"Company commander, what are you doing?"
The cave was full of torches, and the mountain wind blew in, and the firelight swayed, and even the figures of people were shaking. The cave www.biquge.info could collapse at any time, and most of the soldiers and prisoners were moved outside the cave, and Huang Debao took twenty or thirty soldiers to wait for the results of the interrogation - but he didn't dare to go out, otherwise, if the remaining bandits ran out and drilled into any stone crevice or cave roof, it would be better not to find out, if they sneaked up from the side, it would be really a big trouble.
Seeing Huang Debao standing on the second level, facing the way he came, he made a few gestures from time to time, which made Tie Hongjun, who was in charge of guarding on the side, very puzzled.
"Lao Tie, come and take a look. Huang Debao pointed to the second level and said: "It is said that from the dark place to the checkpoint, the distance of up to 30 meters, the grenade can still be thrown on the checkpoint." The bandits can repair this second level so strongly, there must be someone to guide them, then, they must be able to take the distance into account. But why didn't the enemy push the distance of the torches one or twenty meters further, wouldn't that be safer?"
Tie Hongjun thought for a while, shook his head and smiled: "Company commander, don't be so troublesome, it's clear to ask the prisoners." ”
"The answer was so easy that I wanted to figure it out for myself. ”
"I see. After a while, Huang Debao slapped his thigh and sighed: "The enemy is indeed better than us in building fortifications." ”
patted Tie Hongjun on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Old Tie, you are lucky, you are bold, and you are beating crookedly." ”
The Iron Red Army is a decent person, and no one can underestimate the exploits that he and his comrades have fought so hard for, even if the other party is a superior, he must fight on the basis of reason.
"Company commander, if you want to say that, I don't agree. The comrades fought hard to bring it down, but you said we were lucky. I don't agree with that. ”
Seeing Tie Hongjun looking up unconvinced, Huang Debao smiled: "Don't be unconvinced, what I said is true." It boils down to one sentence: the enemy is fighting psychological warfare with us, gambling with their lives! If you don't believe it, you go to the captives and ask them, when they first designed this level, they must have taken into account factors such as grenades or artillery shells, and the bet is that the attacking side will not dare to bomb this place, and they will die together. At the same time, at a distance of three or four meters, shooting, the people on the level take advantage, charge, and even find death, which is really just the right distance. ”
The implication is that the Iron Red Army with the commandos did not consider the risks at all, and they exploded as soon as they came up, and the momentum was amazing, so that the bandits mistakenly thought that the Red Army was going to die with them, and they were frightened and quickly surrendered. To put it mildly, there is a suspicion that the commandos are all stunned. However, if you think about it, if you don't have this kind of stunned character and bloody courage who are not afraid of death, what kind of revolution can you talk about?
Tie Hongjun was still not convinced, glanced at Huang Debao, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, turned around and left.
Soon, he came back again, hugged Huang Debao to express his admiration, and said with a sneer: "The checkpoint here was designed with the help of Zhao Wu and two people from the geological exploration team. ”
Huang Debao laughed very happily: "I'll just say, just these bandits who only know how to bully the common people, how can they take these into account." didn't just take a few stones as an obstacle, he was already considered capable. ”
At this moment, Wu Shuibao came running with a few people.
"Commander Huang, the interrogation is clear, Zhao Wu and Zuanshan Tiger of the dog day fled to the cave with a few henchmen. As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper: "This is a sketch of the terrain behind the checkpoint drawn by Director Li (Self-Defense Force instructor Li Guowei) based on the prisoner's explanation." ”
According to the sketch and Wu Shuibao's explanation: there is a fifty or sixty meter tunnel behind the second level, and then there are three fork holes, the leftmost hole is a wind tunnel, because the wind is too strong, no one has ever entered, the middle hole goes into thirty or forty meters to the end, the rightmost one is the main hole, after entering more than 100 meters, there will be a Yin River, what is the situation on the other side of the Yin River, Zhao Wu seems to have no interest in this, so no one knows.
Huang Debao pondered for a moment and asked, "What is Lao Li doing?"
"We are organizing everyone together, borrowing baskets and burdens from people's homes, and when we have completely wiped out the bandits, we will go into the cave to pick up things. Comrades were also sent to bury the remains of the fallen fighters and the bodies of bandits. "In fact, there are many miscellaneous things, but they are all inconsequential trivial things, so there is no need to say it, otherwise there is a suspicion of provoking. For example, if two bandits were killed by the sound of the explosion, they were relatives of the local people, and the two families begged the Red Army to bury the bodies of the two bandits elsewhere and get permission.
Since our commando team is the vanguard of attacking the Tiger Cave, and now we have experience in this area, our commando team has taken the initiative to ask for this task. ”
Huang Debao asked with a smile: "Attacking the Tiger Cave and eliminating the big bandits Zhao Wu and the Drill Mountain Tiger, your commando team has completed one of these two tasks." Since I want to make persistent efforts to make things perfect, I naturally want adult beauty. However, you must remember: the bandits must be eliminated, but comrades should also pay attention to safety and protect themselves, but don't throw the grenades over without regard to the same as just now, so that everyone almost dies. ”
"Company commander, please rest assured, I will do both things well, otherwise, I will come to see you. ”
"This is serious, how can there be no immortal in war. ”
Immediately, several people discussed for a while under the light of torches, and soon nine commandos took the lead, mainly searching the main cave. Ten other fighters followed, mainly searching the other two holes. Another 20 comrades are on standby to provide support at any time.
This time, everyone had to take the risk of carrying torches forward: the second level was attacked because the second level was there, and there were no forks along the way, so the bandits had to guard the second level. But now, firstly, although a few henchmen brought by Zhao Wu and the Drill Mountain Tiger hid in the fork hole, their number was not large; second, some places in the fork hole were high, and if the bandits climbed to the top of the cave to hide, there would be no light, and they would never be able to find it.
To put it mildly, the two people who walk in front are the most dangerous. What can make people proud is that whether it is a commando or other Red Army soldiers, regardless of their personal life and death, they have asked to be at the forefront. The dispute continued, and in the end, Huang Debao came up with an idea for everyone: everyone drew lots to decide.
And the Iron Red Army was drawn second, but as he walked, he went to the first, and his reputation said: Lao Tzu is the captain, the pioneer general, hiding behind your ass, and being a fart pioneer.
The assault team walked very slowly, mainly searching and alerting.
Zhang Qingshan was unlucky, he walked at the back, and tried to step forward several times, but was blocked back. In desperation, he had no choice but to hold the torch high, point the muzzle of the gun at the top of the cave, and search as he went.
After walking for a few minutes, the sound of the river flowing gradually came to his ears, and Zhang Qingshan's heart became nervous: not for his own safety, but for the safety of the comrades who walked in front. Because according to that sketch, the bottom of this hole is a Yin River. In other words, if Zhao Wu and the Diamond Mountain Tiger are hiding here, then it is time to see the real chapter. The other two forked holes, one can't go deeper, and the distance in one cave is shorter than theirs, and they are all about to go to the end here, but there is no gunfire from that hole, which makes everyone feel more and more that Zhao Wu and the Drill Mountain Tiger are somewhere in front, and the tension naturally gets higher and higher as the distance approaches.
"As the word went on, only one of my torches remained, and the rest of the torches were extinguished. Also, keep a little distance from each other, don't let people go all the way. ”
Now is not the time to fight, everyone does what they say: Tie Hongjun holds the torch high in his left hand, holds the box cannon in his right hand, and sticks to the wall, with a solemn expression, his eyes wide open, and walks forward little by little. The crowd scattered, following six or seven meters behind him, who could just vaguely use the torch in the hand of the Iron Red Army to see the way, and let others not see clearly from the opposite side, bowed down, stepped on the cat's step, and quietly followed.
As I got closer, my heart was about to rise to my throat, and the palms of my hands holding the gun were full of sweat. Especially when he saw the Iron Red Army walking out of the cave and the front was pitch black, Zhang Qingshan's nervous mouth was wide open, and he kept fantasizing in his mind that under the chaotic sound of the bandits' gunfire, the Iron Red Army died heroically.
However, there were no gunshots, no shouting, and everything was 'calm' except for the sound of the rushing Yin River.
Tie Hongjun raised the box cannon in his hand, and after playing the pre-agreed code words to his teammates to stand by in place, he held the torch and walked around the shore around the cave entrance, and then waved to the team members.
Everyone rushed over, first surrounding the Iron Red Army in the center, and then they had time to look at the surroundings: there was only a river beach more than twenty meters long around the entrance of the cave, and the rest of the place was full of smooth stone walls.
I lit a torch and searched the river beach carefully, but there was not a single ghost. The torch light could not reach the opposite bank, and the darkness on the opposite side, coupled with the rushing rapids, made people feel chilling to watch.
Everyone gathered together a little dejectedly, and one of the team members looked at the dark opposite side and asked, "Captain, do you say, did the bandits go to the other side by boat?"
"I don't know, none of the bandits and the common people have ever reached the other side. However, looking at the turbulence of the river, it is estimated that there are still countless reefs, and I am afraid that ordinary boats will not be able to get through it......" Speaking of this, he patted his head, and while taking out a flashlight from his trouser pocket, he laughed at himself: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot that the company commander specially gave me a three-battery flashlight when I came." ”
At that time, batteries were high-end and difficult to obtain, especially for the Red Army. Therefore, in order to save the battery, it is reluctant to use it until the last resort...... This is the real situation, not a fabrication by the author.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around with a smile on their faces, but Tie Hongjun said solemnly: "What are you doing here? If the enemy is on the opposite side and a shuttle comes, won't everyone be finished together?" Disperse, disperse!"
The crowd pouted and dispersed. Only then did the Tie Hongjun take a flashlight and shine it on the opposite side.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it......
