Chapter 9: The Wrath of the Bandits

"Bring them here." Colonel Kuba said viciously.

Soon, the three bare-handed Germans were brought before Colonel Kuba.

"Give me your name and number, and tell me where you come from." Colonel Coopa said to one of the leading majors through an interpreter.

"Mr. Colonel, I am Luftwaffe Major Heinz von Rosen, and I have been ordered to come and negotiate a ceasefire with you." Chen Dao said.

Cease fire? Colonel Kuba condescendingly looked at the German major on the opposite side suspiciously, only to see that the major was wearing a worn steel helmet, and there was a maple leaf-shaped hole about five centimeters in diameter on the top of the steel helmet, in which golden hair and white bandages leaked.

The major looked to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his face was covered in black ash and splattered gun oil, and even then, Major Coopa could tell that the major was a standard German handsome.

Colonel Kuba asked: "What ceasefire?" ”

Chen Dao said: "There are many wounded soldiers of your army around the village of Warang, especially on the grass to the east, and there are some in the village, but the number is relatively small, we lack enough medicine to treat them, and we can't bear to see them lying on the ground bleeding to death, so I have been ordered to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with you." ”

Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, Chen Dao continued: "It's 4:35 now, I suggest that the two sides start at 4:50, the two sides will cease fighting for two hours, and your army can send unarmed personnel to treat your wounded, or carry them back for treatment." ”

After Chen Dao finished speaking, he stared at Colonel Kuba, waiting for his reaction.

Colonel Kuba's brain was at full brim, wondering if there was some conspiracy in this armistice? After thinking for a while, it occurred to Colonel Kuba that it was evident from the battle just now that the Germans had at least two battalions of troops here, and that there was no way to defeat two battalions of the enemy with the remnants of the army, who had now lost all their heavy weapons, and that the rest of the time could only be done to rescue the wounded, and perhaps to summon some reinforcements.

What would the Germans on the other side think? Stalling for reinforcements? Or do you delay the time to make the fortifications stronger? Colonel Coopa is unknown.

"Well, on behalf of the wounded, I thank you for the armistice, and from 4:50 a.m., we have a two-hour ceasefire." Colonel Kouba had doubts in his heart, but he had to agree to the other party's proposal, after all, it was very demoralizing to let the wounded on the ground wail there.

"Then it's settled, Mr. Colonel, remember that it's from four fifty to six fifty, don't mistake the time." Chen Dao said.

"You can go." Colonel Kuba coldly gave the order to evict the guests.

Returning to the village of Warang with the two paratroopers, Chen Dao made a gesture to the Stud who came to greet him with everything done.

Student motioned for Chen Dao to come with him, and the two walked to a secluded place, where Student said to him, "Major Rosen, can you tell me the purpose of your operation?" ”

"I understand your feelings, General Studenter, and you must think in your heart by now that I am a daredevil. You have been ordered to keep me safe, and I have no regard for your feelings, and I have always taken some risky actions, as is the case in the village of Valen, and I have run away to negotiate with the Poles, but I hope you will understand my feelings. Chen Dao said with a serious face.

Student was originally angry about Chen Dao's unauthorized action, but now he suddenly saw Chen Dao's open and honest appearance, so he temporarily suppressed the idea of kidnapping Chen Dao and stuffing Chen Dao into the plane, and said to Chen Dao: "Please tell me what you think, Major Rosen." ”

Chen Dao unbuttoned the wind and discipline button on his neckline to make his breathing easier.

"General Studenter, do you know, I'm angry right now, in just over an hour of fighting, I was shelled twice by the Poles, twice," Chen Dao said with two fingers stretched out of his right hand.

Chen Dao lowered his head, pointed to the hole in the top of the steel helmet and said, "See, this is the memorial left to me by the Poles." ”

Hearing Chen Dao's story, seeing the broken steel helmet, Student sweated, and his heart became more determined to kidnap Chen Dao, and said that fortunately, His Excellency the brother-in-law was fine, otherwise His Excellency the Commander would definitely not hesitate to send himself to the military court for dereliction of duty.

"If you add yesterday's one, I've been shelled by the Poles three times in two days." Chen Dao said.

After listening to Chen Dao's words, Student had already made up his mind to tie up people as soon as this conversation was over, and then contact the Air Force to send a plane to pick them up.

"I'm a very vengeful person, and God taught us to take blood for blood and tooth for tooth, so I must take revenge." Chen Dao said menacingly.

"That's why I personally went out and lured them to this village and let them spend the night here, and only then can I get out of this bad breath." Chen Dao said.

"You don't need to seduce them, they'll spend the night in this village." Student said.

"That's not for sure, they might escape, that's why I used the wounded as bait to take them to the village of Valang, where they will spend the night tonight, and if they dare to spend the night here, we have already won half of this battle." Chen Dao said.

"Well, thank you for your efforts, now that the Poles have agreed to an armistice, it is time for us to act according to plan." As he spoke, Student looked around, waved a few paratroopers to prepare to kidnap them.

"General Student, Major Rosen, so you're here." Lieutenant Randolph suddenly came down to the two with a dozen men.

"Lieutenant Randolph, you're finally here, I think I've finally helped you get the cannon back, you come with me." Chen Dao said hello to Student and walked to the east of the village with a cheerful Randolph.

The appearance of Lieutenant Randolph disrupted Student's kidnapping plan, and looking at the departing Chen Dao and Randolph, Stud had to temporarily shelve his kidnapping plan and continue to carry out the battle plan.

To the east of the village, Lieutenant Chen Dao and Lieutenant Randolph walked past a few Polish soldiers who had come to treat the wounded and walked over to a few heavily armed paratroopers who were protecting their booty.

Pointing to the two 75-mm infantry guns and nine 37-mm anti-tank guns in a neat row, Chen Dao said: "These are the cannons that the Poles gave us, and now they belong to you." ”

Lieutenant Randolph and his men cheered and rushed forward, although they had previously operated 105mm howitzers, but after some fiddling with them, they became familiar with the use of these guns, and after inspection, Lieutenant Randolph and his men found that only one 75mm infantry gun and six 37mm anti-tank guns were intact, and the others were damaged to varying degrees.

Looking at his watch, Chen Dao found that it was almost six o'clock, so he said to Lieutenant Randolph, who was fiddling with the artillery, "We are retreating, take these cannons and follow me." ”

・・・・・・

To the north of the village of Valan, the Polish infantry, in addition to bringing back many wounded soldiers, brought the startling news that the German troops in the village of Valan had retreated.

Colonel Kuba hurried up to the high ground, took the binoculars and looked at the village of Valan, and clearly saw the Germans carrying the wounded and corpses along the road to the south with door panels, and as time passed, the German troops in the village of Valan finally withdrew, and after climbing a gentle slope, the figure of the German army disappeared into Colonel Kuba's telescope.

"Colonel, the Germans left a message before they left, they placed some of our wounded on the side of the village road, hoping that we would take care of them."

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Colonel Kuba ordered the reconnaissance company to follow the Germans to find out where the Germans were going, and then ordered the whole army to set off and occupy the village of Valen.
