Chapter 2727 Chasing Shadows

"Did you see it just now? Did you see it, sir?"

I don't know if it was subconscious or intentional for some reason, but David actually called Kovanov "sir" when he spoke again, which really surprised Kovanov.

Of course, accidents are accidents, but serious matters are not delayed. For example, Kovanov did see the "flash of things" mentioned by David.

"If you are talking about the child who just ran over, then I saw it, indeed. "

Kovanov was sure that he was not mistaken, because in fact he saw the figure appear at the end of the alley not far away earlier than David, but he was a little dazed and couldn't make a sound.

You asked why he was dazed? The reason is actually very simple.

Imagine that there is fierce fighting and artillery fire on the street, and all kinds of bullets and shells are supplied in unlimited quantities. The sound of explosions and the whistling sound of bullets tearing the air linger in the ears for a long time. Every moment, there are lives that are suddenly lost, whether it is the Soviets or the Germans, and fresh lives are frantically killed by the efficient killing machine built by human hands. Under the rolling, they were all swallowed up and consumed.

In such an environment where even the soldiers armed to the teeth were in danger of death, a little kid with bare hands, who looked less than ten years old, suddenly appeared not far in front of you in ragged clothes and empty hands.

Not to mention Kovanov, a staff officer who rarely went to the battlefield, was stunned, even David, a top four person who participated in the bloody battle of Guadalcanal, looked dazed, but after a little daze, he immediately covered the camera in his arms and made a decision.

"I want to find that child, he is more important than all the photos I took just now! As long as I find him, my mission is completed! This is the last photo, I promise, sir."

"You, hey! David! Wait a minute!!!"

"There is no time, the child is running away, we have to catch up quickly! "

Before he could say anything specific, Kovanov had just opened his mouth when David, who was anxious, rushed towards the end of the alley where the child had disappeared, holding a Thompson submachine gun in one hand and a camera in the other. Kovanov shouted behind him to wait, but David, who did not even turn his head, just ran and shouted that time was running out. His personal safety had been completely forgotten at this moment, and he did not care what Kovanov was shouting behind him.

"Suka! Follow him, quickly! Don't lose him, catch up!"

At this point, there was no choice. Kovanov, whose primary goal was to try his best to ensure David's safety, could only summon the security team to follow.

Sulovchenko, who was in charge of commanding the battle, ran forward and asked Kovanov, who was also running beside him.

"What the hell! What's wrong with that American? ! Did he take the wrong medicine? He suddenly ran so fast like a thief who was discovered! ? "

His old classmate was full of complaints and curses about the sudden situation. He was also unhappy but could only suppress it. He knew that complaining now was useless. What Kovanov cared about was the specific situation ahead.

"What is the right turn in the alley ahead? Are there our people there? Have the enemies been cleared?"

Kovanov asked in an urgent tone, and Sulovchenko, who answered without thinking, was also impatient.

"You ask me? How the hell do I know?"

"In this situation, how can we have time to guard the surrounding area? We only brought a squad. Can I take over the whole alley for you with a squad of people? "It's not that Sulovchenko is unwilling to bring more people. It's just that he can't bring more people based on the actual situation of this mission. The siege team ahead has already deployed enough troops in the crossfire area. In addition, the width of the entire street is so narrow. No matter how many troops are brought, the actual effect will be minimal. It may even cause trouble to the siege team because of the large number of people. This is not a street market, the more people the more lively, but a brutal street fight with firepower flying and blood on the streets. Comparing the number of people is useless in this situation. It is better to bring only one squad to be responsible for security. The small scale can also ensure tactical flexibility. Moreover, one squad protects one. People are definitely enough from a reasonable point of view.

But the battlefield itself is not a place where reason is used. Accidents are the most common "local specialties" on the battlefield, and they always appear in various unexpected ways, such as now.

Kovanov and Sulovchenko, who were discussing what to do next while running, quickly led the security team to run all the way through the corner at the end of the alley, and turned their heads in the direction of David, who had been running in front and had just disappeared here not long ago.

A small warehouse with an open door was standing in front of them, and David, who only left a back, had just flashed in front of the warehouse door and disappeared again from the sight of Kovanov and others.

"Damn it! David, stop! Wait for us to pass, don't run anymore!!!"

"Don't yell, top student! Don't do it for the cheap life of an American! Can you really guarantee that there is no ambush set by the Germans here, and there are no black guns waiting for us in the warehouse? Shouting to remind the Germans, "We are coming! '?"

""

After hearing this, Kovanov, who was obsessed with the mission goal, suddenly realized how dangerous his shouting was, putting all his comrades, including himself, in danger.

In terms of staff skills and planning, Kovanov is undoubtedly professional.

But in terms of battlefield intuition and life-threatening skills, Kovanov admitted that he could not catch up with Sulovichenko, the "bottom student" in the class, who has now become the captain of the mechanized infantry company. This is why Malashenko transferred Sulovichenko, who is familiar with each other, to work with Kovanov.

Kovanov, who realized that it was useless to shout and would increase the risk, stopped shouting and just ran wildly. Sulovichenko, who was walking with him, also did not stop his fast pace.

While running, he raised his left arm, which was not used to hold the gun and pull the trigger, and made a "five-finger hand knife" gesture to the soldiers following behind him.

Even without the support of infantry fighting vehicles, the elite soldiers who fought on their own legs dispersed immediately after reading the order. Under the hand gesture command of the company commander without any words, they immediately distanced themselves, formed a search formation and divided into two teams, leaning towards the left and right sides at the same time, preparing to break in along both sides of the warehouse door at the same time.

However, at this moment, an unexpected accident happened again.

"Two o'clock direction, hide!!!"
