Chapter 548: Go Alone
The gunfire gradually stopped, and there was movement outside from time to time, but the cellar was not opened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a long wait, I don't know how long I waited, the sound outside finally disappeared, and Cheng Qianxun and they slowly pushed the wooden planks of the cellar up tentatively.
It was getting dark, and the ground was full of corpses. The huts had burned and were burning, and the dogs and sleds were gone. From all this it seems, the partisans failed. Thankfully, the supplies on the sleigh, as well as most of the partisans' stuff, were in the cellars.
The wounded man covered the wound on his stomach that had not yet healed, slowly climbed up from the cellar, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
Cheng Qianxun sighed slightly: "Go down and get three shovels up and bury these corpses." ”
said that it was buried, but it was just a comfort. The corpse was moved by Gordon and Rudolph into the woods a little further away, and Gordon may have begun to get used to the corpse, sometimes turning around and snorting a few nausearies, but still clutching the stiff corpse hand and foot.
Cheng Qianxun peeled off all the bloody cotton clothes and hats on their bodies, and then used a shovel to make some snow to cover the matter. Even if the pit is dug and buried, it will be dug up again by the hungry wolf, unless it is buried deeply. But who will dig up the frozen soil at this time?
After the body was disposed of, the three of them carried all the cotton clothes, pants and hats to the cellar and threw them in.
Descending from the cellar, the three of them took turns shaking the hand-cranked generator, lighting and charging at the same time. Others cleaned the floor, put cotton clothes on mats, opened cans, and so on.
Rudolph used a knife to pry open a can of meat and handed it to Cheng Qianxun, while she handed it to the wounded man.
After hesitating for a moment, she still said to the wounded: "We plan to leave, we will only take some of the food, and most of it will be left for you." ”
The wounded man was digging with a spoon to eat, and when he heard this, he paused slightly and continued to eat.
Cheng Qianxun also continued: "After you recover from your injuries, don't look for any guerrillas, just find a way to survive." In a few years, the war will definitely end, and then someone who needs you more will be waiting for you somewhere. ”
The other party put down his hand again, lowered his head and looked at the half-eaten can for a long time, and then ate it violently.
After eating, everyone lay on the bloodstained cotton clothes, and the light in the middle was still on. Finally waited until the battery ran out and the lights went out.
On December 8, there was no snow. Cheng Qianxun and the three got up early, and then went to find a tree, cut it down and made sleds and snowboards. Things are placed on the sled, and three people can drag them together to save a little effort. The next road, without dogs, will require manpower.
Gordon sawed with a saw, and when a piece of wood was sawed off, he muttered a little dissatisfied: "Are we really leaving, we can stay, and when there is no danger, I'll take you to the United States with me." ”
This lazy and hard-working guy, Cheng Qianxun thought about it, walked over, and said softly: "If you don't go, I'll go." Think about it, what will happen if the Germans come back and find that someone is staying in the place where the partisans were originally located? ”
When Gordon heard this, he immediately stopped ringing, picked up the saw and sawed more diligently than before.
It took a day to get the sledding ready, and when I saw that it wasn't early, I wanted to stay and set off the next day.
That night, the four of them lay down, staring blankly at one place, each thinking about their own thoughts, and none of them spoke. It doesn't seem like there's anything to say, what's the point of knowing too much, maybe tomorrow you'll see a corpse.
It was dawn again, and everything was loaded up in the morning. Because there are enough canned food, I brought enough to eat for ten days, and the rest of the venison was added to save some food, and I could eat it until the beginning of spring.
Cheng Qianxun and Rudolph helped the wounded change the medicine for the last time, and the wounded said "thank you", and Rudolph patted him on the shoulder and stood up. He put the medicine and the replacement gauze where he could reach and said goodbye.
Pull the sleigh and walk forward step by step. Wait until you're going downhill to put on your skis, otherwise the two long logs will get in the way.
Cheng Qianxun looked back, the wounded man walked up the ladder with his body propped up, and he was showing half of his body to watch them, he was really fateful!
Not far from the side was the place where the corpse was thrown, Cheng Qianxun only glanced at it, and sure enough, the corpse had been dug out and pulled apart. Anyone can end up like this, they are numb and don't feel anything.
Without dogs, it's just different. The snow is so deep that it takes a lot of effort to reach your knees, and it takes a lot of effort to take a step. After only half an hour or so, I felt tired.
"Stop!" Rudolph shouted, and everyone stopped. Gordon immediately sat down on the sleigh, but it wasn't just him, everyone was tired.
Rudolph looked at the sky and then looked around: "Yes, there should be a big road ahead." ”
You can only walk on the main road, and the more vehicles come and go on that road, the less snow there is, and it will be more convenient to walk. I don't care about being checked by the German army, I know after experiencing it once, even if the materials on the sled are "requisitioned", I will get some benefits. It is possible to catch a ride, the wheels of the truck only turn for one day, and it may take three or four days to walk on two legs.
After a long walk from morning to noon, we finally arrived at the main road. At that time, the two trucks that had been attacked were still there, including the charred one, which was left in place and covered with snow, and only the bodies were gone.
The three of them were also tired and sat on the sleigh panting. Take a break, eat something, and then head to go.
Gordon was eating compressed biscuits while looking at the two cars, and suddenly said, "I don't know if there is a spare tire." ”
Rudolph and Cheng Qianxun's eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at each other.
"This wheel is ok!" Rudolph rolls over a tire with a slightly blackened top, while Gordon replaces the punctured truck tire with a spare tire.
"Damn it, come down, get down!" Gordon took the chisel and hammered it hard.
After the tires were loaded, Gordon went to the cab, pulled the handlebars, and even the doors came down.
"It's really a broken car." Gordon cursed, and when he went up, he shouted, "Damn, where's the engine key?" How do I open it without a key? ”
"No hurry!" Rudolph, who was baking the car on a low fire in the back, got rid of all the branches that were still burning with a long chisel and then entered the cab. After a few clicks, he pulled out the power cord, and the two wires skillfully matched, and the sound of the engine was immediately heard.
Gordon looked at him with admiration: "Why do you have this hand?" ”
Rudolph laughed: "I'm not a lieutenant for nothing, of course I have to be second-hand." ”
Hurriedly lifted the sled into the car, Rudolph looked at the supplies in the back, Cheng Qianxun sat in the passenger seat, and then the car drove away. Now it's okay, you can walk a lot less.
The car was driving, but it was also terrified, pointing out that there was a mine buried in the ground, and a group of guerrillas or resistance groups threw grenades or shot at the car.
In the afternoon, the car finally reached the legendary end. There was a checkpoint at the entrance, a mast was stopped, and when the car stopped, a German soldier greeted him: "Please show your ID." ”
Cheng Qianxun took out three documents and handed them over: "We are medical workers, ready to go to the front." ”
"The troops in Tuan have retreated to their original defensive lines, and the journey has been shortened from three days to one day." The other party opened the documents and compared them to the people one by one, and went to the back compartment to look.
After it was confirmed, he walked to the front and returned the document to Cheng Qianxun: "It's okay." ”
The car drove in, it was a very small town, only one house was still intact, and the rest was so damaged that it was even in ruins.
After getting out of the car, Cheng Qianxun saw that the eight sled dogs were tied in one place, and he couldn't help but be happy. The Germans must have exterminated the partisans and brought the dogs here.
The soldier standing at the door shouted: "Those who have arrived, go inside and register." ”
Looking at the documents, and standing at the desk, the three people who were obviously from different countries, some men and women, some tall and some short. The captain in charge of the registration looked around at them suspiciously: "I didn't receive any orders that you would come. ”
Cheng Qianxun hurriedly explained: "We came here voluntarily. ”
Rudolph immediately reported the names of Snead and Regel and their troops, saying that they knew and agreed.
The captain let go of a notebook and began to search for each item, and after turning a few pages, he found Snead and Regel who had passed by here a few days earlier. He closed his notebook: "Well, there is. But it seems that you are going alone, and no troops will come in the next few days. ”
The Germans had already begun to retreat, which meant the beginning of the Soviet counteroffensive. Don't say that these days, maybe no more troops will come, and the Germans will be defeated and retreated until the end of this battle next year.
"Then we'll go by ourselves!" Cheng Qianxun replied firmly.
The captain flipped through the book very casually: "As an outsider, you may not be able to get military supplies, no problem, right?" ”
"No problem!" Cheng Qianxun responded again, and she suddenly asked: "Then the eight dogs outside should not be considered military dogs, can you give them to me?" ”
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that it was seized, and I was thinking about how to deal with it, since you want it, I will give it to you." ”
So refreshing, Cheng Qianxun was not greedy enough and immediately asked again: "How much else to give, after all, we also have to eat, canned food, frozen raw meat is fine, it is better to have a little wine." ”
"We can't give this, and we have very little." The captain refused.
Then in another way, Cheng Qianxun asked: "Is there alcohol, after all, we drove a usable truck, and there is a lot of gasoline in it." ”
The captain sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth: "That's military supplies, even if they are given to you, you can't drive away, and the road ahead is blocked by snow, unless you have the ability to shovel snow yourself." ”
"Let's get some wine or alcohol." Cheng Qianxun begged in a consultative tone: "A little bit is fine, otherwise if we encounter the wounded, how can we save them?" ”
The expression on the captain's face was clearly a joke on her innocence: "Wounded? Now the temperature in front of me, I don't need to fight to freeze to death. There is also a death order from above, you must stick to it, if you go over, you can save your own fate. (To be continued.) )
