Chapter 20 A bold plan
It was still raining outside, but there was a lot of noise in the hall of the manor.
"I think we should leave! There is no way to fight the Germans in this state." The one who spoke was Second Lieutenant Jason, the highest ranking among the wounded.
As a soldier, this kind of statement seems a bit greedy for life and death, but considering the actual situation, the second lieutenant's words are not completely unreasonable.
Although there are thirty people here, which is enough for a reinforced platoon, in fact, one-third are women, one-third are seriously injured, and almost all of the rest are covered with wounds. There were minor injuries.
Due to the rout, many people lost their weapons when they fled, so that only three people in the manor could get one gun.
The morale of the soldiers who have just suffered a defeat is also very low. Such a team cannot fight.
"Let's go? Where to go? The area around here is occupied by the Germans. We will be discovered as soon as we go out, or are you planning to abandon the women and the wounded and escape alone." Someone objected.
“That’s right, rather than going out and being a prisoner of the Germans, it’s better to surrender.” Some soldiers echoed.
"Wait, why can't we surrender? Don't we consider this plan?" Suddenly a wounded man raised his hand in the corner.
This sentence seemed to suddenly open up everyone's thoughts. Several people had different looks in their eyes, but no one spoke out of shame.
People with this kind of thinking subconsciously avoid the women in the room. These nurses rescued them in times of crisis. Surrendering at this time is tantamount to giving them to the Germans.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn.
"Let's give up this idea!" A voice broke the silence in the room, and He Chi opened the door wearing a raincoat.
I just went to the roadside to investigate and picked up this on the roadside. He Chi threw a newspaper in English, French and German on the table and handed it to the soldiers to circulate.
"Oh my God!" "How could this happen!" "God will not forgive this kind of behavior"
The German army used poison gas bombs in the latest battle.
The temperature in the room dropped several degrees, and everyone had a look of horror on their faces.
World War I was the first year of the use of chemical weapons. They were first used by the German army on the Belgian battlefield. Their horrific power and the painful plight of the dead greatly shocked the Allied soldiers.
No one believed that the army that used poison gas would treat prisoners of war well. Several people who had previously been inclined to surrender immediately changed their stance.
"Okay, it seems that we don't need to consider surrender now." He Chi threw away the newspaper and then told everyone present, "Now we can consider how to kill these Germans."
"How to fight? We don't even know how many people there are on the other side." Someone said frustratedly.
"There are 15 infantrymen and two officers. Four of them have submachine guns and a light mortar. The others have Mauser standard rifles and no heavy weapons." He Chi casually reported the enemy number of people and equipment.
"How did you know?!" Others widened their eyes in surprise.
"What do you think I just went out to do? Don't underestimate the foreign mercenary group." The expression on He Chi's face was very mysterious.
"Damn it! He can't be a big shot, my attitude towards him was not particularly good before" someone whispered quietly.
Indeed, He Chi understands English and French, can perform surgical operations, and can now go out for reconnaissance. He Chi is almost omnipotent in the eyes of these wounded soldiers, and the speculation about his identity has become complicated.
In fact, He Chi was simply bluffing. He just followed the Germans from a distance according to the 3D projection projected on his retina, and finally picked up a newspaper dropped on the ground. But there was no need for him to explain. It was better to let these soldiers maintain some respect for his identity.
"Let's fight. The terrain here is pretty good and suitable for defense. We can stop them on the other side of the wall..." Lieutenant Jason stood up to exercise command.
"Wait a minute!" He Chi stopped him and asked, "Are you going to repel this German group?"
"Of course, we can fight without as many people as they do. It is best to stick to the defense line and repel the opponent." Choice." Lieutenant Jason looked at the other party as if he were an idiot.
"You may have forgotten that this is now a German-occupied area. What can we do if we repel a dozen people? As long as someone escapes, they will send more people." He Chi said .
At this time, everyone realized that they were in enemy-occupied territory. The combat situation was different from the usual combat situation. They were a lonely army with neither logistics nor reinforcements.
"There is nothing we can do about it. We don't have enough combat power. How can we still annihilate them all?" the second lieutenant asked.
"Of course, the purpose is to completely wipe out this German army so that they can't deliver the message." He Chi made a decision that shocked everyone.
"What!" "This is impossible!" "Total annihilation, we only have a few guns, are you crazy?!" Everyone in the room with military knowledge scoffed.
"Why don't you listen to my plan? Everyone." He Chi spread his hands to everyone.
"He, I am very grateful for your treatment of everyone during this time, but please remember that according to wartime regulations, once the organization is disrupted, all combatants must obey the orders of the highest-ranking military officer on the scene. Order, and the supreme commander here is me." Perhaps because he was embarrassed by the rebuttal, Jason stood up and stopped He Chi from continuing.
“No, you should listen to what he wants to say!” A clear female voice sounded, it was Christine.
"Why, you..." Lieutenant Jason was stunned.
“Yes, it’s up to me!” Christine stood up, wearing a coat with a major collar badge. There was a suitcase that had just been opened in her hand.
"I am the supreme commander here!"
The blond French girl stood in the room and announced loudly, "Okay, now follow my order, everyone will listen to what He thinks."< br>
Then the girl took two steps back to make room for the Oriental.
"Ahem," the Orientalist coughed twice, trying to cover up his emotion of being shocked by the golden cat's sudden domineering side.
"Everyone, this German team is not equipped with heavy firepower, and it does not even have vehicles. It is probably an ordinary patrol. It should be an accident that it came to our direction."
Then he looked Looking at the rainy sky outside, "Imagine that you are a patrol team, and the continuous high-intensity combat is very... Tired, and marching hard in such bad weather."
"Suddenly, a gorgeous manor appeared in front of us, with warm fires, delicious food, dry and comfortable big beds, and most of all. The important thing is that there is a beautiful and gentle hostess, what do you think?”
Everyone was thoughtful.
"He, I seem to understand what you mean, but other things are easy to say. Where can we find a beautiful and gentle mistress?" Camille asked, tapping her lips with her hand.
"Of course we do." He Chi turned around and looked at the blonde female reporter with malicious eyes.
