"Dad Ino, when are we going to the forest opposite?" In the warm tent, Wei Ran asked, changing the subject.
"It will be dawn soon. They won't come out at this time. We can just rest for a while. We will go there again after dark." After the old hunter Ino finished speaking, he reached out and handed his sniper rifle to Wei Ran, "
You go and help Mika for a while. If someone comes out from the Soviet Union, just shoot."
Wei Ran nodded, took the opponent's sniper rifle and got out of the tent. When he was about to rush to Mika's side, he found that this young man who was several years younger than him was actually wiping tears secretly, and even blocked his eyes.
The wind's mask was wet with tears and frozen into ice.
Seeing Wei Ran coming over on his skis, Mika hurriedly grabbed a ball of snow and put it on his face. He put on a big smile again and said, "You can sleep for a while, I'm not sleepy yet."
Wei Ran sighed, stretched out his ski poles to pull the other person up, then patted his shoulder, "Go back and warm yourself up, Daddy Ino is looking for you."
"Then be careful yourself." Mika took out a long leather strip shaped like glasses from his arms and compared it to his eye sockets, then handed it to Wei Ran, "Be sure to remember to put it on after dawn, otherwise your eyes will be very uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable."
He took this piece of soft leather that was shaped like glasses and looked at it. He saw that there were small slits about the length of a matchstick at each eye position, and there were buttons made of birch wood at both ends. Wei Ran immediately understood the function of this thing.
These are earthy glasses to avoid snow blindness.
"Thanks"
Wei Ran put it in his arms, then lay down on the still warm wolf skin blanket, holding his binoculars and staring quietly at the frozen lake outside the forest.
As time passed by, the dim night was finally illuminated by the sun, and the snow-covered ice surface reflected the dazzling sunlight. Wei Ran quickly took out the leather glasses Mika gave him and put them on.
Not to mention, not only does this thing not affect his vision, it can even withstand the cold wind blowing in the face. If he had known it had this effect, he would have put it on long ago.
Less than five hours of daylight passed quietly. During this period, except for the old hunter Ino who brought some hot fried venison and coffee, not a single Soviet soldier appeared outside the forest.
As night fell again, Wei Ran took the time to go back to the warm tent and sleep for a while. When he woke up again, Mika had placed a can full of bear oil on the edge of the stove to slowly heat it, waiting for it to go inside.
When the solidified white grease melted and released a bit of fishy smell, Wei Ran imitated the two of them, reached out and dipped his hand in it, and carefully applied it on his face and hands.
After making preparations, the old hunter Ino said, "Victor, you stay here and continue to snipe the communications troops that the other party may send, and remember not to expose our position. Mika, grab a submachine gun, let's go
Take a walk in the forest opposite."
"Mika, take this"
Wei Ran took out the Nagant revolver that the old hunter Ino had given him last night from the ration bag on his waist and handed it to the other party along with the matching bullets, "I won't use it, you keep it for self-defense."
"Thank you!" Mika happily took the pistol and looked at it, "I have a pistol too!"
"I hope you won't need it." Wei Ran sent a different kind of blessing. The pistol he brought was already loaded with bullets. He really didn't need this gun, so he might as well give it to Mika.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off." Before the old hunter finished speaking, Ino had already lifted up the tent and got out.
Watching the two people leave, Wei Ran first added enough firewood to the stove, then slung the submachine gun on his shoulder, then picked up the Mosin-Nagant rifle placed in the corner, and then returned to the observation point on skis to continue observing.
Looking at the frozen lake outside the forest.
After a long time, a crisp sound of gunfire came from very far away, followed by intensive gunfire. But the brief exchange of fire was just like last night. It did not last long and ended abruptly. But it was less than half an hour apart.
, the gunfire rang out again. But it sounded from a completely different direction than the last time the gunfire came from.
Is this a sparrow tactic?
Wei Ran secretly smiled, even though there were probably only Ino and Mika on the Finnish side, but with the two of them putting up such a toss, I'm afraid the Soviet Red Army opposite would not be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
But while he was joking, Wei Ran was also secretly worried. Tomorrow was the 27th, and Finland would launch a general attack on the 163rd Infantry Division. It was still unclear whether they could take advantage of the chaos and shoot the division commander. Another question was:
On the one hand, I still have no idea where to get a camera to complete the shooting task.
During the long and patient wait, the scattered gunshots continued almost all night. But when the two came back more than ten hours later, Wei Ran found that Ino's father was tied to the skis.
Above, returned by Mikala.
"What's going on?" Wei Ran quickly rushed up on his skis to help pull the rope and asked as he moved towards the tent.
"We encountered a Soviet sniper," Mika, whose eyebrows were already turning white, said tremblingly, "Father Ino was shot."
"Go back to the tent first!" Wei Ran said, pushing his ski poles hard and sliding towards the tent with all his strength.
The two of them worked together to send the old hunter into the tent, and Wei Ran also saw clearly the wound on the side of the other's calf that was bleeding continuously.
Fortunately, the bullet that caused this wound only scratched the edge and made a blood groove nearly ten centimeters long. The bright red muscles were grinning like a child's lips, and blood continued to slowly flow out. Fortunately, although
Bones could almost be seen at the edge of the wound, but the bullet did not seem to stay in the wound, nor did it damage any major blood vessels. Otherwise, the old man would have bled to death long ago.
"We have to find a way to send him back to the camp," Wei Ran said with a frown, "Such a long wound must be sutured to stop the bleeding."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Can't go back!"
The old hunter Ino said resolutely, "It will be completely light in less than an hour. It will be easy for the Soviets to follow us when we go back at this time, which may bring danger to the camp. Once the Soviets find our
The old men and girls there can’t escape at all from the camp, and maybe the entire Civil Guard will suffer along with it.”
Seeing that the old hunter's hand was already on the pistol at his waist, Wei Ran sighed and asked, "Mika, do we have a medical kit?"
"Yes! I remember taking one!" Upon hearing this, Mika quickly rummaged through the package in the corner of the tent, and then took out an aluminum alloy lunch box.
I took the lunch box and opened it and looked at it. There were sutures and needles inside, but there was no anesthetic at all. Even the anti-inflammatories only had three pitiful tablets.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran said to the old hunter, "Dad Ino, I can try to suture your wound, but we don't have anesthetic at all, and my skills are not very good. I have only practiced with wild boar a few times before."
Wei Ran was telling the truth. During the days when he was studying at the Hongqi Forest Farm, he and Ji Ma not only practiced giving each other injections, but also practiced stitching wounds for half a day on a wild boar they caught in the forest on the last day. But neither he nor Ji Ma had any problems.
It was far from satisfactory to Teacher Dalia. After all, that was what the two of them would focus on studying in the second week.
Father Ino simply bit his mittens, "Come on, I believe you, it doesn't matter even if you can't save this leg."
"Let me prepare first"
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already stood up and got out of the tent, and found a Soviet sack from the snow-covered sleigh. In addition to the full kettle of kerosene he had brought from the camp, this sack contained
It also contains some dry food such as bacon and bread.
While the two people were in the tent, Wei Ran took out the kerosene gas lamp from the cowhide book and put it into his backpack, then carried it into the tent.
This kerosene gas lamp was obtained last time when we returned to the Cold War era. At that time, the East German female spy Hannah used these two gas lamps that could emit ice blue light to help Dr. Hans suture the wound. Now it is just in use.
Lit the gas lamp in front of the two people, Wei Ran got out of the tent and took a look. He didn't get back in until he was sure that the light would not leak out, and covered the tent entrance tightly.
"Mika, help me hold down Daddy Ino and don't let him move."
Wei Ran waited for the old hunter and Mika to nod to him respectively, and then took a closer look with the bright ice-blue light of the kerosene vapor lamp. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief until he was sure that the wound really did not damage the major blood vessels.
, took out the rubber gloves from the medical box and put them on, and completed debridement and disinfection step by step based on the basic medical knowledge taught by Teacher Dalia.
While the old hunter Ino kept trembling and groaning, Wei Ran stitched the gaping wound that was like a child's mouth back together with difficulty, and then carefully bandaged the wound.
When he finished the last work, the old hunter Ino, who had beads of sweat on his forehead, was breathing heavily and showed a difficult smile to Wei Ran.
"Take the anti-inflammatory medicine," Wei Ran said, taking off his blood-stained gloves and throwing them aside, then extinguished the kerosene lamp.
"Why are you still carrying this burden?" The old hunter Ino took the anti-inflammatory medicine with Mika's help and asked curiously as he looked at the gas lamp next to his leg that was still emitting residual heat.
"This is the last thing I brought from Vipuri," Wei Ran explained perfunctorily, then changed the subject and asked, "What happened just now? Did you find the division commander?"
"No"
Mika sighed, "We only destroyed four dining trucks and a few communications soldiers who were preparing to leave from other directions in the forest. We didn't find their headquarters at all. Instead, we were almost left behind by the opponent's snipers."
"Then what should we do next?" Wei Ran stuffed the almost cooled kerosene gas lamp into his backpack and secretly put it into a cowhide book while the two of them were not paying attention.
"The mission of sniping the division commander must be completed," the old hunter Ino said after a moment of silence, "but I'm afraid this mission can only rely on the two of you."
In the tent that still smelled of blood and kerosene, the old hunter Ino didn't wait for the two of them to say anything, then he sat up with difficulty, "Okay, I'll go on guard outside. You two can take advantage of the dawn to sleep and wait until dark.
Then we will figure out how to find the teacher."
"Dad, let me go, you need to rest now." Mika quickly held down the old hunter who was about to get up.
"I'm not that weak yet." Ino pushed Mika away, grabbed the sniper rifle next to him, and said, "Mika, you and Victor must rest well now. It's up to you whether we can snipe that division commander."
There are two.”
"Don't go out either." Wei Ran stopped Ino, "I secretly slept while you were away last night. I'll go and watch."
Ino looked at the dark circles on Wei Ran's face, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when a deafening sound of artillery suddenly came from outside the forest - Finland's siege of the 163rd Infantry Division had begun!
The three of them looked at each other, and the old hunter Ino was the first to react, "Mika! Sleigh! Victor, tear down the tent!"
After hearing this, Mika immediately ran out of the tent. As the loud whistle sounded, the two sturdy reindeer who were foraging nearby immediately ran back, each with their big mouths open, allowing Mika to sprinkle the two pieces with salt in advance.
The dry and hard bread was stuffed into their mouths respectively.
At the same time, Wei Ran also quickly untied the drawstring of the deerskin tent, and the old hunter Ino even pulled away the pine needles, pulled out the Finnish hunting knife on his waist and dug up a large piece of snow.
Lived the coal fire in the stove.
After Mika outside put the reins on the two reindeer, Wei Ran also took off the white camouflage boots outside the tent, balled them up and stuffed them into a sack. Then, together with Mika, he quickly folded and spread the deerskin tent.
Used as a mat on a sled.
Taking advantage of this period of time, the old hunter Ino not only finished putting out the fire, but even stacked the wolfskin blankets that the three of them had used to rest on, and was filling the three of them's kettles with boiling water.
After loading the wolfskin blanket and the extinguished stove into the sleigh, the old hunter Ino walked at the front of the sleigh with the support of two young men. He grabbed the reins with both hands and shouted in a low voice, "I
Come and control the sled, you two, pay attention to the enemies running out of the forest, and you must not let them escape!"
Wei Ran and Mika, who worked together to put the last bit of belongings on the sleigh, responded in no particular order. Before they could even wrap themselves in a wolfskin blanket before they got into the sleigh, the old hunter Ino shook the reins vigorously and drove off.
The reindeer started running through the dense forest.
At the same time, a truck suddenly ran out of the forest on the other side of the lake. The truck drove onto the ice in a panic, skidding and heading due north.
When the old hunter Ino saw this, he immediately ordered the reindeer to stop. Even Mika, who was sitting next to Wei Ran, couldn't help but smile with gloating.
Before Wei Ran could ask, the truck that had run less than two hundred meters on the ice sank and got stuck on the ice. Then two soldiers in Soviet military uniforms jumped out of the cab in panic.
He jumped onto the ice and ran toward the shore while rolling and crawling.
It wasn't until they left the broken ice that the old hunter slowly took off the rifle on his shoulder, took a brief aim, and then pulled the trigger!
