Chapter 8: The Show Begins
He lit the cigarette in his hand and took two puffs.
The unprocessed tobacco is spicy and slides down the tip of the tongue all the way to the lungs.
After carefully combing through the things he had just seen and heard, Chen Ming squinted his eyes and pondered: "It seems to be very interesting, you should be able to use it!" He took another puff of cigarette and exhaled a long smoke: "If you go down this way, maybe you can stew in one pot!" ”
After thinking about it, Chen Ming snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, put the cigarette fart in his pocket, and gently knocked on the colonel's door.
"Please come in!" The Colonel's calm voice came from inside the room.
Push the door to enter and lock the door with your backhand.
Hearing the sound of locking the door, the colonel looked up from a pile of documents in surprise, and found that it was Chen Ming, who had gone and returned, and was also slightly stunned.
"Lone Wanderer, what's the matter with you?" The colonel put down the pen in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you just say that you had something to do?" ”
"Colonel Cassimilz! I have some things I would like to talk to you about, and I think they are worth your time and half an hour or more. Smiling and walking to the colonel's desk, Chen Ming said to the colonel very meaningfully.
An hour later, the door to the colonel's office opened, and Chen Ming walked out first, followed by the colonel.
"I still can't trust you 100%, Lone Wanderer." The colonel's face was gloomy and his tone was serious: "But I'll pay attention, then, you can do what you want, and I'll restrain them from going to your trouble." ”
Chen Ming bowed slightly: "Thank you for your trust, Colonel." And I promise that trust will be rewarded. ”
"I hope so, but I hope it's not true!" The colonel replied with a cold face.
Without saying anything more, Chen Ming saluted and turned to leave.
Walking to the road, he glanced at the countdown prompted by the system, there were still 141 hours, enough for him to do what he wanted to do, and the delay of these two hours was not without gain.
Stepping on the war horse, Chen Ming rode his horse in the direction of the German garrison.
Colonel Cassimilz closed the door, and all that flashed to his mind was what the private had just said.
"A strange guy." The old colonel grunted as he smacked his pipe.
"I don't know if what he said can be done, but there are some things that can be verified." The old colonel lit his pipe and took two puffs, and the smoke filled the room, as if he had made up his mind.
Putting on his military cap, the colonel walked slowly to the training ground outside, although the regular training was still going on here, the old colonel could feel the restlessness and restlessness of these soldiers.
Just a few months ago, the German mustache arrogantly announced that Poland must obey the German dispatch and take back Pomerania, which belonged to Poland.
Although there was a guarantee from Britain and France, it was still up to the old colonel to fight for his own interests, which the old colonel had always firmly believed.
But now...
The old colonel's gaze slowly swept over the young people in front of him, and it was undeniable that in terms of military strength, there was still a gap between the unit he was in and the German troops.
It's not just about the equipment, it's more about the mentality.
I hate to admit it, but the mustache was a genius, and his speech was so inciteant that it was like the temptation of the devil to be irresistible.
The Colonel couldn't help but think of the young man called the Lone Wanderer just now, what an interesting man.
Perhaps most of the people in the camp still looked at the private with a joke mentality, but his analysis of the situation was nothing short of brilliant.
It was a kind of vision of a superior being, as sharp as God looked down on the earth.
And now, I want to verify whether some of what he said will be as accurate as his analysis.
The colonel calmly walked up to the wooden platform in front of the playground, cleared his throat, and said to the junior officers who had just been gathered below: "You may be puzzled by my sudden summoning, but it doesn't matter, I have only come to announce an order, an order that has just been obtained!" ”
The officers in the audience all looked at each other when they heard the order they had just received, and they had not heard of any new orders before, and there was a lot of noise.
The colonel waved his hand, stopped the commotion of his officers, and unfolded a prepared order in his hand and read: "Order, the 18th Cavalry Regiment, join up with the Kisesk battalion of the National Defense, and prepare to attack the 76th Infantry Regiment on the left flank of the German army, above!" ”
After reading the order, the colonel folded the paper in his hand and put it in his coat pocket, and continued: "All the officers below the captain will return to the camp for rectification and set off in four hours. Those with the rank of captain and above, come to my office for a meeting! ”
After saying this, the colonel walked to his office without looking back. Before leaving, his eyes swept over Captain Alex, which was not seen by Alex, but the Colonel felt deep disappointment.
Chen Ming, who was galloping on his horse, suddenly received a system prompt: Congratulations on triggering and completing the hidden task: the undetermined person! Rewards will be settled after the battle ends.
Chen Ming smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and didn't pay much attention to this prompt, because although he didn't know that this was also a task, Yuniz's words still moved Chen Ming.
Moreover, doing these things is also for their own tasks.
Riding a horse in the forest is not as good as the plains, and you should always be careful not to be shot down from the horse's back by the branches that grow horizontally, which makes Chen Ming feel extremely painful.
And after galloping for an hour, Chen Ming found that the attribute of physical strength had changed from good to tired, and looking at the color of the font, it didn't seem to be difficult to become tired.
Chen Ming lamented, he was used to sitting in various types of military vehicles, and now the taste of using horses to drive was really uncomfortable, and this hour, he felt that his waist was about to be broken.
After looking around, according to the colonel, the German garrison was probably more than thirty kilometers from the camp. After running for an hour, I should have almost been able to see the peripheral troops of the German army.
With a light pull on the reins, letting the horse's speed slow down, Chen Ming sat up straight and looked into the distance.
The jungle is coming to an end, and a few hundred meters ahead is the junction between the jungle and the flat land, and on that flat land, you can see a vague piece of camp tents.
Turned over and dismounted, sorted out the equipment on his body again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he turned his hand back and slapped at the war horse, and the war horse did not neigh, and ran away at a trot.
"The old horse knows the way!" Chen Ming sighed slightly, cleaned up his mood, and the next few days were his own performances.
Chen Ming's original plan was nothing esoteric, he was not a staff officer of the War Department, he would not command a large army to rush and kill, he was just a sniper, and he would only use a sniper to solve problems.
But when he realized that there were some things that could not be solved by snipers alone, and that he had to use some means other than to kill people, he began to pay attention to some other information and experimented with it a little.
Looking at the time, there were still 139 hours for him to complete his vision, which was enough.
Before leaving, Chen Ming still had some things to confirm for the last time, and he called the system.
"Hello Lone Wanderer! How can I help you? ”
Chen Ming exhaled and said slowly, "If I complete all six tasks together, will there be an additional reward?" ”
"Please wait, inquiry. After the query, now for you to answer, your question, the answer is yes, if you complete 6 tasks at the same time, then, your reward will increase geometrically, the specific increase depends on the difficulty of completing the task. Is there anything else I can do to help you? ”
"No, thank you."
Confirming this answer, Chen Ming muttered quietly: "This is called training." And then, it's what I'm better at. ”
For two hours, Chen Ming lay motionless only a dozen meters away from the observed camp.
It took him an hour to find this place, and thanks to this era, snipers were not as systematic as they were decades later.
Otherwise, there would be no such undisturbed dead end on the outskirts of the camp.
Now Chen Ming is just silently observing, he needs some information, and no one will send this information to him to laugh.
The opportunity soon appeared, a detached soldier, holding a cigarette, swayed in the direction of Chen Ming, and turned back to say something to his companion as he walked.
And he, without noticing in the slightest, was that in the direction he was going, there was a bush growing a little abruptly.
Lying on the ground, looking at this hanging German, the iron-gray military uniform, the epaulettes showed that this should be the leader of the small group just now.
"An ensign, it should bring more news." Chen Ming thought to himself.
Three meters.
Two meters.
The moment the second lieutenant sensed that something was wrong, Chen Ming made a move.
And instead of using the saber that got in the way, he used his nimble hands.
One punch!
Hit directly in the stomach of this unlucky bastard.
The pain caused him to bend over, and the cry that blurted out was suppressed by the intense feeling of vomiting.
Agile and staggered, he turned to the back of the second lieutenant, and his thick and powerful arms wrapped around the second lieutenant's neck.
Then he pounced forward, and the unlucky second lieutenant was crushed to the ground, and the bush decorated behind Chen Ming once again disguised the place where the fight had just passed into a bush.
All this in less than three seconds.
At the moment of falling down, Chen Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart: "It's so troublesome, how good it is to have a Geely suit!" ”
This thought only turned in my mind for a moment, and then I turned my attention to the matter at hand.
Tightly wrapped around the second lieutenant's neck, and after more than ten seconds, when the second lieutenant was about to be strangled, Chen Ming slowly loosened his strength.
Years of experience on the battlefield have taught him that this feeling of being on the verge of death will make the enemy in front of him even tell how old he is to peek at the underwear of the little girl in the neighborhood.
"Hello, sir! I think I have something to ask you, and I hope you'll be happy to tell me about it! He brought his mouth to the captive's ear and spoke slowly.
Feeling the slow and calm breathing of the captives under him, Chen Ming slowly let go of his arm.
Then, at the moment when he was about to shout, he stepped up his strength again, and the "gurgling" sound of choking in his chest and throat came from under him.
Well, maybe that feeling doesn't make him speak, so let's do it again.
"Sir, you must know that I am very sincere, but what you do makes me doubt your honesty!" With the speed of speaking, Chen Ming tightened his strength little by little.
Watching the firmness in the second lieutenant's eyes slowly turn into panic and despair, and slowly rolling his eyes, Chen Ming relaxed his strength again: "Can I trust you?" If not, I wouldn't mind coming back a few more times! ”
Looking at the fear in the lieutenant's eyes, knowing what he could hear, he asked softly, "What's your name?" Mr! ”
He let go of his arm and waited quietly for an answer, he knew what to inquire about, and it was best to start with something inconsequential.
"My name is Leo. Harder! Sir, you can call me Leo. The lieutenant said with a little panic and panic.
"Well, Mr. Leo, you need to relax! It's a pity it's not Warsaw, otherwise I could have treated you for a drink! Chen Ming fed him a date.
"I thank you, sir, for not knowing anything I can do for you!" Ensign Leo froze, feeling as if he didn't have to die here.
"I want to know where the military correspondent from Germany is, oh yes, and two of his Italian counterparts." Chen Ming asked cautiously.
"Journalists?" Second Lieutenant Leo obviously didn't expect Chen Ming to ask this, and was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Yes, those three reporters, don't you know?"
Feeling the unkind aura behind him, Ensign Leo hurriedly said, "I know, I know!" Are you talking about Messrs. Indro, Aangzo and Octavio? ”
Calling up the mission log and comparing the three names, Chen Ming said affirmatively: "That's right, it's these three gentlemen, can you tell me where they are?" ”
"They're at the regimental headquarters! With the regimental commander. Yes, I'm sure! Ensign Leo replied hurriedly.
"Oh, regimental command! Where is the Command? ”
"It's about three kilometers west from here, and it's two hours down the road!" Leo replied truthfully, and then asked, "Can you not kill me?" I'm not going to talk about it! ”
Chen Ming smiled and said, "I'm sorry!" ”
Then, with a force of both hands, he broke Ensign Leo's neck.
Then he apologized and continued, "No! ”
