Twenty Seven Years - Chapter 522

With the approval of Joseph, the 600 comrades temporarily transferred from various places were divided into two teams, and began to brave the severe cold, leave the Feitier line of defense in the dark, and approach the government army positions from both sides in an enveloping manner.

“In what name did you all leave the original team?”

“I mean my wife is in labor and has to go back for two days.”

“It’s just you? You’re still a baby, so this name actually works, haha…”

“I mean that there is something wrong with the body after being checked, and I should go to the hospital to have a look.”

“I’m much simpler than you, that is to say, the other defense sections are not strong enough, so I need to go to support them.”

The comrades who were responsible for touching the vicinity of the government army’s military supply depot and destroying the military supply depot to the maximum extent shared all kinds of reasons for being drawn out on the road.

It was very cold, especially in the early hours of the morning, carrying guns, their fingers felt like they were going to freeze off.

This is also a great confidence of Joseph.

In the past, the Equality Army has always been like a tortoise, shrunk in the iron shell of the Feitier line of defense. Basically, only the government troops harassed and attacked late at night from time to time, and the Equality Army had to strengthen its defense day and night.

In bad weather like this, the government troops are unwilling to take the lead to harass, and use fatigue tactics to disintegrate the will of the Equal Army.

So, from an objective point of view, as long as the bad weather has a greater impact on the government army than that of the Equal Army, then this is a favorable situation, and it is also a key opportunity for them to grasp.

“Keep quiet! You may run into a government guard post at any time, you must be careful not to disturb them!” Clifford, who was the commander of this team, told him that he did not have a clear enough understanding of what he was about to face. Comrades who know.

“yes.”

“yes.”

“yes.”

The team stopped a lot.

After traveling two or three kilometers in the dark, the large army stopped, waiting for the news from the comrades who went to detect the route.

“Comrade Clifford, would you like some drink?” The deputy commander, Corey, whose nose and ears were red from the cold, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and gave it to Colliford, who was resting by the tree trunk.

Clifford smelled alcohol from his body, and immediately frowned: “How dare you drink while performing such an important task?”

“Just a small sip to keep warm, it’s quite effective, a little?” Corey grinned, exhaling white air one by one.

“No.” Clifford looked around seriously, but unfortunately it was too dark and his field of vision was too limited. “The next step is the most difficult. You have to pass several kilometers of clear and dark whistles to catch your breath. If you are discovered halfway, there will be a commotion , the plan will be considered a failure. You cheer me up and take care of your comrades.”

“Commander Joseph’s timing is still very good. In this weather, how much energy do you think the opponent’s sentry can cheer up? What’s more, we have never taken the initiative to attack. If they don’t take advantage of this weather to sleep peacefully, it will be regarded as a rise.” Got it.” Corey was more optimistic.

“Don’t take it lightly.” Clifford frowned.

After half an hour, several comrades sent out rushed back and reported to Clifford and Corey the situation of the guard post on the route ahead.

After their investigation ahead, it was confirmed that there are four guard posts.

However, when they got closer to check, they found that three of the guard posts were empty, and only one of the government soldiers remained on duty.

“It’s too cold, have you all gone back to the camp to sleep?” Corey analyzed logically.

“Don’t underestimate the opponent. We have never attacked them before, and today is extremely cold, but it is related to the success of the mission and the life and death of every comrade. It is best to be more cautious.” Clifford rubbed his hands. Proceed, “According to the original plan, everyone will be divided into teams of ten people, spread out and advance, pass through this mountain forest as soon as possible, and arrive at the location of the military supply depot provided by the Ministry of Intelligence.”

“Okay.” Corey went to deliver the order.

“Also, remind them again that no one can smoke. The fire is obvious in the dark, and no one should rush to load the gun. Once the gun goes off, the consequences will be disastrous.” Clifford stopped Corey, Added a few points.

“clear.”

Soon, the team of three hundred people dispersed and poured into the forest.

Basically each of them holds a knife, and good archery skills will be equipped with bows and arrows, so that when they encounter a small number of enemies, they can solve the trouble with the smallest movement.

On the other side, the team pointing directly at the government military supply depot was blocked by a small river.

“In such a cold day, the river should have been frozen long ago?” Said the experienced comrade.

The commander of this team, Darren, stood by the river and tentatively stepped on the ice with his feet. The ice surface is very brittle, and it doesn’t take much effort to create spider web-like cracks. This shows that the ice layer is too thin to support a person to pass through it smoothly.

The knowledgeable deputy commander Gordon pushed his glasses: “It may be that this side is facing the sun, and the cold is slower. The ice layer affects the heat transfer of the water below. If the heat cannot be dissipated, it is not easy to condense into ice.”

“To put it simply, it still takes time for the ice to freeze tightly?” Darren asked.

“Well, it won’t be short anyway.” Gordon said.

Darren glanced around and confirmed that there was no suitable thing that could quickly and temporarily build a small bridge, then bent down decisively, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and revealed his muscular legs: “We don’t have time to wait here, anyway. It’s a small river, neither wide nor deep, tell comrades to go for it.”

“Walk over there?” Gordon grabbed Darren, “It’s such a cold day, walking in icy water, if you can’t warm up in time, something might happen.”

“I don’t know if I can go back alive. It’s nothing.” Darren turned around and glanced at Gordon. After a few seconds, he took off his equipment and hung it on the opponent’s body, then motioned for him to lie on his back. “Come up.”

“This-”

“Intellectuals are always more expensive, and we need to take care of them.” Darren urged.

Gordon swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and watched the other comrades take off their shoes and pull up their trouser legs one after another, grinning their teeth and wading through the icy water: “No, I can do it myself.”

“Stop talking nonsense, what if you get so cold that you can’t even walk and delay your mission?” Darren didn’t talk nonsense with Gordon, he picked him up and started to cross the river.

“Comrades! Persevere! The ice is not frozen tightly, so we have to walk hard! If you take a detour, it will delay more time!”

“Take off your shoes! Roll up your pants! Dry your feet as soon as it’s over! Otherwise, you won’t want your feet!”

“As far as possible, carry one behind the other to reduce the number of people who need to wade!”

“Come on! I’ll carry you!”

“No, I’ll carry you! I’m antifreeze!”

“Comrade, come, I will carry you on my back.”

“No, you’ve memorized this several times, go ashore and wipe it off to warm your feet!”

The comrades who were carefully selected to carry out the most difficult tasks helped each other and crossed the river in less than ten minutes. After simply wiping their feet and legs that were almost frozen to the point of losing consciousness on the shore, the team stepped up to integrate again and began to move forward.

Fetier Line, Command

“The two teams are going well so far, and they are expected to arrive at their destinations around 3:30 in the morning.” Adel said, “Go and rest first, and I will watch over here.”

“How could I possibly be able to sleep.” Joseph knew that this night was extremely important to the International League of Equality, and no matter what the outcome was, he would lead his comrades who were fighting **** the Fetier defense line to face it.

Adel didn’t force it, but just handed Joseph a cigarette to help him get rid of his drowsiness: “I got a little news about Laizein, and the action team will also launch a rescue of Verak and other comrades tonight.”

“Won’t it affect us here?”

“Of course not, how many troubles have they caused in Laizein, which one can influence the situation here?” Adel crossed his legs, his face was sullen, and he didn’t seem to be happy because he wanted to rescue Veraker .

“How do they want to save?” Joseph continued to ask.

“Arresting people from the government and threatening them instead is probably a fight to the death. Even if Verak and the others cannot be rescued, we must try to protect them from being alive,” Adel said.

Joseph wanted to comment on a sentence that was too simple and rude, but he also knew that with limited strength, the action team had no choice. They were just like here, trying to make a way out: “… I hope both of us can succeed, Our side no longer has to bear the endless shelling with our heads in our hands, and their side will not repeat the tragedy of the burning of the martyrs’ cemetery.”

—

December 15th, 2:00 a.m.

Laizein, in the utility room at the end of a small alley

“The cemetery has been destroyed, let’s fight them directly!” The radical comrades were still immersed in anger.

“This period of time is too aggrieved!”

“Yes! We are not afraid of death, so what are we doing hiding all day long? Watching the cemetery being destroyed is worse than killing me!”

Evans patted the table indifferently, interrupting the expansion of this idea in the team: “The most important thing for us now is to rescue Verak and the others, not to fight the government army one by one. .Can you fight through it? Live people, go up and be swept to death by a shuttle, and this will calm your anger?”

“The question is, should we really start with those who arrest the government? This method always feels that there are still many problems that have not been resolved.” Some comrades asked worriedly.

This plan has been submitted, but in fact, this method has not yet been uniformly approved within the action team.

“I know this plan is flawed, but it’s already the best of our options.” Evans sighed, “We gave up on the martyrs’ cemetery, and we can’t give up on the comrades who were arrested. Really did that , the few hundred of us staying in Laizein really have nothing to eat.”

“I support it.” Reporter Capa was still in that corner and raised his hand, “Also, as long as we can catch people, we must communicate with the government forces. I think I am the most suitable one to be a middleman .”

Evans shook his head: “We can use telegrams or other ways to contact them without showing up. There is no need to send another comrade into a dangerous situation.”

“Comrade Evans, you think too little. You can deduce this plan later.” Capa said, “If we can go on smoothly, then there will be a day when the hostages will be exchanged. At that time It is very likely that the government army deliberately compromised and wanted to lure more comrades out according to our wishes. So, really, how do you connect and exchange hostages to be considered safe? False, and how to distinguish it?”

“What do you think?” Evans asked Capa.

“Using telegrams is safe enough, but it also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, we can’t tell Verak and the others the real situation, and we can’t make both inside and outside know and maintain a tacit understanding. In many cases, it is still our Under the circumstances that are difficult to control, there is a voice of our own inside the prison, I think it will undoubtedly increase the probability of a successful rescue operation.” Capa explained his thoughts.

“That is to say, when the time comes, you will enter the prison and act as an intermediary between us and the government army. At the same time, you must find a way to meet Verak and others, find out the situation in the prison, the plan of the government army, and then contact us Use code words to remind them from time to time.” Evans’ thoughts became clear.

“Based on my understanding of the government army, if we can really catch people from the government, they will 100% agree to make a deal with us, and they will also be 100% unwilling to make a real deal with us. And if we are really sure to implement this The plan, I hope everyone understands that we are going to forcibly complete the deal when the government forces have premeditated and ambushes.” Capa has worked for the government for so long, and he understands what the government will do in response to their actions responded.

When he finished speaking, all the comrades present were silent.

Under many difficulties, the possibility of realizing the result mentioned by Capa is so slim that you can’t feel its existence even if you close your eyes.

Evans reminded Capa: “Once the plan fails, you will be locked in prison like Comrade Verak and the others, and it is almost impossible to come out alive.”

“I know very well.” Capa nodded.

“You still have a wife and children. You have already contributed a lot to the International Equality League and this great cause. I suggest that this task be handed over to other comrades. Now that you are much better, you should go to Leicester City and The family is reunited.” Evans had thoughts of venturing into prison himself.

“No, it is precisely because I have a wife and children that I must do my best to contribute my strength to ensure that the International Equality Alliance can go on and win the final victory. Otherwise, we will fall, and they will not be liquidated. Where can I escape for revenge?” It was the family that gave Capa the confidence to continue his struggle.

“…You have a chance to change your mind before we catch people from the government. If you want to go to Leicester City, tell me anytime.” Evans left Capa with a choice, “Then the general idea is finalized , the preparations in all aspects are almost complete, comrades, start to act!”
