Chapter 64: Pocket Watch

The river water is very cold, although it is already summer at this time, but we lurking in the water are still shivering from the cold, if the warriors with a slightly worse physique will really not be able to stand it. But as a soldier of the Cold Gun Army, we have had many experiences of lurking in the ice and snow without moving, so it is not so difficult to overcome at this time.

At first, we didn't dare to make too many moves, because at this time we had not yet stepped out of the encirclement of the puppet army, and there were sentries and patrols of the puppet army everywhere on both sides, and we were worried that the sound of strokes brought by too big movements would attract their attention, and now we are also swimming upstream, which makes our progress very slow.

Suddenly, I felt a strange 'wave' in the river, and I hurriedly pulled the rope in my hand twice.

This is the code that we have set out before we set off, two times is to stop moving forward if there is a situation, and one is to continue to move forward......,... The warriors quickly stopped and crouched.

"The water around us changed more and more, and we couldn't help but sway with the current, followed by the sound of motors, and bright lights swaying back and forth above our heads.

This is the puppet army used for patrolling, so I was worried...... What if the speedboat passed by us, its propeller swept away the hose in our mouths?

However, the position we are in now is far from the middle of the river, and for the speedboat, it is pointless to drive close to the shore, and it is easy to run into the rocks, so my worry quickly proved to be unnecessary. After a while, the speedboat left a gust of water and faded away.

I breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the rope to signal the warriors to move on.

We finally passed through the encirclement of the puppet army without danger, and the closest to the puppet army when we passed through the crossing, and we could even see the shadow of the puppet army sentry under the searchlight. What made us feel the most thrilling and 'exciting' was that after turning a corner along the river, there were several puppet soldiers who were bathing in the river in the dark, swimming past us......

I don't know if it's their luck or ours. If they do find out about us, our plan will fail, but they will definitely be the first to die.

It was much easier to get out of the encirclement of the puppet army, maybe the puppet army thought that it was impossible for us to break out of their encirclement silently, so there was no puppet army guard outside the encirclement" This made us safely surface and swim towards the 522.1 heights, until we were about to approach the target, only because we were afraid that we would be discovered by the puppet army sentries and re-dived into the water.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the puppet army, we crossed the 522.1 high ground for one kilometer, and finally landed on the side of the road after more than half an hour.

I counted the number of people, no more, no less, exactly twelve, and none of them were left behind.

Seeing that Yang Zhenshan and the others were buttoning neatly one by one, I couldn't help waving my hand at them, pointed to my own discipline buckle and whispered: "Untie it, the puppet army doesn't pay attention to the appearance of the army like us!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, the soldiers reacted, and hurriedly unbuttoned the wind and discipline buttons and put on raincoats.

It is well known that the puppet army does not pay attention to military appearance, and this will not change because the White Tiger Regiment is an 'elite' army. In fact, I think this should be the result of the training of the puppet army under the Yankees.

I have seen a lot about the appearance of the US military, and they do not think that the appearance of the army is directly related to the combat effectiveness of an army. Not to mention that I have fought with the Yankees now, I have also seen the appearance of the American army in modern movies, and on the battlefield they are often shirtless and smoking cigarettes like a hooligan, and there are also those who still chew gum in their mouths when they stand in line and assemble. However, it is often such a soldier who can really fight on the battlefield......

Since this is the case for the US military, then the puppet army commanded and participated in the training by them will certainly not be an exception.

Recognizing this, a group of thirteen of us (including myself) walked towards 522.1 heights, all with rifles on their backs and helmets worn crookedly, in an untidy formation.

Although I have done many times to disguise myself as a puppet army, to be honest, I still feel nervous when I see the searchlights, machine gun emplacements, and checkpoints of the puppet army from a distance.

So I kept comforting myself in my heart, the surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment was originally in history, "And we should be able to successfully complete the task like Yang Yucai and them......,... But on second thought, isn't this history already changing? Who knows if history will make us all die here......

Although there were bursts of 'hair' in his heart, he didn't regret that he could take the 'medicine' at this point, so he had to grit his teeth and try to relax himself and walk towards the puppet army step by step.

The distance of one kilometer is not far, and we walked in the muddy water for more than ten minutes before we arrived. The searchlight spotted us and quickly locked onto us, followed by the sound of bolts being pulled, and one of the puppet soldiers shouted at us, "???? (Korean: Password!) )”

My head exploded as soon as I heard that, oops! I haven't come to get the password of the puppet army yet.

But although my heart was 'messy', I pretended not to care on my face, and impatiently blocked the light of the searchlight with my hand and replied in Korean: "Hey! Can you turn the damn lamp away and not see that we're our own? We were the reconnaissance unit of the 2nd Battalion, and the 2nd Battalion went to attack the puppet army on the 585.2 heights where we were stationed, and I learned their numbers from the captives. This unit suffered heavy casualties in our counterattack last night, so I guess this must be resting on the 585.2 heights, as a "reconnaissance unit", there is nothing wrong with going out to reconnoiter last night and only coming back now!

Sure enough, the puppet army in front of them did not suspect it, and quickly moved the light of the searchlight away slightly, but still insisted: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense with me, answer the questions honestly, or the gun in my hand won't be a joke! Mouth......,..."

Although the soldiers behind me couldn't understand Korean, they were not stupid and understood what was going on, and they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, our unit had just successfully come out of the water, and because of such an arsenic leak, it 'exposed' the horse's feet, which was really not a good feeling in my heart.

I was the most anxious, not only because I was the only one who could speak Korean, but also because I was their leader. If I take them to death like this and even ruin the whole plan, then I will not be willing to say anything.

"Password!" The puppet army on the opposite side shouted again: "This time, the tone is already full of hostility.

"it!" I cursed in my heart, and was about to roll aside to fight with these puppet soldiers, but at the critical moment, I frowned, and suddenly remembered the movie "Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" I watched when I was a child, which also had a scene of the puppet army asking for passwords. I still remember Yang Yucai, they fought against the puppet army. The order is "Gurum Mu One Oba", I never thought about what this password meant, I only remember the pronunciation, and the pronunciation in my memory has also changed a little.

But I'm going to North Korea now, aren't I? So I hurriedly compared this inaccurate pronunciation with the Korean in my head: the closest pronunciation to "Gurum" is "cloud", and the closest to "Oba" is "...... Hail".

That's right! "Cloud" vs. "Hail", this puppet army still has a bit of culture!

But isn't that the password? Whatever! Now it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor......

I glanced at the ditch next to the road, made up my mind to roll over there as soon as something was wrong, and exclaimed in a tone of pretense of disdain, "Hey, what are you doing in such a hurry?" You need to give people a breath, too...... It's been a busy day and a night! Password:?? (Korean: cloud),! ”

“?? (Korean: hail)! The puppet army sentry replied with some dissatisfaction: "'Lang' has cost so many mouths......,... Wouldn't you have said no earlier? There was a lot of twittering, and I almost shot me out, you know? Let's get over it! ”

I didn't tell him, I just smiled and shook my head meaninglessly. As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will lose, and at this time, it's better not to 'trick' my Korean in front of them!

Watching the fence slowly rise, I also knew the group of soldiers behind me who had almost dropped their jaws in the air.

Although the soldiers were surprised, they all knew very well where this was. So in addition to the eyes that are a little weird, the movements are still quite similar. The puppet army didn't have any suspicions about the soldiers, but just laughed a few times at our muddy mess and let us go.

Along the way, there were patrols of the puppet army and migrant workers who evacuated bombs and oil drums, and an ordinary army of only a dozen people like ours was like a needle that had fallen into the sea, and it was even more unrecognizable. It gave me a sense of security, at least for the moment, that I didn't have to worry about my life.

Fearing that speaking Chinese would make the people around them suspicious, the soldiers were silent all the way, and they all hurried away with their heads bowed. Although this makes me feel a little bored, it's good to think about it, "At least the soldiers won't pester me and ask how they know the password of the puppet army White Tiger Regiment." To be honest, I didn't really know how to answer them!

We don't dare to march too fast" which will make us look conspicuous, and for the same reason we don't dare to be too slow. So I had to follow the pace of the puppet army.

The terrain of the highlands is not dangerous, and there are few ditches and steep walls, and in order to facilitate the transportation of ammunition and ammunition for migrant workers on this rainy night, the puppet army also used several searchlights to guide the way, so it is not difficult to walk along the way.

We followed the puppet army for a while on the winding mountain road, and slowly approached the hilltop position. I think the Puppet Legion Department is almost there! I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, and the hands were already pointing to half past nine. At this time, the company of our army, which is familiar with the 'sex' of water, "must have used the same method as us to 'feel' the encirclement of the puppet army, and unknowingly went around to the defense line of the puppet army and stood by!"

Buy time!

Listening to the gunfire that was getting closer and denser to the north, I couldn't help but frown.

If we hadn't launched an offensive in time to defeat the puppet army White Tiger Regiment in one fell swoop, once the puppet army deserters retreated, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It is not only a question of whether or not the task can be completed, but the company of our army lurking behind the defense line of the puppet army will also be besieged by the puppet army White Tiger Regiment and the puppet army deserters...... At that time, it seemed that there was only one defeat waiting for our strong group!

"Yikes! Where did you get the table? Just when I was worried about the war situation, a puppet soldier next to me came up, grabbed the pocket watch in my hand and asked curiously: "Is it Chinese?" Good stuff! ”

I couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly blamed myself for accidentally "how could I expose this thing of pocket watch to that friend for a long time." …… Second, in this era, only relatively backward Chinese will not be able to ...... on the battlefield The Yankees and the pseudo-military are the kind of gold that they wear on their wrists, and they ......, "Hmm! Yes......" I settled down, and my mouth began to blow 'chaotically': "This is what I pinched on the corpse of a Chinese soldier, and it is rare that I can still walk, and it is very accurate." This antique might even sell for a good price......"

"Brother, sell it to me! Tell me about the price......" The puppet army's answer quickly made me regret saying this, what is not easy to say, why do you say "sell for a good price"! I should have thought a long time ago: it is popular in our army to buy and sell and 'hand' over for loot, and this puppet army is no exception!

"How much money do you have? can afford ......" I mean this guy definitely doesn't have money on him when he's in a war.

But I soon found out that I was wrong, and this guy took out a big gold tooth from his pocket like a trick and said, "This is for you, this is what I dug out of the mouth of a People's Army guy, is it enough......"

I couldn't help but be stunned, the puppet army thought that I still made less money, hesitated, and took out another gold tooth from his pocket as if he had made up his mind, and said: "That's all, brother, if you don't change it, it will be too impersonal." I wanted to go back and give my fiancée a gift, something that was dug out of the dead man's mouth and she wouldn't like it, "or I wouldn't have changed ......"

"Okay......" I reluctantly handed over the pocket watch and took the two gold teeth, in fact, I didn't want to entangle with him anymore, otherwise it would inevitably 'show' flaws.

"Yikes! You're such a nice person! Seeing that I agreed to 'hand' over, the puppet soldier happily took the pocket watch and warmly invited me and said: "Brother, I will marry her after I return from the war, and I will definitely invite you to drink the wedding wine at that time!" By the way, what's your name and where do you live? How can I contact you then......"

I couldn't help but secretly complain, I didn't expect that all the pocket watches given to me by the head of the prayer group had been contributed, and I still couldn't get rid of this annoying guy!

At this time, there was a fork in the road ahead, and I simply said, "I'm here, I'm going to go this way...... A chance to see you again......"

Suddenly I noticed that this guy's face was a little wrong, and he looked at me strangely, and then looked at the soldiers behind me, "The right hand unconsciously leaned on the gun on the shoulder!" But soon he put on a smile and said, "Oh, that...... A chance to see you again......"

I know we've 'exposed'" and nodded with a smile and stretched out his hand to him, and when he approached, he pretended to stretch out his left hand to invite his shoulder, and his right hand had already 'drawn' the thorn into his raincoat against his waist. At the same time, Yang Zhenshan, who was following me, also had a tacit understanding and grabbed in front of us and blocked the sight of others.

"I think you're a smart guy!" I whispered to him, "If you still want to see your fiancée, you know what you have to do!" If you cooperate, I promise you can go back and see her, no one will know what you do, and you can also take that pocket watch with you......"

The puppet army hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

This is the weakness of human animals. I believe that this puppet soldier is brave and wise, as can be seen by his attempt to pretend not to notice after seeing through us" and being hesitant to agree to this by me with a bayonet. But his weakness lies in the fact that "there is still a loved one at home waiting for him to return......

"Very good......" I pretended to be like two close comrades-in-arms were talking, with a smile on my face and a vicious question on my mouth, "How did you see my flaws......"

"That way...... It's another way down the mountain! The puppet army replied calmly.

"it......" I couldn't help but curse secretly, and then I knew that the problem was here. Why don't you 'get' so many roads down the mountain? But it doesn't seem to be my business, and it's the need of the wood-gatherers......

"Where is the regimental headquarters......" I didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly asked the question I wanted to know the most.

The puppet army didn't speak, but just looked not far ahead.

Following his gaze, there were two rows of well-organized and elaborate wooden houses in the ravine in front of him, two jeeps were neatly parked in front of the house, surrounded by barbed wire, and several sentries in raincoats were standing at the entrance, walking back and forth!

The goal was so obvious...... I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Maybe it's because the puppet army thinks that no one can 'mix' into their hinterland in this situation! In addition, the volunteer fighters can almost be said to have no air power, so their regimental headquarters is located in such an obvious place.

Moreover, there are oil lamps lit in the wooden house, and through the light, you can vaguely see several puppet army officers driving inside...... This is almost inconceivable for the volunteers.

But when you think about it, it feels normal, the United Nations army has a large number of aircraft, which also makes our volunteers have to hide all the targets, and even dare not turn on the lights. And the puppet army will not have this kind of worry at all.

In this respect, it may be a good thing that our army does not have air power. Born in sorrow and died in peace! Tonight, these puppet soldiers are about to taste the taste of "dying in ......"!

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the other puppet soldiers, I glanced at the puppet army headquarters again, and continued to move forward without moving. It wasn't until after making two turns on the mountain road that he took the puppet army and the soldiers into the shadows without paying attention......
