Dense forests, freezing rain, slippery moss, enemies appearing out of nowhere, overly nervous teammates and corpses of American soldiers everywhere.

This was the first impression left on Wei Ran by the Hürtgen Forest in 1944, but compared to these, the M9 bazooka rocket launcher he held in his hand made him even more uneasy.

Because he knew that whenever there were German snipers hiding around him, he and Hunter, the soldier holding the bar machine gun, would definitely be the first to be attacked.

It is precisely for this reason that he is looking for hiding spots and possible enemies at almost every step.

"Captain Wright, where are our enemies?"

At the front of this team of only nine people, a soldier holding a Garand rifle couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry about where they are."

Another soldier closest to him whispered back, "They're in this forest, we'll see them all the time."

"Everyone be vigilant and stay quiet!" Corporal Wright, who was in charge of leading the team, reminded in a low voice, "Everyone pay attention to your feet and surroundings, and..."

"boom!"

A sudden explosion directly in front interrupted everyone's conversation, and immediately after, they heard screams coming from directly in front, and what seemed to be the voice of the sergeant named Timov calling for medics.

"Go up and help!"

Before Corporal Wright finished speaking, he was already the first to rush over. Seeing this, the people behind him naturally wanted to follow.

As the distance between the two sides narrowed, Wei Ran finally saw that right in front, one of the legs of the soldier named Kevin had been blown off. At this time, he was being killed amidst the shrill screams.

The soldier named Buck dragged him back, while the sergeant named Timov looked around with his gun raised vigilantly.

"There is a minefield ahead!" Timov immediately reminded loudly when he saw Wei Ran and others arriving.

However, before the medical soldiers came over, everyone in the dense forest heard the unique whistle of the mortar!

"Get down!" The corporal, who seemed to be named Wright, reminded the surrounding soldiers in a hoarse voice.

Almost as soon as he heard the whistle sound, Wei Ran rushed behind a pine tree that was thicker than his waist that he had spotted long ago. He threw the rocket launcher away and curled up.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion came from the canopy above his head. Immediately afterwards, Wei Ran heard the sound of shrapnel passing through the canopy at high speed and being embedded in the trunk, as well as screams coming from almost all directions around him.

.

"Hide behind the tree! Hide behind the tree! Stick to the trunk!" Wei Ran and Sergeant Timov shouted indiscriminately.

However, before the soldiers who were subconsciously lying on the ground looking for cover could stand up, a series of whistles came from above their heads, and in a very short time, the whistles turned into dense air explosions, mixed with them,

It sounds like a woodpecker tapping on a tree trunk.

Along with these explosions, the surrounding screams also became one, but the screams did not last long and became less and less.

Finally, the two-minute bombardment came to an end, and the forest with no end in sight regained its tranquility. Only the pine needles were left, falling from the top of the head, falling on the helmet net, and on the shoulders.

Falling on the wounds torn open by shrapnel.

"Light! Is Wright still alive?" A moment later, Timov's voice came from the front.

"Buck!"

"Still alive!" Buck from the investigation team immediately responded, "Kevin died, and his neck was cut open by shrapnel."

"Jack! Jack! Nathan! Dibbitt! Henry!"

Timov counted the names one by one, but Wei Ran took this opportunity to take off the thin boots on his feet that were not warm, carefully wrapped his feet in thick and soft foot wraps, and then stepped on the

A pair of German army boots.

When he kicked aside the boots he was wearing, Captain Timov happened to call his name.

"Yes, I'm fine."

Wei Ran quickly responded, and at the same time, from Tibet

He came out from behind the pine tree and bent down to pick up the rocket launcher that he had just thrown aside. Fortunately, the rocket launcher did not suffer any damage.

"Where did you get those boots?" Captain Timov was so startled that he almost lifted the M3 submachine gun in his hand.

"I just picked it up there," Wei Ran said nonsensically, pointing behind him, "It's still warmer than our boots."

"It looks very warm," Buck said with envy.

"Hunter, is Hunter still alive?" Captain Timov named the last name. "Still alive."

The soldier holding the bar in his arms responded quickly, "Captain Timov, there are only five of us left, do we want to withdraw?"

"Keep going"

While Captain Timov was speaking, he had already cooperated with Buck to pull the dog tags from the neck of the fallen soldier, pulled one off and stuffed it into the mouth of the fallen soldier.

"This is sending you to death," Hunter muttered dissatisfiedly, but still walked out of the hiding spot holding his weapon.

Looking around, Wei Ran discovered that in this 12-person team, 7 people were directly killed in the round of shelling. Among the remaining five people, one was hit in the butt by shrapnel.

Although they can survive, they obviously have no way to participate in the operation. But here, they are not even two hundred meters away from the camp they just left.

At this moment, the medical soldier who had been called before the bombardment finally arrived belatedly. However, this medical soldier was also injured. One of his shoulders had been dyed dark red by the blood that leaked out, and one side of his shoulder was stained dark red.

While running this way, he also inserted a tube of morphine around his own wound.

"Let me help you"

Wei Ran handed Buck the rocket launcher he was holding without any explanation, squatted next to the wounded man and helped tear off the clothes around the wound, and at the same time walked on the wounded man's legs to help keep him from moving.

"Orlando" the medic had already taken off a medical kit and opened it as he spoke. "Victor"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While Wei Ran responded, he took out a stick of morphine from the opponent's medical bag and stuck it around the wound. Then he slapped the opponent's hand away and picked up a handful.

Hemostatic forceps were used to directly pull out the shrapnel still stuck in the wound and throw it away.

Slapping the opponent's hand away again, Wei Ran picked up the sewing tool and began the rough suturing work.

"You know how to sew?" Orlando, who had his palms slapped away twice in a row, asked in surprise. "I'm a tailor."

Wei Ran responded jokingly, and after cutting the sutures, he asked, "Do you want me to repair your shoulder?"

"give it to you"

Orlando had extra trust in Wei Ran. He grabbed a bag of sulfa powder from the medical bag, tore it open, and sprinkled it on the wounded man's sutured wound in the same rough way. At the same time, Wei Ran had already begun to help him.

The wound on the shoulder was debrided.

While the two of them were busy, Timov and Buck had each picked up a Garand rifle, hiding behind the pine trees and observing the surroundings vigilantly. The soldier named Hunter had also taken cover.

Behind a pine tree, the unqualified machine gun was set up.

"stretcher!"

Orlando shouted in the direction behind him at the top of his lungs, and at the same time he and Wei Ran left the wounded who had finished bandaging.

"Your craftsmanship is not bad!"

Orlando looked at his wounds, reached out and took off the other medical bag from his waist and handed it to Wei Ran, "Keep it for use.

"Thank you." Wei Ran said politely, but he kept helping the other party bandage the wound where a small piece of flesh was cut off by the shrapnel, and then he took the medical bag.

"Why didn't I realize you had this skill before?"

Captain Timov didn't ask Wei Ran until the injured soldier was carried away on a stretcher.

"My family used to run a clinic." Wei Ran made an excuse nonchalantly while fixing the medical bag on his waist.

"I actually know a little bit," Buck grinned and said jokingly, "I'm from Montana, and I castrate all my cows and horses myself. To tell you the truth, those things are really big!"

"Wait until we catch

Maybe I can try your skills as a German guy later."

Hunter took out a pack of cigarettes from the jacket pocket of the body of his companion and put it into his pocket. He seemed to want to use a joke to dilute the sadness on his companion's hand, but at the same time he said extremely seriously, "If you ask me, I should put it in

Castrate all men in this country."

"boom!"

Before Hunter could finish his words, a crisp gunshot was heard from the forest directly in front of him. In this crisp gunshot, a ball of blood mist immediately spattered from Hunter's neck. He himself

His body stiffened and he fell straight onto the pine needles on the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

While Timov was shouting, he and Buck had already pulled the trigger in the direction of the gunshot. Wei Ran, who was just about to pick up the rocket launcher again, also rolled forward and hid behind the pine tree.

"Ding!"

Amidst the intensive gunfire, Wei Ran saw with his own eyes that the rocket launcher he had not had time to pick up was hit by a bullet on the back half of the barrel, leaving an impact mark the size of a peanut.

Wei Ran subconsciously retracted the hand he was about to extend, and Wei Ran instantly felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his forehead. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, the gunshot would have hit his neck!

"Suppression by fire! We need suppression by fire!" Buck shouted loudly, but what he got in return was intense firepower that suppressed him so much that he didn't even dare to show up.

The adventurous probe glanced at the German firepower point across a minefield from them. When Wei Ran looked back, he couldn't help but grin. He had to admit that the firepower point was really hidden. If the opponent's machine gun hadn't started firing, they wouldn't have been able to do it.

It was impossible to discover that behind the crown of the fallen pine tree there was a firepower point.

Looking back, Wei Ran stood up, stood on tiptoes and pulled down a broken branch above his head, and then used it to pull back the rocket launcher that had just been hit with difficulty.
