I don't know what happened to this veteran, but we can't interfere with what Lao Song wants to do, so we have to get the statue back first.

"I'm going to take a good look at my mom and dad and my brothers when I go back, this thing is so expressive!"

"Okay, okay, you've carved a stone statue and you're immortal! Brother, this stone statue of yours is simply heavy to death! Zhang Gui hugged my stone statue and complained.

"Okay, I haven't even remembered to get a stone statue with Liu Yuwei, and Yang Li didn't say anything serious."

"Who said that? I'm so dead that I can't lift it anymore! Yang Li hugged the statues of the two people and said expressionlessly.

Everyone giggled and returned to Shihua Accord with the statue, and Xiao Lei was already preparing lunch for us.

When it was almost time to eat, Lao Song returned to the hotel, sat down silently and looked at a few of us and said, "This place is indeed a big problem. ”

"What did you spot, veteran?" I looked at Lao Song and asked.

"There are 384 rooms in the whole village, 192 people, all of them are over 50 years old, and there is only one 10-year-old child, which is the dog you are talking about, and there are more than 100 people over 60 years old, all of whom are stone-throwers. But I looked at them one by one, and I was sure that all of them were men who had military experience, and more than 80% were men. Although they are all very old, many things are engraved in the bones when they are soldiers, and their body movements will never change even if they have been out of the army for many years. ”

"So that means that the people here are all military?"

"And these people are not just soldiers, they are veterans with actual combat experience! Some of the people I saw as I walked around here just now: the way they looked at me, their angles, their postures, all with the sensitivity of a veteran, they weren't ordinary veterans, they were at least scouts before they were discharged, and they don't know why...... They gave me a very dangerous feeling......"

"Very dangerous? Even if they were all Rambo-level special forces back then, they are already old now. I was puzzled and said, "And it's all this age, is it still a threat?" ”

"Rambo? If that kind of guy met me back then, how many would die! Lao Song said disdainfully.

"Don't underestimate the elderly, what is a veteran? A veteran is a person who can make the most correct response at the fastest speed at a critical moment, which is called experience: this will definitely not change as your body gets older: you two are young, Zhang Heng and Zhang Gui, you are both cultivators of the Zhang family's physical arts, and I may not be able to beat you if I am older than fighting. But if we all have guns in our hands, then I promise you and I will go head-to-head 100 times, and you will be the ones who die! ”

"And I've just taken a big turn around this town, and I've found that this place is very suitable for street fighting: some places are just a mess of shelters and bunkers built specifically for street fighting, etc.: you can't see this, only I, a veteran, can find out, it seems that I really came to the right place this time!"

When I said this, I felt a burst of excitement in Lao Song's eyes: it was as if he had seen an old lover......

"Old Song, be careful, if they are all on the same level as you here, in case you are overshadowed, it will be a big deal." I shook my head and said

"Don't worry about me." Lao Song smiled and pulled out a piece of paper, which was actually a sketch drawn in pencil: the terrain here.

The drawing is very simple: basically some line segments of the route and the square representing the house, if it is the second or third floor, it will be marked with numbers, it looks simple and practical, and there are a lot of marks and symbols on it. Although I can't read it, it should be marked as a cover, ambush, etc.

"When you used to practice as a scout, you copied this map and brought it with you, and I also found two special places here. Here and here, respectively. ”

Lao Song pointed to the two points of Shihua Village, one south and one north.

"This is the commanding height of the whole village in the north, and there is only a small road behind me to go up, and there are two old men watching when I go to the place, and there are people on the side, and the defense is very tight. This is the largest house in the village, it used to be the village grain depot, and there are many villagers in that place who stand day and night, I can't get close, but they must be guarding something. ”

I looked at the map and looked at Lao Song a little suspiciously: "We have also investigated this small village before, and confirmed that this is a naturally formed village, how can it be that the people in the village were once soldiers?" ”

"Don't believe the broken information you went to investigate, believe my vision, tonight we will go to that commanding height to see what is there, and tell the lurking team outside to find a way to come in, I'm afraid this place will not be peaceful at night."

There is no way, for the time being, we can only trust Lao Song's gaze.

In the evening, Lao Song and I came to the vicinity of the commanding heights on the north side of the village.

It's still the middle of winter, the breath is full of white mist, and the cold dogs in the whole village can't see one, I wore thick winter clothes, and I touched out with Lao Song and the two.

I also came out at night last time, but I didn't have any special feelings, but this time it was different: I brought the special equipment that Meng Yun found: military night vision devices and infrared imaging devices.

Nor does it guide Meng Yun to get these military-grade things somewhere: night vision devices can make use of limited light to let you see as much as possible, and infrared imagers can make all things with heat visible: even if a mouse has been on the floor under your feet, you can see clearly.

Although it looks ugly to wear, but after trying the effect, I feel that fighting with people at night with this thing is like playing a game and plugging in: I can see you, you can't see me!

And Lao Song is even more exaggerated!

Meng Yun put this thing on him, and his old man pretended to be forced: "My old man doesn't need this thing!" I can also smell the oil on enemy guns with my nose at a distance of several tens of meters! Squat on the ground and listen to it, and you will know who is coming from the other party and what weapons are carrying......"

As a result, Meng Yun was annoyed, so she directly put this thing on Lao Song's head and then turned on the switch to let him see the situation outside...... Old Song was stunned.

After looking at the darkness outside for 5 minutes, the thermal imaging device was hot (this thing can't be used for a long time) before it was taken off.

Old tears are rampant.

"I said, veteran, why are you crying?" I looked at Lao Song puzzled and asked.

Lao Song sighed, stroked the thing gently, looked at me and said with a very regretful expression: "If there was this thing in South Vietnam back then, how many of my brothers would not have died...... I have died so many unjust ...... of life and death."

Silent words, soft sighs.

For a while, none of us knew how to comfort him.

"At that time, the people of Kunlu (Kunming Army Academy), all four grades graduated ahead of schedule, and the children in their teens and twenties went to the battlefield like that, and all of them were in the front line to command, but after the battle, half of the time when they came back had not yet gone! How many people were killed by the night raids of the South Vietnamese! If there was this thing back then, the South Vietnamese monkeys would have died as many as they touched it! How many lives could have been saved if I had this thing back then......"

Everyone didn't know what to do, but Yu Mo walked up.

"Old soldier, don't worry, this thing is now available in our country, although the performance is not as good as the domestic products of the United States, but it is enough, although it cannot be a full military man, but many special forces are one per person, you can rest assured! If the South Vietnamese monkeys dare to come again, they will directly let them destroy the country and exterminate the species! But I guess they didn't dare to come. ”

Listening to Yu Mo's words, I was a little surprised that this guy actually knew how to comfort people so well?

I looked at Meng Yun curiously, Meng Yun smiled and whispered: "Yu Mo was born in a military family, and there are elders in the family who participated in the Vietnam War, so I know more about the minds of these veterans."

I nodded wordlessly.

At night, we discussed who would go out to investigate, and it turned out that Lao Song decided that as long as I followed, Yang Li also wanted to go, but I stayed behind to protect the safety of the rest of the people (Yang Li: Wang Ruoxuan, what are you afraid of here?). The outlying group also said through the communicator that they were trying to find a way to get into the village without alarming anyone.

With a night vision device, Lao Song hid everywhere according to the situation he had detected during the day.

With night vision devices, all the people have nothing to hide in front of us, and then I realized that maybe what Lao Song said was right.

Because in many corners where no one is paying attention at all, you can see many people standing in that corner like sentinels, staring at the wide field of vision.

Did they just happen to be standing there?

"Their posts are very well placed, there are almost no dead spots! Now you kid get it, right? No matter what this place used to do, now it's just a bunch of soldiers guarding here! Lao Song said.

"But they're supposed to be just ordinary residents here!" I don't understand!

"Judging from the sentry posts, the cooperation between them is very skillful, definitely not a group of ordinary soldiers who get together, but some soldiers who cooperate skillfully with each other, although they are indeed old, but they cannot be ordinary residents!"

"Okay, veteran, I know, now let's go to that place to see the situation first, now it's all speculation to say anything about this situation, now you tell me what to do." I whispered.

"Come on, show me, follow my footsteps, I tell you to bow your head, you bow your head, I tell you to lie down, you lie down, what's wrong, the two of us will explain here!"

"Not that exaggerated, right?"

"Look!"
