Chapter 591: Making dumplings while it’s dark (two-in-one update)

Watching Squad Leader Lin and the other two men running away with the two prisoners and finally disappearing completely into the coniferous forest, Wei Ran asked Zhao Shengli who was standing next to him, "Why are you following me?"

p>

"If I don't follow you, you can walk back by yourself." Zhao Shengli said matter-of-factly, "I have been to this place several times, and I am familiar with it."

"Listen to me later. "Listen to you"

Wei Ran asked while checking the blood-stained U.S. military backpack. It was pretty good. In addition to two U.S. military cans and a few compressed biscuits, this bag also contained a There was a kettle full of water, a few pieces of chocolate, and a dozen condoms. There were even a few opened letters and a few photos of beauties of various varieties.

Obviously, this U.S. military automobile soldier found it troublesome and put almost all his personal belongings into the bag.

"You can listen to anyone." Zhao Shengli subconsciously looked away from the photos of beauties with almost no clothes on, and asked with an indifferent expression, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be impatient, wait a minute."

Wei Ran put his backpack aside and put the ammunition bag on his body and said, "Let's see what those silly old Americans are going to do later. , it’s best if they don’t plan to search.”

“There are quite a few convoys on both sides that I just saw,” Zhao Shengli reminded while hiding behind a waist-thick pine tree, “Don’t say anything about both sides combined. There must be twenty cars."

"Then let's climb to the top of the mountain." Wei Ran simply changed his mind, put on the seized backpack and climbed towards the top of the mountain.

Seeing this, Zhao Shengli hurriedly chased after him, showing an easy-going attitude that he would do whatever Wei Ran said.

In less than five minutes, Wei Ran also stopped when the two convoys traveling in opposite directions at the foot of the mountain stopped. Then, using the cover of the seized backpack, he took out the metal book telescope.

Due to the obstruction of forest vegetation, even with the help of a telescope, Wei Ran could only vaguely see the mottled outlines of the two convoys, and had no way of telling whether the other party had sent a search team.

Seeing this, he simply raised the Garand rifle in his hand, fired a shot into the head, and shouted in English at the top of his lungs, "Captain Morgan and the others are right in front"

"Put a shuttle over the top of your head," Wei Ran switched back to Chinese and whispered to Zhao Shengli, who had his eyes widened.

The latter was stunned, and immediately raised the American carbine in his hand and pulled the trigger

It wasn't until Zhao Shengli fired almost half of the magazine that Wei Ran fired. He waved his hand, fired again, and shouted in the direction of the foot of the mountain in modified English, "Don't let them run away. I just hit one."

"Run"

p>

Seeing that someone was chasing him at the foot of the mountain, Wei Ran greeted Zhao Shengli in a low voice, and Sayazi ran towards the top of the mountain. At the same time, he did not forget to continue to send out false signals in English at the top of his voice, "Hurry up and chase that person. I have a radio station on me."

Before he finished speaking, the person at the foot of the mountainThe US military convoy immediately sounded the whistle, and then Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli also saw figures rushing into the coniferous forest one by one.

"Do you have a flashlight?" Wei Ran asked Zhao Shengli who was running next to him.

"Yes, yes" Zhao Shengli immediately pulled out the metal flashlight on his belt and handed it to Wei Ran.

Taking the flashlight, Wei Ran pointed a beam of light in the direction of the US military position, and continued to shout hoarsely in English, "I see him, surround him quickly, don't worry about other people, don't let him." The one who ran away with the radio on his back must be the artillery observer."

After saying that, Wei Ran fired another bullet over his head, then turned off the flashlight and let out a scream accompanied by curses.

"Go, go, go fast" Wei Ran urged Zhao Shengli and ran out in the completely opposite direction to the US military position.

"You can speak American?" Zhao Shengli asked curiously as he ran, "What did you just say?"

"I said an artillery observer was found here." Ran grinned and replied, "Just watch, they will still have to chase them even if they use all their strength."

Before Wei Ran finished speaking, there were continuous calls from the direction of the foot of the mountain behind him< /p>

There were two dull explosions, followed by red firelight rising into the sky, so that both of them felt the strong wind blowing from behind and the dazzling firelight.

"Now they have to catch up even if they use all their strength."

Wei Ran joked in a low voice but stopped and lay down on a Behind the bushes under the pine trees. And Zhao Shengli was worthy of being a veteran. He and Wei Ran found a bunker more than ten meters away without even saying hello.

After waiting for a moment, Weiran aimed at an American soldier chasing up from the foot of the mountain and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang"

After the crisp gunfire, the American soldier rolled and fell, and the carbine he was holding flew aside.

At the same time, Wei Ran immediately left his original position and hid behind another pine tree away from Zhao Shengli as quickly as possible.

Before he could pick up the gun again, the American soldiers chasing him had already started shooting randomly.

Taking a breath, Wei Ran aimed at the one who seemed to have the fastest rate of fire and pulled the trigger again. Then he immediately moved the muzzle and fired another bullet at the enemy next to him. .

After the two shots, Wei Ran asked Zhao Shengli to turn around and continue running up the mountain. It was only then that he realized how important the hunter game he and Jima had played in the birch forest of Hongqi Forest Farm was. .

At this time, he even had the illusion that he was the original Ji Ma, and that the American soldiers who were attracted were the same as himself.

Leading Zhao Shengli to close the distance between the two sides to about 200 meters again, Wei Ran found a tree to hide, aimed at the bravest American soldier and pulled the trigger again.

After this shot, the American soldiers chasing behindOnce each found a bunker, they started shooting randomly in the direction of Wei Ran. At the same time, several vanguard soldiers rushed up with guns under the cover of their teammates.

Wei Ran did not move or fight back, and Zhao Shengli naturally did not show up, but they both picked up a fist-sized stone from their feet.

Seeing that the vanguard had closed the distance to within a hundred meters, Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli threw the stones in their hands in no particular order, followed closely by Zhao Shengli. He also poked out the muzzle of the gun from behind the pine tree where he was hiding and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

What astonished Wei Ran was that Zhao Shengli's marksmanship was unexpectedly accurate. Although he used a 1-carbine, he almost missed every shot.

Especially after the two rocks fell to the ground, the vanguard who mistakenly thought grenades were thrown over hurriedly left the hastily found bunkers. Such an act of committing suicide undoubtedly helped Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli a lot.

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately fired the last bullet in the chamber at an enemy who had his arms rounded and was about to throw a grenade.

The magazine popped out with a "ding" sound, and before it hit the ground, the grenade in the hand of the soldier who was hit by the Weiran also rolled down, followed by a "boom" A complete explosion.

"Withdraw"

Before Zhao Shengli finished speaking, he had already thrown out a captured American hand grenade, followed by another stone.

Under the cover of these two real and fake grenades, Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli changed their positions again and ran desperately in the coniferous forest until they could see neither their pursuers nor their pursuers behind them. The remaining firelight after the explosion stopped.

"You shot really accurately" Wei Ran leaned against a pine tree, pulled out a magazine, knocked it on the trunk and inserted it into the rifle.

"Stop praising me. If I can't hit it accurately at such a close distance, I will have to go to the cooking class to pick up swill." Zhao Shengli replied matter-of-factly.

Wei Ran grinned, changed the subject and asked, "That should be enough."

"It's probably almost the same. At this time, even if they want to chase Squad Leader Lin and the others, it's too late. "

Zhao Shengli paused here and asked greedily, "I think there are only a dozen or so of those who are chasing us. Should we surround them and just watch them for a day?" Damn it, those American soldiers fighting at night are no different than dead trash."

"What are you going to do?"

Wei Ran simply gave up the command to Zhao Shengli.

If he had long been accustomed to Mao Zi's recklessness on the Soviet-German battlefield, then in this large-scale local war after the end of World War II, he could understand it after following this reconnaissance team for one day. , these senior volunteers really think about making dumplings anytime and anywhere.

"The American position is on our right hand side"

Zhao Shengli said while loading the weapon in his hand, "Wait a minute and go around from the left hand side, you lead them Walk halfway up the mountain away from the AmericansRunning in the direction of the position, I laid an ambush and circled behind them.

According to our previous reconnaissance, the trucks driving from the rear to the rear at this time were all transporting fuel and wounded, and the trucks from the rear to the front were basically delivering food supplies.

So at most they only have a few heavy machine guns that are too difficult to get up. Now we are at least two miles away from the roadside, and with so many trees blocking it, those machine guns and fire sticks are also blocked. No difference. "

Zhao Shengli paused here, held up the telescope for observation and continued, "Without the support of heavy machine guns, and they are so close to each other, it is unlikely that their planes will come over. , so as long as we cooperate well, those dozen people probably won't be able to escape. "

"How long does it take to drive from their position or rear?" Wei Ran asked cautiously.

"It will take at least a quarter of an hour," Zhao Shengli replied.

"Ten minutes, then run away. "Wei Ran stood up as he spoke, "Besides, I am laying an ambush behind you. "

"Anyone can do it, come with me." Zhao Shengli put down the telescope, ducked and ran to the left.

The pine trees and protruding rocks halfway up the mountain Under the cover of bushes, Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli walked around to the side of the pursuers as quickly as possible.

After a while, as the sky became darker and darker, the pursuers were already inside. Some of them were not afraid of death and turned on their flashlights. However, the beams from these flashlights were still pointing in the direction where Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli had retreated.

Obviously, as Zhao Shengli said, these American soldiers were fighting at night. It was really no different from trash.

Hold up the telescope and estimate that the distance between the two was about three hundred meters. Wei Ran silently placed his rifle on the branch of a pine tree. , adjusted the sight slightly, and aimed at a big bastard whose entire back was illuminated by the flashlight even though he didn't turn on the flashlight.

After holding his breath, he adjusted his breathing. He pulled the trigger decisively.

"Bang"

After the crisp gunshot, Zhao Shengli, who was holding a telescope on the side, immediately said, "Hit. "

Hearing this, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief. There was some luck involved in this shot, but at the same time it was undeniable that the flashlight that was still swinging around at this time also helped a lot.

Re-aiming at the target, after some searching, Wei Ran pulled the trigger at a soldier who was firing.

At the same time, Zhao Shengli was already in the distance. Ran was about fifty meters away, using a hemp rope and the only three grenades left on his body to arrange a set of trip mines hanging on the tree trunks.

There was no need to communicate at all, it was difficult. The tacit understanding of words allowed these two "peers" whose actual ages were probably sixty or seventy years apart to exchange weapons with each other, and then ran in opposite directions.

Zhao Shengli was responsible for seducing the enemy. While running, I would trade it with Wei Ran from time to time.The Garand rifle fired a few rounds at random.

Wei Ran crawled down the mountain and moved less than 20 meters away, then hid in a dead tree lying down as quickly as possible. As for the pursuers, they had already Following the sound of gunfire, they chased in the direction of Zhao Shengli. Some of them ran relatively scattered, and even jumped across the dead wood where Wei Ran was hiding, and by the way, the fallen bark hit him in the face.

"Boom"

A moment later, three almost overlapping grenade explosions came as expected. Only single digits of the dozen or so pursuers were left standing. , and those lying down who could still scream were just a few.

After a brief

panic, these American soldiers immediately dragged their injured companions and hid behind the thick pine trees.

"I think we'd better go back now," an American soldier hiding behind a pine tree shouted anxiously, "We need more manpower, and it's best to call in a plane to help."

"We really need help"

A soldier who was bandaging the injured said very quickly, "Send someone back to ask for support. Maybe there are many enemies waiting in front. As for us. Remember a few months ago, Hagen and his search team were killed by the guerrillas ambushing them after they chased two Chinese people. "Ke, go to the foot of the mountain and ask for support. Ask them to send more people and get some stretchers. Don't turn on the flashlight. There seems to be a sniper on the other side." A soldier with a slightly hoarse voice gave the order, "Register the rest." Defense"

Before he could finish his words, the soldier who spoke first immediately stood up and ran in the direction he came from.

Seeing this, Wei Ran, who was less than twenty meters away, relied on his experience accumulated in the forest around the Hongqi Forest Farm to quietly hide behind a pine tree in the night. .

Almost at the same time that he leaned the carbine he had exchanged against the tree trunk and took out the Mauser bayonet in the metal book, the American soldier named Hank once again stepped over the fire that had just been fired. Hiding in the dead wood, he felt the darkness and ran toward the foot of the mountain.

However, just as he was about to run past a pine tree, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the tree.

Before he could react, the bayonet in Wei Ran's hand had been stabbed diagonally upward from the abdomen into his lung cavity.

Just when the soldier named Hank looked at Wei Ran with his eyes widened in horror and disbelief, the latter had already covered his mouth with his right hand and pushed him He leaned against the thick pine tree.

After a while, Wei Ran slowly pulled out his bayonet and wiped two lines of camouflage similar to Indian war patterns on the face of the still warm corpse. Then he pulled the only two grenades from his shoulders and threw them silently at the American soldiers who were protecting the bodies and waiting for support.

"Boom"

After two consecutive explosions, Wei Ran immediately picked up the carbine placed aside. At the same time, Zhao Shengli also left and returned, holding a Garand rifle and hiding behind a pine tree dozens of meters away.

"Surrender, we surrender"

A young soldier knelt on the ground with his hands on the back of his head, shouting loudly in jerky and off-key Chinese. Around him, except for a few followers, In addition to the survivors who had thrown away their weapons, there were also many corpses and wounded of their companions.

Wei Ran hid behind the pine tree and shouted in English, "You have been surrounded. Those who are alive turn on the flashlight and point the light at their faces. Hold the flashlight with both hands. If anyone has extra If you do anything, we will throw the grenade over."

Hearing this, the American soldier No. 56 who had a flashlight immediately took out the flashlight, opened it, and pointed it at himself with both hands. A face filled with horror.

"Shengli, don't come out yet." Wei Ran reminded him in his native language, and walked over cautiously with his carbine in hand.

Kicking away the weapons around these people with his toes, Wei Ran directed them to slowly stand up and move five or six meters to the side. He grabbed a grenade from the chest of one of the surrenderers and took away the ring. Afterwards, with their frightened eyes, Wei Ran said calmly, "Either do as I say, or we all die together."

After waiting for a moment, Wei Ran saw that the prisoners had no other opinions, and then He simply greeted them and piled all the weapons and equipment on them into a straight line. Then he asked them to take away their belts and used a dagger to cut open the laces of their boots. < /p>

"Enough, absolutely enough"

As Zhao Shengli spoke, he had already put all the edible things into an empty backpack, and then stuffed some bullets and two A kettle filled with water

.

Looking around, Zhao Shengli put two more metal flashlights and an American telescope in, and then handed the backpack to Wei Ran, who had already picked up the second empty backpack. , putting the captured grenades and half of the first aid packages inside.

Finally, without giving up, he stuffed two more kettles filled with water. Zhao Shengli put his backpack on his back and said matter-of-factly, "Comrade Wei Ran, tell them that I will leave it to them." The half-empty first aid kit is enough to keep the wounded going down the mountain." Hearing this, Wei Ran, who was removing the firing pins from the remaining weapons, raised his head in surprise, "Why don't you let them go down the mountain without killing them?"

“Comrade, why are your consciousness so low?”

Zhao Shengli said dissatisfied, “The newspapers have said that our enemies are not these ordinary soldiers, but those who plot conspiracies. , politicians who advocate hegemonism and interfere in other countries’ internal affairs. And they have all surrendered. We treat prisoners favorably, but we dare not massacre prisoners of war. That is a lawless act. "

"If you don't want to kill, don't kill."

Wei Ran threw away a carbine with the firing pin removed and said in English, "You are lucky, we plan to If I let you go, the half of the first aid kit on the ground might be able to keep the wounded alive. Now hurry up and carry them down the mountain."

"You are going to wait until we are far away and shoot and kill us. No," a white prisoner of war shouted in horror.

"Stop talking nonsense, carry your wounded and get out."

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already received a 1911 pistol from Zhao Shengli, as well as the looted magazine and Comes with matching bullets.

The prisoners of war looked at each other in confusion, and one of them boldly asked, "Can you return the belt to us?"

"Yes," Wei Ran said happily, He took the prisoner's arm and looked at the watch on his wrist.

"I can give you my watch," the prisoner of war said as he took off his watch.

"Comrade Wei Ran"

Zhao Shengli reminded seriously on the side, "We are not law-abiding people. Don't forget our policy. As long as the enemy lays down his arms, he is a prisoner of war. A prisoner of war." We cannot confiscate any personal belongings."

"I'm just checking the time."

Wei Ran took back his hand and said in English, "No one wants yours. "Watch, okay, let's go now. You won't be able to run away until I change my mind."

After saying that, Wei Ran threw the removed firing pins and other items far away. , followed Zhao Shengli and ran quickly into the forest shrouded in night.

"We survived?" the prisoner of war who had just taken off his watch asked in disbelief.

"It seems so."

The soldier who surrendered first put down his hands, "My brother is right, as long as you learn that Chinese sentence, as long as you surrender to them in time, you will be fine." "You can survive."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Another soldier who survived complained while putting on a belt for his trousers.

"At least make sure they are Chinese or Northern Han people."

The first person to surrender walked toward the nearby village with his pants in one hand and a first-aid box in the other. Wounded person, "My brother is in their prisoner of war camp. He was there last year. He wrote a letter to my mother specifically and asked her to tell me that as long as I surrender like them, I will definitely survive."

"Hunter, remember to teach me the Chinese phrase for surrender when you go back." The soldier who was putting on his watch again whispered, and soon won the echo of the other people around him.

While these surrendering soldiers were preparing for the next surrender and rescuing the wounded, Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli had also changed their direction under the cover of night and ran quickly towards the US military. In the mountains behind the position.

"Comrade Wei Ran, you have to review it carefully," Zhao Shengli said seriously as he ran, "You just wanted to steal his watch, don't think I can't see it.come out. ”

“Nothing, I really just wanted to check the time”

Wei Ran denied it, indeed, he just wanted to grab a watch,

But the purpose is just to give it to Zhao Shengli. After all, having a watch will be more convenient in the future.

"Explain it to the instructor when you go back."

"Okay, I will. Explained by comrade instructor. "Wei Ran didn't intend to delve too deeply into this matter, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where should we go next?"

"After climbing over the two mountains in front, let's find a place to hide first. . "

Zhao Shengli explained, "We will talk about other things after the Americans behind us calm down. "

"Or we can stay and cause trouble for them"

Wei Ran suggested in a low voice as he ran, "The road where we are grabbing tongues is obviously the American position. As for the supply line, as long as we come a few more times, the two of us can involve a lot of troops. "

"I think so too." Under the dim night, Zhao Shengli's young face showed an eager smile, "Come with me, I know a better position than there. ", please remember:, free fastest update, no anti-theft, no anti-theft
