Chapter 80: The Trench

The fat man and the thin man reported their names and the number of the unit they were going to report to one after another.

The people on the other side also reported their names and unit numbers.

Then, the temporary password was also matched.

Sure enough, they are all their own people.

Comrades were found again. Everyone was excited. When parachuting and landing, many comrades-in-arms were killed by enemy artillery fire. It is embarrassing to be able to meet the surviving comrades-in-arms, and there is a feeling of being separated from each other.

Through the conversation, the fat man understood. They were also alone before, and they all met one by one later. Encountered the enemy, but it was well hidden and undetected.

Liao Xiaofeng is chattering, and people are crazy. I can't hide things in my stomach. Whether it is good or bad, he will share it with others.

He didn't feel ashamed to talk about his own unfortunate troubles.

When those people heard that it was the fat man who saved him and killed three Imperial soldiers with his bare hands, everyone looked at the fat man differently. A few eyes looked up and down at the fat man's fat body, as if they had a guess in their hearts, and exchanged their opinions with each other, and finally concluded that the fat man was the legendary person.

Someone asked tentatively: "Tang Xiaobao......"

"Just call me fat." The name Tang Xiaobao is too ungentlemanly. I didn't think there was anything in the academy, and it didn't matter what the students were called, but now it's different from before. He is now a military man. A soldier has to have the power of a soldier, he has to be like a man, and he has to be angry.

The term fat man is very popular, but it sounds more mature than Tang Xiaobao. In the future, everyone would rather call him fat.

Staying with a fierce man who killed someone not long ago is a little stressful. It can be seen that the fat man has such a good attitude. Everyone relaxed and became less nervous.

"That...... Fat, fat brother, are you the devil doctor who single-handedly laid down dozens of recruits in the special company? I had a good time with the flowers in my hands, and I heard that the arms and legs of the recruits of those special companies were unloaded on the ground. Is it true? The questioner's eyes were fiery, and he had a sense of immediacy chasing stars.

The thin man's ears stood up, and his eyes looked the fat man up and down strangely, "I said fatty, you can do it, and you have such a charming nickname, Devil Doctor!" Tsk, that's awesome! I'll mess with you from now on. From now on, you are my boss. You tell me to go east, but I will never face west, let me kill dogs, never throw chickens......"

"Go aside, don't follow the coaxing." The fat man was also very surprised, he didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly, and it was evil enough, and he actually made the name of a devil doctor, wouldn't it be the same name as the master?

The fat man couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense." At that time, it was a competition. It's just a matter of learning. Hehe......"

The "hehe" invented by human beings is very magical, a sentence hehe, some people are coping, and some people are covering up, and they don't want the details to be known to outsiders.

The chubby and fat fierce brother is obviously the latter.

One person can lie on dozens of stomachs, so it is not surprising that he killed three soldiers of the Imperial Army with his bare hands.

Invisibly, the fat man became the temporary governor of these people.

Including the fat man, there are fifteen people in total. Small combat teams were formed.

Don't look at the small number of people, but there are a full range of troops, organic repairers, electronic communication troops, scouts, sappers, demomen, snipers, cooks, and a staff officer.

In terms of military rank, this staff officer named Pete is a lieutenant, a graduate of the Military Academy, and he was directly hung up with the rank of lieutenant after joining the army. He was an officer, and the rest were ordinary soldiers. But he doesn't have a bit of an official position, and he is willing to be the fat man's deputy. Because he found that the fat man was very capable of actual combat. In the current situation, only those who are experienced in actual combat can get out of trouble and shake off the enemy's pursuit.

People who can put themselves in the right position according to the actual situation are smart people.

Pete's counselor is very smart, but his physical strength is too poor. There was a fight with the thin man, and the two of them hung from the tip of the tail of the marching procession, and they looked like they were on par. It's all office food. Marching and fighting in the field, without the enemy's fighting, you will be tired and half dead first.

In order to speed up the progress, the fat man had to carry this one and push that a few times.

As they went, people joined the team one after another. It's already about forty people.

It was getting brighter and brighter, and they were getting closer and closer to the Don. The open field is right in front of you.

"Brothers, speed up, and it's safe to cross the Don."

There was no interception by the pursuers along the way, and the headset picked up by the fat man remained silent.

The situation is unknown, it may be that those false targets set by the thin man have led the enemy away, or it may be that the enemy is playing some conspiracy.

Hopefully it's the former, and if it's the latter, then it's a big problem.

The closer he got to the Don, the more apprehensive the fat man became. He is now the temporary commander of the team, and everyone's lives are equivalent to holding his hands, and the pressure is very high.

The east is white, and the thin white mist of the early morning rises. As the morning dawns, visibility becomes clearer.

Everyone hid in the small woods. They all knew that the grassy open field in front of them was the key.

The distance of crossing six or seven kilometers is not far, and if you run at full speed on two legs alone, it will take less than half an hour, and twenty minutes is enough.

The point is that everyone's physical strength is almost exhausted by now. In this state, it will definitely not reach the usual speed.

"Everyone stay put, I'll go to the front to find out the situation."

Looking at the panting appearance, the fat man had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of pathfinding. In fact, he is also holding on. But there is no way, he is the leader, leading the captain, of course, there must be danger first.

Therefore, the phrase "taking the lead" is very deceitful.

"Fatty, I'll go with you."

"I'll go too."

"And me."

A few scouts with good physical strength rushed to accompany the fat man.

But they were all rejected by the fat man, and he had more freedom of movement alone. And once you encounter a dangerous situation, it is easier to deal with it. After a few words of explanation from Staff Officer Pete, he turned and rushed into the open field overgrown waist-deep weeds. The huge figure disappeared in an instant. Completely disappeared into that sea of grass. Disappeared silently, without any fluctuations.

Pete and the others were stunned, this fat man was simply amazing. With this alone, few people can do it.

In the eyes of outsiders, the thin man is the most familiar with the fat man, and Pete and others have asked him, "The fat man is really a mechanic and not a special soldier?" ”

"It can't be an old bird pretending to be a recruit to find a sense of existence, right?"

", have you ever seen an old bird with such a tender face?"

"That's not necessarily, many people look like eighteen in their thirties, this is the legendary frozen age."

"Fuck off, that's to describe a beautiful woman, and a fat man is a pure man."

"At first glance, I thought this fat man was a cow."

"Sneaking around, the instructor of the recruit company is not as slippery as him."

"Alright, everyone, be quiet, stop a little." The thin man considers himself a fat friend, and he also recognized the boss before. Now that the boss is being worshipped, his face is also stained, and he coughs lightly, attracting everyone's attention, "As far as I know, the fat man is indeed a recruit." But he's a special recruit. is destined to lead the coquettish. I'll leave it here today, this fat man will definitely be famous in the league in less than a year and a half. If anyone doesn't believe it, then we'll see. ”

"If the fat man can take us safely across the Don, I will believe it."

"Me too."

There is a lot of noise, there are echoes, there are doubts, and most of them are looking forward to it.

With the backbone comes dependence. These recruits completely forgot that they were soldiers themselves. Pinning all your hopes on the fat man is itself a manifestation of forgetting one's own responsibilities.

Pete didn't speak, the atmosphere of the team is very abnormal now, but it is not appropriate to say anything at this time, it is always good to have hope.

Whether the front is hope or despair, it depends on the news that the fat man has come back.

……

The fat man lay quietly in the grass, and his heart sank to the bottom.

No wonder there seem to be fewer pursuers along the way. It turned out that people were fighting with the idea of waiting for the rabbits, and they were all piled up by the river.

More than a dozen of the Empire's multi-legged individual armor lay on the ground with their legs crossed like large spiders. He was covered with camouflage cloth. From a distance, it is indistinguishable from the surrounding piles of rocks, and only a close look can tell the difference.

Behind them is the Don River, the current is not fast, and the sparkling surface of the river is only about two or three hundred meters. This section of the river is the narrowest and the most suitable for swimming. But just these dozen mecha strangled the hope of crossing the river.

With the weapons and equipment they have now, there is no chance of breaking through head-on, so they have to find another way.

The fat man's belly was close to the ground, and he retreated cautiously like a crab, retreating a hundred meters away, turning around and jumping away quickly.

Everyone in the woods was waiting anxiously, and when they saw the figure of a fat man swishing out of the grass, they immediately surrounded them. Babbling about this and that. Pete saw that the fat man's face was not good, and his heart sank at that time.

"Don't make any noise, listen to the fat man's briefing."

The lieutenant officer still has a certain prestige. Pete spoke, and the surroundings fell silent.

The fat man briefly introduced the situation, but in fact, there was nothing to say. In a word, the other party is prepared by the river, and more than a dozen multi-legged individual armor are camouflaged and ready to attack.

"That's the way it is now, there's no chance of a head-on breakout. can only be ruthlessly tortured and killed by the other party. Come on, there are many people and many ideas, and everyone will talk about it. The fat man couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he could only listen to what others had to say first, mobilize everyone's wisdom, and brainstorm.

"Why don't we cross the river somewhere else?"

This proposal was killed by the fat man on the spot. He had made a visual survey before, and the river surface in other places had to be five or six hundred meters wide, and only this was a curved river, so it was the narrowest.

"Contact the troops on the other side and ask them to send someone to meet us." Someone else suggested.

"That is, we parachuted halfway, and the other side must have already gotten the news, maybe the troops sent to meet it are already on the way."

"That is also on the premise of crossing the river, and the receiving troops will not cross the river to meet us."

The Don River is like a moat, blocking the way of everyone's progress.
