"1 detachment, defend the pass, if the enemy attacks fiercely, hold it for an hour and retreat, if the enemy does not attack fiercely, try to hold it for two to three hours. 2 detachments, A area is deployed, and after the 3 detachments are withdrawn, they go from the right flank to the enemy's flank and flank the enemy's combat units; Detachment 3, deployed in Area B, from the left flank to the enemy's rear, raided the enemy's artillery and baggage units; 4 detachments, C area deployment, ready to respond to 5 detachments; Detachment 5, stay in the camp and guard against the enemy's sneak attack! ”

At the new camp No. 1 of the "Lorraine Guerrilla Fighters", Weiss issued combat arrangements to the commanders of the detachments on the basis of a self-made combat map. Each of the five guerrilla detachments has a strength of between 40 and 50 troops, plus the outpost alert unit and the special operations squad, and the number of combatants that can be mobilized this time is close to 300. In longitudinal comparison, it is still much worse than the heyday of the "Lorraine guerrilla fighters", but after ups and downs, big waves and sands, most of the elite fighters with iron will and mature psychology remain.

Located in the north-west of the Lorraine Mountains, this camp is the most primitive and backward part of the entire federal state of Lorraine due to its rugged and difficult terrain and lack of easily exploitable mineral deposits. The camp is located in a nondescript mountain col with a large mountain backdrop and can be accessed on three sides. The so-called pass is a relatively flat natural passage in the rugged mountains and rocks, although it is conducive to defense, but it is not the kind of natural danger that cannot be opened by one man.

At this time, only four days had passed since the Norman army raided the forest transport airfield, and the Norman army set out from Balai and Slane respectively, and marched through mountains and rivers to this place, which was obviously a pre-planned "combination punch". Judging from the reconnaissance situation, the enemy dispatched one and a half regiments of infantry, more than 3,000 people, and the strength of the two sides is not only reflected in the difference in numbers of one to ten. A few months ago, the Normans had dared to penetrate deep into the mountains with ground troops, and Weiss and his partisan fighters would not let the Normans leave easily. Today, unlike in the past, the resistance group has suffered a great loss of vitality, and equipment and ammunition can be quickly replenished, and it is difficult for elite soldiers to replenish quickly. Moreover, the special status of the current military governor of Lorraine, not to mention anything else, is much more familiar with the customs and geographical environment of Lorraine than his predecessors.

This battle is destined to be a vicious battle of life and death.

"Don't worry! Our army is already winning on the front, the Normans are in full decline, and the morale of the army has been shaken. As long as the enemy does not send flying ships into the battle, we have at least a sixty percent chance of winning this battle, and even if the enemy brings in three or two warships, we can calmly deal with it. Major Ezerson was conclusive. On the one hand, the guerrilla fighters have bullets in their guns and food in their stomachs, and their biggest worries have been resolved, and they are able to calmly deal with the enemy. On the other hand, the Union front is constantly advancing, and the front-line airfield is only six or seven hundred miles away, which is already in the effective range of the new attack aircraft, and if necessary, the Union air units can provide strong daytime support to the resistance.

Colonel Kane, who came from the special forces of the Federal Army, was already dressed in combat attire, the KT semi-automatic rifle with sniper scopes in his hand was polished, and there were pineapple bullets hanging on the diagonal armed belt, and he said angrily: "Although the enemy is numerous, after the previous few days of fighting, I can be sure that their first-class field troops have been transferred, and only ordinary garrison troops and even some second-line troops have been sent to deal with us." As long as we take it seriously, do not neglect it, and do not make mistakes, the enemy will not be able to take advantage of us. ”

Everyone was ordered to leave, and Colonel Kane also entered the battlefield safari role with the special operations team he had personally trained. Instead of staring at the map again, Weiss strapped on the leather combat gear that Bella had sewn for him, inspected his pistol, brought in the bullet box, and loaded the spare magazine.

Seeing Weiss's posture, Major Ezelson said, "Since that day, it feels like you've been a different person. ”

Weiss knew that he was referring to his meeting with Ze, and asked without raising his head, "Do you think it has changed for the better or for the worse?" ”

"I feel more rational and decisive, I should have gotten better!" Ezelson replied in a speculative tone.

Weiss quickly filled the two magazines and inserted them into the alternate position of the combat gear. This rig can carry 2 pistols, 6-8 pistol magazines, 4-6 semi-automatic rifle magazines, and 3 spinball rounds, and in terms of ammo configuration, it looks like it is tailor-made for snipers.

Today, Weiss has to play the role of not only a combat commander who overlooks the whole field and grasps the overall situation, but also a guerrilla fighter who directly participates in the battle, and a sniper with superb combat skills and excellent psychological quality.

"It's cruel to be an enemy of your siblings." He said coldly, "Only the ultimate rationality and decisiveness can cope with this situation!" Between brotherhood and the defense of freedom, I, choose to defend freedom! ”

Major Ezelson lowered his head and silently helped Weiss reload the magazine. The pistol he was carrying was a Wicks-style semi-automatic pistol manufactured at the Clumber-Haisen factory, the work of Wicks, the number one gunsmith. Using 3PIR caliber special pistol bullets, 7 rounds of magazine feeding, powerful and long-range, enough to bombard opponents in woodland warfare or urban street battles, it can be said to be the "desert eagle" of this time and space.

Fully loaded with magazines, Weiss put on a steel helmet, fastened his scarf, put on leather gloves, and removed the sniper KT semi-automatic rifle from the gun carriage, which was identical to Colonel Kane. This rifle, the second semi-automatic weapon designed by Weiss for the Crumber-Hayssen family, is relatively mediocre compared to the semi-automatic rifle purchased by the Grumman Group in the early stage, and is characterized by easy operation, easy to disassemble, assemble and maintain. Before the Norman army occupied Lorraine, the Clumberg-Heissen factory had supplied more than 20,000 1.4PIR caliber KT semi-automatic rifles to the federal army, about a quarter of which were sniper models equipped with special scopes, and during the resistance phase behind enemy lines, the workers of the Clumber-Haissen factory who remained in the mountains of Lorraine continued to produce weapons and ammunition using dispersed and transferred equipment and materials. Together, the mortars became a powerful weapon for the Lorraine resistance to repeatedly beat the Norman army, and made a considerable contribution to the resistance movement of the people of Lorraine behind enemy lines.

Before leaving the door, Weiss solemnly explained to the personnel left behind in the headquarters: "If I lose the ability to command the battle, Major Ezelson will take over the command here!" ”

Everyone was silent, but Major Ezelson said with a serious face: "Colonel, you are the backbone of the 'Lorraine guerrilla fighters', so you must return safely no matter what!" ”

Weiss patted his heart: "The war is merciless, except for this eternal free heart in my chest, I can't make any guarantees to you." Good luck, everyone! ”

As he walked out of the tunnel with his rifle and through the thick snow on the ground to the top of the mountain, a biting chill rushed over him, and he felt like he was back in the Monamolin Mountains, back to that morning with mixed feelings. Time will not turn back, and the lives that have passed away will not be resurrected, but the spirit of the secret service elite who are not afraid of sacrifice and regard death as their home will never be extinguished, and the will to pursue and defend freedom will never die......

In the mountains and forests south of the camp, Norman soldiers in white winter clothes are advancing towards the pass. The thick snow made it very slow for the troops to march on foot, and it was impossible for conventional vehicles to pass in this environment, and artillery and baggage had to be towed by animal power using sleds as vehicles. Compared with the previous landing on a flying ship directly to the destination, this way of marching and fighting is simply back to the primitive era! Bad times, bad weather, bad conditions, everything seemed to be terrible, but even so, the unit remained in good formation, and the soldiers did not see the slightest slackness, but remained vigilant.

A sudden explosion broke the tranquility on the surface of this mountain forest, and also pushed the tense atmosphere to the brink of an explosion. After the explosion, in addition to the wails of the wounded, there was a Norman shout: "There are mines!" ”

Landmines are undoubtedly the most troublesome and helpless obstacle for the infantry. The existence of flying warships has led to a general mentality of "emphasizing the air and ignoring the ground" in the development of weapons and equipment in various countries; against this background, the types of mines are simple and not widely used, and the research and development of mine detection equipment is also rarely interested. Encountered a mine on the battlefield? Either fly over, blast over, or wade over.

When suddenly encountered obstacles on the way, a well-trained army must not be alarmed. I saw that the Norman team stopped moving as a whole, but the deployment of the front and rear departments was in full swing: the front line quickly dispersed, the middle road was limited to the location of the mine explosion, and the wounded were withdrawn at the same time, the flanks were constantly stretched in a tentative posture, and soldiers climbed trees to expand their horizons; The Chinese army was deployed on the spot and put on full alert, and the machine gun and machine gun groups quickly occupied advantageous positions and entered a state of readiness at any time; The rearguard units shrank into formation, and the soldiers unloaded half of the guns from the sleighs, assembled them on the spot, and set them on standby...... In just five or six minutes, the Norman army moved from battle march to combat alert. In the absence of a new enemy, the soldiers in the front line divided into several groups, covering each other while detecting mines, although the means of using bayonets to detect mines were inefficient, but the Normans only needed to carve out a passage in the woodland for the team to pass safely, the width did not have to be too wide, and the mines did not have to be eliminated, and the location was marked to bypass.

Little by little, the Normans advanced towards the pass, and when they noticed something suspicious ahead, they opened fire first. The resistance forces guarding the pass immediately opened fire on the Norman army. Bullets, machine shells, mortar shells, infantry shells, all kinds of guns and shells began to whizz through the woods. In an instant, the snow shook and fell, and ice slag flew everywhere. The blazing flames were fleeting, the thick smoke of gunpowder billowed up, and the bright red blood flowers had turned dark brown before they could hit the ground......
