Advancing in a circuitous way from one side to the other, Major Barron and the enemy were heading towards each other at this time. It was uncertain how soon they would encounter each other. Moving straight forward, Cassia thought that if she was unlucky, she would happen to be caught in the middle.
Something may happen between the two warring parties.
Moreover, the traces left on the snow will also be discovered by the enemy. Cassia does not want to be the one who leads the enemy.
Running horizontally out of the woods, Cassia walked along a barren low ridgeline, approaching Major Barron and the others from a very peripheral position. The enemy would not come here, so it was relatively safer.<
/p>
The snow has become heavier again, the temperature has remained at a stable figure, and the wind has also become much stronger. Standing on the short ridge, the flying snow and the snow fog blown up by the wind blocked the view, the woods
The situation in the middle is no longer visible, only a dark forest that is quiet and lonely under the snowstorm is gradually covered with white snow.
The speed is not very fast. Cassia pays great attention to physical adjustment when moving forward, saving a lot of unnecessary loss of physical strength.
It took about half an hour for Cassia to reach the end of the short ridge, but the woods were still extending forward and the edge could not be seen. He changed the direction here and estimated the advancing speed of the troops with the physical fitness and endurance of an ordinary veteran. Cassia
He plunged into the woods, and his figure was completely submerged in black in an instant.
Soon after, he stopped and stood in the snow to look around. He should have continued on his way, but he discovered something else on the way.
There are deep marks on the snow. It seems that about ten people passed here. They are very distinct. They probably left here for less than ten minutes. Or this time will be shorter, only a few minutes.
Not sure.
It was the enemy, Cassia was sure. He turned on the flashlight and confirmed his thoughts in the faint light. Through the small details around him, these traces pointed in the same direction as he was heading. Major Barron had already gathered there.
, there probably won’t be any other lone teams waiting to return. After carefully observing these traces for a while, Cassia also ruled out the possibility that it was his own team. It didn’t look like ordinary people coming out, there was a smooth flow.
It feels inside and doesn’t seem intermittent.
To achieve such a feeling, it seems impossible without the strong strength and physical ability to push through the waist-deep snow in one breath.
"Want to go around from the side or from the rear?" Cassia probably understood the enemy's thinking. It seemed that this was the most effective way to deal with his own side, where most of the people were ordinary soldiers. In terms of frontal cooperation,
These people are definitely not as good as those well-trained veterans.
Cassia followed the traces and caught up. There were enemies opening the way. In these few minutes, he could also save some extra energy. These should be a relatively strong group of enemies, otherwise they would not be able to act as a single
The team came to carry out such a sneak attack mission. The musket was thrown away not long ago, and the only weapon left was the large-caliber revolver that he carried with him. While following these traces to pursue the enemies in front, Cassia cleaned up the things he carried.
. Throw away the excess ammunition, leaving only the bullets used in the revolver. These items were all prepared for him by Delya. They are of very good quality and have extremely large caliber and power. With the power of platinum gunpowder, in
With such a caliber, it seems that it can produce a slight taste of blue and silver bullets.
The contents of the rucksack were not moved. He would definitely throw away the rucksack before the battle. If no accident occurred, the battle should continue until people on one side were completely dead. This is what he thought.
The dozen or so people in front were very fast, and Cassia sped up to catch up. However, after a few minutes, there was still no movement in front of him, and it was always dark. But the sound of the wind became louder and louder, becoming a kind of
An excellent environment can hide sounds. As long as the movement is not particularly loud, I am afraid that the sound can be completely hidden from a distance of more than ten meters.
It feels like a huge snowstorm is gradually gathering strength. I am afraid that it will completely visit this continuous mountain range at dawn. Cassia hopes to end this battle as soon as possible. Due to natural factors, the further it is delayed, the more likely it will be.
The more they move, the worse it will be for their side. When a huge snowstorm comes, those firearms can hold on, but those veterans may completely lose their ability to move and become targets stuck in the thick snow.
After taking a look at the time, I followed the team of two captains from Cassia into the woods, and until now, less than two and a half hours have passed. The numbers on the mechanical dial indicate that it is now a little after nine o'clock in the evening, and it is pitch black.
The long night is definitely still long. And neither side seems to be in a hurry. The enemy also has the idea of delaying the time further.
The cold temperature will continue to drop. Around ten o'clock at night, it is the time when the temperature drops most rapidly. Cassia guessed that the enemy will launch an attack after that time, and the surgeon's advantage can be perfectly demonstrated at that time. Moreover,
They also don’t lack the time and patience to wait.
During the time he was thinking, his pace unknowingly accelerated a lot. If there was a chance, and without endangering himself, Cassia had considered completely annihilating the enemy team in front of him by himself. But if it was accompanied by huge risks
, even if he would harm Major Barron and the others later, Cassia could only say in her heart that she would do her best.
Not long ago, he always thought that he would be sad when the captain hiding in the snow was killed. But he didn't know whether it was due to the surrounding temperature or other unknown reasons, but he never felt too much emotion in his heart.
Fluctuation. Cassia's mood can be summed up as "that's all."
He is still in this mood now. Dead people have long become a normal thing in life, so just get used to it. The most important thing is that Cassia knows that as long as he keeps his physical condition perfect, even if Major Barron's side is annihilated, he will still be able to survive.
Can rely on legs to run back to the volcano base in a heavy snowstorm.
In this case, it might not be a good idea to run back to the volcano base. You should run back to the station where Uncle Puno is, and then leave directly by train and return to Manoma. Cassia doesn’t remember how long it took for this mood and thought to appear.
.
Not long after, visually, movement finally came from the front. Cassia saw a faint light, which was emitted by a flashlight. Several shadows were moving quickly in the dim light. Cassia counted nine people in total, and three people were walking together.
