Chapter 39: The Winter Offensive of 916 (8K)_5

"Dead!" The Machine Gunner continued firing without turning back. His machine gun was already smoking, and the barrel looked like it was about to melt.

Kosolek: "I asked where the platoon leader is!"

"Next to us!"

It was then that Kosolek saw the platoon leader lying in the trench, his entire upper body covered in blood.

He took a quick step forward, completely disregarding the platoon leader's injuries, and picked him up to leave.

After walking a few steps, his conscience kicked in, and he turned back to shout at the Machine Gunner, "Retreat! Head to the second line of defense!"

The Machine Gunner started yelling.

Kosolek shook his head and started running, carrying the platoon leader.

Behind him, the sound of a grenade exploding rang out, and the machine gun temporarily fell silent. However, in a few seconds, the hysterical gunfire resumed.
