Chapter 629: Investigation

When Luo Wenbing and his brothers advanced to less than six hundred meters away from the German defensive hill, they could no longer advance, because the front was bare even against the hillside, which seemed to have been specially cleared by the German army, and on the left side of the road was an endless field, and the wheat planted in the field had been harvested, and it was bare that there was no way to hide.

Luo Wenbing squatted on the ground and made a gesture to the back, and everyone squatted down, and the soldiers behind him guarded the surroundings with rifles.

Rowan used a telescope to observe the opposite hill for a few minutes, and within the field of vision, he could see that the Germans had dug three lines of defense on the hillside, at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside and at the top of the mountain, the trenches were not in a straight line, some were in front and some were behind, and the trenches supported and covered each other. According to the length and number of trenches, it is possible to estimate the strength of about a battalion on the opposite side of the road within the field of vision, but this is only visible in sight, and at the bend of the road ahead, the next hill is blocked, and the situation behind the next one cannot be seen, and it is necessary to find out how many German troops are still defending.

At this time, there was a sudden roar in the sky, and everyone looked up at the sky, only to see more than a dozen fighters flying from the north, and the north was now occupied by the German-Austrian forces.

Luo Wenbing's face changed greatly, and he immediately said to the warrior viper behind him: "Quick, walkie-talkie!" ”

The viper immediately turned around, Luo Wenbing picked up the microphone on the walkie-talkie on the viper's back and pressed a button, which was quickly connected, and he immediately said: "I am Luo Wenbing of the Forward Investigation Office, and fifteen enemy fighters are flying in front." Immediately notify the troops to do a good job of concealment and air defense! ”

"Roger!"

Luo Wenbing, who put down the microphone, breathed a sigh of relief, there was about a dozen miles from here to the forward troops behind. Now that the news has been obtained from there, as long as it is handled in a timely manner. It is still possible to do a good job of concealment and air defense, it depends on the commander's deployment and reaction capabilities.

Ignoring the enemy fighters for the time being, the current task is to reconnoiter the enemy situation in front, Luo Wenbing turned his head and looked around, except for the barren mountain on the right side full of dense thorns, shrubs and plants, there is basically nowhere to hide, it seems that if you want to detect the situation behind the opposite corner, you have to turn over the barren mountain next to it.

Luo Wenbing gestured a few times to the soldiers behind him, and nodded when he saw everyone. He pulled out a knife from his waist and slashed through the thorns and plants on the hillside, clearing a way out. This kind of mountain knife is only equipped with the Snow Wolf special forces and the most elite reconnaissance units.

Relying on the extremely sharp knife of the mountain, Luo Wenbing forcibly carved a path from the slope of the mountain overgrown with dense thorns, shrubs and plants to the ridge.

It took nearly half an hour for the group to reach the ridge, and surprisingly, although there was no foothold on the slope at all, there were almost no thorns and other plants on the ridge, only trees, and it was very sparse, so they could easily walk through it.

At this moment, there was another roar in the sky. Luo Wenbing and the others looked up, it was an airplane, a group of planes that flew over half an hour ago, and they were returning from the Chinese army at this time. Look at the number, it's half less than before, and the half that is less should have been shot down. You must know that the Chinese troops are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, and there are two enemy fighters returning with black smoke coming from behind their butts.

Kuroko found that the number of enemy planes was reduced by half. And there are two of them that are left with black smoke and said: "It seems that our forward troops reacted quickly. The losses of the other side are not small, and I don't know what the losses of our army are! ”

Luo Wenbing inserted the mountain knife into the leather scabbard and said: "Now is not the time to pay attention to these, our characters are to detect the situation of the German army in front, and then everyone be careful, there may be German troops on this mountain beam, but it may also be that the German army just thinks that this is full of thorns and cannot be garrisoned." Anyway, be careful, Kuroko, you open the way ahead, let's go! ”

Going up the mountain just now, Luo Wenbing has been opening the road in the front, splitting a path and coming out consumes a lot of physical strength, and he needs to recover, so let Heizi open the road in front.

"Yes!" Kuroko agreed, and walked in front with a rifle in the back.

"The others follow!"

After walking about 400 meters, the sunspot in front of them stopped, and everyone squatted on the ground and hid behind trees.

Luo Weibing slowly touched Heizi's side and found that there was no road ahead, and the too dense thorns blocked the way again, Luo Wenbing turned his head to look around, and then looked up, he took down the binoculars and handed it to Heizi and said: "I estimate that this place is not far from the bend of the road, you climb the tree and see if you can observe the situation opposite the bend!" ”

"Good!" Kuroko agreed, took the binoculars and hung them around his neck, then carried the rifle on his back, climbed a relatively tall tree beside him, and climbed up very nimble like an ape.

When Kuroko stopped when he climbed to one of the branches at the top, he looked ahead, and quickly looked down and thought that Luo Wenbing below gave a thumbs up, indicating that he could see the situation on the other side.

Kuroko picked up the binoculars and observed the situation on the opposite side of the bend, then took out a small notebook and pencil from the pocket of his combat uniform with his other hand, and drew what he saw on the small book after observing for a while, and after five or six minutes, he slipped down from the tree, handed the small book to Luo Wenbing and said: "I saw it very clearly on the tree, I drew it all on it!" ”

Luo Wenbing took the small notebook and looked at it, the small notebook was clearly drawn, the hill opposite the bend was full of secret German fortifications, and after the bend there was a triangular open field, the top of the triangle was sandwiched by two hills, a road passed through the middle, and on the hills on both sides you could see the defensive trenches and fortifications dug by the German army everywhere.

"Shhhh

However, Luo Wenbing found that the area of 200 meters in front of the hill where they were located was blank, so he asked: "Heizi, the area of 200 meters on our side is full of thorns, and we have not found the German position?" ”

Kuroko shook his head and said: "It's not that I didn't find it, but I can't see it, although this number is high, it's impossible to see the situation on the hillside two hundred meters in front of me, unless we cut out another road to check it out!" ”

Hearing this, Luo Wenbing put the small book into his pocket, and then threw the rifle to the sunspot, he personally climbed the tree to observe again, the situation he personally observed was similar to what the sunspot saw, the German army deployment situation drawn on the small book was exactly the same as what he saw, and the sunspot's observation was still very careful!

Luo Wenbing slipped down from the tree, thought for a while and said to the others: "I still want to cut a way to the front to see clearly, otherwise I don't worry, if there are no German troops on the back slope two hundred meters ahead, if there are German troops, then our men and horses are likely to suffer a big loss!" ”

Heizi said: "Then go, I'll just go, you guys rest here and wait for me!" ”

Luo Wenbing took out the mountain opening knife and said: "The two of us will go together, so that there is a response and cover, and the others will be on guard in place, waiting for us to come back here!" ”

The other soldiers all nodded, and each found a place to hide and guard according to the principle of fighting, Luo Wenbing took a mountain knife to chop thorns in front to open the way, and Kuroko covered him with a rifle in the back.

This kind of dense thorns is too difficult to clean, after half an hour, Luo Wenbing and Heizi advanced a hundred meters, according to Luo Wenbing's estimate, another hundred meters is the back of the hillside, if you use the mountain knife to cut the thorns at this time, it is possible that the German army that may exist on the northern slope can hear the sound, so Luo Wenbing took out the tactical gloves and put them on his hands, and used the mountain knife to remove the thorns to the sides, and bent them to clear a passage, so as not to make a sound. He usually doesn't wear tactical gloves, but now that the smell is elevated, it will feel very hot when he wears tactical gloves, and only in this case does he wear gloves to prevent the back of his hand from being scratched by thorns.

The two of them gently advanced another fifty meters or so through the thorn bushes, a distance that took them another half an hour, not only to protect themselves from being stabbed by the thorns, but also not to make a sound, so they could only move slowly, and slowly.

When he was only about fifty meters away from the back of the hillside, Luo Wenbing heard the sound of talking, and he immediately squatted down, and the black characters behind him also squatted down when he saw this.

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Wenbing made a few gestures to Kuroko, meaning that when he heard someone talking in front of him, he asked Kuroko to stay where he was, and he himself advanced a distance ahead to see if he could see the situation on the hillside.

Kuroko also knew that now that the two of them were advancing together, there would be a great chance of making a noise, and it would be easy to be discovered by the Germans, so he nodded in agreement, and gestured that he would wait here for Luo Wenbing to come back.

Luo Wenbing continued to move forward, he was very careful with every movement, constantly using the mountain opener to remove the dense thorns, and then finding dry branches to fix them, so as to leave a passage that would allow him to return without making a sound.

After advancing more than 20 meters, he listened carefully for a few minutes, he knew that he could not move forward any further, and if he advanced further, he would definitely be noticed by the Germans in front, so he looked left and right, and found that there happened to be a tree next to him, and he was about to insert the mountain knife into the scabbard, and the whole person slowly climbed to the branch.

The effect of the distance was really different, at this time he was only twenty meters away from the top of the hill in front of him, and he climbed to the branch of the tree just enough to see the situation on the hillside in front of him.

There were indeed Germans on this hillside, and the Germans did not clean up this thorny hillside on a large scale, but divided it into three echelons, respectively at the foot of the mountain, at the mountainside and on the top of the mountain thirty meters laterally to clear a trench, the Germans hid in the three horizontal trenches cleared, the plants behind them stretched out to block the top, if it was not for his closeness, even if the reconnaissance plane did not stop in this area, it may not be able to see the mystery here.
