War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 585 White Light
Liu Yijiao, who jumped out suddenly, not only stunned the American soldiers on the side of the road, but even Wei Ran opened his mouth wide.

He didn't expect that the driver, who was regarded as his uncle in seniority, but not a few years older than himself, would be so fierce.And those American soldiers probably didn't expect that they could also experience what it means to "do whatever they want."

In less than a second, Wei Ran, who had reacted, rounded the engineer shovel in his hand, and threw it at the American soldier in the front of the car who was hurriedly pulling out his pistol. The soldiers took cover and fired a long series of bursts.

On the contrary, the soldier who was closest to the two of them, Drew, who was sitting on the tire, simply raised the Thompson submachine gun in his hands with both hands, shouting surrender in English over and over again.

"Go to the front of the car!" Liu Yijiao yelled, and at the same time he took the time to shoot a series of bursts towards the front of the car, and then immediately moved the muzzle back to the rear of the car.

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately jumped over the gutter, pulled the submachine gun that Drew was holding high, and checked it. After confirming that the other party didn't have a pistol around his waist, he immediately twisted one of his hands behind his back, and Put the barrel of the submachine gun on his shoulder.

Seeing that Wei Ran was ready, Liu Yijiao immediately shouted, "Go!"

After receiving the signal, Wei Ran pushed Drew, who was acting as a human shield, to the front of the car, and Liu Yijiao also rushed to the rear of the car along the flood drainage ditch on the roadside. Short bursts were fired again and again in the gap.

After all, Wei Ran was only one road width away from the front of the car, and his speed was naturally faster. After easily taking care of the American soldier who was stabbed in the neck by the engineer shovel he just threw, he hid on the side of the road to drain the flood The enemies in the ditch have also been included in his shooting range.

"Let go of me! You are violating."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go off and kill you right now." Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and leaned into his ear, and issued a warning in English.

However, before Drew could refute, the truck door, which was originally ajar, was kicked open from the inside, and it slapped Drew's face fiercely, and at the same time, it slapped the submachine gun in Wei Ran's hand. pipe on.

Subconsciously let go of Drew's hand, Wei Ran quickly stepped back and pointed the submachine gun that was originally held in one hand at the glass of the driver's cab.

Unexpectedly, the person hiding in the cab did not shoot with his head. Instead, he threw out an unscrewed Stanley thermos and jumped out of the cab where he was hiding, kneeling on one knee and raising it towards Wei Ran. down the pistol!
However, he also did not expect that a gaudy 1911 pistol suddenly appeared in Wei Ran's left hand, which was originally used to restrain Drew!

"boom!"

After two almost intertwined gunshots, Drew, who was sitting on the ground slapped by the door, immediately had a bullet hole in his left ear. At the same time, Wei Ran's left shoulder was also wiped with a bloodstain. A cloud of blood burst out of the eye sockets of the American soldiers in the cab!
This flustered shot hit the opponent's eye socket, which can only be regarded as luck for Wei Ran, but at the same time he hit the opponent, the splash of coffee from the thermos that flew over his head also It poured into his hand holding the submachine gun.

Resisting the severe burns, Wei Ran put away the 1911 pistol in his hand. Wei Ran picked up the submachine gun that had slipped, pressed the barrel against the car door and closed it again, and hid behind the wailing Drew again, pointing at the car in the ditch at the rear. The remaining few American soldiers fired a short burst of fire almost close to their heads.

At the same time, Liu Yijiao also walked around to the rear of the truck, raised the Type 50 submachine gun in his hand, and shouted with a strong accent in a way that was almost singing, "Frozen Wood Five~ Lei Crotch Shake~Ah!" James~!"

The only three or four remaining soldiers in the flood ditch looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end they honestly raised all kinds of weapons in their hands, and stood in line under the guard of Wei Ran and Liu Yijiao. on the road.

"Don't kill us, we are American soldiers, and we are entitled to prisoner of war rights." Drew, who covered his ears with one hand, shouted and asked.

"Fuck you!" Liu stepped forward and slapped Drew loudly, "What's your name!"

I don't know if he was intimidated by the two big mouths, or because Drew understood the not-so-friendly Chinese, but he finally calmed down.

"Are you okay?" Liu Yijiao pointed a gun at the prisoner and asked Chao Weiran who didn't look back.

"No problem"

Wei Ran glanced at the scalded blisters on the back of his right hand, and then glanced at the scars from bullets on his left shoulder. He resisted the pain and responded. After carefully checking around the truck, he reminded, "Liu Uncle, looking at the traces, it seems that a few got into the crops and ran away."

"Leave them alone, they can't run away."

Liu Yijiao said nonchalantly, "Come here and help, and unload these people."

"immediately!"

Wei Ran responded, taking advantage of the cover of the truck, quickly withdrew a few rounds of bullets from the Thomson submachine gun in his hand and put them in his pocket, before running over to take over the job of guarding the gun.

Liu Yijiao anxiously asked Wei Ran to treat the captives preferentially, until the latter patted his chest and made a promise, then he trotted towards their GAZ 51 truck and drove them away as fast as possible. Come on.

Let these searched prisoners line up and lie on the side of the road, Liu kicked Wei Ran to the back of the American truck, and then opened a wooden box.

"Why are they all canned food?" Liu Yijiao complained dissatisfied.

"What do you think it is?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

"How good are medicines, or weapons and ammunition?"

Liu Yijiao smacked his mouth, "It's the canned food! It's not bad. Eldest nephew, let's see if we can pull this car out. If we can pull it out, we can drive it back together later."

"Is it too late?" Wei Ran asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it will be too late."

Before Liu Yijiao finished speaking, he trotted towards the GAZ truck not far away, drove it over and shouted, "Hurry up! Hang up the rope, we'll just pull it once, and drive away as soon as we can get up!"

Hearing this, Wei Ran quickly untied the wire rope fixed to the front of the truck, and hung one end of it on the rear of the broken down American truck.

When Wei Ran was far away, Liu Yijiao immediately shifted into reverse gear and stepped on the accelerator.Amidst the roar of the engine, the American truck was finally pulled up after a difficult shake.

Seeing this, Wei Ran, who was secretly refilling the 1911 pistol, immediately called the captives to come over for help, put the wooden box that had just been unloaded back into the car, and picked out two captives to replace them as quickly as possible. tires.

After everything was done, Liu Yijiao also tied the hands of the rest of the captives behind their backs and blasted them into the cargo bed of the GAZ truck. By the way, he also called Wei Ran to pack up all the things worth taking away.

After the last two captives were driven into the cargo bucket, Liu Yijiao asked worriedly, "Can you drive that car?"

"Don't worry!" Wei Ran patted his chest and made a promise, "I will follow you, if they are dishonest, I will shoot immediately."

"If the plane is coming, get out of the way immediately." Liu Yijiao finally ordered, and then trotted towards the cab of the GAZ truck.

Seeing this, Wei Ran also got into the cab of this American truck.

To his surprise, there was a Stanley kettle in the cab of the truck. He unscrewed the lid and smelled it, and the coffee inside was still boiling hot.

Not being too polite, Wei Ran directly poured himself a small cup and took a sip, then started the car, stepped on the accelerator and followed the GAZ truck.

The distance between the two cars was less than 20 meters. Under the leadership of Liu Yijiao, they turned on their original route and continued to drive towards the destination.

Along the way, Wei Ran was also secretly thinking about who among the captives was the athlete who participated in the sports meeting, and who was the father of the American lawyer who gave him his cap badge.

However, the most urgent task now is undoubtedly to arrive at the destination as soon as possible before dawn.Otherwise, their two cars, such a big target, might not be able to hide from the American plane at all.

In his thoughts, the leading GAZ truck was driving faster and faster, and the distance between the two vehicles was also slightly widening.

Finally, when they drove along the road into the mountains again, and even crossed a gravel road covered by a stream, a lush campsite finally appeared in front of them.

There are no decent buildings in this camp, but at the foot of the mountain, there is a camouflaged hole under a tall oak tree. Looking at the busy people around, it is obvious that there is a lot of space inside.In addition, under almost every tree in the surrounding area, there is a well-disguised shack, and there seem to be some camouflaged trucks parked further away.

"Old Zhang, hurry up and take people to the cargo fight, and capture a few American devils!" Liu Yijiao didn't wait for the engine to stop, and slapped on the car door to greet him, "There are still cars!"

"We also said why you haven't followed up for so long, and we are about to send someone to pick you up!"

A man who seemed to be in his forties had already commanded the soldiers to surround the cargo bed of the GAZ truck while speaking, and he did not forget to separate out some people to surround the truck driven by Wei Ran.

"This car is full of canned food, and there are no living people." Wei Ran jumped out of the cab while speaking.

"It's really yours!"

A soldier who appeared to be in his thirties patted Wei Ran affectionately on the shoulder, and joked, "You've just graduated."

"The main thing is that my uncle commanded well." Wei Ran said modestly with a smirk on his lips.

"Okay, leave it to us here, you guys hurry up and eat something to rest, there will be transportation tasks in the evening!"

"Hurry up and go"

Liu Yijiao also greeted Wei Ran with a pipe and pot in his mouth, "You bastard, you haven't hidden anything?"

"How can it be?" Wei Ran quickly patted his pocket, "I was thirsty on the way and drank a bowl of hot water from their car."

"Okay, let's go."

While Liu Yijiao was speaking, he handed over Wei Ran's canvas bag, and walked straight to a well-disguised shack not far away.

The space in this shack is not too big, it’s just two wooden beds. In addition, there are some objects such as washbasins near the wall, and on the table between the two beds, There is also an oil lamp made of a rough china bowl.The black smoke from the burning of this oil lamp has already blackened a large piece of the log on the top.

"Take off the dirty clothes quickly, and then I'll take you to bandage the wound." Liu Yijiao had already taken off his stained clothes while speaking, "If you go in these dirty clothes, it will be very difficult to change in the future. "

"Uncle Liu, where will those American soldiers be sent?" Wei Ran asked casually while taking off his upper body clothes.

"I don't know"

Liu Yijiao washed his hands indiscriminately, "However, our volunteer army treats the prisoners preferentially. I reckon that they will definitely be sent to a prisoner-of-war camp, but I don't know where the prisoner-of-war camp will be sent. It's not our turn to worry about it. "

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you rushed out?"

Wei Ran had already taken off the hat on his head while speaking, but then he was stunned, there was no badge on the hat!Look at the hat that Liu Yijiao took off, there is also no cap badge on it!
"Where's the cap badge?" Wei Ran murmured subconsciously.

"You bastard, are you driving in a daze?"

Liu Yijiao took Wei Ran's hat from Wei Ran's hand, and explained naturally, "Before we crossed the Yalu River, didn't we take off the cap badge and badge? How many times has the instructor said it? We are The Volunteer Army, not the People's Liberation Army! Why are you still so confused?"

"Yup."

Wei Ran looked at the hat in his hand and muttered to himself, "The Volunteer Army doesn't have a cap badge, but if it doesn't, where did that cap badge come from?"

Before he could figure out the cause and effect, Wei Ran found that the military cap he was staring at became more and more blurred, and a strong white light appeared in his vision!
