War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 103 Three Wounded
"Did he kill you?"

Wei Ran, who rolled and hid behind a rock on the shore of the island, covered the wound on his buttocks, and asked with a loud voice.

"Killed to death, it seems to have been beaten to death."

While Mika was talking, he took off his tank cap and pointed his gun at it cautiously. Seeing that the expected counterattack did not appear, he changed his position and faced the upturned sled a few hundred meters away again. The car pulled the trigger again and fired another shot.

"Father Ino, are you alright?"

Wei Ran squatted next to the old hunter Yinuo and asked, the old man still had tiny scratches on his face caused by the exploding lens of the telescope, and the dark red blood from the position of the shoulder blade on his right shoulder had already stained his clothes red, There was even a fresh bullet mark on the butt of the SVT38 rifle that was thrown aside.

"I can't die." The old hunter Ino smiled bleakly, "Victor, it seems that I have to ask you to sew it up for me again."

"I can't help you this time." Wei Ran frowned, "The bullet is still inside, we have to find a doctor as soon as possible."

"I know where there is a doctor!" Mika mumbled while covering the wound on his cheek, then took out a shiny whistle from his pocket and handed it to Wei Ran.

Under the signal of the other party, Wei Ran took over the whistle and blew it vigorously. The sharp whistle sounded far away on the icy lake, and the two reindeer pulling the smoking sleigh also turned around involuntarily when they heard the whistle. back.

After Mika easily calmed the frightened reindeer with the barley in the sackcloth, Wei Ran also threw out the two burnt wolf fur blankets, and then lifted the seriously injured Ino father onto the sleigh.

"Let's go and see if it's the teacher who was killed by us." Father Ino said, holding the wound on his shoulder with gauze.

"Is the doctor you mentioned far from here?" Wei Ran handed Mika a dressing sprinkled with hemostatic powder.

The latter pressed the valgus wound on his cheek, grinned and said, "It's not far, go east along the lake for more than ten kilometers, and our reindeer will take less than half an hour at the slowest."

"Then let's hurry up"

Hearing this, Wei Ran shook the reins, imitating the way the two of them had done before, yelling at the reindeer and ran towards the upside-down sleigh cart a few hundred meters away.

These two big spiritual guys obviously remembered who whipped their buttocks not long ago, and even more remembered which bastard set fire to the sleigh, but because Mika was sitting in the car, although he was running and beating uneasily, snorted, but finally ran to the destination honestly.

When the sleigh stopped far away, the faces of the three of them were not very good-looking.In the corpses all over the floor, except for the faint coughing sound under the upside-down sled, the rest were all dead, and it was impossible to tell who was the real owner of the sled.

But behind the carcass of the reindeer, the corpse that had almost lifted the cover of the sky by the bullet did not have any weapons at all.

"Did I call the wrong person?" Mika muttered to himself with a pale face.

"Maybe they killed it." Wei Ran comforted in a pale tone, bent over and opened the upside-down sleigh, and pulled out the only survivor from inside.

The man was wearing ill-fitting buckskin trousers and a knitted sweater, wrapped in a khaki fur coat.The TT33 pistol pinned to his belt, the binoculars hanging around his neck, and the Soviet officer's leather boots on his feet all fully exposed his identity.

Taking off his pistol and binoculars and hanging them around his neck, Wei Ran took out the camera from his arms and pointed at the survivors on the ground and pressed the shutter. After he put away the camera, he knelt down and asked, "Zelensov Master?"

The person lying on the ground opened his mouth, and the gurgling dark red blood dripped onto the cold snow. He turned his head and looked at the sleigh that was more than ten meters away from him, and aimed at himself while sitting on the sled. Mika and the old hunter Ino, who was covering his shoulders, showed regretful smiles on their blood-stained faces.

Wei Ran suddenly realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to do something, an F1 grenade rolled from the opponent's cuff onto the blood-stained snow!

"Get down!"

The desperate Wei Ran only had time to yell, and overturned the body to suppress the grenade, then turned around and threw himself on the soft snow!

"boom!"

After the deafening explosion, Wei Ran, who was lying on the snow just now, felt that his eardrums were about to be shattered, and then he felt something warm and smelly hit him.

When he got up staggeringly, the corpse behind him, which was only two or three meters away, was almost blown into two sections, and even the thick ice layer around him was cracked. At the same time, the lake water slowly swallowed up the broken corpse.

"Don't stand up!"

Mika, whose mouth was leaking, endured the severe pain in his cheeks and yelled, but Wei Ran, who was almost deaf, just turned around blankly, unable to hear what he was yelling at all.

In desperation, Mika picked up a bundle of deerskin rope and threw it to Wei Ran vigorously, then pointed to the cracking ice surface and the upwelling lake water.

Wei Ran, who was belatedly aware of it, quickly grabbed the deerskin rope that was thrown at him, and let the reindeer who started running again pull him far away before stopping.

"Are you okay?" Mika turned over and jumped off the sleigh and shouted anxiously, and then grinned because of the pain on the wound on his cheek.

"It's okay, I'm fine"

Wei Ran plucked out his ears and eyes, sat up again in a daze and looked behind him. In such a short time, the ice layer had swallowed up the carcass of the reindeer and the sleigh.

"I was careless, I should have shot him in the head!" Mika said with self-blame.

"I was wrong too"

Wei Ran stood up awkwardly, "Unfortunately, it's not yet confirmed whether he is the teacher we are looking for."

"Leave him alone." Mika stretched out his hand and flicked a piece of meat off Wei Ran's shoulder, "Let's go find a doctor!"

"Yes, yes, see a doctor."

Wei Ran unsteadily climbed onto the sleigh, and let Mika hold the rein with one hand, driving the sleigh at high speed on the calm lake.

As the sleigh car moved forward, Wei Ran gradually woke up from his dizziness, and at the same time noticed that the surrounding terrain became more and more familiar.

"Mika, where are we going now?" Wei Ran checked the condition of the old hunter Ino, turned his head and asked in a loud voice.

"Go to my fiancée Sally's house." Mika said vaguely, "Her neighbor is a doctor."

Wei Ran nodded and stopped talking, then took out the camera from his arms, hesitated for a moment and stuffed it in again.

This time he deliberately controlled the number of photos taken. Although he may have killed the missing teacher now, as long as he hasn't taken enough photos, he can stay a little longer.

Moreover, it was already the afternoon of the 28th, and the battle of Suomusalmi would end soon. In addition to the injuries of Mick and the old hunter Ino, there was no need to return to the battlefield for a while.Correspondingly, they may also be able to spend a relatively safe period of time.

As Mika had promised before, it took less than half an hour before the sleigh was pulled up to the lake by the two reindeer and rushed into a small village that wasn't too big.Until now, Wei Ran has also confirmed that this is Plassey Village, where he and Jima arrived by plane decades later!
