"I'm sorry, Mr. Major, I didn't have time to discuss the details of the international convention with you, but you see, I didn't hurt your wounded who had laid down their arms, but let them leave this dangerous place from the point of protecting their personal safety...... You are the commander of this battleship, I perfectly understand your feelings, but alas, this is war! ”

With a smile of his hand, Weiss motioned for his men to escort the angry Norman cruiser commander in front of him into the woods outside. It was still raining, and forcibly driving the Normans who had given up resistance - including a considerable number of wounded - from the forced landing battleship to the outside in the rain did seem a little inhumane at first glance, but in the war years, intentional or uncontrolled massacres abounded, and it was already quite sincere "humane" to let them live when they could not be taken away!

The sound of the drizzling rain and the scattered sound of artillery concealed the small and small movement of the guerrilla advance team when it raided the forced landing of the battleship. Weiss had the soldiers inspect the ship's communications equipment and interrogate several prisoners of war, convinced that it had been damaged in previous battles and that the Normans could not use it to send distress signals. With this in mind, he slowed down his pace a little and guided the soldiers through the methodical selection and handling of the loot. Unlike the "shabby" of the transport, the arsenal of this battleship is much more "full": rows of guns, including rifles and light machine guns, and even magazine-type machine guns; Boxes of bullets and grenades were piled up on the wall, as well as a lot of signal flares and flares used by individual soldiers, and it was also thanks to the courage and determination of these Normans that they did not have a ship in place and that they were killed, otherwise, as long as someone blocked the door of the ammunition arsenal with grenades, it was enough to make Weiss and his soldiers collectively crazy.

Since the ammunition on both sides was not universal, Weiss simply used up the reserve plan and let two-thirds of them switch to the "Norman caliber". For the ordinary fighters of the guerrilla advance detachment, the enemy's weapons and equipment are not so easy to use, and the combat performance will be somewhat reduced, but at least in the next battle, ammunition will not become an obstacle to their development of fighting spirit and combat skills......

In a short time, the battlefield was cleared, and the soldiers had to change the shirts, sweaters, and fleece jackets that had been found in the storehouses of the enemy ships, and they tore off the embroidered marks of the Norman army, and only put on the outermost military uniforms, which would be difficult to dry for a while. For tactical purposes, Weiss also selected a few fighters to carry the enemy's military uniforms and steel helmets. After moving all the surviving 300 Norman soldiers to the nearby woods, the soldiers placed time-delay detonators in various ammunition depots and fuel tanks, and when they were evacuated, the Norman cruiser, which had been wandering on the battlefield for a day, was transformed into a dazzling pre-dawn torch in a series of explosions and deflagrations. The sky-high flames lit up the night sky, and what was happening here could be seen from dozens of miles away. The Norman cruisers that were taking control of the scene quickly arrived, but by the time they figured out what had happened, Weiss and his elite forces had already escaped into the forest.

However, even if you run with all your might, it will only be a matter of minutes for the enemy's flying battleships to catch up. The Norman cruiser paused near the still-burning wreckage of the cruiser, and then began a close search of the surrounding mountains and forests—the big guy not only flew along the treetops, but also put all the searchlights into use, and the gunners in the open gun emplacements poked their heads out and craned their necks to observe the ground.

The soldiers around Weiss, after layers of division of troops and combat attrition, have turned into a very inconspicuous squad by this time, flexible in action and easy to conceal. With his extensive experience in guerrilla warfare, as long as the Normans did not send marines to conduct a carpet search, they could basically deal with it with ease. Soon after, the sky became brighter, and the rain tightened again, and by about 8 o'clock in the morning, the rain gradually subsided until it stopped completely. For the fighters of the guerrilla advance detachment, the greatest natural cover came to an end. Next, they will face a harsher and more fierce counterattack from the enemy, and the slightest mistake can lead to a desperate situation......

After repeated searches over the mountains and forests to no avail, the Norman cruiser stopped its previous inefficient hunting methods, and slowly landed near the wreckage of the second cruiser, releasing heavily armed marines, but instead of taking off again, it temporarily transformed into a steel fortress ready to move.

I will not move if the enemy moves, and I will not move if the enemy does not move. Seeing that the Norman cruiser was parked in the woods, Weiss and his soldiers quickly moved south, passing several places along the way that were suitable for ambushes, but their biggest disadvantage at this time was that they were within the range of the enemy's naval guns - you must know that the main guns of the Norman cruisers could sweep an area the size of a football field with three or five rounds. Multiple main guns were output in turn, and Weiss's men and horses couldn't last a few minutes at all, not to mention that the marines carried by this Norman cruiser were not soft. The Normans searched the woods on the ground, and it was not difficult for them to trace the route of their retreat through the traces left by the attackers. Sensing that the enemy was following, Weiss deliberately led his soldiers through places where it was easy to leave footprints, laying improvised traps halfway through, and then changing the direction of travel, using the "Lost Track" to disrupt the enemy's judgment.

When the tracking Norman marines broke into the trap and caused explosions one after another, the Norman cruiser that landed on the ground reacted quickly, and it rose into the air in an almost "dry land plucking" attitude, grazing the treetops and rushing to the area where the explosion occurred. After determining the location of its own soldiers, it immediately launched indiscriminate shelling of suspicious locations in the vicinity, with a posture of preferring to indulge in the destruction of everything.

When the rumbling cannon resounded through the mountains and forests, Weiss had already led the team to a distance of more than ten miles, and they quickly took cover. Before the enemy could get closer, they repeated their old tricks, making some obvious footprints and laying a cable-like explosive trap. Estimating that the enemy would be much more cautious after being fooled once, and that the weather was getting better, it would be easier to spot and remove traps, so Weiss decided to set up a suspicious formation, and sent two teams to the distant mountain nests and cols to place explosive points and install long-delay detonators.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the Norman cruiser and those marines were still "digging into the ground" in the position they had just placed, and they couldn't help but feel ridiculous. However, the enemy ground forces in the line of sight were all coming in the cruiser behind, and the troops that had been airborne before did not seem to have returned to help, thinking of this, Weiss was a little worried: if his own rearguard troops escorting Norman prisoners of war and transferring the wounded were caught up by that group of enemies, the losses would be great—if they were really led by Baron Alla, that is, his brother Ze, with his extraordinary military ability, they could indeed cause big trouble!

Soon the first point of detonation with a time-delay detonator exploded, and the attention of the enemy was immediately drawn past. Weiss set out again with his warriors, making a concealed and rapid march in the opposite direction. They made a great circle in the mountains and forests, and finally returned to the direction where the large army had retreated, and the Norman cruiser and the group of ground troops were like two stupid dogs, left far behind them.

If the previous raid on the enemy's forced landing of warships and the nose of the enemy in the mountains and forests was a test of wisdom and courage, then from this moment on, Weiss and the group of soldiers he led were fighting for physical strength—they were a day and a night behind the main force that was the first to move, half a day and a night later than the rearguard unit that held prisoners of war and guarded the wounded, and more than half a night later than carrying mortars and escorting a small number of wounded. In order to speed up as much as possible, Weiss and his soldiers were once again dressed simply, leaving only one gun, sixty rounds of ammunition, and two spindle bullets each, and the rest of the guns and ammunition were either set up in traps or hidden in hiding places.

Generally speaking, well-trained and normal federal army units can reach the limit speed of 20 miles per hour and 24-26 miles per hour for light and rapid marches, and 30 miles for forced marches, but this refers to a good road on a sunny day. The mountainous terrain, the lack of roads, and the muddy after the rain make the limit speed about 20 miles, and the duration of the forced march usually does not exceed 4-5 hours, and the whole day does not exceed 10 hours. Guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is different from that of the regular army in terms of form and requirements, and the faster the speed and the longer the duration of the hike, the chance of winning the battle and seeking survival. Weiss led the way, and the warriors followed closely, through the woods, over the hills, over the ravines, and the newly changed dry underwear, stained with mud and sweat, and soon soaked again. I walked like this for more than four hours, with only one short break in between. As he walked, he suddenly heard gunshots in front of him, Weiss asked the soldiers to rest in place, gritted his teeth and climbed a tall fir tree, and opened a special vision to see that a Norman army of about 300 people was attacking a guerrilla advance force of more than 100 people.

The gunfire continued for a while, and then there were explosions, judging by the momentum, there were both spinach and mortar shells. The special field of vision can detect the strength and distribution of the enemy and our troops, but it cannot directly observe the battle process. In view of the extremely strong mobility of the enemy ships, as long as they dragged on for a little time, his troops would be in danger of falling into a desperate situation, so he quickly descended from the tree, gathered the soldiers, briefly explained to them the battle situation ahead and his own plan, and after a very brief mobilization, quickly covered the enemy's flank and rear.

Time is precious, but on the battlefield, time is of the essence, and the enemy situation cannot be ignored either. After running for about ten minutes, there was an enemy guard post in front of them, and they worked in groups of two to coordinate with each other, and one of the two or three groups was equipped with light machine guns. It is impossible to get around, and it is strong and sudden, either seeking speed and casualties, or seeking stability and slowly trying to figure it out - making a decision on the spot, judging the situation, Weiss took a few deep breaths, calmed down, got rid of distracting thoughts, and moved forward with one heart. He sometimes wields two guns, sometimes throws bombs accurately, sometimes snipes from a distance, and forcibly tears open in the enemy's cordon, although he repeatedly brushes shoulders with the enemy's bullets, but he is fearless, like a killing god returning to the world. The soldiers followed up one after another, cleared several groups of enemy guard posts in one go, quickly killed behind the enemy's main force, set up machine guns, and directly burst into ......
