Chapter 773: The End (Part II)
After that, the Soviets tried to enter the woods to find their lost troops, but before they could enter the woods, they were repulsed by the Germans who were lying in ambush inside. Later www.biquge.info I don't know if it was the escaped Soviet tank that made contact with them, or if they had completely given up on this difficult task, which was too great, and in short, they no longer planned to do it here.
Although it has been confirmed that there is probably no threat on his side for the time being, Troude's side cannot be completely taken lightly, after all, the next retreat will still take a lot of effort.
It didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and everyone's stomachs began to growl, but because of the haste in which they withdrew from their positions, they did not carry any food, which also caused the infantry to have nothing to eat except for some rations they had with them.
However, due to the defeat in the battle, the squadron leader had also died, and everyone was almost in no mood to eat, although they were very hungry, but their stomachs could not put anything. Seeing this, Trode had no choice but to sit on a remote rock and let time slip by.
Although Alicia came over to talk to him during this time, it was impossible for Trode to think about it even if he wanted to. After all, before this battle, he had promised Butter Meats that he would definitely get a good result in this battle.
But as a result, not only did not there be a good result, but the battle itself ended in failure, and the squadron leader of the friendly unit also died, which was quite a heavy loss.
In addition, although his own team did not suffer losses, to a certain extent, this is not a good thing - the friendly side is in tatters, but his own side is unscathed, which is boring no matter how you look at it, although this is not the case......
In this way, in the dreary air, the Germans spent several hours on their side, and finally stayed up late at night. Although the area around here was all German chassis before, but now the high ground has been occupied by the Soviets, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers, so even if they retreat, they must be extremely cautious.
With little discussion, Trod and the others made a plan to retreat in the second half of the night, and they could only pray that the Soviets would not move too quickly, and that they had not yet set up patrolling units in the vicinity.
Although these few hours were theoretically used for these soldiers to rest, in reality, from Trode and the adjutant of the infantry unit to the ordinary soldiers, they were not able to rest well, and everyone was fighting in front of the paper, this dull atmosphere has not disappeared, and this naturally makes these soldiers more tired.
After a whole day of fighting, coupled with these few hours of worry, many soldiers had almost no physical strength to retreat, but considering that the Soviet reinforcements were likely to arrive tomorrow, it was the best and last time to retreat late at night, even if it was uncomfortable, it had to endure.
Thankfully, although the unlit retreat made Trod and his team take a lot of detours, there were no enemy attacks or pursuits along the way. Although Trode had thought of several ways to deal with the enemy in the retreat in the previous few hours, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't choose the best way, because now he was not only inferior in terms of troops, but also completely behind the Soviet army in morale, soldier physical strength and many other aspects.
After more than two hours of advancing in the darkness of the night, Trood and the others finally saw the friendly troops, and everyone was relieved. While the rest of the men could rest, neither could Trode and the lieutenant of the infantry unit. The two of them immediately contacted each other's superiors and informed them that they had retreated safely. Although the adjutant had already expressed to the above before retreating that the position could no longer be held, Trode did not, although he knew in his heart that he had no hope of counterattacking, but there was a feeling that made him not do that, probably because he had not given up subconsciously......
But at this point, Trode had nothing to hide, he gritted his teeth and reported the situation to the headquarters, and the people there said that they would report it immediately after receiving Trode's information, and then he didn't say anything to Trode and hung up the phone. At this time, Trode was still a little glad that it was not Buttermouth himself who answered the phone, or he didn't know how to explain it to Buttermate.
Trode hung up, and when he turned around, he found Alicia standing behind him with a worried expression. He sighed a little helplessly and said to him, "It's good that Buttermeth didn't pick it up over there...... That way, at least until I go back, I can still have a good life......"
Trode couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly as he spoke. And Alicia, who was standing opposite, was even more heartbroken when she saw this smile, but the words of comfort had been said before, and now even if she repeats it again, it is estimated that it is useless, so she had to say bitterly: "Trana and Hilde also wanted to come over to comfort you before, but they all sent me back to rest." ”
"The two of them...... "Trood scratched his head, "young man...... It's better to rest a little longer, people like us, it doesn't matter if you stay up a little more. ”
"Cut, how old are you!" Alicia couldn't help but laugh and said, "No matter how you talk, you look like an old grandfather." ”
"Grandpa? I don't want to admit it, but it's pretty much the same. As he spoke, Trode looked up at the starry sky in the sky, and because there were so many clouds to-night, he could hardly see a few stars, and when he saw them, he thought of another person......
"Actually, I always thought that my experience of more than a year was enough to make people grow, and I carried enough things on my body." Troude's face darkened, and he looked at him and said, "That man, the man who looks like me, after hearing his deeds, I realized that he has a lot more on his back than I do. ”
"So?" Alicia was a little incredulous, for he knew exactly how much Trode was carrying. (To be continued.) )
