Chapter 37: Manhunt

After the war, the town was still as quiet and peaceful as before, and there was not much change, except that there were many more German soldiers.

For some reason, the Germans did not deal with the Polish people, but only concentrated the Polish prisoners and ignored the Polish people. Perhaps this will change later, and when the Germans capture the Polish capital, Warsaw, will they be strictly controlled. Now they are concentrating on conquering Warsaw, and they have no time to take care of the Polish people, which is why they will ignore it like this.

As a result, such a strange scene appeared, the aggressor and the invaded did not enter the river water, which seemed to be a kind of cold and violent confrontation. This may not be until the German army completely exposes the face of the invaders and carries out brutal oppression, so that the Polish people will be completely alert and resist.

Because the German artillery bombardment was directed against the Polish positions, the town did not suffer much damage, and it was only occasionally affected during street fighting. However, the town has not changed much, there are no ruins, only Polish soldiers in olive green uniforms have disappeared and become German soldiers in navy blue uniforms.

The German soldiers drove away the Polish prisoners, but the townspeople watched with interest, as if they were watching two people fight. The German soldiers were not innocent, but they were not very friendly either, because they did not have time to pay attention to the Poles. However, when searching for Polish soldiers, the German soldiers were also savage, like robbers.

Standing on the high platform, the captain shouted angrily, frightening the Polish people on the sidelines.

"I've got to catch him!"

The people around the captain were silent, the infantry company was ineffective just now, and the captain had been angry several times, but this time he was really angry. The infantry company's attack was seriously delayed, and it took several hours to march just over 10 kilometers, seriously delaying the overall speed.

After interrogating the Polish prisoners, the captain learned about the Polish second lieutenant commander Rog, who was Xiao Mubai, who had fled to the woods.

Although the captain wanted to capture Xiao Mubai, he didn't dare to disobey the military order, so he decided to arrest Xiao Mubai, but it had to be done before dark today, which was the guarantee he had just made in front of the colonel.

The Germans had to rest after dark and set off again at dawn, so there was only time in the afternoon.

Finding a map in the town, the captain quickly learned the general topography of the woods, the topography, the length, the depth, etc., and began to make a battle plan.

After resting for two hours, the captain left a platoon of soldiers to guard the Polish prisoners, and set off with two platoons of troops to encircle and suppress Xiao Mubai and them.

The captain set out at five o'clock in the afternoon, just in time for the soldiers to rest, and the weather was not too hot, as long as it went well, they would soon be caught. He took Charlie, a Polish prisoner who was a guide, to the woods, and under the guidance of the military dogs, he slowly touched the lurking position of the Polish army.

However, after Xiao Mubai's deployment, the Polish army detachment was on alert, and their traces were discovered shortly after the German search team entered the woods.

At 5:30 a.m., the battle broke out, and in the third defense area demarcated by Xiao Mubai, it was the instructor of the third squad of the Polish army who fired first, and the first shot killed the very threatening military dog that the Germans found from somewhere.

After the shooting, the squad quickly withdrew, and before the Germans found out, fled without a trace.

Having lost the military dog, it is difficult to find the traces of Polish soldiers, relying on German soldiers who are not familiar with the environment. This is the home of the Polish army, where they have an innate advantage.

The woods are very large, stretching from Wauć and Piva in Germany to the northeast to Bydgoszczk, Poland, about a hundred kilometers long. Yastrovy is a narrow strip of wood, thirty kilometers long and less than five kilometers wide. It's like a snake, which is very reminiscent of a word, a long snake array.

However, the long snake formation is not without shortcomings, after being cut off in the middle, it cannot be taken care of from end to end, and it is easy to break each other.

As long as such a large area of woods escaped into the depths of the jungle, out of the narrow strip of Yastrovy, it could almost be said to be safe, and it was difficult for the Germans to search for it. But the requirement of the system is not to escape, but to fight in Astrovi without the order of his superiors, so Xiao Mubai can only stay here.

At that time, when the gunshot rang out, Xiao Mubai was washing in the river. From the morning to now, Xiao Mubai finally had a short time to rest. After a long battle, Xiao Mubai's face was covered with stains, black gunsmoke and dark red blood stains, and when he wiped it just now, the handkerchief turned into a mess, but he didn't wipe it clean.

The river water was very clear, Xiao Mubai washed his face, and after washing his face, the breeze blew, and he suddenly felt refreshed, and his tiredness was swept away. After Xiao Mubai washed his face, he began to slowly pick up his handkerchief, touching the clear and cold river water with his hand, and looking at the beautiful rural scenery of Eastern Europe.

The breeze is blowing, the sun is setting in the west, and the clear river and lush woods are beside it, and even the hot and dry temperature is somewhat reduced.

The river runs through the woods, flows through the small town of Astrovi, and along the river, you can go all the way to Lundicek.

Xiao Mubai took off his military jacket, took off his wet military boots, put his feet in the clear river water, and then swayed slowly, chatting with the young soldiers around him.

"Ensign! How long are we going to be here? The young Polish soldier asked.

Xiao Mubai smoked a cigarette, his feet were shaking and playing in the water, and he said casually: "What? Aren't you used to it? Want to go back? ”

"Ensign, are we going to stay in the woods all the time?"

"We had to stay here without contacting the regimental headquarters and without being notified. Private, do you miss your mother? Xiao Mubai looked at the young Polish soldiers, as if he saw himself at the beginning, Chen Yiming on Baoshan Road in Shanghai in 1932.

couldn't contact their superiors, in fact, Xiao Mubai was not in a hurry, because at the moment they were also too busy to take care of themselves, and the German army's attack was aimed at the 100,000 Polish troops on the border, not just a small town of Astrovy. At this time, thousands of Yastrovi were attacked, and it was normal for the soldiers on both sides to be intertwined and not be able to contact each other.

From now on, you can only rely on yourself, and no one will come to the rescue. Xiao Mubai didn't tell them any of this. Sometimes, knowing more may not be happy. Just like now, Xiao Mubai knew that Poland would fall in a month, and it would be divided and occupied by Germany and the Soviet Union, so the resistance now seemed to be meaningless.

Xiao Mubai felt confused for the first time, before that, he had always thought that there was no need for a reason to resist, and resisting aggression was the biggest reason, and all kinds of reasons were needed if he didn't resist.

The end is inevitable, the resistance is futile, and from a humanitarian standpoint, this senseless bloodshed should be avoided. If it's pointless, why resist. Now that you know the result, why repeat a meaningless process.

This is a very controversial topic, Xiao Mubai can't think of an answer, but this does not prevent him from fighting, fighting with blood and steel guns, just like the unyielding in the original E big sanda trials. Maybe it was because of the task imposed by the system, maybe it was because of the pity for life, maybe it was because of the sympathy for the same disease, and it was because of the War of Resistance against Japan in Eastern China at this time.

Xiao Mubai was sitting by the river smoking when a gunshot suddenly rang out.
