Chapter 108: Spy
Koval stood under the tree and watched as Anna quietly returned to the tent, picking up her bow and arrows and walking deeper into the forest. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Just now, Koval had heard the movement of the animals, and had also spotted their whereabouts on the ground.
It must have been a large wild boar, Koval squatted down and thought to himself as he touched the deep hoof prints on the ground.
Walking along the tracks of the animals on the ground, Koval soon heard the snorting of wild boars. Koval crept in, leaning against a large tree and taking a closer look.
A huge boar was struggling in the woods in search of food, covered in thick brownish-black fur, clad in a layer of earthy armor, and with two long fangs that were extremely sharp.
Koval gently took off his bow and arrows, stretched out his bow and arrows, and quietly aimed at the big boar. The boar seemed to sense the danger in the air, and stopped foraging, raised its head and looked around, its big lips sniffing hard, trying to find the enemy's location.
Gently moving his hands, the arrow pointed at the neck of the big wild boar, Koval decisively let go of his right hand, and the long arrow was like a meteor, fleeting, and accurately nailed to the neck of the big wild boar.
The big boar let out a terrible cry and ran away.
Koval followed in hot pursuit.
The vigorous exercise caused blood to spurt out of the boar's neck, and after running for dozens of steps, the big boar suddenly fell to the ground, struggling weakly.
Koval walked slowly with his saber in his hand.
"Hum ・・・・・・" the big boar lay on its side on the leaves and hummed softly.
Koval could even hear the sound of air leaking from the top of its neck. Seeing its painful appearance, Koval rushed forward with an arrow, held down the boar's body, and stabbed it in the neck with a knife, solving its pain.
It's all over, Bajie is sorry, Koval said silently to the big boar.
Koval pulled out the arrow and carried the carcass of the large wild boar on his back, and suddenly felt very heavy. But I should be able to have a big meal today, Koval thought as he hurried back to camp.
Back inside the camp.
"Sir, everything is normal." Majewski reported: "Oh! What a wild boar! How do you do it? ”
"It's okay, you go and get a few people to deal with this guy, and we'll have a big meal in the evening." Koval said as he unloaded his weapon.
Soon, a few officers who were not on duty came over with all kinds of spices they had brought.
Several officers dehaired the wild boar and then cut it into dozens of pieces. Koval asked them to give one to each class, and although each class could only get a few pounds of wild boar, it would be nice to have fresh meat on the march.
With twenty pounds of pork left, Koval and the others lit a bonfire and began to barbecue.
The officers chatted around the campfire and ate meat at the same time, which was very pleasant.
Koval picked up his lunch box and filled Anna with some fatty barbecue, handed it to Mayevsky, blinked his eyes and said, "You hurry up and send it over." ”
Majewski nibbled on the wild boar in his mouth, immediately picked up the box and walked quickly.
The bonfire was extinguished, and the barracks fell silent again.
Under the control of Koval and Ivan, the Soviet and Polish armies maintained this tacit understanding, and both sides advanced one after the other towards Makmergay in the northwest.
The Soviet troops marched along the path taken by the Polish troops and found the abandoned camp of the Polish troops. Ivan stood on the edge of a campfire pit, looked at the remaining wild boar skeleton and said, "They are so leisurely that they can get such a big wild boar to roast and eat!" Better than what we ate. ”
Although the Soviet troops had food brought by the rear troops, most of it was bread and the like, and there was no comparison with meat.
So at the instigation of the officers, the Soviet troops also actively hunted prey and improved their own food.
The following week, the two troops were engaged in the killing of wild animals, and the two sides were very harmonious. Without the pressure of the enemy, Koval naturally had more free time.
Every day she quietly took Anna to play in the nearby forest. Lithuania has a very low altitude, and there are many large and small lakes and waterholes in this primeval forest, which can be found every time under Koval's keen observation.
So the two of them had to bathe and play in the pool every time.
After a few clouds and rains, Koval leaned against the edge of the waterhole, hugged Anna, and asked casually, "Anna, is there anyone else in your family?" ”
"Well," Anna said after a moment's thought, "I also have a father who is in the countryside. ”
"Russia has been in such chaos lately, you can write to him to come to Poland." Koval said.
"yes, okay."
Koval saw that Anna was a little prevaricated, and he couldn't say anything.
The armies of both sides gradually approached Mark Melgey.
Ivan led the troops forward.
"Sir, we found such a letter on the side of the road." An officer walked over and said.
Ivan picked up the letter and looked at it, and it had a sign commonly used by Soviet intelligence officers. I opened the letter, read it carefully, and handed it to the officers around me.
"What do you think of this letter?" Ivan asked calmly.
"Although there is a sign of our people on it, we can't be sure that she is true, it is best to ask the leader of the intelligence department of the headquarters to be sure." An officer said.
"It takes too long for this letter to be sent to the intelligence department of the headquarters and then replied, and we don't have that much time." Ivan immediately refused.
"The letter says that this Polish army is deliberately advancing in the northwest direction, trying to involve us in a big scheme, and let us be careful not to fall for it." An officer said, "But what conspiracy the Poles had, she didn't say!" ”
"We are now only a few days away from Mark Melgey's, and we have to figure out the enemy's machination." Another officer said.
"Are we still going to follow the Polish army now? Sir. Someone asked.
Ivan listened to the opinions of the officers around him, thought about it carefully, and decided: "Whether this letter is true or not, no matter what conspiracy the enemy has, we will still implement the original plan, as long as we are careful, the enemy will not be able to defeat us."
Of course, for the man who wrote this letter, we had to send a few men to get in touch with him, and try to find out as much as possible from him the enemy's plans. ”
The other officers dispersed, leaving only a few officers in charge of intelligence.
"Sir, the Polish army is ahead of us, and we don't know who he is, this is a bit difficult!"
"The most important thing is how not to alarm the Poles! They are very closely guarded. ”
"If he had been a spy sent out by our headquarters in Lithuania, he would have known some of the simple code words we commonly use. All we have to do is send someone around in front of the Polish army and quietly carve a code word on the tree, and he will find out. A middle-aged officer stood up and said.
"Don't let the Poles see it."
"We have not been at war with the Poles for long, and their intelligence work is very backward, not to mention such a small force, they have absolutely no understanding of our intelligence system, and even if I engrave the code words in front of them, they will not understand the meaning." The middle-aged officer said confidently.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. How many people do you need? Ivan said directly.
"We have to bypass the Poles' cordon, there must not be too many people, otherwise it will be easy for the Poles to find out. Six people are enough. I need a light machine gun, though. The middle-aged officer said.
"Okay, you pick a good candidate and go straight to get the weapon. Do not let Comrade Lenin down. Ivan said.
"Yes, sir. I promise to complete the task. The middle-aged officer gave a military salute and said solemnly.
