Chapter 1388 The other side of the mountain(2/2)
On the right side of the team, Wei Ran just made himself a hat brim with a banana leaf he cut off and stuffed it into his mask, but did not choose to put on a waterproof and warm raincoat.
The heavy black raincoat was too conspicuous in the jungle, and the hood of the raincoat also blocked the view too much.
After wiping the rain off his face, Wei Yan kept a distance of about 10 meters from the loose team at the side and front. At the same time, he also paid attention to whether there were traces of accompanying hair lines or mines where he landed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to these man-made dangers, the remaining threats come from the vines blocking the path forward. In these vines, snakes and insects that are not known to be poisonous or not are often hidden.
The only thing he was lucky about was that the low temperature caused by the rain made these cold-blooded animals less active and would not come up to kiss him.
Led by Captain Dao who seemed to be unaware of fatigue, their loose but extremely vigilant team quietly cut their way up the mountainside under the cover of heavy rain, gradually closing the distance to their destination.
When night fell, the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping, and they stopped at the edge of a valley raging with floods due to the obstruction of flash floods.
As Wei Ran watched, the knife squad leader pulled out a hand saw that was not in the equipment list from his bag, cut off the crown and branches of an unknown small tree with a thick wrist and threw it into the flood.
.
After making some rough gestures, he took the rope handed over by Zhao Yuejin, tied one end to the waist of the small tree, and then stuck the three-claw climbing hook tied to the other end to the small bald tree.
top.
"Pull together"
The knife squad leader said hello, and immediately, except for Wang Beizhan, who was on guard with a machine gun, the others helped to grasp the rope and began to pull back hard.
With the combined force of dragging, the small naked tree was quickly bent. The sword squad leader at the front also slowly moved his steps and aimed at a tree on the opposite side of the valley.
"3,2,1, let go!"
Following the command of the knife squad leader, everyone let go. The little tree that instantly returned to its right position was like a large slingshot, and easily threw the rope into the crown of a big tree on the other side.
Gently pulling the rope to tighten it, the squad leader tied the excess part to another tree trunk that was as thick as a thigh and tried it. Then he took off his equipment and said, "I'll go there first."
Before he finished speaking, he was already climbing on the rope, almost touching the surface of the mountain torrent, and climbed over briskly.
When the other party stood on the other side and waved to everyone, Squad Leader Cha immediately let go of the rope, and Squad Leader Dao on the other side also pulled the rope over and tied it to a stronger tree trunk.
When the other party signaled again, Platoon Leader Luo used the hand saw left by the other party to cut off the small tree at the base, threw the slender trunk into the flood, and then covered it with the rotten vegetation that could be seen everywhere.
Lived on a tree stump.
At the same time, Hai Dongqing was the first to climb over on the rope, followed by the prisoner Zhang Hongliang and Li Dazhai, and each of them helped Squad Leader Dao get something.
When Wei Ran also carried the Knife Squad Leader's backpack and quickly climbed over behind Lu Yao, only Machine Gunner Wang Beizhan and Platoon Leader Luo were left on the other side.
While everyone was waiting, Wang Beizhan was the first to crawl over and set up the machine gun again.
Immediately after, Platoon Leader Luo also climbed over with a loose rope in his teeth.
After a final inspection, Platoon Leader Luo tugged hard on the rope he had brought, and the tight rope across the mountain torrent immediately loosened, allowing Wei Ran and Zhao Yuejin to take it back, and each
Stuffed into bag.
“That’s the main peak of Laoshan”
The squad leader raised his finger and pointed to a faintly visible black mountain line in the direction they came from, "We can find a place to rest for the time being. We have only walked a third of the way, but it is also the most difficult third. The remaining
The walking part is much easier.”
As he said that, he turned around and led everyone to still approach the ridge line diagonally across the mountainside.
By the time they crossed the ridgeline in the rain, although it was only less than six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting darker and darker due to the rain. Everyone also shortened the distance between each other and followed Squad Leader Dao in the dark jungle.
Turning left and right all the way, I finally reached the foot of the mountain with difficulty and found a cliff to shelter from the rain.
The bottom of the cliff is recessed about four to five meters inward, and there is a gap half a meter wide close to the ground.
If you get close to this gap, you can still hear the rushing sound of the underground river flowing inside.
After exploring the surrounding area, they finally cleared away the dead branches and bones of unknown animals scattered in the area under the cliff that would not be affected by the rain. They worked in pairs and surrounded each small pointed tent with thick raincoats.
, and then each of them hid in holding a gun.
This time, the first people on night duty became engineers Zhao Yuejin and platoon leader Luo. One of them was secretly watching, and the passwords were changed to "prepare for war" and "August 1st".
In the relatively warm tent, Wei Ran took off his soaked clothes, shoes and leggings, and wiped his whole body with a towel. After drying slightly, he put on damp autumn clothes and long trousers.
Then the Type 64 submachine gun he used and the Bayi bar lent to Lu Yao were basically wiped and maintained.
On the other hand, Lu Yao, who was in the same tent as him, was currently putting his head into his empty backpack and shining it with his small, pitiful flashlight. He didn't know what he was busy with.
Glancing at the Pearl River camera hung on the top of the tent, Wei Ran quietly took out the camera from the metal book. After some adjustments, he lifted up his raincoat slightly to let in the last ray of light from outside, and then faced the other party.
Pressed the shutter.
After secretly taking a photo of him, he pointed the camera at several other tents not far away, and pressed the shutter towards the three squad leaders Dao who were discussing something in low voices with squad leader Cha and Hai Dongqing, and then
Then he pressed the shutter one by one towards Xiao Xifeng who was checking the radio station, and the prisoners Zhang Hongliang and Li Dazhai who were also sitting at the entrance of the tent cleaning their guns.
Hearing the movement from the tent behind him, Wei Ran immediately put away the camera in his hand and turned to look at Lu Yao, who had just taken his head out of the backpack.
"What are you doing?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.
"nothing"
Lu Yao grinned and whispered while loading things into his backpack, "I just looked at the map. If I'm not wrong, we are still 14 kilometers away from our destination in a straight line. I guess we still have to walk."
It will take at least two days.”
"Can't walk anymore?"
Wei Ran asked in a low voice. At the same time, he did not forget to shake the two-layered camouflage uniform that had been drained of water, and then tied it with leggings and shook it vigorously a few times. Quan thought he was cosplaying in a washing machine.
After this dehydration, which was better than nothing, he folded his still damp camouflage uniform and used it as a pillow.
As for sun-drying, don't dream about it, unless the Americans spread enough Agent Orange over several kilometers to kill all the vegetation.
"I'm sure I can move. How can I get there?"
Lu Yao took advantage of Wei Ran's busy work and took out his camera to take a few photos, and then said rather harshly, "I'm not bragging about you, brother, I was..."
"If you have the strength, eat something and go to bed early."
As he spoke, Wei Ran lay down with his weapon in his arms. He took out a piece of compressed biscuit and broke it in half. He gave one half to the other party and said at the same time, "If you are not sleepy, you can go on watch with me later in the night."
Hearing this, Lu Yao grinned and glanced at Wei Ran, who was wearing autumn clothes and long trousers. He first took the biscuits and put them on the kettle. Then he followed the former's example and took off his five-leaf camouflage, wringing out the water and rolling it up.
I wiped off the water stains on my body and put on my damp autumn clothes and trousers.
"Hey, Wei Ran, do you speak Vietnamese?" Lu Yao lay down and asked in a low voice, taking a bite of the biscuit.
"Yes, you want to learn?"
While Wei Ran was talking, he put the last bit of biscuit crumbs into his mouth, then took out two water bottles and poured into his stomach the little bit of sour plum juice and jasmine tea left in them.
"I won't learn that useless thing."
Lu Yao also drank all the water in his own kettle, and while tightening the lid, he explained in a low voice, "But I think Xiao Xifeng really wants to learn."
"Why is he learning that?" Wei Ran asked casually, but he had already closed his eyes.
"What else can I do, just argue with those white-eyed wolves on the radio?"
Lu Yao gloated and said, "You don't know, the radio station is so lively... Wei Ran? Wei Ran? Hey..."
Before he could finish his words, he found that Wei Ran was already snoring slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Yao wisely closed his mouth, took out the heavy M65 windbreaker from his bag, and after thinking about it for a while, he gently covered Wei Ran's body with it.
