C1547 catacombs (1/2)
Bang... Bang... Bang... The heavy sound of the impact echoed in the narrow bunker. The injured Vadim leaned on a bed made up of ammunition box and commanded his subordinates to crash into the iron door.
They had clearly heard the commotion outside earlier. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe heavily. They could hear the noise coming from outside, as if there were a lot of people moving their things.
After everything calmed down, Vadim waited for another half an hour before letting his subordinate attempt to open the iron gate. But this time, everyone was stunned, the iron gate could not even be pushed open.
According to the plan, the filing cabinet on the entrance was only half filled with scrap paper. An adult could knock it down if he wanted to, but now the two guards couldn't hit it.
”It's blocked!” ”The cabinet outside was blocked by something …” The guards said in fear. What they didn't know was that outside, there were a total of 15 to 16 tons of military rations piled up together, tightly packing that file cabinet.
”What should we do? Battalion Commander, you have an idea! ” The group of people completely panicked. Vadim's illegitimate son and the few women also looked at him in fear, waiting for him to speak up.
”What are you panicking for!” Vadim endured the pain from half of his body sitting up, his back leaning against the bed, ”But you idiot, what were you shouting for? ”I think it's military rations, canned food and the like, which means that the Chinese are using this place as a temporary warehouse …”
”What time is it? It was 8: 30 in the morning! The sounds of gunfire in the city had stopped, indicating that the war had already ended. What should they do under normal circumstances? ”Of course it's to rest and recuperate …”
”We are all tired, yet we are in such a hurry to transport military rations. What do you all think is the reason? ”Listen …” Vadim made a gesture of silence, and the soldiers around followed him to listen carefully.
”North …” Was there movement in the north? ”Was there a gunshot...”
After listening for a long time, the guards seemed to sense the faint sounds of gunfire. However, this place was too far from the north and was still underground. There was so much food on top of it that they couldn't even hear clearly.
”Trash, you can't even hear this!” The Chinese are in such a hurry to move the supplies to the city, not even bothering to take a break from the war. This means that our reinforcements are here, and a bloody war is going on outside the city! ”
”It's true!” Everyone became excited.
”Is that a lie? Once our reinforcements defeat these rebels, they will discover us sooner or later! The food in the bunker will be enough for us to eat for a week.
”When we safely leave this place, we will become the city's guardians. We are unyielding warriors, and would rather bury ourselves alive than surrender …” Cough, We will definitely get a reward from the His Majesty the Tsar! In order to boost our morale, they have to make us heroes too! ”
”Hahaha …” ”Cough, cough, cough …” Vadim spoke a little too much before he started coughing violently.
Everyone's mood stabilized a little, but there were always some ignorant people who liked to pour cold water on them. But what if our reinforcements fail? ”Don't look at me like that, I'm just saying it's possible …”
Vadim smashed his fist on the cannon ammunition box, ”Even if there is the possibility of that happening, you don't have to be afraid...” If we do not defeat the enemy in seven days, then we will have to surrender to the Chinese! ”Don't worry, I have a seventy percent chance of convincing them that the war is already over and they won't kill anyone who captures us!”
”As long as we can survive in the POW camp, there will be many possibilities for us in the future!”
Everyone thought that it was true, if even the Central Asia lost, then they will surrender! The Battalion Commander was an officer, and most officers were exempt from his orders. Furthermore, officers had high level intelligence, so it was possible for them to exchange information and gain a chance at survival.
