Chapter 60 Arrival at the Port
Turning on the truck water tank is not a big problem, and the solution is very simple, as long as the water temperature is lowered.
These German soldiers should be logistics, thinking that the road is not far, and they do not carry water on their bodies to be so passive after the pot is boiled.
Pour the water from several people's kettles into the tank, although the temperature has not completely cooled down, but it is no longer a problem to make do with it.
To solve the problem of the car, the next thing to face is how to swagger through the German blockade, Chen Ming does not believe that the German army in the game is stupid, and will let more than a dozen French soldiers swagger away from the encirclement.
Of course, Chen Ming is not helpless.
The two German soldiers he killed were both hit on the head, and although some blood was splashed on their clothes, it did not prevent Chen Ming from using these clothes to change his clothes.
Chen Ming and Corporal Barre changed into two intact iron-colored uniforms, and the other four team members changed into another four to fake injuries.
The others were tied up by Chen Ming with a clever rope buckle and pretended to be prisoners.
Everything was ready, and Barre drove all the way to the port of Dunkirk.
The 65-kilometer journey, in this era, can be reached in an hour and a half under normal circumstances, but unfortunately it is now a state of war, and the road that originally leads to the port has been destroyed by the retreating British and French forces, and the German army in order to prevent the retreat of the French First Army, the road is even more rugged and difficult.
In an hour, their truck only drove more than 30 kilometers, and the roadblocks set up by the German army also encountered twice.
Lin Xue, who was stopped by Luka twice and pretended to be a prisoner in the rear car, was nervous to death, and both palms were soaked with sweat.
However, with Chen Ming here, plus a car of "wounded" people who need to be rushed to the hospital, these two times were passed without danger.
The two successful clearances also made Lin Xue feel a lot more relieved, and after driving another five or six kilometers, several people came to the third road card.
According to the experience of passing the previous two levels, Lin Xue was extremely relieved this time, but unfortunately, there was a problem in this third level.
This road card was guarded by four German soldiers, and when Barre familiarly told the German soldiers his intentions, the German soldiers did not let the group go over, but pointed to a few people on another road: "You are going in the wrong direction, there is the field hospital!" ”
Seeing the expressions of the German soldiers, Chen Ming knew that something bad was coming, their target was the port of Dunkirk, and the direction of Dunkirk had been blocked by the German army.
Under the pretext of sending the wounded, they estimated that they would go as far as here, and further on the line of fire of both sides of the war, and it was impossible to say how to put the wounded on the line of fire.
But fortunately, Chen Ming did not expect this situation, as he got closer to the war zone, this kind of problem would become more prominent.
Glancing at Barre, Chen Ming stepped down from the co-pilot's seat, walked to the German lieutenant familiarly, took out a cigarette and handed it over and asked, "We went wrong?" Damn the highway, what's going on up ahead? Is it still going well? ”
took out the lighter and lit it, the German ensign turned his head to make the fire, but this deflection of the head suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, Chen Ming's saber had been pierced into the ribs of the ensign who came over, and then a few gunshots rang out.
Several Luka guards, including the second lieutenant, were all killed.
"Go, speed, it doesn't look very peaceful ahead, everyone take their weapons!" Chen Ming didn't return to the co-pilot's seat, just hung outside the door, and Barre drove all the way forward.
After this road pass, a few gunshots could be heard from time to time in front of the road, and occasionally a fierce exchange of fire could be heard somewhere.
From afar, Chen Ming could already see the buildings in Dunkirk, but this did not make him feel at ease, but became more and more uneasy.
Legendary level missions, it can't be so simple, just like an outing to drive a car, without any danger to run over.
This is not an outing, this is war!
Chen Ming patted the car door a few times, motioned to Barre to stop the car, and said in everyone's puzzled eyes: "We walked on the road behind, and we always felt that our way was too smooth!" ”
"Isn't it going well? Do you have to fight to be happy? Lin Xue pouted that the boss was unhappy, although he could see the buildings in Dunkirk, but how could he say that it was still quite far, how tired it was to walk over!
"Let's go, I think something is wrong!" Corporal Barre also agreed with Chen Ming's opinion, if it was so safe, General Molinee would not have sent a squad of soldiers to escort him.
No matter how unhappy Lin Xue was, the group still got out of the car and walked, and a few people pretending to be wounded also took off their German uniforms, which was obviously inappropriate to wear at this time.
They had come from the city of Lille, and the port area of Dunkirk, although the two sides were on a staggered front, had to face the German attacking forces first.
With the help of the cover of the roadside, the group quickly passed through the relatively empty area and entered the complex town streets.
The size of the port town is not small, and it is obvious that it is a quiet and peaceful place, or it used to be.
Leaflets can be seen scattered everywhere on the street, and occasionally bullet holes and craters can be seen on one wall, apparently after repeated battles.
However, most of the buildings are still intact and have not been bombed too much.
From this point we can see what kind of attitude Goering had towards the bombing of Dunkirk, and this commander-in-chief of the air force is indeed a virtue beyond gold.
Twelve people still lined up in a standard action formation, sandwiching Lin Xue in the middle, everyone was cautious, and every corner of the street was full of twelve points.
In this complex terrain, you never know which hidden corner will shoot the bullet that will kill you.
As the group was moving forward, a gunshot rang out from behind the corner in front of them, and a bullet hit the wall on the other side, sending out a cloud of sparks.
Then, the sound of gunfire rang out, and listening to the sound, at least thirty people had a fierce exchange of fire.
Barre, who was at the front, rushed to the intersection in a few steps, took out a small mirror from his jacket pocket, and slowly stretched it out.
Then, he ran back and reported to Chen Ming: "Fifteen German soldiers, with their backs to us, seem to be exchanging fire with the British, should we..."
There was no time to think about the problem on the battlefield, and Chen Mingwei groaned slightly, and then agreed with Barre's opinion.
Leaving two men to stand guard behind, the others came out of the corner and killed all the German soldiers in just one round.
"I'd love to kill the British!" The battle ended quickly, without any pressure, and Barre looked at the few British soldiers standing up on the opposite side, and muttered angrily.
And most of the other soldiers who came with them did not have a good face, if it were not for the British retreating without a fight, and quietly retreating without informing the friendly forces, the French First Army would not have been surrounded by German troops in Lille at all, although the broken mission must have suffered heavy casualties, but it would not have been so aggrieved.
"French?" A British soldier on the opposite side stood up and glanced at the French soldiers who had saved their lives, but there was a hint of embarrassment and disdain in his tone: "Did you escape from Lille?" ”
Chen Ming frowned slightly, he didn't like the tone of this person's speech, as if he had some arrogant attitude.
"Watch what you say and do! British! This is..."Even more upset than Chen Ming was Barre, who was about to tell Chen Ming's identity, but was dragged by Chen Ming to stop talking.
"What is your job title? British, I need to know who you are! Chen Ming was the first to ask about the identity of the speaker.
"Asian?" This guy probably didn't notice Chen Ming at first, and it wasn't until he came out to speak that he asked in a surprised tone, "I'm Jonathan of the British Empire. Viscount William, Major of the Allied Forces! ”
Chen Ming was stunned, he didn't expect to meet such a young British viscount here, but he was not too surprised, he knew the tradition of the British army, these officers with knighthoods were usually the most brave on the battlefield.
"Well, Viscount William, if you don't mind, hurry to Dunkirk! I don't think it would be a good idea to chat here! Chen Ming spread his hands and put forward his own suggestion, it is not a good thing to chat on the battlefield where there may be enemies emerging at any time.
"We are ordered here to intercept all those who try to approach the port of Dunkirk! Until we are ordered to retreat or we die in battle! So, whether you are French or Asian, it is forbidden to pass here! "Viscount William did not mean to give way at all, but refused to let the Allies pass.
This situation surprised Chen Ming, he didn't expect that the British military high-level would actually give such an order, but the others were not surprised!
The French did not mind interpreting everything the British had done with the most malicious attitude, and when Barre heard William finish speaking, he raised his gun and pointed it at the head of the viscount on the spot, and his soldiers were not at all ambiguous, and more than a dozen guns of various colors were raised.
In this case, the British had no reason to retreat, there was a loud noise, and there were less than thirty people on both sides, and they became two camps with guns drawn against each other, and, looking at this state, they could really shoot at any time.
Barre didn't care about the person on the other side at all, and said disdainfully, "Let me guess, do you believe I'm going to shoot?" What bullshit to stop anyone! Will you stop the British when they come? Joke! ”
Chen Ming didn't expect things to develop to this extent, but his reaction was also fast, and instead of confronting the British with Barre's group, he stopped Barre's next words.
"I think we have a misunderstanding...", he raised his hand and lightly pressed Barre's gun, and said to Viscount William, "Put down the gun, we are still allies for the time being, aren't we?" ”
"Lay down your arms!" Viscount William stared at Chen Ming for a few seconds before commanding loudly.
"I think..."Chen Ming just said two words, but his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Get down!" ”
Immediately pounced forward, directly knocking Viscount William to the ground!
