Chapter 553: Night Watch (I)

Since there were no special requirements, the time spent cleaning the battlefield was more than usual, and the degree of meticulousness was naturally rising, and they were like a scythe for cutting wheat in autumn, sweeping all the weapons and equipment on the ground, as long as it was not a large equipment like tanks or trucks, whether it could be used or not, they were all taken away and counted and sorted out in the position. Those who can be used can be kept by themselves, and those that are defective or damaged can also be handed over to them to add luster to their own battles, so for them, nothing is really useless.

Unlike the wolf-like infantry, Andre and they seem to be a little picky, and the equipment they pick up is definitely to pick up those that are better, and there must be nothing wrong with them at the very least, although they are a little dissatisfied with Andre's only good behavior, but after all, the equipment they picked up is still a small part of the total number of equipment dropped by the enemy, so the infantry has no complaints about them.

The whole afternoon had passed like this, and since the scouts around him were on guard, Andre and the others could rest peacefully. In addition to cleaning the battlefield, the infantry also strengthened the position, although the position itself was not greatly impacted in the previous battle, and the enemy infantry had surrendered before they even rushed into the trenches, but there was no harm in reinforcing it, and this was not due to Andrei's opinion, but the will of the infantry themselves, perhaps they had fully realized the importance of fortifications in this battle.

In the evening, just as Andre and his family were preparing for dinner, the enemy attacked, and the speed was very fast, and the momentum was quite fierce. Although Andrei had prepared beforehand, it was obvious that the enemy was here to fight for his life, and if he did not put all his forces on the position at this time, it was very likely that he would lose a lot of money, and in desperation, Andrei fought a positional battle with the enemy for a full forty minutes. As a result, Andrei led his team to withstand the first wave of the enemy's onslaught, and at this time, perhaps because it was late and the sun was setting, the enemy army chose to retreat temporarily when they had a good opportunity. Although Andrei was not helpless about the situation just now, it was better that the enemy army could take the initiative to retreat.

What Andrei did not know was that the retreat of the enemy troops was not without consideration of the consequences after that. In the previous battle, although those enemy troops seemed to have been completely wiped out by Andre and them, a very small part of them still fled, and they reported the situation to the follow-up troops, and the commander of this follow-up unit naturally learned in advance of the routine used by Andre just now. At that time, the sky was getting dark, and the success rate of sneak attack and ambush tactics was rapidly increasing, and although they had the upper hand in the frontal battle, this small advantage could be reversed by a small change. After weighing it up repeatedly, they chose to abandon the attack, and reluctantly gave Andre a chance to breathe.

Although it is not a continuous battle, the time in the middle is also cleaning the battlefield and strengthening the position, so compared to Andre and others who rested halfway, the physical strength of the infantry has almost exhausted, and at this time they must replenish their energy and supplement it with enough rest time to cope with the next battle. Although the enemy did not plan to make any moves at night because of the fear of Andrei's ambush, the Soviet side was completely unaware of this matter, so there was no shortage of precautions at all. Compared to the infantry, Andrei's squad did not leave the position, but it could not rest completely. As the most important mobile troops, they must be ready to fight in the various districts around the positions at any time.

It's been spring for a while, but it's still cold. In the words of the locals, this is a situation that has not been encountered in about 50 years, and Andre and his family are lucky to be able to come to war at such a time. But for the Russians, who were accustomed to the bitter cold in their homeland, the temperature was bearable, and while it was no less uncomfortable, it was much more adaptable than that of the Germans who had traveled long distances to fight in the Soviet Union. Not to mention the German soldiers, even their tanks were frustrated by the brutal cold weather. If Andre and the others knew about this situation, they would probably die of laughter.

Since Andre and his family brought their own simple tents, they did not need to worry about the howling cold wind at night, at least those who slept could be more peacefully immersed in sleep. Those outside the tent will have to endure the cold wind and focus their spirits on tonight's defense.

Unlike the casual style on weekdays, every time there is a task at night, Andrei almost never sleeps, at first everyone thinks he is being strong, and will use various methods to persuade him to go back and rest for a while, even if it is only for an hour or two. However, over time, they may have discovered that Andre really does not get sleepy at such a time, and it will hardly affect the next day's battle, so they have to let the wayward captain continue his wayward demands......

However, Andre's lack of sleep will not affect the normal shift of Team 217 at night. Although he was awake all night, under normal circumstances, Andrei would only be on duty within the time set for him, and at other times there would be other people in charge, who would act as if Andrei did not exist. This matter, in Andrei's words, is: "I don't rest is not a reason for you to be lazy. ”

Maybe they felt that what Andre said did have some truth, or maybe they were just reluctant to talk to the captain who talked to himself, and the team members accepted Andre's arrangement without any complaints. Today, almost no one has any doubts about it. Now, however, there is one exception......

She's Bella, who hasn't been here for a few days. In fact, for newcomers, it is normal to have problems in this regard, and Andre only said a few words to him hastily, and then pushed him back to rest. The latter was obviously still a little worried about Andre, but he also knew that he had just arrived and really didn't know the specific situation of the team, so he spoke softly and had to go back to sleep honestly according to Andrei's instructions......
