Chapter 33: The Great War Begins
The next day, the combat mobilization began, and it would not take more than a week at most, and the big battle would begin, but this had nothing to do with licorice, because of the particularity of his profession, he only needed to prepare all kinds of equipment, and then wait for the troops to be deployed. Licorice was now sitting at the table, his hands propped up on his head, quietly waiting for the Lord God's next task.
"Ding~ The countdown is over, the return option has been locked, and the second stage of the newcomer mission has been issued."
Mission Description: Live until the end of the Soviet-German War, when the main god determines that the Soviet-German war is over, the return option will be re-unlocked, and at the same time, the rookie mission will be completely over, and each main god apostle will be evaluated and rewarded for their contribution to the battle when they return.
"The end of the Soviet-German war? What is the end of the story? Will it be surrender, or will it be powerless to fight again, will it be a temporary truce, or will it be completely destroyed? There is also a contribution, depending on this situation, the uncle estimates that the contribution is off the charts. Licorice thought nonsensically.
"You're still sitting here? Hurry up, we're leaving! John suddenly opened the door and walked in, and said in a hurry.
"What! So fast? Didn't mobilization preparations begin only today? Licorice asked with a surprised expression.
"Didn't you say before that the soldiers were nervous on the way here, they already knew that there was going to be a war, and the mobilization had already begun before we came." John shrugged his shoulders and said with a little helplessness.
"Bastard! Daniel didn't even tell me anything, I wasn't ready for anything! Licorice said with a tearless expression on her face.
"What else do we need to prepare? Don't you have everything with you? If you want to perform some special tasks, the equipment is also to go to the logistics to get it. John asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's to exchange things I don't need for chocolate!" Licorice said dejectedly.
"Isn't there already two more portions of the share given to you above, and it's not enough for you to eat?" John was helpless.
"That's just a hobby, when I was a child, I watched the great characters in the movie and seemed to like to eat chocolate, and then I tasted it myself, and it tasted really good, so I liked it." Licorice said.
"Whoa! Mine is for you, hurry up, we have a lot of work. John said as he reached out and took out the iron box he had just picked up yesterday from the glove bag behind his waist and threw it to Licorice.
"Well, I'll prepare a little, what is our mission this time?" Licorice said directly after catching the box, and stuffed the box into the bag on the back of the waist.
"It's very simple, follow the troops, keep rushing, and then kill any officer who comes into our sight." John said lightly.
"Hey! It's a simple task, but the terrain is a nuisance, a plain. Licorice was packing up.
"No, we mainly fight with the troops, most of the time we are still on the heights and villages." John explained.
"Well, I see." Licorice nodded and said, and after getting all the things ready, he picked up his rifle and prepared for it.
"That's it! Work started. ”
The two went directly to the regimental headquarters to report that the sniper squad led by licorice was directly under the command of the regimental headquarters, of course, the regimental headquarters would not give them any orders, everything was judged by the snipers themselves, as long as they did not leave the range of the troops.
The war began so suddenly, because the weather department told the military how good the weather would be next, and the roads that would not become muddy due to the rain were very suitable for the advance of the armored cluster, so the war was advanced, much earlier.
On the endless plains, a large number of tanks and vehicles are speeding forward.
"John, where do you think we're now? I'm almost losing direction. On a barrel car, Licorice looked at the tanks in front of him that occasionally stopped due to engine failure, and asked in a daze, this road is a constant rapid march, more exaggerated than when he was in France, rushing all the way forward, encountering the enemy all down, and then continuing to rush, Licorice didn't even have time to find a suitable sniper point along the way, so he could only follow the troops all the way forward.
"To be honest, I don't know, after all, we don't have a special map, and it's all plains, so it's hard to find a reference, but we should have run to the rear of the enemy's large army." John was also confused.
"It's very unpleasant, we haven't been able to use it at all lately, it's always been the armored forces that are breaking through, and we're following behind." Licorice complained dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't this very good, another great victory of the motherland, if we are to be sent to the field, then it means that the war has begun to stalemate, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short time, then a large number of casualties among soldiers will be inevitable." John comforted that while John was speaking, there were a large number of German planes flying overhead of the marching troops, and they were heading in the same direction as Licorice where they were about to go, and it seemed that there was another fight in front of them, and it was fierce, Licorice thought so.
"To be honest, it is only now, when we have been marching continuously on this vast plain for half a month, that I clearly realize that the enemy we are going to face this time is so powerful, they have an incomparably vast land, almost infinite depth." John sighed.
"Our goal is to be in front, occupy the small village in front of us to clear the way for the troops behind, then rest for a while to replenish ammunition and continue to advance, snipers go their own way." The commander of an armored unit assigned his subordinates a task, while Licorice and John sat next to him, and the other four groups of snipers in the sniper squad had already been dispersed and distributed to the various battalions that were in the process of penetrating.
After listening for a while, Licorice left with John and began to look for a suitable sniper spot.
"What do you think of there, we can snipe at targets in the villages and towns when they attack." Licorice said, pointing to a place.
"No, I think we should find a place where we can snipe at enemy reinforcements coming from the east and south." John gave his opinion.
"Listen to me!" Licorice said directly, John rolled his eyes and shrugged helplessly, I would have said no to this earlier, why did you ask my opinion.
When the two of them found the sniper spot, the attack on that side had already begun, and they were now racing against time, but they didn't have time to wait for the snipers to be ready to start, this is a militarized village and town.
"Hey ~ John, do you see that mustache behind the machine gun emplacement? Aren't you very disgusted with the Führer? He handed it over to you, don't you think he resembles the Führer. Licorice was observing the town's defenders, and after scanning around with a telescope, he spotted a Soviet officer with a mustache commanding the battlefield, and decisively surrendered him to John.
"Linus, I hate the Führer, but I also revere him!" John said dissatisfied, and then aimed his shot, which shot the mustachioed officer in the head.
"It's all the same, it's so complicated, hate is hate, like is like, you think too much." Licorice whispered back, and then began to concentrate on the sniper mission.
