It was raining heavily, and everything around was wet.

When the Marine boots stepped on the ground covered with dead branches and leaves, they could squeeze out a puddle of water.

The old monkey scanned everything in the forest vigilantly!

Although the weather has gotten warmer, the branches still haven't sprouted buds.

Without the obstruction of branches and leaves, the view is still good.

"I feel like this forest is so ghostly. I've been shivering since I walked in."

As the deputy company commander, Ding San followed the old monkey.

This does not comply with the combat regulations of the Ming army, because generally speaking, the company commander and deputy company commander cannot stand together.

But Ding San and Lao Houhou didn't care. They felt that if they were all killed, the company would be hopeless.

Today they will enter the woods to find the legendary enemy mortar position.

According to the predictions of artillery observers, there are probably more than six mortars hidden in the woods.

In the past seven days, more than 20 Russian soldiers were killed on the front line.

The number of injured, this death is two and a half cups.

Here, not a single Russian soldier was shot to death.

The continuous drizzle in Russia has turned a large area of ​​land from Smolensk to Odessa in the north into a swamp-like place.

The war that had been going on brutally all winter was forced to press the pause button.

All troops retreated five to ten kilometers from the front line, and the two sides actually broke away from contact.

There is only one exception, and that is Kursk, which changed hands several times during the war.

Now this is the only place on the front where you can hear the sound of gunfire!

The Ming army had limited troops and was even less willing to spend time in trench warfare in the mud.

Therefore, it is the Russian army that is on the front line of Kursk now.

Opposite them was the Hebrew army, which was much better trained and equipped than them.

The Ming army had no choice but to send various troops to support the Russian army in small-scale battles.

Although the Ming army was not on the front line, it still had the advantage of artillery fire, and when the weather was good, the Ming army still had Stukas.

The heavy artillery on the front line was carefully hidden by the Hebrews.

Usually some were fired in this kind of rainy weather. It is probably because of the bad roads that also affected their logistics, so the number of heavy artillery fired was not large.

Active on the front line all day long are all kinds of elusive infantry artillery and mortars.

These two damn things usually attack targets within two kilometers, and their accuracy is amazing.

Especially mortars, which shoot straight trajectories and shells fall from the sky.

If it hits a trench or foxhole, it will be a big killer.

Moreover, mortars do not have the unique whistle sound of howitzers, which makes them difficult to guard against.

The front line is basically a battle between mortars and mortars.

The most important task of the Ming army now is to find mortars from various woods and bushes and then kill them.

"I also think there must be something in there."

The old monkey clenched one hand into a fist and raised it high!

The entire company quickly stopped moving, and the soldiers looked for thick trees to cover their bodies.

Soldiers are more expensive than finesse, so this time Old Monkey came out with only a strengthened platoon.

All the veterans and elites of the company are here. Bringing in new recruits for this kind of operation may cause bad things.

The old monkey is not willing to risk his own life to train new recruits!

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the two veterans, pointed at his own eyes, and then pointed forward.

The two veterans quickly understood, hunched their bodies and walked to the front, covering each other as they moved forward.

After the leading soldier marched more than ten meters, the soldiers behind him began to follow.

The front of the team was not spread out. The machine gunners and grenade launchers were just behind the old monkey.

On rainy days, the forest is very dark even during the day. Beyond thirty meters, visibility becomes very bad.

Although it no longer rains, it is still very cold and the breath you exhale is sometimes white.

The Ming army had well-fitting raincoats and wore cotton-padded jackets underneath.

The old monkey's eyes were scanning around like a hawk. Years of battlefield experience made him feel more and more uneasy.

The leading soldier suddenly raised his hand, and everyone in the team immediately crouched down. Their guns were pointed in all directions, covering each other!

The machine gunner and the grenade launcher quickly found two big trees and hid behind them.

"Company Commander, there is a corpse in camouflage uniform in front of us."

One of the top soldiers came back and reported in a low voice.

Camouflage uniforms are one of the unique symbols of the Ming army.

The military uniforms of the coalition forces are diverse, and Italians like to wear black clothes.

Spanish clothes tend to be green!

The French are shit yellow, the Prussians like grey.

The Austro-Hungarian Army liked to wear blue uniforms.

Anyway, no country’s military wears camouflage uniforms.

There is a corpse wearing camouflage uniform, which can only mean that a Ming soldier was killed here, and his comrades did not even have time to pick up his corpse.

This was very rare among the Ming army. Most of the time, the Ming army would take away Paoze's body.

"Don't check the corpse!" The old monkey's eyes suddenly shrank and he immediately shouted to the guard in front.

Unfortunately it's too late!

The leading soldiers had already turned over the corpse to see if it was the corpse of a Ming army.

"Boom!" The pressure thunder under the corpse detonated instantly, and the body of the leading soldier was blown up.

His body scraped off countless dead branches and leaves, and then hit the tree heavily.

The rotten corpse fell not far from the old monkey's feet. The chest had rotted away, revealing the white stubble of bones.

I don't know how many shrapnels were stuck in my body, my eyes were wide open, and blood was pouring out from my body.

It’s hopeless!

Sure enough, it was only a dozen seconds of twitching, and the guy stopped moving without even kicking his legs.

"Damn, there's an ambush!

withdraw!"

The old monkey spat, and the machine gunner immediately set up his machine gun.

The front team of the team turned into the back team. Two veterans who were behind the scenes took out a plastic bomb from their backpack, pulled out the pin and threw it in a convenient place for people to leave.

Just after they had withdrawn more than thirty meters, a series of explosions erupted where the body had just been.

The intelligence was indeed correct. There were mortar positions in this forest, and judging by the sound, there were at least six.

These mortars use instant fuzes.

Even if the cannonball is touched by a tree trunk, it will explode violently.

Shrapnel fell from the sky like rain, and you couldn't avoid it even if you were lying on the ground.

Fortunately, the old monkey reacted quickly and the whole team evacuated quickly. Otherwise, no one knows how many people would have died by this time.

"Run!" The old monkey couldn't care less at this time. He said hello and took the lead in running towards the road.

Ding San can run faster than him!

The machine gunner even picked up the machine gun and ran away.

Gu Xi

The bombardment only lasted two rounds, and the attack quickly began to extend.

The machine gunner ran more than twenty meters, and a mortar shell fell just where he was lying.

The "duh" and "duh" sounds of shrapnel hitting the tree trunk were heard endlessly, and everyone felt their scalps numb.

Even if he is wearing a helmet on his head, it is not a joke to have shrapnel hit his body.

The Hebrews only fired three rounds of shelling before stopping, because at this time the enemy's escape range was too large, and further shelling would be a waste of ammunition.

The old monkey ran wildly in the forest with his men, and his men took turns covering the retreat.
