Otto? Kali Woods put down his binoculars and sighed softly. His sigh was transmitted through the microphone to his throat to the other members of the car.

"What's going on?" The loader asked.

"Refugees." The driver outside could also be seen whispering - the whole car was only the loader, and there was no way to look out.

For a moment, there was silence in the communication loop in the car.

The group of refugees had spotted the German troops on alert, and their march had slowed down. The recent non-lethal weapons used by the Germans to disperse the refugees have been rumored to be powerful weapons of mass destruction, and the refugees have a considerable reverence for the German troops.

To be honest, being so feared by the unarmed populace made Otto feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, he heard someone climbing his chariot, so he turned his head to look, and saw Veronica, the war queen in the Polish military uniform.

Veronica also wore a thick braid today, with a thick braid that went from the side of her neck to the front of her body and hung down along the curve of her chest, and the bow decoration at the end of the braid hung just near the belt, side by side with the iron buckle with the Polish coat of arms on the belt.

There was a faint aroma wafting from Veronica, which made Otto's dull mood slightly better.

Veronica stood on the hood of the Tiger and watched the refugees with a telescope.

"Miss Veronica, you're dangerous, watch out for snipers." Despite knowing that Veronica did not understand German, Otto dutifully reminded him.

Veronica looked down at Otto, as if guessing what he was talking about, and she smiled at him before continuing to observe the refugee ranks.

Otto was silent for a moment, the presence of the girl behind him made him feel uncomfortable, even though he knew that the girl was not looking at him, and his muscles tensed with restraint.

Otto heard his team snickering, and he could imagine the members exchanging meaningful glances in the car. Otto turned his head to look at the other vehicles parked next to him, and was not surprised to find that all the commanders with their heads poked out were looking at this side with meaningful eyes - it was expected that after this battle, new rumors about Otto and Veronica would appear in the 502nd Heavy Battalion.

As Otto thought about this, Veronica gently patted Otto on the shoulder. Otto looked up, only to see the girl pointing to the flank.

Otto followed the girl's fingertips and saw a group of German soldiers assembling a strange thing near the forest line. He immediately picked up the binoculars and looked in that direction.

At this time, radio communication came from the headset: "Battalion commander, the reconnaissance plane reports that a large number of refugees are pouring in our direction, and it seems that there are also Russian deserters mixed with them. ”

"Damn." Otto muttered softly, Russian deserters have also recently begun to become one of the headaches for the German army. The deserters were armed, and they didn't mind using them for the "unjust" villagers when the Germans dispersed the refugees. Many German soldiers did not die on hellish battlefields, but died in the "safe" work of dispersing refugees.

The survival of these Russian deserters also made the Germans more and more comfortable when they opened fire on the refugees, and the sense of honor as soldiers, the pity for the unarmed civilians, and so on, were being swallowed up little by little by the terrible gluttony called the "world war".

To tell the truth, the so-called mercy for the civilians is nothing more than an empty word, and the artillery shelling during the attack on the city does not know how many civilians were killed, and even Otto himself is likely to have his hands covered with the blood debt of civilians because he ordered to open fire on the buildings during the siege.

This is war, and Otto has felt it fully.

"Hey! Your chick is calling you! ”

Kosher's voice caused Otto to to wake up from his thoughts, only to find Veronica patting him the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Otto asked, in one of the few Polish he knew.

In the past few months, Otto's battalion and the Polish warriors have been mixed together to form a mobile combat unit, which has been doing the errand of "plugging leaks" everywhere on the entire front, and has been fighting together for a long time, so the German soldiers in the battalion have learned some simple Polish to some extent.

"Battle Princess." Veronica spoke in German, which was pronounced very non-standardly, and the cooperative operation also allowed Veronica and other Polish warriors to learn limited German.

Otto frowned: "Where?" ”

"In the crowd." Veronica pointed to the growing number of refugees, "The clothes, very strange, and, alone, unreasonable. ”

Otto understood what Veronica meant, refugees were unlikely to go alone, and generally traveled in groups, especially women. It is indeed strange for a woman to come this way alone, Otto did not mean to be a black Russian, but women who act alone are mixed in the flow of refugees, and most of them will be killed by deserters.

Unless that person is a war queen, and it is a war queen with a light magic guide armament.

Otto picked up the microphone and ordered loudly: "The whole team should pay attention, the refugees may be mixed with the escaped war queens, or it may be a planned surprise attack by the Russians, everyone will put me into a combat state, and everyone who is smoking below will give me a car!" Staff officer, inform nearby allies that we have found a war queen among the refugees. ”

As his subordinates took action, Otto picked up his binoculars and searched among the refugees.

He felt something press on his shoulder, it was soft and elastic, and almost instantly Otto realized what it was, and at the same time as the touch came the sensation of the girl's hair falling on the earlobe, and it was clear that Veronica was leaning down and pressing her head against Otto's face.

"That." Veronica said briefly, pointing ahead.

Otto managed to find the man he was looking for in the area Veronica was pointing to. Indeed, there are too many unnatural things about the woman as a fleeing refugee, she is acting alone, the amount of luggage is really a little small, and most importantly, she is obviously a refugee, but her clothes are very neat, and she does not look like a victim at all.

"It's a shame that you found this suspicious guy among so many refugees." Otto exclaimed.

Veronica tilted her head, "Huh? ”

It seemed that this long sentence was beyond her comprehension.

"You, find, that, amazing." Otto combined them with Polish words.

Veronica laughed, softly, but because it was right in Otto's ear, he heard it well.

Veronica spoke a long list of Polish, Otto didn't understand a word, he guessed that she was probably explaining why she found that suspicious person, it didn't matter, so Otto didn't try to figure out the meaning of Veronica's words, and Veronica had no intention of explaining.

She straightened up again, and the soft touch on Otto's shoulder disappeared, much to Otto's regret.

But the girl was obviously still standing behind him, which somewhat diluted a little regret.

By this time, as the morning sun rose and the number of refugees grew, they all stopped a few kilometers away from the German troops, as if they were not sure whether they should move this way.

"That's more than I've seen before." Otto whispered.

His gunner immediately said: "I heard that the refugees from Belarus are here now, probably thinking that if they can't enter the area controlled by our military, they should continue to walk east." It's really hard for them, the railways are all out of use, and the cars have no gas, so they can come here by walking. ”

"This is probably the so-called desire to survive." Otto whispered.

"I don't know what the Russian army will do to them when they get close to the Russian defense zone."

Otto didn't answer, because he wasn't particularly clear either. It stands to reason that the Russian soldiers should not expel their compatriots, but he heard from the staff of the command that Russia could not have enough food to feed so many people, after all, the Don Plain, the Kuban steppe and Ukraine were lost, and it was impossible for them to afford so many refugees only on the Volga River basin and the agricultural products of Kazakhstan. And in doing so, the most important purpose of leaving the refugees behind the fortified Kiyono would not be achieved - the original intention of the Russian army should be to use the refugees to increase the burden on the German army's supply system.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Russian army will not treat these refugees well, and Otto feels very sad when he thinks of this.

Otto was feeling sad when a hand rested lightly on his shoulder.

He looked up and saw Veronica looking down at him, and the girl said in broken German, "This is war, you, no, wrong." ”

Probably she wanted to say, "It's not your fault."

Otto smiled at Veronica and was about to say something when a terrible beep came from the flank allies, which made Otto's back suddenly get goosebumps, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"What's going on!"

"What the hell am I going to do?"

There was also an exclamation on the radio.

Otto turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came from, and saw that the strange device had been assembled, and some German soldiers dressed as technicians were installing metal plates in front of the thing.

After a few moments, the technologists began to evacuate from the perimeter of the device, and Otto estimated that the thing was about to start working.

He subconsciously adjusted the headphones to make sure they covered his ears.

Then the device began to make sounds.

Unlike the shrill sound just now, this time, although loud, it didn't have the power to instinctively repulse. Otto listened for a while, and became more and more confused.

"What the hell is that thing for......" he muttered quietly.

Another tap on his shoulder made him turn to look at Veronica, but the girl pointed in the direction of the refugee.

Otto looked directly in front of the chariot and found that the refugees who were moving in the direction of the Germans had slowed down, as if some force was pushing them back.

For no apparent reason, Otto felt that the power had something to do with the strange device that was playing a loud noise.

"I hear," Kosher's voice suddenly sounded in the headphones, "other troops have used a sonic weapon, could it be this?" ”

Otto pursed his lips and said into the microphone: "I think the eight achievements are yes, and the effect looks pretty good...... Sound can also be used to control the enemy, and the development of science and technology is really getting closer and closer to magic technology, which is amazing. ”
