Chapter 254: Two Bad News
In the past few days, Trod and they have become accustomed to the days of changing places one day at a time, and every day they cooperate with the infantry to scare the enemy in front of them away, and then because of the weather and some other reasons, they enter the defensive phase early. Although there is not much loss every day, but the territory advanced is also only a handful, although there has not been any bad news from Austria and Hungary, but Trode is still a little worried, he is not worried about his allies over there, but on his side.
If there was a war on that side, this side would have been able to break in with their hands and feet, but the true movements of the Soviets have never been clear. Although in order to hide the situation, the Germans announced the unilateral abrogation of the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" at the moment they entered Lithuania, which can be said to be the last gentleman's etiquette that the Germans put on the Soviets. But this does not raise the image of the Soviet Union, after all, they have been driving straight in, a large number of troops have already pressed Austria, as long as they cross Austria, Germany itself is in front of them, and at that time, no one can speak of gentlemanly etiquette.
Moreover, one of the factors that affected their advance in Trod was the increasing guerrilla activity of the enemy, and the original forces in this area were simply vulnerable, but if they were converted into guerrilla forces, they would be able to facilitate their familiarity with the terrain and the operation of small units.
However, this was not a reason for the Germans to succumb to them, for even in guerrilla warfare, the original garrisons were not a real threat. Because Lithuania was taken over by Poland after the conquest, under the call of the new government, the troops temporarily maintained a slightly pro-German attitude, but they did not go on the expedition, but only to ensure the security of their own country.
But further north, the enemy's defenses are even weaker. However, there are exceptions to everything. Although the Soviets also sent reinforcements from St. Petersburg and Veliky Novgorod. But it was only a symbolic defense, and the real headache for the German army was the guerrilla troops from the Soviet Union, although most of them were only at the level of half a bucket of water, but there were also real elites among them, hiding in the shadows, looking for every opportunity to harass and sabotage the German army.
"Trode!"
Hearing someone call him, Trode hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Derek, he put down what he was doing and took two steps to meet him.
Derek poked his neck. Wearing Trode's side, he looked at his tank and said, "I'm also checking the tank today, how is it, is there a problem?" ”
Trode spread his hands and said: "It's no problem, but this weather is really hard to say, it will inevitably break down, I don't want to trouble the logistics brother at that time." ”
"That's good." Derek nodded.
Conversations between two people like this were quite common during this period of time, because there was not much time to move each day, and the troops were relatively concentrated. The two of them had a lot of time to chat compared to when they were in Libya, which made both Trode and Derek a little happier.
But Derek suddenly changed to a more solemn face and said, "I have two bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
"Two pieces of bad news?" Trode smiled and said, "How can I choose you like this?" Forget it, forget it. Let's start with the not-so-bad one. ”
"Phew" Derek let out a long breath and said, "As funny as you think, it's happening, albeit some of the rumors." I can't guarantee accuracy, but I still feel the need to pay attention to it. ”
Looking at the serious expression on Derek's face, Trode also put away his smile. Quietly looking at Derek, waiting for him to say.
Derek's expression added some pain and said, "First of all, a not-so-good thing, during the mission at noon today, Thor's team was attacked. ”
"What? Did the enemy send tanks? Trode shouted with a glare.
"No, not really." Derek waved his hand and said, "There are two dead people in total, both of them are captains. When they leaned out to observe the situation, they were all shot in the chest, and the interval between the two people was only about ten seconds. And most importantly, according to the accounts of the returning team members, they also heard only two gunshots, and he did not catch any trace of the enemy either at the time or afterward. ”
"Killed two commanders with two shots without anyone noticing?! And then in front of the eyelids of so many troops, I said that I would not see it and it would be gone!? Trode's shock was even greater than before, and although he knew the strength of the enemy's guerrilla warfare, it was the first time he had heard of such a situation. In any case, even a veteran sniper like Vincent is quite difficult to achieve this level at this time in the middle of the day.
"Damn it!" Trode said through gritted teeth. In one unit, the two who were also the commanders of the car with him were killed by the enemy in more than ten seconds, and the murderer had not yet been discovered, which was too unacceptable.
"Although Uncle Strange should inform us about this matter around this evening, so that we can take strict precautions, I still think it is necessary to come and tell you." Derek stared at Trode.
"Well, next time I'll let our people hide in the tank honestly, of course I don't want to die so inexplicably, you don't have to worry." As he spoke, Trode tapped him on the shoulder.
"No, I didn't mean that, because there's one thing I care about." As Derek spoke, he raised his palms and motioned for Trode not to interrupt him, and he continued: "This happened in the middle of the day, and there are not many trees here to use as cover, it is not easy to successfully hide from the eyes of our troops, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do to kill two moving targets with two shots. ”
The more Derek spoke, the more ugly his expression became, and he seemed to be very resistant to what was below, but he continued: "Regarding this, there was a rumor before, which came from several infantry team headquarters that cooperated with us, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. But now, I think there's a good chance it's true. ”
"What rumors?" Trood finally couldn't take it anymore and asked out loud.
Derek gritted his teeth and said as if with all his strength, but even so, there was a slight tremor in his voice, and even then, Trood only heard four words.
"The white ghost is coming." (To be continued.) )
