Chapter 11 Alertness
The sound of birdsong in the early morning filled his ears, and Private John opened his eyes. He felt that his head hurt badly, and his throat was so dry that it was smoking.
"Sir, how long have I been asleep?"
"Forty minutes..."
An hour ago, the old gentleman who had been a veterinarian helped John remove the shrapnel and sutured the wound with pins.
Lu Li provided sulfonamide tablets, morphine, and some anti-inflammatory powder to sprinkle on the affected area.
Thanks to the morphine, John temporarily forgot the pain and fell asleep for forty minutes.
Unfortunately, the Germans were about to search here, so Lu Li could only shake him awake and let him move to the basement to hide.
"Next, Munch will take care of you. Remember, never make a sound. If you are discovered by an unfortunate enemy, don't resist. Saving your life is the most important thing."
After saying that, Lu Li was afraid that he would break away from the sutures due to excitement, so he added: "Once something like that happens, I will find a way to deal with them, such as a sneak attack."
While he was speaking, Munch came from the side and stopped talking many times.
According to Mrs. Sonia's description, there is an armored force stationed near the village of Wolfhetze. The number of the armored force is unknown. However, it is a complete fantasy to destroy them all with just three of them.
Coupled with the need to take care of the wounded soldier John, even escaping became an extremely luxurious thing.
In the silence, the old lady suddenly rushed into the room and said very fast: "The Germans have just entered the neighbor's house. You should hide in the basement. My husband and I will try to deal with these people."
Sonia was obviously flustered by the harsh English mixed with Dutch, and Lu Li and others even guessed and understood what she wanted to express.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!"
After saying this, Lu Li walked directly towards the backyard, preparing for the worst in his mind——
Once the number of enemies exceeds six and they carry heavy firearms such as machine guns, he can only give up the rescue and go to the Luncombe Wasteland alone to perform the guidance mission.
A few minutes later.
Five German soldiers rushed into the garden. The leader was wearing a special stormtrooper coat. Judging from the epaulettes, he should be a sergeant. This guy had a high nose and a pair of glasses. He looked like a well-dressed beast.
At this moment, Lu Li was holding a submachine gun and lying on the apple tree to secretly observe every move in the courtyard. The dense autumn leaves helped to cover his whereabouts.
I saw the German sergeant walking up to the old gentleman, forcing out a smile, and saying in very unskilled Dutch: "Good day, Mr. Van Ness, it's nice to see you."
In fact, he has dealt with Mrs. Sonia's family three times: the first time he came to collect private firearms, the second time he was ordered to collect food, and the third time it was a private trip, and he moved two white sheep away.
, and added a few meals to his combat team.
"What's the matter? We won't have to requisition food again. You've taken away everything we can eat at home."
There was disgust in Van Ness's words. Since the Germans came, every household in the village has experienced hellish life——
Some houses were forcibly demolished, leaving many people homeless. This was done simply because the newly arrived Germans needed wood and stones as bunkers when setting up camps.
There was a serious shortage of food. Eggs, meat, butter, and apple brandy had to be handed in on time, and the locals could only eat some cheese and oatmeal. Not only that, the young and middle-aged people also had to help the invaders build fortifications and were forced to become accomplices.
Executioner.
"No, you misunderstood me."
"I just came here to ask, have you seen any paratroopers? The ones with oil paint on their faces." The German sergeant took two steps forward, stood on his toes and looked into the house, trying to find something, while the other four
A soldier had already broken in with guns drawn.
"Stop, what do you want to do? Sonia is sick today and needs to rest." Mr. Van Ness wanted to rush forward to stop him, but was stopped by the sergeant with a rifle.
At the same time, after seeing the German guy raising his gun, Lu Li slowly poked the barrel of his submachine gun out of the bushes, ready to pull the trigger at any time.
The distance from the apple tree to the front of the house is about thirty meters, and the MP40 has an effective range of two hundred meters and an ammunition capacity of 32 rounds, which is enough.
But Lu Li didn't know if there were other German troops nearby. If they were alerted, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, the best result was for the old gentleman to send the Germans away, and then he would find an opportunity to take Monk to Lunku.
Mu Wasteland, marking the direction for the large troops airborne in Arnhem.
"Sir, don't be nervous. It's just a routine matter. Besides, they are all well-educated gentlemen and they will definitely not disturb Mrs. Sonia's rest."
Sergeant Bach straightened his clothes and said: "We have been friends for a long time. Please believe me, please step back now and don't affect the work of those young men."
Hearing this, Van Ness snorted coldly. He was fed up with the hypocrisy of the Germans, who always did dirty things in the name of civilization.
Sure enough, a scream came from the room, and Mrs. Sonia began to curse. Even though she was hiding in the apple tree, Lu Li could still hear it clearly.
If it had not been agreed in advance that Monk would not act rashly unless absolutely necessary, Monk, who was hiding in the basement, would have rushed up to practice with the Germans.
However, he vowed to take revenge, for example, by becoming the first British soldier to urinate on German soil.
Mr. Van Ness rushed towards the room again, but was stopped again. He was no longer as kind as before, and stared at the sergeant: "German gentlemen? A group of robbers!"
Bach shrugged and smiled: "Because of friendship, I choose to forget this sentence, otherwise you will be arrested and shot as a rebel."
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and shouted loudly into the house: "Young men, please be gentle with your hands and feet. Don't mess up the house, let alone scare Mrs. Sonia!"
After saying that, the movement in the room was indeed much quieter, but old Mr. Van Ness still looked at the intruder fiercely.
Sergeant Bach didn't take it seriously, stretched himself, and said to himself:
"I've been so busy that it's finally dawn."
"To express my gratitude, I think you should treat everyone to something to eat."
Seeing this, Lu Li noticed something strange.
The stormtrooper team had been here far longer than they had been searching the neighbourhood.
Was it exposed somewhere?
He hesitated a little. While holding the gun in his left hand, he unconsciously put his right hand on the paratrooper's knife.
At this time, the old gentleman said with a gloomy face: "Nothing."
"Aha, let's not be picky. There is always oatmeal. After drinking it, we will go to the next house and catch those little mice hiding." With a smile on his face, Bach walked into the house with Van Ness, who was over seventy years old,
It's like returning to your own home.
After entering the house, he looked around.
After seeing a clay pot on the table, he walked over casually.
"Milk? Good stuff, Mr. Van Ness, your life is really enviable."
