machine or something like that.

"It's been more than a month, and I don't know how the situation is over there." David said while shouting at the army horse behind Wei Ran to move.

"I want to know more about the conditions of Alyosha and Dad. I hope they are still alive and well."

Flass said while putting out the bonfire, "They must be very happy to see us bringing back so many supplies, right? Brother Victor?"

"Ah...yes!" Wei Ran nodded vigorously, "I must be very happy."

"Comrade Fras, how long until we arrive?" The female soldier who was playing the harmonica just now came up and asked.

"Very soon, Comrade Qilia." Fras replied immediately, "We will definitely reach the camp before dawn."

"That's good." The female soldier named Jilia responded with a bright smile, hummed the song "Taking a Gun," and walked towards another sledge truck in the distance.

"Jilia is such a beautiful girl, right? Fras?" David, who was in charge of leading the horse, asked with a smile.

"certainly"

Fras responded, then asked slightly nervously, "David, do you like her too?"

"Jilia is like an angel. Who doesn't like her?" David spread his hands, "But don't worry, I'm not your competitor. Let's go."

Hearing this, Fras secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lit a small and pitiful oil lamp and walked in front of everyone.

In the following time, everyone was busy on their way under the guidance of the only kerosene lamp. Wei Ran also learned from the sidelines during the chat with David that after they separated, David and Fras

As well as Wei Ran, it took the "three people" nearly ten days to finally get out of the forest and successfully find a safe rear area. With the letter of introduction from Political Commissar Zinovi, they successfully contacted the Soviet government and applied for a job.

A large number of supplies and personnel were replenished.

Right now, they were transporting supplies back. He also learned that they had even applied for a small field hospital, and the female soldier named Jilia was one of the doctors in the field hospital. At the same time,

He was also the one who helped Wei Ran save his arm.

After obtaining the most critical information, Wei Ran took out the Nagant revolver and checked it. Unfortunately, the gun's cylinder was depleted with only the last bullet left. Thinking about it, there is a high probability that the anti-tank gun was also in the

Lack of ammunition status.

In addition to the information he learned from the conversation, he also noticed that there were almost 20 horse-drawn sledges following him, and the number of people could be as many as thirty or forty.

There is no doubt that once these people join Zinovi and his guerrillas, at least there will be no big trouble in logistics and this winter.

On the other hand, he also noticed that the men and women who were preparing to join the guerrillas were obviously in good spirits, and their words were full of expectations for the coming winter - they were even thinking about how to fight.

However, as the distance got closer and closer, the sky gradually turned white, and the morning fog was dispersed by the sun.

When Wei Ran began to feel familiar with the surrounding environment, everyone smelled the smell of corpses that could not be ignored.

Looking at each other, Wei Ran and David quickened their pace to catch up with Fras, who had already signaled everyone to stop by extinguishing the oil lamp.

“Something is not right”

When Fras saw the two coming, he put down the telescope he had just held and whispered, "We are all here and haven't been discovered yet. Also, do you smell it?"

"I smell it," David said, having already taken off the submachine gun he was carrying and loaded the bullet.

"It's the smell of corpses," Wei Ran warned in a low voice, "Be careful, there might be a trap."

"I'll go over and have a look." As soon as Flass said this, Wei Ran had already walked over.

Seeing this, Fras looked at David and pointed behind him, and then followed after Wei Ran.

As they walked forward, the two of them couldn't help but froze when they saw the entrance of the mica mine.

At this time, the entrance of the cave had been completely buried due to collapse, and the surrounding area was full of traces of fire after being bombed. In addition, on one of the burned pine trees, only the main trunk was left.

There were many fully clothed corpses hanging!

"It's Platoon Commander Taras!"

Flas recognized the identity of one of the corpses with missing arms at a glance. However, before he could run out, Wei Ran grabbed him by the belt.

"Don't go there"

Wei Ran said, pulling the other person back a few steps, then taking off his cloak and fanning it vigorously, bit by bit blowing away the ashes left by the burning grass on the ground.

In this way, they walked forward while fanning the wind. When the two of them returned to the charred tree trunk, Wei Ran also stopped what he was doing, squatted down and pointed at a hair that was originally hidden under the ashes.

The thread said, "Look there."

In fact, without him pointing, Flass turned pale and swallowed. He had already recognized it, it was an S-type jumping mine!

"Looks like something happened to them"

Wei Ran once again pulled the other party back and said, "We have to get to our previous camp as soon as possible."

"them..."

"Even if we can successfully remove all landmines"

Wei Ran looked at the corpses and reminded, "As long as we bury them, the Germans will notice them. They might come here regularly to check."

"Then we're just going to watch like this?" Fras clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and asked sadly.

Wei Ran sighed feebly, looked at the other person, gritted his teeth and suggested, "Let's go find Alyosha first. Maybe he is still alive. We need to settle the people we brought here first. Wait until we are in this forest."

Let’s regain our footing here and bury them again.”

"Yes, Alyosha, yes, Alyosha!"

Fras slapped his forehead, turned around and ran back, greeting the waiting people and David, eager to go around the scorched earth.

"What happened?" David came up and asked in a low voice after Wei Ran came back.

"The area near the mine was bombed."

Wei Ran sighed and explained, "The bodies of Platoon Leader Taras and several other people were used as bait in the minefield. We need to leave here as soon as possible, and then go to the previous camp to see if Alyosha is still alive.

.”

David's expression changed after hearing this, and then he fell into silence. Although those who rushed here with them looked at each other and realized that something was wrong, they rarely remained quiet. Only two people in their thirties looked at each other.

The man wearing a Soviet uniform caught up with Vlas who was walking at the front and asked what he was talking about.

For the next full day and a half, these thirty or forty people and more than 20 horse-drawn sledges only rested for less than four hours, and spent the rest of their time on the road. Only in the evening of the next day,

I saw the dead tree lying horizontally, strips of dried meat and a horse bone drying on the branches, and smoke coming out of the chimney of the shack at the root of the tree.

After a quick observation, Fras, David, and Wei Ran ran over together, opened the wooden door that was ajar, and then saw that by the fireplace of the shack, the unkempt Alyosha was using a

A German steel helmet was boiling something, and on the blanket spread out behind him, there was another person lying with his back to them.

"Clang!"

When he saw the three Wei Ran people, the wooden spoon in Alyosha's hand slipped and fell on the steel helmet used as a pot, and his smoky face covered with dirt was also gushed out.

Two traces of tears broke out.

"You guys, are you back?"

Alyosha looked at the three people crowded at the door with tears streaming down his face, "Platoon Commander Taras and the others were surrounded. I only rescued political commissar Zinovi, he...he..."

Before Alyosha could finish speaking, Wei Ran and the other three also got into the shack, comforting Alyosha and checking the bodies of him and Zinovi.

Fortunately, Alyosha's injury was not serious. He only dislocated the ankle of one foot. But Zinovi lying behind him...he had already turned into a rotten corpse.
