Chapter 19: Night Raid on the Checkpoint
When Gao Quan climbed to the top of the mountain, although he had several layers of cloth wrapped around his hands, he was still cut twice, and the blood stained the cloth red. Before I reached the highest point, I already felt the tremor of the mountain, the red light flashed on the side of the mountain, and the rumbling cannon sound was deafening, much louder than the sound made by the devil's reinforced artillery squadron yesterday.
When he went up to the top of the mountain and looked over there, Gao Quan was overjoyed. Happily, the devil's artillery position is really at the foot of this mountain, and what is surprising is that there is a broken cliff on the other side of the mountain, and it is impossible to go down from the top of this mountain!
At the foot of the hill is a flat land like a square, which is brightly lit. Dozens of large artillery pieces were bombarded frequently, and the rumbling sound of the cannons shook the rocks under their feet.
There are 30 or 40 mountain artillery, field artillery, large-caliber howitzers, and all kinds of heavy artillery, which is an artillery unit at the level of a company. Gao Quan counted carefully, there were thirty-six cannons of all kinds, and almost every second, there were cannons roaring, and the pressure on the defenders of Yukou could be seen. Seeing the number of devil cannons clearly, Gao Quan didn't dare to slack off, quickly took out a flashlight, covered it with a cloth, lit the electric door four times in the direction behind him, drew a circle and turned it twice, and after a while, he did it again.
A few seconds later, the distant mountain peaks lit up with white lights, which flashed and disappeared three times. Qian Sixi received the signal!
This road is impassable, and Gao Quan has to quickly find the way to the devil's artillery position. Along the way, I grabbed the weeds and shrubs that grew out of the cracks in the stones and slid down, and when I encountered the protruding stones, I jumped over. Exceptional cross-country ability played a big role at this time, and compared to the thrill of wartime, the training and missions of the past were like peacetime games. However, without the workouts in these games, Gao Quan would not be able to have today's superb skills.
Soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, groped forward along the sheep intestine path, and just walked out of a thousand meters, he found a devil's sentry. Three devils sat around a fire, two sat and snoozed, and one with a rifle stood guard. In the north of early spring, the spring is cold, and the temperature at night is still very low. The devils were roasting on the fire and sleeping soundly, and the devil standing guard also lowered his head for a while, a little sleepy. Gao Quanfu lowered his body and slowly approached, so that he could directly enter three meters away, and the vigilant devil still did not find it.
The body jumped up, and the dagger in his right hand went straight into the devil's throat! The devil seemed to be awakened suddenly, and as soon as he raised his head coldly, he just exposed his neck, and the dagger was plunged straight into the handle without any barrier. As soon as the devil's hand loosened, the rifle fell downward. Gao Quan's toes hooked, and the Type 38 rifle blocked it on his feet, and the sound of landing was reduced a lot, and in the deafening cannon sound, this level of noise could not be heard at all.
Slowly put the devil on the ground, Gao Quan pulled out the dagger, rubbed it twice on the devil's clothes, and lightly touched the two devils who were napping around the fire. Maybe it was a little cold, and the devil on the left side of the fire moved around his shoulder, moved a little closer to the fire, and muttered something in a low voice. Suddenly, as if he had heard something unusual, he tilted his head and looked over at his companion on duty. I don't know what he saw, his eyes opened in an instant, and his mouth was wide open, but he didn't shout anything. A stream of bloody arrows shot out from his neck and slammed into the helmet of the man opposite. When the blood arrow passed through the fire, it brought up a cloud of water vapor, and a foul smell of burnt paste spread through the air.
The devil convulsed and fell, and Gao Quan threw himself like a leopard at the devil across the fire. The snooze devil was obviously irritated by the strange smell in the air, opened his mouth and sneezed, and then his eyes opened to the maximum, because the tip of a blood-dripping knife was facing his neck.
"How many guards are there in that artillery position, and where are they?" Gao Quan didn't want the devil to answer this question at all, but our army has always had a tradition of treating prisoners preferentially, and Gao Quan didn't want to violate the principles of military discipline that he had always abided by.
The devil really didn't disappoint him, and after hearing this skillful question, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he ducked his head back, and reached out to touch the gun. This devil is purely committing suicide, the 38-style rifle is so long, even if he can touch it and catch it, Gao Quan is so close to him now, it is impossible to give him a chance to raise a gun and shoot, right? Sure enough, they are die-hard militarists!
Since people are so desperate to be a martyr loyal to the emperor, Gao Quan of course wants to fulfill the other party's fist heart, the sharp dagger directly cut the opponent's carotid artery, and the little devil lost consciousness in a few seconds.
Gao Quan searched the corpses of the devils, except for a few golden tickets and five oceans, there was nothing particularly valuable, and it seemed that these devils were not rich. These trophies, of course, Gao Quan went into his own pocket. Yesterday's battles, at first it was too sudden, and then there were always others around him, Gao Quan was still a little unable to save face, but now it is only him, killing people and grabbing treasures is the law of survival of the fittest, and Gao Quan is certainly not exempt from vulgarity. No matter how thoroughly we study the war of this era, after all, it is the first time that we have really survived in it, and it is always good to have more guarantees for survival.
Gao Quan pulled out three checkpoints of the devil all the way, but he encountered a little accident at the last time. When I touched the third devil sentry card, there were five devils next to the fire, but this was not enough. At the beginning of the all-army competition, Gao Quan had a glorious record of winning a pair of ten victories, and of course it was no problem to deal with these five devils who were completely out of shape. A dagger, a minute and a half to solve the battle, itself intact, all five enemies destroyed! There was also a hot supper on the fire, which was a few canned beef, and Gao Quan unceremoniously entered his stomach. I was busy for most of the night, and when I said it, I was really a little hungry, but the devil was thoughtful.
Two hundred meters away is the artillery position of the devils, thirty-six guns, hundreds of devils, this is not easy to deal with, Gao Quan did not regard himself as an omnipotent monkey. After lying on the ground and observing for a while, Gao Quan found that there were several tents next to the devil's artillery position, and from time to time there were devils coming in and out.
After taking a rough look at the number of cannons and the number of devils on the position, Gao Quan turned around and left, now Li Luzuo is rushing to this side with the troops, it is better for him to go and answer it, so as to save the troops from getting lost.
The machine-gun emplacements were not too far from here, just two hills apart. After Qian Sixi found the flashlight, he climbed to the old locust tree, his eyes were round, and he searched around, for fear that he would not be able to see the signal sent by the row seat. The night temperature was less than ten degrees, which made him wait for a sweat. After finally seeing the signal sent back by Gao Quan in front of him, Qian Sixi was still a little unconvinced, and rubbed his eyes, until Gao Quan made the same code again, Qian Sixi hurriedly replied to the signal, slid down the tree in a panic, and went to report to the brigade commander.
