  Chapter 703 Persevere (Part 2)

  Sokov knew very well that in such a small space in the sewer, there was not even a place to hide. Once there was an exchange of fire, both sides would suffer heavy losses. He wanted to leave this dangerous area immediately, but when he thought that in such a dangerous situation, leaving his subordinates to escape alone would seriously damage his image, he changed his mind again.

  He bit the bullet and answered Samoilov: "No, I want to be with the soldiers."

   Samoilov had no right to object to Sokov's decision. He could only move his body secretly to completely block Sokov. His idea is very simple, he stands in front of the commander, even if the enemy in the distance shoots, he can use his body to block the bullet for the commander.

  When Sokov and Samoilov spoke, they both deliberately lowered their voices. If they were in other places, they felt that they would not be heard. But in such a special environment as the sewer, no matter how soft the sound is, there will inevitably be an echo. The German soldiers who were approaching here immediately sensed that there was someone in front of them, and the German soldiers walking in the front pulled the trigger without hesitation. .

   Da da da, after a series of gunshots, two soldiers standing outside were shot and fell down. Seeing that his group had been spotted by the Germans, Samoilov quickly shouted: "Fire!" and took the lead to shoot at the position where the muzzle flame appeared just now.

   Following Samoilov's order, the soldiers in the sewer immediately squatted down, or leaned against the wall on one side, holding their guns and shooting in the direction where the German army appeared. In the dense rain of bullets, the few German soldiers walking in the front fell to the ground convulsing violently as if they were electrocuted. The remaining soldiers quickly dodged to the sides and raised their guns to fight back.

  The two sides exchanged fire in the sewer, and people kept getting shot and fell headlong into the mud. Seeing the danger here, Samoilov quickly grabbed Sokov's arm and dragged him to the other side of the sewer. After running for a dozen steps, he stopped and said to Sokov, "Comrade Commander, if you run another 30 meters forward, there will be a fork in the road. Take the one on the right and you will be able to reach Papchenko directly." Command post of the lieutenant colonel."

   "No way," Sokov said, still a little embarrassed at this moment, ashamed to leave the soldiers to escape alone: ​​"How can I leave you and escape alone?"

"Comrade Commander," Seeing Sokov's stubbornness, Samoilov was a little anxious. He pushed Sukov forward vigorously and said loudly: "You are the leader of the first division. If there is someone here How can I explain to the chief of staff what are the three long and two short. You go, I will lead the soldiers here to block, don't let us die worthless."

  Since Samoilov has already said this, Sokov knows in his heart that if he still cares about face and refuses to leave here, maybe he will confess here today. He raised his hand and patted Samoilov's shoulder twice. Without saying anything, he ran towards the fork with his assault rifle.

When Sokov ran forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot, he was thinking to himself: the number of Germans who touched the sewer must not be too many. I will see Papchenko later and ask them to send soldiers to support Samoilov, we must wipe out all these Germans.

  He originally thought that he had entered the passage on the right side of the fork and would soon be near Papchenko's command post. Unexpectedly, after running not far, another fork was found, and there were not two passages, but three. Looking at the three forks, Sokov was dumbfounded. He didn't know which way he should take to reach Papchenko's command post.

  After repeated weighing, he decisively chose the one on the right, and rushed in without hesitation. After running far, there was another fork in front of him. Seeing this situation, Sokov almost went crazy. The road he chose just now was randomly chosen. Now there are two roads in front of him. Which one should he choose? Woolen cloth? If you choose the wrong one, you will be farther and farther away from your destination.

In the end, he chose the passage on the right again. He thought very clearly that no matter whether there will be another fork in the future, he will always choose the passage on the far right. Even if he makes a mistake, he will not get lost when he returns. . While running, he finally understood why the soldiers of the 122nd Regiment lost their way when they first used the sewer. The passages in it extend in all directions, comparable to a maze.

   After passing four or five forks in a row, Sokov stopped. He felt that he must have lost his way, and he might already be turning back. Running in the sewer full of silt, one is not fast, and the other is too much energy. After running for so long, Sokov was already out of breath, so he leaned his back against the wall and began to gulp. Panting, I want to recover the exhausted physical strength in the shortest time.

   Unexpectedly, not long after, he suddenly heard someone coming towards his position, and judging from the crunching sound of the mud being stepped on, there were at least five or six people on the other side. He didn't dare to speak, because he didn't know whether it was his fighters or the enemies who entered the sewer from other positions.

   Soon, he heard the familiar sound of a German submachine gun, and then several bullets whizzed by in front of him with a howling sound. Although the soldiers of the guard company were equipped with all German weapons, the direction of the bullets was not from his own direction. Sokov immediately judged that these were several enemies who had entered the sewer.

   After a while, his judgment was confirmed, and the shouts of the German soldiers clearly reached his ears. Hearing that the enemy was coming in his direction, Sokov knew that as long as he made a slight movement, he would immediately attract crazy German fire. Therefore, he stood motionless in place, but raised the assault rifle in his hand, and pulled the trigger towards the looming shadow.

   After two burst shots, Sokov didn't bother to check whether he hit the target, and pulled out the grenade at his waist. This was originally a glorious bomb he prepared for himself, but at this moment, he decisively decided to use it against the German soldiers in the sewer. After pulling the string with his teeth, he threw it towards the enemy's position.

   There was a loud "boom", and there was an explosion in the sewer. In the light of the fire, Sokov saw at least two German soldiers knocked down by grenades. He took advantage of the remaining enemies to dodge himself, parked his assault rifle, stooped and ran in the direction he came. Fortunately, there was a fork in the road more than ten meters away. As soon as he turned the corner, the German bullets chased him, hitting the brick wall of the pipeline without exception, splashing countless sparks.

Sokov didn't care about anything, he just kept running forward aimlessly. Although his lungs were about to explode, he didn't dare to slow down at all. , the farther away from here the better.

But he ran to a fork, and when he was choosing which way to go, he heard dense gunshots coming from ahead. Because the echo in the sewer was too loud, he had to distinguish it for a while before he heard which passage it was There was an exchange of fire, he quickly turned and ran to another passage.

  When he stopped again, he felt exhausted. If he didn't rest for a while, he couldn't continue running. Unexpectedly, he had just leaned his back against the pipe wall, and before he could catch his breath, he heard footsteps and Germans talking nearby. Hearing this voice, Sokov almost collapsed. How could there be so many Germans, and the more than 1,000 commanders and fighters under him disappeared?

  Knowing that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, Sokov hurriedly pulled himself together and ran in the opposite direction, hoping to get rid of the enemy as soon as possible and find his own soldiers to deal with them. But after running for a while, he found sadly that he ran into a dead end. Just as he turned to leave, he heard footsteps, shouts of German soldiers, and several flashlights from tens of meters behind him.

   "It's over, it was blocked by German soldiers." Sokov ignored the stinky mud on the ground, and quickly lay down in the mud, praying in his heart that the enemy would not find him.

  However, things backfired. Just when Sokov thought he was lying in the mud and it would be difficult for the German soldiers to find him, two flashlights locked him. Then he heard the sound of the bolt being pulled, and the German shouting "Hunder Hoch". Knowing that "Hender Hoch" means "hands up" in German, Sokov guessed that the Germans might have discovered that he was an officer and wanted to catch him alive, so he didn't shoot.

"What should I do?" Sokov asked himself in his heart: "Should I shoot back or raise my hand and surrender?" But he knew very well that with several guns aimed at him, he might not wait for himself to pull the trigger. The Germans will be shot into a sieve; but if you don't resist, according to the Germans, raise your hands and surrender, Sokov can't bear it in his heart.

   Seeing that Sokov was lying on the ground and did not respond for a long time, the Germans got a little impatient and pulled the trigger. A string of bullets hit Sokov next to him, splashing mud all over his face. Seeing this situation, Sokov knew in his heart that if he didn't stand up again, the next German bullets would directly greet him in the face.

   Just as he put his hands on the ground and was about to stand up, there was a burst of submachine gun fire, and the German soldiers fell to the ground in response. Their flashlights fell into the mud, and the entire pipeline suddenly became pitch black.

  The sudden sound of gunfire surprised Sokov, because he heard that it was the shooting sound of the Bobosha submachine gun, and he thought in surprise: "Could it be that the soldiers came to rescue me?"

  Sokov saw clearly that the person who came was wearing a military overcoat and a big-brimmed hat, obviously he was one of his own. But he didn't stand up immediately, and continued to keep his hands on the ground. He asked the other party, "Who are you?"

  The other party didn't answer, but walked towards Sokov unhurriedly.

  Sokov heard that there was only one person on the other side, so he quickly sat in the mud, raised his assault rifle, aimed at the person walking by, and asked sharply, "Who the **** are you? Why don't you speak?"

  The visitor still didn’t speak, but he stopped, bent down and picked up a flashlight in the mud, took a photo at the top of the sewer, and said unexpectedly: “Lin Hua, don’t be nervous, it’s from us!”

  After hearing the other party's voice, Sokov's mind went blank. Because the other party spoke neither Russian nor German, but Huaxia, which he was very familiar with; and what was surprising was that the other party actually called out his real name in one gulp.

Sokov stood up slowly, lowered the muzzle of his gun, looked at the shadow not far away, and murmured, "Who are you? How do you know my name?" Naturally, he didn't speak Russian. , but a Chinese language that has not been used for a long time.

  The other party did not answer his question immediately, but said casually: "Look who I am?" After speaking, he illuminated his face with a flashlight.

   After seeing the opponent's face clearly, Sokov couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and the assault rifle in his hand fell into the mud with a clatter. The man moved the flashlight away from his face, walked slowly in front of Sokov, bent down and picked up the assault rifle in the mud, observed it with the flashlight for a while, and said to Sokov with a smile : "I really didn't expect that you are using an AK47 now, so you have found Kalashnikov."

  Sokov also did not answer this question, but looked at the other party and asked blankly: "Who the **** are you, and why do you look exactly like me?"

   "Don't be nervous." The man smiled and said to Sokov, "I'm Lin Hua, the same person as you."

   "Nonsense, nonsense." Sokov said with a little panic: "How could you be me? Do you think I am a three-year-old child, so easy to be deceived?"

  The person who called himself Lin Hua just smiled lightly at Sokov's doubts, and said, "If I lied to you, how would I know your real name, and how could I talk to you in Huaxia?"

   "..."

   "Let me tell you the truth." Seeing Sokov's dementia, Lin Hua sighed softly, and explained to him, "I come from a parallel dimension, and you and I are the same person."

   "Parallel space?" Sokov was taken aback when he heard this sci-fi term, then shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't believe it. Parallel spaces are just people's imaginations. How could they exist?"

  Lin Hua waited for Sokov to speak, and asked back: "Since you can time travel to become Sokov, why can't I come from a parallel space? According to you, time travel is just a fantasy?"

  Lin Hua's words contain too much information, and Sokov can't digest it yet. After a long time, he asked feebly, "Then why did you appear here?"

Lin Hua shrugged his shoulders when he heard Sokov's question, and said helplessly: "When Captain Rogers and I were on the mission to destroy the Hydra base, a gap was blown out by a special bomb in time and space, and the two of us were separated. People got involved here. Now Rogers and I are looking for a way back everywhere."

   "Captain Rogers?" Sokov asked tentatively, "You mean Captain America, right?"

   "That's right, it's him." Lin Hua nodded vigorously and gave Sokov an affirmative answer.
