Tieling rock, dense forests, torrential rain and strong winds, and the sound of war horses on the waterside of the wasteland.

The fire is united, and the sky is full of red.

Comrades! Ruizhi is afraid of the late waves of Songjiang.

Get up! Courageously charged, day by day, recovering the northeast, the sky dawned, and the glory surged.

……

Humming the majestic "Camping Song", the warriors walked briskly along the coast on the eastern side of Kamchatka. The terrain of Kamchatka is very complex, and even the local natives often get dizzy in the mountains, so the best route is by the sea. There are only some sections that are difficult to pass, and you have to go around into the mountains.

On the coast of Kamchatka, there is a special stone called pumice, which can float on the surface of the water after drying. This surprised the fighters.

But what surprised the fighters even more was yet to come. When it was time to rest, the warriors sat around the beach and ate dry food. Suddenly, there was a loud sound like a train whistle on the sea, and someone shouted: "The Sea Dragon King has appeared, the Sea Dragon King has appeared!" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the sea, only to see that a fountain more than ten meters high appeared on the surface of the sea. To be honest, everyone was a little confused, although the political commissars and instructors all claimed that there were no ghosts and gods in this world, and there was no dragon king, but hearing was false, seeing was believing, and some timid people were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed to the "Dragon King".

Seeing this scene, Ulyanov and several other "hairy bears" who acted as guides laughed. Probably feeling a little rude, Ulyanov hurriedly stopped smiling and explained: "Don't be afraid, everyone, that's not a dragon. It's a whale! ”

Chief of Staff Zhao was surprised and said, "There is such a big fish? ”

Ulyanov replied: "Oh, it's a blue whale, to be precise, it's not a fish, it's a mammal that lives in the ocean!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as the water was sprayed, a gray-black behemoth jumped up from under the water, causing the soldiers to exclaim again. To everyone's surprise, the big one was followed by a small one, which looked very cute. At that time, people didn't know that there was a word for cuteness. But human nature is the same. The appearance of the little blue whale quickly freed everyone from the fear of the unknown.

"Quick. Shoot it down! ”

Without waiting for Chief of Staff Zhao to speak, photographer Shaq had already snapped several photos, one of which was Chief of Staff Zhao and Division Commander Zhang standing on the seaside, and two blue whales were playing in the distance. This photo later became a symbol of the Northern Front. The original photos were even sold at a sky-high price.

After two days of walking. The coastline begins to steepen. Chief of Staff Zhao and the two division commanders discussed it. It was decided to go to the mountains instead. The northern part of Kamchatka is higher and mostly tundra, but the further south you go, the warmer it gets. Meadows and forests have also increased. Not only larches and spruces, but also birch, aspen and willow trees.

The bushes on the shore are full of honeysuckle and wild roses, and the branches of bilberry and water bilberry are full of red fruits. Various butterflies flutter up and down among the flowers.

This kind of atmosphere close to their hometown made the soldiers unhappy, and the singing became louder, and in a trance, everyone even had a feeling of returning to their hometown.

Bang! A loud bang came suddenly. The fighters hurriedly dispersed and lay down, and took their guns and loaded them, ready to fight back at any time. The whole process took only three seconds. Originally, those Russian woolly bears still looked down on the "soil buns" of the Anti-Japanese Federation, but at this time, they couldn't help but be impressed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! It rang out a dozen times in a row, but it didn't seem to attack them. This made everyone a little puzzled, and they looked around the mountains, but found nothing.

Chief of Staff Zhao asked in a deep voice, "Where is the gun?" ”

Master Zhang guessed: "It seems to have come from the hillside over there, but the gunfire is very dull, and I can't tell what kind of gun it is." ”

"Maybe it's a musket, I think it's the natives hunting."

"You don't need so many guns for hunting, it's possible that our vanguard reconnaissance force has clashed with the natives!"

"Yes, I don't rule out this possibility, get in touch with them immediately!"

……

The Kamchatka suddenly gestured a few times and said a few words, and as a result, the Russian "hairy bears" and the Russian interpreters of the Anti-Japanese Federation laughed loudly. Ulyanov explained: "The Kamcha guide said that the goats were fighting, so we don't have to worry. ”

When everyone heard this, they were speechless. Everyone is a battle-hardened hero, listening to this gunshot, it is clear that it came from three miles away, why is the sound of goats fighting so loud? In order to be safe, Chief of Staff Zhao still ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and made detailed arrangements for various possible situations, such as what to do if the Russian army was defeated, what to do if it encountered the natives, and what to do if it encountered the Japanese army. At the same time, the second division, which was following behind, was informed so as not to be caught off guard.

"Quick, hurry up!"

As soon as they heard that there was going to be a war, the soldiers suddenly became vigorous, and the mere three-mile road was really nothing. Soon, the large force converged with the reconnaissance unit that was resting at the front. Strangely, as soon as they arrived, the strange "gunfire" stopped.

Zhao Xiaoyang, the commander of the reconnaissance company, ran over and saluted: "Chief of staff, division commander!" ”

Division Commander Zhang asked solemnly, "What happened to the gunfire just now!" ”

Company Commander Zhao hurriedly said: "Report to the division commander, it is indeed a goat fighting!" ”

Master Zhang didn't believe it at all, and scolded angrily: "Nonsense, do you think I haven't seen a goat? Dare to panic to report the military situation, be careful that I lock you up! ”

Company Commander Zhao had no choice but to hand a pair of binoculars to Division Commander Zhang.

Division Commander Zhang took the letter suspiciously, and saw a large group of "goats" running towards the opposite hillside, and only stopped on the sunny hillside after making sure that they had not caught up. If there's anything special about these "goats", it's that their horns are extraordinarily large, at least 1.5 meters long, much larger than their entire heads.

Company Commander Zhao explained: "What I saw just now was the sound they made when they collided with their horns. If you don't believe me, take a look again. ”

It's time for dinner. Division Commander Zhang let the troops rest here, and at the same time debated the truth and falsehood.

Sure enough, after the group of "goats" rested for a while, conflict broke out again. First, a large ram tried to drive the other rams away, but it didn't work well. From time to time, some of the more physical rams clashed with the chief, and both sides struck each other with their large horns on their heads, and the bang was very loud, like the sound of old muskets.

Chief of Staff Zhao and Division Commander Zhang looked at each other and muttered, "This place is really a bit evil. There are still such sheep in the world! ”

Alyosha, a Russian guide, looked at it and said: "This should be the Siberian bighorn." I didn't expect it to be on Kamchatka too! ”

This bighorn sheep is indeed an interesting animal, it is the same genus as the goat, but it is a different species. When the bighorn sheep is in heat, the ram begins to woo the ewe, which is already in turmoil. Sometimes a dominant ram will manage to separate the ewe from the ewe in heat. Drive them to the edge of a cliff where no other ram can tease them. Keep it for yourself. Usually at this time. Other rams will challenge the leader for the right to mate.

The funniest thing is that when a ram takes a fancy to a certain ewe (I wonder what their aesthetic standards and G-spot are?) After that, he would pout at her. Meaning: Mei Yang Yang, let's roll the sheets together?

If the ewes also pout in response, then the two sides will temporarily leave the herd and find a place where there are no sheep to do what they like, and the following is omitted a hundred words......

If several rams pout at the same ewe at the same time, a scramble is inevitable. The ram will kick the opponent first to show his strength. The first kick is usually kicked by the dominant sheep. After showing its strength, some rams that pouted to the ewes would retreat to the side in amusement: Brother, I quit, bless you and sister-in-law!

However, there are also those who do not believe in evil, and there are usually two or three rams in a herd that are about as strong as the leader, and this is about to break out into a battle for dominance.

"Second brother, do you really want to turn against me for a ewe?"

"Big brother, don't say anything, let's see the real chapter in the corner!"

……

The two rams will then leap up and slam into each other until one of the scalps bleeds down. Bang, bang, bang! This kind of rare scene, everyone really has never seen it, and they applauded one after another. The two rams were taken aback, and seeing that the warriors had no intention of coming, they turned their heads and fought again.

Ulyanov suddenly picked up a Chuntian rifle and walked towards the valley below.

Chief of Staff Zhao hurriedly shouted: "Hey, Ulyanov, where are you going?" ”

Ulyanov raised the gun in his hand and said proudly: "I heard Alyosha say that those bighorn sheep taste good, I'll go and get some game for everyone and come back!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhao shook his head solemnly and explained: "I'm sorry, Ulyanov, I'm afraid this won't work. You are not a free sailor now and must submit to our military administration. ”

Ulyanov walked back with some dissatisfaction, spread his hands and asked, "What are you doing?" Are you worried about being discovered by enemy forces? However, according to the report of the reconnaissance company, there was no trace of the enemy within ten kilometers of the vicinity! ”

Master Zhang waved his hand and said, "That's not the reason. Before leaving, our Commander Zheng of the Second War Zone had ordered that unless forced to do so, we should not hunt wantonly. We are not short of food now, so according to military regulations, we can't shoot these bighorn sheep. ”

Ulyanov was puzzled: "Oh my God, why do you have to make such strange military regulations!" Is it to save bullets? ”

"It's not surprising, it's not a bullet saver." "Many of these animals are unique to Kamchatka, they have survived here for tens of thousands of years or more, and we can't make them extinct because of our arrival," Chief of Staff Zhao explained. Then the descendants will say, look, there is Kamchatka, there used to be many kinds of animals, but when an army passed by, they disappeared. ”

Ulyanov smiled helplessly and said: "Well, this reason really does not allow me to object. ”

The Kamchatka guide suddenly bowed deeply to Chief of Staff Zhao and them, spoke a few words in native language, and then thanked them in Russian. It turns out that the natives of the Far East are in awe of nature. There is strict self-discipline for fishing and hunting, and there is never indiscriminate fishing and killing, which is undoubtedly a very simple and advanced idea.

Kamchatka is indeed a paradise for animals, and after seeing the strange bighorn sheep, the warriors encountered many animals on the march that they had never seen before or rarely seen. There are huge Kamchatka brown bears. Steller's sea eagles, which are surprisingly large and have a wingspan of 2.5 meters, are moose, elk, reindeer, snow sheep, mink, sable, arctic fox, blue fox, silver fox, black-capped marmot, muskrat, Canadian beaver, Kamchatka jay, mountain eagle, hazel grouse, salmon and so on. As for the wide variety of birds, there are almost everything, and there are countless of them.

Chief of Staff Zhao is not completely unsympathetic, and after being confirmed, he asked the cooking squad to catch a lot of salmon from the river for the soldiers to taste and satisfy their hunger. Kamchatka's rivers are not polluted, and salmon live in almost every river, and eating 10,000 of them will not cause them to go extinct. And these guys haven't seen the power of humans yet, and they can catch them almost empty-handed. The brown bears even fed and rolled in the river.

After a full meal. The large force continued to advance southward. They had to climb over a snowy mountain. As a result, the temperature began to drop sharply again, but fortunately, the Yankees provided very good winter clothing, which was said to withstand the cold of minus 20 degrees.

As he was walking, a herd of moose suddenly rushed down the mountain. It wasn't long before the snow goats (also a very strange sheep) began to flee from the top of the mountain. The fighters were taken aback. Panic and pick up arms. Fortunately, the moose and snow sheep did not rush into them. It's about taking the road away.

Ulyanov was taken aback and quickly asked the guides: "What happened on the mountain, is there going to be an avalanche?" ”

The snow-capped mountains of Kamchatka are due to their high altitude. It's steep again, so avalanches often occur. Therefore, it is necessary to have locals to lead the way, otherwise it is easy to fall into great danger.

The Russian guide Alyosha shook his head and said: "The terrain here is very flat, it should be unlikely, but snow sheep rarely come down the mountain, something must happen." ”

When Chief of Staff Zhao heard this, he hurriedly ordered: "Inform all troops to be vigilant." ”

The Kamchatka guide suddenly fell to his knees with a strange face, muttered a lot in the native language, and then said a few words to everyone in Russian.

Zhang Haiyan said strangely: "What did he say? ”

Chief of Staff Zhao understood a few words of Russian and translated: "He said that the mountain god in front of him was going to be angry, and suggested that we kneel down and accept the blessing of the mountain people." ”

Zhang Haiyan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean that the mountain god is angry?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a loud bang suddenly sounded ahead, and a huge pillar of smoke spewed out from the top of a mountain, rushing to a few hundred meters into the air. In the smoke, you can faintly see the lava flow ejecting from the top of the mountain.

Ulyanov hurriedly said: "Oh my God, it turned out to be a volcanic eruption!" ”

"Grandpa Mountain God is angry, Grandpa Mountain God is angry!"

Many Chinese soldiers were also frightened and kowtowed to the volcano in the same Kamchatka model. It may be that the scene of the volcanic eruption is so terrifying that even the political commissars and instructors are a little dazed and can't bother to stop this "feudal superstition" activity. Hey, the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation arrived in Kamchatka and were completely destroyed. Of course, those Russian woolly bears are no better, although they do not kowtow, but they are also two wars. After all, in the face of this natural power, people are too small.

Chief of Staff Zhao was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I didn't expect to catch up with the volcanic eruption, will this have an impact on our march?" ”

Fortunately, several guides said that there was no big problem, and they took this issue into account when choosing the road, so the troops did not enter the danger zone.

The Kamchatka volcanic complex is one of the most famous volcanic areas in the world, with a very high density, with 29 active volcanoes alone (28 are also said, and one may have begun to fall silent). And these volcanoes, which vary in type and character, make up the bizarre landscape of Kamchatka. Many volcanoes are even more beautiful than Mount Fuji in Japan.

However, everyone was frightened by the eruption, and they didn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery nearby, so they hurriedly left the volcanic area.

Unlike the colder climate on the mountain, the temperature rises sharply as soon as you get off the mountain. The fighters soon became sweaty and asked to take off their coats before leaving. Chief of Staff Zhao couldn't help but complain to the guide: "It was so cold just now, and now it's hot to death, why is the temperature difference so big?" ”

The guide explained: "In front of you is the Kamchatka Valley, which is the hottest place on the Kamchatka Peninsula, about 25 degrees. ”

Everyone was speechless when they heard this, they were still wearing thick winter clothes at this time! 25 degrees, that's really going to be a life. There was no way, everyone had to take off their coats, but this kind of leather jacket is also troublesome. The Kamchatka guide said that there was no need to wear such thick clothes for a long way ahead, so Chief of Staff Zhao decided to choose a place in the valley area as a supply point.

After a little further walking, we finally entered the valley. The temperature here is really high, there is moisture everywhere, and the fighters are sweating profusely just wearing tactical vests. One of the soldiers accidentally fell and suddenly exclaimed, "The water is hot, the water is hot!" ”

Everyone didn't believe it at first, and they reached out to touch it, and sure enough, it was very hot, and the water in some pools was even hot!

The Russian guide Alyosha said with a smile: "This is the famous hot spring valley of Kamchatka, if you are not in a hurry, I think you can let the soldiers take a hot bath here." ”

Where there are volcanoes, there are often hot springs, as is the case in Kamchatka, and many of the springs here are rare self-geysers, there are 85 hot geysers alone, and there are also rare geysers. One of the most spectacular is the "Giant Spring", although the eruption time of this spring is not long, but it is very strong, first the spring water fills the outlet, and then bubbles and boils, the most huge water column suddenly rises in the air, the spray height can reach 10~15 meters, and the whole river valley is shrouded in clouds and mist. Suddenly, the river is murmuring, the spring water is bubbling, steaming, and the underground rumbles, which is thrilling. In the area of the tributaries of the Shunaya River, where geysers are dense, the springs are bursting one after another, and the clouds and mist are another scene.

The soldiers had not taken a hot bath for a long time since they set out on the expedition, and they didn't feel cold before, but now they felt uncomfortable when they sweated.

Division Commander Zhang said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, let everyone wash it in batches, otherwise you will be able to smell a foul smell from afar." When the time comes, there is no need to shoot, and the smoke will also smoke the enemy to death. ”

Chief of Staff Zhao quipped: "Okay, we should be humane and let the soldiers quickly destroy the biological and chemical weapons on their bodies!" ”

The warriors cheered when they heard this, and there were no women here anyway, so they took off their essence and jumped into the hot springs. Fortunately, there are a lot of hot springs here, otherwise 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers would have to wash this place into an ink pool.

After taking a good shower, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Chief of Staff Zhao pointed to a simple map drawn by local Russians and said: "The port of Ust-Kamchatsk is not far from us, and I intend to send a small force through this narrow valley to cover the movement of our large army." ”

Several guides looked at it and thought it was feasible. Only the Kamchatka guide's face changed dramatically, and he shook his head violently, probably in a hurry, and said a lot in the native language, and gesticulated at everyone.

Guide Alyosha said with a solemn face: "Shekan said that there are demons in that narrow valley, and you can't go from there!" (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you very much for the monthly ticket voted by galantway and stinky dog zj, and XXX horizontal, you are the first local tyrant that the mountain people have met, hehe! But this book is not well written, and it is really deserved. Alas, I won't say anything superfluous, let's see the action later!
