Chapter 58. gorge
The more people walk, the more they become the road. ===But what if people don't walk much, or even no one walks? At least when Li Yu walked on the mountain road with a branch in his hand, he would find that his physical strength was almost not enough to support a long mountain walk, and he had already begun to protest tiredly.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Li Yu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the top of his head, above the dense woods, the slight wind blew the top of the tree tip. But he could only shake his head enviously, looked down at the Soviet Red Army soldiers following behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "The Carpathian Mountains are really majestic, and now you can already feel its power just in the outer mountains." ”
"No way, in the mountains, it's true."
Yuri Marin also wiped the sweat stains on his face behind him, stopped with some embarrassment, took out the military kettle on his waist and quickly unscrewed the lid, poured himself two sips of water, and exhaled a long breath with hot mist before nodding with satisfaction: "But we go deep into this, even millions of group armies can't find us!" ”
The Carpathian Mountains traverse the European continent and connect more than a dozen countries, with only a small part of the area inhabited by mountain people, most of which are uninhabited by mountain peaks and woodlands, as well as ravines and valleys. Not to mention that they are only about 20 people, even if they are more than 100,000 troops, as long as the supplies can keep up, it is quite easy to hide in them.
Li Yu, who is well versed in the history of later generations, knows that those Ukrainians, fed up with the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, formed their own partisan detachments, hidden in the almost infinite Carpathian Mountains. And they, albeit relying only on the Carpathian Mountains, which are close to the Ukrainian regions, also have thousands of partisans, almost a hundred thousand people!
"That being said, we still need to find a place where we can establish a base."
Li Yu nodded approvingly, touching his chin gently, he thought that the Ukrainian guerrillas in later generations had successfully opened up many base areas in this area, so that they could survive the purges of the Soviet Union and the blows of Nazi Germany, and even in the late stage of World War II, the Ukrainian guerrillas of more than 100,000 people became the third largest local force in Ukraine!
However, unlike the Ukrainian guerrillas that Li Yu understands, because they are blocked in the mountains, lack of food and clothing, and are extremely short of ammunition and heavy firepower, if Li Yu confirms the scope of his base area and builds his own base area, then all kinds of support from the game system will be continuously embodied in this world, which can be called the best and most complete logistics support system!
"Comrade Levsky, if our bearings are not too far away ..."
Yuri Marin put the kettle back into his waist, looked at the dense woods in front of him, squinted at the surrounding peaks, and quickly took out a small military map, before raising his head to look at Li Yu and said, "Well, maybe if we turn over the mountain in front of us, a canyon will appear." ”
"Canyon? Is that the second goal we set earlier? ”
Li Yu also took out a small military map, looked up at the area that Yuri Marin was referring to, couldn't help but look down at his map, quickly found a canyon-like marker, and couldn't help frowning: "This is not the most ideal location for us." ”
"But the previous number one target, you were quite disappointed after reading it, didn't you?"
Shrugging his shoulders a little helplessly, Yuri Marin glanced at another marked mountain peak on the map, sighed lightly and said to Li Yu: "That place has scarce water sources, and there is no mountain land that can be cultivated, and there are no bunker facilities around that can be built, except that the mountain peak can be built into a permanent bunker, it has no value. ”
Li Yu had already carefully discussed with Yuri Marin before, if you want to establish a base in the Carpathian Mountains, and it is an area that can support a large number of people, the most basic water source is necessary. In addition, some land should be available for reclamation, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of having to exchange food and water with a system.
After all, points are also quite precious, if you just rely on points to survive, even if you can maintain it for a period of time, but it is not a long-term solution. If you want to liberate Ukraine, or even build your own state, you need to work on many fronts. Focusing only on this small area of the Carpathians is really not Li Yu's style.
"There's a creek in this canyon?"
Gently looking at the markers on the canyon, Li Yu couldn't help frowning slightly, just on the map, a small stream flowed slowly, flowing into the distance around the complex mountainous environment of the Carpathian Mountains. And looking up at the surrounding woods, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Let's go over and have a look!" ”
If there were a creek, the most basic water problem would be improved, and the gorge and the surrounding woodland would be the best shelter and concealment, and as for the surrounding peaks, it would be a good position to dig a few trenches, assuming a few light machine guns, to prevent any enemy attack.
What's more, the outlying areas of the Carpathian Mountains are also complex mountainous terrain, and even if an enemy wants to attack, I am afraid there will be logistical pressure. And the greater the number of people, the greater the pressure on logistics, especially in a complex environment, tanks, artillery and other heavy firepower are difficult to transport in, the most is some small-caliber mountain artillery and mortars, and these are not a huge threat to the troops who build fortifications.
"It's nice here!"
However, when Li Yu turned over the mountain and looked at the long canyon in front of him in front of him, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes slightly, and his face instantly brought a hint of surprise, he turned his head and nodded to Yuri Marin: "If there is no accident, I really want to know what our base will look like!" ”
Right in front of Li Yu, a canyon traversed the Carpathian Mountains, and two high peaks towered like wolf's teeth, forming a flat area in the middle, which was not narrow. And as the canyon winds its way, a small stream also flows in it, bringing a moist breath that makes people can't help but be fascinated by it and feel the beauty of nature.
Slowly stepping forward, Li Yu tightened the Mosin Nagant rifle on his back, and looked at the more than 20 Soviet Red Army soldiers behind him who were carefully observing the surroundings, he showed a smile on his face, pointed to the canyon and said loudly: "Then, comrades, let's build a base here!" ”
"Understood, Comrade Levsky!"
Yuri Marin and the other Soviet Red Army soldiers couldn't help but smile, looking at the canyon at the bottom, they had military knowledge, of course, they knew that they wanted to build a permanent military base, that canyon was simply an ideal place, especially looking at the two towering peaks, it was as if it was a shock from the depths of the soul.
The peaks of the Carpathian Mountains are basically made of stone and earth, and according to Li Yu's geological investigation, it is possible to hollow out the middle, or even build the entire mountain range as a fortress. Especially with the replenishment of various materials, all Li Yu needs is time and manpower, but once the base is built, the migrated Ukrainians have already replenished the human resources.
Gently inserting his hand into the land at the foot of the mountain, although there are a lot of stones, it is not the kind of geology mixed with gravel and soil, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more upturned, and said softly: "This is the starting point of Ukraine." ”
But he didn't be too stunned, just raised his hand high, looked at the soldiers around him, and said loudly: "Now, let's get to work!" A large number of data links were wrapped around the palm of his hand, radiating the surrounding land, and different things were quickly concretized, but Li Yu's voice became more and more high, he clenched his fists and waved them to the sky, and loudly encouraged: "Comrades! For Ukraine! Let's fight for it! ”
