In the corridor full of gravel and rubble, a Tang Army soldier moved cautiously. He was not sure whether there were any enemies in the building, so he took every step very cautiously.
Caution is the only option to save one's life here, even one careless moment will cost one's life.
The whole building seems a bit dark, and the sunlight cannot shine here. The windows of the dwarf's building are very small, which also affects the lighting in the building.
The Ice Empire is really too cold, so the walls of the buildings here are very thick and the windows are very small. This is a characteristic of this place.
The houses built in this way are very strong, and many small-caliber artillery shells cannot destroy these buildings. The remaining ruins have become the best line of defense, allowing soldiers from both sides to fight over them repeatedly.
When passing a door, the Tang Army soldier stopped. He looked at the situation in the room at an angle and found some people lying on the ground.
He couldn't be sure whether these people were still alive, and there was no way to be sure whether these people would do anything irrational after seeing him: some dwarf civilians would scream and cry out of fear, and some would pick up weapons and choose to resist.
.
The Tang Army has already paid a price for this. Some soldiers were injured or sacrificed because they ignored these civilians. Therefore, the Tang Army has recently popularized several war "education" to let every soldier pay attention to these details.
Holding the rifle, the soldier of the Tang Army gave a gesture to his comrades behind him, and then he slowly adjusted his body to try to see more of the situation in the room.
He did not choose to throw a grenade. On the one hand, he did not want to waste it because the amount he could carry was limited. On the other hand, throwing a grenade would also alert the nearby dwarf soldiers and expose his position.
I saw clearly that the dwarf lying on the ground in tattered clothes was a corpse. He was not breathing. Judging from the situation, he had been lying here for a while.
The probe looked around the bodies again and found that several more bodies were discarded in the room, and there was some garbage around them.
Giving a safe signal to his comrades, the leading Tang Army soldier crossed the door and continued walking along the corridor to the next room.
The Tang Army soldiers following him looked curiously at the corpses in the room as they passed the door, and swallowed their saliva when they saw the pale faces.
There are several old-looking rifles in the second room, three or four are Mosin Nagants, and two Mauser 98Ks... Judging from the wear and tear on the butts, these rifles have also been used for some time.
Already.
There were some empty ammunition boxes on the ground, a packaging box with all the grenades removed, and some bloody gauze scattered on the ground. There was also an armed belt in the corner, which seemed to be broken.
Obviously, this was once a defensive position where the dwarves were stationed, but it was later abandoned: the Tang army captured several nearby buildings a few hours ago, making the place very isolated, so the dwarves chose to retreat.
Without touching the weapons scattered in the room, the two Tang Army soldiers continued to move forward and reached the stairs at the end of the corridor.
Going up from here is the second floor. After checking the second floor, their mission was completed: less than half of the building that was supposed to have three floors collapsed. The third floor was severely damaged. It is estimated that no one would be hiding on it.
The two Tang soldiers stepped on the broken rubble on the stairs and went upstairs, making a slight thumping sound. It was impossible to be silent in this environment, so the two of them were very embarrassed.
After walking up the stairs, a new corridor appeared in front of them, with doors on both sides. It still looked full of danger.
The soldiers of the Tang Army did not rush to attack, but waited for a while in a bunker at the entrance of the stairs: they must be patient enough and avoid putting themselves in a dangerous position as much as possible.
Those recruits who don't understand these principles have either turned into corpses and lied in body bags, or they have one or more holes in their bodies and have to suffer in field hospitals.
After feeling that it was safe, the two Tang soldiers moved to the nearest room near them under alternate cover. There was nothing here except some abandoned furniture scattered around the room.
Someone seemed to have lived here before, and the dwarf soldiers might have rested here. After checking this room, the Tang army soldiers moved towards the next room.
Silently and cautiously, the two men shuttled through the corridor, checking rooms one after another that looked very dangerous.
There are corpses of dwarf soldiers in some rooms, corpses of civilians in some rooms, and garbage such as cans and bottles scattered in some rooms. The stairs to the third floor at the end of the corridor are seriously damaged and look very dangerous.
"It seems there is no one here anymore." One of the Tang Army soldiers said to his companion after stepping on the dangerous-looking wooden stairs and looking in the direction of the third floor.
His companion took out a cigarette and lit it before nodding and agreeing: "It must be so. They left in a hurry. Did you smell a smell of urine? They left some for us before leaving.
thing."
"Ha." Seeing his companion smoking, the Tang Army soldier who spoke first was also addicted to smoking. He also took out a cigarette and lit it, puffing away the smoke: "Huh... Mark it on the map and go back the way you came."
They walked back to the end of the corridor with cigarettes in their mouths, and went down the stairs. The sound of their footsteps gradually faded away. At this time, in the corner of a dark room on the third floor, a piece of rag like gravel was slowly opened, and a dwarf sniper was revealed.
He stood up warily.
He heard footsteps when the two Tang Army soldiers went up to the second floor, but he didn't know how many people there were, and he didn't see how they approached the building where he was hiding.
So he could only hide and wait for the other party to leave: obviously, the other party also felt that such a place full of corpses and smelly was not worth staying, so he left quickly.
After packing up his things, he walked to another corner and grabbed his backpack. The dwarf sniper climbed along the collapsed wall to the second floor, and walked on the gravel and rubble towards the position of his troops.
The two Tang Army soldiers would never know that just above their heads, there was a living dwarf lying with a Mosin Nagant sniper rifle in his hand. They were so close that they could even speak loudly.
They can hear each other. If measured in a straight line, the distance between them is only three meters, separated by a ceiling.
