Chapter 0253: Defender Position
At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, everyone entered the ravine and carefully climbed up the hillside. In this way, under the sun, they walked to the northeast mountain beam for a while, and everyone felt that their mouths seemed to be thirsty again. Luckily, it doesn't take too much effort, and according to the map, they'll soon reach a frontier high ground.
When everyone entered the dense forest, they felt that the woods were very large, and there were many thorns in them, and the road was very difficult to walk. Fearing agents and landmines, everyone's speed slowed down.
When you reach a saddle, you will find the high ground on the border line where friendly troops are stationed. It looked like the hill was bare, with many tree stumps standing alone. As everyone knows, it was left behind after the branches were blown off by shells.
"Let's go! Let's talk about it in the past! "Make a move forward, and lead the way.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting in the woods in front of me: "Stop, who is it?" This sudden interruption startled everyone, and they quickly stopped, some lying on their stomachs, some squatting, all of them did not move.
Everyone was afraid of running into enemy agents, and it wouldn't be worth it to go near and fight them.
"Who? If we don't talk anymore, we shoot. Another shout came from the jungle ahead, followed by the sound of a bolt pulling.
"We're scouts, don't mess around!" Ge Xiaoming hurriedly said. I thought to myself, as soon as I heard them talk like this, I knew who they were, and the other party was really serious enough.
"Scout? Password! Ge Xiaoming said that it didn't count, and the other party asked again.
"Love the Chief!"
"Don't be afraid of sacrifice!"
By the way, someone from the woods across the saddle appeared and beckoned them to hurry along the left side of the ridge.
"Ho ho ho, fuck it, you guys are sneaky, I still think it's an agent? Why are there so many people? You're all here? ”
When they had passed, they saw a trench and several shelter pits in the woods. The soldier who shouted to them, with long hair and a dirty face, put away his gun and wanted to show them the way.
"Are they all here?" He asked again.
"Hmmm! It's all here. Are you taking us away? ”
The squad leader here appeared, came over and said, "Of course, mines are laid everywhere here. We're scared of the agent, please follow him. There are more than a dozen directional lightning strikes on the saddle ridge you came over just now, believe it or not? ”
Of course, this is their territory, and you have to listen to them.
"Long-legged mosquitoes, you go back and ask the hygienist for oxytetracycline, I'm afraid I'm going to have diarrhea, eat unclean things, and keep cooing."
"Yes! Monitor. What more do you want? ”
"Don't want anything else, go and come back quickly!"
"Yes! You scouts, follow me! Be careful not to take the wrong path, not a single step. ”
"Don't listen to this kid, bluff. Just follow him, and he will alert you where there are mines. ”
"Hehe, then I'll take them away. Squad leader, be careful, you also know that the enemy often makes small moves in the back. ”
"It's instigating, it's like a superior. If you are told to leave, you will leave, and the thing that you will come back after a lot of effort is also worth reminding you of thousands of times. You don't think I'm a three-year-old, I'm still a class leader, I know everything you know, and I know what you don't know. Let's go! ”
"Yes!"
When we arrived at the high ground where the friendly forces were stationed, we saw that the conditions on this position were very difficult, and there were bomb craters everywhere. There was a section of trench that had been destroyed and had not yet had time to repair it. It is estimated that there was a fierce offensive and defensive battle here last night, and on the slope to the south, there are several corpses left by the enemy lying in the grass that can still be seen.
Moving forward, through the binoculars, I saw that those people were all young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and their bodies were sound, and they should have all been shot indiscriminately.
The friendly soldiers on the position were all dressed in tattered uniforms, and all of them had long hair and beards, unlike when they had just come from the rear, and the edges were neatly trimmed. They wore no collar badges on their uniforms, all wore steel helmets, and many of them had dirty and bloodstained clothes.
The filter cloth wrapped around the heads of several wounded soldiers also turned black. It's the same as when they defended after attacking.
Seeing that some scouts came up, everyone took turns to greet them in the cave, thinking that they would bring something, such as cigarettes, letters, etc., but there was nothing, and I heard that they had just come here after the battle, so they had no regrets.
The person in charge of the highlands was a platoon commander, and there were more than twenty people in his hands. Yesterday, the deputy platoon and a reinforced deputy company commander went back to the rear with a few soldiers, and he was the only one in full command.
Standing in the trenches on the side of the high ground, there is a subtropical primeval jungle in front of you, full of towering ancient trees, but you can see cliffs and ravines, and thorns. This is the location of the lair of the ace agents mentioned in the intelligence, and it is extremely difficult to find out.
The platoon commander came out to give them instructions and said, "Everyone! We have been sealing off this jungle all along, and it is estimated that no less than 100,000 mines have been planted in it by both sides, and in some places they are stacked layer upon layer. ”
No one didn't believe this, and no one thought that the platoon commander was blowing nonsense.
I only heard him continue: "Except for the blockade mission, we rarely go there on weekdays. But the opposing agents liked the place very much, despite the fact that there were thunderbolts and tripwires like nets. You are in charge of patrolling there, setting up ambushes and captives, and so on, so you have to be very careful. ”
Everyone knows in their hearts that the platoon commander is talking about people, but it is also nonsense.
The platoon commander continued: "According to the observation that we have not been in for a few times, there should be more than a dozen of their infiltration routes in the jungle, and we will study the map later, and I will draw it down, in the field notes. The correspondent assigned to me from above has gone down, and I have to look for it. I guess it's the newcomers who want to use this route, and I really don't understand what they're thinking. And I'm just weird, every time we go inside with a lot of mines to block the road, I really don't know how the agents walk, they don't step on it once. ”
This, of course, is not something that their average infantryman can understand.
"We have a topographic map of this jungle, and we will talk about it later." Forward, there is an aerial map given to him by Mr. Gunhole, so he said.
Not everyone has this thing.
After taking a general look at the terrain, everyone returned to the cave. The cave is very strong, it should belong to the permanent fortification, and the platoon command post is inside.
When the platoon commander found the map, he opened it and said to the scouts at the entrance of the cave, "Don't stand at the entrance of the cave because it blocks the light. Please take a look, this is a map of the jungle terrain that we have blocked. ”
According to him, after entering, the choice of patrol route cannot be crossed, and after crossing, the route is not familiar and dare not go around. It's also not safe to walk this way, passing through a large ravine, and on the left side of the ravine there is an agent's infiltration route, which is easy to expose and ambush.
