054 Whisper
They had been reconnoitring for more than a week, gathering a lot of information and drawing a lot of maps, and as long as they were safe enough to survive the first half of the night, when the enemy in the stronghold took over, they could withdraw from this dangerous place and return to the camp.
The camp was located more than 20 kilometers from the enemy stronghold, and if all went well, they could take a good shower in the camp after dawn, change into clean clothes, and even eat a delicious meal of canned beef. For a week, they ate and drank stiff dry food and stinking sewage. Occasionally, small insects like grasshoppers pass by, and they have become a delicacy in their mouths.
1:15 a.m. Hao Sandao looked up at the dark clouds that had just dispersed overhead, and sporadic starlight had already appeared in the night sky; He gently patted his wet hair, opened the box covered with oilcloth, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Check the equipment, prepare to retreat in detachment, Xiao Zhou, you take Wu Dapeng and Zhao Xiaotong to leave first with the information, and Wang Erdan Xie Ming and I will cover you." "Xiao Zhou is Zhou Dingxuan, and after a few days, he is very familiar with Hao Sandao. Zhou Dingxuan understood the meaning of the detachment leaving, in fact, in addition to the map, several of them had already memorized the enemy's stronghold information by heart, except for some fortress maps that needed to be kept, it didn't matter if the others could be destroyed immediately after discovering the enemy, as long as someone could go back alive, it would be considered a success.
Just as Hao Sandao finished speaking, the silent radio began to sound "dripping". Everyone panicked, especially Zhou Dingxuan, he obviously turned off the radio, how could it suddenly ring? Since entering the enemy's controlled sphere of influence, Hao Sandao has strictly ordered the radio to be turned off, not in an emergency, and never to use the radio to prevent it from being detected by the enemy's radar.
Hao Sandao heard the sound of the radio, and glared at Zhou Dingxuan fiercely, under the starlight, Zhou Dingxuan in the dark night clearly felt Hao Sandao's anger. The signal was captured by the enemy, and everyone's lives were all thrown here, and the lives of individuals were small, but the information they carried on their bodies was as heavy as Mount Tai!
Zhou Dingxuan shuddered, and quickly unplugged the power supply, and the sound of the radio stopped abruptly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When Zhou Dingxuan was secretly blaming himself for his negligence, the radio sounded again. At this moment, everyone was scared. There is no power supply and it can still ring, this, what the hell is going on?
Zhou Dingxuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly covered the source of the voice, looked at Hao Sandao with a pleading eye, and said: This time it's none of my business! It's its own ringing! But he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, at that time, there was no such thing as solar cells in China, and it was estimated that this radio could not use that technology, but it sounded without power support!
Hao Sandao was also confused by this sudden change. But he quickly calmed down and instructed Zhou Ling softly: "Pick up, see what's going on, pay attention, don't speak!" Speaking will expose the target! "People who have been soldiers are more courageous (the previously mentioned Liu Wensheng is an isolated phenomenon), these guys are usually used to staying in the sea of corpses and blood, and their nerves have become extraordinarily thick, and in the face of this strange thing, they feel that there is nothing to be afraid of.
Zhou Dingxuan was apprehensive for a while, and then he was also infected by the fearless spirit of the company commander, picked up the microphone and blocked it in his ear, and listened carefully to who was on the other side of the topic, so powerful that he could connect to their lines, and when wiring, Zhou Dingxuan even thought in his heart: Is this the latest new technology of the Soviet Union to support the Vietnamese government? In this case, he can't help but accept it, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and being able to bring this news back is also a great achievement.
But as soon as Zhou Dingxuan heard the sound from the other side of the microphone, after a while, his face turned pale, and he couldn't even hold the microphone steadily, and the microphone rolled out of his hand all of a sudden. He hurriedly hung up the call, trembling all over, and muttered, "How is it possible, how is it possible......"
Hao Sandao was agitated, and said hurriedly: "What's the matter?" Say it. Seeing this Zhou Dingxuan's expression, Hao Sandao thought in his heart, there must be something big in the rear, could it be that the Soviet Union has attacked from the border? This is not very likely, although China and the Soviet Union were at odds with each other, and the Soviet Union either explicitly or implicitly supported Vietnam against China, but the Soviet government would not be stupid enough to directly send troops to directly confront the Chinese army, right? Before Hao Sandao's words fell, the radio sound of "Didi" rang out again. This time, Hao Sandao directly picked up the microphone and "fed" uncontrollably.
There was a "rustle" sound for a while, and then a hoarse voice sounded: "Xiao Zhou, you guys get out of here, I can't leave, hurry, he, they're coming, you can't leave if it's late......" Hao Sandao heard it clearly, and the hoarse voice was his. Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on the tip of Hao Sandao's nose. How, how so? Hao Sandao's mind went blank.
The voice was as piercing as a night owl, and everyone present could hear it clearly. Looking at the disconnected power supply and carefully identifying the voice in the microphone, although it is a soldier who has forgotten his life, the people present are all terrified, even if they are in a desperate situation and surrounded by ten times and a hundred times more enemies, they will fight bloodily to the end without fear, but this voice is so gloomy that they suddenly have goosebumps, this, this is too evil, right?
Hao Sandao put down the microphone heavily with a blushing face, but his teeth couldn't help but "cluck" for a while; The rain stopped for a short time, and the clothes on everyone's bodies were slightly twisted, and they were able to squeeze out the water, and everyone couldn't help but shiver when they heard the sound of Hao Sandao's gritted teeth, they were afraid and cold at the moment, looking at Hao Sandao, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
After Hao Sandao realized that he had lost his temper, he coughed lightly and said: "Don't panic, everyone, the changes inside must be done by the Vietnamese, let's not blame the force!" The original plan remained unchanged, and everyone retreated. Then he muttered softly, "Even if there is anything, with this steel knife on my back, who is afraid of it or something!" ”
Zhou Dingxuan listened to Hao Sandao's words, nodded silently, and motioned to the two soldiers around him to retreat to a designated hill, the Vietnamese did not know how many mines were placed on the ground on that road, and it was undoubtedly self-defeating to walk that road in the middle of the night, but because of that, the defensive forces there were the weakest, and as long as they cut off the barbed wire, they could return to the stronghold controlled by our army.
Zhou Dingxuan was very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, and just after Hao Sandao put down the microphone, he found that a faint fog appeared around him. He secretly shouted in his heart that in this dark night, they could only rely on the faint starlight to distinguish the direction, but together with the fog, that little starlight had long been covered without a trace, in this fog, they did not dare to turn on the lights, the hidden place was only one or two kilometers away from the enemy's stronghold, once the lights appeared, the consequences were very serious.
In order to boost morale, Zhou Dingxuan said to Wu Dapeng and Zhao Xiaotong: "It's foggy, this is more beneficial to our retreat, and the enemy is even more unlikely to find us, everyone follow me carefully, don't step on the mine!" Although Zhou Dingxuan is a recruit in the reconnaissance company, because he is slightly more educated than others, everyone respects him. It was hazy and dark all around, the air seemed to be condensing, there was no trace of wind blowing, and the three people who had just finished the rain and had cold lips and white faces couldn't help but feel a burst of heat, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
The more he walked, the fog became thicker, the thin fog gradually condensed, and everyone seemed to feel that the air around them had become very thick, but Zhou Dingxuan felt that something was wrong the more he walked, as if something was missing, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually spread.
