That afternoon, Wei Ran and Father Doferro each sat on a wooden pillar, surrounding the large wooden pillar. The former was busy removing the usable parts from the damaged submachine gun and assembling it into a

The new submachine gun, the latter is trying to solve the problem of the Simonov anti-tank gun being sent out that often jams.

While the two of them were busy, the others were also idle. These young men, under the leadership of political commissar Vinya, shouted at the two mules, dragged back a few dead logs from the distant forest, sawed them into planks, and cut them into planks.

These wooden boards were nailed together to make simple beds and tables.

When the setting sun was once again obscured by the treetops, Wei Ran finally managed to repair three of the four broken submachine guns using the scrap parts that Mr. Dofilo had accumulated.

In this way, they managed to collect 15 submachine guns. Although this number was still far behind the needs of the Taras platoon leader they had never met before, Father Dofero took the initiative to get an extra one.

German machine guns to them.

All the weapons that were to be loaned out were piled together in categories, and everyone worked together to use axes to cut a large tire into pieces the size of a fingernail, put them into the empty wine bottles, and put extra inside.

In came some seized used motor oil, rosin blocks that can be found almost everywhere in the forest, even some cut-up cloth and even diatomaceous earth that was dug out from the shack and then crushed.

Nowadays, these wine bottles are far from being capable of actual combat. They only need to fill them with fuel and plug them with a ignitable cloth cork. But obviously, this step can be completed before they need to be used in battle.

It's too late.

"The rest are all our weapons."

After finishing preparing the weapons, Vinia sat on a tree stump next to the tree stump where dinner had been placed, pointing to the pile of weapons at her feet.

In this pile of weapons, there is a German MG34 machine gun and two supporting ammunition belts with only 50 rounds - this is their most powerful firepower except for the two single-shot semi-automatic anti-tank guns next to it.

Apart from them, the only ones left are the Mauser rifles and limited ammunition that can easily be used by everyone, and there are only three MP40 submachine guns in total, each of which can only be allocated to two magazines, plus each

One grenade and only 12 Molotov cocktails in total.

But looking at the weapons supplied to the Taras platoon leader, even Weiran felt that they were a bit too generous. Among the weapons were a Simonov anti-tank gun and two machine guns that were captured just yesterday, as well as scrapped weapons.

5 50-round ammunition belts.

In addition, there are the 15 submachine guns and all the pistols, as well as the grenades and Molotov cocktails that still accounted for the majority after dividing the eight of them - as well as a bag of apples discovered during the day and a telescope seized yesterday.

.

"Dad, has that AVS36 not been repaired yet?"

Wei Ran asked curiously. He had just gone back to the shack and took a look. The semi-automatic firing rifle was sitting on the table that had just been nailed down.

"The gun wasn't broken at all"

While eating his canned poria and apple soup, Father Dofero explained vaguely, "But we have used up all the bullets it can use. Speaking of which, how many rounds do we still have in our anti-tank guns?"

bullet?"

"Give platoon leader Taras 10 bullets. We still have 22 bullets left."

Vinya put down his Soviet lunch box and replied, "Recently we need to go to the previous battlefields to look around and see if we can pick up some more weapons and ammunition."

"There are countless landmines placed there by the Germans," David couldn't help but muttered.

This non-issue question is destined to go unanswered, but even Wei Ran, who has just joined the guerrillas, knows it clearly. If those two anti-tank guns run out of ammunition, they will try to "rob" Germany again in the future.

A human transport team would probably have to pay a higher price.

After finishing the satiating dinner in silence, everyone tied up the weapons and ammunition they were going to lend out with ropes and hung them on the backs of the two mules.

"Alyosha, Sasha, you should follow me..."

"Commissar Vinya"

Wei Ran shook the camera in his hand and said, "Let me follow. If we have a chance to go to their camp, I can take a photo of them."

"Then follow up"

Vinya agreed very happily, and Alyosha each led a mule, and followed Sasha who was holding an oil lamp in his hand.

Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly picked up his German backpack and followed the two mules into the dark coniferous forest.

This journey was not smooth. Not only was the road difficult to walk, but they also had to extinguish the low-brightness oil lamp as quickly as possible several times because they heard the roar of aircraft engines in the sky and hid.

I waited patiently in the shadow of the pine trees for the noise above my head to completely disappear before I dared to move on.

At the end of the team, Wei Ran would occasionally take out the compass to look at the direction, and then turn it over to look at the time on the return watch.

They walked in circles in the forest from eight o'clock in the evening until about four o'clock the next morning. Along the way, Alyosha and Sasha inevitably complained that the other party was too arrogant. They clearly needed weapons, but they still had to walk for so long.

send over.

No matter how dissatisfied the two young people were, when Wei Ran always felt that the surroundings were too quiet and made him particularly uneasy, Sasha finally stopped.

Soon, a small light suddenly appeared in front of him and flickered on and off. Seeing this, Political Commissar Vinia first signaled everyone to hold the mules and hide them, and then he took a few steps further away and seized them.

A square box flashlight sends a set of flashing signals.

After the two parties confirmed their identities, there was a rustling movement around Wei Ran and others. A moment later, more than 20 people surrounded them from four directions.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As they got closer, Wei Ran also noticed that these people were all wearing standard Soviet uniforms, but they had removed all the markings such as epaulettes, ranks, etc. Soviet uniforms and matching boats

hats, and all of them were wearing Soviet cloaks.

On the other hand, they were wearing high-waisted leather boots that were not much different from German marching boots. From this small detail alone, we could tell that most of these people were not rookie soldiers with little combat experience.

"Commissar Vinya"

The leader, a tall man, saluted in the dim light of the kerosene lamp, then enthusiastically held Vinia's hand and said, "Thank you for your help!"

"Platoon Commander Taras is very polite."

Vinya said and patted the weapon on the mule gently, "Alyosha, please quickly take off the weapon and distribute it to everyone."

Hearing this, Alyosha reluctantly untied the rope, and together with Wei Ran and Sasha, distributed the weapons, ammunition, and even the bag of wild apples to those around him who had already lined up consciously.

Red Army soldier.

"Why are there two of you missing?" Vinia, who had been watching, asked curiously.

"One of them was killed in the battle this afternoon, and the other was seriously injured and was taken away by the Germans."

Platoon leader Talas finished speaking and wiped the beard on his face vigorously, "Vinya, we also brought you some gifts."

"Oh? What good thing is it?" Political Commissar Vinia wisely changed the subject.

"Bring us our gifts"

Taras waved, and two soldiers immediately pulled out the bushes not far away. Then, one of the soldiers pulled off a Soviet cloak from inside, revealing the gift inside.

When the light of the oil lamp illuminated the gift, whether it was Vinia, Alyosha or Sasha, their faces all showed expressions of surprise, but Wei Ran only had a look of astonishment on his face.

This is a Deshka 38 heavy machine gun - the heavy machine gun that Wei Ran once experienced at Alexander's private shooting range! He especially remembered that there were several round bullets that penetrated the shield of this machine gun.

hole, and these characteristics can be matched on the machine gun in front of you!

But compared to the machine gun itself, and compared to the astonishment of Weiran, a later visitor, what really made the three of them breathe heavier was the dozen or so 50-round magazine boxes placed at the foot of the machine gun!

Without waiting for any of Wei Ran and others to ask questions, the Taras platoon leader took the initiative to explain, "This machine gun was used when we were performing the post-break mission. At that time, some of its ammunition feeders appeared.

The problem almost caused the front to collapse.

Before retreating, we threw it and all the bullets into the swamp, and we dug them out yesterday. Commissar Vinia, this machine gun is given to you. It can play a greater role in your hands.

effect."

"Don't you keep it for use?"

Alyosha asked a stupid question, "It is much more powerful than the German machine gun. I have helped transport ammunition on the front line before, and I have seen how it looks like when it fires."

"It is indeed much more powerful than the German machine guns. Even the German light armored vehicles can be easily torn apart."

A Red Army soldier who looked younger than Platoon Leader Taras, without a boat cap on his head, but with a Nagant revolver on his waist, threw the submachine gun he had just received over his shoulder and explained,

"But it is so heavy that it requires at least four people to pull it to move quickly in this kind of forest."

Having said this, the soldier gently touched the nose of one of the mules, "We don't have such good animals, and I guess you are not willing to lend us these two animals."

Seeing Alyosha and Sasha subconsciously holding on to the mule's reins, the soldier smiled and continued, "Without the animals, this machine gun can't move quickly. We don't want to ambush the Germans who are rounding us up."

Then, give up the weight of carrying the loot to this overpowered machine gun."

"In this case, we will accept it without mercy."

Vinya glanced at Sasha and Alyosha who were relieved, and asked deliberately, "So this is why you asked us to send weapons so far away?"

"We have been carrying it here since the battle yesterday afternoon."

Platoon leader Talas took a bite of the apple handed over by the soldier just now and said with a tired look, "More than twenty of us carried it and the ammunition boxes all night, and we just got here.

, so I can only trouble you to walk a little longer."

Looking at Sasha and Alyosha again, Vinya felt in his pocket, took out a pack of German cigarettes and divided them among them, then pointed at Wei Ran and said, "We are tired after walking all night.

It’s quite embarrassing, Comrade Taras, if you are not in a hurry, why don’t you all rest here and wait until daybreak and let Victor take some photos for you?”

"You have a camera?"

Before Vinia finished speaking, the soldier with the revolver on his waist asked in surprise, "What model of camera is it?"

“It’s an outdated twin-lens reflex camera.”

Wei Ran explained with a smile, but had no intention of taking out the camera to show the other person. He was as "stingy" as Alyosha and Sasha, for fear that the other person would not be able to take it out after seeing it.
