Chapter 409 The Firefight on Both Sides of the Swamp

In the forest shrouded in slightly increased rain, Wei Ran drove a half-track motorcycle at high speed on the ground exuding the smell of humus. The violent bumps of the motorcycle not only destroyed Ivan and Sergey sitting behind him, but also Let the wound on his thigh cause bursts of severe pain because he hit his knee from time to time.

However, as the car advanced rapidly in the forest, they gradually heard the sound of intense firefights.

"Ms. Jaina and the others must be on the left. As long as we go around the swamp, we can touch the back of the Germans!" Ivan reminded with affirmative tone.

Hearing this, Wei Ran slowly stopped the car.There is only a swamp between here and the battlefield, but it is also this swamp that made him recognize that this is exactly the location of the dry well filled with bones in later generations!

"What's wrong?" Sergey, who seemed a little motion sick, asked in a daze.

"We sneaked over and the noise of the motorcycle was too loud."

Wei Ran turned off the engine as he spoke, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Come here and do me a favor, my wound seems to be open, help me up quickly."

Ivan and Sergey had no doubts about him, they immediately jumped off the half-track motorcycle, and supported Wei Ran to leave the driving seat with difficulty.

However, before the two of them let go, Wei Ran grabbed Sergey's neck and pressed most of his body weight on it. At the same time, he raised his hand to grab Ivan's neck. Locate the carotid sinus under the skin and press firmly.

Under the uncontrollable physiological reaction, before Ivan could make a sound, his eyes turned black and he lost consciousness, while Sergey on the other side focused all his attention on the sudden increase in weight, supporting him with all his strength Wei Ran thought he was about to fall.He didn't realize that his good friend didn't have time to say good night to him before going to bed.

After solving Ivan, Wei Ran immediately stood up straight, and repeated the same trick to stun Sergey.When he and Jima were at the Hongqi Forest Farm, they often used the drug dealer's practice that Mr. Gorman got from somewhere, and the metal book taught him to use the massage as a foundation, so even in the face of this situation The two children still have enough confidence not to miss.

But just to be on the safe side, he tried the breathing of the two little guys. After confirming that there was no problem, he took off the cloak on his body to cover them, took the submachine gun and two drums in Sergey's hand, and then Under the cover of night, he limped to the edge of the firefighting scene.

Wei Ran, who was hiding behind the pine tree, frowned after observing for a while with the help of a telescope.At this time, on the opposite side of the swamp, the female guerrillas led by Teacher Jaina were still manipulating the flat anti-aircraft gun and firing continuously.

But facing an enemy several times their own, their situation was not good. It can even be said that at this time, the German army was almost completing the encirclement intention of attacking from both sides.

But on the bank of the swamp not far to the left in front of Angela and the others, there was a fire that could not be extinguished by the cold rain.

In the constantly tumbling flames, there are several wooden houses built next to the pine trees. During the beating of the raging flames, Wei Ran can even see through the telescope those struggling and roaring figures in the window!At the same time, the fire that almost ignited the surrounding trees also made Jaina and others lose the protection of the night.No need to guess, this is completely a trap set by the Germans!
"These beasts."

Wei Ran cursed secretly, put away the binoculars silently, took out the anti-tank gun in the metal book, and then replaced it with high-explosive bombs and matching muzzle brakes step by step.

During the rotation of the loading ratchet, a round of thick ammunition was pushed into the chamber with a click. Wei Ran, who was hiding behind the anti-tank gun, held his breath and moved the muzzle gently, and finally used the high-power anti-aircraft sight Behind the German front line, a figure hiding behind a pine tree holding a binoculars, and someone even held an umbrella for him beside him.

The distance is only less than 300 meters, even if the scope is a little blurred due to rain, it will not affect much.

"boom!"

The moment the muffled gunshot rang, Wei Ran immediately put away the anti-tank gun, almost rolled away and left the spot, and the target who was originally hiding under the umbrella and the person holding the umbrella were also smashed into the ground by the hot bullet casing. Before the fallen leaves under the tree hit the ground, they exploded into two knots.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the opponent didn't seem to find him, Wei Ran took out his anti-tank gun again. This time, he aimed at the German half-track truck carrying the anti-aircraft gun.

"boom!"

When the second high-explosive bomb hit the target, the scattered shrapnel easily harvested the German gunners who were facing Wei Ran.But this time, Wei Ran did not rush to move the position, but aimed at the anti-aircraft gun mounted on the car and fired another high-explosive bomb!After that, he retracted the gun neatly, rolled over, and dragged his injured leg to crawl far away.However, at his original position, he was suppressed by machine guns that turned hastily before and after he left.

Raising the binoculars again, Wei Ran took out the anti-tank gun again. This time, he aimed at the armored half-track truck again.

After the third muffled gunshot, the machine gun mounted on the roof of the armored vehicle immediately lost some parts under the devastation of the exploded high-explosive bomb, and at the same time, the upper bodies of the two machine gunners fell off.

At this point, the German soldiers who were at an advantage finally realized the sneak attack from the opposite side of the swamp, and immediately assigned two machine guns and a mortar team to suppress Wei Ran.

"You have a sick mind! What kind of mortars do you bring into the forest!"

When the first mortar blast exploded in the swamp in front of him, Wei Ran cursed and put away his weapon, and scrambled and crawled to hide in the forest behind him.

It stands to reason that in this kind of dense forest, anyone with common sense would know that mortars will not work, let alone carry those heavy burdens.

But these Germans not only took them against common sense, but also used them in the most appropriate place, forcing themselves to hide in the forest behind them.

He could even guess that, if nothing unexpected happened next, the opponent would definitely send a team along the edge of the swamp to face him!
Once again cursing the Germans who did not follow common sense, Wei Ran looked at the dense canopy above his head in horror, gritted his teeth, set up the anti-tank gun again, and aimed at a machine gun that was constantly lit by the muzzle flame on the opposite side of the swamp. Pull the trigger!

Rubbing the sore shoulders that were bumped, Wei Ran continued to change positions, and then simply switched to incendiary bombs. The Germans on the other side of the swamp attacked again and again, trying to fight for the disadvantaged teacher Jaina and others. Chance.

Teacher Jaina and the others could naturally feel his efforts. Among other things, the vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft gun that never fired after being destroyed made them feel a lot easier.

But even so, these female guerrillas, who were almost attacked from the front and back, still suffered casualties all the time.And besides dealing with the enemy, they also had to find ways to protect the wounded they rescued!

At this critical juncture, a Bo-2 plane swooped silently over the heads of the Germans, and then, a black thing the size of a suitcase fell on the German positions in a parabola.

"boom!"

After a dull and almost suffocating explosion, Wei Ran subconsciously let his almost blinded eyes leave the scope, and then with his other normal eyesight, he saw a steaming sky in the open space opposite the swamp. Fireball!At that moment, he even thought that these Soviet guerrillas had ordered a small nuclear bomb in advance!

Almost at the same time as the fireball lit up, he also saw the light plane flying away in the night sky.In just such a short time, the sound of "Ulla" and the sound of intensive submachine guns and machine guns came from the forest on the opposite side of the swamp!

Seeing the arrival of the guerrilla reinforcements, Wei Ran heaved a sigh of relief, removed the magazine of the anti-tank gun, lay down on the ground, took out the bullets he bought with vodka from his satchel, and pressed them in one by one.

After he put away his anti-tank gun, he even thought about taking out the wine jug that he secretly filled with vodka at noon and took a big sip.

However, before he put down the jug, there was a grenade explosion not far away!Immediately afterwards, he heard a crisp rifle fire and two immature "Ulla!"

Hey!
Wei Ran immediately got up, picked up the Bobosha submachine gun borrowed from Sergey not long ago, and rushed towards Ivan and Sergey's direction!

In such a short period of time, the sound of fierce firefights and the loud noise of grenade explosions could already be heard in the forest only a hundred meters away from him.After he vaguely saw a figure, he immediately pulled the trigger!
The exchange of fire here quickly attracted the attention of the other side of the swamp, but Ivan and Sergey, like two monkeys, after getting the cover of Wei Ran, flexibly used the cover of the surrounding trees to move from time to time He threw a grenade, and fired another bullet from time to time!
From time to time, Wei Ran can even hear all kinds of obscenities and taunts coming out of the mouths of these two middle school kids!
These two little bastards!

Wei Qi, who was so suppressed that he couldn't lift his head up, cursed desperately, stuck out the submachine gun with one hand and fired a series of burst shots to continue to attract firepower for the two children, for fear that the bullets fired by the Germans on the opposite side would hit any of the two of them. One.

While they were exchanging fire, another earth-shaking explosion exploded from the forest in the distance, and then the reinforcements from the other side of the swamp rushed over without stopping.

With the help of these people, the group of German talents who suppressed Wei Ran was finally wiped out, but what worried him was that no matter how much he called the names of Ivan and Sergey, he did not get any response at all. .

Ignoring the bearded middle-aged man who came up to shake hands with him, Wei Ran roughly pushed him away, then limped and trotted, enduring the pain in his wound, and carefully searched for the two men around the scene of the firefight. The kid who brought him over.

"Don't look for it, they are here!" A strange guerrilla shouted at Wei Ran.

Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly ran over with the support of a female guerrilla.But then, when he saw the half-track motorcycle illuminated by the light of the flashlight, he couldn't help showing a dumbfounding expression.

Beside the motorcycle, Ivan and Sergey were like two ostriches wearing the cloak that Wei Ran left them, pretending to be unconscious, but the trembling small bones of the panting that was difficult to calm down made them The camouflage of the two seemed particularly perfunctory.

　Let's talk about adding more to the big brother Mingjian
　　The other big guys who donated the rewards are really not up yet. This year is too busy, and I work overtime every day.
