Chapter 83 Find a way to survive
"I've made it clear, the people in the council were a few days old All the boats on the island were taken away before, and the farmers don't even have any large pieces of wood in their hands now." Gold brought back bad news.

The remnants of Veneta who jumped out of the search net turned into pirates, and went around the port to the east without stopping. Winters even let Gold go into the port of red sulfur and exchanged his head for some money.

The enemy is now mostly hunting for the Veneta on the southwest side of the island, and the Winters entire group has gone to the east side of the island. The situation is temporarily safe, and the next step is to find a way to get the boat out to sea.

Bad rubbed the stubble on his chin: "As expected, the Red Illusion Island Council took great pains to prepare such a big gift, of course they don't want to reveal any rumors. Even if there are islanders hiding The ship will never be handed over."

"Can we trust this man? Isn't he a pirate? Or was he captured by us?" Andre's focus was not on the ship at all.

Winters was poring over the map of Iwo Jima and said without looking up, "I don't know why he's on our side, but if he wanted to betray us, we'd be dead, so I choose to trust him."

First walking on the main road, then turning into a side road and walking some distance before Winters gave the order to stop and rest.

The team stopped by a small stream, and the tense spirit of the Veneta who had survived had just relaxed a little, and tiredness immediately found them. Even the sentry was dozing off, and the others snored as soon as their backs hit the ground.

"Fourteen people who can walk by themselves, plus a cart." Winters meditated as he watched his subordinates sleeping in the shade: "This is the last of my Hundred Men Squad. now."

He tried not to think about what would have happened if he had chosen "turn back" instead of ordering "rush forward".

But as the backbone of this remnant army, he can't think about "what if" now, let alone rest. Warrant Officer Montagne said to himself, "You have to find a way for these people."

"You two come and look at the map." Winters called Bud and Andre to himself: "This map The scale is 1:10,000. I counted my steps all the way. After leaving the Red Sulphur Port, we walked more than 4,400 steps on the main road and more than 3,200 steps on the small road..."

The number of steps mentioned by Winters refers to the marching step. Each step of the left and right feet is a step, and a step is about 1.2 meters.

Bud immediately calculated the result: "Then we have walked almost nine kilometers from noon to the present, which is quite fast, almost the speed of a forced march."

" You don't even have a pot to eat, can you walk fast?" Andre rolled the eyes and said to Winters: "It's useless, it's useless to know how far we've gone, do you bring a tape measure?"

"I didn't bring it, but I have this." Winters smiled slyly and took out a steel cone: "My steel cone is exactly fifteen centimeters long, no more or no less."

The three warrant officers fiddled around the map for a while, then picked up the work done on the map, and finally determined their current position on the map based on the distance traveled, the streams and roads around them.

They traveled all the way along the road and were about to reach the Eastern Sea shore of Red Iwo Island. The straight-line distance on the map was only about three or four kilometers.

“We can’t just ram around like headless flies now.” Winters put away the map and said to the other two warrant officers, “The team is temporarily resting here, and Bud and I will go to the east to scout...”

"I'm going too!" Andrei immediately became anxious when he heard that he would not be brought.

"Fuck you too." Winters pressed him back again: "If the three of us are not around, the rest of the people don't think the three of us ran away? You stay behind."

When the sun was setting, Winters, who returned to the resting place, called everyone for a meeting.

The current situation is rather special, the composition of the team is complex, and he is not sure of his own prestige, so he can only use this method of military democratization to make the soldiers more willing to obey orders.

"We now have the coastline behind the hills to the east, which is less than four kilometers." He didn't say anything nonsense, and looked towards several naval sailors in the team: "Anyone of you can make rafts? "

"Sir, if you want to go out to sea on a raft, I'm afraid you can't." A relatively bold naval sailor explained: "The raft not only can't carry the load, but also will capsize if there is a storm, and... And we don't have the tools to make a raft?"

"What if there were tools?" Winters asked rhetorically.

The navy sailor counted for a long time with fingers crossed: "If you want to pack all of us, you have to cut at least fifty pieces of material, and you have to have enough ropes, preferably asphalt. "

"You know shipbuilding?" Winters asked again.

"I used to work in a shipyard." The Navy sailor scratched his head.

"Everyone heard, the enemy has looted all the boats, and even if we wanted to make some makeshift rafts, it would be difficult." Winters looked into the soldier's eyes and said loudly, "And I Going to reconnaissance in the direction of the sea with Warrant Officer Budd, there are enemy sentries everywhere, and there is no way we can cut wood and build ships in their in front of one's eyes."

The eyes of the soldiers dimmed.

"However, we still have a way out." Winters' purpose was not to attack the military, he calmly stated his plan: "Lieutenant Colonel Comter's plan is to find a way to get to the seaside and find a boat. Going to sea. But my plan is the opposite. Not only will we not go to the seaside, we will also go to the northwest, and we will go to the inland part of the island."

The temporary meeting venue absolute silence , only the stream water There was a murmur, and although the soldiers were surprised and puzzled, they didn't say anything and just listened intently.

The crowd stood in a circle, and Winters put the map in the center and pointed at the map with a branch to explain: "Although we are trapped on the island, the Tanirian ambush is actually Failed, our main force was undamaged and will land again soon. That's why Warrant Officer Bard and I found so many Tanirian sentries on the coastline whose main defense was the coast And the further inland, the fewer enemies."

Winters looked at the crowd and said, "I don't want to tell you 'save the power, wait for the victory.' Do whatever it takes to survive until the day Veneta conquers the island. And in my opinion, going to the hinterland of the island has the greatest probability of surviving."

The soldiers of the chief battallion of the third Legion are all They are full-time professional soldiers. Among the Winters squad, there are several ten commanders who have served for more than ten years, much longer than the three warrant officers.

But no officer, veteran or recruit, has ever explained the "why" to them in their service life. Winters actually underestimated his authority. With that bloody battle in the woods and leading the team out of the siege, he has won the respect of the soldiers.

"Montagne Hundred-Men Commander, we're all going with you! Just give your order, and we'll all do it!"

——cut——

early morning.

The sound of scolding and crying broke the tranquility of Tadong Village.

This small farmhouse with only 40 households in the hinterland of Red Sulphur Island was invaded by a group of uninvited guests.

Seven or eight fierce men dressed as sailors with machetes kicked open the courtyard of a farmer in the east of the village. They first beat the male owner who wanted to resist, and then killed the entire farmer's family. The children rushed to the yard.

"We are Captain Kidd's food requisition team!" The headed pirate with the teeth played the machete to the wind and shouted in a shrill voice: "If you have any good things, hurry up and take them out. If the uncle finds it by himself, don't blame the uncle for not reminding you."

"The cellar is here!" A surprised voice came from the backyard.

"Move!" The Tooth Pirate waved his hand.

A few pirates came out of the backyard carrying bacon, pickles, and fine noodles. These pirates would pick and choose good things.

"Don't be angry, we'll give you money." Huoya pirate shouted at the farmer's family jokingly, and then he put the machete on the unconscious male host: "Say, the village chief is in Where?"

The woman and child who were sobbing in a low voice suddenly burst into tears, and the old lady of the family cries as she grabs the pirate's leg: "You killed my son. , you killed this day, you killed me too..."

The pirate with the teeth was also startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid the old lady.

The old fogey at home quickly pulled his old woman back, he stopped between his family and the pirates, stretched his arms like a hen protecting his chickens, his expression stiff: "Don't hurt me. Son, I'll take you to the village chief's house."

"Okay, the head of the house. Let your girls stop crying, we're not here to kill people." The Tooth Pirate giggled and looked at it The farmer's family couldn't move his eyes when he looked at it. He moved towards the woman and child who were snuggling together: "Your mother-in-law is beautiful, is it your daughter-in-law or your daughter..."

The old fogey angrily stood in front of the pirate with the teeth, and said angrily: "You...you come to my house as a guest, you can take whatever you want...but my mother You guys are not allowed to move unless you kill me."

The other tall pirate behind the pirate of the tooth reached out and grabbed the pirate's shoulder: "Captain Kidd asked us to collect food, no Let you play with women. Work first, and when this is over, I will invite you to prostitute expensive."

"Head of the family, you are too angry. Poor, I want to help you coax." The Huoya Pirate raised his hands and took two steps back: "If you don't like it, forget it, the head of the house, take us to the village chief."

The yard stopped for a while. When the pirates saw that everything was loaded into the car, they grabbed a handful of paper with writing from their belts, and counted a few and stuffed them into the old fogey: "Don't say we don't give money, it's called the military. I have received the ticket. When the battle is over, I can use the ticket to collect the money at the Goth Hall in Chisulfur Port."

Old fogey took the "military ticket" in humiliation and followed Huoya back three steps at a time. The pirates came out of the yard.

The tall pirate was the last to leave. He raised his hand, and a Silver Coin crossed an arc in the air and fell precisely into the arms of the old lady: "Take it, don't say we don't give money."

After finishing speaking, He left and closed the door behind him.

Because they were in extreme panic, the family didn't realize that the tall pirate was speaking in a melodious Hailan Yayin.

However, there are people in the group of pirates, and it is not uncommon for Veneta people to be pirates.

The village chief's house was kicked open for the second time.

The pirates repeated the process of "beating up those who dared to resist - driving the whole family to the yard - collecting grain".

"Everyone, we have already handed over the quota for Tadong Village."

"Fart, you ate yesterday, but you don't eat today? You have already paid the previous quota, so you don't have to pay the quota this time?" The village chief's face: "Flour, oil, meat, salt, we want everything. By the way, there are carts, we also need six carts. I don't want too much of your stuff, just fill me up with three carts. car, I will go to other villages to pack the remaining three cars."

The village chief of Tadong Village looked at his son's bloody nose and swollen face and said bitterly: "Where can I find you six? A big car?"

"Don't you know who owns a big car?" The pirate with teeth raised his eyebrows and pressed the scimitar to the other's neck, evil said with a smile: "It looks like you're not afraid of Captain Kidd, right? Well, come with me, William Kidd likes to slowly torture hard bones into soft ones..."

The village chief was terrified by his terrifying laughter He shuddered with fright, begged for mercy, swore that every time he thought of Captain Kidd, he would pee his pants, and Captain Kidd would give everything he wanted.

The Tooth Pirate was nodded with satisfaction, and asked casually: "By the way, where does the barber in your village live? Is there a doctor nearby?"

......

"My name is Captain Kidd
When I sail the sea
I do everything
I do many evils

I kill William Moore
I kill Lost William Moore
..."

The cart crunched away, and the pirate wail like ghosts and howl like wolves sang away with it. The carts of the village head and several other rich peasants were requisitioned together with the animals that pulled the carts. The farmers in Tadong Village were left with "military tickets" in their hands and wanted to cry without tears. The pirates actually stole the wok too.

"It's really a robber now." Winters sighed and sat in the cart, rarely swearing swear words: "Will you not be court-martialed for this in the future?"

Bud, who was driving the car, said calmly: "It's actually nothing, we mainly take non-staple food, and we don't take much of the staple food, so we can't starve to death. During the sovereign war, worse things abound, even in the book. Just remember the phrase 'every year is hungry, people eat each other'. Isn't it discussed? If we want to move around the countryside without suspicion, we can only pretend to be a grain collection team. If the grain collection team doesn't even have a cart, What else is it called the Food Requisition Team?"

"We'll talk about it later." Winters sat up and said with a headache, "There is only one doctor who can bleed within a few miles. You are still a plantation owner, so it's hard to do."

Lieutenant Colonel Contell's life force is amazingly tenacious, and thanks to the careful care of the three warrant officers, the lieutenant colonel's condition has stabilized. But another problem arose. Contaire, who was in a coma, began to have a fever.

Evidently, Contell's fever was due to a foreign body in the wound. After inspection, everyone found that the lead bullet even entered Contel's body together with a piece of fabric from his clothes.

But even Bard, who was familiar with the Medical Classics and had the best grades in the hygiene class, did not have the ability to open his abdomen to take lead bullets.

Help Lieutenant Colonel Contell take out the buckshot, he might still die. But if he didn't help Lieutenant Colonel Contell take out the buckshot, he would surely die.

Let's watch Lieutenant Colonel Comter die, give Lieutenant Colonel Comter a treat, or find a doctor to do his best.

Winters, Bud and Andre face a tough decision.

In fact, the song "Captain Kidd" was not sung until after Captain Kidd was hanged.
