Chapter 174

A light rain was falling, and everything around was wet.

When the land boots stepped on the ground covered with dead branches and leaves, they could squeeze out a puddle of water stains.

The old monkey scanned everything in the forest vigilantly!

Although the weather was a little warmer, the branches still did not sprout.

Without the shade of branches and leaves, the sight is still good.

"I feel like this forest is ghostly, and it's fucking shivering from the moment I came in."

As the deputy company commander, Ding San followed behind the old monkey.

This did not conform to the combat regulations of the Ming army, because normally, the company commander and the deputy company commander could not stand together.

But Ding San and the old monkey didn't care, they felt that if they were all killed by the trick, then the company must be helpless.

Today they're going into the woods, looking for the legendary enemy mortar position.

According to the predictions of artillery observers, it is likely that more than six mortars were hidden in the woods.

In the past seven days, more than 20 Russian troops have been killed on the front.

The number of wounded, which died two and a half cups.

None of the Russian soldiers were shot dead.

The continuous drizzle in Russia has reduced a large area of land from Smolensk in the north to Odessa, and it has become a swamp-like place.

The war, which had been going on brutally all winter, was forced to press the pause button.

All the troops, retreating five to ten kilometers back from the front line, the two sides actually disengaged.

There is only one exception, and that is the Kursk, which has changed hands several times during the war.

Now it's the only place on the front where you can hear gunfire!

The Ming army had limited strength and was even more reluctant to spend on trench warfare in the mud.

So, now it is the Russian army that is on top of the Kursk front.

Opposite them was an army of Hebrews, much better trained and equipped.

The Ming army had no choice but to send various units to support the Russian army in the form of small-scale round battles.

Although the Ming army was not on the front line, the artillery superiority was still there, and when the weather was good, the Ming army still had Stuka.

The heavy artillery on the front line was carefully hidden by the Hebrews.

Generally some are fired in this rainy weather, probably because of the bad roads, which also affects their logistics, so the number of heavy artillery firing is not much.

Active on the front line all day long are all kinds of elusive infantry artillery and mortars.

These two fucking things usually attack targets within two kilometers, and the accuracy is amazing.

Especially the mortar thing, the projectile trajectory, the shells fall from the sky.

If you smash into a trench or foxhole, that's a big killer.

And the mortar does not have the unique whistle sound of howitzers, which makes people unguardable.

The front line, now is basically a mortar vs. mortar battle.

The most important task of the Ming army now is to find out the mortars from all kinds of forests and bushes, and then kill them.

"I also think there must be goods in here."

The old monkey clenched one hand into a fist and raised it high!

The whole company soon ceased to move, and the soldiers sought out stout trees to cover their bodies.

The soldiers are not expensive, and this time the old monkey came out with only a reinforced platoon.

The veterans and elites of the whole company are here, and this kind of action, bringing new recruits is likely to be bad.

The old monkey is not willing to risk his life to train new soldiers!

He pointed his finger at the two veterans, his eyes, and then forward.

The two veterans quickly understood, hunched over to the front, and covered each other's advances.

After the spearhead marched more than ten meters, the soldiers behind began to follow.

The front of the line was scattered, and the machine gunners and grenadiers followed behind the old monkey.

On rainy days, it was dark in the woods even during the day. Beyond thirty meters, the line of sight becomes very bad.

Although it is no longer raining, it is still very cold, and the breath exhaled is sometimes white.

The Ming army had a well-fitting raincoat and wore a padded jacket underneath.

The old monkey's eyes scanned around like a falcon, and his years of battlefield experience made him feel more and more uneasy.

The spearhead suddenly raised his hand, and everyone in the team immediately crouched down. The muzzles of the guns are pointed in all directions, covering each other!

The machine gunner and the grenadier quickly found two large trees and hid behind.

"Company commander, there's a corpse in camouflage in front of you."

The spearhead ran back and whispered.

Camouflage uniform, one of the unique symbols of the Ming Army.

The allied forces were varied, and the Italians liked to wear black.

Spaniards have greenish clothes!

The French are yellow, and the Prussians prefer gray.

The Austro-Hungarian army, which liked to wear blue uniforms.

Anyway, not a single country's army wears camouflage uniforms.

There was a corpse in camouflage uniform, which only meant that a Ming soldier had died here, and his comrades had not even had time to take the lead in his corpse.

This was very rare among the Ming army, and most of the time, the Ming army would take away the corpse of the robe.

"Don't inspect the body!" The old monkey's eyes shrank sharply, and he immediately shouted at the sharp soldiers in front of him.

It's a pity it's too late!

The spearhead had already turned over the corpse, wanting to see if it was the corpse of a Ming army.

"Boom!" The pressure thunder under the corpse detonated instantly, and the body of the spearhead was blown up.

The body scraped off an unknown number of dead branches and leaves, and then slammed into the tree.

The rotten corpse was lying not far from the old monkey's feet, and his chest was rotten, revealing white stubble.

I don't know how much shrapnel has been pierced into my body, my eyes are wide, and blood is pouring out of my body.

It's hopeless!

Sure enough, it was just a dozen seconds of convulsions, and this guy didn't even move without kicking his legs.

"Damn, there's an ambush!

Remove! ”

The old monkey spat out, and the machine gunner immediately set up the machine gun.

The front team of the whole team turned into a back team, and the two veterans with broken backs took out plastic bombs from their backpacks, pulled out the pins, and threw them in a convenient place to leave.

As soon as he withdrew more than thirty meters, a series of explosions erupted in the place where the corpse had just been made.

The intelligence is indeed not wrong, there are mortar positions in this forest, and listening to the sound, there are at least six.

These mortars use instantaneous fuses.

Even if a cannonball is touched by a tree trunk, it will explode violently.

Shrapnel fell from the sky like rain, and even lying on the ground could not be hidden.

Fortunately, the old monkey reacted quickly and the whole team evacuated quickly, otherwise, I don't know how many people hung up at this time.

"Run!" The old monkey couldn't care about it at this time, and with a greeting, he took the lead and ran wildly towards the way he came.

Ding San ran faster than him!

The machine gunner, even more so took the machine gun and ran.

Gu Dai

The shelling was carried out only two rounds, and quickly began to hit the extension.

The machine gunner ran out of twenty meters, and just where he was lying on his stomach, a mortar shell fell.

The sound of shrapnel hitting the trunk of the tree was incessant, and everyone heard it tingling.

Even if he wears a steel helmet on his head, this shrapnel hitting his body is not a joke.

The Hebrews stopped after only three rounds of shelling, because the enemy could flee too far at this time, and it would be a waste of ammunition to fire any more artillery.

The old monkey led his men to run wildly in the forest, and his men alternately covered the retreat.

Soon, a dog barking came from behind.

"Stop, it's going to be overwhelming." Ding San said breathlessly.

The whole team was retreating, and there were only two or three people in the back.

This formation is easy to be quickly broken by the enemy's superior forces, and then smash and fight, and the morale of the team will collapse in an instant.

Because, no one wants to stay behind and die.

"Stop! Battle formation, first kill the bastard who followed in front of you. ”

The old monkey gave an order, and the team dispersed directly.

Everyone began to look for a hidden place, Ding San found a big rock, set up a sniper rifle on the side, and was ready to shoot at any time.

In the darkness, an explosion was heard.

It must have been the pursuers who stepped on the mines that had just been planted, and since you are yin, then don't blame us for being ruthless.

The mines of the Ming army are small in size and have little power in explosion.

But ......, it's enough to blow up half of your feet, and the most powerful is only enough to blow up one of your feet.

There are many, or the simplest structure of the pressure hair.

The weight is only three or two, and it is inserted into the ground when it is laid.

This thing is actually a bullet, pressed against a spiky iron nail. A thin iron bucket is placed on the outside, which is regarded as the barrel of a gun.

As soon as someone steps on it, the bullet will pierce the bottom of the foot.

Even if you are King Kong alive, don't think about walking again if you are injured like this.

The mines of the Ming army have always injured people, not people who want to be killed.

In this way, the enemy forces had to divide more men to care for the wounded.

At the very least, the wounded had to be dragged to safety.

This kind of mine, light weight, small power, simple and convenient to lay, is really a home travel, killing people and goods must be a good thing.

It is not a hassle to carry it with a single soldier, and it is not troublesome to carry ten or twenty in a backpack.

A flash of lightning slashed through the air, and the lightning lit up, and the old monkey saw a vicious dog running wildly in the woods with its white teeth exposed.

The beast was so fast that it dodged several bullets from the Ming army.

It was only a dozen meters away from the old monkey's hiding place, and the old monkey casually pulled out the box cannon and pulled the trigger on the beast.

"Bang Bang!" Three shots were fired in a row, one of which hit the dog's head, and the dog fell to the ground and pumped.

Inside the woods, there was the sound of gunfire.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far and was blocked by tree trunks on the road.

"Click, lala......!" There was another thunderclap on the ground.

The lightning reflected a dozen-yellow guys, who were running at a rapid pace with guns in hand.

"Bang!" Ding San was the first to fire.

One of the guys who rushed to the front fell to the ground, and the grenadier who had been waiting for a long time also twisted the wrench at this moment.

"Tom!" The bomb inside the grenadier flew out, and soon the shell exploded.

The bomb wasn't a bomb, it burned violently behind the Hebrews, forming a huge ball of light.

Under this huge background light, the figures of the Hebrew pursuers were exposed.

The Ming soldiers shot at these Hebrews as if they were targets.

Especially Ding San, he almost knocked down one with one shot.

Even though it's in the woods, the sniper rifle is still brave.

Poor Hebrews, because of the light, the Ming army could see them, but they could not see the Ming soldiers.

They can only blindly release the gun where the gunfire comes from, and as for whether they can hit it or not, it is a matter of fate.

"Tom!" The second incendiary bomb was fired, and there was not a single Hebrew soldier standing in the light of a huge ball of light.

"You two, lay mines, withdraw!" The old monkey knew that these were just spearheads.

It could be heard from the messy gunfire in the back that the pursuers had at least one company, if not more.

That's it, run for a while, and ambush it.

Coupled with the mines, the old monkey quickly retreated with his men.

But just when the old monkey thought he could escape, suddenly a dense number of bullets were fired from the side.

The bullet passed through the woods and swept down two Ming soldiers in an instant.

One of them was shot in the shoulder, his entire arm drooped down, and he lost his combat effectiveness.

The other one was even more miserable, with a bullet in the neck and blood spurting out like a fountain.

The artery was cut open by a bullet, and the man didn't live long.

The old monkey returned fire as he scurried over to the corpse and reached out to remove the name tag from his neck.

At this time, it was impossible to take his body away.

He pulled out a grenade from his backpack, pulled off the pin and stuffed it directly under the corpse.

"Dadada......!" MG34, firing wildly in the direction the bullet came from.

At this time, there is no need to save ammunition.

Almost in a dozen seconds, the remaining bullets in the ammunition box were gone.

"Reload!" The Heavy shouted.

The co-shooter hurriedly took out another six-hundred-round ammunition box from his backpack and began to reload in a hurry.

"Tom!" The grenadier shot an incendiary grenade again.

Under the reflection of incendiary bombs, at least twenty Hebrew soldiers appeared in the forest.

"Damn, I'm in ambush." The old monkey shot at the Hebrews.

I don't know how long it will take, so I have to save bullets.

Before the old monkey's words could land, gunshots came from behind him.

"Tom!" This time he didn't use a grenadier, and the old monkey loaded a grenade and hit it directly into the forest behind him.

The flames from the explosion made it possible to see at least five Hebrew soldiers in an instant.

"Besieged! Follow me and kill it. The old monkey quickly discerned his direction and retreated as he shot.

The Heavy also calmed down and began firing one short burst after another, stopping the Hebrew soldiers from advancing quickly.

Someone quickly laid the mines, and after laying the mines, they slapped the machine gunners.

The old monkey led the team to run wildly, and at this time he no longer had the composure he had just now.

If you fall behind, you'll die!

Finally, the front reached the edge of the forest.

In the darkness, he saw two tall figures.

The old monkey slipped and slipped into the ditch at the edge of the woods.

The men behind him did the same, and they all got into the ditch one by one.
