Nineteenth Century Medical Guide

Chapter 268 264. The Situation Collapses

The exhaustion of the team's physical strength, the loss of personnel, the laxity of people's hearts, the cautiousness of the opponent's countermeasures and the gap in numbers are all gradually reducing Aleister's escape space.Such intensive gunfire will inevitably attract a large number of enemies, and there are only two soldiers around him. It is not much easier to take Kawei out of here than to go to the sky.

"Let's go, let's go first!" Aleister dragged Kawei forward and moved forward with difficulty, and avoided the first wave of attacks. "Go to the east first and see if there is any possibility of escape."

".What if there is no one?" A soldier looked back and found that there were no pursuers, so he said, "If we encounter resistance again, let's fight!"

"Yes, Captain, it's better than being a prisoner."

"Don't! Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, things still have a turning point." Aleister led them into an alley, "Now that the gunfire is so dense, it seems that many reinforcements will be attracted, but it will also Misleading the Prussian soldiers who were guarding the town's entrance."

This sentence woke them up.

The soldiers guarding the entrance of the town are the biggest troubles on their way to escape. If the order is not resolute enough, or their order is not resolute enough, they will definitely be shaken after hearing such dense gunfire.

If all came to support, it would leave a huge loophole. After all, the town of Otaka is still too big for this company.

The reality is really as he imagined, the 12 people in the north sent 8 soldiers to the west town at the beginning.As soon as they arrived, they heard gunshots here, and they quickly turned around and rushed to the church.

But things were the farthest away, and the two gunshots were not very clear at the beginning. Considering their own responsibilities, they did not send anyone.

But after discovering that the density and loudness of the gunshots had risen sharply, the squad leader here couldn't hold back. Only one person was left guarding the opening, and all the others were dispatched.

This is indeed an opportunity, but if Aleister wants to avoid the reinforcements gathered at the church, he can only take a small path, and even find another way: "Slam the door!"

A soldier glanced at the house in front of him, without saying a word, he raised his foot and kicked the door: "Open! Open! Open!!!"

"Come in."

Aleister led Kavi, who was almost exhausted, into the house, and suddenly a mixed smell of wood, mold and dust poured into his nasal cavity with his breath.

It's been a long time since anyone came in.

"Open the window."

"Yes."

The dark alleys in the town extend in all directions, and the internal connections are very complicated, but there are few external intersections.This is the only way to avoid meeting the reinforcements coming from the east.

In fact, even if you don't enter the dark alley, there will be no problem with the small path you have chosen now.From the perspective of God, what Aleister had to face was not some reinforcements, but Mendelstein who was secretly following behind him.

Ever since he discovered the importance of Kavey at the door of the church, the Prussian cavalry commander decided to bite them to death.

It's not that he has no chance of winning, but that the current situation is under his control, and the priority to deal with is those other Austrian soldiers who stayed at the door of the church.

The Austrian army was poorly equipped, and the command was not very good. The only ones who could show their strength were these tough soldiers who dared to fight.He suffered a dark loss in the blocking battle before, and the loss was heavy.If these guys are left alone now and instead attack the commander of the other side, no one can guarantee that these soldiers will make any crazy moves.

As for the three little mice that escaped, they can run away as long as they don't leave their sight.

What's more, Kavey was about to lose his physical strength, and his movement speed was not fast, so he was waiting for his physical strength to be exhausted to catch alive.

However, Aleister is not a vegetarian, and there must be something special about being able to deal with them here until now.Although he didn't realize that he was being targeted, he still made some unexpected decisions.

"Wait, how did they get into the house on the street?"

Mendelstein frowned, quickly realized the other party's intentions, and snorted softly, "Maybe he is avoiding reinforcements from other roads, Bauer, lean over and see what they are going to do first."

"Yes."

"Be careful."

Bauer was a small Prussian, agile and strong.After receiving the order, he immediately ducked down, quickly came to the window on the same side, and slowly raised his head to look into the house: "They went through the window and left!"

"gone?"

Mendelstein and Duke quickly followed, and immediately found the opened window on the other side of the room: "It's a bit troublesome, they must have run into a dark alley!"

"The dark alleys extend in all directions here, so you have to catch up quickly."

The two were about to open the door and enter the house, but were stopped by Mendelstein: "Don't worry."

"If you don't chase, it will be too late!"

"I said don't worry!!!" Mendelstein glared at Duke, "The town is in our hands now, are you still afraid that he can run away?"

"Yes"

"Give me the map."

Bauer took out a map paper stacked in squares from his body, and after spreading it out, a hand-painted map of the internal route of the small town of Otaka appeared in front of their eyes: "This is the church, should we find a problem at this location? "

"The route has changed again."

"Behind the church is a large residential area, which is much denser than the west side." Mendelstein said, "This is a dark alley in the residential area. It's very messy. We haven't gone in to see it. What if we get lost in it?" ?”

"They shouldn't have been there either."

"That would add to the chaos." Mendelstein was unwilling to give up the opportunity, but he also didn't want to take risks, "It's better to determine their goal and wait at the finish line than wandering around in a dark alley. "

"Makes sense!"

"Where is their goal? Is it the east town?"

This question is also something Mendelstein is thinking about.

The other party originally moved from west to east, but now they have changed their route, and they have already turned to the southeast.The next step is to maintain the original judgment and continue to go east, or go south in the opposite direction, you need to make a good decision.

"The entrance to the dark alley in the east is here, and the entrance to the south is here." Mendelstein pointed to the two alley entrances, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Bauer, you go forward from the side road. Stop at the intersection and wait for the people from the east to come and take them back to their original position."

"Or to the east?"

"Yes, to the east."

"What if it's south?"

"The brothers who cut the wheat will be in charge of guarding the gate." Mendelstein quickly found the fastest route, "It is the widest road in the whole town, and there is still a large wheat field at the entrance, so it is almost impossible to escape without sight of."

The situation in the small town of Otaka is increasingly tilted towards Mendelstein.

The battle at the gate of the church was fierce, but this fragile balance was quickly broken by reinforcements from the west without the commander.

From the very beginning, the medical team was frightened by the gunshots and hid in the houses one after another.Now that they can't resist the front, the remaining soldiers of the guard can only imitate them and break into the houses to hide temporarily.

In fierce gun battles, casualties are always inevitable.

The number of escorts was reduced from 11 to 6, while the medical team also suffered 3 injuries, while the number of Prussian soldiers increased from 10 to 19, leaving little room for resistance.

"Surrender! We surrender!!!"

The three female nurses were the first to walk out of the residence, and they seemed to have no choice but to do so: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we are not soldiers, we are just nurses accompanying the army."

Soon many doctors also came out: "We also surrender! We are doctors, we have no weapons, don't shoot!!!"

Of course, these people who came out of the room were surgical assistants, whether they were from Vienna or other cities, they were doctors in those surgical clinics.In addition to the same occupation, they also have one thing in common, they are all ordinary civilians.

Opposite them are doctors like Ignatz, Bergett, and Hermann.

They come from several top medical schools in Austria and enjoy the best educational resources in the empire.Most of them also have knight titles, and out of loyalty to the empire, they always have a grudge against surrender.

Soon, however, this resentment turned into fear.

The door of the church where the fire ceased for a short time returned to silence, but suddenly several gunshots were fired, and the doctors who had just walked out of the room screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

Everyone could see clearly through the window that the bullets did not come from Prussian soldiers.Because these soldiers have long been ordered to cease fire, facing the doctors, they are also bound by the Geneva Convention, so there is no need to do so.

Since the gun was not fired by the Prussians, the bullet could only be fired from the barrel of the rifle in the hand of the guard.

This behavior was beyond everyone's expectations, including the guard soldiers who fired the shots, and they didn't expect that they would be so restless.But looking back at the various changes encountered along the way, it must be a lie to say that they have no hatred at all.

There are only 1/5 of the guards left, in order to ensure that the medical team will be brought back to the northern line.

But these doctors with their military rank badges shamelessly chose to surrender at the last moment. Then what was the purpose of their efforts before?

This kind of hatred will swallow a lot of negative emotions in an instant, and then quickly ferment in the bursts of surrender, which greatly affects the mood of the remaining five guard members.

When they came back to their senses, the situation became what it is now.

How to do?
Things have long been irreparable.

They are the only people in the town now, and the Prussians are far outnumbered and have stronger firepower.In fact, since Aleister said "spread away", they have already recognized the reality, but they just don't want to admit it.

This battle must be lost.

But surrender?
Obviously these people are unwilling to surrender, otherwise all comrades who fell under the enemy's guns before would have died in vain.Anyway, the captain and Kawi have already left here, and there is still hope for the mission. They can delay for a while, and they can kill one more person.

With this belief in mind, the second round of shootout began, and the ratio of the number of people was even more disparate at 5:19.

The Prussian soldiers were not idle either. After discovering the infighting on the other side, they immediately took the doctors who were not shot to the rear of the team, and immediately charged the two residential buildings where the guards were located.
On the other side, Aleister had already put the gunshots behind him.

He thought over and over in his mind how he looked in battle, but he really couldn't think of any picture of victory.From the moment he decided to abandon the team members, these people have become the abandoned children of the mission, just like Smith and Dries.

"Where are we now?"

"I don't know. The path here is too complicated. There are things piled up everywhere. It's impossible to walk properly."

"Don't worry, you need to find the right direction." Aleister looked at the sun in the sky, "walking forward along the position of the sun, there should be no mistakes in the general direction."

The two team members were exploring the way ahead, while Kawei was being pulled forward by the captain.In fact, the running speed has returned to brisk walking, but the narrow path and the debris that appear at his feet from time to time are still further squeezing his physical energy.

"Is there any water?"

Aleister sighed, shook his head and said, "No."

"I can't move anymore."

"Be patient, we'll be there soon."

"How long?"

At this time, the two pathfinders seemed to have discovered something ahead, and said with a smile: "I found it, I found the exit!"

"The direction should be correct. After going out, turn around into the main road and you will see the town entrance to the east."

After speaking, they were ready to move on.

Even Aleister felt uncomfortable living in a dirty and closed environment for a long time, so when he first heard these conversations, he felt much more at ease.But immediately he noticed the strangeness and realized that something was wrong.

I managed to escape here from under the eyes of the Prussians. I didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, and I didn't encounter any pursuers. It was too smooth!
The opponent is obviously not that easy to deal with, there must be ghosts!

At first glance, this is his unreasonable guess, but it is more of the "experience" accumulated after fighting with the opposing commander these days.The experience turned into an order on his lips, and he blurted out: "You guys wait!!!"

It was too late when the words came out, almost the same script, the same result.Two bullets shot through their front door, shattering a large piece of skull, blood spattered, and the person fell straight to the ground.

"Made!!!"

At this time, Mendelstein's voice sounded not far away: "Austrians, it is still too late to surrender."

Aleister didn't show up, and Kavi is still in his hands. Now if he returns to the dark alley, it will definitely be delayed for a while.But when things got to this point, Aleister knew that his situation was over.

The battle in front of the church was bound to be lost, and he was blocked here again, so it would be meaningless to run away.

"Do you think it's possible?" Aleister held Kawei behind him and took out bullets from his pocket, "Have you seen my soldiers surrender?"

"You are indeed a good commander." Mendelstein also had to admit this, "If you were born in Berlin, Frankfurt or other Prussian cities, we should be able to become good friends."

There was a smile on the corner of Aleister's mouth, and he murmured: "Hmph, come on."

After finishing speaking, he left Kawei for the first time, and he was about to break out with a gun.

However, just as he took two or three steps and was still three to five meters away from the two players, there was a loud explosion behind him.

"This direction is." Aleister suddenly turned his head to look at the place where the explosion sound came from, ".is the South Gate???"
