Chapter 5: What a Bad Idea (Revision)
Mike. Lang shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent, indicating that he didn't understand why this was the case. Tang Yunyang crouched beside the wall under the blackened window frame, his eyes swept over the window edge and quietly looked out.
A motorcycle is speeding over the grassy fields of France, and his target is clearly the house, which has been largely destroyed by shelling.
"Damn, maybe a German scout or ...... Hmph, or maybe those French fools were detoured by the Germans. ”
Mike who saw this scene. Lang muttered a curse.
You know, at this time in 1915, although there were no major battles, skirmishes between the two sides did occur from time to time. And there will also be some small movements on the front. Then, it is logical to encounter a reconnaissance by accident.
"Are we so unlucky?"
Obviously, now is not the time to discuss this frustrating issue, and it is wiser to find a place to hide first. Tang Yunyang hurriedly picked up Mike. Lang, the two of them ran out of the house together.
I don't know if it was because of the nervousness or the cold air of the early morning, the two people who were leaning on each other shivered all over, and when they lay down in the woods and quietly looked out, the nervous gasps did not stop.
The motorcycle that came here was indeed a German reconnaissance group of the German army. They had recently been transferred to the salient of the Argonne, Shambany and Lorraine fronts, a group of the reconnaissance team of the Third Army in Flemdenburg, and they were already wearing the latest steel helmets that had just been successfully studied.
It was the proximity of the fortress of Verdun in France and the initial position of the two divisions of the Third Army in anticipation of the start of the campaign. Two divisions of the Flemdenburg Third Army that crossed here were to attack the Verdun fortress, where the most famous battle of the First World War would take place, known as the Verdun Meat Grinder.
Tang Yunyang helped Mike. Lang didn't run far, they only had time to get into the trees more than ten meters away from the ruins, and they just had time to fall down.
The "Squeak" motorcycle braked around and stopped not far from the ruins.
Three Germans got out of the motorcycles parked in front of the ruins, two of them carrying rifles, and the other was an officer-like man with only a pistol hanging from his belt.
After the three men got out of the car, the officer asked one of the soldiers to search the rubble with him, and one was left outside to be on guard.
Tang Yunyang looked at the weapons of the German soldiers, and sighed in a low voice, so that he was sticking to the ground and only worried that he would not be able to dodge Mike. Lang, I thought he was scared into something.
"A gun like the 'Mauser 98' is worth getting, although it is not as powerful as the 98K, but it is definitely a world-famous gun!"
You can imagine what kind of temptation it is for a Chinese man who loves guns, but absolutely cannot own weapons. In a country where even imitation guns are forbidden to have for various reasons, men who are good at martial arts and bravery, in the eyes of those officials, may not be castrated.
Tang Yunyang felt his heart beating violently, and he was a little afraid of his boldness. But the Mauser 98 and the motorcycle were like the temptation of a beautiful girl, so firmly attracted his gaze, and he could not move away.
What's more, don't dispose of these three guys, and then search for them, with the injured Mike. Lang and both of them could not escape the fate of being captives.
The stopped motorcycle was so close to the grass where the two were hiding that it could even be heard clearly, and the sentry was a little excited because he could ride the motorcycle on the grassy land in such a bright morning, and he was even humming a song in a small voice.
Mike. Lang watched Tang Yunyang take out the revolver from his arms, he grabbed Tang Yunyang's arm and shot a stern look in his eyes, if he could speak, he would definitely scold: "Are you crazy?" Or simply "F-you!" ”
Tang Yunyang glared at him, stretched out his index finger and put it in front of his mouth, and silently said, "Shhh Then he stretched out his index finger and pointed at Mike. Lang pointed to the ground again and told him to hide in the spot.
After making a gesture, Tang Yunyang slowly walked around to the side for a distance, and quietly crawled towards the ruins from the side.
He knew that the scouts had probably spotted the smoke from the campfire, that they wouldn't be in the house for long, and that he had to subdue the guy in front of him before they came out, that was their only chance.
Mike. Lang watched Tang Yunyang slowly crawl forward, he nervously kept biting his lip with his teeth, and his eyes quickly shifted between Tang Yunyang and the sentry, who were getting closer and closer to the sentry. And every time the sentry's gaze swept over, he buried his head deeper into the grass.
"Fuck, this is a bad idea, Tang Yunyang will kill yourself!"
Tang Yunyang crawled forward, scolding his greed in his heart. And when he crawled, he often put the black motorcycle helmet in front of him, and his head was shrunk behind the helmet as best he could, as if the game could block bullets.
The sentinel looked around.
It can be seen that he is a recruit who has just entered the battlefield, and the direction of his eyes is actually the bird on the branch, or the rising sun.
The "Mauser 98" rifle in his hand actually put the butt on the ground and looked like he was standing guard at the entrance of the headquarters.
Suddenly, a monster rushed out of the corner of the house and startled the sentry.
A large black helmet with a transparent visor that makes its eyes faintly visible. The clothes he wears indicate that "he" is still a human, but in the eyes of the Sentinel, he is definitely a strange human.
The frightened sentry glared into his eyes, his mouth half-open, and his young face was full of astonishment.
He knew the object in the other hand, it was a revolver, and at the moment it was swinging its muzzle, apparently trying to drop the weapon itself.
Probably frightened, the German soldiers who were on guard did not follow Tang Yunyang's instructions with a revolver, but picked up the Mauser 98K in his hand and looked like he was about to shoot.
"Bah, Bah"
Two gunshots rang out, adding a hint of gunpowder to the fresh air in the forest. Of course, this was the first shot fired by Tang Yunyang, who had already aimed his gun at his opponent. And in order to completely incapacitate the other party, Tang Yunyang fired two shots in one go.
The German soldier who had been shot only had time to scream before he fell to the ground, covering his wounds with his hands and falling to the ground, curled up and twitched a few times, then let out a long sigh and never moved again.
The sound of gunfire alarmed the occupants of the house, and the sound of messy footsteps accompanied by inquiring shouts came from the house.
Tang Yunyang immediately pounced forward, grabbed the strap of the rifle, pulled it over, and loaded it with a "bang". He then curled up in a ball on the back of the motorcycle, apparently hiding immediately after the shot, a request he had not forgotten.
"Click!"
There was a sound of pulling the bolt in his ears, and Tang Yunyang had a feeling that a bullet was about to fly over his entire scalp, and after observing through the gap on the motorcycle, Tang Yunyang secretly complained in his heart.
"the thief, this cowardly is a veteran!"
