Liang Chengfu's reconnaissance team acted quickly, and after sending a set of urgent information to the rear through the guò car radio, all the members of the group immediately worked together to take down everything that could be taken down, and then picked up the sapper shovel and began to shovel the snow, and threw the snow directly onto the reconnaissance vehicle, intending to bury the reconnaissance vehicle with thick snow.

The act of shoveling snow to bury the vehicle is just an expedient measure, and I don't expect the other party to find out all the time, it's just a fluke. After all, compared to vehicles, human life is the most important, which is also a thing that is constantly emphasized in the army, so in the case of not being able to escape by car, the troops' requirements are to give up the ordnance or choose to surrender, and the main thing is to save their lives.

However, although the combat rules of the troops say so, whether it is an instructor or someone else, they will privately tell you that these weapons are quite valuable, and that you should not destroy them as a last resort, but try to keep them as much as possible.

Therefore, Liang Chengfu chose to bury it on the spot, just hoping to delay the time when the other party found out.

Perhaps, since the enemy is still five miles away, and the distance is still very far, isn't it okay to just drive the vehicle and escape?

If it was a new recruit, he might have done it a long time ago, but fortunately, the leader of this reconnaissance team was Liang Chengfu, who had rich combat experience!

The reason is simple, the sound of the car starting is too loud, much louder than the sound of the horse moving. Even Liang Chengfu could hear the movement and direction of the enemy's brigade by listening closely, and there was no reason why the enemy couldn't hear the movement and direction of his car.

Once the enemy finds out their direction in advance, they will definitely send cavalry over to reconnoiter the situation.

If the fuel of the car is still sufficient, then these are not a problem at all, the distance of five miles is enough for the vehicle equipped with triangular track wheels to accelerate to 60 miles, and the cavalry will not be able to catch up with them.

But the problem is that the car's fuel is about to bottom out, according to the driver's small money. The car can run for a maximum of ten kilometers, that is, about twenty miles before it has to stop eating, and within this distance, the cavalry of the US army can completely ignore the horsepower and go all out to catch up, and it will soon be able to catch up.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, after the US cavalry saw their vehicles, they simply did not chase them, and felt that they could not catch up. But that's just a possibility, what if people are more serious and have to chase after it?

Therefore, once you drive away in advance, the other party will definitely find yourself, and Liang Chengfu is more inclined to hide on the spot than to bet on the possibility that the other party will not chase.

After all, according to his experience, they came to this hill first, and then heard the sound of marching in the opposite direction through the sound of the wind and the way of listening to the ground. In other words, it was Liang Chengfu who discovered each other first, but the other party did not find themselves, and this enemy found out. is their greatest strength.

When the vehicle was completely covered by the thick snow and formed a large cone-shaped snowdrift, Zheng Bajin, the deputy team leader, used a marching axe to split a tree branch and cut it again. I made a wooden tombstone, and wrote a few words on it with a brush as an inscription, and the name of the inscription. It was written the name of their platoon commander Lin Dongsheng.

After finishing writing, Zheng Bajin inserted the temporary tombstone into the small snow bag, and fixed it with stones and snow, completely making it look like a Chinese-style tomb.

"The tomb of the Lin family's winter life?"

"yes." Zheng Bajin smiled at Liang Chengfu next to him, "Don't you remember whose name to use for a while, just right, thinking of our new platoon leader, he borrowed his old man's name, and he probably won't blame us." ”

"Haha, that's what I said." Liang Chengfu nodded, seemed to be quite satisfied, and then looked left and right, "Well, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's quite like that, Lao Zheng, your skills are good." ”

"Hehe, I won't tell you." Zheng Bajin also smiled, "I was originally a carpenter at home, and it's not a problem to do this, which means that the time is too tight, the tools are not at hand, and the materials are not complete, otherwise, I can do better." ”

"I think that's fine." Liang Chengfu shook his head, "It has to be made into a temporary hurry to be presentable, otherwise, in this wilderness, a grave suddenly appears, and everyone must suspect it." On the contrary, if it is a temporary grave, it is easy to explain, which means that it is a temporary burial, and it will have to come and move the grave in the future. ”

"Well, team leader." Xiao Xu suddenly interjected, "This American doesn't seem to understand our set of rules, on the contrary, you have such a big snowdrift here, which is enough to dazzle the eye, and you have to insert a wooden sign as a tombstone, do you think the other party can't see this place?" Let me say, it's best not to plug anything, that wooden sign is redundant, it's a snake to add to it, it's definitely going to be bad. ”

"You know!" Liang Chengfu glanced at him, and then pointed to the big snowdrift, "Like you said, such a big snowdrift, anyone who sees it will be suspicious, if we don't do anything, they will send someone to check it out, and maybe even dig up the snowdrift to see what's going on inside."

On the contrary, if we make this place look like a grave, it means that there are corpses buried in it, according to our understanding, Americans are also very particular about the dead, so as long as they know that this is a grave, they will not bother, but will not come and take a closer look, you know? ”

"However, the Americans are not us, how can they recognize the graves of China? I've heard that they all put crosses in front of their graves, otherwise, let's make a cross and make a Western-style grave? ”

"You, you, if you don't understand, you won't accept it, okay, I'll teach you to be a good guy today." Liang Chengfu said, "Listen, this Westerner's grave, it's all flat, there is no grave bag, understand?" But without this little bag, how can we cover our vehicles? If you make a Chinese-style grave bag, but insert a cross, fools know that there is a problem, so since we make a grave bag, we have to make a Chinese-style tombstone, make a serious Chinese tombstone, this can bluff people, you know? ”

"But ......"

"Listen to me!" Liang Chengfu interrupted Xiao Xu, "We have dealt with the Americans so much, just as we know a lot about them, they must also know a lot of things about us, such as the appearance of our graves, they must be very clear." So, don't worry about them not being recognized, even if one person can't recognize them. There are so many of them, there is always someone who can recognize them.

Okay, that's the end of the matter, what's the problem, let's talk about it later, now, hurry up and deal with the scene, and then get out of here and find a place to hide! ”

After speaking, Liang Chengfu first picked up a few branches and tied them up to make a temporary broom. began to gently sweep away the nearby traces, and at this moment, the sky was once again falling snowflakes.

"God help me!" Liang Chengfu looked up at the sky that was snowing again, and smiled, "It's starting to snow again, and now, we don't have to worry about it." ”

Indeed, if the snow continues to fall, the traces of their original tossing here will indeed be obscured by the new snowflakes. It won't be obvious that there is a problem.

Finding that others were also watching the sky, most of them were indifferent, Liang Chengfu hurriedly said: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and work." Don't think that if it's snowing, you don't have to sweep the traces, you have to sweep the same! ”

After listening to Liang Chengfu's words, everyone hurriedly picked up the broom that was temporarily made. Carefully sweep up the neighborhood and try to sweep away the traces caused by digging pits and shoveling snow.

When the sweep was almost flat, Liang Chengfu and the others carried a big backpack by themselves. Then, as he retreated, he gently smoothed out the trail with a branch, and walked slowly towards the woods inside the hill.

As Liang Chengfu said, only by entering the woods in the mountains can they hide with the camouflage performance of snow camouflage uniforms, and normally, the march of the army will not stay in one place for too long, and it is unlikely to go up the mountain.

Therefore, as long as they go up the mountain, it will be safe, because it is unlikely that a large army of the enemy will send a large number of men to the mountain immediately, and it is more likely that they will bypass the hill and continue to walk forward, at most stationing a unit here, or send a small force to check the situation and prevent emergencies.

Sure enough, as Liang Chengfu said, when they retreated from the same place for only more than half an hour, a cavalry company of 100 people arrived nearby, and stopped in front of the big snowdrift or camouflaged Chinese tomb made by Liang Chengfu and others.

It should be pointed out here that in this era, the speed of cavalry according to different conditions was roughly divided into 4 types, namely regular foot, fast foot, fast foot and attack foot. As for the speed, according to one minute, it is 100 meters for regular walking, 220 meters for rapid walking, 320 meters for fast walking, and more than 420 meters for assault walking.

Among them, the attack step is also called the sprint step, which is to run at the full speed of the horse, which usually occurs in the final sprint stage, and the speed step and fast step are generally used in the rapid march and pursuit battle, and the normal step is the normal walking speed of the horse.

Therefore, if the five miles in Liang Chengfu's mouth are counted as 2.5 kilometers, if the cavalry runs quickly, it will not take ten minutes at all, and now they have taken half an hour, no, plus Liang Chengfu's time to cover up the traces before, how can it take an hour.

Well, it took an hour for their reconnaissance cavalry to come over, which was really slow enough, but it also showed that the other party didn't notice the situation here, and the thick snow slowed down the cavalry.

In fact, the cavalry company of 100 people who rushed over was just one of many reconnaissance cavalry, and if it hadn't been for the occasional sight of an eye-catching snow bag here, it would not have rushed here.

In addition, the company-based reconnaissance unit not only shows that this unit has a large number of people and deep pockets, but also shows the cautiousness of the other side's commanders, and shows that the other side believes that only a company of men can retreat in time after discovering the situation, and will not be completely annihilated by the other side, so that no news can be transmitted.

Soon, the cavalry company came to the snowdrift that covered the reconnaissance vehicle, but all of them did not dismount, but immediately dispersed and began to stand on guard all around.

When everyone had dispersed their vigilance, a man came out of the row in the very center, and he cautiously rode his horse to the snowdrift, looked left and right, and found that there was no problem, not like a trap, so he got off the horse, and then looked closer.

After looking at it again for a while, and realizing that it was really fine, the soldier nodded backwards, indicating that it was safe here.

It was only at this time that a cavalryman who looked like an officer arrived here, surrounded by the people around him, and then dismounted with the people around him.

"Captain!" The soldier who came to check on the first one immediately saluted, "It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong here, if it's weird, it's just that this snow bag is a little abrupt, and it looks like it's artificial." ”

"You're right, it's artificial. You see, there are still a lot of traces around. The officer, who was called a captain, nodded, then walked up to the little snow bag, looked carefully and said, "Well, if I guessed correctly, this should be a grave, a Chinese's grave." ”

"The grave of the Chinese?" The soldier who came to reconnoiter first was stunned, then looked back again, "Captain." How could the grave be like this? And don't you plant a cross? ”

"Kid, the world is big, not everyone is like us." The captain said, "The Chinese are not religious, and as far as I know, their graves do make a hill bag on the ground as they do now, and then insert a rectangular tombstone in front of it instead of a cross." Well, like this thing here. ”

Speaking of this, the captain pointed to the wooden board in front of the small snow bag that was inserted in the soil and had calligraphy written on it: "Look here. Chinese characters are written on it, although I don't know what is written, but it seems that it should be the grave of a Chinese. ”

"That. If it is a Chinese grave, should we open it and take a look? The soldier suddenly said, "I heard that the Chinese are very rich. And like to accompany the funeral, maybe we ......"

"No way!" The captain immediately waved his hand sternly, "We are soldiers of the glorious Union Army of the United States of America, and proud cavalry, how can we do such dishonorable things?" And you look at this tomb, it's obviously buried in a hurry, don't you think it's very abnormal? ”

"Abnormal? What's out of the ordinary? The soldier said, "Didn't you say this is a Chinese grave, Captain?" The graves of the Chinese are naturally different from ours, they look a little strange, but they are nothing, right? ”

"Don't you know, stupid, what the grave is for? That's where the dead are buried! The captain scolded, "And in this place, except for the damned Chinese invasion army, there are Chinese, I can't think of any other Chinese here, so what is buried in this grave must be Chinese soldiers, which can also be seen from the nearby burial traces, obviously by soldiers."

Since it is the people of the Chinese invading army, with their mobility and their consistent style of cherishing their comrades-in-arms, it is impossible for them to casually abandon the bodies of their comrades-in-arms here, as far as I know, if their comrades-in-arms die, most of them will take the bodies back, hold a mourning ceremony in the barracks, burn them to ashes, and then send the ashes back to their hometowns.

In other words, if there are no special circumstances, the Chinese will not abandon their comrades-in-arms, since they can make the act of abandoning their comrades-in-arms and burying them on the spot, and even do it in such a hurry, I think about it, it seems that there is only one possibility! ”

"A possibility? What is that? The soldier began to get nervous, apparently with some bad premonition.

"Contagion!" The captain said sternly, "Either the plague or the flu, in short, if it is not a highly contagious disease, what reason would the Chinese abandon their comrades and bury them on the spot instead?" ”

"What? Contagious disease? The soldier subconsciously stepped back, a look of fear on his face, "Captain, you, are you sure?" ”

"Not sure." The Captain shook his head, "I'm just speculating. However, the Chinese have that kind of self-walking car, and it is not a problem to take more people to go, since they bury people here, it is likely to be the same as us, it is a sudden illness, and it is a contagious acute disease, so as not to infect more people, otherwise, I don't understand why they would do this. ”

"However, don't the Chinese bring a lot of panacea, how can there be infectious diseases?"

"China's panacea is not really a panacea, but it is more effective for some diseases, and they are powerless for some diseases, especially some diseases that develop rapidly. The captain shook his head, "Okay, leave it alone, notify the troops, get around here, speed up, and move on!" Since the Chinese can come here, it means that the surroundings are no longer safe! Cheer up the lads and give me a little vigilance! Remember, our mission is to scout, not to dig graves! ”

"Yes! Captain! As soon as the soldier saluted, he quickly ran to his horse, got on his horse, and quickly passed the order to the rear.

Soon, the cavalry regrouped, and then all of them bypassed the small snow bag like a grave and continued to gallop forward. (To be continued......)
