I don't know!" He turned on the tactical light on his gun and saw a soldier walking towards a pile of garbage, "Maybe it's the demon's army, or maybe it's... The rebels..."I saw that the soldier picked up a crystal bottle with exquisite workmanship, and wiped it with some greed, and Skotnowski saw that a thin thread was pulled out of the belly of the bottle, and several plastic bags were also hung on it, and he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly shouted: "Put down that thing!"

"Bang!"

A sudden explosion reached Knesin's ears, he immediately ordered the driver to stop the car, he stepped out of the car, looked at the station with fire, and frowned, feeling as if he had entered a trap, suddenly, a crisp gunshot rang out from a half-collapsed building in front of him, a bullet swished into his chest, and the huge inertia suddenly knocked him to the ground, and before the soldiers could react, a stormy attack sounded on the opposite building, A rocket roared into the convoy in Knesin...
