None of the people who are appearing at the moment do not have any passes, but it is difficult to say what kind of identity these people are. Maybe people from other troops? It's not good to get hurt by mistake. What matters is, if it's an enemy, how many? Be sure to wait until they're fully there. There were a total of seventeen people who appeared in front of and behind the passage, starting from the third person, and the time interval and speed of the people who appeared behind were much faster than those in front.

The rain has lessened, but the temperature has become colder.

Lin Yiqing exhaled softly, and he slowly turned towards the artillery position. In the fog, he saw that the sentry standing was obviously looking around, so Lin Yiqing gently pulled the rope. The sentry quickly lay down on the ground, and could no longer be seen in the sandbag fortifications. Maybe this guy felt that the shooting was not good, and quickly half-squatted up.

Seeing that the sentries in the artillery positions had become vigilant through special contact, he relieved himself and took his rifle in hand.

This small dirt slope where they are lurking is planted with mines on all sides, and it is not easy for the enemy to come up. If it were his own people, he would not have rushed up the mountain in front of the artillery position. The front line was full of mines, which is not surprising, especially in artillery positions, where mines were laid out to prevent enemy infantry attacks. The seventeen men who appeared at the moment could not tell whether they were friend or foe, but one thing was certain: they were already approaching the artillery position under the small dirt slope, in the morning fog of dawn.

In front of the artillery position was a dense meadow, and it was easy to hide someone. But looking at Lin Yiqing, he can't hide anything. The grass is a slope, and the slope is not very large.

It's getting brighter. But the fog seemed to be getting thicker. Visibility became extremely poor. But the raindrops have become smaller. The more humid the ground became, the colder it became. Lying on the ground, the heat transferred almost all the heat from the person, and the cold taste made people very uncomfortable. But now is no longer the time to feel it and complain.

The sentries had quietly informed the Satsuma soldiers on all the positions, and they were all quietly ready for battle. Seventeen men approaching the artillery position, under the cover of dense fog, had reached about 30 meters from the front of the artillery position, and were now passing through the slope. Touch it up.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a puff of smoke rose in front of the position, and the black gunpowder smoke was very conspicuous in the white fog. Immediately after the sound of screams, someone stepped on a mine.

The sentries detonated two more mines in an instant, and the steel nails shot past like a shower of rain, and the rifles in the hands of the artillerymen also shot wildly in the thick fog, and the bullets really seemed to rain on the grass at the front of the position. It was only in an instant that a dense burst of gunfire rang out over the position. Break the silence of the dawn.

The enemy failed to sneak up and retreated under fire cover. But what they didn't expect was to be surrounded by a lot of them.

Taking advantage of the moment when the fog was blown by the wind, the rifle in Lin Yiqing's hand fired one after another, suppressing the enemy there and making him dare not move. In his blurred vision, he saw at least three enemy soldiers killed by the bullets he fired, lying motionless on the ground.

The enemy who was attacking lay on the ground and did not dare to move, several of them were knocked down by the rain of bullets from the artillerymen, and the rest of the people, regardless of the danger, hurriedly crawled back and fired on both sides, trying to cover themselves from danger with fire.

Because the fog was extremely heavy and the wind had passed, there was nothing to see at all at this moment, so Lin Yiqing stopped shooting. He knew that the sight of the Odd Soldier in ambush below should be better than that of him above, and he didn't have to worry about them being there.

He thought that the enemy was definitely not only seventeen people, but there must be someone to answer behind. He was about to turn around to look behind him, when he heard the characteristic sound of a sniper rifle shot behind him, and without looking back, he knew that it was Junichi Takagi firing.

He quickly turned around and crawled over, and the bullets hit the ridge, causing the branches and leaves to rattle, and the enemy behind them counterattacked with fierce gunfire. But soon, for a few seconds, the crisp sound of fire from the enemy's rifle could not be heard before and after.

After a period of wild fire, the soldiers on the artillery position also stopped.

Lin Yiqing sent people down to check the results of the battle, and soon got a report that all seventeen enemy soldiers were killed, five of them were killed by mines, three were killed by artificially detonated mines, and nine unlucky guys were all killed by the ambushed odd soldiers.

Although the result was a little different from what Lin Yiqing had predicted in advance, fortunately, the threat of the artillery position was lifted.

The infiltration operations of the government army are obviously inferior to those of the Satsuma army, and they appear clumsy and stupid, but Lin Yiqing understands that this situation may not last long, and the combat strength of the current government army is obviously constantly improving, reaching the level of the Satsuma army or even surpassing it, which is not impossible.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the dew from the branches and leaves of a waist-length tree next to it was almost dry. On this little tree, he saw a dew that was particularly round, shiny, and reflected the light.

At this moment, the artillerymen were preparing, the gun jacket was torn off, and the muzzle of the cannon was raised. According to the coordinates brought back by Lin Yiqing, the Satsuma artillery will carry out artillery strikes on the positions of the government forces there.

Several 120-mm cannons roared at the same time, and a huge sound echoed through the forest, and in an instant the position was already glittering with fire, and the ground shook. The loud roar of artillery fire engulfed everything in an instant. As agreed, friendly artillery also began to fire.

Some of the newly enlisted Satsuma soldiers were so shocked that they were dizzy for a while, and they couldn't find the north. Some people were already vomiting, and several people were starting to vomit. Lin Yiqing also felt the roar of the shooting, and the eardrums were painful, making people feel nauseous for a while. He knew that this was not the forefront, that the nerves were not highly tense, and that it was normal for people to suddenly be shaken by such a loud noise.

Half an hour later, the shelling stopped, and Lin Yiqing carefully observed the smoke column in front of him, and found that the government forces did not retaliate after the shelling.

The smell of gunpowder was still strong on the battlefield, and the sun finally broke through the clouds, and the visibility gradually improved.

"My lord, the base camp of the thieves has been found, and it is not far from that ammunition depot." Shiori Mochizuki came immediately with a small group of people. reported to Lin Yiqing.

"Great. Thank you very much. Lin Yiqing looked at the Mochizuki sisters and several ninjas behind them. Nodding.

"The thief general who was injured in the arm by the lord last time. Do you know who the lord is? Kaori Mochizuki looked at Lin Yiqing and asked with a smile.

"Which one?" Lin Yiqing couldn't remember which one Kaori Mochizuki was talking about, he had experienced too many battles, and Kaori Mochizuki asked coldly, he really didn't have any impression.

"It's the thief general who was hit in the arm by the lord in the arm and fled in embarrassment last time when the lord raided the front line observation post of the thief army." Kaori Mochizuki smiled, "The lord knows that he is Oyama Yan. After the removal of Youpeng in Shanxian County, the supreme commander of the thief army is now under his command. ”

"It's a pity!" Lin Yiqing recalled the scene of the last battle and couldn't help but sigh.

"This person was not lightly wounded, but he refused to go back to the rear to recuperate, and invited a Russian military doctor to come to the front to treat his wounds, and now he is in the base camp." Kaori Mochizuki said again.

"He was afraid that if he was injured and retreated, the morale of the whole army would collapse, and the war would be affected." Lin Yiqing understood, "Speaking of which, this Dashan Yan is also related to General Xixiang. is injured and can't get out of the line of fire.,It's quite the style of General Saigo.。 ”

"My lord. Shall we strike again and take his life? Shiori Mochizuki asked, "As soon as this person dies, the thief army will inevitably be in chaos, and there will be no choice but to do anything about our army." ”

"Of course I want to go." Lin Yiqing raised his eyebrows and immediately decided.

After checking and comparing the map and determining the location of the enemy's base camp, Lin Yiqing led everyone to set off.

Leaving the artillery position, fog rose outside again. More than 20 people walked through the dense fog of the night, and the path led by the Mochizuki sisters and the ninjas was almost no road, up and down the mountain and down the ravine, and sometimes it was impossible to walk at all in the dense bamboo forest.

Lin Yiqing took the lead and walked in front with Sister Mochizuki. The march was slow, and after half an hour it had walked less than a kilometer. However, if this is not the case, many places that can be walked may be mined by both the enemy and us, and they are vulnerable to ambushes, exposing the targets of the march.

After reaching a ridge, everyone stopped. Everyone was already soaked, and they were all panting.

The descent is very steep, the bamboo forest is very dense, and everyone is almost sliding down in the bamboo forest. After a few minutes, I came out of the bamboo forest and came to the edge of a valley, which was not far from the place that Sister Mochizuki had said.

Lin Yiqing and Sister Mochizuki had already descended the cliff nearly two zhang high first, and came into contact with the ground below the cliff. The valley is about two or three feet wide, with a path in the middle, thick grass growing on both sides, and some bushes. If you don't make a noise, you'll have to follow the path in the middle, but this path is also deserted, and apparently there are very few people walking.

He looked around, and behind him was the road from which he came, zigzag, and there was no one in the middle of his eyes. The fog dissipated for a while, the boulder on the right was abrupt, and the figure on the cliff on the left was his own person, because of the poor sight, the three of them were on the waist, holding guns, with their eyes wide open, their ears pricked up, and they were on high alert when they marched.

A small village appeared ahead.

Lin Yiqing suddenly heard vague footsteps coming from the direction of the village in front of him. He quickly overtook the few people who had touched him, took several steps forward, half-crouched on a rock, and looked ahead.

After a few seconds, I could hear it more clearly, and the still faint footsteps were indeed coming from the direction of the entrance to the village above. Many people on the cliff here heard it, as if there were two or three people. Not far ahead, a member of the Odd Soldier made a gesture to his companion behind him to stop advancing and lie low and stealth. Lin Yiqing stepped onto another boulder in front of him, knelt down and leaned over to scan the source of the footsteps with a sniper rifle.

The entrance in front was empty, and in the grass, he saw a figure shaking about a hundred meters away. It must have been the village's mobile sentinel that noticed something and came to check on the movement, but it could have been just a routine patrol and didn't find anything.

How many enemy troops there are in the village is unknown, and we can only take it one step at a time. Now the matter has to be dealt with by those who have come out of the village. It takes some time to get to the valley below. The rock is very steep, two zhang high, and when he goes down, the place Lin Yiqing chose is not good enough, and he almost fell directly, which shocked him into a cold sweat.

It turned out that when he was just halfway down, his right hand went down to find a point of strength on the rock, and the bottom of the rock suddenly hung in the air, and his toes could not find a place to exert his strength, and his body shook. If it weren't for his left hand, he grabbed a protrusion from the cliff. If you don't get hurt if you fall, you can make a loud noise. Alarm the enemy in front. But his sniper rifle swung and the butt hit the stone with a crisp sound.

Everyone was startled, and Lin Yiqing's hairs stood upside down. He stayed there for two or three seconds, apparently the enemy in front of him was already alert, and the footsteps suddenly disappeared and could not be heard.

Lin Yiqing was anxious, with his hands. Quickly move sideways to the right. There was a tree growing there, and he thought he might be able to use it to get down to the ground safely and quickly.

His feet were dangling in the air and he couldn't find a place to borrow strength. After moving a meter, he pedaled diagonally on the tree and slowly moved down. After going down like this for about a meter, he found a cave in the cliff, no wonder his feet were suddenly suspended in the air just now and he couldn't find a point to borrow. The hole was pitch black, as if it were very large. He was about to go on, when he suddenly heard something in the cave.

When he listened closely, the cave was buzzing with what seemed to be a human voice.

Lin Yiqing's first reaction was that there were enemies here. At this time, Sister Mochizuki followed him and chose to come down here. Lin Yiqing said in a low voice: "Quick! There is a case! Then he crawled into the hole.

Shiori Mochizuki climbed in with him, probably Wang Zongbao. Lin Yiqing turned around and whispered to her, "Go down!" He felt that the entrance to the cave was too narrow, that it was too dangerous for two people to be here, that the probability of being hit doubled, and that once the fight started, he didn't want Shiori Mochizuki to die at the entrance of the cave like this. Shiori Mochizuki understood, and quickly went down with her sister, Lin Yiqing half-squatted up, stood sideways by the entrance of the cave, and listened carefully to the movements inside.

Someone came out of the hole, and it seemed that there was more than one. It has to be plugged inside.

Lin Yiqing waited at the entrance of the cave for about a few seconds, listening to the enemy's voice still buzzing inside, so he hurriedly walked a few steps inside, carefully walked to the opposite side, and touched it four or five meters in.

The voices and footsteps in front of you are getting closer. He felt the wall of the cave and walked, and his left hand suddenly felt empty, and he realized that there was a fork hole on the left hand side. He stood there, not far from where it seemed as if someone had urinated on it. It seemed that he couldn't go in anymore, and he was unusually calm in his heart. After assessing the situation in his mind's quickest motion, he quickly stepped back a little and leaned to the right.

There was still a distance from the sound of enemy footsteps coming out of front. Fighting in a dark hole, he had many experiences, so he didn't panic. But waiting like this, my nerves are highly tense, and there is still some sweat in my palms. Listening to the enemy's footsteps getting closer and closer, his breathing unconsciously became heavy.

The sound of talking and footsteps is getting closer and closer, and it should be about four or five meters. The cavern was pitch black, and the air seemed to be stagnant. He was worried that there were too many rocks in the cave, and the darkness would affect the shooting effect. In this case, for the enemy troops that come out, either they will be completely annihilated as soon as they strike, or they will not be able to alarm them. He didn't know what the situation was outside, and he was afraid that the enemy here would start shooting and alarm the enemy outside, so he didn't shoot because he was not sure that he would be completely annihilated.

In the darkness, the footsteps of the enemy were already close away. He was half-crouching sideways, and then he took a step forward, facing the sound of the voice. He simply walked a few more steps, preferably in a melee with the enemy. In that case, it will be beneficial to oneself, and the enemy will not be able to distinguish between you and me, so he will not dare to shoot rashly.

Thus a cautious step forward, the enemy did not notice anything. When he took the second step with his right foot, the muzzle of the sniper rifle with a silencer in his hand slammed into a stone and made a sound.

In the cave, the sound of the muzzle hitting the rock was crisp and loud, and the enemy's footsteps disappeared in an instant, and everyone should have fallen to the ground?

He quickly crouched down and hid behind the rock. This is also a mistake in thought, to achieve the melee effect, in fact, he could have stayed still and waited for the enemy to come to his side before firing. Or wait for the enemy to walk by and not notice him, then boldly follow them to the entrance of the cave, and then fire from behind in the dim light.

Neither side fired a shot at the first time, and there was a stalemate for about two or three seconds before an enemy soldier shouted. In the dark, Lin Yiqing didn't know how tall this rock was, and it was too late to figure it out. The gun in his hand was just swinging, and the muzzle of the gun touched a person's waist and abdomen. The man quickly took a step back, he subconsciously raised the muzzle of the gun, and with a finger pick, a shot was fired.

The enemy who had been shot screamed and fell heavily in front of him. It turned out that this enemy soldier was found in the fork hole next to him, and he may have been very alert, and he followed him when he noticed some movement.

The enemy soldiers inside shouted again, but did not answer, so they immediately opened fire.

The bullets hit the cave wall and the stone that Lin Yiqing relied on to cover, constantly rubbing out sparks, and debris flew everywhere. Lin Yiqing squatted on the ground, so beaten by the enemy that he didn't dare to raise his head and couldn't move. The enemy rushed out as he fought, and the situation was extremely critical, and he decisively threw a thunder bullet over. Lei Yan hit the wall of the cave with a clatter, rolled down, it should have fallen on a person, the hole let out a frightened cry, and then a dull explosion sounded, and a piece of shrapnel or gravel flew over his squatting head, driving his helmet a little.

The smell of gunsmoke in the cave was very choking, and after waiting for a few seconds, there was no movement, and the enemies inside did not shoot out, and it was estimated that they were all dead. (To be continued......)
