Chapter 102: Ambush
"Huhu・・・・・・ Captain Ivan, we're running so tired now, and when the time comes, we may not be able to beat the opponent!" A Soviet officer asked as he ran. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Who said that we must fight the enemy head-to-head, as long as we follow the enemy firmly and keep putting pressure on them, we can force the enemy to speed up and run away, and consume the enemy's physical strength in the process of pursuit. We just have to keep up, time is on our side, and the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. Now let's take a five-minute break. A confident smile appeared on Captain Ivan's cold face, and he picked up the kettle and raised his head to take a sip of water.
Koval and his troops continued to walk for another hour, another two kilometers, and there happened to be a small dirt slope more than 20 meters high and 100 meters long running across the forest. The rearguard troops descended the small dirt slope, and Koval immediately ordered: "The rearguard troops stay, and the rest of the troops continue to advance."
Alex, Locke, Parker, no matter what the fighting is here, don't come back. If I fail, you take the rest of your troops and leave the excess artillery and ammunition behind and walk back with food!
The rearguard troops formed positions along this hillside, and all men and all weapons had to be concealed. I'll check later, and I won't find a person, a muzzle, or an obtrusive position. ”
"Sir, you take the troops and go first, and I'll stay." Locke said excitedly.
"Yes, sir, let me come!" Alex said, patting his chest.
"Sir, it's too dangerous for you to do this." Parker objected.
"I'm going to win, don't think I'm dead. Execute the command! Koval said solemnly.
Locke and the others slowly walked away with their troops. The rest of the soldiers, who had been selected for the rearguard, began to build concealed fortifications along the low hillsides.
Koval walked along the hillside, directing his troops to build improvised fortifications without destroying the overall appearance of the hillside. Because of the urgency of time, it is naturally impossible to dig a trench that is one person deep. Most of the holes built are less than a foot deep to allow soldiers to lie down, and there are also small holes half a meter high that allow soldiers to shoot in a crouching position, so that they can resist the threat of enemy bullets.
In the absence of artillery, such a strength of defense in skirmishes was already able to gain a great advantage.
On top of the single or double trenches, yellow fallen leaves are also covered for camouflage. There were nine squads of 150 elite troops, all of which were ambushed on this hundred-meter-long hillside.
Koval looked at the front of the hillside, and there was no sign of it at all at a hundred meters. Koval looked at the woods on either side of the hillside and sent three soldiers to ambush there.
Koval stood at the bottom of the hillside, anticipating the formation of the enemy's attack. Sure enough, it was found that there were several locations that were good natural positions for firing at the hillside.
Looking at these places, Koval touched his nose, rolled his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
Koval beckoned a few soldiers to begin arranging them with a few boxes.
The Soviet troops continued to advance along the mountain road, and soon reached the camp where the Polish troops rested in the morning.
Commander Ivan told the troops to rest and took a circle with a couple of officers himself.
"Yes, this is the camp where the Polish army rested, and there are horseshoe prints here." Commander Ivan said, pointing to the remaining horseshoe prints in the ground.
"There are so many horseshoe prints here, how many things do they bring!" An officer said, looking at the dense footprints on the ground.
"With so many things, they can't run." Ivan said confidently.
A middle-aged officer tossed through a pile of leaves to find a extinguished fire.
"Commander, this is the fire left by the Poles, there is still residual warmth in it, it seems that they have not been gone for a long time, it should only be two hours." The officer's excited report said.
"Okay, let's work harder, intercept them before it gets dark, and let the enemy know how powerful we are!" Captain Ivan shouted, like an eagle.
After discovering the camp of the Polish army, the morale of the Soviet army was greatly boosted, and the soldiers excitedly pursued along the trails left by the Polish army.
Because of the haste of walking, the traces left by the Polish army are very obvious, and the footprints of soldiers and the hoof prints of horses clearly extend all the way forward. Especially after bearing so many supplies, these marks are deeply sunk into the soil, leaving very significant traces.
Following these traces in pursuit, all the Soviet soldiers seemed to smell the smell of meat, and they were full of energy and momentum.
After another hour of walking, the Soviet troops marched calmly forward in a long line in the dim forest.
Even though there are no roads in such dense primeval forests, human habits will make them march in columns. In this way, only the people in front of the line are a little troublesome, and the people in the back will be much easier to walk on the road that the soldiers in front have paved. If you line up in a horizontal line, then the speed will be much lower, and everyone will have to keep blazing the road, fighting against all kinds of weeds, trees, and dirt pits on the road.
A young Soviet soldier at the front breathed in a big gulp of air and walked briskly, his breathing was very smooth and orderly, which was the secret of his ability to run in front of the line all the time. He has always prided himself on his excellent ability to march long distances, and for this he has been highly regarded by his superiors.
Crossing another tree, the enemy was not far away, the young man thought proudly, and suddenly something stumbled slightly. As if it were a rope, the young soldier felt.
With a slight exertion, the rope suddenly broke. The moment he exerted his strength, the rope pulled the tab.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the grenade exploded, and the young man and the six or seven soldiers who followed him immediately fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
"Who's throwing grenades?"
"Where is the enemy?"
The calm procession suddenly fell into a commotion, and the soldiers immediately stopped and asked each other the reason for the incident.
"Hide in place and prepare for battle!" The officers immediately beckoned the soldiers to prepare to resist the enemy's surprise attack.
All the Soviet soldiers immediately crouched or lay on their stomachs and hid on the edge of the bunkers, and the ranks fell silent.
It was as if a farce had suddenly begun and ended abruptly.
"What's the situation?" The young regimental commander Ivan crouched behind the trunk of a large tree and asked sharply to the officers around him.
After a minute, the officer in front ran back and reported: "Sir, the Poles have set a trap on the road, and our men stepped on the trap and detonated a grenade. ”
