Before the corpse whose mouth was covered by him stopped twitching, Wei Ran had already released his bayonet and reached out to grasp the charging handle of the AK rifle on the opponent's back.
He carefully lowered the body. At this time, another monkey soldier who was only three or four meters away was still busy camouflaging the jumping mine he had planted.
Gently pulling out the bayonet from the warm corpse, Wei Ran jumped behind the other enemy. When the other enemy heard the noise and turned around subconsciously, he simply stabbed the slender bayonet in his hand into the enemy.
The throat pierced diagonally into the chest.
When he released the bayonet, he had already grabbed the M16 rifle on the opponent's body with his left hand. At the same time, he covered his mouth with his right hand and dragged it slightly back half a meter with the strength of his arm.
After a while, the corpse stopped struggling, but while he pulled out the bayonet, he still did not forget to turn half a circle and stab it in again for a final blow.
Before he could pull out the bayonet again, the familiar but extremely disgusting feeling of brain failure hit him, and he sat down on the ground, gritting his teeth and waiting.
After a moment, he shook his head and wiped some blood from his nostrils, then pulled out his bayonet and carefully observed the possible mines on the ground, while also looking for other possible enemies.
Soon, he noticed that not far away, standing beside a small tree with a thick neck, was a man wearing tiger stripe camouflage and a bamboo hat on his head. He was holding an American M3 submachine gun in his hand and looked around warily.
soldiers.
However, before he could take action, Squad Leader Dao emerged from behind the small tree and pressed down the dust cover that acted as a safety guard on the M3 submachine gun in the enemy's hand.
With a soft "pop" sound, the Yue Yu soldier who was startled couldn't help but trembled, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
But soon, just before the hand that pressed down the dust cover covered his mouth, the expression on his face froze, and his whole body straightened up subconsciously as if he was electrocuted.
Under Wei Ran's watchful eyes, the knife squad leader simply pulled out the reconnaissance dagger that had pierced the enemy's kidney from behind, and then stabbed it into the right rib and pierced the liver, which caused severe pain.
When he pulled out the reconnaissance dagger again, the enemy had completely collapsed and allowed the knife squad leader to take away his weapon.
The two looked at each other, and then retreated in tacit understanding, then circled from other directions and lurked behind the mine-laying team.
After a while, a monkey's strange cry came from the direction they came from. Hearing the sound, Squad Leader Dao also stood up, greeted Wei Ran and walked back.
When they reunited with Squad Leader Cha and others, a total of five corpses had been carried together. At this time, the captors Zhang Hongliang and Li Dazhai were searching for loot from the corpses.
Not far away, engineer Zhao Yuejin also operated the assembled mine detector, looking for the mines that had been laid just before the corpses were alive.
Lu Yao was particularly excited at this time. He was using his Zhujiang camera to take pictures of the corpses arranged together.
"The yellow dogs are repairing mines, which means they have discovered that the minefield here has been cleared."
As the squad leader said, he pulled out a bamboo tube that was about half a meter long and as thick as a calf, with a layer of cloth wrapped around the outside. He pulled out the bamboo plug on it, smelled it, and brought it to his mouth to take a sip.
There is water inside.
"It seems we have to hurry up," Platoon Leader Luo said with a frown.
“Must hurry”
Squad Leader Dao took another sip of water as he spoke, "The weather is nice today. With such a thick fog, we may encounter many enemies."
"Go over and help," Platoon Commander Luo immediately issued an order, "Let's pass through the minefield and leave here as soon as possible."
Before he finished speaking, Squad Leader Cha and Hai Dongqing each pulled out their reconnaissance daggers and followed engineer Zhao Yuejin, quickly clearing the mines that the other party had detected and marked.
At the same time, the captors Zhang Hongliang and Li Dazhai, with the help of Wei Ran, Lu Yao and Xiao Xifeng, quickly dug several grave pits under a bush and carried the corpses in one by one.
, and used the captured landmines to make corresponding arrangements on the top and bottom of the body.
Even without explanation, Wei Ran knew clearly that this was necessary work. Although no one had told him how big the minefield in front of him was, the one being opened by engineer Zhao Yuejin was most likely the only one that could be quickly crossed.
A safe passage through this minefield.
Otherwise, they could have bypassed the enemies who were planting mines, and they would not have to bother burying the bodies and carefully cleaning up the remaining blood stains everywhere.
Whether it was mine detection and demining or corpse burial, although these tasks took about half an hour, there were still gains.
Not to mention anything else, at least Wei Ran's backpack contains one more enemy and a Chinese compressed biscuit that has not yet been unpacked in plastic packaging. By the way, it is also filled with water from the captured bamboo tube.
Belly and kettle.
Not only him, but also the captors Zhang Hongliang and Li Dazhai, and even the tall deputy squad leader Hai Dongqing, each wore tiger-spot camouflage taken from the corpse on top of the big five-leaf camouflage, and even on their heads,
They each put on a helmet, and put their backpacks into the vacated backpacks and carried them on their shoulders.
By the time they finished their work, engineer Zhao Yuejin, with the help of Hai Dongqing and others, had quickly cleared a safe passage through the minefield.
Without wasting any more time, everyone followed Zhao Yuejin who was holding a mine detector, carefully walked through the minefield with their guns raised, and continued to move forward under the cover of thick fog.
After walking about three to four hundred meters, Zhao Yuejin turned off the mine detector and returned to his position in the team, taking over the duties of the Bayi rifle and machine gun assistant shooter that Lu Yao had held for him.
They continued to move forward in silence for less than a kilometer. Just when they were about to pass through a mountain valley, Squad Leader Dao and Wei Ran who were walking at the front stopped indiscriminately and opened their hidden traps.
Signal.
Soon, everyone knelt down one after another, hiding in the bushes and weeds and listening.
After a while, rustling footsteps came from diagonally ahead, but because of the thick fog, although they could hear the footsteps, they could not see the enemy at all. Correspondingly, those enemies who were close at hand,
Their existence cannot be seen.
Just as he was thinking wildly, a Yuejun soldier wearing only camouflage shorts and a top, barefoot and holding a Type 56 submachine gun emerged from the mist, holding a cigarette in his mouth and heading towards the battle line.
Walk quickly.
Upon seeing this, everyone held their breath and looked coldly at the enemies one after another appearing behind this enemy, as well as the weapons they were equipped with.
Among those weapons were submachine guns, SVDs wrapped with camouflage cloth strips, an 82mm mortar, and mortar shells carried on people's backs. Obviously, these ten or so people were preparing for a cold-blooded attack.
.
Just when Wei Ran was thinking about whether to take action against this group of people, the last enemy carrying a cannonball had already walked past them less than five meters in front of them and walked into the thick fog.
But the knife squad leader lying at the front did not move. Instead, he tightened his grip on the dagger and silent pistol.
Not only did he not move, Wei Ran didn't move, Haidong and the others didn't move either, even Xiao Xifeng lay down obediently.
Lu Yao, who was relieved, was about to stand up and take a look, but soon Platoon Leader Luo held down his shoulders and made a silencing gesture.
Not more than two or three minutes later, a soldier in camouflage uniform carrying a foldable five-six punch came over five or six meters away, and he also deliberately avoided the route taken by his teammates in front of him.
It wasn't until he watched the opponent disappear into the thick fog that the knife squad leader emerged from the bushes where he was hiding. He quickly took out one from his backpack and pointed it at the enemy, placing it on the spot where the team just passed by.
Location.
Without wasting too much time, everyone followed Squad Leader Dao and set off again, stepping on the footprints left by the enemy team just now and continuing to move towards the enemy's rear.
"Platoon commander, do you want me to call for artillery to give them a..."
"Shhh" Platoon Leader Luo made a silent gesture towards Lu Yao, "Follow me quickly."
Hearing this, Lu Yao opened his mouth without saying anything. He carried his equipment obediently and stepped on the footsteps left by the people in front of him to speed up his pace.
Less than half an hour later, the sounds of mortar and artillery fire were heard one after another from the direction behind them. But at this time, Wei Ran and others had followed Captain Dao to a stream that was only three meters wide but knee-deep.
.
After crossing the stream, everyone calmly washed the green towels around their necks and washed their faces. Then they stood by the stream and took a shower of morning urine that they had held for a long time.
After cleaning up their respective footprints, Squad Leader Dao led everyone up the mountain diagonally, finally stopping halfway up the mountain.
After digging through a dense bush, Wei Ran couldn't help but be surprised to find that there was actually a natural cave here.
Although the mouth of this cave is not big, the inside is not small, and looking at the conditions inside the cave, it is still a typical karst cave.
After cautiously entering the cave for inspection, Squad Leader Dao greeted everyone in, and then personally sorted out the bushes outside.
"When we get here, we have completely passed through the main minefield of those white-eyed wolves."
While looking at the situation outside, Squad Leader Dao said in a low voice, "We will not encounter large-scale minefields in the future, but accordingly, there will only be more Vietnamese patrols, not less, and not only can we not be exposed to yellow
When the dogs find out, even the black dogs have to hide away.”
"This is also the farthest location where we can establish contact with Platoon Leader Zhang's rescue team."
Platoon Commander Luo pointed to the 7013 command plane hung on his chest and whispered, "Here, our command plane can still contact Platoon Leader Zhang, but further away we can only rely on Xiao Xifeng's radio station.
But using a radio is not safe. Unless we encounter an important target worthy of directing artillery strikes, we must try to avoid turning on that radio."
After the two veterans gave their respective reminders, Squad Leader Cha also took over the topic and said, "Next, adjust the formation and make a leap forward."
"yes"
Engineer Zhao Yuejin responded to the call of the squad leader in a low voice. He took out the mine detector that had just worked not long ago from his backpack and hid it in the gap behind a big stone in the cave. By the way, he also took out the mine detector from there.
Two machine gun drum drums in plastic bags were taken out and stuffed into the bag.
While he was making preparations, Squad Leader Cha continued to whisper, "Dazhai and I are responsible for breaking up the rear, and the rest of us will remain in the same position."
"Wei Ran, secret whistle." Squad Leader Dao added, "Keep your distance from us."
"yes"
Wei Ran responded happily. It was obvious that the secret sentry wandering around the team was to guard against being captured by a sneak attack. It had the same effect as the soldier at the end of the enemy team they had just avoided.
After making adjustments to the team in a few words, everyone helped clean up the locusts sucking all over their bodies, tightened the iron-legged horses on their liberation shoes, and followed the squad leader Dao to carefully drill out of the cave, and then covered the entrance of the cave again.
, continue to move towards the destination.
At 10:16 in the morning, the morning fog had not yet cleared, but the heavy rain poured down without warning.
The rain came quickly and heavily. Along with the low temperature brought by the washing of the rain, the thick fog also disappeared in the blink of an eye, which in a sense made everyone's vision much better.
Even so, everyone did not stop at all, and even took advantage of the rain to speed up.
On the right side of the team, Wei Ran just made himself a hat brim with a banana leaf he cut off and stuffed it into his mask, but did not choose to put on a waterproof and warm raincoat.
The heavy black raincoat was too conspicuous in the jungle, and the hood of the raincoat also blocked the view too much.
After wiping the rain off his face, Wei Yan kept a distance of about 10 meters from the loose team at the side and front. At the same time, he also paid attention to whether there were traces of accompanying hair lines or mines where he landed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to these man-made dangers, the remaining threats come from the vines blocking the path forward. In these vines, snakes and insects that are not known to be poisonous or not are often hidden.
The only thing he was lucky about was that the low temperature caused by the rain made these cold-blooded animals less active and would not come up to kiss him.
Led by Captain Dao who seemed to be unaware of fatigue, their loose but extremely vigilant team quietly cut their way up the mountainside under the cover of heavy rain, gradually closing the distance to their destination.
When night fell, the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping, and they stopped at the edge of a valley raging with floods due to the obstruction of flash floods.
As Wei Ran watched, the knife squad leader pulled out a hand saw that was not in the equipment list from his bag, cut off the crown and branches of an unknown small tree with a thick wrist and threw it into the flood.
.
After making some rough gestures, he took the rope handed over by Zhao Yuejin, tied one end to the waist of the small tree, and then stuck the three-claw climbing hook tied to the other end to the small bald tree.
top.
"Pull together"
The knife squad leader said hello, and immediately, except for Wang Beizhan, who was on guard with a machine gun, the others helped to grasp the rope and began to pull back hard.
With the combined force of dragging, the small naked tree was quickly bent. The sword squad leader at the front also slowly moved his steps and aimed at a tree on the opposite side of the valley.
"3,2,1, let go!"
Following the command of the knife squad leader, everyone let go. The little tree that instantly returned to its right position was like a large slingshot, and easily threw the rope into the crown of a big tree on the other side.
Gently pulling the rope to tighten it, the squad leader tied the excess part to another tree trunk that was as thick as a thigh and tried it. Then he took off his equipment and said, "I'll go there first."
Before he finished speaking, he was already climbing on the rope, almost touching the surface of the mountain torrent, and climbed over briskly.
When the other party stood on the other side and waved to everyone, Squad Leader Cha immediately let go of the rope, and Squad Leader Dao on the other side also pulled the rope over and tied it to a stronger tree trunk.
When the other party signaled again, Platoon Leader Luo used the hand saw left by the other party to cut off the small tree at the base, threw the slender trunk into the flood, and then covered it with the rotten vegetation that could be seen everywhere.
Lived on a tree stump.
At the same time, Hai Dongqing was the first to climb over on the rope, followed by the prisoner Zhang Hongliang and Li Dazhai, and each of them helped Squad Leader Dao get something.
When Wei Ran also carried the Knife Squad Leader's backpack and quickly climbed over behind Lu Yao, only Machine Gunner Wang Beizhan and Platoon Leader Luo were left on the other side.
While everyone was waiting, Wang Beizhan was the first to crawl over and set up the machine gun again.
Immediately after, Platoon Leader Luo also climbed over with a loose rope in his teeth.
After a final inspection, Platoon Leader Luo tugged hard on the rope he had brought, and the tight rope across the mountain torrent immediately loosened, allowing Wei Ran and Zhao Yuejin to take it back, and each
Stuffed into bag.
“That’s the main peak of Laoshan”
The squad leader raised his finger and pointed to a faintly visible black mountain line in the direction they came from, "We can find a place to rest for the time being. We have only walked a third of the way, but it is also the most difficult third. The remaining
The walking part is much easier.”
As he said that, he turned around and led everyone to still approach the ridge line diagonally across the mountainside.
By the time they crossed the ridgeline in the rain, although it was only less than six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting darker and darker due to the rain. Everyone also shortened the distance between each other and followed Squad Leader Dao in the dark jungle.
Turning left and right all the way, I finally reached the foot of the mountain with difficulty and found a cliff to shelter from the rain.
The bottom of the cliff is recessed about four to five meters inward, and there is a gap half a meter wide close to the ground.
If you get close to this gap, you can still hear the rushing sound of the underground river flowing inside.
After exploring the surrounding area, they finally cleared away the dead branches and bones of unknown animals scattered in the area under the cliff that would not be affected by the rain. They worked in pairs and surrounded each small pointed tent with thick raincoats.
, and then each of them hid in holding a gun.
This time, the first people on night duty became engineers Zhao Yuejin and platoon leader Luo. One of them was secretly watching, and the passwords were changed to "prepare for war" and "August 1st".
In the relatively warm tent, Wei Ran took off his soaked clothes, shoes and leggings, and wiped his whole body with a towel. After drying slightly, he put on damp autumn clothes and long trousers.
Then the Type 64 submachine gun he used and the Bayi bar lent to Lu Yao were basically wiped and maintained.
On the other hand, Lu Yao, who was in the same tent as him, was currently putting his head into his empty backpack and shining it with his small, pitiful flashlight. He didn't know what he was busy with.
Glancing at the Pearl River camera hung on the top of the tent, Wei Ran quietly took out the camera from the metal book. After some adjustments, he lifted up his raincoat slightly to let in the last ray of light from outside, and then faced the other party.
Pressed the shutter.
After secretly taking a photo of him, he pointed the camera at several other tents not far away, and pressed the shutter towards the three squad leaders Dao who were discussing something in low voices with squad leader Cha and Hai Dongqing, and then
Then he pressed the shutter one by one towards Xiao Xifeng who was checking the radio station, and the prisoners Zhang Hongliang and Li Dazhai who were also sitting at the entrance of the tent cleaning their guns.
Hearing the movement from the tent behind him, Wei Ran immediately put away the camera in his hand and turned to look at Lu Yao, who had just taken his head out of the backpack.
"What are you doing?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.
"nothing"
Lu Yao grinned and whispered while loading things into his backpack, "I just looked at the map. If I'm not wrong, we are still 14 kilometers away from our destination in a straight line. I guess we still have to walk."
It will take at least two days.”
"Can't walk anymore?"
Wei Ran asked in a low voice. At the same time, he did not forget to shake the two-layered camouflage uniform that had been drained of water, and then tied it with leggings and shook it vigorously a few times. Quan thought he was cosplaying in a washing machine.
After this dehydration, which was better than nothing, he folded his still damp camouflage uniform and used it as a pillow.
As for sun-drying, don't dream about it, unless the Americans spread enough Agent Orange over several kilometers to kill all the vegetation.
"I'm sure I can move. How can I get there?"
Lu Yao took advantage of Wei Ran's busy work and took out his camera to take a few photos, and then said rather harshly, "I'm not bragging about you, brother, I was..."
"If you have the strength, eat something and go to bed early."
As he spoke, Wei Ran lay down with his weapon in his arms. He took out a piece of compressed biscuit and broke it in half. He gave one half to the other party and said at the same time, "If you are not sleepy, you can go on watch with me later in the night."
Hearing this, Lu Yao grinned and glanced at Wei Ran, who was wearing autumn clothes and long trousers. He first took the biscuits and put them on the kettle. Then he followed the former's example and took off his five-leaf camouflage, wringing out the water and rolling it up.
I wiped off the water stains on my body and put on my damp autumn clothes and trousers.
"Hey, Wei Ran, do you speak Vietnamese?" Lu Yao lay down and asked in a low voice, taking a bite of the biscuit.
"Yes, you want to learn?"
While Wei Ran was talking, he put the last bit of biscuit crumbs into his mouth, then took out two water bottles and poured into his stomach the little bit of sour plum juice and jasmine tea left in them.
"I won't learn that useless thing."
Lu Yao also drank all the water in his own kettle, and while tightening the lid, he explained in a low voice, "But I think Xiao Xifeng really wants to learn."
"Why is he learning that?" Wei Ran asked casually, but he had already closed his eyes.
"What else can I do, just argue with those white-eyed wolves on the radio?"
Lu Yao gloated and said, "You don't know, the radio station is so lively... Wei Ran? Wei Ran? Hey..."
Before he could finish his words, he found that Wei Ran was already snoring slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Yao wisely closed his mouth, took out the heavy M65 windbreaker from his bag, and after thinking about it for a while, he gently covered Wei Ran's body with it.
Feeling the extra covering on his body and the accompanying warmth, Wei Ran, who was snoring with his eyes closed, smiled, but did not refuse the kindness.
