On the speeding sleigh, Konon's moans became weaker and weaker, and the gauze covering his eyes became increasingly red.
It happened that at this time, heavy snow fell overhead again, and even the biting northeast wind became more and more violent, as if it would not stop until all the animal skin blankets were blown away by everyone.
However, this strong wind also has a good side. At least running with the wind saved the two reindeer a lot of energy, and the sleigh pulled by them became faster and faster.
However, all this is nothing to Markla who is driving. At this time, his focus is entirely on the rut he has been chasing, which passes through the forest and the frozen lake.
Finally, we entered a leeward winding canyon.
As the sleigh moved forward, the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon became higher and higher, the area of snow accumulated on them became larger and larger, and the ruts they were chasing became deeper and clearer.
The three people who were still awake on the sleigh were all nervous. Karl was nervous about the avalanches that could happen at any time on the mountain walls on both sides. Wei Ran was nervous about whether there would be conflicts and firefights after catching up with the Germans. As for Markla, he was nervous.
Not only these two points, but also Konon who may die at any time.
"Snapped!"
Markla shook the reins and slapped the fat buttocks of the two reindeers hard. Under the sudden and severe pain, the two reindeer, which had been running for a long time, speeded up again.
Finally, when they turned a corner in the canyon, they finally vaguely saw a half-track armored ambulance.
"Give me Conon's gun and ID, and also hide his old notebook." Markla said while controlling the reindeer to slow down.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ran immediately took out his gun and ID from Konon's body and handed them to Markla. He then hung the camera around his neck with peace of mind, and the one with the words Pravda written on it
He threw the plastic notebook outside the sled without any pressure.
Almost at the same time as he finished his work, the sleigh slowly stopped under the muzzle of a middle-aged doctor in a white coat and a young soldier's submachine gun.
Markla glanced at the big rock that hit the hood of the half-track armored ambulance and asked with a normal expression, "My friend, do you need our help?"
"friend?"
The middle-aged doctor looked at Markla sarcastically and said sarcastically in proficient Finnish, "So this friend who has betrayed our friendship, how are you going to help me? Use the anti-tank door on your sleigh.
Can you give us a shot?"
As if he didn't see the submachine gun in the opponent's hand, Markla said with a normal expression, "If I wanted to do that, I would have done it dozens of kilometers away instead of following you all the way."
"Have you been following us?" The middle-aged doctor frowned.
"I've been following you since Roshniwa."
Markla said truthfully, "Originally I thought you would enter the Swedish base in Muonio, but I didn't expect you to come northwest."
"Why are you following us?" the middle-aged doctor asked seriously.
Markla spread his hands, "It's better than the Soviets following you, isn't it? We may not be friends anymore, but at least we're not enemies."
"Not considered enemies?" The middle-aged doctor pointed to the ambulance behind him, "If we are not considered enemies, how do we explain the wounded?"
Markla sighed, "I don't know, I don't know how it suddenly became like this."
The middle-aged doctor was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he finally put down the submachine gun in his hand and said lonely, "Your choice is right. It is the wisest choice to withdraw from this war as soon as possible."
In the canyon where the cold wind howled and the snow fell, the young soldier standing behind the middle-aged doctor finally slowly lowered the muzzle of his submachine gun.
"Sir, can you help us see the injuries of our companions?" Karl asked, breaking the silence.
The middle-aged doctor glanced at Karl, who looked anxious, and finally walked to the side of the sleigh, reached out and untied the gauze on Conon's face.
"Where did you get injured?" the middle-aged doctor asked with a frown.
"Behind you," Markla said without any concealment, "my companion was overly curious and opened the door of the half-track armored vehicle."
The middle-aged doctor straightened up after hearing this, "There is not much danger in the short term, but his eyeball needs to be removed, otherwise the other eye may also be blind. But you have also seen the current situation, our ambulance has arrived
The problem is, I can't operate on him in a place like this."
"Can he still activate it?" Wei Ran asked in proficient German.
"Do you speak German?" The middle-aged doctor looked at Wei Ran curiously.
Wei Ran smiled and said, "I studied with a doctor named Rocky near the Moltke Bridge in Berlin for a while."
The middle-aged doctor's attitude became much better after hearing this, and he took the initiative to reach out and said, "I am Jason, the doctor of the 6th Medical Company, and the young man next to me is Flory, the ambulance driver I am responsible for."
"Victor"
Wei Ran shook hands with the other party, and by the way introduced Makara, his son Karl, and Konon, who was in a coma. Of course, Konon at this time was also from the Civil Guard.
"Dr. Jason, what if..."
Markla paused here, and then continued, "If you are still willing to believe us, I know a place where you can temporarily avoid the Soviet troops that may appear around you, as well as the upcoming blizzard."
"Blizzard?" Dr. Jason frowned. There were still several wounded people lying in the ambulance behind him.
Markla looked at the heavy snow that was carried by the strong wind, and said worriedly, "The snowstorm is coming soon, but what is more terrifying than the snowstorm is that an avalanche may occur in this canyon at any time."
Seeing that Dr. Jason was still hesitant, Wei Ran took the initiative and asked the young soldier next to him, "Florry, can your ambulance still be used?"
Flory shook his head, "The engine was damaged when we fell down the mountain just now. Before you guys came, we were trying to figure out how to dismantle the ambulance compartment and see if we could turn it into a sled."
Wei Ran turned to look at Dr. Jason, "You have the treatment technology we need, and we have the sleigh you need. At least before the Soviets surround us, how about we all give each other some trust?"
Dr. Jason glanced at Conon lying in the sleigh, then looked back at the wounded in the ambulance, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are we going?"
Markla immediately replied, "There is a fork in the road about two kilometers ahead. We followed the fork into another canyon. At the end of the canyon, there is a hunter's cabin that is secluded enough. No one usually goes there. Only when hunting
When there are wolves, only hunters will go and hide.”
"When we get to the hunter's cabin, I will perform surgery on your companion."
Before Dr. Jason finished speaking, Karl, who looked anxious, immediately said, "Then hurry up and put all the wounded in the ambulance onto the sleigh!"
"Load any other needed supplies into the car!" Markla added, greeting her son and heading towards the ambulance door.
When the young soldier Flory saw that Dr. Jason had also gone over to help, he immediately put his submachine gun on his shoulder and chased after Wei Ran in no particular order.
With everyone's busy work, a total of five wounded people, along with some blankets, gasoline and medical supplies, were all put on the sleigh.
"Are these the only people?" Markla checked with Jason one last time, but while speaking, she was already calling the reindeer to take steps.
“There’s only so much left.”
Jason, who was holding the sleigh on foot, replied, "The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that escorted us not long ago hit a mine. Two people died. Now there are only so many left."
Compared to the few people who were paying attention to the casualties, Wei Ran's attention was focused on the wounded who were sitting or lying on the sleigh.
Except for Konon, who was unconscious, two of the remaining five German wounded had their faces covered with bandages, one had an abdominal injury and could only lie down, and had a dark blue scarf wrapped around his head, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
.There is also one whose left leg has been amputated from the knee down, and the last one’s neck is tightly wrapped in gauze.
After careful identification, Wei Ran could not find the target of this trip, Yannick, among the two injured people with exposed faces.
Finally, he glanced at the three injured people whose appearance was unclear. Wei Ran secretly pondered as he followed them, guessing whether there was Yannick among the three of them. If so, which one was him? If not, who was he?
When will it appear?
Before Wei Ran could figure out the result, the heavily overloaded sleigh had already turned into a fork in the canyon, being dragged hard by the two reindeer.
This deep canyon is even more scary than the one just now. The rock walls on both sides are almost straight up and down, and the snow attached to the top more than ten meters high seems to be rolling down at any time.
Under Karl's low-pitched reminder, everyone removed the magazines of their respective weapons and emptied the bullets in the chambers to prevent the sudden discharge of gunfire from triggering avalanches on the rock walls on both sides.
After arduously advancing for about a kilometer or two along this winding canyon, the terrain began to slowly rise, and the snow under our feet became deeper and deeper. If everyone hadn't been wearing snowshoes or skis, I would have probably lost more than half of the canyon.
Their legs were stuck in. Even the two reindeer, their bellies had already touched the snow on the ground at this time, and this seemingly endless uphill road made their progress more and more difficult.
"The hunter's cabin is just above this slope."
Markla pulled the reindeer and whispered, "How about letting my son Carl and my companions stay here, I will send a few wounded people and Flory up, and then come down to pick you up?"
Dr. Jason nodded without thinking and waved to Flory to help lift a few lightly injured people down and help reduce the weight of the sleigh.
"Leave this big guy behind too?" Flory lifted up the rabbit skin blanket covering the anti-tank gun and asked Wei Ran in German.
"Just keep it for now, it's still useful."
With Weiran's translation, Markla pointed to the top of his head and said, "If someone catches up along this road, it can at least trigger an avalanche above us."
Jason waved his hand, "Then take it with you and go faster!"
When Markla heard this, he immediately shook the reins in his hand and signaled the reindeer to pull the much reduced sleigh up the slope.
After the sleigh and the two hard-working reindeer went back and forth, everyone finally left this scary canyon and hid on a small highland wrapped in coniferous forest in the center of the mountain range, and successfully
Inside, I found a log cabin that was not too big, but big enough to accommodate everyone.
The ruffian reminds you: please collect it after reading it.
