Chapter 154: decoupling
Of course, carrying boxes of ammunition on your head is still scary.
As soon as he got out of the train, Shulka felt relieved, because these guerrillas were obviously unprofessional, so he attacked the train with a flashlight.
That's normal, Ukrainian rebels...they're probably peasants with a **** and a gun.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and an enemy was knocked down to the ground.
Shuerka didn't even see what the opponent looked like, he only saw the light of the flashlight and the rhythmic up and down jumps, from which Shurka deduced the enemy's position and fired a shot.
"Bang!" There was another gunshot.
When the enemy was killed before, the flashlight fell to the ground and shot a ray of light to the side. This ray of light allowed Shulka to catch a black shadow, so he pulled the trigger in time.
There was a scream in the darkness. Shulka knew he had hit, but he wasn't sure where.
"Bang!" This shot hit an enemy close to the train.
Shulka hadn't spotted him until now, because he seemed to be lying in ambush beside the car... Like Major Gavrilov said, the guy was probably going to throw a grenade into the car the moment the door opened.
But he waited and waited and did not see the door of the carriage opened. Instead, he heard gunshots from the bottom of the car, so he walked a few steps curiously and bent down to check the situation under the car.
This is also a manifestation of the opponent's lack of combat experience... At this time, he should pull a grenade and throw it under the car.
But perhaps, he wanted to find out whether it was the enemy or his own people under the car. After all, he didn't understand why the enemy appeared under the car out of thin air.
But then again, what can he see even if he bends down to look at the situation? It was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
So, this is actually his habitual action... As I said before, if you want to become a soldier, you must get rid of some habits in peacetime.
The enemy didn't have that chance, because as he was bending over to look, Shulka pulled the trigger on his head at close range...he fell off the rails without a groan.
"Good fight!" Major Gavrilov, who had just come down and lay beside Shulka, praised, and at the same time raised his pistol and fired "bang bang" outward.
Other fighters also raised their guns to shoot one by one, and the flashlights fell down one after another.
Then, the enemy suddenly realized what was going on, and only heard someone shout: "Turn off the flashlight, they are shooting according to the light of the flashlight!"
So the flashlights were turned off one by one, and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness in an instant, and even the gunshots stopped, only the "rustle" of the rain.
"These traitors!" Major Gavrilov gritted his teeth and cursed.
Shulka knew why Major Gavrilov scolded him like that, because the yelling just now was in Ukrainian... Although Ukrainian and Russian have many things in common and can be communicated with each other, there are still some differences that are easy to distinguish.
But Shulka had no time to worry about this at this time, because the faint sound of footsteps sounded on both sides.
Major Gavrilov glanced at Shulka.
Shulka understood what Major Gavrilov meant, and he sensed the crisis... Although the guerrillas are inexperienced in combat, they are not stupid. They knew that under such circumstances, there was no need and no need to launch a strong attack or a frontal attack on the bottom of the carriage where Shulka and others were hiding.
They can occupy the two sides of the train first, that is, the head and tail... The fighters at the head and tail are not as lucky as Shulka and others, because their first reaction is to open the door of the carriage.
Needless to say the result, at this time they may have fallen in a pool of blood.
Then, all the guerrillas need to do is drop a pack of explosives into the car full of ammunition, or approach the car where Shulka is from the flank and throw a few grenades under the car.
Yakov also felt the danger of being surrounded, so he asked nervously: "What should I do, Comrade Major?"
Yakov was right to ask Major Gavrilov, because when the battle started, the officer with the highest rank was the commander, so of course it was Major Gavrilov who asked.
But Major Gavrilov quickly put the blame on Shulka.
"You should ask the second lieutenant, Comrade Yakov!" Major Gavrilov said: "He will command the battle!"
Shuerka couldn't help feeling bitter.
This is not an easy task. Although the quality of the guerrillas is not high, there are a lot of people. What's worse is that the time is tight now... only a few minutes to think, otherwise the whole train will "boom".
Of course, chain explosions are unlikely, because this has been considered from the beginning of shipment, so one carriage is loaded with ammunition and two carriages are loaded with supplies, otherwise the safety of train transportation will be too poor.
But even this is very detrimental to Shulka and others.
However, what can Shulka do?
Kill out?
Outnumbered in the dark, they don't even know where the enemy is, but the enemy may be ready to point their muzzles at this place with black holes.
After thinking for a while, Shulka said, "Go back!"
"What?" Yakov didn't understand, and Major Gavrilov didn't understand either.
"Yakov!" Shulka ordered: "Climb to the other side, unhook our carriage, and the others return to the carriage!"
The soldiers sound a little confused, can this work?
But Major Gavrilov understood, so he added: "Follow the order of the second lieutenant, and act quickly!"
"Yes!" The soldiers responded.
Then, one of the warriors crawled for a while and whispered, "I see!"
"What?" Yakov asked.
"We're on the slopes!"
"so what?"
…
Then Yakov also understood: "After the carriage is unhooked, it will slide along the slope, so we can disengage from the guerrillas?"
"Yes!" Another fighter replied: "This way we can escape from their encirclement!"
This is exactly Shulka's idea. The carriage does not need to be pulled by a locomotive at any time to maneuver, and gravity can also be used.
The problem is that Shulka doesn't know how long and steep the **** is...
If it is long and steep and still on a sharp bend, or if the other end is a cliff, then the train will take them and jump off.
Shulka hoped to remember the state before the train was bombed, but he couldn't.
But this doesn't seem to make sense, because no matter what the situation is, Shulka has no other choice at this time.
