Chapter 70: The Warren Fortress
Most of the German commandos of the Terespil Fortress are still blocked outside the fortress, and it is not impossible to take advantage of the chaos to get in, but the number is very small, and it basically does not cause any trouble, but the state of the Volyn Fortress next to it is very worrying.
The attacks on Chen Ming just now all came from the Warren Fortress, which at least shows that most of the Warren Fortress has been infiltrated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has fallen.
The second sniper position chosen by Chen Ming could not only suppress the German troops outside the Terespol fortress, but also have a good view of the direction of the Volyn fortress, which allowed him to provide limited support there, of course, if the Volyn fortress was not completely occupied.
"Lone wanderer, I think something is wrong!" Roy's voice came through the communicator.
"Tell me!" Chen Ming fired a shot at a German soldier with the rank of lieutenant outside the fortress, and after confirming the killing, he replied succinctly.
"Fortress Warren aside, why hasn't there been any movement in Fort Center? Don't they understand that if we are killed, they will not survive? Roy asked, confused.
"There is a saying in China that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, which means that if you don't have lips and teeth, you will be cold. It's impossible for them not to understand, then there are only two possibilities, one is that they have nothing to fear, and the other is that they are all dead! Chen Ming explained Roy's question while changing a sniper point.
The other party has a master, and he can't stay in the same place for too long, and he doesn't believe that the other party just didn't see him.
"Dead clean? Impossible, right? The central fort was not attacked too violently! I could hear that Roy was also moving the sniper point, and Roy in the communicator was running out of breath.
"Instead of thinking about the central fort, it's better to think about what to do with the Warren Fortress, it seems that it has fallen over there, and even if there is resistance, it is not very resolute, I don't want to look at both sides at the same time!" Chen Ming's worries came more from the Warren Fortress next to him, if they were really breached, they would become sandwich biscuits, or those delicious creams in the middle.
This question stopped Roy at once, and he didn't think about what to do if Warren Fortress was lost, but thinking about the rain of bullets pouring from both directions at the same time, he couldn't help but feel numb!
"Forget it, I'll take a look! At least now, it doesn't seem like there are a lot of people over there! Chen Ming killed a second lieutenant again, and from his direction, there was no particularly valuable sniper target.
"You're going to Warren Fortress? Myself? Alone? Roy asked incredulously.
"Yes, we have to send someone over and see what the hell is going on there! I don't want to die here for no apparent reason! And it's not about dying on an opponent we shouldn't have to face in the first place! Chen Ming put away his rifle and began to plan the route to Warren Fortress.
"Then you don't have to go! It's too dangerous! "Roy is still not at ease, sending a top sniper to carry out a reconnaissance mission is too extravagant!
"It's possible for me to come back, can you guarantee that the others will come back alive?" Chen Ming just asked lightly, after experiencing the baptism of his mind, he understood how to correct his mentality, which is an unrivaled self-confidence.
"Well, I can't convince you, and I don't dare to challenge with you, but you must be careful!" Roy also knew that it was imperative, so he gave a word of advice uneasily, and stopped asking.
Chen Ming sorted out the things he might use, and ran along the passage inside the fortress towards the Warren Fortress.
There is not much time, after fighting in the middle of the night, the sky is about to dawn, if you don't take advantage of the darkness to take a look, after dawn, the chance of him being found will increase too much.
There was also a bridge between the Volyn Fortress and the Terespil Fortress that they needed to defend, but Chen Ming didn't dare to swagger over the bridge.
Finding a window close to the Warren Fortress in the fortress and passing through the canal was more in line with Chen Ming's expectations.
The water in the early morning was very cold, but it did not hinder his movements, he quickly swam to the position he had been optimistic about before, and after careful observation to make sure that no one around noticed, Chen Ming quietly climbed ashore from the water.
The conditions on this side of the Volyn Fortress were even more miserable than the Terespil Fortress they defended, the ground was full of rubble, it was almost impossible to get off your feet, and from the rubble, you could occasionally see the corpses of Soviet or German soldiers who had fallen in battle.
Try not to make a sound in the direction of the fortress, this usually quite simple work, Chen Ming took five minutes to complete, the terrain is too complicated, too harsh.
From a large hole in the fortress wall that had been blown open to the inside of the fortress, he was in a passage, leading to different places on the left and right, and strangely inside, the inside of the fortress was unusually quiet, there was no firefight, no roar, not even the slightest sound of conversation.
This is not at all the environment that should be inside a fortress that is in a state of engagement, Chen Ming is very careful, for the sake of the enemies who may appear at any time, and for the sake of this strange environment.
The construction of the fortress took into account the street battles after being invaded into the interior, so the construction of the passages was extremely complicated, and it would be impossible to distinguish the correct path if it were not for the soldiers stationed here all the year round.
Chen Ming casually picked a direction and moved forward cautiously, and traces of battle could be seen from time to time along the way.
Maybe it's a pool of blood, maybe it's the blood stains left on the wall when a soldier was killed, the craters of bullets on the walls, the grenades. Bullet marks left behind by the explosion, discarded rifles, all sorts.
When passing by a few guns, Chen Ming squatted down and checked them, there were kar.98k, MG34 used by the German army, and there was also Mosin-Nagant of the Soviet Union.
This shows that there was a very fierce resistance in this passage, but I don't know why the gun was dropped here.
After walking a little further, Chen Ming was startled by a defensive position that was obviously arranged, he almost thought that he would die here, but obviously, this defensive position was also abandoned.
Judging from the surrounding environment, it is clear that it fell after fierce resistance, with bullet casings all over the ground, and dense bullet marks on the walls, ground, and even roofs.
In the direction where Chen Ming came, various bloodstains showed that at least more than twenty attackers had died here.
After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Ming cautiously approached this bunker, there were more traces of battle here, the sandbags that were riddled with holes, and the brass bullet casings on the ground were almost covered with two layers, so that Chen Ming almost slipped when he accidentally went up.
Carefully dodging the shot holes that had been deliberately stacked, Chen Ming flipped over the sandbag, and the situation here was almost as tragic as the attacker he had just seen.
It should be a cluster grenade. The bomb emptied this place, behind the sandbag, there was an open space of about a meter, and there was nothing there, it should be a cluster grenade. The point where the bullet landed, the explosion blew all the debris away, and the debris that blew away became an accomplice to the explosion, attacking all the flesh and blood in the range.
On this side of the bunker, three Dzhegalev light machine guns were placed on four firing positions, and next to them were several empty cartridges and ammunition boxes, all of which had been destroyed.
What caught Chen Ming's attention was not this, but the fourth shooting hole, where a corpse was lying there, this was the first time Chen Ming saw a corpse after entering the Warren Fortress.
He walked up and carefully observed, but did not dare to touch the corpse, which was obviously not the officer and soldier of the fortress, but a gamer like him.
Who knows if this is a trick thunder laid by a master, and countless people have been killed on it.
And the first thing that caught his attention was the gun that was still on the firing position, a gun that should never be here: the American-made M1941 light machine gun.
It was precisely because of this machine gun that Chen Ming confirmed the identity of this guy.
Carefully bypassing the corpse, he came to the machine gun, and he was surprised to find that the machine gun was still intact, at least from the outside, there was no damage.
Moreover, there are two barrels stuck in the sandbags next to the machine gun, and four fully loaded magazines are also placed in a convenient position.
Holding the sandbag with one hand and lifting the handle of the machine gun with the other, he wanted to see why the gun was placed here, but the result was unexpected, and the system prompted him to obtain an M1941 light machine gun.
The first thing that came to his mind was that it was a trap! Since he can get it, it means that this is the player's equipment, and in any case, a machine gun, the machine gun that the player can equip cannot be left here.
But the strange thing is that he didn't find any traces of traps, nor did he find any factors that could threaten his safety, which made the already somewhat weird atmosphere even more weird.
Putting the machine gun away, he suddenly wanted to see if the three Deggarev light machine guns could also be used, but unfortunately, the system prompted that they were damaged and could not be repaired.
Of course, it's not irreparable, but it can't be repaired by the player, from Chen Ming's point of view, these three machine guns have been dismantled, how can they be put together in good condition.
Hiding in the bunker, Chen Ming curiously checked the attributes of the machine gun and found that this machine gun was not only intact, but also a legendary-level thing.
Scratching his head in confusion, Chen Ming put away the windfall, of course, those barrels and a few magazines were not let go.
Continuing to search, there was no cover along the way, but the traces of the battle remained, and as the search gradually reached the upper level of the fortress, the bodies of both sides were found from time to time, and broken firearms and the like abounded.
It's just that along the way, I haven't seen a single living person, whether it is the German army or the Soviet army, whether it is the offensive team or the defensive team.
This strong sense of disobedience was like a boulder pressing on Chen Ming's heart, making his heart vigilant and gloomy at the same time.
The search had reached the third floor of the fortress, and when he passed by a room with an open door, Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, this room was obviously the residence or office of the high-level commander of the fortress, and what caught his attention were the obviously artificially stacked tables and chairs by the window and the footprints on the dust leading to the door.
Carefully enter the room, there is no danger, all kinds of documents are scattered on the ground, sundries, glass shards also abound.
Carefully walked to the window and looked at the position where the tables and chairs were stacked, and Chen Ming's pupils shrank sharply.
This position is the location where the fatal bullet was just fired at him, and this deadly poisonous snake hidden in the shadows was finally touched by Chen Ming with a clue.
