He checked sleeping bags, compasses, gauze, shovels, socks and other tools needed in the field one by one and packed them. After doing this, he checked that his military boots had no cracks. After doing this, he was satisfied.
He stopped.
Toczink is very satisfied with his current life in the military camp.
I forgot to mention that Tochenk is a local Ukrainian. During the Tsarist Russia period, he was drafted into the army and fought in many battles. However, after the fall of Tsarist Russia, he was tired of staying in the chaotic Russian army, so he returned to his hometown.
Nemirov lived a life. In addition to renting a small piece of land, he also often hunted in the nearby mountains and forests. Although his life was not exciting, it was still passable.
However, after the merger of Romania, the local government mobilized him to join the Romanian army after learning that he was a soldier. Originally, he was unwilling at first. After all, he had just emerged from the war. Who would want to live a life where life and death are not up to them?
life.
However, the conditions given later made Tochenk's heart move. As long as he joins the army, he will be given the rank of sergeant and a monthly salary of 72 lei, which is not bad for the somewhat poor Tochenk.
.
So after the local government approached him three times, he agreed to enlist again, but this time he joined the Romanian army.
During this period in Western Ukraine, Romania recruited more than 10,000 people to join the army. They were divided into five new regiments for recruit training in Lviv, Vinnitsa, Uman, Odessa, and Kamenets.
.Here they must learn simple Romanian to facilitate communication when they enter the army in the future.
This is also what Eder learned from the experience of later generations of his motherland. For example, the current practice in Europe of all ethnic groups forming a single army is completely unfeasible. This is training soldiers for those separatist forces.
As for Tochenk, he was different from the new recruits. He did not join the new regiment, but directly joined the combat unit. After joining the army, he immediately served as the squad leader and was in charge of a dozen soldiers.
This time their platoon was assigned the task of patrolling the mountains and forests, so Toczink brought out all his hunting habits. Just in case, everything had to be prepared.
After all preparations were completed, Toczink checked the preparations of his soldiers.
The result satisfied him, and everyone completed various preparations very well. After all, with him as the squad leader, how could the soldiers not follow suit.
"Okay, let's set off. The platoon leader is probably waiting for us."
Under the leadership of Tochenk, the soldiers put on their backpacks and lined up to follow him outside.
"Tochenk, I'm just waiting for you, Class 3."
After seeing them appear, the platoon leader had already been waiting here and other soldiers said, "Let's go."
So Toczink took the soldiers and followed the team towards the mountains and forests.
Wearing non-slip military boots, a group of people climbed mountains and waded in rivers, walking in the snow-covered mountains and forests. With bare trees and elusive animals, the mountains and forests in winter are so desolate. And they were carrying heavy items and struggled in the forest.
As we moved forward, everyone was exhausted and sweating profusely.
"There is a guard post ahead, where we can spend the night."
The platoon leader pointed to a mountain ridge ahead and encouraged his soldiers.
Sure enough, after hearing that there was a house to rest for the night, the group quickened their pace. The wooden sentry tower tip, which was faintly visible at first, became more and more visible as they walked.
"Look, isn't it almost here?"
The platoon leader continued to encourage his soldiers.
The further he walked into the watchtower, the more Toczink felt his heart beat faster, as if something bad was waiting for him at the watchtower.
When he was close to 500 meters, the crows scattered around the guard tower caught his attention. The hunting experience made him immediately feel that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute."
The platoon leader, who was grabbed by Tochenke, turned around and asked: "Tochenke, what's wrong?"
Toczink said in astonishing words: "Look at the birds around the post, these are all crows."
crow?
What happened to the crow?
The platoon leader, who had not yet reacted, looked at Toczink in confusion.
Seeing that the platoon leader still didn't understand, Toczink said directly: "Platoon leader, it's not easy for crows to find food in winter. If there are corpses, they will be the first to arrive. When I was hunting before, if I found crows ahead,
Be sure to rush over and take a look as soon as possible.”
Now the platoon leader realized that there was a problem at the post. But he realized it a little late.
"Pah, pah, pah"
Several consecutive gunshots caused the platoon leader to have blood splatters all over his body.
At the same time as he heard the gunshot, Toczink felt his scalp numb, and his hat was missing. He only felt that the top of his head was numb and cold, and there was blood when he touched it.
"Enemy attack, concealment."
The deputy platoon leader roared, took the lead in finding a stone and hid. The other Romanian soldiers also quickly found bunkers and prepared to counterattack.
Among them, Toczink saw a small depression and rolled and hid in it. Only then did he realize that he was really lucky. Apart from his scalp being scratched, there were no other injuries. In fact, this was not considered good luck for him, but for those around him.
The platoon leader drew too much firepower.
At this time, the training capabilities of Romanian soldiers can be seen.
"Ta~ta~ta"
After each took cover, the Romanian soldiers each took out their own weapons and began to fight back. The only Madsen machine gun in the platoon also began to fire at the attackers.
For a time, the two sides started shooting at each other from a distance of two to three hundred meters.
At this time, a burst of Russian was heard. Toczink, who could understand these words, used Romanian, which he had just learned, and said loudly to his comrades: "It's the Russians, they are about to charge."
Sure enough, as he finished speaking, a large wave of Soviet soldiers rushed down from the mountain ridge. At first glance, Toczink saw that they were a company of Soviet soldiers.
The comrades who had been reminded by him started shooting faster now, and some even stood up and aimed at the enemy regardless of their own safety.
Although the Romanian soldiers fired fiercely, they covered the short distance of two to three hundred meters in less than a minute. So after a few rounds of bullets, the soldiers from the two sides immediately engaged in a melee.
Toczink also faced off against a Soviet soldier.
"kill"
The Soviet soldier raised his bayonet-mounted rifle and stabbed him with a single lunge.
Toczink, who was well aware of Russian combat skills, turned sideways to let the bayonet pass when the bayonet was about to reach him. He did not wait for the enemy to take it back, and hit the opponent in the face with the butt of his rifle. He was hit hard.
The opponent immediately involuntarily let go of the rifle and covered his face. At this time, Toczink killed the opponent with a backhand thrust.
Unlike Toczink who dealt with his opponents lightly, many Romanian soldiers fell into hard battles because they were not familiar with Russian combat methods.
"Let's die together."
A seriously injured Romanian soldier removed the fuse of the grenade and flew towards the enemy.
The Romanian soldiers used years of training and bloodshed to regain the situation bit by bit. Gradually, there were fewer soldiers standing on this land.
In the end, the Soviet soldiers suffered huge casualties, and the remaining dozen soldiers retreated. The number of Romanian soldiers who could still breathe was only two hands. Moreover, all of them were injured, even Tochenk was injured on the shoulder.
.At that time, he fought with a fierce enemy and finally defeated the opponent at the cost of his shoulder.
"Toczink, come here for a moment."
The deputy platoon leader, who was seriously injured, called to him.
"What's up?"
Toczink walked up to him and saw that the deputy platoon leader had multiple injuries on his thigh, abdominal wall and waist.
When the deputy platoon leader saw Tochenk, he took his hand and said: "Because you are familiar with this place, now you must send the news back to Nemilov that we were attacked."
Toczink is also a veteran who has experienced the war, so he did not continue to say anything about his mother-in-law and simply nodded and replied: "I'll leave now."
"Go ahead."
Toczink casually picked up an unknown hat, took his pistol from the platoon leader and left.
He knew that his comrades-in-arms could not go back. Judging from the fact that a company of Russian soldiers was within a day's journey of Nemilov, the Soviet Union had serious intentions this time. He had to rush back to report the news.
Seeing Tochenk's figure gradually disappearing, the deputy platoon leader called over the remaining soldiers: "Anyone of you can tell a joke, I want to hear it now."
