Chapter 593 of the Notes of a War Photographer: Waiting until dawn for a big fish, Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli covered the embers in the stove with soil, took useful weapons, and each carried two bags full of hawthorn leaves.
Holding an American kettle for tea, he fumbled towards the ambush site.
When the two people, traveling lightly and simply, climbed over a mountain ridge again, Wei Ran once again saw the winding road at the foot of another mountain on the opposite side.
Compared with the place where I caught my tongue before, this is indeed a good location for an ambush. Apart from anything else, the straight-line distance between their hiding place and the road is only about two hundred meters, and there is a road less than ten meters in between.
Although the depth of the natural flood discharge ditch is less than 1.5 meters wide, as long as a car accidentally drives into it, there is no way it can be driven back onto the road.
At the same time, on the road facing their hiding place, the tricky elbow bend will inevitably cause the cars passing here to slow down, and no matter which direction they drive from, they must point their cabs in the direction of their hiding place.
Just fine.
This is undoubtedly a huge advantage. At least Weiran does not have to worry about driving too fast and not being able to hit the enemies in the car.
“This is it”
Zhao Shengli squatted behind a pine tree, held up a telescope and observed while whispering, "As long as the American planes don't come, we don't have to worry. I'll go to the top of the mountain between my elbows later, and the Americans will
After your car arrives, if you can hit me, I will shake you with my mirror. If you can't hit me, I won't send the signal."
"Are you going to the other side?" Wei Ran frowned, he had never said this before.
“The terrain there is high enough”
Zhao Shengli explained matter-of-factly, "Besides, it goes up to twelve or thirteen meters straight up there. Even if the Americans find me, they won't be able to climb up."
"It's just a stone mountain, and there's not even a shelter on it." Wei Ran reminded seriously, "And the Americans can't get up there, but their grenades can get up there."
"Isn't there still you?"
Zhao Shengli really trusted Wei Ran, "Don't worry, I won't shoot unless necessary, and I will take away all the grenades. If they can throw them up, why can't I throw them down?"
"What if the plane comes?" Wei Ran asked sharply.
"How come you, gay, are such a mother-in-law?"
Zhao Shengli pretended to be impatient and replied, "Shouldn't I run when the plane comes? Although the stone mountain is not covered, but if you run a hundred or ten meters back, wouldn't it be a forest? Comrade Wei Ran, what on earth are you doing?
Do you want to fight or not? If you don’t want to fight, I will do it myself.”
"I..."
Wei Ran opened his mouth, but finally nodded, "If something unexpected happens, run away immediately. Let's gather at the place where we rested last night. I will cover you."
"Do you know the road?" Zhao Shengli asked.
"I'm not blind, why are you such a mother-in-law?" Wei Ran returned the other party's words.
"Then it's settled"
Zhao Shengli said as he reached into his bag, took out a grenade and handed it to Wei Ran, "Comrade Wei Ran, in case you can't escape... I'll leave this one for you as a glory bomb."
"Don't worry, I won't be a prisoner." Wei Ran waved his hand and did not take the grenade offered by the other party. He just patted the seized pistol on his waist.
"gone"
Zhao Shengli simply collected the unsent grenades, picked up his carbine and backpack, and ran half-way down the mountain in the rising sun.
It wasn't until the opponent's back was completely blocked by vegetation that Wei Ran sighed, pulled out the engineer shovel fixed to his backpack, and started digging a bunker behind a thick pine tree. He cleared a flat position where he could lie down, and then
I collected some dead branches and leaves from the surroundings and spread them on it, then I got down with the gun and tried it.
It wasn't until he was sure that the shooting position was okay that he sat up again, took out the still warm kettle, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of hawthorn leaf tea with a slightly bitter and sour taste, and then took out the metal book and fingertips.
The watch with the north needle fixed together was placed aside, and finally he took out the telescope and looked at the mountaintop opposite that was sandwiched by the crook of his elbow.
One hour and seven minutes later, Zhao Shengli, who had made a long way around, lay on his stomach on the top of the rocky mountain that Wei Ran would glance at from time to time.
When he raised the telescope and looked at Wei Ran, the latter immediately waved, and Zhao Shengli immediately waved in response.
After a simple communication, Wei Ran put the telescope aside and leaned against the trunk of the pine tree with his gun again, waiting for the other party to send him a signal.
It wasn't until about 8:40 in the morning that a fleeting reflection finally appeared on the top of Stone Mountain.
Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately raised his telescope and looked over. Then he saw Zhao Shengli looking at him with the telescope in one hand, and pointing in the direction of the US military position with the other hand, and then extended his fingers to make a gesture.
1.
Upon seeing this, Wei Ran immediately raised his thumb. It wasn't until the latter also raised his thumb that he put down his binoculars and hid in the bunker with his rifle.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, a truck coming from the rear of the US military appeared in Weiran's field of vision.
He took out the telescope in the metal book and looked at it. A smile appeared on his face. There were two people sitting in the cab of the truck, one of whom seemed to be holding a weapon in his arms.
Putting away the telescope, Wei Ran pinched a piece of wet soil and rubbed his fingers vigorously, then wiped it on his pants and then gently placed it on the trigger.
After a while, the ten-wheel truck reached the elbow bend, and its speed slowed down slightly due to the road conditions.
"boom!"
Along with a clear gunshot, a hole appeared in the cab glass of the leading truck, and the driver, who was concentrating on steering the wheel, only felt a sharp pain in his chest.
"boom!"
The second gunshot followed soon after, passing through the door glass, accurately and fortunately hitting the neck of the soldier in the passenger seat, and then penetrated into the driver's neck after shattering his larynx.
Before the second bullet shell could be dropped, Wei Ran had already moved the muzzle to the rear of the vehicle. A moment later, a soldier carrying a rifle opened the canvas curtain at the rear of the vehicle and was about to jump down.
However, before he hit the ground, Wei Ran's third bullet had already hit his left rib.
When the soldier who was shot fell to the gravel road like a dog chewing shit, the truck that lost control also turned its front into a ravine on the roadside.
Before its rear wheels could even leave the road, and before the fourth bullet was fired by Weifan, American soldiers jumped out of the bed of this truck one after another like dumplings!
"It's over! We've just stung a hornet's nest!"
Wei Ran gritted his teeth, aimed at a soldier carrying a Browning machine gun, and decisively pulled the trigger.
After the crisp gunfire, a cloud of blood mist appeared from the soldier's back that could only be seen by those around him, and the machine gun in his hand also fell out.
Ignoring the soldiers lying down around him and shooting at him, Wei Ran aimed at the machine gun and fired the fifth bullet decisively, knocking down a soldier who was about to pick it up.
It was at this moment that the truck also overturned into the ravine, but the soldiers who had jumped out also lay on the gravel road and started shooting wildly at the Weiran.
At this critical moment, a hand stretched out from the top of the stone mountain more than ten meters high behind them.
Not only has the safety pin been removed from the American grenade held in this hand, but the safety tab has also popped open.
"One thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three"
Zhao Shengli recited three numbers in his mind before decisively letting go of his hand, letting the grenade fall freely and pulling his hand back.
"boom!"
Before the sound of the grenade hitting the sandy ground reached the ears of the American soldiers who were no more than ten meters away from it, the shrapnel packed with huge energy exploded instantly, killing the soldiers who were still firing at the guards.
All are included within the killing range.
At the same time as this explosion sounded, Zhao Shengli had already placed the muzzle of his carbine on the edge of the stone mountain, pointed it at the back bucket of the truck that had rolled over in the ravine, and repeatedly pulled the trigger, firing the few remaining weapons inside.
A beaten American soldier was sent home.
The battle ended in less than two minutes. Zhao Shengli raised his binoculars towards Wei Ran, and Wei Ran also raised his binoculars in no particular order.
In the sight of both parties, Zhao Shengli hooked his hand towards Wei Ran. Upon seeing this, Wei Ran, who had already guessed the situation, immediately stood up, pulled out his pistol and ran over.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran ran to the side of the road as fast as he could and asked.
Zhao Shengli, who was lying on the top of the stone mountain, put his head around and said, "Help me pick up a few grenades and throw them up. Also, see if there is anything good in the cargo compartment of that truck."
"You stare around"
Wei Ran said hello, rummaged through the corpses as quickly as possible, collected a dozen grenades, and threw them one by one to Zhao Shengli on the stone mountain.
Waving his arm, Weiran took a gun and searched in the truck. Unfortunately, except for boxes of Coke and various foods, there was nothing useful in it.
He carefully stuffed a few unbroken bottles of Coke into his bag, and then took off a leather strap watch from a corpse's wrist. Only then did Wei Ran carry an additional carbine and a few more
After holding the ammunition pack, Sayazi ran back to the shooting position.
"You can't refuse a watch on a dead person, right?"
Wei Ran weighed the watch in his hand and secretly wondered what Zhao Shengli would say when he gave the watch to him.
In Wei Ran's secret expectation, a flash of light soon appeared on the hilltop opposite. When he raised his telescope, he found that Zhao Shengli pointed in the direction of the US military position, and then made a scissor hand gesture.
Seeing this, Wei Ran gave a thumbs up and immediately got ready to shoot.
However, he did not expect that after a moment of waiting, what drove over from the direction of the US military position was an open-top jeep! And behind this jeep, there was also a truck with a machine gun on the roof of the cab.
.
"Wait until the big fish comes..."
Wei Ran licked his lips that still smelled of hawthorn leaf tea. When the jeep drove to the corner of the road, he immediately aimed at the driver of the jeep and pulled the trigger!
