Chapter 299: The Shadow of the Cliff
Yan Ruofei and Chang Lianfa hid on the edge of the cliff, observing carefully little by little, and the more carefully they looked, the more they felt that this task was arduous, not to mention sneaking into the cave, even if they wanted to enter the barbed wire field surrounded by the enemy, it was difficult to do.
Chang Lianfa shook his head and said: "Boss, I think this place is not easy to blend into, the enemy who guards and protects the grain depot here is at most an infantry squadron, we can only take down the cave by storming and bombarding a few cannons." ”
Yan Ruofei held the telescope silently and continued to search, and when he searched straight up and down along the cliff wall, he suddenly let out a low 'huh' and folded the telescope back again.
He looked at it for a while and moved his telescope, looking very carefully at the cliffs under the cliffs, every small and inconspicuous place.
After a long time, Yan Ruofei handed the telescope to Chang Lianfa: "Old Chang, take a closer look and see if there are any new discoveries you make." ”
Chang Lianfa held the binoculars, for him, this was the first time he was on a mission with Yan Ruofei, and he must behave well to prove that he is not just a rude man, but a soldier who can only fight without using his brain.
He observed slower than Yan Ruofei, but in the end, he didn't realize that there was no feasible route for how to go down to the site at the bottom of the cliff surrounded by barbed wire.
Chang Lianfa was unconvinced and continued to follow the cliff wall that Yan Ruofei had repeatedly observed, observing down little by little, and he also asked, "Boss, have you noticed the staggered protruding stone cliff under the cliff?" I think it will be very difficult for us to go down the staggered canine tooth stones, and the enemy's searchlight is very troublesome, once it is covered by the searchlight, the brothers hanging in the air will become a live target, no, no, no, this is too dangerous. ”
Yan Ruofei looked at Chang Lianfa, he didn't expect this rough-looking soldier to be so thoughtful, and his observation and judgment were in place, but he ignored one point, that is, the enemy would be very relieved about the safety of this cliff, and would not put his main energy on it.
He stretched out his thumb and praised: "Lao Chang, your observation is very strong, your judgment is accurate, but you just ignore the enemy's contempt and carelessness for this cliff, we will take advantage of the enemy's negligence, quickly go down from this cliff to the bottom, and carry out our secret mission." ”
Lao Chang looked at Yan Ruofei with a little surprise: "Boss, do you really want to risk going down from the cliff?" Oh my god, isn't this a death? Ay? You say that the enemy ignores this cliff, how do you see it? ”
Yan Ruofei pursed his lips and smiled and pointed to the watchtower surrounded by barbed wire, and said analytically: "You see, the searchlights on all sides of the enemy's watchtower, the searchlights on the east, west and north sides are all large, only the small searchlight facing the south is aimed at the cliff wall under us, I think the searchlight shines over, and the light will not be too strong." ”
He paused for a moment and then said: "I have already observed once last night, and I only took a cursory look at the mountains, slopes, woods and dirt roads extending out of this cave, and I still have no bottom in my heart, but today I carefully observed and analyzed again, only this cliff is the only way for us to blend into the enemy's cave grain depot." ”
Chang Lianfa not only admired Yan Ruofei's wit and courage, but also had doubts about the course of action he proposed, but he couldn't think of a better way, thinking that once this mission was successfully completed, it would solve the food problem of the entire newly formed Anti-Japanese War Brothers' Company and nearly 1,000 soldiers and brothers in winter and spring.
He nodded heavily and said, "Boss, this time I will arrange the first batch of candidates to go down the cliff to carry out the mission, I want to be the first to sign up, boss, don't you give me this face." ”
Yan Ruofei fell in love with this Chang Lianfa in his heart, it turned out that he was not a reckless man with a short temper and no scheming, just trying to be happy for a while, if he got along with each other heart-to-heart, and then stimulated his enthusiasm for killing the enemy, this brother must be a good commander who takes the lead on the battlefield.
He looked at Chang Lianfa with sincere eyes, and Chang Lianfa asked a little embarrassed: "Boss, are you not at ease, afraid that I will mess up the task you deployed?" It doesn't matter, I'm a studious person, as long as you tell me all the specific action plans and steps, if I mess up the task, you'll shoot me. ”
Yan Ruofei nodded and said: "Lao Chang, I am very relieved of you, but our group, you and I will act separately, I will take Li Xiaokui down the cliff to the site surrounded by barbed wire, and after mixing into the cave grain depot, I will give you instructions, if we cooperate tacitly, this arduous task will not be difficult to complete." ”
"No, the task of sneaking into the cave grain depot is very dangerous, you are the supreme commander of the newly formed Anti-Japanese War Brotherhood Company, anyone can die, you shoulder the lives of nearly a thousand brothers, you can't die, and you don't dare to die, this dangerous mission will be handed over to me Chang Lianfa, is the boss not at ease with me?"
Yan Ruofei was excited to see what Chang Lianfa said, and in order not to dwell on this issue, he said seriously: "Old Chang, can you understand the Japanese bird language?" Will you speak their minds? Once you sneak into the cave and run into a little devil, you can't even understand 'dead, dead', and you don't need to act, you will be killed by the little devil. ”
Chang Lianfa heard Yan Ruofei say this, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to defend a few words, but what Yan Ruofei said was not unreasonable, he put his head on the ground in frustration and said, "Boss, are you a human or a god?" Don't say that the brothers said behind their backs, you are not the former Yan Rufei, or an out-and-out heavenly person, in your eyes, nothing can stump you, it really makes me jealous and hateful. ”
The sky was slowly about to darken, Yan Ruofei led the group to lurk secretly on the edge of the cliff, and he put his main energy on the watchtower surrounded by barbed wire.
During the brief period when the sky was gray and dark, the enemy probably did not turn on the searchlights during this time, probably due to the lack of power to supply the searchlights.
Yan Ruofei ordered the brothers around him: "Li Xiaokui and I tie the rope to our waists, you have to pull the rope tightly, the brother who pulls the rope at the front, you must pay attention to the feel, according to the strength of the two of us down the cliff, adjust the tightness of the rope from time to time, and ensure that if the enemy does not find out, put me and Li Xiaokui down without fail." ”
He turned his head to Li Xiaokui, who was lying on the ground, and said: "On the premise of ensuring speed, we must be cautious and cautious step by step, the tentacles of our feet must be flexible, and we must step on it steadily to proceed to the next step. ”
The two of them made all the preparations for Xia Shun, and they were about to start acting, Chang Lianfa, who was next to Yan Ruofei, suddenly hugged Yan Ruofei, and whispered in a slightly choked voice: "Boss, be careful, the brothers of the Anti-Japanese War Brothers are waiting for you, you must." ”
"Don't be so blushing, you take your brothers on the edge of the cliff, be alert to the movements of the enemies around you, and pay attention to the signals I send you at any time, brothers, your boss Yan Ruofei will definitely live to meet you, get ready, for victory, goodbye."
Two black shadows first followed their two legs from the edge of the cliff, and tried to step on the cliff crack where they could land, grasping the rope with one hand, touching the cliff wall with the other, and sliding down little by little step in a frightening way.
Yan Ruofei and Li Xiaokui descended less than five meters from the edge of the cliff, and the searchlight of the enemy's watchtower suddenly turned on, so frightened that the two of them held their breath and lay on the cliff wall tightly, not daring to move.
The searchlight that suddenly turned on brightly swept down the watchtower, and it was snowy, but the small searchlight on the south side somehow did not turn on at the same time.
Yan Ruofei whispered to Li Xiaokui: "Let's see clearly from a high position, but the enemy below is not easy to find the two of us, now hurry up and slide quickly, but you must pay attention to your feet, don't step on the stone, start." ”
As he spoke, he shook the rope slightly, and the brother on the edge of the cliff was instructed to slowly descend the rope.
The enemy turned on the searchlights on three sides, and for Yan Ruofei and Li Xiaokui in the dark shadow, this was no better, with bright light and insinuation, the speed of the descent increased more and more.
Just as the two of them slid nervously and cautiously, about halfway up the cliff face, the south-facing searchlight of the watchtower suddenly turned on, and a small bright light began to strafe in front of the cliff. (To be continued.) )
