Chapter 67: Two Lines of Defense
Jade held the gun, the bullets already pushed into the chamber, and pressed the trigger with her fingers, ready to shoot at her opponent.
"Why is the house dark?" said someone "just now when I saw the lights on it, nothing will happen?"
"Don't talk nonsense," said the other, "what can happen? everything that should be explained is clear, and those two guys have been killed, and no one will come here for a while, don't worry, I suspect they may be too careful......"
"Who is here?" Jade rushed over, sending the head of the gun out of the crack in the fence, aiming the muzzle of the gun at the person who spoke, and she roared angrily, "In the middle of the night, sneaky, don't you want to live?" ”
"Sister Cuiyu," the person who spoke was Ah Zi, she heard Cuiyu's voice and suddenly felt kind, almost hit the muzzle of the gun, and said excitedly, "It's me, it's us back, we're back with Sister Xiaojing, hurry up and open the door!"
Cuiyu hurriedly stepped forward, opened the door, and accompanied Qiao Xiaojing, Ah Zi and the big man to the house while greeting her, "They are back, I will light the lights for everyone, but it really scares me, I thought it was really a devil coming!"
The oil lamp was lit, and the room suddenly lit up.
After a brief and subtle discussion, everyone got to the point.
"Uncle," Qiao Xiaojing handed the old man a cup of hot water, and said with a smile, "You see that the eldest man and Ah Zi have both returned, and now that we are all together, can you tell us what it was inconvenient for you to say on the mountain at that time?"
"Come here," the old man waved his hand at the big man, and said lightly, "Now, I'll let you stand by my side, listen to why I reprimanded you at that time, and buy you a pass, so that you can guess for so long." ”
"Okay, okay, you can say it, say it quickly, I'll listen to you. The big man was ecstatic, clapped his hands, and looked at the old man with all kinds of courteous eyes.
"Think about it," said the old man, "the exit of the devil's grave is set at the foot of the mountain, which is overgrown with trees and weeds, which invisibly brings a lot of hidden danger to the devil's safety. If there is a cadre of people, if it is you. One by one, you hold knives and guns in hand, take advantage of the vast night, sneak up the mountains, then cross the mountains, quietly descend the slopes, with the help of trees and weeds to cover the sudden attack on the devil's grave, with lightning speed, in the case of defenseless, even if the devil is strong, in the face of this sudden incident, he will be caught off guard and suffer a big loss. You say, isn't it?"
"Not bad!" Qiao Xiaojing nodded.
"That's why I want to go down the mountain," the big man hurriedly explained, "Of course, I don't want to attack the devils alone, but I want to take a closer look at the entrance and exit of the devil's tunnel under the cover of trees and weeds, and of course it would be best if I could see the devil's vigilance." However, you stopped you. ”
"Why do you still think so?" the old man glanced at the big man, shook his head in disappointment, and said, "You don't use your brain, such a simple truth, even I, an old bad old man, knows, can those cunning and treacherous little devils not know? Since they built it like this, they naturally know the advantages and disadvantages of this construction, will they be defenseless?"
"When you say that, I seem to understand. The big man was stimulated by the old man for a few words, and his heart was still a little unhappy, frowning, half-squinting, tired, and his face was gloomy, when he listened to the old man talking, he raised his head, his eyes gradually widened, and he nodded from time to time, agreeing with the old man's analysis, and finally gave the old man a thumbs up.
"That's true," Qiao Xiaojing also agreed with the old man's question, she said, "Since the devil has built the tunnel like this, leaving the entrance and exit at the root of the mountain, and the road leading to the avenue is also placed along the root of the mountain, it shows that the devil has already weighed the pros and cons, and may even have made up for the disadvantages, which may have become an advantage that they can take advantage of." ”
"That's right!" the old man nodded, "As you team leader Qiao said, what you see is exactly what we saw this morning, but the devil's secret methods are what you and I can't see on the top of the mountain." ”
"Please also ask the uncle to be able to say a famous word. Qiao Xiaojing bowed down and pleaded.
"Of course," said the old man, taking a sip of water, clearing his throat, "I once heard my dead nephew say that the devil had set up two lines of security on the slope where the tunnel entrance was located. One is a minefield, and the other is a line of defense built with heavy weapons. These two lines of defense are sufficient to defend the entrance to the tunnel and ensure that the tunnel will not be violated. Next, I will tell you in detail based on what my nephew said at the time, and I think it will be crucial for you to fight or escape. ”
"Escape?" All the people, including Boss Wu, were very puzzled by the old man's words, and asked in unison.
"Is it," said the old man, "that you don't really want to fight with those brutes with just a few of you and a few guns? I believe that you have the heart, and you may have the guts, and even if you do, you don't have the strength! The reason why I want to tell you the secrets I know and tell them to you is not really to get rid of the devils, but to let you be able to take this information out and bring it to those who can really help us, so that they can come prepared and kill those beasts." I'm afraid if I don't say it, if one day I am killed by a devil, no one will ever know this secret again. ”
"You go on," Ah Zi and the big man both wanted to interject, but were stopped by Qiao Xiaojing, Qiao Xiaojing said to the old man, "As for what kind of actions we will take in the future, we really have to study and discuss it carefully, this is a later story." ”
"The devil is halfway up the mountain," the old man continued, "and a square minefield about five meters wide and twenty meters long has been set up, and it is not known how many mines have been laid, and the mines are buried under the weeds and trees, and there is no trace of them, and even if you are careful, you will not be able to pass easily." This is the first line of defense that the devils have set up, and this line of defense will prevent any opponent who will come down from the mountain against them. So far, no one has been heard of breaking through this line of defense. ”
"This devil is really not simple," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, "He actually set up such a big minefield! If you don't know where this minefield is, you rush downhill, but you really lose your life and don't know why?"
"Isn't it?" Boss Wu said, "Big man, now I understand why this old man suddenly got angry when he saw you rushing down, right? The old man taught you a few words, maybe you were a little unhappy at the time, but he saved your life!"
"I'm kind to the old man," the big man bowed down and hugged his fists, "in addition to gratitude, or gratitude, where is the unhappiness? The old man has always been amiable, and he spoke like a drizzle, and when he saw me going downhill, his tone suddenly changed greatly, and he actually reprimanded me, so I was unconscious, and I thought that there was a problem with the downhill, so I accepted the old man's reprimand, and obediently went up the mountain. ”
"That's great," said the old man with a smile, "it seems that I was stingy, and I insisted on telling the story of this devil's defense line in front of you, lest you misunderstand my hard work, but I didn't expect you to think of this at that time......"
"Uncle, uncle," said the eldest man embarrassedly, "let's not talk about it, you better talk about it!"
"This other line of defense," said the old man, "is set between the minefield and the tunnel entrance, closer to the tunnel exit, and is the main line of defense for the safety of the tunnel entrance and exit and the road from the main road to the tunnel." They have not only light machine guns but also heavy machine guns in this line of defense, I really don't know the exact number, and the firepower is definitely not to be underestimated. ”
"Do you know whether this line of defense is trenched or concealed?" Qiao Xiaojing asked.
"It must be in the dark style," said the old man, "and my nephew told me at the time that the devils seemed to be hiding in the turf, and even if they came to them, it would be difficult to see them in the open, let alone see their guns." ”
"So," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, "this second line of defense seems to be more secretive than the first line of defense, and the difficulty of breaking through is much more difficult than the first line of defense." The first line of defense is dead, we can find a way to bypass it, then the second line of defense is not easy to deal with, after all, it is composed of living people, as long as there is wind and grass, the devil will immediately perceive it, and then he will be ready for battle. ”
"Yes!" Boss Wu nodded and sighed helplessly, "There is another very important question that cannot be ignored, that is, how many devils are there in this second line of defense, whether it is three or five devils, or seven or eight devils, or a dozen devils...... If we really want to attack, we must understand this problem, and if we don't understand this problem, with our current strength, I think we will definitely suffer a big loss, and whether or not we can get close to the tunnel entrance may be just a luxury. ”
"That's right," said the old man, "before you do anything, you should consider the disadvantages more, and you will be more prepared, and the results will be better, as is the case in everything." Actually, this is exactly what I started to say, and if I don't tell you this information, I will not only be sorry for my dead nephew, but also for the villagers in the whole town who have been bullied by devils. As for whether you will fight or flee in the end, this is your business, and I can't help a bad old man. ”
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaojing fell into deep thought, and in a trance, a scarred Dazhi appeared in front of her, and that Dazhi was tortured by the devil so that he had no human form, and said weakly to her: "I'm so miserable! I'm so uncomfortable! Aren't we brothers and sisters, why don't you come to save me? You can't bear to let the devil torture me to death......
"Uncle," Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath, her eyes looked straight ahead, her eyes were full of coldness and anger, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely fight." We are the people's soldiers, and the people need us, so how can we run away? Besides, we have a little brother......
Saying the word "little brother", Qiao Xiaojing choked up, and after a few seconds, she let out a long breath and said slowly: "Whatever you say, you have to fight, this is the mission, and it is the rule of our small group." ”
In addition to the jade that was sentry in the yard, Boss Wu, the big man, and Ah Zi came to Qiao Xiaojing one after another, and the three hands of the three of them were stacked together, Qiao Xiaojing looked at them affectionately, and put her hands up, and shouted at the same time: "Fight!"
