War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 593 Waiting for a Big Fish

As soon as it was dawn, Wei Ran and Zhao Shengli covered the embers in the stove with soil, took the weapons they could use, and each carried two American-style kettles filled with hawthorn leaf tea, and rushed towards the ambush site. past.

When the lightly dressed two climbed over a ridge again, Wei Ran once again saw the winding road next to the foot of another mountain on the opposite side.

Compared with the place where he grabbed his tongue before, this place is indeed a good place to lay an ambush.Among other things, the straight-line distance between their hiding place and the road is only about 200 meters, and there is a natural flood discharge ditch less than ten meters wide in the middle. Although its depth is less than 1.5 meters, as long as a car If you accidentally drive in, never think about driving back on the road by yourself.

At the same time, facing the road where they are hiding, the tricky elbow will definitely slow down the speed of passing cars, and no matter which direction they are coming from, they must point the cab in the direction of their hiding just work.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage, at least Wei Ran doesn't have to worry about driving too fast and hitting the enemies in the car.

"It's here"

Zhao Shengli squatted behind a pine tree, held up the binoculars and observed in a low voice, "As long as the American planes don't come over, we don't have to worry. I'll go to the hill between my elbows later, the Americans After the car arrives, if you can hit me, I will shake you with a mirror, if you can’t hit me, I won’t send the signal.”

"Are you going to the opposite side?" Wei Ran frowned, he had never said this before.

"It's high enough there"

Zhao Shengli explained it as a matter of course, "And there is a straight line of [-] or [-] meters, even if the Americans find me, they can't climb up."

"It's a rocky mountain, and there's not even a shelter on it." Wei Ran reminded solemnly, "And the Americans can't go up, but their grenades can go up."

"Isn't there still you?"

Zhao Shengli really trusted Wei Ran, "Don't worry, I won't shoot unless necessary, and I will take away all the grenades. They can throw them up, but I can't throw them down?"

"What if the plane comes?" Wei Ran asked sharply.

"Why are you such a mother-in-law, comrade?"

Zhao Shengli pretended to be impatient and replied, "Can't I run when the plane is coming? Although the stone mountain is not covered, it will be a forest if you run a hundred meters away? Comrade Wei Ran, what are you doing?" Hit or not? If you don’t hit me, I’ll do it myself.”

"I"

Wei Ran opened his mouth, and finally nodded, "If there is an accident, you run immediately. Let's gather at the place where we rested last night. I will cover you here."

"Do you know the way?" Zhao Shengli asked back.

"I'm not blind, why are you such a mother-in-law?" Wei Ran returned the other party's words.

"Then it's settled"

As Zhao Shengli said, he put his hand into his bag, took out a grenade from it and handed it to Wei Ran, "Comrade Wei Ran, in case you can't escape, I will leave this grenade for you."

"Don't worry, I won't be a prisoner." Wei Ran waved his hand and didn't take the grenade handed by the other party, but just patted the captured pistol on his waist.

"gone"

Zhao Shengli simply collected the undelivered grenades, picked up the carbine and backpack, and ran halfway down the mountain in the rising sun.

Wei Ran sighed until the opponent's back was completely blocked by vegetation, pulled out the engineering shovel fixed on the backpack, and started digging for a bunker behind a thick pine tree.After clearing out a flat place where he could lie down, he collected some dead branches and leaves from the surroundings and spread it on it, and then he got down on the ground with a gun and tried it.

He didn't sit up again until he was sure that the shooting position was okay, took out the still warm kettle, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of slightly bitter and sour-sweet hawthorn leaf tea, then took out the metal book and finger The watch with the north hand fixed together was put aside, and finally took out the binoculars to look at the opposite mountain between the elbows.

One hour and seven minutes later, Zhao Shengli, who made a long detour, crawled on the top of the stone mountain that Wei Ran would glance at from time to time.

When he raised the binoculars to look at Wei Ran, the latter waved his hand immediately, and Zhao Shengli waved his hand immediately in response.

After a brief communication, Wei Ran put the binoculars aside, leaned against the trunk of the pine tree again holding the gun, and waited for the other party to send him a signal.

Until about [-]:[-] in the morning, there was finally a fleeting reflection on the top of the stone mountain.

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately raised his binoculars to look over, and then saw Zhao Shengli holding up the binoculars with one hand and looking at him, while the other hand pointed in the direction of the US military positions, and then stretched out his fingers to compare 1.

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately raised his thumb, until the latter also raised his thumb, then put down the binoculars, took the rifle and hid in the bunker.

After waiting for about 6 minutes, a truck coming from the rear of the US military appeared in Wei Ran's field of vision.

He took out the binoculars in the metal book and looked at it. A smile appeared on his face. There were two people sitting in the cab of the truck, and one of them seemed to be holding a weapon in his arms.

Putting away the binoculars, Wei Ran squeezed a dab of damp soil and rubbed his fingers vigorously, then wiped it on his trousers before gently putting it on the trigger.

After a while, the ten-wheel truck drove to the elbow, and its speed slowed down slightly due to the road conditions.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a clear gunshot, a hole appeared in the glass of the leading truck cab, and the driver, who was concentrating on steering the steering wheel, only felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"boom!"

The second shot followed, and after passing through the door glass, it accurately and luckily scratched the neck of the soldier in the co-pilot seat, and burrowed into the driver's neck after crushing his throat.

Before the second bullet case fell, Wei Ran had already moved the muzzle of the gun to the rear of the car. A moment later, a soldier with a rifle opened the canvas curtain at the rear of the car and was about to jump down.

However, before he landed, Wei Ran's third bullet hit his left rib.

When the soldier who was shot fell on the gravel road in the posture of a dog chewing shit, the truck that lost control also turned the front of the car into a ravine on the side of the road.

Before its rear wheels left the road, and before Wei Ran fired the fourth bullet, American soldiers jumped out of the truck's cargo bed one after another like dumplings!

"It's over! You have stabbed a hornet's nest!"

Wei Ran gritted his teeth, pointed at a soldier with a Browning machine gun and pulled the trigger decisively.

After the crisp gunshots, a cloud of blood appeared from the back of the soldier's chest that only those around him could see, and the machine gun in his hand fell out.

Regardless of the surrounding soldiers who were lying down and shooting at him, Wei Ran spotted the machine gun and fired the fifth bullet decisively, knocking down a soldier who was going to pick it up.

It was in such a short time that the truck also turned over into the ravine, but the soldiers who had already jumped out also lay down on the gravel road and started shooting wildly at Wei Ran.

At this critical moment, a hand stretched out from the top of the stone mountain more than ten meters high behind them.

The American grenade held by this hand has not only pulled out the safety pin, but even the safety plate has been bounced off.

"One thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thousand and three"

Zhao Shengli recited three numbers silently in his heart, let go of his hand decisively, and pulled his hand back while letting the grenade fall freely.

"boom!"

Before the sound of the grenade hitting the gravel ground reached the ears of the American soldiers who were no more than ten meters away from it, the shrapnel packed with huge energy exploded instantly, killing the soldiers who were still firing at the guards. All included within the killing range.

At the same time as the explosion sounded, Zhao Shengli had already placed the muzzle of the carbine on the edge of the stone mountain, aimed at the back of the truck that had overturned in the ravine, and repeatedly pulled the trigger, killing the few remaining trucks inside. A dumped American soldier sent home.

The battle ended in less than 2 minutes, Zhao Shengli raised the binoculars towards Wei Ran, and Wei Ran also raised the binoculars in no particular order.

In the vision of both sides, Zhao Shengli hooked his hands at Wei Ran.Seeing this, Wei Ran, who had already guessed about it, immediately got up, pulled out his pistol and ran over.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ran ran to the side of the road as fast as he could and asked.

Zhao Shengli, who was lying on the top of the rocky mountain, poked his head and said, "Help me pick up a few grenades and throw them up, and see if there are any good things in the cargo bed of that truck."

"you stare around"

Wei Ran greeted him, rummaged through the corpses as quickly as possible, collected a dozen grenades, and threw them one by one to Zhao Shengli on the stone mountain.

Swinging his arms, Wei Ran searched the truck with his gun in his hand, but unfortunately, there was nothing usable except boxes of Coke and various foods.

Picking and choosing, he stuffed a few bottles of Coke that hadn't broken into pieces, and then unwrapped a wrist watch with a leather strap from a dead body. Wei Ran then carried an extra carbine and a few Ammunition bag, Sa Yazi ran back to the shooting position just now.

"You can't refuse a watch from a dead person, can you?"

Wei Ran weighed the watch in his hand, secretly thinking about what Zhao Shengli would say when he turned around and gave the watch to him.

In Wei Ran's secret anticipation, a flash of light soon appeared on the opposite mountain again. When he raised his binoculars, he found that Zhao Shengli was pointing in the direction of the US military position, and then made a scissors hand.

Seeing this, Wei Ranbi gave a thumbs up and immediately got ready to shoot.

However, he didn't expect that after waiting for a while, it was an open jeep driving from the direction of the US military position!And behind the jeep was a truck with a machine gun on top of the cab.

"Wait until the big fish"

Wei Ran licked his lips that still smelled of hawthorn leaf tea, and when the jeep drove to the corner of the road, the driver who aimed at the jeep immediately pulled the trigger!
