Chapter 6 Saving His Wife and Children

After Sharman led the vanguard of the enemy's advance team to capture the Valley of the Wolves, the follow-up troops (two cavalry battalions, an artillery detachment, a machine gun squad, and a survey and mapping team) commanded by the British mercenary Major Cloun had arrived, and the size of the army instantly increased to more than 400 people.

Clounn was a retired artillery major in the British Army and is now a military adviser to the Sharman Advance Team, directly commanding the artillery detachment, machine gun squad, and mapping team. It is also planned to receive the military radio station and the corresponding staff for the advance team in a few weeks' time, and to be responsible for the normal operation of the station.

The core members of the mapping team are a man and a woman from England, the woman is named Catherine and the man is named Henry. Both of them were recent graduates of Oxford University majoring in geographical sciences, and because of their excellent grades, they were recruited as agents by the British intelligence agency in India, and after participating in a six-month special training course, they secretly entered China to carry out special tasks with the "Sharman Advance Team."

At this time, in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, a terrifying evil aura filled every corner, and the strong smell of blood permeated the sky over the entire canyon.

Although he had captured the entire Valley of the Celestial Wolf, and had enough force to break through any Chinese fortress and rival any Chinese army, Shaman was somewhat worried about the future goals of his operations. This was because he felt the awe-inspiring bloodiness of the local officials, tribal people, and even ordinary people in this isolated Heavenly Wolf Valley who would rather die in order to defend the country and protect their homeland, which made him fearful and made him realize that future actions would not be as smooth as he had originally imagined. The thought of the words that Sangeji left before his death made him shudder a little! Moreover, the person named "Ah Shan" who escaped from the Heavenly Wolf Valley was by no means an ordinary ordinary person. Now the whereabouts of the advance team have been exposed, and they may face strangulation from all directions at any time...... For the first time in his life, the murderous intruder had a deep sense of fear.

Shaman used the original Sharga Sumu Hall in Qingsongzhai as his command post.

At the command post, Sharman and his lieutenants, Crowne, Catherine, Henry, and the commanders of the two cavalry battalions were discussing their next move.

Clounn was very confident and said arrogantly: "General Shaman, your Sky Wolf Valley has been guarded by two cavalry battalions and my artillery squadron and machine gun squad, and you have also stocked up on enough munitions and materials, which is completely comparable to a large military fortress. The Valley of the Wolves has become an impenetrable fortress. Even if the Chinese army came to attack, they were helpless...... The following surveying, mapping, and reconnaissance work can be carried out as soon as possible. ”

Sharman hesitated a little, but did not immediately express his position, because he had another plan in his mind. He said slowly with a gloomy face:

"Yes, the surveying and mapping investigation operation is to be carried out as soon as possible...... However, in order to ensure the safety of all of us, I plan to conduct a carpet search at dawn tomorrow morning. Deal with all the remaining Mongols in every corner of the Heavenly Wolf Valley to prevent future troubles. ”

Catherine was apparently disgusted by Sharman's nonchalance to the mapping work to be carried out by the Survey Crew, and was disgusted by his massacre of the local population. She said coldly:

"General Sharman! Henry and I are here on a mission to study the million-year-old icebergs of the world's largest valley, mapping glacier structure, water distribution, and transportation. I'm not here to see you guys put on a killing show! Since you are an army, you should fight against the armies of the enemy, and you should never always point your guns at the civilians. But the people you slaughtered in places like Kashgar and Hotan were all unarmed civilians. Hundreds of thousands of people there have already fallen to the ground, and now they are slaughtering the Mongols here, it is simply unbearable...... From childhood, we always believed that only the demons in Grimm's fairy tales killed people. I didn't expect that I would now be in the company of a murderer who killed hundreds of thousands of people, it's incredible......"

Sharman was a little annoyed, and said sharply, "Miss Catherine! What we are waging is a just war, a just action to save the persecuted people and establish the 'Khunfu Khanate'. This is in line with the national interests of the British Empire! ”

Cloun nodded and said, "Catherine, General Sharman is right. ”

Sharman continued: "Your British Empire government and our Kokand Khanate are allies, and everything we do is also in the interests of the British Empire. Killing people here is not our goal, but it is related to the safety of all of us and the achievement of the mission of the advance team. If the Chinese government knows that we are here, it will do its best to deal with us, and you can imagine the consequences......"

Crawn took a hard puff on his cigar and said slowly, "Catherine, neither you nor Henry should be impulsive. For those of you young people who have just stepped out of school, the 'national interest' of the British Empire is an abstract concept that is not easy to understand. But I'll understand it in the future......"

Catherine retorted: "Mr. Cloun, the Kokand army defines the massacre of innocent people and the destruction of other people's homes as 'just war,' and our British Empire should have been appointed by Jesus Christ to assist them in slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians." Am I right? ”

Cloun was momentarily speechless, and simply continued smoking his cigar.

Catherine continued: "Sir, you came to China many years ago. It's just that because China banned opium in order to protect its citizens from drugs, which affected the opium business of the British Empire, we started a war to kill people, is this also in line with justice? Are we still a 'civilized nation'? …… I really don't understand what 'national interest' is in your mouth? ”

Clun was also a little impatient, and said sinisterly: "To put it simply. The dismemberment of China, so that they are no longer strong, that they become countries or regions that we can control, that no longer pose a threat to the British Empire, including our colony India, is the highest interest of our country at present......"

Catherine did not budge and continued to retort: "As far as I know, the Chinese do not mean the slightest harm to our British Empire, including colonial India. It's a fool's dream to say that people threaten us! I wonder what's the point of our country making up such a lie to cover it up? ……”

Clounn was a little excited, and said sharply, "Catherine! Young people should not blame their country unabashedly! We don't just mean actual military threats by 'threat'. What we need to think about is a long-term containment strategy...... If they have a stable living environment and a stable government, they will be strong in the future...... When this 'sleeping lion of the East' wakes up, it's too late! ”

Catherine scoffed at such remarks, and continued to retort loudly: "You are saying that as long as the country is stable, or that the people can now have enough to eat, it is a threat to the future of our British Empire." They don't deserve the right to live on this planet, do they? ”

Clun took a breath, a little helpless, and a little annoyed, and quibbled with strong words:

"Yes! Until the ultimate goal of dismembering the Chinese Empire is achieved, we will support the Kokand people to establish a state here, and it is what we need to do now to become a buffer zone between our Indian colonies of the British Empire and the Chinese Empire and the Russian Empire. It's called the 'Strategic Buffer State Plan', and it's a concrete manifestation of national interests, you know? ”

Catherine shook her head and said with great disappointment: "Forcibly seizing other people's homes, massacring innocent civilians, and labeling themselves 'justice' under the banner of 'national interests'. It's shameless...... We are the real savages, it's unreasonable! ……”

Seeing that the two were arguing, Shaman was also a little impatient, and changed the subject and said, "Miss Catherine! Your mission is still to map the glaciers, water sources, and transportation arteries, and once that is complete, you can be sent back to your home country......"

Kraun immediately interrupted Sharman with a wave of his hand and said, "No! No! Catherine, you have one more choice. Ten days later, our advance team will be able to receive the military radio station transferred from the Shimla military base. At that time, our core mission here has been completed, and the remaining work is to cooperate with the main force to take Korla and Yanqi; Then we will cross the Tianshan Mountains and easily receive the military towns of Urumqi and northern Xinjiang that have been destroyed by the special operation of our advance team. You can stay and be in charge of the operation of the radio station, which is an interesting job to be in direct contact with the various regiments of the 'Khunfu Khanate' army, the base camp in Kashgar and the military base in Shimla......"

Seeing this, Catherine had no intention of arguing any further, and said coldly: "Thank you General Sharman and Mr. Clun for your concern, I am going to rest." After speaking, he walked directly out of the gate of the command post. Henry immediately followed.

Clounn found it bored and said to Shaman, "I'm going to rest too." Tomorrow's mountain search operation, you can arrange it directly......" After speaking, he also left the command post.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright for a while, the enemy's "carpet" search operation began ahead of schedule.

The cunning and murderous Shaman ordered the search to start from the mouth of the West Valley and gradually shrink inward like a net, from which it was impossible for the living to escape.

By this time, the enemy had already taken off their white night suits, which were convenient for covert operations, and all of them revealed their official military uniforms: black clothes, black hats, and black military boots. A team of three enemy troops, each with a distance of 100 meters, began to search the dense forest on the mountain from the bottom of the mountain near the mouth of the West Valley......

A group of enemy soldiers came to the bottom of the cave where Ahsan Kundu's wife, Yunduo, and son, Baolidu, were hiding.

One of the enemy soldiers suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person who had climbed the mountain here, and there were footprints left on the snow, but the footprints were not large and not very clear. Sensing that something might be nearby, he motioned for the other two to follow the footprints towards the thickest part of the jungle......

The enemy soldiers followed the small footprints and finally searched for the entrance to the cave. An enemy soldier used a bayonet with a barrel to pick open the snow, grass, and branches that covered the entrance to the cave, slowly revealing the dark cave entrance.

The three enemy soldiers looked at each other, but none of them dared to venture into the hole. After some deliberation, one of the enemy soldiers pulled out a tube of explosives......

When the enemy soldier lit the fuse and was about to throw it into the hole, all he could do was "Whoosh! With a thud, he was shot through the neck by a sharp arrow that suddenly flew from the side, and rolled backwards down the mountain.

The other two enemy soldiers were taken aback! Turn around and raise your gun to search for targets on both sides.

Li Jiekundu and Meng He quickly jumped down from a height at this time, threw the two enemy soldiers to the ground, and broke the necks of the two enemy soldiers.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the explosives in the hands of the enemy soldiers who rolled down the hill exploded. The sound of explosions resounded throughout the Sky Wolf Valley, and the thick snow on the large jungle cedars was shaken down......

Ahsan Kundu rushed into the cave and shouted eagerly, "Clouds! Baolidu! ”

Hiding at the end of the cave, Yun Duo and his son were huddled behind a big rock and shivering, when they suddenly heard the call of their husband and were overjoyed! Hurriedly shouted:

"Ahsan! We're here! ”

When Ashan Kundu quickly walked up to the clouds, he was stunned! …… I saw that Yun Duo was holding his son Baolidu in his left hand, and he was also holding a boy who was about the same age as Baolidu in his right hand.

Ah Shan Kundu squatted down and took a closer look, and was surprised! He couldn't believe his eyes, standing in front of him was actually the grandson of Sangejizo, Cai Layer Batu! This made Ashan Kundu really surprised! Hurriedly asked:

"Batuu! How did you get here? ”

Cai Layer Batu snorted: "Grandma sent me here......"

Ah Shan Kundu hurriedly asked Cai Layer Batu and said, "What about grandma?" ”

Wipe her tears with her little hands and reply, "Grandma sent me down the mountain and let me come up to you myself." She said she was going to smooth out our footprints so that the bad guys wouldn't find us......" she cried as she spoke.

At this time, there were scattered gunshots from the bottom of the mountain outside......

Ashan Kundu hugged Cailayer Batu and Yunduo hugged Baoli and quickly walked out of the cave.

Li Jiekun shouted eagerly: "Quick! Hurry up to the top! ”

Everyone quickly climbed down the jungle trail to the top of the mountain......

At the enemy command post, Sharman received a report that someone had been spotted intruding from the mountain behind Nishiguchi.

He immediately ordered the herald to give the order to the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion:

"The people on the mountain must not be let go, they must be intercepted immediately!"

He still didn't feel at ease, and ordered the adjutant again: "You go to Nishiguchi immediately to check on the situation, and you must not let go of the people who broke in, and there must be no accident like last time......

The adjutant also felt that the matter was very important, so he hurriedly responded and left the command post, leading a team of men and horses to gallop towards Nishiguchi......

Li Jiekundu's team rushed from the top of the mountain to the slopes on the mountainside like snowboards. Ahsan Kundu carried his wife Yunduo on his back, Meng He carried Caijie Batu on his back, and another sergeant carried Baolidu on his back. All three of them used a rope to tie the person they were carrying tightly to themselves.

Li Jiekundu and three other sergeants were in charge of covering and breaking the rear of the team with skis and guns in their hands......

The black-clad cavalry of the brigade of Kokand began to desperately urge their horses to come from all directions, rushing to the bottom of the snow trail that Ashan Kundu was going to pass.

Ahsan Kundu rushed to the front with the clouds on his back, and led the team to the snow trail halfway up the mountainside, and was moving quickly towards the top of the West Valley Mouth......

Part of the enemy cavalry also approached the bottom of the sliding team on the snow track, advancing almost in parallel. The enemy soldiers began to shoot upwards...... Bullets kicked up snowflakes around them in Ahsan Kundu. Li Jiekun took three sergeants to shoot back desperately......

The high hillside on the north side of the west valley mouth of the Heavenly Wolf Valley. Battle was preparing to meet with a large group of cavalry. In the telescope, Ashan Kundu and the others slowly entered the field of vision......

Seeing that Ahsan Kundu and the others had approached the top of the West Valley Pass along the snow road, and more than a dozen enemy pursuers also appeared not far behind them, Battle put down his binoculars, drew his saber, and ordered loudly:

"Charge!"

Lead the group of men and horses to pounce head-on in the direction of the enemy's pursuit......

The high hillside on the south side of the west valley mouth of the Heavenly Wolf Valley. Xu Xuegong led a large group of cavalry to watch the movement of the enemy troops in the passage and defense post below the mouth of the West Valley, and was always ready to block the pursuing enemy soldiers.

Soon after hearing the scattered gunfire, a dozen enemy soldiers in the mountainside outpost suddenly rushed out and rushed to the fence on the passage below the mouth of the West Valley, and the fence was opened......

Xu Xuegong saw that these dozen enemy cavalry rushed out of the valley, so he waved decisively to the two sergeants who had been ambushed near the "stone pile" in advance......

The two sergeants immediately lit the fuse of the explosives tied to the arrow, got up and shot at the pile of rocks. With the "Boom! Rumble! With two loud bangs, the cable of the stone pile was blown off, and the countless spherical rolling stones in the stone pile "Bang la! "Pouring down, instantly sealing the bottom passage of the entire West Valley Mouth.

More than a dozen enemy cavalry rushing out of the mouth of the West Valley were blocked outside the mouth of the West Valley. The group of enemy soldiers first heard two loud bangs from the defense post on the mountainside behind them, and they were taken aback! When I turned around and saw the big and small rolling stones in the "stone pile" on the mountainside, I was surprised again! Later, I found that the bottom of the valley mouth was completely sealed, and the retreat was blocked, so I was surprised again! This surprise was not trivial, and it was completely frightened, and they all restrained the war horses and spun in place, not knowing how to advance or retreat...... The leading enemy soldiers suddenly shouted a few times, and the group of enemy cavalry rushed towards the slope of Xu Xuegong's side together, trying to intercept the attackers who had retreated from the snowy road on the mountainside.

The saber in Xu Xuegong's hand pointed forward, and he decisively ordered loudly: "Kill!" ——”

The brigade swooped down on the enemy cavalry......

These two small groups of enemy chasers who were reluctant to give up, where they could withstand the rush of the two prepared strong teams of Battle and Xu Xuegong, and they would be wiped out in a short time!

The enemy troops in the inner side of the West Valley Mouth, which were blocked by the rocks, could hear the screams of their accomplices being killed outside the valley mouth, but they could not do anything about it......
