Chapter 11 Absorption of the guerrillas
On the bank of the river is a sloping field with snow-covered crops.
There are many houses scattered in the slopes, but they are not a complete tribe. A large scattered village, one in the east and one in the west, scattered throughout the river valley and on the slopes on both sides. In the valley, there are occasionally one or two trees in the crop fields, and the snow on the ground is about 120 centimeters deep.
On the top of the mountain in the distance, there are shadows and lights flickering, which is the hilltop post of the 40th Army of the Polar Bears. During the entire period of military occupation, there were more than 1,100 mountain posts of all kinds on roads, river valleys, and key lands. For every two outposts, the area of control is about 15-20 km.
At this moment, since it was night, Liu Guodong was not worried that the outpost on the top of the mountain in the distance would find them. The two of them, with the little landlord, did not dare to stop for a moment, and quickly crossed the village, like robots, stepping on heavy, stiff legs, trying not to bend their knees, and jumping towards the mountains behind.
The two of them had great difficulty in moving, but before dawn they finally crossed the gravel road and entered the mountains.
The mountain is getting higher and higher, the slopes are covered with snow, and the climb is difficult due to stiff clothing.
The two walked through the snow for more than an hour and left the danger zone. At this time, the mountains are continuous and the peaks are numerous. Liu Guodong quickly found a cave, which was very deep, very hidden, and very warm. The two folded a large pile of firewood and lit it with a lighter. Then, from the shade outside the cave, he kneaded a few large snowballs and took them into the cave.
They helped each other to peel off the wet clothes on their bodies with great difficulty, supported them with wooden sticks, and slowly roasted them. Then he put the bag and the equipment inside by the campfire and dried it slowly.
The two of them were bare-chested, sneezing, holding a big hard snowball, starting from their stomachs and constantly rubbing their bodies. They were silent, rubbing desperately. After wiping the front, they help each other wipe the back. It was only until the skin was warm and red all over the body, like two hot steamed buns that had just come out of the cage, steaming from top to bottom. Like two freshly washed red rodishes, they dried themselves and lit a cigarette to take a breath.
The little landlord had already dried up, but when Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao were rubbing their bodies with snow, it was vigilantly sitting at the entrance of the cave and sentry. He also turned his head from time to time to glance at them, and whined in his throat, perhaps he had discovered the situation and kept sounding the alarm signal.
Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong couldn't take care of it, so it had to continue to stare at the outside of the cave vigilantly.
This kind of plateau wolf military dog, obscure, loyal to duty, will not be as squeamish, naughty, and coquettish as a wolf dog. Looking at its focused and serious expression, Yu Songyuan thought of the general.
A hint of homesickness permeated the chest. The general is noble, sentimental, and stubborn. Compared with the generals, the small landlords belong to the honest and hard-working, hard-working type. It is more able to endure hardships, has no regrets, and always does its job silently, never having any excessive luxury.
For example, when eating, the general will put his basin on the table early and eat on an equal footing with the host. But the small landlord is different, if you put the food and inform it that it can eat, it will come to eat. If you only eat your own, it won't lose its temper at all, it will just stay quietly and never feel anything wrong.
Yu Songyuan was influenced by the generals and always dined with small landlords. Therefore, the small landlord has a deeper affection for the brother team. At this time, the two took out dry food and started breakfast with the small landlord. The water in the kettle had already frozen, but it had melted at this point. Liu Guodong poured some into the stainless steel lunch box, and the small landlord dropped it in a few bites.
By noon, hats, gloves, socks, insoles, clothes, sleeping bags, etc., were all dried inside and out. Putting on the clothes one by one, I feel warm and comfortable, and my heart is refreshed. As soon as his body was comfortable, fatigue surged up, and Yu Songyuan decided that the two of them would take turns to rest.
Liu Guodong slept for a while, and when it was Yu Songyuan's turn to rest, the little landlord began to call the police in a low voice again. Liu Guodong walked barefoot to the small landlord at the entrance of the cave, and he used a telescope to carefully observe the bank of the Kunar River at the bottom of the mountain. The snow in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and in the snowflakes, I can faintly see a group of Kabul government soldiers, braving the wind and snow, searching along the river, and soon find the place where they have landed on the riverbank.
He quickly woke up Yu Songyuan, and the two began to pack their equipment and prepare to leave.
What made them unhappy was that the military boots had been baked for so long, and they were still wet inside. There is no time to roast anymore, you can't stay here for too long, you have to continue your movement into the mountains. The two gritted their teeth and put the two layers of felt mats on the dried sheet, and then put the general's boots on their feet, and began to move deep into the mountain.
Climb over a large mountain with a large canyon in front of you.
The crops on both sides of the valley are filled with poppy straw after harvesting. In the valley, there are scattered and low-rise farmhouses. The two of them quickly crossed the river valley and walked towards the opposite mountain. As he climbed the hill, the little landlord sounded the alarm in a deep guttural voice. Liu Guodong said, "Boss, pay attention, someone is targeting us. ”
"It's the guerrillas, it's not aimed at us. They started by the river and followed us all the way. Ignore them for the time being, and then take them in. Yu Songyuan said casually. In fact, not long after crossing the slope of the river, the small landlord issued an alarm, and Yu Songyuan noticed that someone had begun to follow them. Moreover, it is a group of people who do not pose a threat to them.
When you enter the mountain, you only need to climb over the high mountain in front of you, and you will be a halal country. At this time, it was impossible for the two of them to cross the border alone. Because, the latter team really trembled and followed. "In the end, they still kept up, and put a cordon on us. What to do, is it to destroy them? Liu Guodong asked.
"Just kidding, it's your own people, don't fight!"
Yu Songyuan blurted out and took the lead to climb the small hill in front of him, and the slopes and the canyon below were covered with scattered, low birch forests. Two mountain goats are turning over the snow and nibbling on grass roots. Hearing the movement, they ran together with great effort into the distant woods.
On the opposite side of the hill is a small hilltop outpost for polar bears, with white bunkers in the snow. Yu Songyuan lay down under the rock, took out his binoculars, and carefully observed the outpost. The little landlord sat beside him, and continued to whisper his alarm in his throat. Its forelimbs are straight, and it is already in an attacking stance, ready to strike at any moment.
Yu Songyuan touched its head with his hand and reassured, "It's your own person, don't be nervous." "It's all pointed at guns, and they say it's their own people? Although the little landlord felt uncomfortable and snorted in his throat, after protesting, he obeyed the order and quickly sat down quietly.
Through the telescope, on the hill ahead, there is a large pillbox, with a ring of walls underneath, and several houses are exposed inside. The most prominent was the muzzle of the gun exposed in the wall of the perimeter, which was clearly the muzzle of a 120-mm howitzer. It was a platoon-level outpost with at least a few dozen troops. There is also a small helipad next to the fence.
"Behind us, there were more than a dozen guns pointed at us." Liu Guodong didn't raise his head, and warned in a guttural voice.
"I know that they started by the river and followed us all the time, and they would not attack." Yu Songyuan also replied in a guttural voice.
He did not turn around, still carefully observing the outpost. I saw a helicopter flying to the outpost and hovering on the tarmac in the face of the wind and snow. This is a difficult maneuver, the plane is hovering, and more than a dozen soldiers come down from the plane. "The reaction was really fast, Spetsnaz lived up to its name, this should be a squad sent by the independent 154 detachment, and our retreat was cut off."
The little landlord still looked back vigilantly from time to time at the besieger, and whined in a low voice.
Yu Song lit a cigarette and glanced back. There were more than a dozen people around them, each wearing a polar bear military blanket or a torn quilt, with a rope tied around his waist and a thick turban around his head. Most of them had a large mass of black felt cloth wrapped around their feet, and they didn't even have shoes. The clothes were all in tatters, like a group of Hanako.
They were all holding Chinese-made Type 56 submachine guns, looking very nervous and hesitant. Yu Songyuan glanced back at them, and the dozen or so people all took a small step back in unison. Seeing that Yu Songyuan turned his head and smoked again, he didn't pay attention to them at all, although he felt despised by him, his courage gradually grew.
Liu Guodong also lit a cigarette, although the cigarette was soaked in the river, but the plastic hard box did not leak.
At this time, the leading man, perhaps having judged that they were not enemies, slowly lowered the gun in his hand, and walked over trembling and hesitating. Seeing that neither of them paid attention to him, he had to ask in a low voice, "I'm sorry, you guys...... Who is it? ”
Yu Songyuan spat out a puff of cigarette and turned his head to look at him.
This is a vicissitudes of life, tired "middle-aged" mountain man Islamic Republic man, long beard, although sloppy, but still looks very capable. He smiled and said, "Just like you, Resistant. ”
"What organization do you belong to and where do you come from?" When this man saw the equipment behind Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong, the guys on his hands and body, his arrogance was long gone, and he asked flatteringly, flatteringly, and very unconfidently.
Yu Songyuan glanced at the small landlord who was on high alert and ready to attack at any time, touched its head with his hand to calm it down, and then said, "Oh, we belong to the 'Plateau Wolf Resistance Group', from Jalalabad. ”
"Just the two of you? One night, the airport was completely bombed, and the fire burned all night. Be...... You guys did it, right? The man asked with a look of shock and reverence and awe.
"yes, what's the big deal about that?"
Yu Songyuan nodded and began to observe the outpost again. Seeing that Yu Songyuan ignored them again, the man took the initiative to whisper again, "My name is Havash Karimi, the head of the 'Workers' Solidarity' resistance organization. We're all out of ammunition, can you ...... Take us along? ”
Liu Guodong deliberately said disdainfully, "Can't! See what you're like? ”
When the man heard this, he looked back and lowered his head. People are right, what kind of resistance organization is there for their own people, it is clearly a group of remnants who fled from the desert, a group called Hanako.
"You all have guns in your hands, how do you make yourself look like refugees? Three or two people can claim to be an organization, with too many names, too indiscriminate, and all of them are a rabble. Please, don't say the name. Tell me how many people you have, how much ammunition you have, what results you have, where you came from, and where do you want to go? ”
Liu Guodong clearly wanted to give them a dismount, and reprimanded them endlessly in Ushtu.
