Chapter 3 Lost the prize

So, Wang Zhong's small army set off.

If I have to say it, it's really embarrassing for a grown man to let a little girl take the lead.

But the last time I used a rifle to shoot live ammunition was during military training in college. I fired a total of five bullets and one of them missed the target.

If you walk in front and encounter an enemy, even if you fire first, there is a high probability that you will miss, and then you will most likely be in vain.

Wang Zhong paid attention to Lyudmila from a bird's-eye view. In fact, at this time, it could be seen that Lyudmila was very plump, and her body was turbulent when running. Even from a bird's-eye view, it was extremely obvious.

But now Wang Zhong has no such thoughts at all, and is focusing on the enemy's movements. This is a battlefield, and if you relax, you will die.

Lyudmila arrived and knelt down, cautiously peeking into the room.

Wang Zhong suddenly had a complete view on the other side of the corner, and could even see the first floor of the building directly opposite Lyudmila.

Relying on this field of view, Wang Zhong discovered that there were enemies on the left, probably because of the main road leading to the city on the left.

He wanted Lyudmila to go to the right, so he tried to direct her with his mind, but it was useless.

So Wang Zhong shouted in a low voice: "Lyudmila!"

The girl turned back and Wang Zhong pointed to the right: "Go to the right! There are no enemies on the right!"

It's not that Wang Zhong doesn't want to give orders in a quieter way, it's mainly that he doesn't understand tactical gestures at all, let alone whether the tactical gestures in this world are the same as those on Earth.

Lyudmila turned to the right, and Wang Zhong immediately followed. The two of them walked to the next intersection one after another, and they really did not encounter any enemies.

So the girl stopped at the intersection and looked back at Wang Zhong suspiciously: "How do you know there are no enemies here?"

Wang Zhong prevaricates casually: "I guessed."

Lyudmila frowned: "Guess? Do you know that we will be in trouble if we encounter the enemy?"

Wang Zhong: "I know. Take the left this time."

He has mastered the skill of speaking from a bird's-eye view. Although the misalignment of the perspective will still make him dizzy, it is not as severe as before.

Therefore, while talking to Lyudmila, he had already confirmed that there were no enemies on the left side of the road. By the way, gunfire also came from the left side of the two of them.

If measured in terms of east, west, north and south, it is the east.

In other words, the chance of encountering friendly forces is very high if you go east.

Lyudmila stared at Wang Zhong for a second, and finally obeyed the order and turned around the street.

Wang Zhong immediately switched back to the naked eye perspective - he still couldn't walk in the bird's eye view, and would be very dizzy.

From the naked eye perspective, Wang Zhong ran to the street corner, looked out, and saw Lyudmila's back.

Although the girl's back was very attractive, the viewing angle was still too restrictive. Wang Zhong switched to a bird's-eye view without hesitation, alerting the surroundings.

The moment he switched back, he saw a jeep coming down the alley behind him.

He immediately crossed the corner and escaped Jeep's sight at the critical moment.

However, when he moved his body under the bird's eye view, severe dizziness hit his brain, forcing him to exit the bird's eye view, holding on to the wall and retching.

He heard footsteps behind him and immediately turned back to raise his gun, only to find that it was Lyudmila running back.

"I thought your condition was not good, so you came back..." The girl looked worried, "You look very bad, what happened suddenly?"

In Lyudmila's view, Wang Zhong suddenly turned pale for no reason.

Wang Zhong: "I'm fine!"

He fainted, but he still hadn't forgotten about the jeep, so he immediately stuck his head out and looked down.

Sure enough, the jeep drove along the street. There were three people in the car. The driver was unarmed, the sergeant in the passenger seat had a submachine gun, and the one in the back seat looked like an officer wearing a large cap.

Wang Zhong: "Jeep, hide quickly!"

Then Wang Zhong discovered that none of the buildings on both sides of the alley had their doors open. It was definitely too late to hide.

So he immediately changed his order: "No, grenade!"

As he spoke, he switched back to the naked eye perspective, took out the grenade and unscrewed the tail cap——

Suddenly, he changed his mind and handed the grenade to Lyudmila beside him: "You throw it!"

Wang Zhong had never thrown a grenade in his life. Throwing it by himself might be self-defeating.

The enemy had submachine guns. If the enemy was not killed in the first wave at such a close distance, then he and Lyudmila would probably have to answer here.

Lyudmila was speechless: "I haven't thrown it many times, after all, I am a praying hand. Unlike shooting and horse riding, I practice it often at home."

Wang Zhong: "You are better than me. If I tell you to throw it, just lean out and throw it."

While speaking, Wang Zhong switched to the overlooking perspective.

Wait a minute, should I give up the corner spot?
However, there was no time. The jeep was about to arrive. Wang Zhong shouted: "Now!"

Lyudmila jumped out of the corner with a quick step and raised her hand.

Wang Zhong saw something draw an arc and land on the enemy's car.

But the thing didn't explode right away!

Lyudmila just pulled the string and threw it away!

Wang Zhong watched as the sergeant in the co-pilot position pointed his submachine gun at Lyudmila!
In desperation, he stuck his head out and shouted: "Look at the gun!"

The enemy was also very nervous. When he heard this shout, he immediately turned his gun and opened fire on Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong retracted a little too late, as if someone had hit him on the shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, bullets from the submachine gun crackled on the bricks in the corner.

The next moment, the grenade exploded.

Wang Zhong clearly saw from a bird's-eye view that the sergeant who fired the shot was blown out of the car, and the driver also hit the steering wheel forward and passed out.

The officer's hat in the back seat flew up, and it was unclear whether he was dead or not.

The out-of-control car rushed directly towards Lyudmila!

The girl was like a nimble hare, escaping with a slight jump.

The jeep crashed into a house on the roadside.

Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and ordered "pick up the sergeant's submachine gun" while switching back to the naked eye to check his wounds.

His shoulder was red, and when he tore it open, he saw that the bullet left a finger-wide scar.

The moment he saw the wound, Wang Zhong was struck by severe pain - what about the adrenaline secretion that made people feel no pain?

Wang Zhong's first reaction was to look for a medical kit to see if there were any drugs like morphine in it.

He touched around and actually pulled out a medical bag, but when he opened it he found only bandages and a packet of powdered substance with sulfonamide written on it.

Watching war movies, it seems that military doctors would pour powdery substance into wounds during emergency treatment, but Wang Zhong didn't know if it was sulfonamide, so he didn't dare to pour it around and just wrapped a bandage around his bleeding arm.

It is said that when the brain encounters pain, it will secrete paralyzing substances to relieve the pain. I don't know if this mechanism is effective. Anyway, the pain was relieved a lot after Wang Zhong tied his hands tightly.

Lyudmila came over with a submachine gun and saw Wang Zhong's arm at a glance: "Are you injured?"

Wang Zhong: "No, I'm just teasing you."

He didn't know why he was so talkative.

Lyudmila's expression relaxed a lot: "It doesn't look like the injury is serious."

Wang Zhong: "Did you get the submachine gun? Where is the ammunition?"

"Took them all." Lyudmila patted the ammunition bag slung across her waist.

Wang Zhong took a look. The way he straddled the ammunition bag diagonally felt like a German army. He took a closer look at the captured submachine gun, and it really looked like an MP40.

Lyudmila noticed Wang Zhong's gaze and said, "I'm not very good at using this. How about you take it? I'm more confident with the bolt-pull weapon."

Wang Zhong pointed to his shoulder: "Do you think I can shoot with a gun now?"

In fact, now Wang Zhong's shoulder hurts like a knife whenever he exerts force on his arm.

Lyudmila sighed, tightened her grip on the submachine gun, and continued to recite: "I have only seen the enemy use the Prosen submachine gun. Fortunately, I understand Mandarin and know which one is safe..."

Wang Zhong: "Let's go quickly. The grenade explosion and car collision may have attracted the enemy's attention."

Lyudmila turned around and took two steps forward, then looked back at Wang Zhong: "Shall I help you?"

Wang Zhong stood up: "I was shot in the hand, not in the foot. Let's go!"

After a while, Wang Zhong's two-person team reached the intersection again.

As soon as Lyudmila poked her head out, Wang Zhong saw a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides about two hundred meters north of the intersection.

Men in khaki military uniforms occupied a stately building and were firing intense firepower through the windows onto the street.

Soldiers in black were scattered behind various bunkers on both sides of a wide east-west main road.

Wang Zhong could see two burning tanks on the street, probably destroyed by anti-tank fire from khaki uniforms.

But the strange thing is that Wang Zhong looked for a long time and couldn't find where the anti-tank gun mount was.

Just as he was wondering, Lyudmila turned her head.

So Wang Zhong suddenly lost most of his vision - Wang Zhong's system only has a fan-shaped vision in the direction where his eyes are facing, which is very similar to the vision mechanism of hard-core real-time strategy such as "Men of War".

Lyudmila shouted to Wang Zhong behind him: "Come on! As long as we cross the road, we should be able to meet up with our people!"

Wang Zhong: "You just pass by, I will follow you right away."

Lyudmila: "Okay, I'll let you test the enemy's firepower."

What you said is right, I only let you pass after I saw clearly that there were no enemies!
Before Wang Zhong could complain, Lyudmila stood up and ran across the street.

After Wang Zhong made sure that she was okay, he switched back to the naked eye view and started to move.

At this time, his vision was completely limited to the individual, he lost control of the battlefield, and his heart became uneasy. He always felt that bullets would fly from somewhere.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!

Wang Zhongxin made a move and ran wildly, rushing out of the intersection and crossing the wide street.

Lyudmila hid behind a light pole and was on guard with the enemy's submachine gun.

As soon as Wang Zhong reached her side, the door of the street shop opened.

A soldier in khaki uniform stuck his head out: "Come in quickly!"

Wang Zhong patted Lyudmila on the shoulder: "Quickly go!"

With that he rushed into the store first, followed closely by Lyudmila.
