Captain George looked at the marked location on the map attentively, and soon his eyes fell on the back of the No. 3 position.
The terrain on the back of Position 3 is not drawn.
Captain George asked: "What is the terrain on the back of position three?"
Captain George looked at the map carefully, looked at the real part on the back of Map No. 3, and frowned.
This part is obviously not drawn, but there is a blank space on the map.
This shows that this part of the terrain was either considered unimportant by their spies or it was because this part of the terrain was strictly guarded by the French, and they had no way to get close or learn about it.
"Let the soldier who made the map come in and ask, and we'll find out."
Captain George nodded, and soon under Captain Green's order, the soldier who made the map walked in.
Looking at Captain George and Captain Green, the soldier performed a standard military salute.
"Hello, sir!"
Captain Green glanced at him and asked: "Why is there terrain on the back of position three?"
The soldier stepped forward and looked at the map he drew. There was indeed a large piece missing in position No. 3.
"Sir, we cannot see the back of Position 3, so we have not drawn it. However, according to our inference, the back of Position 3 should be a cliff."
"cliff?"
Captain Green asked in confusion: "How did you conclude that this place is a cliff?"
"According to the terrain!" replied the soldier: "According to the way we now draw maps in Britain."
"Contour drawing method."
"The terrain of Position 3 is obviously higher. Based on the geographical trend and the direction of the mountains, it can be inferred that there is either a cliff on the back or a route up the mountain."
Upon hearing this analysis, Captain George's eyes flashed with light.
He looked at the guard and asked with a slightly trembling voice due to excitement: "How did you invent this contour drawing method?"
The British soldier said with a look of shame: "I didn't invent this, it was the French. We discovered this mapping method from topographic maps captured by the French."
A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of Captain George and Captain Green, as if they felt disappointed because this extremely effective method of drawing maps was not invented by them.
Captain George patted him on the shoulder and said calmly: "Your analysis is very good. When we discuss the battle plan in the future, your scouts must send someone to explain the map drawn."
"Yes!" The soldier's face was overjoyed.
This is equivalent to a disguised promotion of their military rank.
Captain Green looked at the blank space in position three and frowned slightly: "George, I think it would be better for our battle target to be in position two."
"We are familiar with the terrain of position No. 2, and its terrain is lower, making it easier for us to attack. Position No. 3 gives me the feeling that it is a trap for the enemy."
Captain George disagreed. He thought for a moment, looked at the blank space and said: "The French are so concerned about the back of position three. There must be something wrong. I think it is necessary to check it."
Captain Green nodded: "Okay."
"Let's do this. Tomorrow I will lead a team of people to take a detour from here to position three and check the terrain to see if I can find any clues."
"good!"
Position No. 3 is located in the Gold Mine Mountains and occupies a small hill. If you want to take a detour to the rear of Position No. 3, you must cross the gold mine vein and climb the mountain from the other end of the gold mine.
The mountains here are connected to each other, but they are also covered with dense jungle. Now that the weather is getting colder, the mountains are not peaceful.
