Chapter 120: Tricky Things

Past battles, Northern, Western Frontier, Aocheng, Lorraine...... Weiss has played the role of a lone hero more than once, but there are not many times when he actually fights many enemies single-handedly, not to mention that this is still in the heart of the Norman Empire, far from the Federation. Even with the stimulation of adrenaline, even with the surging blood, he always uses rational thinking to restrain his behavior. When the Norman soldiers retreated from the lost regimental headquarters like a receding tide, he quickly retreated to the stairwell far from the gate and the windows at all sides. Sure enough, an enraged Norman threw grenades at the doors and windows, and the series of explosions crumbled the building, shattering all the window panes and leaking walls.

There is probably no other building in this town that has experienced such terrible devastation.

With the determination to destroy everything, the Normans probably felt that victory was in their hands, and more than a dozen soldiers swarmed through the gates, and a small number entered through windows and wall openings in several other directions. In the deep night and the dust and smoke, Weiss, who was like a gray man, taught the enemy the combat skills of "four or two thousand pounds" with his coquettish position and accurate position. The Normans who entered the building didn't even see his ghostly figure, and were killed by grenades tumbling from their feet, bullets fired from the shadows, and even the butts of their rifles coming silently. Within a quarter of an hour, the Norman soldiers were either dead or wounded, and retreated in disarray. After this, the Normans outside were obviously intimidated, the officers shouted, but they did not dare to charge again with the soldiers, the soldiers shot blindly, and consumed ammunition, which was the biggest difference between the first-class combat units and the ordinary troops. In fact, in order to withstand the repeated attacks of the Normans, Weiss had already used up most of the ammunition at his disposal, and he was exhausted and slightly wounded in the explosion, and if the enemy had riveted enough strength to attack once or twice, he might not be able to hold out.

It took no time to do so, and the gunfire on the outskirts of the town kept approaching. Weiss knew that the Secret Service had gradually taken control of the situation. He looked at the time, and everything was just right. At this point, even if the Normans rushed again, it would be useless, and what was the practical point of them blowing up their regimental headquarters like this, and taking them back?

Through his special vision, Weiss saw his secret service troops advancing in several directions, rapidly approaching the town. There are fewer and fewer enemies nearby. [ ] Eventually, all but a few wounded and unresponsive escaped.

Weiss finally breathed a sigh of relief, but not completely. It turned out that it was not difficult to break down the enemy's alert defenses around the town, but how to escort the target personnel away. The generals were transferred, and the rest of the personnel were basically of the same priority, which made the job a little easier. For a while, he didn't have any superfluous thoughts, just wondering how to get along with his sister-in-law and nephews and nieces he had never met. War is a contest between soldiers, and although ordinary people cannot stay out of it, they should not be involved, so whether it is justice or selfishness, they should not care about each other, but it is often difficult to predict what the truth will be.

Finally, when the soldiers of the special forces came to meet them, Weiss casually beckoned them to clean up the battlefield, and despite all kinds of battles, they were still impressed by the battle that Weiss made alone.

Weiss didn't have time to take the knees of his companions, and asked directly, "Where is the colonel?" ”

"She took a detachment to the lake." A non-commissioned officer answered the question.

On the side of the lake was a hidden fortress of the enemy, where artillery fire could threaten ships on the lake. If this hidden danger can be solved, people can be transferred by water. The waterway has the limitation of the waterway, and the land route has the convenience of the land, and no one of the two is absolutely in an advantage, but if the two roads can be combined with each other, the speed and efficiency of the transfer should be effectively improved, and you can even call your own transport ship to fly here to land. Thinking of this, Wei Si hurriedly said: "Take me quickly, there is an enemy bunker over there, and that is a very critical target!" ”

The non-commissioned officer hesitated for a moment: "I heard them talk about this, and they should go over there to solve that trouble." ”

When discussing the battle plan with Octavier and the others, the dark castle by the lake had never been mentioned, and Weiss thought that no one knew, so after learning about it from Nei Ying's mouth, he had always felt like a fish in his throat, but now it seems that the special forces are not only brave and good at fighting, but also thoughtful and safe. Whether they knew it in advance or on the spot, at least Weiss didn't have to worry about it. Together with his soldiers, he cleaned up the battlefield and went to various dwellings to find the target personnel, but this simple task was not easy to implement, and some people were frightened by the sound of gunfire and explosions outside, and hid in the shelters of their residences. Unable to knock on the door, and unable to move, they could only climb the wall and climb the window, trying to get the shivering residents out.

Since most of the soldiers of the special forces did not speak fluent Norman, they had to carry notices written in Norman before the operation, and it was not easy to calm down the residents and read the notices after this step, even if they got through, some chose to cooperate, some resisted leaving, and some hesitated. Not only that, but those who chose to leave took a long and short time to pack their bags, which was a headache for Weiss and the soldiers of the special forces. Eventually, the departers assembled in the plaza and were identified by a special team of three - the information of these targets was top secret, and even Weiss had no access to them. It was only at this time that he approached and asked these mysterious bosses to help find Baron Scala's sabre family.

"Scala...... Scala ...... Oh, yes, one is Kemp Scala, 9 years old, and one is Mantha Scala, 6 years old, and their mother is Beverly Gletis, 33 years old......"

"Are they there? Is it coming? Weiss asked with concern.

"It doesn't seem to be yet." The man replied.

Seeing the enemy Neiying, the girl he had met before, standing next to him in a medical uniform, Weiss hurried over to ask her if she had an impression of these names and knew where they lived.

The girl thought hard, and told Weiss a house number, fearing that he would not find a place, and explained it to him again.

Weiss ran as soon as he pulled his legs, and within a few steps of running, he heard a loud bang from the direction of the lake.

With his rich battlefield experience, he knew that nine times out of ten, such a sound was caused by an explosion at an ammunition depot. The rising flames were mixed with billowing black smoke, and the light of the fire reflected the sky, and the vision could be seen even from dozens of kilometers away. From now on, they must prepare for the worst, which is that the enemy's troops in the vicinity will rush to the town as fast as they can.

With Ze's widow and the Clumber-Hayssen family on one side, and his former instructor and sidekick on the other, Weiss almost didn't hesitate to change the direction of his run. When he reached the lake, he found it a mess, with the soldiers of the Secret Service busy coming and going, and some people said they had seen her, but it was before the big explosion. Weiss told the soldiers to look around the explosion site, and he also joined the search with the help of special skills, but the battle at the enemy's regimental headquarters consumed too much of his energy, and the continuity at this time was difficult to maintain, so the effect was affected, and after fierce battles and violent explosions, the situation at the scene was really too chaotic, and he found a few of his own people in the ruins, but none of them were rescued by Octavier. If Octavier were to die, his second commander would have to take command of the operation—a pre-planned plan for Weiss, who still felt a heavy psychological burden. Not because he lacked understanding of the overall plan of the operation, or because he felt bleak about the prospects for the operation, but because he felt that he had difficulty navigating the situation.

Whether Weiss wanted it or not, whether he was confident or not, it didn't take long for the officers of the Secret Service to gather around him spontaneously. These people are all veterans of battle, who can stabilize the morale of the army at critical moments, and they also give enough respect and support to this foreign second commander in form. In the direction of the action, most people agreed with Weiss's opinion that if possible, the transport ships should fly to the side of the town and land on the road or lake, carrying directly the target personnel and participating troops. However, when they contacted the commander of the transport ship by radio, the other party insisted on carrying out the original plan, which was to arrange for the target personnel to be transferred to the valley to board the transport ship.

Since going to the aviation unit to liaise on operational affairs, Weiss has tried to get closer to these "proud sons of the sky" in order to maintain close coordination during the operation, and this kind of disagreement between the two sides can theoretically be resolved through coordination, Weiss sent a telegram to Major Halaiguez in his personal name, briefly explaining the reasons for their adjustment plan, and also praising the fighting spirit of the aviation unit that is not afraid of hardships and dangers and regards death as home. The special forces were also reminded that the transports would be in the valley until 5 a.m. at most, and that they would have to take off if they had exceeded the time and were on the safe side—if the enemy had sent combat vessels, they would have to return alone, and if not, they could consider landing in the valley the next night to meet them.

The matter has been exposed, how easy is it to survive a day on the enemy's territory?

The telegraph went back and forth neither fast nor slow, and while waiting, Weiss took the time to talk to the two captured Norman soldiers. These people didn't seem to be very determined to resist, so they more or less revealed some of the things they knew, such as the fact that there were a few gunboats on the lake, they didn't really have much force, they could carry some people to the other side, and there were some kayaks and wooden boats on the lakeside, but they were not very useful at this time. The other side of the lake. About a dozen miles away, there is another small village, and the rest of it is densely wooded. Weiss and the others also got some information from the intelligence before, and the two coincided with each other.

If you want to transport people by land and water, the efficiency of traveling to the valley can be greatly improved. This waterway can only transport half of the people, and half of them have to be transported by car. However, there was a burst of gunfire from the north side of the town, which did not sound like a fierce resistance, but several explosions in quick succession gave Weiss some bad premonition. A short time later, the soldiers reported to him that the remnants of the enemy had blasted the vehicles as they retreated, smashing several trucks and some cars, and two ambulances appeared to have been smashed as well. If these vehicles are finished, then the efficiency of transporting people by land will be reduced to a terrible level, and all the problems will not be solved by water alone, so what should we do?

Just when Weiss was anxious, Octavier, who had disappeared, finally appeared. She was disheveled and covered in wounds, even more embarrassed than Weiss had before, but fortunately these were only skin wounds. He led the team to attack the enemy's bunker, but he was stunned in the explosion, buried in the collapsed fortifications, and almost lost his life, but fortunately, these are all over. Her brow furrowed as she listened to Weiss and the officers' briefings as she was being bandaged by the medics. After listening, she spoke loudly: "The waterway arranges a group of people to go first, let them rush to the valley as fast as possible, and retreat as much as they can." For the rest, we'll figure it out! ”
