Chapter 326 The aria that echoes across the battlefield
While waiting for the return of the political commissar Sergey, Wei Ran got an oil barrel from the young soldier Boris that did not smell of fuel at all, and then walked away alone, hiding behind a star that was enough to completely block him.
Behind the oak tree, he poured all the bucket of vodka he had brought in, and also filled up his own water bottle.
He put the empty oil barrel back into the metal book, and placed the oil barrel filled with vodka on the branch of the oak tree.
After returning to the trench, he found Boris who was still waiting for him. Wei Ran took him to find the location of the oak tree again and said, "Boris, do me a favor. After Daniela and I set off, come here.
Give the oil drum placed on the oak tree to Captain Valentin. Remember, it must be done after Daniela and I set off."
Boris looked up at the oil drum looming on the oak tree, then at Wei Yan, and finally nodded, "I...I will help you deliver the oil drum to Captain Valentin on time."
"Okay, let's go back." Wei Ran patted the other party's shoulder, and the two of them returned to the trench one after another.
In a short time, political commissar Sergei had brought an artillery observer. The observer had a Bobosha submachine gun slung on his shoulder and a radio with a waterproof canvas cover on his back.
Postman Revry also received a Bobosha submachine gun and several magazines, and even a canvas ammunition pouch containing two lemon grenades on his belt. As for Nurse Llano, at this time, she had
There is also a Mosin-Nagant rifle with a scope.
Based on this alone, we know that Company Commander Valentin and Political Commissar Sergei have agreed to her and Danila's request.
"Let me introduce you"
Political Commissar Sergei said concisely and concisely, "This is the artillery observer Andre who is operating with you. In addition to leading Andre to the German artillery position, your task is to protect his safety."
At this point, Political Commissar Sergei paused and added, "After completing the mission, you will lurk nearby and continue to observe the German positions until... you receive the order to retreat."
"Comrade Political Commissar, what about me?"
Wei Ran asked, one of his return missions was to assist Lano in completing the cover mission. As for what the cover mission was, he didn't know, but he knew that he still had a mission to kill at least 10 German soldiers.
.
Political Commissar Sergei glanced at Wei Ran, sighed and waved his hand, "Comrade reporter, please make sure you are back alive. There are still soldiers in our position waiting to be interviewed by you."
"And vodka, I'll wait for you to fulfill your promise when you come back."
Valentin next to him reminded that while speaking, he personally gave everyone a bulging sack bag and a helmet wrapped in canvas. In addition, they also each received a new cloak, and Wei Ran
Like Postman Reverie, he received a Bobosha submachine gun and matching ammunition.
"Give me some extra rifle bullets!" Wei Ran made his request after putting on the equipment he received.
Upon hearing this, Valentin immediately took out an ammunition bag filled with rifle bullets from an ammunition box not far away and handed it over.
Putting the ammunition in his pocket, Wei Ran raised his camera and took a photo of the postman Reveli, then handed the camera to the company commander Valentin, "Take a group photo for us."
Valentin nodded when he heard this, and handed the camera to the soldier Boris who had been standing not far away. Then, together with the political commissar Sergey, he asked everyone to stand in a row and took a group photo.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off." Sniper Danila, who has never had much communication with Wei Ran, urged, "If it's a little later and the fog clears, we'll have to wait until night."
"immediately!"
Wei Ran quickly took out the film from the camera, stuffed it all into the company commander Valentin along with the films taken in the past few days and his own backpack, and then loaded the last reserved film into the camera.
Said, "When I come back, I will exchange vodka for these things."
"I'll wait for you to come back to exchange for these things." Valentin took Wei Ran's satchel, and then raised his hands in a military salute with Political Commissar Sergei.
Everyone hurriedly returned the salute, and then, led by the postman Reverie, ran along the trenches towards the contaminated water source.
"Refrie, are you sure you can get around this place?" Daniela asked in a low voice, "When I came back, the Germans were already searching for me, and..."
"Don't worry, there are only five of us, they can't catch us," Revry answered confidently, then motioned for everyone to keep quiet and followed him to the end of the trench.
Glancing at the pond in the distance that was shrouded in mist and exuded a fishy smell, Revry carefully climbed out of the trench, and then waved for everyone to follow.
The group of people climbed out of the trench after the other party, crawled along the edge of the pond, and moved away from the position behind them little by little in the thick fog.
In the trenches, the soldier Boris also delivered the half barrel of vodka to Valentin in accordance with the agreement with Wei Ran.
"It seems that our journalist comrades have no plans to come back." Political Commissar Sergei sighed, and the smell of alcohol wafting from the oil drums lost its appeal.
"Sergey, are you and Tonya really not friends?" Captain Valentin asked, lighting a cigarette.
"We are classmates"
Political Commissar Sergei took out the group photo, pointed to the crossed-out names on the back and said, "We are still members of the same choir, but look, I may be the only one who can continue to sing now.
Some of the others are dead, some are injured like Tonya, and others...I don’t know where they went.”
"Sergey"
Company Commander Valentin took two puffs of his cigarette and said with a smile on his face, "Sing a song, use our speakers to sing a song, how about singing the song you usually hum?"
"
"aria?"
Political Commissar Sergei hesitated for a moment, looked up and looked in the direction where Wei Ran and others disappeared, then turned to look in the direction of the first aid station behind the position, then stood up and said, "Then let's sing an aria from "Rigoletto"!
"
Soon, the loudspeaker in the center of the position rang out the loud singing voice of Political Commissar Sergei. This song penetrated through the fog and reached the German position 200 meters away. At this time, a German soldier climbed onto the wooden pole.
Repairing the speaker that suddenly broke two days ago.
However, after he heard the singing coming from the other side, he immediately used the small pliers in his hand to cut off several wires at the end of the speaker, and then shouted down, "Our speaker is broken, we may need to replace it with a new one."
Okay, go talk to the quartermaster!"
"Are all three speakers broken?" A chain dog under the wooden pole raised his neck and asked.
The German soldier on the wooden pole cut the wires of the other two speakers at the same time and responded, "Maybe the rain these days caused a short circuit and they are all broken."
While the chained dog under the wooden pole was cursing secretly, in the first aid station behind the Soviet position, Tonya, whose neck and face were wrapped in gauze, was also humming silently to Commissar Sergei's song, and at the same time, he remembered
I made an agreement with my friends in the choir.
"After the war is over, we must go on the stage of the Bolshoi Petrov Theater to sing the complete "Rigoletto". So before the war is over, everyone must work hard to survive and practice their voices. Finally, when the time comes
Let's compete on stage to see which bastard has the most medals on his chest!"
"Another agreement is that we all go to the front line to fight the Germans, and no one is allowed to hide in the military band and wait to die."
"How about we all hide the secret that we're members of the Glee Club?"
"Then it's decided!"
"Then it's decided..."
Tonya, who was lying on the hospital bed, muttered something silently, briefly looked at his fractured thigh, then closed his eyes calmly, and silently connected with the voice part he was responsible for.
"Is it the artist singing?" Daniela murmured in a low voice, "I didn't even see him when I came back."
Nurse Lanuo opened her mouth to say something, but Wei Ran, who was crawling side by side on the other side of Danila, rushed to say, "It's him. He taught us how to sing in the morning."
"He shouldn't be here." Daniella sighed, then closed her mouth, silently followed the postman Reverie directly in front, and continued to move forward little by little hiding behind the shrubs by the lake.
Under the leadership of Revry, a group of five people circled most of the circle around the smelly pond, then got into a thick patch of grass, and continued to move forward slowly in a line.
When they were at their most dangerous, they could even hear the voices of Germans talking on the other side of the thick fog, and smell the aroma of coffee and even broth wafting from the German positions.
At this time, everyone remained absolutely quiet, and every movement was as slow as a frozen lizard.
Carefully walking through the wild grass, Revli at the front did not get up at all, and led the people behind him to continue moving forward along a canal that was at most half a meter deep and one meter wide.
At the end of this canal is a small apple orchard, but the apples on the trees have long been picked clean by the nearby Germans. Even the wooden house on one side of the apple orchard was burned to ashes.
.There were five stinking corpses hanging on one of the apple trees.
Among these corpses were two old men, two young men, and a little boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old at most.
Revry glanced at the body hanging on the tree, paused for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, and led everyone to bend down through the apple orchard and into a small patch of birch forest next to it.
“It’s safe for now”
Revry whispered, and then called Wei Ran and others to come around and explain, "Next, we only need to pass through the two German machine gun fire points to get around, but we have to wait until night."
"Refrie, this direction seems to be opposite to the direction I want to go." Danila, who had endured the whole journey, reminded her.
"Don't worry"
Revry said confidently, "As long as we bypass these two firepower points, the back will be much safer. I can even borrow a horse-drawn sledge to take you where you want to go."
"Can we destroy these two firepower points?" Nurse Lano asked in a low voice.
"No," Revry and artillery observer Andre both gave negative answers at the same time.
"It's easy to kill them," Revli said, shaking the submachine gun in his hand. "There are only five or six people in those two firepower points, but if we kill them, we won't be able to come back from here."
Nurse Lanno nodded awkwardly, "I didn't expect that."
"Okay, let's keep our voices down."
Revry finally whispered, "Although no Germans usually come here, if we encounter a patrol, we won't be able to run away. Now I will hide everyone with fallen leaves, and we will continue to set off at night."
Bar."
Although Daniella was impatient, she also knew that she had to be calmer at this time, so she simply obeyed Revry's arrangement.
Speaking of which, this young postman was quite smart. He actually found a tree hole for Daniella and Nurse Lano where brown bears hibernated. After letting the two of them go in, he carefully blocked it with fallen leaves, which was only the size of a car tire.
At the entrance of the cave, Andre was then placed in a depression surrounded by bushes, while he and Wei Ran hid on Andre's left and right sides respectively, with the three of them facing each other, feet to feet, in a similar manner.
The angle of the Mercedes-Benz logo is hidden in the thick pile of fallen leaves.
