Chapter 70: The Silent Hunt (I)
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the "snake carving" brandished a machete to open the way in front of the endless primeval forest and rushed to the 407 highland on the north side of the Monkey Tu Tai Airport in Vietnam. In the primeval forests of northern Vietnam, the miasma that appears at dawn can suffocate people. Behind the "snake eagle" are the "eagle owl" and "goshawk", and more than ten meters away from them are the "white-tailed harrier" and "spot-tailed eagle", as well as the "buzzard".
After traveling less than a kilometer, the "eagle owl" couldn't help it anymore and whispered to the "goshawk" walking in front of him with the radio on his back: "I said 'goshawk', you can read and break words, why do you say that our people like to call the Vietnamese 'monkeys'?" ……”
"Goshawk" laughed in a low voice without looking back: "Hehe...... You're asking the right question! Before coming to the front line in southern Xinjiang, in order to know myself and the enemy, I checked some information, and there is really information about this aspect that you asked. Our country's culture is broad and profound, and we like to give people from other countries a proper and special name. For example, the Indians are called 'Ah San', the Soviets are called 'Lao Maozi', and the Japanese are called 'little devils'. As soon as ordinary people hear these special names, they can roughly understand what they mean. As the mantra of Vietnamese monkeys is very fond of using 'co
khí', which translates to 'monkey'. For example, add 'co' after 'how are you?'
'khí' means to disagree with you. ……”
The "eagle owl" shook his head, his face full of suspicion: "It's because people like to use 'co' in their colloquial language."
khí', just give people a very special name, called 'monkey'? ……”
"Goshawk" smiled and said, "That's not as shallow as you think. Vietnamese monkeys have some habits, indeed a bit like monkeys, such as they like to go up trees, like to pick wild fruits to eat, and they are all black and thin, giving people a feeling of 'monkey spirit'. In addition, during the 10-year-long jungle war with the Yankees, the Vietnamese monkeys dealt a heavy blow to the Yankees' head organs, important military facilities, and logistics systems, which made the Yankees very worried. A Yankee special forces jungle warfare expert who once suffered from Vietnamese monkeys described in his memoirs, 'In Vietnam, if you meet a Vietnamese man in the mountains and jungles who is uncovered, unkempt, and barefoot, you must not be careless, or when you turn back, he will shoot a bullet from behind or suddenly stick a dagger into it.' Over time, the Yankees have vividly compared the Vietnamese monkey secret service to the 'jungle chameleon' that everyone talks about. ……”
The "eagle owl" said disdainfully: "Cut! It's not like I haven't fought against the Vietnamese monkey secret service! ……”
The "goshawk" turned around and said, "I said 'eagle owl', you must not underestimate the enemy!" These Vietnamese monkeys ......"
At this time, the "snake eagle" who was walking in front of the road panted and whispered: "Pay attention to marching discipline!" ……”
The "eagle owl" and the "goshawk" were taken aback and were a little embarrassed. The Scouts' march was once again all about gestures and simple code words. I don't know how far I walked, but the "snake eagle" suddenly stopped, and an improvised road appeared in front of him. In fact, in the north of Vietnam and even in the jungle, simple roads like this are still very developed.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Salvation of the National Salvation War, at the personal request of the "originator" of the Vietnamese monkeys, our army gathered 80,000 troops and rushed to build 12 roads north of Hanoi, laying the foundation for the final network of the famous "Ho Chi Minh Trail". The "Ho Chi Minh Trail" stretches more than 1,000 miles from the Truong Son Mountains in North Vietnam to the Mekong Delta in South Vietnam. The "Ho Chi Minh Trail" has five main roads, 29 side roads, and cobwebbed improvised roads. The total length is about 20,000 kilometers. Moreover, the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" also penetrates more than 300 kilometers across the borders of Laos and Cambodia.
In other words, the unit of measurement of the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" is not length, but area. It is precisely because of the existence of the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" that Vietnamese monkeys not only transported a large amount of material resources aided by China and "Lao Maozi" and other countries to South Vietnam, but also from 1966 to 1971 alone, 630,000 Vietnamese monkeys crossed the armistice line and were sent to the southern battlefield through the "Ho Chi Minh Trail."
The "Buzzard Eagle", who was in charge of the rearguard, caught up, looked at the winding mountain road, and then looked at the sweaty and panting "Snake Eagle" who was using the military "ZBZ-80 type" compass and map to confirm the direction, and said with concern: "I said 'Snake Eagle', let's change the position!" You're in charge of the back guard, I'm in charge of the front guard! ……”
The "snake eagle" shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, I can still eat it!" You also have a heavy burden in the back, and you need to be on the lookout for sneak attacks from Vietnamese monkeys at all times. I'll switch places with you when I can't take it anymore! ……”
"Buzzard" looked at the end of the improvised road hidden in the darkness and asked, "I said 'snake eagle', is this road going to the 407 highland of Tu Tai Airport in Vietnam?" ……”
"Snake Eagle" turned off the flashlight and said: "Yes, there are about four kilometers left!" We can follow this easy road and walk through the jungle! That way, there's no need to be afraid of getting lost. ……”
The words of the "snake eagle" immediately reminded the "buzzard", he shook his head, and said: "I said 'snake eagle', let's do this!" The bold eat fat! In order to save physical strength and improve the speed of travel, we don't go through the forest and go over the mountains, and if there is a big road instead of a small road, we will take the simple road of Vietnamese monkeys! But...... Beware of Vietnamese monkeys on this road covered by dense jungle bases, or Vietnamese monkeys passing by. Let's do it, the 'White-tailed Harrier' has good hearing, let him and the 'Bar-tailed Eagle' go to the front as the avant-garde, let's walk behind, open the distance, and be ready for battle at any time! ……”
"Yes! ......" "Buzzard Eagle" Speaking of which, "Eagle Owl", "Goshawk" and "White-tailed Harrier", "Bar-tailed Eagle".
The "snake carving" thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... There's no better way to do that than 'Buzzard' with this idea! ……”
The scouts hung the "Bayi Bar" with the muffler on their chests, loaded the bullets, put their fingers on the triggers, pulled the distance and set off along the improvised road. Fortunately, the sky was clear on this day, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and it was bright and gentle. The dense fog is diffused and spreading, and it is a calm and peaceful night, and the soft moonlight sets off a calm and peaceful night, and the light of the moon falls on the trees on both sides of the road, falling mottled black shadows, and the scattered ones are like broken strips hanging on the trees. The scouts didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful night in the mountains and forests of a foreign land, they looked nervous, watched and listened in all directions, and quickly followed the improvised road.
The Cloud Boy seemed to understand the mood of the scouts very well, and pushed the clouds in the night sky clean. Let the bright moonlight seem to appear brighter and brighter, illuminating the path of the scouts. The beauty of the moon is really indescribable, maybe it is bright, maybe it is bright, maybe it is soft, maybe it is hazy, no wonder from ancient times to the present, people have written thousands of poems in praise of the moon. The scouts rushed to the "Tu Tai Airport" of the Vietnamese "monkeys", and the mood of protecting their comrades seemed to have moved Granny Feng. The wind that had been hiding in the forest canyon for a day quietly drove out, exuding coolness and silently dissolving the stuffiness of the scouts.
The scouts had a smooth journey, neither encountering the secret base of the Vietnamese monkeys in the rainforest, nor the Vietnamese monkeys on a night tour, and arrived at the hill opposite the 407 Heights of the Tu Tai Airport of the Vietnamese monkeys at midnight.
Suddenly, the "White-tailed Harrier" made a gesture to stop advancing, and the scouts immediately dispersed and hidden. The "Buzzard" walked up to the "white-tailed harrier" and asked in a low voice, "I said 'white-tailed harrier', what's the situation?" ……”
The "white-tailed harrier" pointed to the 407 heights of Tutai Airport in the gap between the trees and said: "'Buzzard', look! ……”
The "Buzzard" took out its binoculars and looked at the 407 heights of Tutai Airport. I saw that on the top of the 407 Heights, the Vietnamese monkeys built a bamboo stilt watchtower more than ten meters high, and a searchlight on the watchtower constantly scanned the Tutai Airport of the Vietnamese monkeys. Through the scattered light of the searchlight, the "Buzzard" can see the figure of two Vietnamese monkeys, one Vietnamese monkey in control of the searchlight, and the other in control of a "DShK-38" large-caliber machine gun that "Lao Maozi" assists the Vietnamese monkeys.
The "Bar-tailed Eagle", who had a "79 Sniper" on his shoulder, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I said 'Buzzard Eagle', and I looked at the two Vietnamese monkeys on the tower unpleasantly!" I measured the distance, about 850 meters, shoot him? ……”
The "snake carving" who came later put down the telescope in his hand and said, "Can't fight!" None of us knew where the 'camel' was or how he carried out his mission. We can only secretly help the 'camels', and we can't take the initiative to attack unless we have to! ……”
The "Buzzard" also put down the telescope in his hand and said approvingly: "Well...... 'snake eagle' is a good point!" It's the 'camel' bastard who lacks morality, and he doesn't tell us what he thinks! You said that if he had a few ventilations with our brothers, how easy this battle would be! ……”
"Goshawk" was not angry with "Buzzard" in his heart, and scolded Zhan Zhizhan as a "bastard", he said with a smile: "I said 'Buzzard', my heart is like stopping water, and chaos is unclear." ……”
"Buzzard" rolled his eyelids and said, "The heart is like stopping water, and the chaos is unknown?" What do you mean? ……”
"Goshawk" smiled again and said: "Many things, the more you want to figure it out, the more confused you become, once you have this mustard in your heart, it will be like a ball of thread, it will only get more and more messy." 'The son wants to avoid it, but promotes it'. ……”
"Buzzard" said a little unhappily: "Here we go again!" Not again! Can you say something that we can understand? ……”
"Goshawk" said: "Huh...... What I said is from the Analects of Ji, and there is nothing difficult to understand. It means, 'Just let it be.'" Both. This is the way to survive. ’……”
A few scouts memorized the "Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" by heart, and they couldn't fight this time, and it was definitely impossible to withdraw, and it was not appropriate to infiltrate the Tutai airfield of the Vietnamese monkeys, and if they disrupted Zhan Zhizhan's "plan," it was not a joke. The scouts, who had been working hard for most of the night, were in a dilemma, and they really couldn't think of a good way to do it. In the end, it was the "eagle owl" who came up with an idea. He made a gesture on the map of the "snake carving" and said what he thought.
The "Eagle Owl" finally said: "It's not a way for us to wait passively, don't delay the fighter!" I think the target of our detachment leader 'Camel' should also be in this two-story yellow building. We can bypass the 407 heights of Vietnam's Monkey Tu Tai Airport and run to the nameless hill in the direction of ten o'clock. Judging from the elevation of this nameless mountain, the two-story yellow building at the Monkey Tu Tai Airport in Vietnam can be monitored from the side. ……”
