After calmly pondering, Weiss responded with a solemn attitude: "You reminded me that I really did not properly consider the placement of my father and mother before, and they suffered a lot with me. Rest assured, I will arrange for them to move to a place where the situation is relatively stable and supplies are more abundant as soon as possible, so that they can survive the rest of the war in peace. I believe that even if the circumstances are not so ideal, they would rather stay than go abroad. As for me, if I can't wait for my comrades to win the war, I would rather die on the battlefield than live in the world in another way! ”

After saying these impassioned words, Weiss thought that Ze would argue and persuade, but he didn't expect that he just walked up to him, stretched out his arms, gave himself a hug, and then whispered: "Everyone has their own ambitions, brother, I am deeply gratified that you have this determination." Fate turned us against each other and ended up on the opposite side of the battlefield, and I think we have nothing to be sad about, let's do our best to do what we think is right! Even if one day I die under your gun, or the other way around...... Those who are alive must live well, just remember, and don't feel guilty. ”

When he said this, if he was sincere, Weiss believed that he was standing in front of him a man of great heart and talent. It's a pity that the Tao is different and doesn't conspire with each other. Even though he was a little moved in his heart, he still calmly admonished: "If you still care about our brotherhood and the honor of the Clumber-Haysen family, I advise you: There is no end to the bitter sea, and there is a shore to turn back!" ”

Ze smiled: "Since the day I left, I have already cut off my retreat. Don't live for anything else, for your ideals! ”

Living for ideals is probably the highest state of life!

Knowing that he couldn't convince the other party, Weiss sighed: "Okay, it's time for me to go." ”

Ze stretched out his right hand and pressed it with his thumb on Weiss's head: "Bella hand it over to me for protection, and you, you have to protect yourself!" ”

In his memory, when he was a child, Ze encouraged himself like this, but in reality, Weiss, as the eldest son in the family, has never received such care. Such intricate feelings made him a little upset.

"You too!" With that, he turned and walked away.

"Quast!" Ze called.

The Norman officer from before appeared outside the front hall door and said, "Always at your command!" ”

Ze's command was only one sentence: "Send this gentleman back." ”

Weiss slipped into the car without looking back, and the brothers tacitly did not wave goodbye to each other.

On the way back to the lake, Weiss saw the seaplane still hovering not far from shore, and his heart hanging in the air gradually relaxed. However, when I thought of the current predicament of the "guerrilla fighters in Lorraine," the low point in which the resistance movement in the Lorraine region had fallen, and the memory of Ze's various virtues of being intelligent, shrewd, bold and careful when he was young, my heart suddenly became heavy.

With the Lorraines alone, there was little prospect for this heroic resistance. When will the external turnaround come?

Weiss returned to the shore of the lake, and the planes on the lake also approached. When he re-boarded the plane, the Union pilot looked at him with surprised eyes: "Colonel, I thought the Normans weren't going to let you go!" ”

"Thank you for not leaving me to go back alone." Weiss barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Seeing that the Normans on the shore did not behave abnormally, the pilot unhurriedly steered the plane to turn around and began to accelerate its taxiing on the lake. When the plane finished taxiing and rose into the air, he asked curiously, "Is this negotiation going well?" ”

Did it go well? Didn't it go well? This question left Weiss a little dazed. After thinking for a while, he replied loudly: "The war is not endless, the fighting is endless. ”

What Weiss didn't expect was that shortly after he returned to the Resistance's secret stronghold, a cold wave came. While battling the Norman blockade sweep, the resisters also had to contend with bad weather. It was the harsh winter season, and this terrible snowstorm lasted day after day, and the world was so white that there was no second thing to see except the snow, let alone walking in the woods, even in a wooden house or a tunnel near the surface, it could not withstand the invasion of the cold. In the new camp, where the conditions were poor, the resistance could not use open fires and had to survive on improved smokeless heating, and frostbite from low temperatures and malnutrition from lack of food made the resistance the first two enemies to weaken the resistance. The morale in the camp was frozen like the weather, let alone fighting, and even if the Norman army did not come, it would not be long before the ranks would fall apart......

In this hour of deepest darkness, in the abyss of despair, the will of the resisters is tested like never before. Weiss failed to fulfill his promise to Ze and send the Lord and his wife out of the mountains of Lorraine, but instead endured hunger and cold with them to survive one difficult day after another. On the day the blizzard stopped, the silence in the mountains and forests was terrifying, as if all living things had been frozen. Despite the freezing temperature, the fighters went out of the tunnels, re-erected the damaged antennas, turned on the radio, and searched for radio signals from the Union Army. A few hours later, the radio received a message that cheered everyone up: on the frontal battlefield, the Federation Army had sounded the horn of a counterattack. They broke the Norman army on the Françon-Brubbuck line, and then won four battles and four victories, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, recovering a large part of the lost territory, and the momentum of the strategic counteroffensive has taken shape!

Hearing this good news, the soldiers boiled and cheered, and cried with joy. Later, it was learned that the advance of the federal army had reached Waglisa, which was only more than 200 miles away from the city. Once the city is recovered, the return of Lorraine is just around the corner!

Good news from the frontal battlefield saved this guerrilla force on the verge of collapse. But after the exaltation, Weiss and his companions had to face up to the current plight of the guerrillas: lack of food, lack of fuel, more wounded, shortage of medicine...... How can we attack the Norman occupation forces and respond to the federal counteroffensive?

As the weather temporarily improved, the Resistance was able to redeploy reconnaissance and liaison personnel to obtain first-hand information on the movements of the occupying forces. Soon news came back to the camp that it was clear that the Normans had moved their elite troops from Lorraine due to the sudden change in the situation on the frontal battlefield, and that the 1st Marine Division had even left in a hurry on the days when the blizzard was raging. As a result, the blockade established by the Normans in the mountains of Lorraine was still in place, and its deterrent effect was much less than before.

Having discovered the latest enemy situation, Weiss decisively led the partisans into action, on the one hand, they obtained the remnants of equipment and supplies from the old camp that the Normans had not been aware of before, so as to restore and enrich their combat strength, and on the other hand, they continued to reconnoiter the distribution of Norman troops in various strongholds, villages and towns, and laid the foundation for the next move.

While actively repurposing, the Resistance broke the long radio silence and turned to the Federal Forces for support. In view of the fact that the active activities of the resistance groups behind enemy lines were able to contain the enemy forces and prepare for the front-line fighting, the reasonable demands of the Union Army for the "Lorraine guerrilla fighters" were basically complied with. With the advance of the battle line, the distance from the Federal-controlled area to the mountainous area of Lorraine has been reduced, and the transport plane equipped with skid can complete the round-trip flight in one night, and the transportation efficiency and scale have been greatly improved compared with the past. Not only that, but the Union Army also sent a new high-speed cruiser to harass the Norman army, bringing large pieces of equipment and supplies to the resistance groups in the Lorraine area. In this way, in less than half a month, the Lorraine resistance forces miraculously "came back to life", and the soldiers all geared up and vowed to do a big job.

With the urgent demands of the Union forces on the one hand, and the intrinsic needs of the guerrillas on the other, it was imperative to attack the Norman occupation forces. After much deliberation and deliberation, Weiss and Major Ezerson decided to adopt a strategy of attacking the mountain city of Slane, pretending to attack the mountain city of Slane, but in fact attacking Wallens. As soon as the plan was decided, the guerrilla units immediately began to implement it, and the Norman troops stationed in the mountains of Lorraine launched a preemptive attack on the transport airfield of the Resistance with two battalions of troops, with only two cruisers to provide support......

In this battle, the Norman army broke the convention, focusing on the rapid advance of the ground mechanized troops, and the air power only provided the most basic cover, and acted in an area far away from their own strongholds, the scouts of the Norman army not only accurately detected the target area, but also pulled out the outer outposts of the resistance group, and waited until the guerrilla alerts issued a warning of enemy attack, and the resistance who was receiving and transferring supplies at the transport airborne field had no time to properly deal with the scene. The fierce Colonel Kane chose a compromise strategy in favor of the latter: to hold off the enemy with elite combat power, and to cover his comrades to carry away the guerrillas' most desperate need for medicine, fuel, and high-calorie food.

The "Pioneer Company" trained by Colonel Kane already has the appearance of a special operations elite. They made the most of the terrain to keep the menacing Norman army at a stone's throw from the transport parachute field. In the glow of flares, the fighters took down one Norman soldier after another with sniper rifles, hunted enemy armored vehicles with anti-armor guns, and constructed impenetrable death zones with mortars. Before the Norman army figured out how to deal with it, they fought a beautiful battle for half an hour, venting their depression and grievances for half a year!

In this battle, although the Norman army was once beaten by the high-spirited guerrillas, with the commander's excellent ability to dispatch the battle and the good combat quality of the infantry units, taking advantage of the opponent's lack of strength and limited experience, the woodland tactics suppressed the forest defense, and soon reversed the battle situation, interspersed combat troops almost cut off the retreat of the resisters, and almost turned the offensive and defensive battle into a siege and annihilation war. The partisans had to retreat into the tunnels and escape from the Normans using the predetermined retreat routes, and although they avoided greater human losses, only a fraction of the war supplies arrived that night, and nine out of ten fell into the hands of the Normans.
