Chapter 0264: Alert Outpost
We estimate that the enemy's lair is in this position. This group of enemies is fierce, and yesterday it was reported that they often infiltrated the defense areas of the fraternal troops, assassinated, sabotage, harassed, and kidnapped, and handed over several hands, but they all ran away.
"We acted fast enough this time to touch them directly under their noses and eyes. We had a couple of fights yesterday and some of them were killed or wounded. You didn't hear any gunshots? ”
"No! The jungle was so big that the sound of gunfire could not be heard far away. "Say to the captain at the head.
He was the deputy platoon commander who arrived at the position yesterday, and he returned from the rear and took everyone into the jungle without tire. The guide who led the six-person squad to advance was very happy and happy to see his deputy platoon commander.
In case of any special circumstances, he is not afraid that these scouts will leave him alone.
"After coming in, we fought the enemy several times, and we also estimate that the enemy's lair is in this location." As he walked forward, he pointed to the map that the captain had pointed to earlier.
He continued: "We estimate that the enemy's course of action is coming out of here, and then going here, from our position. We want to plug in right from here. ”
A bird chirped, and a rope was thrown down from the cliff here. Then several more were dropped.
After climbing up, the valley at the junction of the two mountains is very shallow, with vines and thick shrubs.
Fortunately, the people above cut a passage, and everyone bowed down and walked through the vines.
This speed was very slow, and everyone walked a hundred meters along the junction between the two mountains. The trees are getting thicker and thicker, blocking out the sunlight and feeling cool as you move forward.
Everyone walked carefully and no one spoke.
But this did not play a stealthy role, and the alarmed animals revealed everyone's whereabouts. This is the case in the jungle, where experienced junglers can get accurate information based on the animals' reactions.
The agents are certainly some of the best jungle warfare experts in the world, and if they had a post, they would know that a visitor was coming.
In front of you was a mountain blocking the way, and the scouts who opened the way were waiting for everyone on the left.
The valley on the left is deeper than where everyone had just passed, but the vines are gone, and the grass and shrubs are dense.
When the captain arrived, everyone looked at them and waited for instructions. The captain judged the terrain, looked around the joint, and with a wave of his hand, decided to go to the right.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the right, and a soldier emerged.
"Don't shoot, your own people!" The soldier took the gun, trotted to the captain's side, saluted, and then reported the enemy situation in a low voice: "Report to the captain, the enemy anti-aircraft machine gun position has been found fifty meters from the valley on the right." ”
"Looks right, the enemy's lair is nearby. That must have been their forward sentry position. How long has the person who went to investigate here, and why hasn't he come back yet? ”
"Report, it's been a while. I'm going to check it out? ”
"No, you don't! We don't go either way, we go to the mountains in the middle. If you walk through the valley, you can easily be pressed by the enemy. A small group of people followed me in front of me, and the others followed. ”
Not long after everyone walked along the mountain, there was a sound of running water in front of them.
It sounds like a big drop. Since it was in the jungle, it was impossible to see the terrain clearly, and I did not know how the flowing water was going and how the enemy's guard positions were deployed.
Everyone continued to walk down, constantly looking around and keeping an eye for movement.
Below was a stream of water that flowed to a cliff on the left, from which most of the noise came from.
It has been almost an hour since I climbed up the canyon in the back, although it was not a long-distance run, and I didn't consume much physical strength, but my mouth was a little thirsty, and I wanted to drink water when I heard the sound of running water.
The clouds are clear, the sun is always good, and the water is dazzling.
The first man had already gone down and was about to reach the edge of the stream, while the others controlled the surroundings on the ridge. Forward, standing on a boulder, leaning against a tree, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the bend above the stream to the right.
Except for the sound of running water, the surroundings are quiet and a little weird.
There must be an enemy sentry position here, and I don't know where it is set up. Now it is necessary to find out it, avoid it if it can be avoided, and attack it if it can't be avoided.
Anyway, people are strong and strong, and they don't care if they fight a tough battle. It's a one-and-done approach, and it's worth it.
But if they can dig holes at night, they have experience.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and I was very thirsty. The wind blew, the white clouds drifted overhead, and there was a smell in the woods that I couldn't tell what it was.
At the bend at the foot of the mountain on the right, a figure suddenly appeared, and in a flash entered the bush and disappeared. It's just that in the blink of an eye, I hesitated a little to move forward, and I didn't dare to judge whether I saw friend or foe.
The small high ground there is the only place in the vicinity where this section of the canyon can be effectively controlled, and it is likely that it will be chosen by the enemy as an outpost.
The trees on the hill had been almost cut down, a clear sign that one of the enemy's forward positions should have been set up there.
The captain judged the situation with him, and now took the lead, and after going down with two scouts, he trotted through the open field, quickly touched the river, and was about to wade across the river.
The captain was experienced, and he had previously aimed at a large rock at the edge of the stream, which could be used as a good cover in case of attack.
As soon as the three of them arrived, the captain went up to the big rock and was about to jump over a stream of stones when a shot suddenly rang out. Soldiers at enemy outposts spotted them, and machine-gun bullets rained down on the stream.
Some of the bullets hit the stream and splashed, and more hit the stones, and the stone chips flew everywhere.
The gunfire was so sudden that it interrupted the silence of the jungle for a moment. At this time, the ears of the advancing were not very clear, and it was impossible to judge where the enemy's firing position was.
He saw several warriors in invisibility cloaks swaying in the bushes and grass a little below him, swooping down on the mountainside a little to the right. True, it was on the right, and the mixed sound of enemy anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns came from the right.
There was only a small high ground on the right, and he had been watching it just now, so why didn't he know where it was in the first place?
Yes, it's there.
The figure he saw just now was the enemy's logistician, who had brought food to the Vietnamese troops on that position. When the guy was still on the other side of the mountain, he noticed the movement, and without making a sound, he quickly ran up the hill to report the situation.
The enemy didn't notice them, but this time it's a good thing, and the heavy firepower deployed on it opened fire together, blocking the Jianshui Canyon downward.
