Chapter 48 Harassment
Boom! ! !
A huge explosion shook the major off his cot, and dust falling from the roof of the tent fell on his hair, which was as damp as mud.
"Sentinel! Sentinel! What happened!" The major casually touched his gun and shouted loudly.
"Sir, please don't be so loud, it will let the spies know your location." The one-eyed ensign strode into the tent with a weapon and immediately stopped the major from speaking loudly.
The major looked at the one-eyed lieutenant standing at the door. The opponent's military uniform was intact on his body and the weapon was in his hand. There was a faint bloodshot in the remaining one-eyed eye, and it seemed that he had not rested.
"Second Lieutenant, what happened? Where is my sentry?" Perhaps he was moved by the other party's rigorous attitude, but the major's tone was not too harsh.
"The explosion just now was on the east side of the camp. I asked the sentry to investigate the situation. There may be saboteurs sneaking in. It is not safe for you to have sentries in front of the door." Metzel stood at attention and reported.
"Saboteurs? Are you sure?"
"It's just possible. After all, there is also the possibility of accidental explosion due to damage to the ammunition. I'm just making the worst judgment. In addition, the situation was urgent just now. I told several senior non-commissioned officers to control their soldiers and not to leave the camp. I am very sorry for not asking you for instructions." Metzer replied in a straight tone.
The major found that the "guide" assigned to him by the superiors was really good at responding to emergencies and handling them appropriately, so he changed his attitude slightly and asked, "What suggestions do you have next?"
"Please wait here, I will stay here. It should be clear what happened soon."
In the heavy rain, urgent footsteps were heard outside, and a soldier appeared outside the tent. silhouette. "Sir, it's not good. Our weapons depot has exploded. Please come and take a look!"
"What!" Hearing that there was a problem with the arsenal, the major could no longer stand and wanted to go out. , and the moment he approached the door of the tent, Metzer behind him suddenly pulled him.
Brush! A sharp knife cut through the darkness, grazed the major's neck, and cut a long opening in the tent, almost killing the commander.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Metzel turned around and pinned his commander to the ground, took out his gun and fired three shots at the shadow,
"There is a spy! There is a spy!" At this time in the camp Shouts came from everywhere.
By the time other soldiers surrounded him, the attacker had already disappeared without a trace.
"Second Lieutenant, how did you know that the guy just now was a spy." The commander who survived the disaster was still frightened.
"Boots, there is too much mud on that boot. It doesn't look like it came from the arsenal to this short distance. It looks like someone who came out of the jungle." Metzer analyzed the blind spots he discovered.
"Check everyone's boots immediately!" The commander immediately gave the order to the others.
"No need, I should know who is coming." Metzel bent down, picked up a bloody knife from the ground, and then subconsciously touched his blindfold.
"Let everyone pay attention to an Asian face, we may be in trouble." The one-eyed ensign squeezed out these words through his teeth.
Metzel's premonition was very accurate. In the next two days, the entire camp was almost restless.
First, the first few heavy mortars used in the attack were bombed, two soldiers were killed, and the commander was assassinated. Then the next day, the temporarily stored flour was splashed with lime water, and a quarter of the military rations were scrapped.
In the evening, when the soldiers were having dinner, the alert Metzer found several suspicious mushrooms in the food...
That's it, the soldiers lived every day They were on tenterhooks, especially the soldiers on sentry duty. Everyone looked suspicious, but no one except the two dead ones had seen the true appearance of the saboteurs, so that some soldiers mysteriously called him "that person" .
Fortunately, the one-eyed ensign has always been vigilant, and several sabotage incidents did not have particularly serious consequences due to his intervention.
He Chi, who had been observing in the dark, saw Metzel pouring away the food under the puzzled eyes of the soldiers, and shouted, "Fuck! How come this guy is like a dog? It almost happened."
Time was tight, so He Chi just randomly picked some poisonous mushrooms from the woods. The intensity was completely incomparable to the ones he purified last time, but it was definitely enough to make people suffer from diarrhea.
Without time to grind the powder, He Chi could only break it into pieces and throw it into the German's soup pot. Unexpectedly, the one-eyed guy could see such a tiny flaw.
However, He Chi's initial goal has been achieved. He successfully held these two hundred people for 48 hours, and there are still almost four and a half days left before the task time given by the system.
But that was all he could do, because the Germans began to shrink their camp, reducing the area of the camp to half of the previous size, and the level of vigilance continued to increase. Metzel That guy stared almost nonstop, trying to find a flaw to kill He Chi.
At the same time, the external environment began to change. The sound of artillery in the south was ringing almost every day, and planes flew overhead every day. He Chi even saw a rare aerial dogfight in World War I happening right above his head.
Even without seeing it with his own eyes, he could guess that the Americans were about to fight.
On the afternoon of the third day, when a force of nearly a thousand people approached, the brutal offensive and defensive battle was no longer something that He Chi could stop alone.
"Major, are you saying that in nearly three days, your troops only fought one battle with the opponent, and not only did they fail, but they didn't even know the number of the opponent?" The expression on the face of the senior officer led by the German army in the command post He asked his question gloomily.
"Sir, we..." The German major opened his mouth but was quickly interrupted.
"I don't want to listen to your explanation. Gather the troops within two hours. My people will act with you. I need to capture this building today." said the senior official wearing the rank of colonel.
"Sir, with all due respect." Metzer stood up at this time. "The terrain here is very complex, and the enemy knows this area very well, and the firepower configuration is also good. If we attack rashly, the soldiers will have Huge casualties, if we attack by force..."
"Second Lieutenant" Colonel glanced at Metzer's shoulder insignia, "With your military rank, I don't need to explain to you, but in order to let you understand this time I still think you need to know the significance of the battle."
"The Americans and the French are going to fight back. This will be an important blocking position, and we have planned to use this manor as a base to store strategic materials. , must be taken down at all costs."
The colonel handed a list to Metzer, and the second lieutenant just glanced at it and went to prepare for the battle without saying a word.
Because there's an intimidating skull and crossbones symbol on that list.
