Chapter 22: Suspicions

Before he slept until midnight, Ye Qiu was kicked awake by Corey, who was in charge of the night vigil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Someone!"

Gna and Roka seemed to be sleeping more alertly, and by the time Ye Qiu got out of the sleeping bag, they had already taken binoculars and were looking outside.

Ye Qiu has see-through glasses, and he also pretends to take a telescope to see, at night in the dense forest, it is completely dark outside, not a person who is familiar with the terrain and has to get used to discrediting the road, falling into such a forest, it is not even easy to distinguish the direction.

With an infrared telescope, all that can be seen is the outline after thermal imaging, and the clarity of observation is very problematic, but Ye Qiu doesn't need it, he just needs to borrow the telescope's visual distance.

On the way they entered the cottage, there were vaguely about seventy or eighty people who took advantage of the night to touch over, only Ye Qiu could clearly see their dress, all Russian-style equipment, the snipers and RPG shooters mixed in the team were clearly distinguishable, in the middle of the team, this time there was a soldier with a radio on his back, and walking in the back position, there were two grenadier shooters.

"It's the enemy!"

Ye Qiu's exclamation made Luo Ka a little disdainful, all they saw was a shadow, and they couldn't even tell the number, how could you be sure that it was the enemy army?

Suspicion is suspicion, but someone approached, and the people of the Elk Mercenary Regiment did not have the slightest sense of waiting, and Gna shouted:

"Inform the villagers to evacuate immediately! Be careful not to make a noise! ā€

There was no electricity in the cottage, and there was not even the slightest light at this time, so Roka and Corey went down to inform the villagers, and Ye Qiu and Gna quickly sorted out their equipment.

It was not wise to engage such a well-armed enemy, who knows if they were coming towards the stockade or passing by.

The villagers were apparently accustomed to such overnight transfers, without the slightest delay, and the poultry kept next to them did not bother to clean up, unlike many people who were forced to evacuate and flee for their lives, almost emptying their homes.

Seeing the villagers flee in the direction of the border, Ye Qiu and the others observed from a distance of a kilometer from the village, it was still early, with the marching speed of these Burmese mushroom teams who had been fighting in the dense forest all year round, it would not be surprising even if they arrived in Kokang before dawn.

The government soldiers quietly approached the cottage, the commander gave a low order, and the soldiers touched the cottage in a semi-encircled manner, and at a distance of several tens of meters from the cottage, the commander ordered to stop advancing.

Through the faint starlight, the outline of the building can be faintly seen in the dark night, and the grenadiers set up the cannon, which is a 60 mm grenadier canister, or 60 guns for short, which is the preferred support weapon for battlefields where it is inconvenient to carry heavy weapons in the mountains and jungles.

"Boom!" The impact of the shell falling to the bottom of the barrel is clearly discernible, "Boom! A violent explosion resounded through the mountains, but there was no movement in the empty house, but the birds in captivity next to it screamed.

"Boom!" A series of bombs were dropped, and the cottage house was razed to the ground in an instant, the dried bamboo was ignited by the explosion, and the whole village was quickly enveloped in flames.

Commanders and soldiers kept a close eye on the cottage, which was now open and dark, and any sign of activity could provoke a burst of intense gunfire.

After half an hour, the fire gradually went out.

"Withdraw!" As soon as the commander gave the order, the government soldiers returned to the path at the entrance of the village, looked at the cottage again, and then retreated without looking back.

"Shouldn't they, they're running so far just to burn a cottage?" The government soldiers returned along the way they came, which made Ye Qiu have no clue.

"Maybe, I mean maybe, there's a road to Kokang on the other side of the col, who knows, damn Burmese, damn the forest." Gna muttered in reply.

"Let's go! Let's keep up and see! "With see-through glasses, it's not too simple to hang behind this group of government soldiers and not be noticed.

Gna stood up noncommittally and slowly, and even Corey shrugged:

"Let the great Monegasque soldiers put an end to this."

He is nicknamed the hunter, there is really nothing to say about tracking and lurking in the dense forest, yesterday's injury was purely an accident, if there is no alliance soldier, it is impossible to let him not notice the enemy behind him, sometimes, the number of people is not necessarily an advantage, but it will delay the battle because of subconscious prevarication.

Since he woke up, Corey is like a different person, from the original drunken as silent as life, to the current nothing to talk about and not drink, in fact, this injury Corey really didn't pay attention to, but his nature is like this, the silence of the first two days is just a disguise when he faces the living, Gna and Rotka naturally understand his characteristics very well.

The team configuration of the government soldiers this time was strong, they were fierce when they came, and they were extremely fast like the ebb tide when they left, wanting to catch up with them in the dark environment, Ye Qiu felt a lot of pressure, but the people of the elk didn't seem to care.

Ye Qiu didn't have a suitable gun to use, and when he retreated that day, he picked up an SVD from the government army and held it in his hand, in fact, he was more suitable to use Barrett than Gna, the caliber of the SVD was only 7.62, and shooting the enemy across the tree was far less comfortable than Barrett's.

The Barrett sniper bullets of the two were concentrated on Gna alone, Ye Qiu and Roka used 7.62 mm bullets, in this Burmese battlefield full of Russian-style weapons, it can be said that there is an endless supply of ammunition, the only thing to worry about is Corey, his M1A rifle caliber is 5.56 mm, but Corey's main function is to give early warning, and it is enough to have a grenade to suppress when encountering the enemy.

He didn't have many bullets on his back, but he carried a lot of grenades and ammunition.

Sure enough, shortly after exiting the cottage, the government soldiers turned onto another mountain road and walked a full three kilometers in a southwesterly direction before turning due west.

Ye Qiu followed more and more wondering, judging from the location of the mobile phone, in order to burn a small cottage, the government soldiers deliberately turned a corner when they were marching, and this time they folded, and there were about seven kilometers to go out!

Is it really normal?

A broken cottage is worth making such a long detour for the soldiers of this full company and a half? It's not even a company and a half, according to the poor calculation of the government army in northern Burma, this is a battalion, a hard-nosed combat battalion!

At dawn, the team finally approached the destination, Ye Qiu felt that he had exhausted all his physical strength two hours ago, his backpack was now lying on Corey's back, which made Cory look more like a huge snail from afar, the backpack that was originally close to 60 kilograms, plus Ye Qiu's more than ten kilograms, this sturdy black man, currently in a state of rapid marching, the weight of the luggage alone is 150 catties! It is equivalent to carrying Ye Qiu on the march.
