Chapter 280 Germans! Here They Come Again!

Bruno ran out of breath, and the sound of machine guns came faintly behind him. At the same time, the sound of fighter jets flying in the air came. Bruno was scared and anxious, hiding in a narrow alley in a mess, gasping for breath.

Bruno Giesen, an ordinary British soldier, was originally stationed in Sedan, but he didn't expect the Germans to suddenly launch an attack and capture Sedan in just a few hours.

Helplessly, Bruno could only follow the large force to meet with the main force of the British and French Allied Forces. However, they didn't expect that they would fall into the encirclement of the Germans as soon as they met with the main force. The main force was instantly defeated under the German steel torrent, and countless soldiers ran around like headless flies.

As an ordinary soldier, Bruno could only go with the flow. He didn't want to be caught by the Germans. Although he was a British soldier, he was a Jew. Bruno knew clearly what would happen if the Jews fell into the hands of the Germans.

So Bruno has been running, desperately running, but this desperate run seems to have no end. The Germans are everywhere like a tide. Now Bruno has only one goal, which is to escape to the seaside as soon as possible. He heard that a large army is gathering in Dunkirk.

After a short rest, Bruno could no longer hear the roar of the planes in the sky, and the gunshots in the distance gradually moved away. Bruno climbed out of the narrow alley cautiously, carefully observing the surroundings, and ran away after confirming that there was no danger.

After an unknown period of time, Bruno left the town. Seeing that it was getting dark, Bruno felt tired and hungry.

Just at this time, Bruno saw a faint fire in the distance. Bruno subconsciously thought that there was danger ahead, so he planned to get away quickly.

However, after listening carefully, there was no sound of fighting in front. Looking closely again, there was a small village in the distance. The village was not big and there were less than 20 families living in it.

If there are people living there, there must be food!

Bruno was also hungry, and no longer considered anything else, and approached the village.

Although he was starving, Bruno did not lose his mind. He still observed the village carefully. After making sure there were no German soldiers, Bruno slowly approached.

When he came to a lighted room, Bruno knocked on the door.

"Who is it!?" A rough voice came from the house, and Bruno was startled.

"I... I just want to ask you for something to eat... I'm so hungry!"

The door slowly opened, and a big man with a height of nearly 1.8 meters and a big waist looked outside the house cautiously with a double-barreled shotgun.

"Soldier!?" The big man frowned: "Get out! Leave our village, you are not welcome here! You will attract those Germans!!"

"I have no ill intentions, I just want some food, and I will leave here immediately after eating!" Bruno begged.

The big man thought for a moment and finally compromised: "Come in, there is still some bread at home. You must leave here as soon as possible after eating! I don't want to cause trouble!"

After entering the house, Bruno found that the big man was actually a lame man. His right leg was obviously injured, and he was very inconvenient to move. He limped and moved slowly.

Bruno then found that there were people in the house. Two dusty teenagers were sitting on the dining table in front of the fireplace eating bread. The two children looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. They were wearing tattered clothes and looked like two little beggars.

The two teenagers also saw Bruno, but what was strange was that the two children were not afraid of Bruno who was covered in blood. They just raised their eyes slightly and looked at him, and then continued to lower their heads to eat the bread that had been dried a little.

"My name is Kuro. Recently, two groups of Germans have looted the village. Who knows if they will come back? There are only some dry bread left at home. Eat it quickly and leave! If the Germans find out that I took you in, our whole village will be in trouble!"

Bruno took the dry bread and chewed it in big mouthfuls without caring whether he would choke or not. At the same time, he kept nodding his head to respond to Kuro that he would not cause trouble to the village.

"Brother, where are you from?" The black-haired and yellow-skinned boy at the corner of the dining table asked.

Bruno was startled, and the bread in his mouth choked in his throat, and he almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, Kuro brought a bowl of water in time and kept patting Bruno's back to make him feel better.

Bruno drank two sips of water, looked at the boy who asked the question, and said slowly: "I came from the east and got separated from the main force!"

"East? Belgium? The main force of the Allied forces has retreated for two days. I thought the remaining troops were captured!" The boy said calmly.

Bruno looked at the boy in front of him in surprise. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old child was so mature, and he didn't have the innocence of a child at all.

Bruno: "There are still many small troops that were scattered behind..."

"What about you? Where is your team?"

Bruno shook his head: "They were all killed two days ago, and I am the only one left."

"Looking at the direction you are going, are you going to Dunkirk?"

"Yes! How do you know?" Bruno asked.

"It just so happens that we are on the way, and we are also going to Dunkirk." The boy chuckled and lowered his head to continue eating dry bread.

Bruno wanted to ask something else, but was attracted by the noisy sound outside the house.

At the same time, Craw also heard the noise outside the house. Seeing this, Craw immediately blew out the candle, and the whole house fell into darkness. Craw and Bruno both picked up their guns, stood vigilantly by the door, and listened to the noise outside.

"You can't do this! This is our last food... Please, please, there are children at home, we can't live without food..." A woman's shrill pleading came from outside the house.

As a resident of this place, Craw obviously heard the woman's voice. The crying woman outside the house was the widow Catherine on the north side of the village.

Catherine's husband responded to the war mobilization last year and went to the Maginot Line to build fortifications. However, less than a month after he left, bad news came. It was said that he stepped on a landmine while building fortifications, and the whole person was blown to pieces.

So far, Catherine has become a widow. Not long before her husband left, she had just given birth to a baby boy. A year later, the child was only one year old.

Catherine struggled to make a living and could barely make a living.

However, the war broke out. Since the Germans came, the village has been looted twice, and the remaining food has been looted.

Seeing Catherine's hardship, other villagers in the village gave her some of the hidden food, which was barely enough for her and her children.

At this moment, listening to the sound coming from outside the house, Craw knew that even the hidden food could not be saved.

Catherine begged desperately and helplessly, and the people who heard it were very distressed.

"Damn Germans! Here they come again! They have looted our village twice, and they still won't let us go! They are forcing us to die..." Craw's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush out and fight them.

Bruno saw this and hurriedly pulled Craw, shook his head at Craw, and signaled Craw not to take risks.

At this moment, the door of Craw's house was suddenly kicked open by someone violently, and then several soldiers in military uniforms rushed in. When they saw that the two had guns in their hands, several soldiers took the lead in controlling the two and unloaded their guns.

"Fuck! They even have guns!"
