Chapter 71: Welcome to the Mannerheim Line (13)
In addition to focusing on exercising shooting, skiing Zhang Heng did not fall, but the latter was not so smooth, although Simon's skiing skills are good, but far inferior to her marksmanship, and her current injuries are not good, and she can't exercise vigorously, so most of her can only sit quietly on the side and watch Zhang Heng practice by herself.
Maggie only stayed for two days in the first place, and then she couldn't stand this boring translation work and ran away.
But fortunately, the communication between Zhang Heng and Simon is basically limited to learning, even if the language is not understood, they can understand it by comparing in the later stage, of course, more often the two remain silent.
Zhang Heng was practicing marksmanship on one side, while Simon was watching on the other side.
Snowflakes fell from the treetops and landed on the tip of her nose, making her can't help but sneeze.
…………
In addition, Zhang Heng found that Simon also began to learn English, she asked Maggie to be a teacher, and the first sentence she learned was "Can you kiss me".
When he got up in the morning to brush his teeth, Zhang Heng almost didn't swallow the mouthwash when he heard this, and later learned that Simon wanted to say just good morning, and it was Maggie who deliberately teased her.
Zhang Heng had the idea of learning Finnish before, after all, it is not a bad thing to be able to communicate with people freely.
However, Finnish has few consonants, long words, rich vowels, and very complex grammar, which is one of the few unpopular languages that are extremely difficult to learn, and unlike in the previous copy, he had to improve his shooting and skiing skills as soon as possible, and did not have so much time to focus on language learning.
Of course, although it is impossible to learn systematically, some common words can still be sudden, especially tactical terms such as fire, ceasefire, retreat, cover, etc., and some words that appear more frequently in daily life...... Zhang Heng doesn't want to be able to connect into a complete sentence, as long as he can express his meaning and be understood, which simplifies a lot of learning difficulties.
So the busiest person in the camp now has become Maggie, who has to teach Simon English and then has to teach someone Finnish.
However, Zhang Heng has indeed lived a very fulfilling life during this time, he has never touched a gun from a layman to a certain shooting accuracy now, and at the same time can also step on a sleigh to shuttle between the woods, the progress is still quite large, although it cannot be compared with the real guerrillas, but Maggie has come to see it a few times, and he is also amazed by the speed of his progress.
Of course, this is inseparable from Simon's unconcealed guidance, but Zhang Heng doesn't know if it is also because he has practiced archery before, he actually has some talent in aiming, but unfortunately his desire to stay here and brush both shooting and skiing to lv1 before going out is destined to be disappointed, and what should have happened on the thirteenth day when he came to the guerrilla camp still happened.
Simon's injury was almost healed, in fact, if it wasn't for taking care of Zhang Heng, she might have left the camp two or three days earlier, just to give someone more time to train, she deliberately stayed for a while longer.
However, on this day, the guerrillas received news from the nearby villagers that a Soviet unit was marching not far from them, and the mustache captain gathered all the partisans in the camp and wanted to eat the Soviet army.
Zhang Heng did not attend this military meeting, but he could feel the excitement of the guerrillas around him, they were wiping their weapons over and over again, checking their backpacks, and discussing something together, the atmosphere of the camp was obviously different, even the lunch at noon was much more sumptuous than usual, Simon told someone in the broken English he had just learned from Maggie that they had a mission.
Zhang Heng also replied to Simon in the same broken Finnish with a good word.
After eating, the two went to Ojedo together to receive bullets and four days of dry food, in addition to Zhang Heng also received a camouflage suit, so that he no longer had to wear a khaki Soviet military uniform like a live target.
It's impossible to say that you're not nervous at all.
After all, he is about to go to the battlefield, unlike these Finnish partisans around him, Zhang Heng has no grudge against those Soviet soldiers, and there is no conflict of interest, but the two sides will soon meet each other, maybe this is the cruelty of war, everyone in it is engulfed by the torrent of the times, and they can't help themselves.
Zhang Heng stuffed personal hygiene items and a roll of hemostatic bandages into his backpack, separating them from the dried meat and vegetables inside, Simon was still a little worried about his mental state, and kept peeking at someone when he was packing up, but seeing that the latter was not too different from the usual training, she gradually relaxed her heart.
Zhang Heng knows very well that this is not a warm study, not a library full of sunshine in the afternoon, you can sit quietly on the sofa for humanistic reflection, once you go to the battlefield, except for Desmond Dawes's once-in-a-millennium hanging, most people have only two choices
- Kill or be killed.
It has nothing to do with morality, it's just about survival.
Zhang Heng had skis and M28 on his back, Simon was already standing outside the door waiting for him, hesitated for a moment after seeing someone, and then gave him a short hug of less than a second with some clumsy movements, and bit his tongue and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you." ”
This feeling is a bit strange, after all, it is the first time in Zhang Heng's life to hear a girl say such things to himself, and what is even more strange is that he found that it was difficult to refute, so he could only nod and say, "Me too." ”
The two did not set off with the other guerrillas in the camp, because Simon had always been used to acting alone before, she was alone when she was a child hunting in the mountains, and she did not team up with others after joining the guerrillas, this time it was to save Zhang Heng that she appointed the latter as her partner for the first time.
But she still doesn't know how to get along with others, just rushing in front, and always keeps a distance of about one meter between the two.
In the evening, Zhang Heng called Simon and began to prepare dinner, after a year and a half of life on a desert island, his cooking level has also improved, especially when dealing with simple ingredients, he often has an unexpectedly good performance, so he took the initiative to light a fire and took on the responsibility of cooking.
Simon was stunned when he saw the bonfire, he didn't know what he thought, his face was red, he was just staying there quietly, but now he became a little restless, so he gestured to Zhang Heng to patrol around.
This is actually not a good excuse, they have just left the base camp, there is still a considerable distance from the Soviet army, except for the reindeer that jumped by in the depths of the woods, there are probably no other creatures within a radius of dozens of miles, but perhaps it is because of this that Simon feels even more embarrassed.
