During the day, the army marched and fought, interspersed, and at night it was not idle, digging trenches, thinking about countermeasures, Rao is Xia Yuan was a little tired, and he held on to his spirits, and followed Comrade Xiao Qin, and the two of them shuttled through the forest one after the other.

"Comrade Xiao Qin, what's your name?"

Seeing Comrade Xiao Qin's head borrowed, Xia Yuan asked in greeting.

"Platoon Commander Xia, my name is Qin Shoutian."

"Qin Shoutian ......"

Xia Yuan thought for a while, and Qin Shoutian in front of him said: "Well, my mother told me that the land at home was given to them by the Eighth Route Army, and asked me to guard the family field well, so she gave me the name Qin Shoutian, and also hoped that I could join the team of the Eighth Route Army, so that I could protect the family field." ”

"A good name, not only you, but all of us, will protect our country and the hard-won fields."

For the people of this era, the people regard food as the sky, the field is everything, and with the field, there is a foundation.

The two walked through the forest, climbed over the mountains, crossed the fields and roads, they continued to hurry, walked for about half an hour, stopped to sit and rest, while resting, while looking around vigilantly, Xia Yuan took out a handful of fried noodles from the grain bag in his arms and came to Qin Shoutian.

"Something to eat?"

Qin Shoutian patted the grain strip in front of him: "I still have it, it's enough to eat." ”

Xia Yuan stuffed the fried noodles into his mouth, drank a few sips of water, as if he was drinking a dry powder, touched the grain strip that still had two-thirds left on his neck, and exhaled slightly.

His arms and thighs were trembling slightly, and his body was also transmitting a feeling of discomfort, which was the first time he had felt discomfort since he crossed, and this feeling was caused by malnutrition, which was very clear.

Xia Yuan's body is very strong, this strength is systematically strengthened and the blessing of skills, but the systematic strengthening and the blessing of skills will not make him look like a superman, his essence is still human.

For seven days, there was only a handful of fried noodles with a mouthful of water for each meal, which was the food for one meal, so down, so far only one-third of the food bars on his body were consumed, and the food bars of other soldiers were basically only one or two meals left.

Continuous rapid marching, continuous fighting, even those who are beaten with iron will be exhausted.

Xia Yuan just felt the discomfort of his body, not only his strong physical fitness, but also the lasting changes that made him different from ordinary people, and it was difficult to feel the changes in his body as an ordinary person, and his body would only gradually become malnourished over time, and he would not be able to clearly feel the changes in his body like Xia Yuan.

"You still have so much food?"

While thinking about it, Qin Shoutian's voice came from his ears.

Xia Yuan nodded: "My food is eaten slowly. ”

"I'm almost done with mine." Qin Shoutian said with emotion: "I heard our platoon commander say that there are many veterans in the team who came from the Red Army period, who are very economical about food and ammunition, and are unwilling to consume excessively. ”

He looked at Xia Yuan and said, "Platoon Commander Xia, you are my role model, our reconnaissance platoon has heard about you for a long time, and many people admire you." ”

Xia Yuan smiled, grabbed another handful of fried noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, drank a few sips of water, exhaled slightly, and the weakness of his body was really a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xia Yuan didn't speak, Qin Shoutian said again: "Platoon Commander Xia, do we have an action mission tonight?" ”

"Operational mission?"

Xia Yuan looked at Qin Shoutian suspiciously, and shook his head: "There is no action mission." ”

"Then you ......" hesitated for a moment, Qin Shoutian said: "When I was scouting, I thought about whether there would be an artillery position of the US army in the ravine, Platoon Commander Xia, you are worthy of being a veteran soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, I feel that what you said is right, the terrain of the ravine is too narrow, even if it looks relatively spacious from the outside, but the ravine is a ravine after all, and the terrain is complex, which is not conducive to the deployment of the enemy's artillery position." ”

"You think so too?" Xia Yuan smiled and said, "If it is possible to find the enemy's artillery position tonight, find a way to eliminate the enemy's artillery position." ”

"Hmm!"

Qin Shoutian nodded firmly, "We must not let the cannon of the foreign devil go off." ”

After a short rest, the two continued to move forward, walking forward for more than a hundred meters, Xia Yuan suddenly stopped, and motioned to Qin Shoutian to stop moving forward in a suppressed voice.

When Qin Shoutian was puzzled, a roar came from above his head.

Enemy!

With his brain exploding, Qin Shoutian immediately leaned against a big tree, and Xia Yuan was opposite him, and the two of them clinged to the big tree, waiting for the enemy's plane to fly by.

The roar from the sky came from far and near, and gradually drifted into the distance.

"U.S. bombers?" Qin Shoutian exhaled slightly, the pressure brought by this thing to people was still very high.

"Scared?"

"Well, I encountered this thing when I was in logistics, and it killed a lot of our logistics comrades."

Qin Shoutian was haunted by the picture of the plane bombing the logistics supply line, it was not the Korean War, but the war of liberation, the reactionaries had the support of the United States, all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment could not go out, when the volunteers went abroad to fight, the weapons and equipment they carried were all international brands, and many weapons were American-made weapons.

It also includes aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles and other powerful weapons and equipment.

The soldiers who died in logistics were no less than those who died on the front line, or even more, Qin Shoutian couldn't forget those pictures, he could bravely face the enemy's machine gun bunkers, tanks and armored vehicles, but the planes were something he was unwilling to face.

It was powerful, it flew high, and they had no weapons against it.

Xia Yuan comforted him: "Airplane, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

Without thinking about this, Qin Shoutian suddenly asked again: "Platoon Commander Xia, you can listen so far, I didn't even notice it when the plane came just now." ”

Xia Yuan snorted and said, "My hearing is very good, okay, let's continue to go." ”

Qin Shoutian didn't ask, and continued to hurry, this time the road was very smooth, he walked about seven or eight kilometers in one breath, took a short rest, and not long after, after passing through a dense forest, turning over a hillside, standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, he saw that the searchlight of the foreign devil was so conspicuous from a distance.

"Foreign devils are so rampant, they don't take us seriously, the lights can be turned on and off at will, but we don't even dare to make a fire."

Qin Shoutian said with some anger.

"The reason for such brazenness is nothing more than the assumption that we dare not fight them."

Xia Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Go, sooner or later they will pay for their arrogance." ”

The two of them went down the mountain, and their movements began to become cautious, Qin Shoutian held a gun, looked around cautiously, and said, "I have observed this forest before, and it is safe. ”

"Be careful in everything, don't be careless."

Xia Yuan opened the night market and Eagle Eye for the first time, and began to observe, the cold woods, a cold wind blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed, under the bright moonlight, like ghosts with teeth and claws, it was difficult not to be afraid here.

Most of South Korea has not yet been developed, and it was only after the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that the United States began to support South Korea, and South Korea developed.

Xia Yuan and Qin Shoutian are both strong-willed people, such an environment does not make the two of them feel afraid, they shuttle quickly in the dense forest, and soon they arrived at a position about two miles in front of the US army's position, Xia Yuan stopped and began to camouflage himself.

His camouflage method is different from Qin Shoutian's camouflage method, Qin Shoutian's camouflage method is relatively simple, he does not carry too much ammunition on his body, it is almost a light way to go into battle, he wears leaves on his hat, and some places on his body that can be separated from weeds are also pinned with weeds.

Qin Shoutian's cheeks were quite clean, almost all of them were on reconnaissance missions, and there were not many times he went to the battlefield, Xia Yuan grabbed a handful of tender green leaves and crushed them, squeezed out the green liquid, and wiped them on Qin Shoutian's face.

"The sap from the leaves can be camouflaged to a certain extent, and if you can find herbs that can repel insects, mash them and rub them on your face, you can also prevent mosquitoes."

Xia Yuan said, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, wiped it on his face, and continued: "Now that the conditions are limited, let's use these things first." ”

Qin Shoutian touched the liquid on his face, thought about it, and also grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it on his face.

Xia Yuan looked at it, and didn't say anything anymore, plunged into the dense grass, Qin Shoutian followed closely, the two walked through the forest, the front appeared wild before, the forest was tall, but there were few weeds, and further ahead, was the open area cleared by the U.S. military, the searchlights of the U.S. military shone from afar, and the ground was white.

Qin Shoutian said: "That dirt slope was touched by the enemy before I reconnoitred it, and I haven't been there before, the open ground in front has been turned over, and I suspect that the enemy has planted mines in that area." ”

"I observed very carefully, the ground was indeed turned, and the grass looked a little messy, and it was difficult to see it if I didn't look closely."

Xia Yuan relied on his night vision and eagle eye to see that after the foreign devils planted mines in the ground, they used the weeds on the ground to camouflage.

"The foreign devil is too cunning, Platoon Commander Xia, should we touch it?" Qin Shoutian lay on the ground and turned his head to ask.

"I'm going to touch it in and take a look!"

Speculation is always speculation, and after all, it needs to be investigated.

"Platoon Commander Xia, I'll listen to you." Qin Shoutian said.

"I've found the route, go."

Xia Yuan observed the deployment of the US troops in the front, and the situation was the same as what Qin Shoutian said, the US troops occupied the defense of favorable terrain, with mines as the first line of defense, tanks and armored vehicles in the mountain pass as the second line of defense, and the US military firepower point on the mountain was the third line of defense, which was perfect, and it was indeed impossible to attack from here.

However, the place where the US troops are stationed is mountainous, the mountains are steep, and the rocks are dense, and the US troops are not found in many locations, which creates opportunities for the two.

Xia Yuan has experienced yesterday's climbing and has unlocked his climbing skills, although it is only an entry level, but it is enough.

"Go up from here!"

Taking Qin Shoutian to the bottom of a cliff, Xia Yuan squinted his eyes and observed, the cliff of more than 70 degrees was full of rocks, and there was no defense of the US army on the mountain, so it was easy to touch it from here.

The U.S. military still has not gotten rid of its fixed thinking, and has always believed that it is impossible for the volunteers to attack from the cliff, and it is true that not everyone has climbing skills.

"How are you, can you?"

"Platoon Commander Xia, don't worry, our training projects include rock climbing."

"Alright, let's go."

Xia Yuan put the gun behind his back, grabbed the stones and climbed upwards with his hands and feet, more than seventy degrees is not vertical, such an inclined plane is easy to climb, plus there are many raised stones on the cliff, such a position is very suitable for novices to climb, in the process of rock climbing, the proficiency is also increasing rapidly, coupled with Xia Yuan's own reflexes and physical fitness, the cliff of twenty or thirty meters high is very easy to climb up, and his climbing skills have also ushered in an upgrade.

From the entry level to the proficient level, the upgrade of rock climbing skills made Xia Yuan a little happy, with such a skill, he has the individual skills of multi-terrain combat, and it is even easier after interspersing and winding.

After a while, Qin Shoutian's figure appeared, Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to pull him up, Qin Shoutian said, "Platoon Leader Xia, you climb so fast, have you also done rock climbing before?" ”

"I have a lot of trees at home, so I often climb them." Xia Yuan squinted and observed the surroundings, and casually touched Qin Shoutian, casually pointing in a direction, and the two of them touched in that direction.

Groping on the ridge of the mountain, Qin Shoutian also observed this so-called ravine, which was crooked and full of rocks, similar to what Xia Yuan had speculated before, the terrain on the other side of the mountain was relatively gentle, and the position of the ravine seemed to be very spacious from above, but when he looked at it from below, the ravine was very narrow, and such terrain was not conducive to the deployment of the artillery group.

"The enemy's artillery would not have been stationed in such a ravine."

Qin Shoutian did not have night vision, and he completely relied on the visibility brought by the bright moonlight to observe, and such observation was not careful.

"So, we're going to grope in the opposite direction."

Xia Yuan pointed to the south, and they wanted to continue to move forward, and he said as he walked: "The enemy's artillery group will not be deployed in front of the infantry, we have to grope to the rear, and we should be able to see the enemy's artillery group." ”

Qin Shoutian was inexplicably a little excited, "If we find the artillery group, we may be able to blow up the enemy's artillery!" ”

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded, staring at the ravine, the place where the enemy was stationed was in the middle of the ravine, on the slopes on both sides were the fire bunkers arranged by the enemy, large and small camp tents were lined up in the ravine, trucks, motorcycles, armored vehicles were lined up neatly, and ammunition, food and medicine loaded with supplies were lying quietly under the tents, it can be determined that the enemy's strength was at least above the battalion level.

As he walked, he observed that there were traces of fortifications built by the enemy in the back of the winding ravine, and even if the enemy was not found in these traces, such traces were everywhere, halfway up the mountain, on the top of the mountain, in the ravine.

Xia Yuan took Qin Shoutian to find a trace of the remaining fortifications of the American army, the fortifications were simple, they were built with logs and sandbags, and there were empty cans and domestic garbage left by the American soldiers in the fortifications, and traces of machine gun mounts stationed on the sandbags.
