War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 590
At [-]:[-] in the morning, the sky was already pale, and Wei Ran and others had already rushed to the side of a road behind the US military positions.Both sides of this winding road are covered with coniferous forest slopes, and there are also a large number of jagged rocks.

At this time, Zhao Shengli was sitting on a pine branch, holding a telescope and vigilantly looking at the two directions of the road.The other four, headed by Squad Leader Lin, were busy digging a roller-sized stone on the pine forest slope on the left.

Soon there was a magpie hooting followed by an owl hooting from the pine trees.

"Trucks! Lots of them! Covert!"

Squad leader Lin immediately understood the message from Zhao Shengli from the two vivid bird calls, and directed everyone to cover the excavation marks on the edge of the stone with dry pine needles, and then spread out to hide behind other stones.

In less than 5 minutes before and after, more than a dozen trucks drove towards the direction of the US military positions brazenly with their dazzling headlights. Some large-caliber howitzers were hung behind the buttocks of a few trucks.And at the end of the convoy, followed by an open-top Willys Jeep.

"Squad leader, it seems to be delivering ammunition to the front line. Do you want to fight?" A soldier in a military uniform with a Hunan accent said in a low voice.

"Let them go," Squad Leader Lin said in a low voice, "We are here to catch tongues, so don't delay the business."

"Haven't you considered that such four or five people might not be able to keep that team at all?"

Wei Ran muttered to himself with twitching corners of his mouth. He had no doubts, if it wasn't for the task of grabbing tongues, these guys would really plan to weigh the combat effectiveness of that team.

After a brief exchange, the woods on the side of the road became quiet again, and the huge convoy also drove past everyone's eyes and disappeared into the end of the field of vision.

Until the sound of the engine completely disappeared, there was also a burst of unexplained bird calls from the tall pine tree on the side of the road.

After receiving the signal, everyone immediately got up and ran to the opposite side of the circuit. After pulling the pine needles away, they continued to wave their engineering shovels and started digging to facilitate the boulder rolling to the ramp in the middle of the road.

As time went by, after re-laying the pine needles, everyone found a place to hide. Only Zhao Shengli was left alone, hiding in the top of the pine tree, watching the situation at both ends of the road vigilantly.

During this period, from time to time, there would be more or less trucks driving in the direction of the US military positions, but from the beginning to the end, Squad Leader Lin did not give an order, so everyone could only continue to hide in the bunker and wait patiently, watching the smell by the way Compressed biscuits that are much better than fried flour.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the magpie's "click" sound came from the pine treetops again, followed by several vivid cuckoo calls.

"Two trucks, coming from the camp, Da Li and Xiao Gao, unload!"

Squad leader Lin gave an order, and the two soldiers in military uniforms jumped out of the bunker immediately, pushing hard on the rock that had been dug for a path in advance, and allowed it to roll to the middle of the road under the action of gravity and inertia.

At the same time, Wei Ran also put down the rifle in his hand, and jumped out of the bunker with his bare hands, following Squad Leader Lin who was carrying a submachine gun, and hid in the bushes by the roadside as fast as he could.It was about 30 meters away from the location of the falling rock. If nothing else, when the two trucks stopped, they happened to be at the rear of the two cars.

And the two fighters, Da Li and Xiao Gao, who were wearing unsightly military uniforms, went to the other side of the falling rock to ambush.As for Zhao Shengli, he was still hiding in the pine tree at this time.In short, even with only four of them, they still want to surround the enemy!
"Two live ones, try not to make any noise."

Squad leader Lin reminded Wei Ran in a low voice, "Priority is to choose a pistol or binoculars, and then choose a black-skinned prisoner. If you don't have any, choose a small one."

"Why?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.

"The one with a pistol or binoculars is at least a lieutenant. Blacks are generally bullied in their American ranks, so it's easy to appease them and make them speak."

"What about the small one?" Wei Ran asked.

"Carrying and walking saves energy" Squad leader Lin gave a natural reason.

Wei Ran grinned, really unable to pick out any faults from the other party's words.

A moment later, the engine roared from far to near, and the dazzling headlights also illuminated the stone blocking the road.

When the two Dodge ten-wheel trucks pulling oil tanks stopped, and the door of the leading truck was pushed open, a white soldier jumped down cursingly. The people in the car got down to help.

"Captain Morgan, what's going on?" The soldier in the cab of the truck behind asked as he opened the door.

"There are falling rocks, be careful with your weapons on your back." The white soldier named Morgan reminded loudly.

"It's a long way from the front line"

Although the soldier who jumped out of the second car said so, he still pulled out a Garand rifle from the cab. Load up.

Soon, the drivers of the two cars got out of the car one after another. The two of them also just carried the M1 carbine as a weapon on their shoulders, and they didn't even load the bullets.

But the leader, Captain Morgan, was extra cautious, looking back and around every two steps.

Wei Ran made a gesture of a pistol to Squad Leader Li, and then pointed a finger at himself.

Seeing Squad Leader Lin nodding, Wei Ran immediately made preparations. Taking advantage of the moment that Captain Morgan turned his head, he jumped onto the road without a sound and quickly rushed to the other side of the truck at the end of the team.

Squad leader Lin's movements were also not slow. Almost at the same time Wei Ran got into the bottom of the truck, a lazy donkey rolled and got under the chassis of the truck.

Seeing that the other party was already in place, Wei Ran didn't delay any longer. He walked quickly to the rear of the first truck, grabbed the arm of the last soldier and pulled him over, taking advantage of the opportunity to grab the hair held in the other hand. The bayonet turned half a circle along the opponent's neck, and while cutting open the jugular vein, it also stabbed the sharp point of the knife obliquely down the throat and directly into the chest cavity.

Before the soldier fell to the ground, Wei Ran had already let go of the bayonet in his hand, and strode past the soldier behind Captain Morgan.

Almost at the same time, Squad Leader Lin, who had already climbed to the front of the first truck, also hugged the soldier who was almost in the same horizontal line as Wei Ran and turned his head hard, making a jaw-dropping sound of "click". Sour crisp.

At this time, Wei Ran's elbow had already collided with the hooked nose of Captain Morgan who just turned his head, and at the same time, his other hand had already pinched the wrist joint of the opponent's hand holding the gun. shake.

"Clap!"

As the loaded pistol fell to the ground, Captain Morgan let out a scream because of the impact on his nose.

However, the only person who could save him at this time, the driver who used to ride in the same truck with him, had also obediently raised his hands under the persuasion of the weapons in the hands of the other two soldiers.

"You guys, uh! Woooo!!"

Captain Morgan only uttered a few words, and Wei Ran stuffed his mouth tightly with the hat he took off. Then, amidst his screams of being blocked, he swiftly moved him. The wrists of both hands were dislocated.

"Who did you learn this technique from? Why is it so bloody?" Squad leader Lin also walked over quickly at this time, holding a Mauser bayonet that was almost soaked in blood in his hand.

He took the bayonet indifferently and rubbed it on Captain Morgan's clothes. Wei Ran grinned and moved to the side of another captured driver. Dislocated, he said perfunctorily, "The butchers used to stab their necks to bleed blood, and they died almost without much movement."

Squad leader Lin frowned, but didn't say anything after all, he just waved his hand and said, "3 minutes, bury the mines."

Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately trotted towards the coniferous forest by the side of the road, and brought over his backpack and engineering shovel.

Looking left and right, he saw that the two soldiers in military uniforms were laying landmines on the side of the boulder and pulling oblique lines on both sides, while Squad Leader Lin was gathering up the spoils. Wei Ran simply took out the mines and fixed them in the first tank on the chassis of the tanker, and tied the hairline to the transmission shaft, so that as long as the car dares to move, the people around will definitely be moved to go to heaven to entertain their pastor friends.

It wasn't over yet, he then got into the front of the second car, fixed the mine on the chassis, and fixed the pull wire on the accelerator linkage.

However, almost at the same time he climbed out of the car, Zhao Shengli, who had been hiding in the treetops for almost a whole day, ran over at the fastest speed and reminded, "Get out of here! There are convoys coming from both directions Yes, look at the large number of headlights."

"Both directions?" Squad Leader Lin frowned, "Take the prisoners and go!"

Hearing this, the two soldiers in ugly uniforms immediately picked up a prisoner each and ran into the woods.

"I'll stay and break the queen!"

Zhao Shengli said abruptly, "Without attracting firepower, there is no way to send the captives back on time. They will definitely keep chasing us."

"You guys go back, I'll stay!" Squad Leader Lin ordered involuntarily, "Da Li, you take over the command and take everyone and the prisoners back."

"Stop arguing, I'll stay, right behind the American ass."

Before Wei Ran finished his sentence, he turned around and ran back to the road. He leaned the Mosin Nagant rifle in his hand against the tire of a truck almost provocatively, and then bent down to untie the body of the American soldier who was stabbed to death by himself with a bayonet. Ammunition bag and backpack, and picked up the Garand rifle that fell beside him, and then greeted while running to the opposite hillside, "I'm better at shooting than you, they can't catch up with me."

"Comrade Wei Ran!" Squad leader Lin subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but then he gritted his teeth, "Let's go!"

"I can help him," Zhao Shengli said abruptly, "Squad leader, I am familiar with this place, and I can help Comrade Wei Ran."

Also without waiting for Squad Leader Lin to greet him, Zhao Shengli also ran back to the side of the road, tore off an M1 carbine ammunition bag from another corpse, threw it on his shoulder, and quickly chased after Wei Ran.

"Squad leader?" The two soldiers carrying the captives looked at Squad Leader Lin who was blowing his beard and staring angrily.

"go!"

Squad leader Lin gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Send the captives back first, and then come back to meet them immediately. Go! Go!"

The two soldiers glanced at each other, then started to run through the coniferous forest.Squad leader Lin glanced at Wei Ran, who was waving at him, and Zhao Shengli, who was saluting, gritted his teeth and stood up straight, and also returned a standard, nearly forever farewell military salute.
