Chapter 1643: Taking advantage of the chaos to escape
After listening to his analysis, Ishihara and the others both raised their binoculars and looked into the distance. At this time, the gunfire was even more intense, and the deafening sound of gunfire made the entire snow-capped mountain tremble, and the two looked at each other suspiciously, as if they did not believe that such a fierce battle would stop in a short time.
Kiyono glanced at the expressions of the two men and knew that the two did not trust their judgment. With a sneer on his lips, he sat down behind the rock, leaning his back against the rock with his assault rifle in his arms and closing his eyes.
The fierce sound of gunfire echoed in the dark mountains, and Ishihara and the two sat silently behind the rocks, listening to the sounds outside with their eyes closed with trepidation, and they did not believe that such a fierce battle would stop in a short time.
From the analysis of what the two have seen and heard so far, the government army has dispatched a large number of troops, including armored vehicles, and it seems that they want to carry out a sweep out of these government forces.
Two hours later, Kiyono suddenly stood up from behind the pitch-black rocks, and Ishihara and Ishihara on the side also quickly stood up, and all three raised their binoculars to observe the battle outward.
The gunfire in the mountains had thinned out, and the situation was just as Kiyono had originally estimated, and the government forces were retreating. Ishihara and the others looked at the mountains in surprise, knowing in their hearts that they were finally saved this time! As long as the fierce battle in front is over, the three of them can take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the city.
Ishihara put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his face to look at Kiyono and asked admiringly, "Squad leader, how do you know that the government army will retreat soon?" ”
Kiyono smiled proudly and said in a low voice: "You didn't notice just now that after the large-scale artillery bombardment, the government army sent mainly mechanized troops such as tanks and armored vehicles, and did not invest much infantry. ”
"Judging from this, the government army saw a large number of armed men suddenly appear in the mountainous area near the city, thinking that they were going to organize an attack on the city after dawn, so they launched a surprise attack with the purpose of disrupting the opponent's offensive plan and using the targets indicated by the night bonfire to kill and injure the opponent's living forces."
While the two were talking, another mountain pass team member next to them suddenly said: "Look, the troops in the mountains who encircled and suppressed us are retreating on a large scale!" ”
Kiyono and the others hurriedly raised their binoculars and looked at the mountains. Sure enough, in the midst of a burst of dog barking, a large number of armed men quickly burrowed into the depths of the mountain. It didn't take long for a short time to see a single figure on the battlefield that was still burning with fire and gunsmoke, Kiyono was overjoyed, and ordered in a low voice: "Hey, hey, this group of people must have suffered heavy losses in the large-scale artillery raids of the government forces and the sudden attacks of armored vehicles, and now they can't take care of us." Let's go, hurry up and move in the direction of the city, and choose the opportunity to enter the city! ”
The trio then drilled out of the cracks in the rocks hundreds of meters high, quickly rushed down the steep slopes, bent over the undulating mountains and waved their snow poles vigorously, and quickly chased in the direction of the retreating government troops.
Kiyono trio glides extremely fast through the mountains. At this time, several people had already analyzed the shape of the battlefield that was now on the battlefield. The rebels, who had been setting up a blockade in the mountains to intercept them, were suddenly attacked by the government forces without warning, and the fierce group shelling and ferocious fire from armored vehicles caught them off guard and lost at least hundreds of soldiers in a sudden situation.
At this time, they must have been afraid that the government army would strike while the iron was hot and dispatch a large-scale ground force to attack in an all-out way, so when the government army's offensive weakened, they hurriedly retreated to the mountains at night. Positional warfare is not what the rebels are good at, and they are certainly far inferior to the government forces in terms of equipment and soldiers.
Therefore, when they did not understand the operational intentions of the government army, they could only retreat quickly under the cover of night to avoid the government army dispatching a large force to encircle and suppress it.
Kiyono and the three of them glided quickly through the mountains without any scruples. They all knew in their hearts that the edge of the city would be full of government camps and checkpoints, and the three of them would be discovered by the government army if they were not careful, and the three of them suddenly appeared on the edge of the city late at night, armed with weapons, and once discovered, they faced the danger of being arrested and imprisoned or beheaded.
Therefore, the best way for them to infiltrate the city is to catch up with the retreating government forces as much as possible, so that they can get out of the mountains and approach the city.
In the thick of the night, the snow in the mountains was full of deep pits blown out by shells, and the corpses that had been shattered by the shells lay on the surrounding snow, and the surrounding snow showed dark marks, which must have been stains of bright red blood.
The hillside was littered with branches of trees that had been blown off by shells, and clusters of burning sparks were scattered on the hillside.
The three of them were gliding quickly, their eyes looking at the devastated scene on the battlefield, and they were all a little shocked in their hearts. These local armed forces obviously lack experience in large-scale operations, and in such undulating and complex mountains, they can completely judge the approximate impact point of the shells based on the whistling sound of the shells, and find hidden places such as rocks and hollows around, but they did not expect to be blown to pieces here.
As several people slid forward at a rapid pace, they heard the roar of motor vehicles almost simultaneously. Kiyono raised his hand and motioned to the two people around Ishihara to slow down, his eyes quickly swept over the surrounding terrain, and then he waved his snow pole and rushed towards a small hill tens of meters high on the side, Kiyono rushed to the top of the mountain, immediately lay down on the snow on the top of the mountain, raised the telescope and looked forward. Under the dim starlight, black vehicles were driving forward among the undulating mountains in the distance, and black smoke from exhaust pipes filled the mountains.
Qingye observed for a while, and said secretly in his heart: I said how could so many local armed forces be killed, they came out to search for us this time, they definitely didn't carry heavy weapons, and this place is a hilly area, and the mountains are undulating, which is very suitable for these tracked armored vehicles to attack.
As far as these local armed forces are concerned, there is no hidden place around them at all, and naturally they are powerless to fight back in the face of the powerful firepower of the government armored forces. No wonder these rebels left so many corpses on the battlefield, and now they have fled like rabbits into the depths of the mountains!
He watched quietly for a moment, quickly figuring out how to get out in his mind. At this time, Ishihara and the two also ran up from behind quietly.
Ishihara lay beside Kiyono, raised his sniper rifle and observed through the scope for a while, turned his head to look at Kiyono, and asked in a low voice with some frustration: "There are government armored vehicles everywhere, it is difficult for us to blend into their ranks, how can we get out?" ”
