Seryosha encountered a real air raid for the first time on the morning of the 16th, and the Luftwaffe had at most flown over their heads, strafing and being done, as long as they left the path of the Luftwaffe planes in time, they could safely avoid it.

Therefore, except for the first time when they were dive, the Cossacks were very calm at other times, scattering in an instant when the enemy plane dived, and when the enemy plane left, they talked and laughed while returning to the road to continue moving. Of course, the Germans were so fast that a few unlucky ones couldn't get out of it every time, but the Cossacks were optimistic that they would be able to avoid the next dive.

Until they encountered the swarm dive of the oddly shaped twin-engine bombers of the Germans.

When they heard the sound, the Cossacks were stunned, because they had never heard such a terrible howl, so they did not think for the first time that it was an airplane. The Cossacks looked up at the sky in confusion, and a hunter from the Caucasus Mountains habitually searched the direction of the horizon, but found nothing.

By the time the Cossacks saw the enemy planes that were diving down from the backlight, it was too late.

Seryosha had just run off the road, and not long after his feet had thawed, and before the dirt had completely softened, the explosion burst through his eardrums.

He was whipped up by the air wave, pushed forward, and landed in the classic dog-gnawing mud fashion. Seryosha's head was dizzy after landing, and his ears were completely dominated by tinnitus, and he could not hear anything except a sharp chirp.

He got up and looked around.

Time seemed to slow down, he could see everyone running in slow motion, he could see the blast wave of the bomb pushing people into the sky, he could see the shrapnel tearing apart the cheeks of his comrades.

Seryosha recognized it as Kryuchkov, whose head had been cut off in half, above the upper gums, and his mouth was all exposed, leaving a large tongue in the air, but he could no longer lick the roof of his mouth.

Seryosha looked at this qiē blankly, and the ringing in his ears seemed to isolate him from this qiē, all of which were no longer related to him.

However, he was awakened by the shockwave of a new bomb, and he was swept up by the shockwave, and then smashed to the ground, and when he landed, he fainted for a while, but he woke up after a few seconds.

The tinnitus has disappeared and has been replaced by a pig-like scream:

"me, I'm bleeding all over the ground!"

"I'm ****** dying!"

Seryosha struggled to his feet and walked towards a companion who was groaning on the ground, he did not recognize the man's face, it was probably the Cossacks of other villages - many of the Cossacks had recently been added to the Tatar village companies because of the recent losses in the battle, these people were from the units that had been lost in the crossfire, and the Cossacks called these surviving guys bad luck and avoided them all day long.

Seryosha stared at the man's face and asked repeatedly, "What can I do for you?" Sue me, what can I do for you? ”

"You've stepped on my hand." The man cursed and said, "Get rid of your stinky feet!" ”

As soon as Seryosha looked down and saw his foot on a severed hand, he hurriedly opened his foot, then leaned down and picked it up and stuffed it into the man.

The man looked at Seryosha, still swearing, as if he didn't even notice that blood was pouring out of his severed arm.

"I'm going to stop the bleeding for you first!"

Seryosha said, and then involuntarily tore the man's clothes and began to tie his arms. Seryosha did not learn how to stop bleeding - the Russian army never taught this. Seryosha had only heard from his own father, who had experienced the last war, how to stop the bleeding at this time: to tie the base of his arm tightly and strangle all the blood vessels. It is possible to lose the remaining arm, but it can save your life.

The wounded man lying on the ground also seemed to have calmed down at this time, he stared at Seryosha and said in a tired, disheartened voice: "My hand is gone, child, my right hand is gone." What else can I do if I go? I'm just a piece of shit, a wine bag and a rice bag, and it's only going to cause trouble for my Aksina! Let me die here! Let me die! ”

Seryosha just wanted to get away from him as quickly as possible, but he turned around and took only two steps before he turned back, pulled out his pistol, and placed it in the man's only remaining left hand.

Seryosha didn't know why he did this, maybe he felt that anyone should have the right to choose?

Seryosha walked far away, but did not hear the gunshots, and when he looked back, he saw the wounded soldier holding the gun, there he was crying and crying, tears falling on the severed arm that Seryosha had placed beside him.

Seryosha was in a very bad mood, and he turned to look for his companions, who he soon found on the edge of a dry field canal.

Mishka was bandaging his arm from Gregory - it was a bandage, not so much a bandage.

"Hey," Myshka was glad to see Seryosha, "I thought you had gone to God." Damn the Germans' bombing is ferocious enough. ”

"Yes," Seryosha himself felt a little distracted, "no wonder they can rely on the air force in Turkey to stabilize the situation." ”

"But this time it won't work, when we were in Turkey, we had few troops, and now troops like ours are on the entire front, hundreds of kilometers from north to south, and there are Cossack companies in every kilometer, and the Germans can't bomb so much. Tens of millions of people can be recruited, but airplanes can't be built in tens of millions, and when they run out, they will be gone. ”

Seryosha nodded, but involuntarily muttered in his heart: "Before the Germans run out of planes, who knows how many Russians will be murdered." ”

At this moment someone was running to this side, it was the mechanical Kalmykov of the windmill mill, and as he ran, he shouted to the Cossacks sitting on the edge of the dry canal: "The company commander and other officers are hanging, and they have been killed by a bomb!" Now the others are debating whether or not we should form a committee of soldiers to elect a temporary company commander! ”

The soldiers' council and the system adopted by Tsarist Russia to appease the Cossacks at the end of the last war were that the council could impeach officers that everyone disliked or nominate acting commanders - but the real commanders still had to be approved by the Tsar.

"Now for the committee?" Grigory looked at Kalmykov with a look of suspicion, "Are you crazy to open a committee now when the Germans may come out at any time?" Even if all the officers are dead, we should let the chief of the department ...... according to the command order."

"The secretary is also dead." Kalmykov gestured with his hand, "There is a big hole in the belly, and all the oil that is usually sucked from us is flowing out!" ”

Gregory was about to say something when he saw someone in the bushes in the distance rushing out of the bushes, running towards his life.

"What's going on?" Mishka craned her neck and looked at the people who were running in the distance, "Shouldn't that direction be where the 1st Nizhny Novgorod Regiment is located......"

This regiment went ahead of the Cossacks, and in fact the entire Nizhny Novgorod conscription was in front of the infantry in Vishchensk.

But now that the battlefield is staggered, it is not surprising when the Germans are encountered. There are many rumors that some Germans did not retreat as ordered, but stuck where they were, so wedged into the formation of the Russian army like nails.

At this time, almost everyone noticed the infantry who were fleeing in this direction.

Suddenly, Seryosha saw something moving on top of the treetops of the bushes, and before he could see clearly, a large magic armor rushed out, and the magic armor was facing Seryosha in their direction, and the shield on his shoulder was facing the back, and he ran towards Seryosha and them, and fired at something in the bushes.

Soon two other magic armors also appeared in Seryosha's field of vision, both of them heading in the direction of the dry aqueduct where the Cossacks were, and both firing backwards.

The shield on the armour of the armor that had finally run out of the bushes had been lost, and it could only run at full speed in Seryosha's direction.

At this time, the black armor appeared, which was significantly lower than the Russian armor, and could hide completely in the not too tall bushes on the Polish plain. The black paint coat outlines the shape of the Iron Cross in white, which clearly indicates the belonging of these magical armors.

The Germans' magic armor stopped at the edge of the bushes and lowered their bodies - a movement that Seryosha found was such that the armor plates on their front blocked most of the fragile walking gear.

In this way, the Germans formed a line next to the woods and opened fire on the retreating Russian Senhime troops.

Seryosha watched as the last Russian magic armor was hit, and it fell to its knees like a man who had been shot, and then fell all over the mud.

Immediately after that, another Russian magic guide armor was hit continuously, its shoulder shield was knocked away, and the flying shield smashed on the heads of several Nizhny Novgorod Cossacks hiding in the crater. Seryosha could not see the fate of the Cossacks, but he preferred not to see it himself.

Then the sideways magic armor was torn by the cannonball, and the body fell to the ground.

Seryosha found that through the broken airframe, he could see the Russian soldier in the cockpit, and the girl was unconscious, and she didn't know if she was dead or fainted.

According to the regulations, the infantry had to risk their lives to confirm the condition of the battle queen in the fallen magic armor, but Seryosha did not intend to step forward at all.

The remaining Wizard armor seemed to finally realize that if they continued to run like this, they would be killed one by one by enemy fire in the open field, so they turned around and opened fire on the Germans who were parked at the edge of the bushes.

The German projectiles flew overhead one after another, and the firepower of the return fire was much more fragile in comparison.

Seryosha heard Kalmykov nervously asking Grigory: "Should we run away?" Shouldn't we...... Damn, it's no use us staying here! Let's run! ”

It was at this time that the German mechs began to fire something like smoke grenades.

"Oh my God, is that gas?" Kalmykov exclaimed, "Damn the Germans are using mustard gas again!" ”

"No," Gregory shook his head, "I think it's just a smoke bomb, and if you have mustard gas, the wind is not going the right way now, and it can't float." ”

Mishka asked loudly: "Why are they firing smoke grenades?" They could have rushed out and killed us all! Effortlessly! ”

Grigory shrugged: "How do I know! ”

All the Cossacks stared nervously at the woods, for fear that the Germans would suddenly rush out of the woods.

It was a very windy day, and soon the smoke was blown away, and when the smoke had cleared, there were no Germans in the bushes.

The Cossacks looked at each other, surprised by this unexpected good fortune.

At this time, the Russian army Zhan Ji shouted with a megaphone: "You people, hurry up and come and help!" My sisters might be alive! ”

Mishka muttered, "I can't beat others myself, I just yell at us." ”

Gregor stabbed Mishka with his hand, then stood up first, walking in the direction of the surviving Wizard Armor.
