Regarding the lack of timely reinforcements from the mortars, many soldiers were unhappy. However, because of their help, some of the wounded survived.
But a large number of soldiers still died on the way to the charge. There was no time to clean the blood on Yang Tao's hands, and her clothes were also full of blood stains. The girl was exposed in front of the retreating soldiers in such a terrifying look that many people came up to ask questions.
.
Yang Tao didn't want to quarrel with adults like them because the youth camp that worried her the most didn't appear.
She knew very well that among the corpses that were collected, some were obviously children. They were all wearing red scarves, and there were boys and girls. They were from the youth camp. Such corpses had been brought back or had been marked for ten years.
Tool.
When the soldiers came back one after another without finding any children, Yang Tao and Natasha were really panicked.
The two of them had no time to notice that the soldiers were returning with their trophies, and immediately found Lavrenti and Yevgeny, who were taking a break with cigarettes in their mouths and supervising the retreat of the troops.
"Tell me quickly! Did something happen to the youth camp? Did they lose a lot of people? How is Kharkov and where are the others?"
There were so many questions about Yang Tao, coupled with her extremely bloody appearance, it simply made the two battalion commanders shudder.
It seemed that the girl was not injured. Yevgeny paused and pointed in the direction of the burning black smoke: "The youth camp is right there. They sacrificed some people, but most of them are fine. You will see them in a while."
Speaking of this, Yevgeny had to smile bitterly, "Those children are still too fanatical, and they are not afraid of death even if they are willing to die."
"Is Kharkov safe and sound?" Natasha interjected.
"He's injured! The situation is pretty bad!"
The two girls were stunned for a moment, and then seemed to accept the reality.
"I knew this daredevil and his men would charge harder than you! If he doesn't get hurt, who will get hurt!" Natasha tightened her grip on the barrel of her rifle. Everyone could see that the girl was suffering from the most serious mood swings.
moment.
Lavrenti quickly stood up and explained: "Children! Kharkov's injury is not serious, his arm was just shot!" His eyes immediately focused on the bloody star fruit: "My dear, you are the best and the only one here.
A surgeon will be brought back from Kharkov soon to take out the shrapnel, and you know what to do next!"
"Yes! I understand! To get the warhead in that kid's body is to dig into the bag and retrieve the object." Yang Tao gritted his fists again.
Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Lavrenti had to speak clearly: "This is not the time to perform surgery in Kharkov. It is very dangerous here! The enemy was defeated and we plundered their camp. It's a pity that we don't have the ability to fight with the enemy.
Continue fighting, the current task is to withdraw the entire army to their original positions! We are going out now, including you two, stop all operations immediately, it is best to follow the troops and withdraw now!"
"Are you really in such a hurry?" Yang Tao knew that this must be Balzen's order. He was the highest commander on the battlefield, so the order must be implemented.
Many soldiers still have bandages on their legs, so when the army faces a large number of wounded, the next bandages can be combined with chopped thick branches to easily make a simple stretcher.
Many soldiers died in this battle, and their corpses were not recovered in time. When the soldiers retreated, the most they could do was pick up their weapons and take them away, and vigorously pull off the piece of cloth behind the collar of the corpse that recorded the soldier's identity. Because
The retreat order was hasty and there was no time to collect many weapons, so a lot of ammunition was helplessly thrown on the battlefield.
Carambola and Natasha did not listen to the advice of Lavrenti and Yevgeny. They continued to stay at the edge of the forest, while the large troops had already begun to line up in columns and move towards their original positions.
The two of them could not accurately estimate how many people were lost in this battle. Just from the feeling, it is entirely possible to sacrifice 300 people. Some seriously injured people were carried away by the soldiers, and many people will definitely die in the retreat.
On the road, the number of sacrifices can only continue to rise.
The current battlefield was unusually and eerily calm. There were corpses everywhere, the ground was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and a group of people appeared in Natasha's field of vision.
She squinted her eyes and took a closer look, "Hey! This must be the youth camp! There is also the main force of the reconnaissance company!"
Following the direction of Natasha's finger, Carambola raised his rifle and looked clearly through the scope.
"That's right, it's the youth camp. I even saw Shula, who competed with me! This woman is safe and sound!"
Speaking of that time of making friends through martial arts, Star Tao and Shula were friends. She was a girl with very good marksmanship, and she should be able to become a very good sniper under Natasha's training. I think this girl must have fought in this battle.
She should have a record of success. She doesn't need to kill a lot of enemies, but she should have killed a Nazi.
Seeing that the two girls were very serious, Igor patted them on the back abruptly. "It's time to be mentally prepared to face your friends, especially the injured boy. Natasha, I know that that boy is actually treating you badly."
interesting!"
"Me?" Natasha's mind was instantly distracted. In fact, how could Kharkov not know about his little feelings? It's a pity that he had another man in his heart, and it was a forbidden feeling.
.
Balzen escorted the youth camp into the forest. There were many temporary stretchers in his team, and twenty wounded people were being carried, including Kharkiv.
The stretcher carrying Kharkov stopped. Seeing this, Yang Tao and Natasha immediately surrounded him. The wounds on the young man's arms were bloody.
"You idiot, your youth battalion rushed too hard! Have you forgotten Comrade Berekov's warning? You should be more rational! Especially you, the battalion commander!"
In the face of Natasha's scolding, Kharkov was smiling. His mental state was very bad and he really had no time to speak. The girl stopped talking after talking. She knew that this bastard admired her, and that was enough.
He recovered and immediately held the boy's stable right hand. "Listen, Kharkov, you can't be so crazy anymore. You must maintain your formation even if you charge!"
Yang Tao, on the other hand, didn't have so many greetings. He leaned over to observe the wounded man's wounds with a doctor's attitude, and nodded.
Ruslan didn't mind the girl's inexplicable bloody image. He quickly asked: "Besika! You are the military doctor Besika! Tell me how injured he is?"
"He was hit by a pistol bullet, right?" Star Tao asked.
"Yes! How do you know? Did you guess it?"
"How could it be a guess? I knew it at a glance. It seems that Kharkov is really lucky. If he was hit by a rifle, I'm afraid his arm would be useless! This brat is really lucky, but it's a pity
You can rest peacefully and recuperate in the next month!"
Star Tao's words immediately gave great hope to the soldiers in the youth camp. Their battalion commander was indeed fine. But these words only made one person unhappy, and that was Kharkiv himself. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but because of
I am too weak to speak.
Yang Tao could tell that this guy was full of words, so he had no choice but to pinch his waist; "Kharkov, you have to thank me and sister properly from now on. I will treat you when we get to a safe place. Now we have to retreat."
You'd better continue to be patient, it's really lucky that you were hit by the enemy's pistol bullet."
Ruslan, Shura and others naturally wanted to keep Kharkiv a secret at this time. They knew that this young man was completely in love with Natasha, so it would be too much to let her know that he was ambushed with a pistol.
Embarrassed!
After a brief meeting, the youth camp lost some people, but most of them came back successfully. This was a baptism of blood, and the surviving soldiers are considered veterans!
Balzen ordered all conversations to stop and all rest to stop. The entire army immediately withdrew to the forest position and prepared to hold on. 8
