Chapter 133: Decoupling

This is obviously a good exit, because it is almost a natural fortress between the chassis of the train and the rails.

Of course, the boxes of ammunition on the head are still terrifying.

As soon as he got out of the train, Shulka was relieved, because the guerrillas were obviously unprofessional, and he attacked the train with a flashlight.

It's normal, the Ukrainian rebels ...... They are most likely the peasants who have left their hoes and carried a gun.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and one of the enemies was knocked to the ground.

Shulka didn't even see what his opponent looked like, he only saw the light of the flashlight and the rhythmic bouncing up and down, which allowed Shulka to guess the enemy's position and fired a shot.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out.

When the enemy was killed, the flashlight fell to the ground and sent a ray of light to the side, which caused Shulka to catch a dark shadow and pull the trigger in time.

There was a scream in the darkness, and Shulka knew he had hit, but he wasn't sure where it had hit.

"Bang!" The shot hit an enemy who was close to the train.

Shulka hadn't spotted him until then, as he seemed to be lying in ambush next to the carriage...... As Major Gavrilov said, this guy was probably ready to throw a grenade into the compartment the moment the door opened.

But he didn't see the door open, but heard a gunshot from under the car, so he walked a few steps curiously and bent down to check the situation under the car.

This is also a manifestation of the opponent's lack of combat experience...... At this point, he should have set off a grenade and threw it under the car.

But perhaps, he wanted to find out whether it was the enemy or his own people under the car, after all, he didn't understand why the enemy appeared under the car out of thin air.

But then again, what would he see even if he bent down to inspect the situation? It was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

So, it's actually his habitual action...... As I said before, if you want to become a warrior, you have to break some peacetime habits.

The foe had no chance, for just as he was bent over to take a look, Shulka aimed at his head and pulled the trigger at close range...... He didn't snort before falling off the tracks.

"Well played!" Major Gavrilov, who had just come down and was lying next to Shulka, praised and at the same time raised his pistol and shot outwards with a "bang".

One by one, the other fighters raised their guns and fired, and the flashlight light fell one by one.

Then, the enemy suddenly realized what was going on, and only heard someone shout: "Turn off the flashlight, they are shooting according to the light of the flashlight!" ”

So the flashlights were turned off one by one, and the surroundings fell into darkness in an instant, and even the gunshots stopped, only the rain rustled.

"These traitors!" Major Gavrilov gritted his teeth and cursed.

Shulka knew why Major Gavrilov was scolding like that, because the shouting was in Ukrainian...... Although Ukrainian and Russian have many things in common, there are some differences that are easy to discern.

But Shulka didn't have time to think about it by this time, because the sound of footsteps sounded on both sides.

Major Gavrilov glanced at Shulka.

Shulka understood what Major Gavrilov meant, he sensed the crisis...... The guerrillas, although inexperienced in combat, were not stupid. They knew that in this case, there was no need or need to launch a strong attack on the bottom of the carriage where Shulka and the others were hiding, or a frontal assault.

They can occupy both sides of the train, i.e., the head and tail, first...... The fighters in the head and tail were not as lucky as Shulka and the others, because their first instinct was to open the carriage door.

Needless to say, the result was that at this time, they were afraid that they had fallen in a pool of blood.

Then, all the partisans had to do was throw a bag of explosives into the car full of ammunition, or throw a few grenades under the car from the flanks close to Shulka's car.

Yakov also sensed the danger of being surrounded, so he nervously asked: "What to do, Comrade Major?" ”

Yakov was right to ask Major Gavrilov, because when the battle began, the highest-ranking officer was the commander, so of course it was Major Gavrilov who asked.

But Major Gavrilov soon shifted the blame to Shulka.

"This should be asked to the second lieutenant, Comrade Yakov!" Major Gavrilov said: "It is up to him to command the battle!" ”

Shulka couldn't help but feel angry.

This is not a simple matter, the guerrillas are not of high quality, but they are numerous, and even worse, time is pressing...... There is only a few minutes to think, otherwise the whole train will "boom".

Of course, a chain explosion is unlikely, because this was taken into account from the very beginning of the shipment, so it was one car loaded with ammunition and two cars loaded with supplies spaced apart, otherwise the safety of train transportation would be too poor.

But even this is very detrimental to Shulka and others.

But what can Shulka do?

Kill out?

Outnumbered in the dark, they don't even know where the enemy is, and the enemy may be out and ready to point their guns at the point.

After thinking about it, Shulka said, "Go back!" ”

"What?" Yakov didn't understand, and neither did Major Gavrilov.

"Yakov!" Shulka ordered: "Climb to the other end, unhook our carriage, and the rest of the people return to the carriage!" ”

The fighters sounded a little confused, could this have any effect?

But Major Gavrilov understood, so he added: "Do as the second lieutenant ordered, move quickly!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered.

Then, one of the fighters crawled for a while and whispered: "I understand!" ”

"What?" Yakov asked.

"We're on the slopes!"

"So what?"

……

And then Yakov also understood: "After the carriage is unhooked, it will slide down the slope, and we will be able to disengage from the partisans?" ”

"Yes!" Another warrior replied: "So that we can escape from their encirclement!" ”

This is exactly what Shulka thinks, the carriage does not always need to be pulled by a locomotive to maneuver, gravity can also.

The problem is that Shulka doesn't know how long and steep the slope is......

If it's long, steep and at a sharp bend, or if there's a cliff at the other end, the train will take them off the rails.

Shulka wanted to remember the train before it was blown up, but he couldn't.

However, this does not seem to make much sense, because in any case, Shulka has no other choice at this point.
