Chapter Seventy-Nine: Welcome to the Mannerheim Line (21)
Zhang Heng and Simon worked together to extinguish the kerosene lamps hanging in each corner in turn, so that the camp quickly became pitch black, and the visibility was very low tonight, and only vague figures could be seen in the distance.
The two of them were now about seventy meters away from the forest on the northwest side, but they were only forty meters away from the west, and there was a storage room in the middle, so Zhang Heng preferred to enter the forest from the west side first, and then turn to the northwest direction.
However, the premise is to kill the gunman hiding on the west side first.
With the rifle, Zhang Heng put away the previous pistol, he and Simon were lying on the snow left and right, maintaining a shooting posture, and after a while, the people in the woods really couldn't bear the loneliness, and shot back at Weller, who was still firing frantically, but when the gunfire was lit, their position was also revealed, Zhang Heng and Simon seized this fleeting opportunity.
With two gunshots, a figure fell down in the woods, but Simon didn't stop, turned the muzzle, and killed the remaining man with terrifying observation and memory.
But at this time, Weller was also shot, fortunately, the people in the forest didn't seem to want to kill him, only one of his calves was hit, Zhang Heng knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and pulled Simon to rush to the storage room, but then someone noticed the situation here, and divided part of the firepower to shoot this side, blocking the way for the two.
Simon gestured at this time and wanted to use himself to attract the attention of the other side, so that Zhang Heng took the opportunity to escape, but the latter refused without hesitation, this group of people came for Simon, he couldn't just throw the girl here, it was better to stay and try to fight with the other side.
However, this is the last resort, and the chances of winning a head-on fight are slim, and even if they can win this battle, the guerrillas may not have a few people left.
Just when the two were temporarily trapped, Weller on the ground suddenly erupted, he was hit in the calf, not only did not retreat, but was aroused to the ferocity in his bones, it happened that there was a previous masked man's body beside him, he used this as a barrier, picked up the opponent's submachine gun with bullets, and started the second round of crazy strafing into the forest.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Heng and Simon also accelerated towards the birch forest, the bullets chased them behind them, like the sickle of death, just three seconds seemed to be as long as three centuries, both of them were running with all their strength, and they could run into the woods, but then the accident happened, there were only three people who shot in the forest on the west side of the tree before, but no one expected that there was actually a fourth gunman hidden inside, and the distance between him and the two was very close, no matter how lively it was outside, he had been squatting in place and motionless, until this moment it finally showed its fangs.
At such a close distance, there was almost no chance of a miss, the masked man raised the submachine gun in his hand, but at the same time Simon also took off the rifle on his back, there was no time for her to aim, no time to adjust her breathing, and stabilize her shooting stance, she could only pull the trigger while running.
The gunfire flickered, and the next moment I saw the masked man holding the submachine gun with his pupils shrink suddenly, and his posture was fixed at the last moment when he pulled the trigger, and then his body fell limply to the ground.
It's a pity that there was no extra time for the two who escaped death to breathe, and the gunshots in their ears did not stop.
It was not known who had run into the forest, so some of the masked men had to surround the area, while others continued to confront the guerrillas.
Zhang Heng took off the submachine gun in the corpse's hand, picked up a few boxes of ammunition for spare, and Simon turned to the northwest, if Maggie didn't deceive, the northwest direction should be the weakest place in the entire encirclement, but this does not mean that there is not a single guard there, with the experience of half a minute ago, the two had to become much more cautious.
Although the woods are good for hiding your body, they are also easy to be ambushed.
Simon still didn't know what was going on, especially when she untied the mask on the masked man's face and found that it was her own compatriot.
Zhang Heng suddenly felt that sometimes the language barrier was not a bad thing, so that he didn't have to tell Simon in person that her country had betrayed her.
The two didn't stay in place for too long, and after picking up weapons and ammunition, they continued to touch the depths of the forest, and encountered three waves of enemies along the way, but basically they were all alone, at most only in groups of two, Simon has an unusually keen sense of hearing and vision, and can always find the opponent first, so every battle ends quickly.
And as it went deeper, Zhang Heng could clearly perceive that there were fewer obstacles encountered, which also showed that Maggie was not lying, and they should be able to break through the opponent's defense line soon.
However, at this moment, shouts suddenly began to be heard in the forest.
Zhang Heng couldn't understand what those people were saying, but he could clearly feel that Simon's mood on the side had changed, and she suddenly stopped there and didn't move her steps again
Zhang Heng can actually roughly guess what tricks the gang is playing, which is nothing more than trying to find a way to smear him, pretending that this is an arrest operation against him, and then using the state to coerce Simon to stand in line.
This is actually quite an ironic thing, it is clear that the latter's country has betrayed her, but now he is making up lies to try to take advantage of her loyalty, if he can communicate with Simon in Finnish at this time, he can naturally tell the truth to the latter, but the other party obviously knows his situation well, and now it is clear that he is bullying him for not understanding the language.
In fact, Zhang Heng's vocabulary bank is not really so unbearable, and he can still try to squeeze out some words, but the other party has not calculated this kind of thing, and his stammering defense will only look more suspicious at this time.
So Zhang Heng simply closed his mouth and remained silent.
In fact, he had already said what he wanted to say in that room, and the rest was up to Simon himself to believe in that side, although now every second of their stay would increase the danger of one more point, but Zhang Heng still did not urge the girl.
The two of them stood silently in the night until the sound of rustling footsteps sounded in their ears.
Simon looked up at Zhang Heng, the latter's expression looked as calm as ever, the current situation was not favorable to Zhang Heng, he had to make the worst considerations, if Simon was really deceived by the words of those masked people, then he could only use some strong means to take her away first.
But what Zhang Heng didn't expect was that the girl then raised the rifle in her hand again, decisively pulled the trigger, and a figure fell down in the woods in the distance.
Simon replied with his actions.
Compared with strangers she has never met, she is obviously more willing to trust her companions who get along day and night.
Women are sometimes such completely unreasonable creatures, and no amount of reason can compare to their own intuition.
