While Weiss rushed to the enemy's rear camp with a reserve of 100 men, the other fighters who served as the rear guard for the guerrilla advance continued to strangle the Norman marines in the woods without hurry. This crushing advantage was partly due to the "right time and place", in this foggy and smoke-filled environment, the Normans, who were small in number and still acting in groups, had to fight separately, only to be defeated by their opponents one by one. In addition, the melee level of this marine unit seems to be at least one grade lower than the Normans' regular field troops, and it is not comparable to those prestigious elite troops - think back to the Northern Frontier Battle, the Norman Army's Royal Marine Division created an invincible myth with one as ten, and then the Norman army entered the Ulster border, and repeatedly used the three-dimensional tactics of ground advance and joint airborne assault, destroying the city and the scenery. In the Battle of Aocheng, the elite marine units of the Normans forcibly tore a hole in the impregnable defense system of the Union Army, pushing the power of airborne operations to the peak...... In this wood, if the soldiers of the guerrilla advance team of the Federation Army were such elite combat forces, how could it be such a one-sided situation?

The current enemy is indeed weak, and Weiss has long been aware of this. On the way back, he led a reserve of 100 men to sweep away two stubborn Norman soldiers, and under pressure, more than half of these Normans chose to surrender. The battle in the forest came to an end, and a whole company of Norman marines was captured by nearly 100 people, and the rest were killed, wounded, and some fled in panic to the depths of the forest. In less than half an hour, the Norman battleship, which had hastily withdrawn from the battle, had been "standing by" from the sky, and had not even fired a few shots in a pretend, and it was not known whether the fleeing Norman soldiers would complain to their superiors after they returned.

The damaged Norman cruiser could not be brought down, and Weiss's troops were helpless to fight and have sufficient ammunition, so he ordered the transfer of his own wounded by Norman prisoners of war, and the Norman wounded were treated urgently by the Normans' own medics, and then stayed here to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

While the morning fog had not yet dissipated, Weiss led this rearguard force to chase the main force at full speed. As he crossed the first hill through the low-lying terrain, Weiss stopped to watch and saw the Norman cruiser slowly descend from its previous position, and the commander on board would soon learn from his wounded and escaped men the general course of the battle, and report it to the command that Weiss and his radio jamming equipment had to be disassembled and carried during the march on foot, and could no longer serve its jamming role. In fact, if the Normans had mastered radio frequency hopping, this fixed-frequency jamming method would have basically lost its original meaning.

From one hill to another, the not-over-loaded team walked for almost an hour. On the second hill, Weiss looked back and saw that the Norman cruiser, which had almost sunk with mortar, had followed the direction he had shifted. Although its flight altitude at this time is within the range of mortars, if he redeploys his position with the rearguard troops and beats it up with a gourd, whether he can kill it or not, it will definitely take a lot of time, and the morning fog has dissipated, and the traces of battle in the mountains and forests will definitely provide guidance for the follow-up troops of the Normans, and it may lead to annihilation!

Therefore, Weiss decided to ignore this "dog", and sent an order to the leader of the team from the tail of the team to "advance covertly", and issued a warning to the prisoners in the team: If there is any noise, kill them on the spot!

In this almost primitive mountain forest, tall cypress and fir trees, stout oak trees and evergreen oak pines form a vast forest sea one after another, although the lush vegetation, undulating terrain and natural ravines bring some trouble to the troops on foot, but as long as it is not the season of the frozen valley, the guerrillas can get a good cover here. The Lorraine guerrillas were able to hold out for a year under the repeated sweeps of the Norman army, and they made full use of the mountainous environment of Lorraine - unless the enemy sent a large number of troops to carry out an ironclad ground-air joint sweep, they could easily go around with the enemy and bite the enemy when they had the opportunity, so that the Normans could not be overwhelmed.

As the most senior guerrilla commander of the Union Army, Weiss would not forget his housekeeping skills because of a small victory. In view of the flight path of the enemy corvette, he calmly led his troops to a "lost step": sometimes stationary in the forest, sometimes a rapid march, sometimes concentrated for concealment, sometimes in batches across the ravine. The vigorous footsteps of the soldiers blended in with the rustle of the wind blowing the leaves and waves, and the enemy was hundreds of feet in the air, and in the roar of the flying battleship, he could not detect the abnormal sound on the ground at all.

By the afternoon, Weiss's team had gone twenty or thirty miles, and it was a "successful escape from the scene of the incident", and if it weren't for the Norman cruiser still circling around, the battle would have been perfect.

The early morning feast of canned meat made the soldiers perform very well from the fight to the transfer, but they were not steel after all, and from the day before yesterday to this morning, they had trekked more than two hundred miles through the mountains and forests, engaged in battle, moved quickly, and walked for several hours, and their energy and physical strength were close to the limit - Weiss clearly saw this. When the troops reached a forest with a stream flowing, he ordered all the troops to rest and eat and drink on the spot.

After tying the Norman captives and gagging them, the warriors could not resist the heavy fatigue, sat or lay down, and fell asleep soundly. Weiss did not arrange for a sentry, but climbed a fir tree and single-handedly took on the guard of the entire makeshift camp. In his special vision, the Norman prisoners of war who came were demoralized and had no fighting spirit, and it took them considerable physical strength to carry the stretcher, and after being tied up, they couldn't set off the wind and waves at all, as for the Norman battleship that had been reluctant to leave for a long time, not only was it slow, but it also looked very clumsy when turning, it seemed that the damage to the external propulsion and steering devices did affect its mobility, and the reason why it was not evacuated was obviously because of the orders of the superiors, and there would definitely be backup troops!

If it were a transfer of flying ships or combat planes, coming from Wallence or a base further away, it would have been almost a few hours, but there was still no trace of the enemy in the distant sky...... The Norman cruiser that appeared earlier, which was supposed to be able to urgently replenish fuel or load combat personnel at Wallens, did not come, and was probably transferred to another place for another mission. As long as this big guy does not appear, the psychological pressure of the fighters will be reduced a lot, and sufficient self-confidence is undoubtedly an important soft guarantee for the next move.

Weiss observed the enemy situation and planned the follow-up arrangements. He planned to let the soldiers sleep for four or five hours, although it would not be 100% restorative, but it would be enough for them to maintain their normal condition until the next rest, and after four or five hours, it would be dark, and even if there was no fog, the Norman battleship would basically be "blind", and only a slight adjustment of course would be needed to completely shake it off. However, when it was still about two hours before dark, the bright sun was obscured by a large dark cloud drifting from the east, and the sky suddenly became overcast, and the wind began to strengthen. Although the sight on a rainy day is not as bad as that on a foggy day, bad weather is always advantageous for the guerrilla advance troops who are fighting alone in enemy-occupied areas.

The rain hadn't started yet, and there were uninvited guests on the horizon. Entering Weiss's field of vision, there were two Norman transport ships full of combatants, judging from the observed combat readings, one carried more than 800 people, and the other was 500+, excluding the crew, these two transports should carry between 1200-1300 combatants, it may be two ordinary marine battalions, or an elite reinforced battalion, or a rabble of several companies put together.

Two Norman transports came from the east, and the wind was quite fast, and as it continued to fly over the woods where the battle had taken place earlier, Weiss's heart suddenly throbbed, a rare sensation that seemed to occur only in some special circumstances, could it be ...... His own fatal enemy, who was also a blood relative, the former pride of the Clumber Haysen family, the military nobleman bestowed by the Norman dynasty, Baron Noo Scala Sabre, the Ze Clumber Haisen, who had lost his real name, is here!

The position of the Norman cruiser at this moment was about ten miles away from the temporary resting place of Weiss, which was not far away, but not close, and the two Norman transports had used it as a reference to set their flight direction from the moment they appeared. By this time, Wei Si's heart could not sit still, so he slipped down from the tree, first woke up the officers and non-commissioned officers, told them in concise language that there was a new enemy situation, and then they woke up the soldiers one by one, so that the process of awakening was quiet and orderly.

It seems that they were alerted by friendly war reports, and the two transport ships did not fly close to the treetops, but maintained an altitude of 1,000 feet, and only slowed down and descended when they reached the intended landing position, and the last half was basically a rapid vertical landing, and its landing point was precisely in the upper reaches of this stream, where a small patch of lush trees was missing, which provided unhindered conditions for the landing of flying ships - if it was a thick-skinned and heavily armored assault ship, even a dense forest could force a landing, And light warships and ordinary transport ships are like cars, and forcibly hitting a tree will not end well.

The fighters of the guerrilla advance detachment did not set up camp and did not have to leave the camp again, but when they woke up, they took their weapons and ammunition and set off. They untied Norman prisoners of war and drove them to continue carrying the wounded in pairs. Under Weiss's command, the party set out again, first moving downstream along the ravine, and when the rain had risen and it was dark, and the sight was as bad as night, they quickly crossed the stream to the opposite bank, and continued westward. The Norman army in the upper reaches of the stream, which did not stop because of the heavy rain, sent scattered detachments in all directions, and the main force moved westward, that is, the two teams were ten miles apart and marched in parallel routes in the rain......
