Chapter 537: The Crab and the Rabbit
At this time, the snow that had not yet melted in the mountains showed its benefits, and Ding Chen saw at a glance that there were dense fine imprints on the snow next to the box that had been blown out of the hard shell by the wind. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info came over just now, although he noticed these marks, he didn't go to his heart, at that time he thought it was the traces left by the wind, but now when he looks closely, he notices the difference between them.
Wu Han also noticed these traces, he squatted down to take a closer look, and muttered, "What is this?" ”
He had been active in the mountains and was familiar with all the common beasts and insects, but he had never seen an animal that could leave such traces in his memory.
He reached out and touched the snow. After the weather warmed up, it had not snowed for half a month, and the snow in the mountains had melted under the sun and then froze again, forming a layer of hard thin ice on the surface.
He looked at the fine marks clearly left on the thin ice, his face showed a look of surprise, and he looked up to Ding Chen and said, "What are the footprints left by something?" ”
Ding Chen nodded, picked up the rifle, pulled the bolt to load, and the other two soldiers in Bincheng also raised their guns to prepare for battle. Ding Chen was somewhat surprised to find that after the two soldiers loaded the bullet, they directly pulled the trigger with their index fingers, but because the fast and slow machine was still in the safety position, the automatic rifle would not fire. When moving, their thumbs stay on the fast and slow machine, and as long as they pull the fast and slow machine backwards, they can shoot immediately.
Ding Chen's rifle was not the standard rifle of Bincheng, but he had also used Bincheng's rifle, so he immediately understood.
The design of the rifle speed and slow machine in Bencheng is not the same as that of ordinary rifles, the zero position is the safety position, one is the automatic position, and the second position is the semi-automatic position, so their action can ensure that they can enter the shooting state at the fastest speed.
Ding Chen thought about it for a while, remembering that when he and Feng Qiang acted together, they didn't use this kind of tactical action, and couldn't help but ask, only then did he know that the platoon of An Xian was a professional mountain infantry, which was different from Feng Qiang's kind of mechanized infantry, and this kind of tactical action was also a unique feature of mountain infantry - unlike mechanized infantry, the battlefield of mountain infantry was more complicated, and the time to engage the enemy was shorter, so even if they could shoot a few tenths of a second in advance, the result would be very different, and it was often a question of who died and who lived. In contrast, mechanized infantry is much more comfortable, not only do they have a car to go out, but they also have obvious targets to fight, and they don't often have to know where the enemy is, as is the case with mountain infantry.
After answering Ding Chen's question, a soldier asked, "What kind of class are you?" ”
Along the way, Ding Chen and An Xian alternately led the team to explore the way, and they had already shown enough military literacy, so the soldiers felt that Ding Chen must have been a soldier, and most of them were born in elite troops.
Ding Chen smiled, thought for a while and said, "Paratroopers!" ”
The two soldiers glanced at each other and snorted in unison, Wu Han was looking around vigilantly, heard the voices of the two soldiers, looked back at them, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Paratroopers......" said the soldier with the radio on his back, in a long voice, "the hardest troops." ”
Ding Chen suddenly laughed, "Could it be that the mountain infantry is better than the paratroopers?" ”
"At least we won't be thrown behind the enemy." Another soldier said: "This is the first time I have seen a paratrooper. Where did you join the army? ”
Of course, there are paratrooper units in Ben Cheng, but the formation is very small, and it belongs to the kind of troops that exist in legends, so the two soldiers really haven't seen a living paratrooper before.
Ding Chen smiled and didn't answer the question, just pointed his finger to the ground, signaling them to concentrate. The two soldiers stuck out their tongues at each other. Although Ding Chen and Wu Han's expressions were solemn, the two soldiers didn't feel that there would be any danger, judging from the traces on the ground, even if it was an animal, it couldn't be too big.
They don't understand that for old hunters like Ding Chen and Wu Han, the bigger the prey, the more dangerous it is, many times, when they encounter tigers, they can still escape, and when they encounter deadly insects, they may not even know how to die.
At first, the traces on the ice surface were relatively concentrated, but they quickly dispersed, Ding Chen counted them, and felt that there were at least seven or eight traces in different directions stretching out, if this represented the number at the same time, then the result might not be too good.
Wu Han walked in front, suddenly stopped, stretched out his finger and pointed to his ear. Although it was cold, several people did not cover their ears, just so that they could detect the danger in advance when needed.
Ding Chen listened attentively, and sure enough, he found that there was a very strange sound in the wind, if it wasn't for Wu Han, who was familiar with the mountains and forests, he would have ignored this sound.
He whispered, "What's that?" ”
Wu Han shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then took the lead and walked in the direction where the sound came from, and there was also a strange footprint on the ice that stretched in the direction in front of them.
After walking about thirty meters, Wu Han stopped again, Ding Chen and two soldiers walked to his side carefully, looked in the direction of Wu Han, and a soldier exclaimed in a low voice: "A crab? ”
Wu Han had never seen crabs, so he didn't know why, Ding Chen frowned and said, "Have you ever seen crabs in the mountains?" ”
In fact, the soldier was not mistaken, in a depression in front of him, there was a monster the size of a basin, it had an almost hexagonal body with a hard shell, six legs, a pair of huge pincers in front of the body, and two eyes that looked like fiddler crabs kept raising high. It's a big crab.
But Ding Chen is also right, this is a mountainous area, there is no basis for the survival of crabs at all, in this era, everyone is still not full, and it is impossible for someone to be idle enough to release crabs into the mountains to watch it slowly starve to death.
The big crab was very alert, and almost immediately spotted the four of Ding Chen, turning two raised eye sticks to look at them, and moved his position uneasily, revealing a pile of things underneath him.
"What's that?" A soldier shouted.
As the crab moved, all four of them saw that there was a corpse of an animal hidden under it, but it had been so badly damaged that only the fur and flesh could be seen, and the original shape could no longer be seen.
Wu Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Like a mouse? It was the first time he had used a questioning tone.
Of course, there are rodents in the mountains, and they are an important part of the lower food chain, but for hunters, it is a pity that this thing is tasteless and abandoned, and it is really not worth hunting. So no one will include it in their target prey.
Ding Chen frowned and said, "What is it doing?" ”
To be honest, how weird and weird the scene in front of him looks now, even Ding Chen, who thinks he is well-informed, feels a little hairy, he hesitates and says, "This thing eats mice?" ”
This is the most plausible guess, because no matter how you look at it, the crab is the culprit who cut the mouse beyond recognition. (To be continued.) )
