In the damp and rotten leaves, Wei Ran, wrapped in a cloak, quietly took out the telescope in the metal book, looked through the birch forest, and looked at the situation outside through the gaps between the dead branches.

By noon, the originally thick fog had completely dissipated, and the situation outside this small birch forest could barely be seen clearly.

It was only then that he realized that the German frontline positions were at most a hundred meters away outside the forest. The winding trenches extended all the way into the distance. From time to time, a machine gun fire bunker could be seen coming out.

, as well as a few direct-aiming artillery pieces modified from squatting tanks buried in thick soil.

In the direction of Postman Revery's side, there was a hill that was not too high but covered with birch trees and shrubs. At the same time, he also saw that halfway up the hill, there was another road connected to the mountain.

The winding trenches connected the positions at the foot of the mountain.

Even while he was peeping at the other party with a telescope, in the trench on the hill, there was a German dressed as an officer standing behind a stone, observing something with the gun scope.

"If I could take out the anti-tank gun at this time, I would definitely be able to kill a commander."

Wei Ran secretly muttered a pity, then shifted his gaze back to the direction he was facing, and continued to search the trenches for things that could be used to pass the time.

Soon, he discovered that behind the trench facing his body, there was a small, slightly protruding piece of earth. The top of the small earth patch was covered with grass, and there seemed to be traces of sandbags surrounding it.

After lightly kicking the artillery observer Andre's heel, Wei Ran whispered, "I seem to have discovered the German command post." After receiving a response, Wei Ran whispered.

Amidst the soft rustling sound, Andre carefully moved his body and changed direction, and asked softly, "Where is it?"

"A little to the left of the direction I'm facing, behind the trench line, is the small dirt bag covered with weeds."

Under Wei Ran's guidance, Andre quickly found the location he had just discovered, but soon he explained softly, "That may not be the command post."

"Why?" Wei Ran asked puzzledly.

Andre explained in a low voice, "There are no radio antennas around dozens of meters away, and they are too far forward. The command post will not be set up in that place."

"How about taking a note of where it is first?" Wei Ran thought for a moment and continued, "After we get there, we call for artillery to fire a few rounds at them. At least it can help us attract attention."

"I'll write it down first." After Andre said that, he said nothing. He just took out a small notebook wrapped in a tarpaulin from his arms and started writing and drawing.

The birch forest bathed in the autumn sunshine soon became quiet again. As time passed little by little, the sun above our heads gradually set to the west, and the light gradually dimmed.

Everyone, who had been lying in the pile of leaves all day, finally took out the dry food they carried and took a few simple bites, carefully moving their already numb bodies.

Finally, as the sun was blocked by the horizon, a faint mist once again enveloped the battlefield. The three of them were finally able to sit up. Nurses Danila and Lano who were in the bear cave also climbed out one after another. Everyone leaned on a big enough

The white birch trees moved their sore and numb bodies, while patiently waiting for the sky to get darker.

"Revli, when will we set off?" Sniper Danila asked again, "I'm worried that Pavel won't be able to hold on for so long."

"hold on"

Revry whispered, "We are going to the bottom of that hill later, so at least we have to wait until the fog is enough to block the searchlight."

Danila nodded silently after hearing this. This road was not the one he had taken when he came back in the morning. All he could do now was to follow Reveli's arrangements.

While everyone was waiting, the aroma of food wafted through the German positions again, and even in the trenches closest to them, the sound of cooking utensils being knocked could be heard.

Finally, when the chatter of the Germans had disappeared for a long time, the postman Reverie finally stood up straight and said, "Okay, it's time for us to set off. We must keep quiet later and don't let the things on our body make any noise.

A little movement."

Hearing this, everyone immediately began to check the various pendants on their bodies, and then jumped slightly. After confirming that there was no movement, they each patted Reveli's shoulder to signal.

The young postman breathed a sigh of relief, hunched over his waist, and carefully left the forest with the people behind him.

As the distance got closer and closer, the surrounding vegetation that could be used to hide the figure became shorter and shorter. The people who had just bent down and ran a few steps also crawled to the ground again under the leadership of Revli, and walked towards the ground little by little.

Approach the hill a hundred meters away.

But soon, they heard the sound of military boots hitting the ground from far away. The five of them stopped crawling together, and each covered themselves with a cloak, blurring the outline of their body and hiding in the bushes and grass.

At the same time, he secretly prepared to fire.

Less than two minutes later, a small group of German soldiers passed by on their right. From time to time, they would each turn on their flashlights to take a quick look around, and then immediately turn off the flashlights.

"Frank, how long do you think it will take for this battle to end?" A German soldier asked his teammates while casually glancing left and right.

"how could I know?"

The soldier who answered this question stopped in his tracks, took off his belt and peeed while saying almost show off, "But it will be my vacation soon. Maybe I can go home before Christmas."

"My holiday is after Christmas"

Another soldier complained, "This means that not only can I not see my parents before Christmas, but I also have to spend most of the winter in a place like this."

"I heard that we were originally sent to support Stalingrad?" Another German soldier in the patrol also took off his belt and started to urinate.

"You should be lucky that we weren't sent to that damn place," said the soldier who spoke first. "My neighbor was sent to Stalingrad. I haven't heard from him for months."

"Okay, let's go. In the afternoon, Rolf told me that he and Mark found a few beautiful girls who had been hiding for a long time near the village at the foot of the mountain and a good and quiet place. How about we wait until our patrol is over?

How about going to him and asking him?"

"Then we have to go faster!"

Watching these German soldiers go away, until the flashlight light turned out like a firefly's butt in the fog, Reverie stood up, beckoning everyone to follow him and immediately left the place and got into the foot of the mountain.

in the bushes.

Refri led everyone around the foot of the mountain for a long time, until he could vaguely see a machine gun fire bunker halfway up the mountain above his head, he stopped and carefully pulled away the fallen leaves next to a thick oak tree, and then unexpectedly

A one-meter-square wooden board was lifted, revealing a deep and dark hole.

At his signal, everyone went down the wooden ladder in the dark one by one. Leif, who was walking at the end, carefully re-covered the wooden board with dead branches and leaves, then got in and stepped on the ladder to lift the wooden board above his head.

Restore.

With a soft "chi" sound, Refri lit a match. With this faint light, he called on everyone to follow him and continued to move forward along the bumpy ground under his feet until he had walked twenty or thirty meters forward.

And after turning a corner, the young postman used the fifth burning match in his hand to light a kerosene lamp hanging on the rock wall.

In the glass lampshade, which was dark with oil smoke, small burnt yellow flames brought a little light to everyone, but also brought more and more doubts.

This cave is not very spacious. Along the way, the widest part is only less than one meter, and the height is only one and a half meters.

Seemingly knowing what everyone was going to ask, Revry explained in a low voice, "This is connected to a mine. In the past, we used to smuggle the mined coal home through this cave."

"Has this coal mine been occupied by the Germans?" Andre, the artillery observer, asked nervously.

"No"

Revry shook his head and explained in a low voice, "This place was abandoned before the war started. Even most of the mine entrances were blown down, leaving only some vents. Okay, let's set off quickly.

Bar."

After saying that, Revli walked at the front with a kerosene lamp, leading everyone to move forward with difficulty in the low, narrow and extremely humid cave.

This cave is far not as big as everyone imagines, but the forks are almost right next to each other, and there are even clear and clear water accumulated in some places. Just step on it, and the cinders settled on the bottom of the water will disappear.

The water is dyed black at an extremely fast speed.

However, just after they passed through this continuous water-filled tunnel, the girl's whimpering and the wanton laughter of two men came from directly in front, and at the same time, a bright light appeared at the far end!

Revry quickly covered the kerosene lamp with his cloak and blew it hard. Everyone in the darkness glanced at each other subconsciously, and then each raised their weapons.

"Use a knife," Danila whispered, while gently handing the sniper rifle and backpack to Nurse Lano who had been walking beside him.

Hearing this, Wei Ran also stuffed the submachine gun in his hand and the backpack on his shoulder into Reveli's arms, and Reveli, the artillery observer walking behind him, also took off the radio station on his shoulder and put it on his shoulder.

At the feet.

The three of them took off their cloaks in unison and stepped lightly on the wet ground. As the distance got closer, the girl's whimpering and the light of the fire, as well as the hissing sound of the kerosene lamp burning, also appeared.

It's becoming clearer and clearer.

Finally, when they came to a corner, they immediately saw that on the other side of the corner, there were two young girls who were probably younger than the postman Reverie, huddled in the outermost corner that could be reached by the light of the kerosene lamp.

, and on the other side of the kerosene gas lamp with its back to the three guards, there were four German soldiers who were taking off their clothes anxiously.

After looking at the wooden ladder hanging with kerosene lamps and weapons, the three guards looked at each other, then stretched out their hands to hold Daniela and Andre and shook their heads.

It wasn't until the four soldiers untied their belts that Wei Ran released his hands and was the first to rush forward.

Daniela and Andre's movements were no slower than his. At the same time, the three of them did not care whether the noise they made while running quickly would alert the four German soldiers who were on their heads.

Almost at the same time that Wei Ran's chosen target turned around due to the movement behind him, his hand was only less than half a meter away from the opponent's shoulder.

Before the German soldier could make a sound, Wei Ran's hand had already been lifted up and slapped on his chin, while the other hand also hugged his forehead.

There was a crisp "click" sound, and when Wei Ran released his hands, a slender Mauser bayonet appeared in his left hand.

At the same time, the Mosin-Nagant bayonets in the hands of Danila and Andre had also penetrated the lower backs and side ribs of two other soldiers.

The last German soldier still alive was about to rush to the ladder with weapons hanging not far away, but in panic, he tripped over his own pants and fell to the ground.

Before he could get up, Wei Ran was already riding on his back, kneeling on both of his arms, and at the same time the cold bayonet was pressed against the other man's neck.

Seeing this, Daniela and Andre immediately stopped, returned to the German soldier who had just been stabbed by them, and aimed at the back of the heart and stabbed him again.

It wasn't until Danila took down an MP40 submachine gun from the ladder and pointed it at the covered hole above his head that Wei Ran pointed at the girl in the distance with his other hand, and then pointed in the direction they came from.

He whispered, "Let Nurse Lano comfort them."

The light hid the girls who were still huddled together as well as Wei Ran and Danila.

Taking this opportunity, Wei Ran also quickly observed the environment here. The area of ​​this mine is not large, but it is more than three meters high. The innermost position is made of pine needles, birch bark and animal skins.
