Chapter 199 Contact

All we can do for those martyrs is to move their bodies into a deep ditch and bury them in a hurry. Doing so would at least save them from the Zombie Wilderness and let the beasts be engulfed.

We also thought about bringing their bodies back, but we didn't have the conditions, the main reason is that we are still on the way to find the art troupe, and we don't know when we will go back, and moving forward with the corpses will undoubtedly greatly affect our speed and increase the risk of being discovered by the Vietnamese army. The result of this will undoubtedly bring a lot of uncertainties to the mission, and in the end, we still feel that it is important to save people......

This is often the choice to be made on the battlefield, and usually we also put saving people first, which is not to say that there is no respect for the martyrs, but it is a reality, a reality that the dead cannot be left behind...... We can't change anything about the martyrs who died, but there is still a chance to prevent more soldiers from becoming martyrs. I am sure that those martyrs will understand what we are doing.

As we continued to move forward in the darkness for a few more hours, our pace became slower and slower.

One reason for this is that it is difficult to distinguish the footprints on the road in the dark, and sometimes there is no road at all, which often makes Chen Yiyi not risk a flashlight covered in black cloth.

Another and more important reason is that we are getting closer and closer to our goal...... Although it is a good thing to be close to the target, you must know that the Vietnamese army is also chasing the art troupe, which means that we are more likely to encounter Vietnamese army agents than the art troupe.

This also made Chen Yiyi have to stop after more than ten minutes of difficult tracking in Zuihou.

Company Commander Luo quickly summoned a few of us for a small meeting......

"Here's the thing!" Company Commander Luo lowered his voice and said, "The second squad leader judged that the art troupe should be near here based on the traces, so there are two problems now...... One is how to avoid the Vietnamese army, and the other is how to identify and contact the art troupe. ”

I looked at Chen Yiyi. Some wondered how she had come to the conclusion that the art troupe was nearby. You know, this neighborhood doesn't seem to make much difference to us. It's all a piece of black touching.

I found out later...... People like Chen Yiyi who crawled out of the jungle naturally have a way, and there is more than one way: weeds that have been trampled on the ground, broken branches, and broken kudzu vines...... All of these things can be judged by a careful observation of their breaks, and the time of their breakings can be judged with great gusto.

Of course, these things don't break by themselves, it's people who break them, people who pass by. Therefore, if you judge the time when it was broken, you can also know when people passed through here.

It's just that this trick is easier said than done. It is difficult to do because it is necessary to compare and observe the time from the broken part of the branch.

After a long time, no one answered Lian Commander Luo's question, so everyone turned their attention to Chen Yiyi again.

Chen Yiyi shook her head a little helplessly and said: "If this is a Vietnamese army, then there may be a way, in this case, they use the voice of the animal to contact and identify, but now we have to find the art troupe ......."

Needless to say, we also know the next words, we didn't have an appointment with the art troupe to contact the method, so this trick obviously won't work.

"That'...... It's just a whisper! Liang Lianbing was a little helpless.

But obviously, this is quite dangerous, and it is not necessarily going to have any effect. The reason is that in this darkness both sides are in the dark. If we're whispering in Chinese, okay...... This is undoubtedly telling the Yue devil where we are. And what about the art troupe? They are likely to think that this is a trick by the Yue devils to lure them out and remain silent, after all, there are many Yue devils who can speak Chinese, right?

Therefore, I have to say that this is the next policy, and the result is likely to be that not only will you not be able to contact your own people, but you will cause death.

"Is there no other way?" Company Commander Luo asked, he also knew the danger of doing this, so he would not do it unless he had to.

Then there was silence, there was no prior agreement on the code, and the radio could not contact the art troupe, what else could be done?

"Or ......," Scar said with a frown, "just wait for dawn!" ”

Company Commander Luo looked at the time, then shook his head and denied: "There are still more than four hours before dawn, and we don't have that much time!" ”

After thinking about it, I hesitated and said, "Company commander, can we do the opposite?" ”

"What's the other way around?" Company Commander Luo seemed to be waiting for me to speak, and then asked, "Tell me ......?"

I said, "If we can't call in Chinese...... weishenme can't be called in Vietnamese? ”

Chen Yiyi couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard it: "Can the people of the art troupe understand Vietnamese?" And the more devils can understand Vietnamese, right? What does this call do? ”

In fact, the warrior had the same doubts, and I hurriedly explained: "I mean...... We are not calling the art troupe, but the devils! ”

"Call the devil?" Everyone couldn't help but look at me in surprise.

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "My thoughts are...... The Yue Devil suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, and we all saw 56 corpses on the way, didn't we? At this time, the Vietnamese army was afraid that the troops were insufficient, and they were a little powerless to deal with the art troupe! ”

The surrounding warriors couldn't help but nod, there was no doubt about this. The total strength of the Vietnamese army chasing the art troupe is only more than 100 people, and the two martyrs on the road shot 56 people, so if it is according to this casualty ratio, where are the remaining dozens of Yue devils enough for the troops of the art troupe to fight a few times?

In fact, it should be said that the battle was also a special case, the quality of our PLA combat troops is not as good as that of the Vietnamese army, not to mention the literary and artistic soldiers of the art troupe, not to mention that there are many female soldiers in these literary and artistic soldiers who need to be protected.

Merely...... That battle seems to have somewhat deterred the Vietnamese army, which may be the reason why the art troupe still exists until now.

So what are the Vietnamese army waiting for?

Waiting for dawn? This seemed impossible, and there was no doubt that night combat was more advantageous for the Vietnamese army, who were familiar with the terrain and good at jungle warfare.

So there is only one answer, that is, they are waiting for reinforcements, waiting for reinforcements who can eat the art troupe in one bite.

"So......" After a pause, I continued: "Anyway, now that it's dark, the Vietnamese army can't see our uniforms clearly, we can pretend to be their reinforcements, and call out the Yue devils in Vietnamese...... On the other hand, we don't have to worry about misunderstanding ourselves, the art troupe is now hiding from the Vietnamese army, isn't it? If we call in Vietnamese, it will only make them hide deeper, and we can rest assured that we will deal with the Yue devils. ”

"That's right!" Scar nodded and said: "The current strength of the Vietnamese army should be about the same as ours, let's solve the Vietnamese army's chasing soldiers first, and then how to contact the art troupe to explain that it is not up to us to be happy?" ”

Company Commander Luo thought for a while and said, "You can try, but we have to do a good job of our own identification, otherwise it will be a mess in the fight!" ”

Company Commander Luo's concern is of course justified, because we are unprepared to fight, if we still fight indiscriminately because we can't identify it, and the result is similar to the casualties of the Yue devils, it will be too cost-effective.

However, this problem does not seem to be difficult to solve, just tie a white towel around your arm or something.

Some might say...... Isn't this trick too old? The more devils often use this trick on the battlefield, right?

But that's often the case on the battlefield, and some of the tricks are old, but they're very useful. For example, this white scarf...... We agreed in advance that everyone was mentally prepared, so when we saw the white towel, we were sure that we were our own people. But what about the Vietnamese army? Although they also know that tying a white towel is a way to distinguish friend from foe, they will have a kind of uncertainty in their hearts, and they are not mentally prepared, so they will hesitate in their heads...... It is precisely this hesitation that determines the success or failure of each other's life and death.

So the plan was quickly decided, and since we were preparing for hand-to-hand combat at night, we all loaded our rifles with bayonets in advance, and then lined up along the path to carefully search in the dark.

It's just that it's a little different from the previous plan...... We didn't have a Vietnamese call, we talked in a whisper.

The reason why I did this is because considering what Chen Yiyi said before, the more devils will generally use the cries of insects and birds to connect in this situation...... So, if we still call in Vietnamese: "Comrade! Homosexuals...... Where are you? ”…… That's not too obvious, the more devils can't remember the suspicions.

So we came up with a way to let a few people who can speak Vietnamese go ahead, such as me, Chen Yiyi, and Scar...... The three of us talked in Vietnamese as we walked forward, and we kept our voices in a very low voice for fear of being heard.

The topic of conversation is the corpses we saw earlier. Like what:

"The Chinese soldiers are so hateful that they actually killed so many of our comrades!"

"Yes! Catching these Chinese must not make them feel good! ”

"I just don't know where they're hiding now!"

……

It is conceivable that if the Yue devils found such a force in the dark, the first thing they thought about was that this was their own army, at most, they frowned secretly in their hearts: why was this army so careless, they didn't send out a contact code when they arrived here, and they didn't worry that they would be misunderstood by friendly forces or discovered by the enemy.

Sure enough, after only ten minutes of advancing like this, Chen Yiyi secretly pulled the corner of my clothes in the dark.

I was startled and stopped my mouth, and when I listened carefully, I noticed a few inconspicuous but regular cricket crickets in the grass on the left...... (To be continued......)
