"Grass! Don't run! ”

Zhao Xuwu took the pistol, crawled lightly to the vicinity of the deer, then carefully aimed, and then fired six shots at one of the doe, emptying the magazine in one gob.

As the pride of the sky, Air Force pilots have all kinds of preferential treatment, and it is almost the default rule to choose their favorite self-defense weapons, and Zhao Xuwu is no exception.

The Browning M7906 pocket pistol he used was a product of the pocket pistol trend that swept the world at the beginning of the century, and it was very small, not as large as the palm of an adult man's hand, so it was called "palm thunder" in the Ming Dynasty.

Correspondingly, the .25ACP pistol rounds it fired were extremely weak, at just over 100 joules.

So, the doe, who had been shot three times, fled in panic, and the Siberian red deer ran away without a trace.

"Rubbish! Farts don't use top! ”

The days of pampering are used to being pampered, and when they encounter actual combat, they are naturally prone to all kinds of ridiculous things, for example, Zhao Xuwu has stepped on almost all the pits.

He could only reluctantly chase in the direction of the deer's escape, hoping that the injured doe would not have the strength to run too far.

A moment later......

Second Lieutenant Gavril led a dozen cavalrymen to the place where the gunfire had just been heard.

They carefully searched the surrounding wilderness, and it didn't take long to find traces of the grass being trampled.

Gavril rolled over and dismounted, and for a moment bent down to examine the series of footprints—the grass had been trampled and broken, and it was still conspicuous when viewed closely.

"Fresh traces, that's him."

"Shall we just follow the footprints?"

"Wait."

Gavril stepped on the stirrup, then grabbed his mount, then stood up and looked southwest with his binoculars in hand.

Standing high and looking far away, standing safely on the body of the war horse to search the surrounding environment, this is a compulsory course for cavalry units around the world, and some brave cavalry can even stand on the back of the horse.

Soon, he spotted a figure a few kilometers away—walking briskly, dressed like a Ming pilot.

"Let's go! Get him back, and no one will care if we're drunk tonight." ”

The cavalry cheered a few times, then quickly sat back on their horses, and with a shake of the reins, they galloped forward.

It didn't take long for Zhao Xuwu, who was chasing the deer along the bloodstains on the ground, to notice that something was wrong.

Not far in front of us is a stream that originates in the Chersky Mountains in front of us, and because of the considerable drop here, the current is a little turbulent.

Zhao Xuwu was struggling with whether to be bold enough to go straight to the water, when suddenly, a crisp gunfire came from behind.

"Bang-"

He looked back and saw more than a dozen horsemen galloping towards him, and the Russian cavalry were shooting into the sky while riding their horses.

Aha?

Zhao Xuwu, who was amazed, couldn't believe his eyes - how did these old hairy people find themselves?

He thought that if no one noticed the crash, he would not be pursued by the enemy, which meant that he could do whatever he wanted in this uninhabited wilderness, and he only needed to find a way to fight against nature.

As a result, I didn't expect the crashed plane to be found? At the same time, the Russian army really sent a patrol.

Obviously, there is no room for resistance now, how can a small pistol compete with a dozen cavalry guns?

What fucking bad luck! These old hairy people won't take their grievances out on themselves, right?

When is the time to exchange prisoners of war? said that he would go to Yanjing for a vacation with his fiancée, and it seems that he had to break his promise.

At this moment, Zhao Xuwu thought a lot. He stood still, slowly pulling out his pistol and throwing it to the ground.

But as the enemy army got closer and closer, he suddenly felt that it was very shameless to surrender without doing anything, and it was too embarrassing!

So he bent down again and picked up the pistol, then turned and ran.

This made the Russian cavalry who were rushing to be confused - you kid is very cunning, don't you make a false shot?

After running wildly for dozens of meters, Zhao Xuwu, who looked nervous, stopped at the edge of the stream and hesitated for a few seconds, but when he looked back, the shouting enemy army was galloping towards him!

He simply threw his heart across and jumped straight into the water.

At such a high latitude, the streams that originate in the mountains are naturally very cool, just below freezing.

The flight suit was soaked with water in an instant, and the biting cold water made him shiver involuntarily, and then shivered constantly.

After rolling up and down in the slightly turbulent stream for a while, he managed to stabilize his body, and then hit another stone with his right leg.

Under the pain, he subconsciously opened his mouth, and as a result, he choked on cold water.

Half a minute later, when Second Lieutenant Gavril led the cavalry to the edge of the stream, he could only see a figure floating in the water.

"Damn! Damn it! These cunning Khitans! ”

It is not easy to chase along the stream, and there are bumps of varying heights on the shore from time to time, as well as large areas of shrubs and woods.

Why doesn't this guy know each other? If he is obediently arrested, then after returning to the base, let's eat meat, drink wine, and after eating and drinking enough, we can choose a beautiful military prostitute and a beautiful girl to sleep beautifully, how comfortable is it?

As a result, this guy actually jumped into the water and slipped away, and this is a dilemma.

Let him go, all the work is wasted; Keep chasing, it's in trouble.

"Go on, chase!" Ensign Gavril, with a dark face, ordered loudly.

The depressed Russian cavalry shook the reins, and more than a dozen horsemen began to chase along the shore to the northwest.

After stabilizing himself in the stream, Zhao Xuwu did his best to remain calm and analyze the current situation.

The stream originates from the mountains and flows from southeast to northwest, which is exactly the opposite of its goal, so it must be disembarked as soon as possible.

In order to reduce the possibility of being discovered, it is necessary not to go ashore from a flat beach, but to find a place covered with stones or shrubs.

Knowing that he had drifted about three kilometers, he swam to the side, and then, at the right time, grabbed a branch that was almost close to the water......

After returning to the land, Zhao Xuwu didn't care about anything else, and didn't dare to stop for a minute before walking quickly to the south.

His wet clothes made him shiver with cold, his body used up calories to fight the low temperature, and he was almost exhausted from the extra effort he had previously exerted to maintain his body in the stream.

He knew he had to make a fire as quickly as possible to dispel the cold, and that if it got dark, he would almost certainly die in his wet clothes.

So he found a nearby dirt slope, found a depression behind it, cut some branches with a dagger, and lit a bonfire with a lighter under the big tree.

In this way, the smoke rising from the campfire will be diluted by the foliage, reducing the likelihood of detection.

The army infantrymen would have laughed at him if they saw his clumsy approach - how to make a fire in concealment was a basic skill, and the scouts were the best at it, and if they failed the evaluation, they would not want to eat that day.

Fortunately, there were not many Russian troops who came to search for Zhao Xuwu, and no one found them until the sun set.

Although the feeling of an empty stomach was very uncomfortable, he was sleepy and tired at the moment and had no choice but to rest for the night.

He took out a photo of himself and his fiancée and looked at it for a while, then fell asleep with toffee in his mouth and a parachute.

It was a thrilling day for Zhao Xuwu, but on the front lines of the battle between the two sides, the situation was very different.

From morning to evening, the 66th Infantry Brigade of the Russian Army, which was ordered to cross the border, was subjected to five air strikes of varying scales.

Although they had chosen to retreat last night, to Colonel Vadim's horror, the Ming army had unexpectedly appeared behind his side!

The rear road was blocked, the front was attacked again, and there were constant air raids during the period, so the "overwhelming" situation made the Russian army on the verge of collapse.

finally persevered until the sun set, but the reinforcements were still on the way, and his own situation was still bad.

"Kuzma, that stupid circus clown, what is he doing? He was supposed to arrive at noon! He must go to court-martial! ”

Colonel Vadim complained that Kuzma was the acting commander of the 40th Infantry Division — a skinny guy who usually liked to giggle.

This order to take the initiative to cross the border to stir up trouble was so hasty that the front-line troops were in a hurry and were not fully prepared at all.

Some of the Air Force's aircraft are still under maintenance, and the Army units are not fully replenished; The commander of the 40th Infantry Division was even in St. Petersburg for medical treatment, so much so that he had to be placed under the command of someone else.

The 40 Division had actually rushed to the front with all its might, but there were quite a few bombs that fell on their heads. Although it was the same five, the scale of the air raids was a little larger.

The Russian army, which was bombed, was in disarray, and finally gathered its ranks and restored order, and then was attacked by air raids......

This was repeated over and over again, and only 10 kilometers were traveled in a full day.

As a professional soldier, Colonel Vadim hated such military operations carried out purely for the sake of politics, but had to carry them out.

In his opinion, taking the initiative to cross the border to stir up trouble without adequate preparation is simply asking for hardship, and those guys in St. Petersburg simply do not treat them as human beings.

Right now...... Sure enough, asking for hardship? Look at this posture, if you can't do it, the whole army will be wiped out!

More than 6,000 people of the entire 66th Brigade were squeezed into an area of less than five square kilometers and trapped three kilometers away from the border.

After a whole day's efforts, the Russian army occupied seven heights or hills as commanding heights, and the brigade headquarters was located on the back slope of one of the hills, intending to fight the Ming army to the end and wait for reinforcements.

"They (the 40th Infantry Division) will be there tomorrow, we just need to hold on for this night."

Colonel Vadim glanced at the officers in the command and saw that the morale of the people was low, so he added: "Don't you even have a little Russian warrior spirit?" God willing, we will be able to ......"

"Boom!"

His words were interrupted by a sudden loud bang - it was a 112mm anti-explosive bomb.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of explosions as dense as popping beans rushed into the simple field command post that leaked from all sides.

"Damn it!" Colonel Vadim turned and walked out of the shelter.

Just as he looked up to the south, two bright red clusters of light trailed into the deep night sky.

A few seconds later, three or four bright white clusters of light appeared in the air, and they burst into countless rays of light, illuminating the entire field as bright as day in an instant.

The dazzling white light of up to 300,000 candelas temporarily blinded those who accidentally caught a glimpse of it, leaving only a white expanse in front of them.

Then, the rapid shelling that followed turned several of the vantage points into flames, and all that could be seen was the flash of explosions and fires.

"Let them report back! Immediately! Vadim ordered loudly, pointing to a hill a kilometer away.

It was obvious that the Ming army did not want them to survive tonight.

From ancient times to the present, launching night raids has been extremely risky, and in ancient times, only a small number of elite soldiers could carry out night combat operations. In addition to being experienced and easy to organize, only well-nourished soldiers are immune to night blindness.

In fact, the Ming army does not put night fighting as the first tactical priority now, and night battle is the second best choice. Because the risks are mutual, the enemy army is indeed prone to collapse, but the difficulty of one's own command and organization will also skyrocket.

If you are sure to defeat your opponent during the day, then it is not advisable to choose to act at night.

However, compared with the forbidden army in Chengping for many years, the army units stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years are much more proficient in night warfare - there are more training and exercises, and the officers and men are more psychologically adaptable.

Unlike the reckless night battle performance of the Praetorian Mixed 3rd Brigade during the Battle of Demagie, the 47th Division of the Army launched its operation with unique tactics.

The artillery support was very short, and there was no continuous shelling, and it was basically rapid fire.

Each battalion is temporarily formed into three or four "squads", the so-called spurs, as the name suggests, are knife-like assault detachments, relatively large but flexible, usually based on an infantry platoon, reinforced with a number of submachine guns or automatic guns, as well as mortars and heavy machine guns.

These elite groups quietly approached the enemy positions in the darkness of the night, and when the short artillery fire was over, they immediately launched a surprise attack on the enemy in front of them, or they continued to remain silent and quietly penetrated deep through the battle line.

At the same time, each regiment and battalion will also prepare the main attack team, usually two or three teams, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Multi-point infiltration and concentrated breakthroughs are the principles of night warfare that the Northern Army is accustomed to, and they have been tried and tested time and again.

At 22:46 in the evening, the temperature of about 7 degrees Celsius was already relatively cold, and as soon as the wind blew, the pervasive cold wind penetrated into the clothes.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Defending the 071 heights were two infantry companies of the 131st Regiment of the 66th Brigade, and in just four minutes, more than 600 shells of different calibers fell on them.

Most of the Russian soldiers were stunned by such dense artillery fire, and many of them were dazed and could only hear the continuous buzzing sound in their ears, and when they coughed, they were affected by internal injuries and trembled in pain.

"Stay on guard! Hurry up! ”

"What are you doing?! Pick up the gun! ”

The officers were shouting loudly, but at this moment, a poignant and sharp "music" suddenly came from not far ahead.

The so-called people don't talk much, and the top team basically won't shout and bluff before launching a surprise attack, and everything is based on concealment.

But when the assault begins, it is necessary to give the opponent a crushing blow in terms of momentum.

Two seconds later, a few dull "thuds" were heard, and then several black objects landed on the position.

"Gun grenades?!"

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Amid the screams, the flames of the explosion had not yet been completely swallowed up by the night, and more than a dozen figures rushed to the position.

"Enemy! In that !! ”
