Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road

  Chapter 429 Forest Water Park Hundred Miles

  In the dark part of the forest, the soldiers moved.

   The experience of being chased and killed for several days has already made the soldiers used to being dispatched urgently, and the past two days have been like being in heaven.

   There is food and drink, and it is easy to kill the enemy. Without a large number of comrades to sacrifice, killing the enemy has become very easy.

   Therefore, whatever Comrade Vladimir ordered, the soldiers did not want to immediately follow them.

   After five minutes, the soldiers had already put on their suits, and Lu Fei once again ordered that the German military uniform must be worn on the uniform jacket.

   First, when the weather is cold, the soldiers do not have winter clothes, so they can wear an extra layer to keep warm; second, if they are spotted by German planes flying through the air, they may not be recognized immediately.

The    team immediately set off and walked slowly eastward. Lu Fei and Iwan explored the way ahead, and the group walked through the forest.

   At this time, the sky is bright, and the sun shines through the loose coniferous forest everywhere in the forest, and the visibility is relatively high.

   The entire team only made the sound of stepping footsteps as they marched and kept relatively quiet. The team walked all the way through the forest. After more than two hours, a lake appeared in front of them.

   You can see the edge, but you can't wade through the water.

  Lu Fei stopped, took out the telescope to observe, and Boris also came up.

   Two minutes later, Lu Fei patted him and walked back into the forest.

   Lu Fei beckoned and called the officers over, squatted on the ground and pointed at the map: "Brothers, look at the map when you set off, I didn't expect this small lake to be so large, it seems that wading is impossible.

  To bypass the small lake, we have to walk 10 kilometers south. The key is that this road will allow us to escape the cover of the forest and enter the grassland. This is not very good. After all, we are still alive.

   So there is only one way to go.

   Make a raft across the lake in front of you. "

Boris nodded and said: "Indeed, the Germans have not found us, we are still safe, even if we are found when crossing the river, in addition to sending aircraft to bombard us, it is not realistic for the Germans to transport armored troops into the forest area, even if Send infantry to catch up, they are also facing the problem of crossing the river."

  Lu Fei nodded and shook his head: "No, try not to let the Germans find out, Boris, is there anything like straw rope in the German supplies we captured?"

  Boris shook his head and said, "No, but many of our soldiers were farmers before the war, and their hands-on ability is not bad. We can rub bark or use vines to make ropes to tie the raft. My brother, I used to be a carpenter."

Lu Fei stood up and ordered: "Boris, you choose half of the soldiers with strong strength to come out, it is best to find some skilled hands in logging and making rafts, hurry up and build rafts in the woods, at least two or three rafts are required. , 20 people can be transported across the river at one time.

  Select another 20 people to put the baskets into the river, send a few experienced comrades to fish, and try to solve the problem with river fish for lunch.

  The rest of the people dig smokeless stoves to build camps. We are here to make preparations and cross the river after dark. "

After the    order was given, everyone moved, and Lu Fei had nothing to do.

   He took the KV brothers and Elena to explore the northern forest, and soon found a brown bear and a male wild boar.

  Under the premise of not being able to shoot, the brown bears and the others couldn't handle it, so they had to avoid it, but the poor male wild boar was stuck with a dozen throwing knives and fell helplessly and was carried back by them.

   At two o'clock, the soldiers all ate grilled fish, and each of them also shared a lot of wild boar, which was a good supplement for a handful of protein.

   After 5 pm, with the efforts of dozens of soldiers, three rafts were tied.

After   it got dark, they put the raft into the water and tested the efficiency and performance of carrying people.

  After 7 o'clock, the three rafts carried 20 warriors. Under the helm of the experienced warriors, they rowed towards the opposite bank with long tree trunks as braces.

   After ten minutes, they reached the opposite bank a few hundred meters wide, and then the rafts came back to pick up people. By 8:30 in the evening, all the Soviet soldiers had crossed the river.

  Lu Fei ordered that all the bark ropes and vines tied to the raft be cut off, allowing the trees to run down the river to eliminate the traces of crossing the river.

   Then they went all the way to the east, and there were no natural terrain obstacles, but there were many lakes and rivers on the north side of the forest they were traveling, providing this small army with a lot of river fish as food supplies.

—

  November 1st.

   They had been advancing for 5 days in a large no-man's land separated by forests and meadows.

   Not only did the team not get overwhelmed by hunger and cold, but the soldiers had blood on their faces because they ingested a lot of protein, and the team's self-confidence was much stronger.

   During this time, apart from the occasional flying of German and Soviet planes in the air, the Germans did not catch up at all, which greatly relieved Boris and Peter, who had been worried about being pursued by the Germans.

   That's why Lu Fei has always been paying attention to hiding his tracks.

   During this time, the troops only marched on a dozen highways a day, and only marched at night. During the day, they slept and hunted to store food. This kind of stubborn style finally showed everyone with its effect that life-saving is the real king.

   At 9 am, the soldiers were awakened one by one from the smokeless stove in the woods. Now everyone has only two days of rations. Fortunately, Volokolamsk is a dozen kilometers ahead.

   An important road node to Moscow.

   At this time, the rumble of cannons came from time to time, and the front line was fighting fiercely.

   The group continued on the road, getting closer and closer to the front line, and the team's actions became more and more cautious, constantly using the vanguard to open the road and reconnaissance, and sometimes Lu Fei himself ran to the front to scout the enemy.

   An hour later, they walked into a small forest with only a thousand square meters. The rumble of cannons in front became louder and louder. Lu Fei and several officers went out to the edge of the forest to observe.

   There is a low hillside about a kilometer ahead, and the German army has arranged an artillery position in the low-lying area under the hillside.

  Lu Fei was not familiar with the German cannons of World War II. He only saw that these cannons had two wheels and the barrel length was about 3 meters. A total of 12 of these cannons were raising their muzzles and firing towards the east.

   Hundreds of German artillerymen were operating the artillery, and a radio soldier was talking loudly on the edge of the depression wearing headphones, and then the artillery adjusted the muzzle and fired again.

  A few hundred meters away from the artillery position, many military vehicles and mules were parked, and a group of German soldiers surrounded them for protection. The number should be around 70 or 80, about half a company's strength.

  Lu Fei read the German army's strength and orientation, and carefully retreated for a few dozen meters. The officers of the guard company and the KV brothers unconsciously gathered beside him.

   They have to discuss what to do and make life-or-death decisions.

  Boris first frowned and said: "This is the German 105mm le.FH18 howitzer position. There are a total of 12 guns. It is the support artillery fire of an infantry regiment. The battle ahead is at least the scale of the regiment level or above.

   Our strength is half that of the German artillery and protected infantry.

   Comrade Vladimir, I mean that we can avoid unnecessary sacrifice by bypassing this passage and detouring from other places. "

  Lu Fei frowned and didn't have a first statement, but Victor blurted out: "No, we can't get around, there are German offensive front lines nearby, and there should be large German troops on the left and right and in front of the German artillery positions we are facing.

  I am a gunner by birth, and I know the location of such a medium-range artillery position in general. It must be the area with the densest armored or infantry troops around it, and they are about to launch a large-scale attack.

   You have all seen why the German artillery positions were set up behind the hillside? In order to be on the reverse slope, use the hillside to block our army's counterattack artillery fire.

   This is close-range artillery fire. Looking at the height of their muzzles, the straight-line distance of bombarding the target should not exceed 5 kilometers. "

   Boris and the three platoon commanders nodded involuntarily, the words of a professional artilleryman would not be wrong, and their faces became more solemn.

At this time, Lu Fei asked a seemingly unrelated question: "We annihilated a German company a few days ago, I remember capturing two mortars, do we have any soldiers who will use them? I found that Boris kept letting The comrades carried it after disassembling it."

Boris nodded and said: "Yes, this is just an ordinary mortar, what's not to use, our own mortar shells ran out, so we threw it away. We have gunners for the two German mortars. It will be used, and there are still about 30 shells."

   Lu Fei smiled and said, "That's fine, I have a solution.

  Tell me about my suggestion, we went to the front line with great pains and hardships, the purpose is to cross the front line and return to the motherland and the large troops.

   But I think that everyone does not have enough awareness or risk awareness of the dangerous situation. We are about to face a powerful German field force, no longer a small force behind to maintain law and order.

  As long as we are a little careless, the whole army will be wiped out. Without this determination to fight to the death, we are doomed to fall on the way home, and we are shot in the back disgracefully. "

Commander Peter's stretcher was brought over. Hearing Lu Fei's words, he nodded and said, "Comrade Vladimir is a true tactician. These words are very timely and necessary. Although we are in a hurry to go home, thousands of Don't think that you can return to the embrace of the motherland after a few laps.

   There will definitely be a fierce battle. We must be prepared to sacrifice. In the end, even if one person stands out, it is worthwhile to tell the base camp what we have done along the way. "

  Irina tilted her head and looked at the dignified officers. The corner of Ivan's clothes beside Lala said softly: "What are you doing so serious, aren't you just a slapper, it's too simple."

   Her voice was a little louder, causing all the officers to stare at Elena with question marks in their eyes.

Elena was flustered by everyone's stares, lowered her head and muttered: "If you are stupid, listen to smart people. Anyway, we have always listened to Brother Vladimir. What is there to think about? When a fool thinks, God will laugh. "

  Although the officers of the guards even thought the words were harsh, they still felt that the words were not rough. Comrade Vladimir did have a lot of small and shameless tricks.

   Everyone looked at Lu Fei again.

  Lu Fei shrugged and said, "It's actually not difficult to fight this battle, the difficulty is that after we finish fighting the Chinese artillery, there is no way out!

  We must rush to the front immediately, otherwise the German troops near the artillery position will close up, and we will be finished. "

Boris scratched his head and said: "Comrade Vladimir, you can first talk about **** nearly 200 national devils in the artillery position. After that, you can't see and control the things that follow, and the team can't be here for a long time. stay."

  Lu Fei said with a smile: "Actually, you all fell into a misunderstanding. The first is that we are going to take the initiative to attack the German artillery positions; the second is that we only have less than 120 people, and the firepower is only a few machine guns."

  Victor asked suspiciously: "Isn't it? Are the two points you said not true?"

   The other officers were also puzzled, and they all felt that their brain capacity was not enough, and they could not even tell the truth.

   Lu Fei smiled and said: "No, we don't take the initiative to attack the German artillery positions, the German soldiers will come to attack us, and then be knocked down by the machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles we have arranged.

   Don't think I'm talking about the Arabian Nights, let me remind everyone that we have mortars. If two mortars keep firing at the German artillery positions, what will happen to them? "

  Victor slapped Ivan on the thigh and suddenly realized: "The mortar shells may detonate the shells of the German howitzers at any time, and they will definitely attack our mortar positions immediately."

  Lu Fei continued: "So I said that there are more than a hundred of us. The artillery shells on the German howitzer positions are our artillery units and our most powerful reinforcements!"

  Everyone is overjoyed, this battle is much easier to fight, and it is better to wait a hundred times than to charge on the open grass.

   Boris suddenly thought of a possibility when he was happy, and said cautiously: "Comrade Vladimir, what if the German army turns its cannons and shoots at the forest where we are."

Victor couldn't help laughing, and replied: "This is a 105 howitzer! It can't shoot at such a close distance, even if it wants to shoot directly, it has to be dragged out of the low-lying ground and waited for it to pile up in the open space. In the artillery position, the MG42 and DP machine guns have already killed the artillery on the artillery position several times."
