Chapter 64: Guanyin (1)
064 Chapter 64 Dripping Guanyin (1)
Many common plants are actually poisonous, and most people usually ignore them and have nothing to do with them. But if you want to go into the mountains and pass through the deep mountains and dense forests, an inconspicuous plant will often kill you. Therefore, even Yang Xue, who grew up in the mountains, had to be careful when she led a team of soldiers to communicate with each other.
The ravine she is now traveling in is called Dishui Gou, 2 miles south of the main position of the village, and is named after a green large-leaved plant called Dishui Guanyin, which resembles taro. Dripping Guanyin, also known as Guangdong wolf poison, grows in the fields and mountain sides in the south, and is very common. It grows in a place where the water source is abundant, and the water droplets seep from the leaves, and will drip down little by little, so it is also called the dripping Guanyin. There is also a cluster of small white flowers in the middle, so there are also ornamental plants that are planted in the garden.
However, the water it drips is poisonous, and the flowers it blooms are also poisonous, and many people don't know about it. When she was a child, she once encountered rain in the wild, and saw the huge leaves of Guanyin, like an open umbrella, folded one and held it above her head to keep out the rain. The water in the leaf stalk flowed to the little hand, and the little hand was itchy, and he hurriedly grabbed it with his other hand, and the other hand also itched. The rain that flows from the leaves drips onto the body, and then the whole body is itchy and unbearable, red, swollen and painful. In the end, she lay down at home for three days before she could get out of bed. So now when she saw the dripping Guanyin full of ravines, she felt a little furious in her heart, she didn't dare to enter the dripping ditch rashly, and chose a suitable terrain to arrange the team to ambush.
Just now, Wang Xiaoyu's drone found that a group of ZF Army soldiers was about to make a detour to attack here, so Yang Xue led the team to prepare to ambush this group of soldiers. Since there were no roads in the dense mountains and forests, the soldiers had to climb up the ditch. The soldiers came back to report that the ZF soldiers had reached the small col in front, and there were more than 80 people, who were climbing up the ditch, less than 500 meters away from here, but they were blocked by the col and could not be seen. Yang Xue climbed a chestnut tree next to her, and in the binoculars, she saw dozens of Burmese soldiers with big round hats looming in the woods. She carefully observed for a while, and saw at least two machine guns, a broken gun, and many people carrying bazookas, and couldn't help but be a little worried, the more than 20 militiamen she brought were all light weapons, and it was not easy to walk through the dense forest, and the only machine gun was still behind and did not have time to rush over. If you face the battle, you won't lose in firepower.
I once heard people say that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds. The opponent is four times more numerous, and the firepower is still superior, and the combat power is at least five times that of his own group, right? However, she thought of "but" again for no reason, but almost every battle was dominated by the wolf army, why could the tribal forces always win more with less? Morale, yes, is morale, and the soldiers armed by the tribe have a heroic spirit of defending their homes and defending their country and treating death as home. Especially her hometown Yangjiazhai, which is the remnant of a veteran of the previous dynasty, has been fighting with other tribes all the year round, and only then has she fought a territory, and all the people are soldiers, and her combat effectiveness is even more fierce. Most of the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Army are reluctant to fight a civil war, as long as they don't fight to their hometowns, they often seem to lack a soul when they fight, and they are basically unwilling to fight hard until they are forced to do so. Thinking about this section, I can't help but be arrogant, hum, when our ancestors only had more than 200 people, they were not exterminated, and now there are more than 3,000 people in the village, but I am afraid that you can't do it?
She slipped down from the tree and instructed the correspondent to tell the two coordinates of the artillery position behind, one was the mouth of the small col 400 meters away, and the other was the small tidal flat in the ditch more than 200 meters away. The artillery in the village is two PP87 82 mm caliber mortars, old antiques purchased more than 20 years ago, and it is still unknown how many shells will be fired. But Yang Xue is not interested in its lethality, but its frightening function.
Their current position was behind a boulder more than a foot long under a pine tree, and a single machine gun could block the entire valley, making it a good sniper position. After thinking for a while, Yang Xue waved her hand and said, "Let's go, let's retreat to the mountain beam." ”
Yang Dali, the militia squad leader next to him, asked puzzledly: "Miss, there are huge rocks here as cover, and the condescending position can just block the entire valley, why do you have to retreat?" ”
Yang Xue said: "We can see that this position is good, and the enemy can also see that this place will become their key reconnaissance target, and there will be no way to fight this ambush."
Yang Dali thought about it, and couldn't help but secretly admire Miss, but he thought of another thing, and said: "Retreat to the mountain beam, 300 meters away from the valley, the mountain is rugged, there will be many shooting dead ends, which is not conducive to our total annihilation of the enemy."
Yang Xue said: "Although it is not conducive to the total annihilation of the enemy, our casualties will be much smaller, and the lives of ten soldiers of the Wild Wolf Army will not be exchanged for the life of one of our brothers in Yangjiazhai."
Most of the soldiers next to her were grateful to Miss Yang for showing compassion for the lives of the soldiers, and some people muttered in their hearts: "When is it, don't forget to buy people's hearts." Yang Xue is not bringing the militia from her hometown Yangjiazhai now, but the village militia handed over to her by the old chief, although the captain was brought by Yangjiazhai, but for the soldiers, she is still an outsider and needs to buy people's hearts.
Yang Xue said again: "Of course, reducing casualties is only one reason, the main reason is that our purpose is to retreat from the enemy, not to annihilate the enemy. ”
Yang Dali said angrily: "These wolf soldiers kill one less one, are you still polite to them?" ”
Yang Xue said: "My dad always said that less killing is less hatred, and more peace can be exchanged for our village, right?" Peace talks are always a matter of time. ”
Yang Dali stopped talking and walked forward silently. Soldiers are used to it, for so many years, they have always stopped fighting, stopped fighting, and were born in war-torn areas, this is their fate.
At the foot of the mountain more than 500 meters in front of Yang Xue's ambush circle, there is a group of wild wolf army soldiers, two of which are walking more than 100 meters in front, walking in the dense forest, no one can be seen from dozens of meters away, the battle almost takes place within 100 meters, and a little further is blocked by trees, even the figure can not be seen, or encounters an open field, where a large-scale battle takes place.
The stream in the ravine is not wide, the narrow place of the riverbed is only two or three meters, and the width is only five or six meters, the water is very shallow, most places can advance by stepping on the rocks at the water's edge, because it is all the way up, it is very difficult, the two sharp soldiers who walk in front have to reconnoiter all the way, be careful of suspicious places, worry that a shot will come out at any time without knowing where, and it will kill you, and people are tired and tired.
The young soldier climbed for a long time, smoking in his throat, the water in the kettle had long been drunk, looking at the clear stream, he couldn't help but drink it, and was knocked off by the older soldier, and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?" Both sides of this creek are covered with dripping Guanyin, and the water in this stream is poisonous and cannot be drunk! After saying that, he untied his water bottle from his waist and handed it to him.
The young soldier took the kettle, took a sip of it, and said, "Thank you, but you seem to be too suspicious, this stream is flowing living water, and small fish and shrimp can be seen everywhere, how can it be poisonous?" ”
The elder soldier said: "Don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you, be careful, it's always good" While speaking, they have already walked through a small mountain mouth, in front of them is a slightly open valley, the boundary of the creek is even more than 100 meters is covered with dripping Guanyin's tidal flat, the black pressure is a piece of Qi people high, beyond this tidal flat, is a small pond, there are several not high waterfalls from the rock wall by the pond gush out. It seems that some waterfalls are the source of this creek. Bypass the pond and climb up more than 200 meters to reach the mountain beam.
Seeing that the terrain in front of them was relatively open, the older soldiers made a gesture to stop advancing, and the two of them crouched behind the stones, waiting for the company commander to come up.
The company commander's surname is Zhang, and after he came up, he carefully observed the front with a telescope for a while, and said: "The terrain ahead is relatively open, if the other party has an ambush on the mountain, it will be very dangerous. After saying that, the company commander began to lay out mortar positions. Two more machine guns were pulled up, and two improvised machine gun fortifications were built using rocks as bunkers. Then the snipers were arranged, occupying several advantageous positions.
Everything was arranged, Company Commander Zhang waved his hand, and the older soldiers took the lead in jumping out of the bunker, taking advantage of the cover of the tall dripping Guanyin plant by the stream, and the cat searched and moved forward. The young spike cautiously climbed out of cover and followed him.
After traveling seventy or eighty meters in fear, and did not find the situation, the older soldiers noticed that there was a tall pine tree on the small high ground on the side of the mountain more than 100 meters ahead, and there was a stone more than 2 zhang wide lying horizontally under the pine tree, and a natural trench was formed behind it, and the enemy was ambushed there, and this valley was a dead land. He hurriedly flashed to the side, got into the dripping Guanyin bush by the stream, and carefully observed it with a telescope under the cover of the leaves. I saw that the stone was bare, and it didn't look like a person. Looking slowly up the pine trunk, a squirrel was smugly nibbling on a pine cone in the branch. Reassured, he quickly crossed the open field and occupied the small high ground under the pine trees, followed by the young spearhead.
The two spearheads looked back and saw that the entire valley was under their control, and they couldn't help but feel relieved. The young soldier was about to gesture to the company commander to come over, but the older soldier grabbed him, pointed to the top of the hill and said, "Look, what is that?" ”
The younger soldier looked up at the top of the mountain, and in the sky, a black dot flew by, and said, "It's a bird, right?" ”
The elder soldier said, "The guns are roaring in front of you, even the eagles are frightened and run away, what bird is so bold?" After speaking, he picked up the telescope and observed, the small black dot became clear, and a propeller on the top of it was whirring and happy, with a dragonfly-like tail, very similar to the helicopter in the army, but it was only the size of an old hen, what could it do?
He couldn't figure it out, so he said to the young soldier, "It's a very small helicopter, the size of an old hen, like a model airplane for the students." It's so small, you can't carry guns, it's not dangerous for us. ”
The young spearhead said; "I think it's weird, knowing that there is a war here, who will come to play model airplanes?"
The older soldier said, "So, I need you to go to the top of the mountain to see what it is doing here?" It's not far from the mountain beam, it's just over 200 meters, so let's climb up the mountain beam and call the company commander again." The young soldier nodded, and just after a few steps, he heard the older soldier say, "You go up first, my neck is itchy, and I don't have to worry about scratching around, go down to the stream to wash it, and then go up again in a while." With that, he ran to the creek alone.
