Andre said embarrassedly: "There are German firepower points on both sides of the dam. With our current strength, it would be a fantasy to seize the dam."

"Comrade Commander, I have an idea." Wanya stared at the several dried water marks on the table and said thoughtfully: "Since we have the existing forces, it is impossible to stop the German army's blasting conspiracy by seizing the dam. Therefore, I suggest that we go straight to the blasting point where the German engineers are located. As long as the engineers are eliminated and the detonator is seized, the enemy will no longer be able to blow up the dam."

Lin Hua immediately agreed with the plan to remove the firewood from the cauldron proposed by Vanya. According to his idea, how many engineers could have hidden in the abandoned bunker? The group of people under his command were enough to deal with them.

Lin Hua left Bavel, Selyosha, Christopher and the three men guarding the prisoners. He led the remaining soldiers, led by the scout Kovning, and walked around the upper reaches of the dam from the frozen river to the west bank, and began to look for the hiding place for the German engineers.

After arriving at the west coast, Lin Hua realized that he had made a fatal mistake. Although Ernst once said that the fort where the engineers were hiding was five hundred meters northwest of the dam, what was reflected in front of him was an endless forest. To be precise, a forest covered with snow, full of white areas. To be able to find the enemy's fort in such a large area with only moonlight illumination, it is tantamount to find a needle in a haystack.

The team went back and forth in the snow for more than an hour, but found nothing. Andrey said to Lin Hua in a complaining tone: "Comrade Lieutenant, if we brought that prisoner, we might have found the hiding place of the engineer long ago."

Lin Hua was also very regretful. When he set off, he didn't expect to bring Ernst with him, otherwise he wouldn't have been looking for it aimlessly like now. But even if he wanted to send someone back to bring Ernst, it would be too late. It would take at least two hours to go back and forth. Maybe the German army would have blasted before he arrived.

Just when Lin Hua was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a soldier screaming in surprise: "Comrade Commander, look, there is a light over there!"

Hearing the warrior's voice, Lin Hua hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" He looked in the direction of the warrior's finger and saw a huge snow pile in the forest, with a faint red light coming out. Seeing this situation, Lin Hua immediately confirmed that the snow pile was the bunker he was looking for.

After discovering the target, the team immediately adopted a three-three commando formation and carefully approached the bunker in the distance. When it was less than 100 meters away from the bunker, the sudden sound of machine guns broke the silence in the forest. In the front of the combat team, two soldiers immediately fell into the snow. The soldiers who had been highly alert heard the German machine guns and fell into the snow.

Lin Hua, who was falling into the snow, looked at the snow in front of him and was hit by the enemy's machine gun and burst into pieces. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Oh no, he was discovered by the enemy!"

After the machine gunner in the company fell to the ground, he immediately set up the machine gun before Lin Hua gave the order, aimed at the German bunker for suppressing and shooting. Vanya, who was lying near Lin Hua, took the opportunity to shoot a few times, came to Lin Hua's side, and asked him for instructions: "Comrade Lieutenant, what should we do now?"

Lin Hua quickly looked at the surrounding environment and found that the troops were advancing. Although they were blocked by the German machine guns, there was only one machine gun in the bunker. As long as people were sent to detour to the side, they could be eliminated. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered Vanya: "Lieutenant, take two people, detour to the right side of the bunker and kill the enemy's machine gun."

Vanya agreed and crawled away from the blockade of German machine gun fire with two soldiers and detoured to the right side of the bunker. But they had not crawled far away, and suddenly another soldier shouted: "Comrade Commander, it's not good, the enemy in the dam has come out."

Lin Hua turned his head and saw a group of enemies rushing out of the dam and running towards his position. Seeing this, Lin Hua couldn't help but raise his throat. He knew very well that once the enemy coming out of the dam came over, his small army would be in danger of being annihilated. He quickly shouted loudly: "Leave one row, come with me in the second row!"

Lin Hua and several soldiers from the second platoon left the blockade area of ​​the German machine guns with their hands and feet to find a location to block the enemies from the dam. They hid behind the ice pile on the water and quietly watched the approaching enemies.

When the enemy was only seventy or eighty meters away from them, Lin Hua shouted: "Fight!" Then the Mosinnagan rifle in his hand took the lead and knocked down an enemy who was rushing in front. The gunshot was an order, and the soldiers of the second platoon immediately opened fire fiercely at the swarming enemy, and immediately knocked down seven or eight.

The Germans, who were blocked, hurriedly hid behind the ice pile and fought back at the second platoon soldiers. They set up general machine guns and fired violently at the ice pile where the soldiers were hiding. Because the weapons in the hands of the second platoon soldiers were mostly Mosinnagan rifles, they were soon suppressed by the enemy's firepower. Several soldiers even scratched their faces by the ice chips knocked away by bullets.

With the help of machine guns, the German soldiers came out from behind the pile of ice, leaned their waists, pressed their butts against their abdomen, and rushed towards the position where the second row was.

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, but his firepower could not stop the enemy, Lin Hua couldn't help but feel anxious. When he reached out to take the bullet from his backpack, he suddenly felt the grenade placed inside, and he immediately had a way to deal with it. He leaned against the ice pile and shouted at the soldiers on both sides: "Comrades, use grenades to blow the enemy back." After that, he pulled the lead of a grenade and threw the grenade with white smoke behind him.

After a loud "boom", several screams came, probably from the German soldiers injured. Hearing the explosion of the grenades, the soldiers also took out the grenades from their backpacks, pulled the leads and threw them towards the enemy. Amid a series of explosions, more than a dozen enemies fell down, and the rest hurriedly retreated.

"Comrade Lieutenant," scout Kovning climbed to Lin Hua's side and said loudly to him: "I found the wire that detonated the explosives."

"What, the wire that detonates the explosives?" Lin Hua couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he heard Kovning say this. If the German detonation line could be destroyed, then whether to take down the fort where the German engineers hid was lost is no longer so important. He quickly asked, "Where is it?"

Kovning pointed to the enemy opposite and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, look carefully. You can see a few wires about fifty meters away from the left rear of the enemy. As long as we cut the wires, the enemy's engineers will not be able to blast the dam."

Seeing the location of the wires clearly, Lin Hua's heart suddenly became cold. If he wanted to cut the wires, he had to risk the enemy's guns and bullets. If he was not careful, he would be shot into a sieve. Therefore, he said cautiously: "That place is within the enemy's fire blockade range, it is too dangerous."

"Comrade Lieutenant, we must take this risk." Kovning said with a serious expression: "The main force of our army will arrive at the Istria River in no time. If the German army blows up the dam before they arrive, the flood will block our army's way. If you can trust me, let me carry out this difficult task."

Lin Hua knew very well that if you wanted to cut the wires, you had to send someone to take risks. But before agreeing to Kovning's request, he said in embarrassment: "Comrade Scout, you don't have tools, how can you cut off the enemy's wires?"

Kovning grinned, then raised an axe and said to Lin Hua: "Comrade Lieutenant, before leaving the wooden house, I took an axe, but I didn't expect it to be used."

Lin Hua remembered that wooden house was just looking at the hut where Lin people lived. It was not surprising that he could find tools such as axes inside. He nodded at the other party and said, "Go, I'll wait for your good news here." Kovning nodded, turned around and crawled away.

The two sides continued to shoot at each other. Lin Hua ignored the bullets that were flying overhead, but stared nervously at Kovning who was crawling toward the distance. Kovning seemed to have good luck. After leaving the second row's position, he crawled for nearly a hundred meters and arrived at the position where the detonating wire was. Just as he raised his axe and was about to cut off the wire, he was unfortunately discovered by the nearby German army. Immediately, five or six submachine guns were aimed at him and fired. The dense bullets made the surrounding snow like a pot, and countless blood mists splashed on his body.

Seeing Kovning's body pounced forward, he lay motionless in the snow, and threw the axe in his hand far away, Lin Hua couldn't help but scream in annoyance: "Oops!" He originally wanted to call a soldier to perform this mission, but looked left and right. The soldiers were shooting with the German army, and had no time to care about anything else. He gritted his teeth, leaned his rifle against the ice pile, took out a grenade from his backpack, inserted it into his back, and crawled away from his position.
