Chapter 985: Closer
At the end of the call, the company commander also walked to Yang Hao's side and said with a smile: "Have you got in touch with your teammates?" ”
"yes."
Getting in touch with his teammates is naturally good news, and Yang Hao is also in a very good mood at this time.
"Not bad. Is there a place where you decided to split up? ”
"There it is."
Yang Hao pointed to a place for the company commander to see: "This is it." ”
The place Yang Hao was referring to was an entrance to the mountainous area, and it was the closest place to the mountainous area during the troops' progress. And this location is actually not too far from Zhaojiagou, and it can also avoid most of the mountains and areas that cannot be passed, and there will be fewer detours, which allows Yang Hao to reach Zhaojiagou faster. According to Yang Hao's prediction, as long as there are no more firefights and troubles, he should arrive in Zhaojiagou in four hours after separating from the troops. Looking at the length of Zhaojiagou, Zhang Tianhai and they should have just left here for a long time, so he could meet them tonight at the latest.
Hopefully, this place will be free of enemy troops. The topography of Zhaojiagou is a long strip, the east and west sides are blocked by mountains, the way out is only in the south and north directions, the middle is narrow and very long, there is a small river in it, the road is rugged, only a part of the central area is inhabited. If an enemy force holds this place, then there is no other direction for you to ∮ to pass through.
Of course, in this case, Zhang Tianhai and they naturally can't get through. And the worst case is to find the enemy at the entrance, so if you want to enter Zhaojiagou, the problem will be very big, so I don't know when I will make peace with Zhang Tianhai and others.
"Hmm."
The company commander nodded: "According to the scheduled plan, it should arrive in two hours." ”
He looked around. He smiled and said, "Ready, let's go on the road." ”
"Okay."
The troops were regrouped and began to march. The troops also have their own tasks, but it doesn't seem that time is too rushed, so the speed of the troops' actions is not particularly fast, but consciously preserves the body. This is actually the best. Reserve the body, so that you can better deal with all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur, minimize the possibility of being defeated by one blow, and also ensure your own combat effectiveness.
Two hours later, many mountains appeared in Yang Hao's sight.
The route the troops passed was about a kilometer from the high mountains and did not come close there. The terrain there was too complicated for people to hide, and there was no need for the troops to take that risk.
And Yang Hao. This is already the first destination for you.
"Alright, let's split up here."
The troops were still advancing, but Yang Hao and the company commander had stopped.
The company commander patted Yang Hao on the shoulder: "Be careful." I asked the Ministry of Intelligence, there was a big battle here last night, there were tanks, and even the ground was scorched. There was also a big scuffle this morning, so there should be a lot of scattered soldiers around here. Be careful on your way and pay attention to everything around the corner. Don't be shaded in the dark. ”
Yang Hao nodded and smiled: "I know, thank you." ”
"Say thank you. That's what I should say. Alright, don't waste your time, let's go. ”
"You also pay attention to safety."
Yang Hao waved his hand, watched the troops and the company commander and others leave, and gradually left his sight, and then sorted out the equipment. Head in the direction where the mountains are.
The rest of the journey was alone, and there was no one to cover him, so he had to be careful. Some of the big roads in his field of vision, Yang Hao didn't have the idea to go at all, but drilled some grass. Occasionally, in places like woods and so on, you will take a path or a mountain road to speed up your movement and get to your destination faster.
It's too exposed, it's morning again, and if there's anyone around it, then these obvious roads are natural traps.
So Yang Hao would rather take more detours, even if he is a little tired, it is much better than walking to a more dangerous place.
Two hours later, Yang Hao saw the corpse of the soldier in a mountainous area ahead.
There are also a lot of large and small craters nearby, some are blown up by grenades, and there are also large craters that are obviously blown up by artillery shells. The corpses were also placed on the ground, and many of them were in a miserable state, and the bodies of nearly one-fifth of the dead soldiers had become charred and blackened, and they could no longer see their original appearance.
There are also some corpses that are not complete, and the parts on the body do not know where they were blown up, so that the blackened ground here is also mixed with a lot of blood red, ammunition and equipment can be seen everywhere, and you can see firearm parts and even intact weapons lying on the ground without walking a few steps.
Bombed tanks, self-propelled guns, infantry vehicles and other vehicles and weapons were thrown on the side of the road, some of which were still in good condition, while others had been blown up and lost their original appearance. All the wreckage of the vehicles was pitch black, and the original color was invisible, and there were many corpses of soldiers lying on the ground nearby, many of which looked like they had been burned alive.
Yang Hao slowly climbed into a pit, set up his gun, and glanced around.
Both the normal mode and the thermal imaging mode were observed, and no trace of anyone nearby was seen. Moreover, the temperature of this battlefield has become very low, and the scorched area is no longer smoking, and it seems that the battle here has been over for a while.
This should be the place where the intelligence said that there was a big scuffle last night. It seems that the battle is indeed fierce, and until now no one has dealt with the battlefield, and there is no living person to be seen.
Yang Hao did not choose to enter this battlefield. He couldn't confirm whether there were any soldiers in this battlefield, and this kind of place was too complicated, Yang Hao guessed that there might be people pretending to be dead corpses and waiting for rabbits, and the pits blown out by the shells made it easier to hide people here. The firepower on his body is not strong, and if he is strafed at close range, if he wants to dodge and counterattack, there is no chance at all.
Fortunately, the coverage of artillery fire also pointed out the approximate scope of this battlefield to Yang Hao. After walking sideways for a while, the road ahead did not look deliberately damaged, and the nearby bunkers were not so complicated, much better than on the battlefield.
On the other side, Zhang Tianhai and others were still in a hurry.
However, because they had to wait for Yang Hao's arrival, everyone didn't go too fast. However, they could not choose other roads, and could only travel on the only path in Zhaojiagou.
The ravine is too narrow inside. The widest part of the ravine is only thirty or forty meters, the river occupies five or six meters, and a concrete road is only more than two meters, which can only allow a car to pass through Guò, and even a tank cannot drive in. The rest of the place is full of rubble, without any good cover, and the rocks there are relatively small, they can move, and it is easy to hurt their feet when they walk on them, so they can only barely move forward on the path.
The peaks on both sides are very steep, and there are few roads that allow people to go up the mountain, and even if there are, they can only reach the position of the mountainside, but they cannot directly climb the peaks to the other side. This also eliminated everyone's idea of crossing the mountain peak and entering the other side of the mountain, so they could only continue to move forward.
There isn't much to hide from this place, so everyone walks carefully. Although they didn't keep their guns on guard, everyone's eyes were always aiming at the mountains on both sides, and Mu Xi walked in the middle, always paying attention to the various sounds that entered his ears and judging the abnormal situation around him.
But it's good that until now, we haven't encountered any enemies, not even friendly troops. There are no traces of vehicles passing on the concrete road, only some dirt from the hooves of horses walking on the road, and the manure left on the road by donkeys, sheep and other domestic animals as they pass by. However, these things seem to have been around for some time, not recently, and it can be said that recently, there have been no people on this road.
Even if there were, there would not be many of them, at least if there were no vehicles passing through here, then the enemy in front would not be on the scale of a single force.
Judging from what is judged now, the previous situation is relatively good. As long as you get out of Zhaojiagou, the front is the northern junction of the mountains and the plain. It is said that the fighting there was fierce, and perhaps in this place, he was able to gather some useful information.
Halfway out of the ravine, a field finally appeared in everyone's eyes.
There is everything in the field, there is wheat, corn, some vegetables and other crops. But there are already a lot of weeds growing in the fields, and the crops are a little wilted, and it is clear that no one has taken care of them for a long time. There are also some earthen and brick houses nearby, but there is no sign of anyone, and even if the meteor turns on the thermal imaging at night, there is no living creature in the field of vision.
"We're resting here."
Zhang Tianhai walked to the front of a family's yard, checked it, and said.
If you have a house, you can rest more comfortably for a while.
The yard is not very large, only about two hundred square meters, a house in front is inhabited, and there is a circle of chicken coops on the right, but there are no chickens in it. On the left, however, is a turret-like building, with three floors and machine-gun muzzles on all sides.
It's an excellent scout position, sheltered from the direct rays of the sun overhead, and at a high enough height to observe a large area of the vicinity. The most important thing is that this place is hidden enough that even if an enemy comes into view, it will not be easy to spot someone here. (To be continued......)
