522 Ambush under the ice

Lin Yuan lightly pointed to the ice surface, and then smiled: "That's where we ambushed. ”

Chen Fei said in surprise: "What? How can you hide an ambush on the ice? There's nothing there to hide. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Who said that we were going to set up an ambush on the ice?" We can set up an ambush under the ice. ”

Chen Fei said in surprise: "Below the ice? It's not impossible, but if it's under ice, you'll need to prepare a lot. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It is precisely because there are so many things that need to be prepared that the enemy will feel that we will not be prepared and attack them unprepared, this is the reason." ”

Chen Fei said: "Okay, let's go back to the headquarters and make a good plan." ”

Lin Yuan said, "Wait a minute, let's go down to the ice first and take a look." ”

Chen Fei asked, "What do you want to see on the ice?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "We have to figure out the situation of this river, including the speed of the water, the thickness of the ice, if the water is too fast, you need to use hooks and other devices to connect yourself under the water, if the ice is too thick, we need to find a way to carry explosives to break the ice." ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he took Chen Fei and a few of his subordinates down to the ice, and he said to the soldier holding a crowbar beside him: "You chisel the ice." ”

The soldier next to him said: "Lin Shuai, the head of the crowbar is flat, such a thing can't open the ice, if you want to chisel the ice, you need to use an ice drill." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Where can there be such a thing?" ”

The soldier said: "There should be one in the house of the villagers by the river, and they use this thing in the winter to open a hole in the ice, and then fish from the river from the hole. ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and then said, "Then you can go and borrow one." ”

The soldier nodded, Lin Yuan waited with the rest of the people, and Chen Fei asked, "What are you going to do with that Popov?" Are you really going to put him back? ”

Lin Yuan said: "I thought so at the beginning, but we won't have much to lose by letting him go, Popov has been ridiculed a lot over there, I'll go back and stir things up, I'll let Popov go and then sneak back, but now I don't need it, after you kill Baroyev, just take advantage of the situation to snatch him back." ”

At this moment, the soldier who borrowed the ice drill came back, holding a "T" shaped iron rod in his hand, showed Lin Yuan a look, and said, "Lin Shuai, this is the ice drill." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Since you have borrowed the ice drill, let's start digging the ice." ”

The warrior then took the top end of the iron rod, which was the horizontal side above the "T" shape, and slammed the pointed side down against the ice, and for a moment the ice splashed everywhere, and the crisp sound was loud in the quiet night sky.

Chen Fei asked, "This voice won't make the enemy suspicious, right?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Probably not, in winter, the villagers will often dig ice holes to fish, and the Russian army should be accustomed to these things." ”

The warrior grumbled as he made holes in the ice, "This ice is so hard!" ”

Lin Yuan looked at Chen Fei and said with a smile: "It seems that you need to use explosives when you get out of the water." ”

After fighting for a while, the warrior felt that his arms were sore, so he replaced the next man, and then several more people in succession, and then smashed the ice open.

Chen Fei looked at the thickness of the ice and said, "It seems that we must use explosives when we get out of the water." After saying that, he put his hand into the water under the ice, tested the flow rate of the water, and said: "It seems that the flow speed of the water is not fast, it must be less than one meter per second, and there is no need for any hook and rope." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Then let's go back, in the command headquarters, let's discuss the matter of the next location." Just when a few people were about to leave, they saw several figures coming from the position of the Russian army on the opposite side, Chen Fei quickly recognized those as Russian soldiers, Chen Fei couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What are they doing here?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I must have heard the sound on the ice, so I came to check, don't worry, they can't think of our ambush plan under the ice." ”

Lin Yuan swaggered forward and said to the Russian soldiers: "Our Lin Shuai has already discussed with your General Baroyev, this is the defense area of the Chinese, you can't come in, go back quickly." ”

When the soldier heard this, he raised his hands and said with a smile: "We are not here to ask for trouble, we heard a voice, and we know that you are fishing in the ice hole, and we want to exchange with you, and we will exchange cigarettes and vodka for your fish." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "You better go back, we are unlucky and we didn't catch any fish." ”

When several Russian soldiers heard this, they left in a huff, and everyone had a false alarm, and then returned to the headquarters.

When the two of them returned to the headquarters, Lin Yuan took out a map and unfolded it in front of him, then pointed to the river and said: "First of all, we have to choose a place to launch the water, the choice of this location is very particular, neither too close to the prisoner of war exchange place, nor too far, if the distance is too close, the Russian army may find that if it is too far, it is very late to catch up with the Russian army." ”

Chen Fei pointed to a place with his finger, and then said: "There is no Russian patrol here, so we can enter the water here, and we will rush to the prisoner exchange site in advance, but we must coordinate the time, our oxygen cylinders can last underwater for three hours, but the temperature of the water is very low, even if we wear cold-proof clothing and waterproof clothing, it is the limit to hold on for an hour." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I will go and coordinate with the Russian side, so you can rest assured." ”

Chen Fei said again: "It is impossible for us to bring too many people, and the Russian army is different, they will definitely have a lot of guard troops, if their number is large, what if we can't withdraw after defeating them?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "This is no problem, I will let them retreat." ”

When everything was ready, three days later, Lin Yuan took Popov to exchange prisoners of war, and Popov knew that he was going to be exchanged back, half sad and half happy.

At this time, on the south side of the Dashiqiao, there were already Chinese troops stationed, Lin Yuan came to a place one kilometer away from the Dashiqiao, and said to the liaison officer of the Russian army: "You go back and tell Baroyev that in order to ensure that there will be no accidents in the process of exchanging prisoners of war, I hope that the troops of both sides will take the midpoint of the Dashiqiao as the boundary, and only 50 guards will be left on both sides, and each will retreat two kilometers." ”

When the liaison officer returned to the Russian army, Baroyev and Ilya were stunned when they heard this request, and Ilya said: "Why are they making this request?" ”

Baroyev laughed: "It's nothing that they make this request? Anyway, we have loaded a sufficient amount of explosives on their side, and when the time comes, they will be dead. ”

Baroyev then agreed to Lin Yuan's request and ordered the troops on the bank of the river to retreat two kilometers.

Ten o'clock soon came, the two sides walked on the bridge, Baroyev looked at Lin Yuan in the distance, and couldn't help but think: "Lin Yuan, today is your death date, even if the bomb can't kill you, we have more powerful tricks." ”
