Koval looked at the slowly flowing river and suddenly patted his head: he had forgotten about it, and he had almost missed a big deal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As he spoke, he immediately called the troops back.

"Sir, what's going on?" Mayevsky asked.

"Before we act, we need to find out the depth and speed of the flow in various parts of this section of the river. I need ten volunteers and must be proficient in water. Koval said solemnly.

"Me!"

"Me!"

Poland was covered with rivers, all the soldiers could swim, and the soldiers enthusiastically raised their hands to participate.

Koval picked out ten soldiers who were good at the water, and carefully ordered: "Wait a minute, we will dive from this end to the opposite shore, and then dive back from the opposite bank, each fifty meters apart." During the operation, it is necessary to keep quiet and try not to make a noise so as not to be detected by soldiers patrolling the opposite shore. When you are diving, you have to record the depth and turbulence of the river, and when you come back, you have to draw it on paper, understand? ”

"Understood!"

Koval also put down his rifle and took off his coat, and walked to the river together.

"Sir, this matter is a bit dangerous, let's go." Majewski said.

"I am the planner of this operation, and I can't even know the real situation of the river. Needless to say, I'm so water-based! Koval smiled and said, "If I don't go down and try it myself, my heart is always unsteady." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Majewski said.

"Are you water-based?"

"I'm the little prince of snorkeling!"

Twelve people quietly touched the river, fifty meters apart, and quietly dived into the water.

The river water in June was very comfortable, and the cool feeling made Koval almost cry out.

"It's so cool, if it's winter, it's miserable." Koval secretly rejoiced.

Taking a deep breath, Koval dived headlong into the water, leaving only a small ripple on the surface.

At first, the river was very shallow, only one meter deep, with many weeds that looked at the river, and the bottom of the river was very flat. Koval watched the bottom of the river carefully and quickly dived towards the middle of the river.

After more than ten meters, the bottom of the river began to slowly deepen.

"It should have been the bank of the bitter season when the rising river was flooded." Koval thought to himself.

Continuing to swim forward, the depth of the river gradually changed to two or three meters, and the flowing water gradually became turbulent, hitting Koval and trying to push him downstream.

Koval squeezed all this change in his heart.

The air in his chest gradually depleted, Koval gently swam over, put his head out of the water, took a big breath, and after changing his breath, Koval took a deep breath and dived into the water.

Koval dived into the middle of the river, which was already more than four meters deep.

As we continued to swim forward, the depth of the river slowly became shallower.

Swimming to the east bank of the Gava River in one go, the water depth was less than one meter.

Koval quietly looked up, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound not far from the riverbank.

Koval immediately dived into the water.

"Squad leader, the river here is so wide, will the enemy cross the river here?" A Soviet soldier asked.

"This is an order from above, is it something you can question!" A rough accent said, "We can go and rest for half an hour after this turn." ”

As their words died down, Koval turned and swam toward the west bank.

On his way back from the dive, Koval continued to gather information about the river.

Koval returned to the rendezvous point, and the rest of the soldiers slowly returned.

Twelve people wrote down on paper what they saw in the river.

Koval picked up the record and saw that this section of the river was relatively deep, and there was no suitable place to build a pontoon bridge.

"Let's try again in another place." Koval ordered.

The twelve returned from another scuba dive in the river.

At this time, Koval finally saw two more suitable locations.

"You two take me over and find out for yourself." Koval said.

Koval personally explored the two sites by diving in the river, and finally chose a relatively flat bottom to cross the river.

"After swimming around ourselves, the river will not be difficult for us." Koval said happily: "Mayevsky, you copy a copy of this document and send it to Battalion Commander Parker, so that he can design a pontoon bridge according to the situation of the river." ”

"Yes, sir."

Koval put on his clothes and ordered: "Carry out the sniper plan." ”

"Yes, sir." The shooters couldn't wait to run to their sniper positions.

On the eastern bank of the Gava, a group of Soviet soldiers walked downstream along the riverbank, unaware of the danger lurking on the other side.

Koval pulled the bolt back and aimed his crosshair at a Soviet soldier.

A "bang" of gunshots followed, followed by a dozen shots, and all five Soviet soldiers on patrol fell on the bank of the river.

"How nice it would be if there was a silencer! You can kill these sentinels without even noticing. Koval lamented: "But the silencer is not very technical, and it should be possible to find some gunsmiths." ”

Just as Koval was thinking about the invisible killing of his shooter with a silencer, a terrible whistle sounded on the other side.

A few lights moved rapidly from a distance, and in the dim light, groups of Soviet soldiers with rifles could be seen vigilantly searching the entire riverbank.

The lights came to the bank of the river and found five bodies lying on the bank.

An officer carried an oil lamp and looked closely, and there were only one or two wounds on each corpse, either in the head or in the chest.

"Damn, such accurate marksmanship!" The officer suddenly felt bad in his heart: if these shooters were still aiming here, then ・・・・・・

"Hide ・・・・・・"

Before he could finish his sentence, a bullet from Koval had already hit him in the head, tearing half of his skull open.

The other soldiers gathered next to him were watching the surroundings vigilantly, but no one would have thought that the five people were all killed in an instant by the shooters who were ambushed on the other side.

The dense gunfire followed closely, and the Soviet soldiers who were on guard around them fell half at once.

"They're on the other side! The enemy forces are on the other side! Some Soviet soldiers shouted.

The remaining Soviet soldiers immediately opened fire on the West Bank. But on the vast riverbank, the flames of the muzzles of the Polish shooters flashed and quickly sank into the riverbank, and the Soviet soldiers could not see the enemy's position at all.

Koval and the other shooters continued to shoot, and one by one the Soviet soldiers were knocked out on the riverbank.

"Their marksmanship is so accurate!" A Soviet soldier, seeing his comrades falling one by one, shouted: "Put out the lights!" Turn off the lights! Don't give vision to enemies. (To be continued.) )
