War Photographer's Notebook
Chapter 1393 Monitor Cha and Xiao Xifeng
In the jungle filled with thick fog, Lu Yao, after getting permission from the squad leader, ran to the front of the team with his Zhujiang camera. He first took a photo of Wei Ran who took off his mask, and then took a photo of Wei Ran. The squad leader and everyone passing by took a single photo.
When he returned to his place in the team, everyone quickened their pace again.
At this time, Wei Ran, the leader, was extra cautious. If the memory of Cha Xifeng in later generations was correct, they might soon have a firefight with the enemy.
After walking nervously for almost an hour, they gradually heard the sound of flowing water and then saw a winding mountain stream.
After walking along the stream for less than ten minutes, the sound of rushing water in the thick fog became clearer and clearer. Soon, they saw a pool that was only half the size of a basketball court at most, and the cliff next to the pool. A small waterfall splashing down.
At this moment, Squad Leader Dao also made a gesture to stop advancing. Seeing this, everyone immediately stopped and lowered their bodies.
When Wei Ran and Squad Leader Cha gathered around, Squad Leader Dao raised his finger and pointed at the bushes in front of him.
With just one glance, Wei Ran noticed a hairline covered with dewdrops. He followed this line to both sides. When the knife squad leader carefully took away a palm-sized fallen leaf, he could still see a fallen leaf inserted into it. A Soviet POMZ-2 anti-personnel mine at the base of a shrub.
"It is more difficult for people to produce landmines themselves"
The squad leader just glanced at the vaguely exposed cast-iron prefabricated fragment bushing of the mine and made a judgment, "Let's change direction. There is no need to waste time in the minefield. Weifan, go to the right."
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately turned around and cautiously stepped forward, looking for the edge of the minefield.
Soon, with the assistance of Squad Leader Dao and Hai Dongqing, Wei Ran determined the direction of advancement and led everyone in a circuitous path along the edge of the minefield.
This time we only walked a distance of three to four hundred meters horizontally, but a river six or seven meters wide appeared directly in front of us.
Both sides of the river were covered with moss-covered rocks, with a waist-thick dead tree draped across them.
But on the dead wood, in addition to a variety of explosives that are not powerful but enough to cause injury, there is also a POMZ-2 anti-infantry mine that is increasingly difficult to produce by oneself, as well as a spider web-like trip wire, and a Various counterweights hanging from trip wires.
Obviously, this is a physics problem. If you cut off any wire rashly, those counterweights may cause this dangerous trap to immediately break its balance.
Not only that, this dangerous simple wooden bridge is also located at the narrowest point of the river, or rather, at a key location on the only way.
Going upstream, the shore is full of mines. Going downstream, the river is much wider.
Also because the river here is narrow enough, the water is also turbid due to the excessive flow rate.
Obviously, the water supply for this river channel is not just the small waterfall just glanced at the edge of the minefield.
What made Wei Ran even more undecided was that no one knew whether there were landmines in the downstream area of the river where the water flow was not so fast.
But he also knew that if it were him to lay mines, he would definitely not mind throwing something into the river.
"Shall we go there?"
Wei Ran asked in a low voice. He was no longer a rookie, and he could naturally see that the purpose of the minefield just now was to force people who came here to turn here.
Because of this, before crossing this potentially dangerous river, none of them knew whether the other side of the river was also a minefield.
"past"
Squad Leader Dao made a decision decisively, "After making such a big circle, it's time to go back. Wei Ran, Dazhai, guard the front and rear."
"Yes"
Wei Ran and Li Dazhai agreed to the task in a low voice. He found a thick tree by the river valley to hide behind, and raised his submachine gun to guard against the situation on the other side of the river valley. Li Dazhai also hid, alert to the situation behind him.
"Lu Yao, Xiao Xifeng, keep an eye on our prisoners."
Squad Leader Dao gave an extra reminder, then called Squad Leader Cha and Hai Dongqing to gather around, opened the map and whispered, "We are here now. After crossing this valley, there is another valley. Along that The valley goes northwest, which is where we separated from Platoon Commander Luo."
While the three of them were discussing the route around the map, Lu Yao and Xiao Xifeng were also controlling the particularly honest captive Ivan from left to right.
Similarly, Ivan, who was being controlled, was also observing the surrounding environment and the rushing river not far away.
"Be honest," Xiao Xifeng warned in a low voice when she saw Ivan's eyes rolling around.
"Don't think wrongly"
Lu Yao came to his senses and reminded in Russian, "We treat prisoners preferentially. If you don't cooperate well, we can change the prisoner."
Hearing this, Ivan, who was gagged, whined in response, and then bowed his head honestly.
However, at this time, he had already determined that the young soldier beside him who could speak Russian was a rookie with little experience.
"I don't know how Platoon Commander Luo and the others are doing now," Hai Dongqing couldn't help but whisper.
"I'm afraid it's still helping us attract firepower."
Squad Leader Cha said worriedly, "Otherwise, even with the few additional rounds fired last night, it would be impossible for us not to have encountered the pursuers by now."
"Now is not the time to discuss this"
Squad Leader Dao put away the map and said, "I'll go there first, make sure it's safe to cross the river quickly, and then find a way to join Platoon Leader Luo and the others!"
"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded to Squad Leader Dao's order.
After searching around, the knife squad leader used the hatchet that he had seized from the little prisoner Nahan who had been released to chop down a few bamboos as thick as his calf.
Splitting these bamboos in half and gently placing them on the rocks on the opposite bank, Squad Leader Dao took off his backpack, leaned on the bamboos and climbed over carefully, carefully checking his footing.
After confirming that it was safe, he waved behind him.
After receiving the signal, Li Dazhai crawled over second, then raised his gun and established a defensive position. Following closely behind, Hai Dongqing also walked onto the bamboo bridge.
With the first two people scouting and guarding him, he no longer had to crawl forward. He only had to carry the Knife Squad Leader's backpack and walk across the bamboo bridge.
"I'll push that old guy over first," Squad Leader Cha said to Wei Ran, "You go back and place a few mines."
"it is good"
Wei Ran responded, and then carefully checked Ivan's handcuffs to make sure they were not loose. Then he walked to the end of the team with a gun and buried two anti-reflective missiles near the set of footprints left by them. Infantry mines.
At the same time, Squad Leader Cha also pushed Ivan onto the bamboo bridge. However, just when he saw that the two of them had reached the top of the river, there was a fierce exchange of fire in the thick fog in the distance. !
The sound of gunfire inevitably attracted everyone's attention, but Ivan, the otherwise obedient prisoner, took advantage of this opportunity to attack. He slammed into Captain Cha behind him, and then jumped into the surging river!
"Lie down!"
Squad Leader Cha, who was about to fall, screamed. At the same time, Squad Leader Dao and Hai Dongqing each fired a burst at Ivan who jumped into the river.
However, before the bullet shell hit the ground, Squad Leader Cha had already hit the trip wire that looked like a spider web!
"careful!"
Xiao Xifeng let out a exclamation, and without thinking, she flew towards Lu Yao and pinned him down.
At the same time, Wei Ran, whose heart had hit rock bottom, quickly fell down driven by muscle memory.
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of explosions came directly above the river. The shock wave generated by the explosion also pushed away the surrounding thick fog, making the view in the jungle better than ever before.
"Crash!"
The water in the river that was blown up fell with a thin splash, like a brief rainstorm filled with the smell of blood.
"Check the monitor!"
Hai Dongqing and Li Dazhai on the other side of the river exclaimed, watching helplessly as Squad Leader Cha's body dyed the murky river water red, and then watching helplessly as his body drifted to the other side of the river in the blink of an eye with the pink water. Downstream!
"Xiao Xifeng! He Yong! He Yong!" At this moment, Lu Yao's crying cry reached everyone's ears.
Shivering, Wei Ran was the first to react, got up and rushed over.
However, Xiao Xifeng, who was being held in Lu Yao's arms at this time, had blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and a large amount of blood was dripping from his back.
"He Yong! He Yong!" Lu Yao cried out the other person's name and nickname, "Little Xifeng! Little Xifeng!" "Let him...let him lie down."
Wei Ran said with difficulty, Xiao Xifeng was not carrying a backpack just now. At this time, his back and sides of his body were covered with wounds of various sizes. Those wounds were all caused by the fragments of the explosives just now. , and the most serious wound among them, the thumb-sized scar happened to hit his spine.
"photo."
Xiao Xifeng grabbed Lu Yao's sleeves tightly, "Give it to my mother. Don't think about me. Don't regret it."
"He Yong? He Yong?! Little Xifeng! Little Xifeng!"
Lu Yao, who was almost collapsed, hugged Xiao Xifeng, who had left forever, and shouted his name hoarsely.
"He's gone, he's gone too."
Wei Ran muttered to himself reproachfully, knowing that he could not change anything. He clearly knew from the mouth of the later generation Zha Xifeng that a firefight was about to break out. He was obviously an experienced veteran, but he was still manipulated by Ivan. That bastard bastard took advantage of the loophole!
"Da da da!"
Just at this moment, gunshots were heard from a direction not too far away from them. That was the signal for the pursuers to gather!
"Now is not the time to cry"
Wei Ran pulled Lu Yao away and held him down with the help of Squad Leader Dao and Hai Dongqing. After a rough inspection, he found that there was also a wound on his ankle with visible bones!
"Is that guy dead?"
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken off the medical bag fixed on the chest strap. After tearing it open, he helped Lu Yao simply bandage the wound on his ankle.
"Hit, not sure if he was killed or not." Squad Leader Dao replied guiltily.
"Lu Yao has shrapnel stuck in his ankle. He needs surgery."
Wei Ran said while bandaging the wound, "The sooner the better, otherwise the foot may not be saved."
Just at this moment, from the direction they came, from the direction of the small waterfall, there was a faint sound of dog barking.
Subconsciously looking at Xiao Xifeng's body, Squad Leader Dao took off the 7013 command plane from the chest strap and ordered, "Hai Dongqing, Li Dazhai, you take Lu Yao to retreat now. Wei Ran, we stay here." Come down and cut off the queen."
"Knife Squad Leader"
Hai Dongqing was about to say something, but Squad Leader Dao had already put the command plane into his hand, "This can contact Platoon Leader Luo, but the distance must be close enough. The task of you two now is to try your best to Do everything possible to save Lu Yao, his life, and his feet!"
"Yes!" Hai Dongqing gritted his teeth and saluted.
There was no reply at all, but the sword squad leader walked up to Lu Yao and knelt down, reached out and took off his glory bomb, hung it around his neck and said, "Lu Yao, you have to survive. If you survive, use the artillery you command to fight." I will blast these wolf cubs hard."
Hearing this, Lu Yao, who was in tears, nodded vigorously and allowed the squad leader to help him take off the chest strap, but he opened his mouth and babbling, unable to utter a complete sentence.
For this prospective recruit, Xiao Xifeng's death may become a regret that he cannot let go of in his life.
"Take his backpack back too."
The squad leader Dao finally gave instructions, "If you must blow up the command plane and Lu Yao's equipment, let's go!"
Hearing this, Hai Dongqing immediately picked up Lu Yao, while Li Dazhai picked up Lu Yao's backpack, and the two quickly crossed the bamboo bridge they had just built before.
"Let's go teach those white-eyed wolves a lesson"
As the knife squad leader said, he had already picked up the Bayi bar that originally belonged to him next to Xiao Xifeng's body, and then put Xiao Xifeng's backpack and the chest strap that had just been taken off from Lu Yao on his back. He paused and said, "Push Xiao Xifeng and Comrade He Yong's body into the river, lay mines on the riverside, and demolish the bridge."
Hearing this, Wei Ran was stunned, turned around, dug out the anti-infantry mine he had just planted, buried it by the river, and then demolished the bamboo bridge.
Finally, he carried Xiao Xifeng's body over, took off the Type 56 chest strap on him, stuffed the magazines on it into his Bayi chest strap magazine bag, and then... His body was pushed into the murky river - this was the only way to avoid the indignity of his body.
He didn't dare to waste too much time. When he ran back, the sword squad leader had already handed over the Bayi Bar that Lu Yao originally used and the Bayi Bar that originally belonged to Wei Ran.
"Hit the opponent while there aren't many people around, and then we go to the waterfall."
As the squad leader said, he had already opened the folding butt of Bayi Bar's gun. Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately opened the butt of his gun, covered each other with him and started running back quickly.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
As the barking of dogs got closer, the squad leader opened fire first, killing a militiaman wearing black clothes and black trousers, wearing a bamboo hat, and holding a dog in his hand, as well as the dog he was holding.
"Da da da!"
Wei Ran followed closely and opened fire, suppressing other figures emerging from the mist.
Taking this opportunity, Squad Leader Dao threw out a few grenades and threw them around the figures.
"Boom boom boom!"
The explosion of the grenade easily suppressed the militiamen on the opposite side. At the same time, the shock wave generated by the explosion also allowed Wei Ran to see clearly the situation on the opposite side.
There were only five or six militiamen. In the round just now, they seemed to have wiped out the opponent.
He and Dao squad leader looked at each other, and the two of them took advantage of the cover of the surrounding trees to avoid the minefield on one side and quickly touched it.
As he got closer, he could clearly see that these were really a few militiamen in black clothes and black trousers wearing bamboo hats, and the weapons they used were also 56 and a half produced in China, and the only one with the same Type 63 automatic rifle produced by China.
Compared with these thin weapons, the backpacks of these corpses contained various mines.
The most common among them is the M14 anti-infantry mine inherited from the Americans during the Vietnam War.
"boom!"
Just when Wei Ran was about to pick up some landmines to replenish his consumption, a clear gunshot was heard not far away.
Seeing this, he immediately raised his gun, and he and the squad leader Dao opened fire in no particular order, each hitting the person who had just fired.
"You were shot?"
Wei Ran turned his head and glanced at Squad Leader Dao, and immediately noticed the gunshot wound that had just appeared on his thigh.
"Go over and take a look first, and I'll bandage it myself."
While the knife squad leader was speaking, he had already taken off a cloth belt from the waist of a corpse and tightly strangled the proximal end of the thigh wound.
Seeing this, Wei Ran quickly ran towards the gunman who had just fired, only to find that it was a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. At this time, she had been shot many times, but she still did not die, and in her hand , there was a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle produced in China.
"boom!"
Wei Ran shot the opponent between the eyebrows expressionlessly, then quickly turned around and ran back to the squad leader.
“Can still move”
Squad Leader Dao said before Wei Ran could speak, "Let's go, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Give me the radio"
Wei Ran couldn't help but put the radio that the other party was carrying into his backpack, and then filled the pockets all over his body with American mines that were no more than snack-sized, and then supported Squad Leader Dao and continued walking back.
Soon, the two of them saw the small waterfall and the anti-personnel mine blocking the road again.
"Let's go hide in the minefield," said the knife squad leader, who had already taken out a pair of small pliers and was about to clear the mines.
"You come on the alert"
Wei Ran couldn't help but take the pliers from the opponent's hand. After some observation, he first eliminated the anti-infantry mine. Then he explored all the way forward, eliminated several other mines one after another, and finally stood at the foot of the waterfall. under.
After searching until it was confirmed that there were no enemies here, he helped Squad Leader Dao in, and then rearranged a few mines according to his habit.
However, before he could pull out the insurance that faced the enemy, a small explosion and a child's frightened and desperate cry came from the other side of the waterfall!
"Is it Nahan, the future Cha Xifeng?" Wei Ran guessed the other party's identity almost instantly.
