Chapter 809: Midnight Reconnaissance (3)
The three of them climbed over the mountains in front of them and climbed to the top of a large mountain of more than 1,000 meters, and Abu and Huwa gasped to climb to the top, looked around, and sat down under a big tree.
While panting, the two raised their eyes to look at Wan Lin, who was observing the surroundings, and saw that he was breathing long and his face did not change, and they didn't understand in their hearts how could this young soldier not even have the air after running such a long mountain road?
Huwa gasped for a while, and when she saw Wan Lin bending over, she whispered: "There are people from the other side on the mountain in front, and they will shoot when they see a figure, and I was shot by them here." From the mountain, you can see the canyon where the big river enters. Bypassing this large mountain you can reach the cliffs on the side of the canyon."
Wan Lin pondered for a while after listening to Huwa's words, the opposite mountain is the commanding height of entering the canyon, and it is the first defensive position in the valley, and the other party will definitely send heavy troops to defend it. He heard Huwa say in the forest that the bottom of the mountain is the passage that leads the river into the valley, where heavy vehicles can walk, and the supplies in the valley are transported into the canyon through this road.
This road was built more than ten years ago, after Ao Kun bought off government officials to establish a foothold in the local area, and hired a large number of local mountain people to build a road, which can be connected to some important towns in the surrounding mountains, so as to gradually ensure the livelihood and material supply of thousands of people in the valley.
Wan Lin stared at the mountain in front of him with his eyes, and hesitated in his heart, did he take the risk of climbing to the top of the mountain in front to reconnoiter the enemy's defensive posture and the situation in the valley? But he looked at Abu and Huwa and shook his head, it was too dangerous here, once it was discovered by the enemy, he could escape quickly, but the two of them had no combat experience, so it would be dangerous at that time.
"Let's sneak around here from the side and take a look near the cliff on the side of the canyon," Wan Lin looked up at the tiger baby while gesturing a shape in his hand to go around.
Huwa nodded, took off the bamboo tube from her waist and drank two sips of water, got up and pulled Abu and ran down the side of the mountain. Wan Lin lowered his head and gestured with Xiaohua for a while, and then ran down.
The autumn night sky is unusually high, the stars twinkle in the distant sky, shining on the rolling hills, and the moon hangs obliquely in the sky with golden colors. In the distance, there was the faint sound of torrents crashing on the shore, and from time to time there were a few low cries of beasts and the terrible cries of nightingales in the mountains.
Under such good night vision conditions, Wan Lin did not dare to be careless, he asked Abu and Huwa to follow him, followed his movements and ran a few steps before hiding behind the trees or rocks in the mountains, carefully observing the surrounding situation, and then suddenly got up and ran quickly towards the next concealment, during which he saw the patrol walking unhurriedly in the mountains from time to time.
A few people ran and stopped on the mountain beam, and the speed was much fuller than when they came. The eyes of the three of them were shining in the dark night, and no one dared to be careless, Xiaohua had already run to the front.
When it took a few people more than two hours to bypass the big mountain in front of them from the halfway point of the mountain, a few people hid their bodies and looked behind them, and two small red dots lit up on the dark mountain top, flickering on the top of the mountain. Apparently the man standing guard could not bear the loneliness of the night and lit a cigarette, and a gust of mountain wind blew, which seemed to be mixed with the whispered words of the sentry on the top of the mountain.
Wan Lin turned around and waved at the two behind him, bent down and quickly ran towards the foothills on the side of the canyon. After turning to the foot of the mountain, they quickly got down behind a boulder and poked their heads out to look down at the cliff on the side of the canyon.
The mountain on the side of the canyon is extremely steep, and the mountain is full of strange rocks, and there are huge rocks everywhere, and there are crooked and extended cracks between the stones, and some trees and weeds stubbornly drill out of the cracks.
At the foot of the mountain and in the middle of the adjacent mountain, an undulating foothill is formed, and the foothills of hundreds of meters wide extend along the mountain, and the foothills are full of springs with water columns, or high and low mountain springs emerge from the cracks in the stones, and the springs form streams between the cracks in the stones; The surrounding soil is lush with vegetation.
The gushing water of the spring makes a pleasant sound when it falls on the surrounding stones, and the streams that gather around it extend outward like silver ribbons in the night, making you feel like you have entered a dream.
Wan Lin looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned, he didn't expect the night view here to be so wonderful. He shook his head and saw that the little flower had run out of the foothills, leaping up and running through the glittering streams, along the steep slopes to the cliffs above.
He raised his night vision binoculars and looked around for a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, he just wanted to get up and rushed to the foot of the mountain in front of him, when suddenly a few low voices came from the distance, and then he saw three black shadows standing up from the hillside in the distance.
Wan Lin dragged the tiger baby who was sticking out his head to observe outward from the stone, and he also squatted behind the stone, reached out to grab the right hand of the tiger baby and stretched out to the bowstring, and shook his head gently at him.
Wan Lin understood that the other party had also set up a guard on the hillside behind the cliff, and just now they may have spotted Xiaohua running on the hillside, so they stood up and observed what it was?
After a long while, the voice in front of me stopped, and Xiaohua also crept out from the side. Wan Lin squatted and gestured to Xiaohua, who stood up and shook her two front paws constantly, her eyes glowing with blue light. Abu and the two looked at each other in amazement, and their eyes showed an incredible look.
After a while, Wan Lin straightened up and lay on the boulder in contemplation. Just now, Xiaohua said that it ran around the hillside behind the cliff, and found that there were many caves on the steep hillside in front of it, and when it approached the cave, it saw that there were people standing guard with guns at the entrance of the cave, and it felt that there were many people in the cave through guò smell. Xiaohua had alarmed the sentinels during the reconnaissance just now, and they sent a few people out of the cave to observe the movement outside.
The corners of Wan Lin's mouth turned up, such a tight defense further verified the speculation that there were holes in the canyon that led directly to the outside of the mountain. Otherwise the enemy would not have placed such a tight defense on the hillside.
Wan Lin stared at the dark cliff opposite with his eyes, carefully analyzing the sudden situation. According to the original assumptions of Wan Lin and the others, the other party is very likely to secretly strengthen their guard in the cave that runs through the mountain, but Ao Kun will not deploy large-scale troops on the back slope, so wouldn't it be "there is no silver three hundred taels here", and directly let outsiders know his secret? Because this secret passage is the secret escape passage of the core people of the drug cartel and their core secret, it is impossible for more people to know about it.
But the results of Xiaohua's reconnaissance are obviously contrary to their assumptions! The other party has guards hidden in all the caves on the hillside, isn't Ao Kun worried that his secret will be known?
