Chapter 234(1/2)
"There's more than one person!" Ding San also squatted down and turned the guy over.
The bullet was shot from the back and came out from the chest. The wound on the back was not big, but there was a big hole in the chest.
Through the bloody hole, you can clearly see the white bones, and there is even bright bone marrow oil flowing out from the fractures of the bones.
"This military uniform is not Polish. The Polish military uniform is gray. What he is wearing..." The old monkey was very confused when he saw this guy's military uniform. This military uniform looked more like the camouflage uniform of the Ming army.
However, the Ming army's camouflage uniforms are in black, green, and dark green, while his camouflage uniforms are mainly black, green, yellow, and gray.
It seems that their camouflage uniforms seem more suitable for the forests of Eastern Europe.
"This seems to be British, not Polish." The old monkey said doubtfully.
"All yellow-haired people have the same virtue, how can you tell whether they are British or Polish?" Ding San couldn't stand the old monkey's show off.
"This must be a British man. Look at his armband. I recognize it. The last time we captured more than 50,000 British people during the Kursk annihilation battle, some of them had this kind of armband on their shoulders.
I just didn’t know that they were even equipped with camouflage uniforms.”
"Company Commander...!"
A soldier found the shot mastiff, and another mastiff was wagging its tail and sniffing its companion.
The shot mastiff was lying on the ground covered with leaves, breathing hard.
There was a big hole in his chest, which was already filled with blood.
You can tell at a glance that this dog is not going to survive.
Aka rifle shooting at close range is far beyond what a mastiff can withstand.
"Keep chasing!" The old monkey remembered the Hebrew commando two months ago.
The situation that time was very similar to this time, almost exactly the same.
However, this time it is even harder to find and seems to be more dangerous.
"We can't look for it like this. I'll go there myself. Just give me a dog!" Ding San looked back at the soldiers wearing trousers and vests.
It's okay now, but if it gets dark soon, the mosquitoes in the forest will eat them.
Looking at the whole company, only Ding San was neatly dressed, but he didn't wear a helmet.
"Is that okay? The other side seems to be a tough one, so I'll join you!" The old monkey glanced into the distance.
Where the soil is exposed on the slope, there are obvious traces of military boots. But judging from the traces, it should be left by a person.
This is the only bit of good news!
"I've heard before that British snipers usually work in teams of two.
One is responsible for sighting and the other is responsible for shooting.
Now, what we should encounter is such a British sniper team.
Wandering around in this mountain forest is easier for me to do alone, at most I need the help of a dog.
But if he brought so many people with him, he might be ambushed.
You are the company commander, and the company cannot be commanded without you. I can go alone, I am just a British sniper, he will not be my opponent, don’t worry!"
Ding San patted the old monkey on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Indeed, it is very dangerous to have so many people looking for a sniper at night.
It would be better to let Ding San chase him alone, even though Ding San is not considered strong.
But even Batu, who was as strong as an ox, did not dare to face Ding San in the woods.
In Batu's words, "As long as you pick up a gun, there are almost no people who can fight with Ding San."
If that man was lucky enough to escape Ding San's gun, it must be because Ding San didn't want to kill him.
"Okay, be careful. If you can't catch me, don't chase me!"
The old monkey nodded helplessly.
"Haha! He came to our position, killed our brother, and wanted to leave..., haha!" Ding San sneered, took out the cannon box from the old monkey's waist and hung it up.
He patted the old monkey on the shoulder and chased him out with the Mongolian mastiff.
************************
"Commander, Napoleon is crazy. They took advantage of the heavy rain and the swollen Donetsk River to counterattack us.
Our troops resisted the attack from the opposite side, but suffered heavy losses. Zu Kuan's 1st Tank Division is rushing to rescue, but..."
"But what?" Li Xiao turned around and looked at Zhao Liangdong.
"However, the French army's blockade was very tenacious. The French army's offensive has annihilated most of the 54th Russian Guards Army, and only a small number retreated under the cover of our army.
Now, the French army has completed the three-sided encirclement of Kharkov. If our army does not retreat, it is likely to be besieged in Kharkov." Zhao Liangdong pointed to the map and explained the current battlefield situation to Li Xiao.
Indeed, it is just like what Zhao Liangdong said.
The French army has completed the three-sided encirclement of Kharkov, while most of the Ming army's troops are resting and reorganizing.
In particular, the 1st Cavalry Division had just completed a large-scale battle and had withdrawn to Omuir and was resting and recuperating.
Cao Bianjiao of the 2nd Tank Division is still unable to be drawn out on the Smolensk front line.
Li Dingguo of the 3rd Tank Division has just assisted the 1st Cavalry Division in completing the campaign to encircle the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They are also resting in Omuer and will definitely not be able to reach the Donetsk battlefield for a while.
The only one who can catch up now is Zu Kuan of the 1st Tank Division, but Zu Kuan has just finished the Crimean Battle.
The number of motorized hours has reached more than one hundred hours, and both people and equipment are very tired.
The most important thing is that, as the earliest armored division established, the 1st Tank Division has the highest proportion of Type 1 tanks, and it has not yet completed the replacement.
Today, almost 70% of tanks are still Type I tanks.
Among the remaining 30%, there are also many Type II and III tanks. The most advanced Type IV tanks with five pairs of road wheels only have a dozen or so.
With such equipment, dealing with today's French army will no longer be as good as cutting through tofu with a knife.
"The Fifty-fourth Army, or the Fifty-fourth Guards Army, actually couldn't withstand even a single attack from the French army.
It seems that this is what the Russian Guards Corps is like." Li Xiao looked at the map, knowing that he must retreat now.
Because the main force of the Ming army is resting and reorganizing, the only ones who can stand in front are the Russian army and a small number of Ming troops.
There is no way around this, whether it is a tank, armored personnel carrier, self-propelled artillery or infantry fighting vehicle.
If motorized for more than 200 hours, these equipments will become prone to malfunctions.
These things are all things that Li Xiao forcibly pulled out of the technology tree. Although the research on the things was successful, the supporting things were still not up to standard.
In particular, the problem of manufacturing accuracy of machine tools is very serious. Although the tolerances of individual parts have been controlled very small, the combination will be fatal.
After riding for more than 200 hours, these steel guys are either broken here or there. It is common to lie down on the road!
Therefore, the attacks of the Ming Army's armored forces were always short and powerful, killing people with one blow and then escaping thousands of miles away.
This is true for things on the ground, and it is also true for things in the sky.
Stukas deployed with super strength will sometimes fall from the sky for unknown reasons.
Each Stuka has only thirty to forty hours of full duty, and if it exceeds this number of hours, it will basically need to be overhauled.
Today, the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty Air Force is not the anti-aircraft fire on the ground, but the extremely unreliable engines and various parts.
Although, Ming Dynasty's aircraft engines are said to be able to work continuously for forty hours.
However, judging from actual experience, this number of hours cannot be reached at all.
If there is anyone in the Ming army on the front who is the busiest, it must be the technicians who have been transferred from the rear.
They are responsible for repairing and maintaining various tanks and armored vehicles, and are exhausted all day long.
This is why the Ming army had to rest for at least one to two months after every major battle.
All armored units are currently resting and recuperating and cannot participate in the battle.
Facing the clever attack of the French army on the opposite side, the Ming army could only choose to retreat.
"Evacuate Kharkov!" Li Xiao did not intend to fight all the ammunition and food for one city or one place.
The great Taizu said, if you leave the land and lose the people, you will lose all the people and land; if you leave the people and lose the land, you will keep the people and the land.
Facing the battle in Europe, Li Xiao's plan was not to compete for gains and losses for a moment or a place.
Just last winter, he was still considering whether to give up Moscow once it became undefendable.
Fortunately, the Germans themselves had civil strife.
Powerful Prussia turned into Germany, which seriously affected the progress of the battle on the front line.
By the time the Ming army changed hands, the German army could no longer advance one step further from Smolensk.
"No!" Zhao Liangdong breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the commander would order him to defend.
If that happens, not only will the Ming army suffer heavy losses, but even the two Russian Guards armies will be in danger of being wiped out.
The Russian army can no longer withstand a major defeat. If there is a major defeat like the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the morale of the Russian people is likely to collapse.
