Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2509 Burning Building (22)

There was a muffled sound of "bang", a small puff of white smoke rose from the ground, a cluster of flames flashed past, the full-loaded bullet was triggered as scheduled, and the fire cap was fired under the double pressure of the boss and body weight, and the instantaneous The flame passed through the ignition hole in the middle of the brass partition to ignite the propellant, and the lead bullet was fired straight upwards. The front end of the bamboo tube burst with a bang, and the large-caliber soft lead bullet easily passed through the swordsman's left foot, bringing bone Slag and minced meat flew into the air.The swordsman who opened the way in front covered his feet and fell down screaming. Everyone was shocked by the sudden change. Only Wei Mingchen stepped forward instead of retreating. Bloody and bloody, it is obviously impossible to move on, and in order to take care of this cumbersome lottery number, he has to leave at least one person behind. He looked around, and the rest of the people were watching him quietly. He really wanted to stay Let this guy wait for death or stab him to death, but he can't, Wei Mingchen took a deep breath and said: "Leave one person to send him back, and the others continue to chase."

Wei Mingchen felt a faint unease in his heart. What was waiting for him in front of him might not be a wounded dog, but a ferocious lone wolf.

A "bang" sound came from behind, and Xu Tong stopped and turned around suddenly. The power of a small booby trap is about the same as that of a 10mm caliber Mini bullet, and the distance of the gunshot is more than three kilometers. The clear gunshots mean that the enemy is no more than one kilometer away from here. Even if the field road is winding and difficult, but at their speed, they will be overtaken within three to ten minutes. Looking at the back of Li Baiqing who is staggering ahead, Xu Tong gritted his teeth, whether to fight or leave, maybe it has come to the moment of choice.

He has completely lost his sense of direction now, and it is difficult to judge where he is.However, he knew that he was quite far from any county town or major villages and towns where the national army was stationed.The enemy's choice of attacking this place should have been well thought out, and the surrounding area is open enough to ensure that no Australian troops around can quickly come to rescue.As for the militia Xiangyong, they will never dispatch unless they call the door.

With no support in sight, unknown enemy situation, unfamiliar terrain, no suitable equipment, and wounded, everything presented in front of his eyes definitely showed his own weakness. There is a high probability of getting rid of the pursuers, but when there are two people and one is injured, it is almost a dead end regardless of fighting or fleeing.

Li Baiqing has acted as Australia-Song's eyeliner among the people since the bombardment of Guangdong. Over the years, he has collected intelligence and cooperated in operations until the bloodless opening of the city. His involvement in Australia-Song's intelligence activities is so deep that he has been tested several times and has never wavered. It can be said that there are very few people who have not been exposed during the recovery of Guangdong. Because of trust, they are reused. When he is a partner, he is a companion worthy of entrustment.But when he falls into the enemy's hands, he will become a bomb that ignites the fuse. Overtly and secretly, even just revealing a few names may bring huge losses. He knows too much.If you can't leave alive, just stay here forever, Xu Tong's eyes suddenly revealed a fierce light.

As if sensing something, Li Baiqing suddenly quickened his pace. He walked forward with all his strength, ignoring the opening of his abdominal wound, and kept saying while walking: "I...I'm okay, I can still walk, I can still walk..." Accompanied by the sound of rustling footsteps, Xu Tong approached Li Baiqing step by step, his right hand slowly clenched the handle of the dagger stuck obliquely in the back of his waist, the palm of his hand oozing The cold sweat made his hands feel cold, and his breathing became more rapid.Seemingly aware of the meaninglessness of his actions, Li Baiqing gradually stopped his steps, and slowly turned his head to look at Xu Tong.The two looked at each other. Li Baiqing's eyes were full of fear, anger, helplessness, sadness and prayer at first. After a while, his eyes gradually became calm. Finally, he sighed softly and whispered: "I hope the Senate can forgive me. This old life."

Under Li Baiqing's peaceful gaze, Xu Tong's body froze, and the scene of Li Baiqing yelling twice to rescue him at the alliance meeting appeared before his eyes. His heart moved, and his right hand, which was tightly gripping the knife handle, slowly loosened. Xu Tong didn't know why he gave up, maybe it was gratitude, maybe he couldn't bear it, maybe it was like Director Wu said, people shouldn't be responsible for things they didn't do, Xu Tong couldn't sort out his thoughts, but he knew , once decided, will not change.Xu Tong's breathing gradually recovered, and his tense body gradually relaxed. He stretched out his hand, patted Li Baiqing's shoulder, left a wet handprint on Li Baiqing's shoulder, and said gently: " Lao Li, don't think about it, I mean, you can't run around like this, you have to think of a way."

Xu Tong said: "The two of us are tied up, and neither of us can escape. If we fall into their hands, you and I will have no way out. We will either be tortured or beheaded on the spot. If you hurt your family, you and I have no way out, I have a way, listen to it."

Li Baiqing nodded vigorously with a pale face, he could only believe it, because he knew that running away alone was the best choice for Xu Tong.

Xu Tong continued: "Although I can't know exactly where we are now, it is roughly near Liufenglin. I will choose a place to hide for you and make a disguise for you. When the pursuers approach, I will hit you head-on. Lead the pursuers away, and leave immediately after the pursuers leave. I just observed the surroundings from a high place, and there is a small road not far from the west side of the front pointing down the mountain. It looks like a woodcutter stepped on it. Don't worry about me. Just go west, don't turn back, it's better to go two ways than one way, life and death are fate, it depends on you and me, if you can go back safely, Xu will hold the altar with Brother Li and drink."

Li Baiqing's lips trembled, and he said, "Thank you Xu..."

Xu Tong waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say polite words, there is not much time."

After speaking, Xu Tong picked up the broken coat on the side, and took out a few strips of cloth sewn inside the clothes from the waist, cuffs, and hem. Each strip had several sockets, which could be used as straps or A tourniquet that can also be used as a camouflage belt.The key point of camouflage is not to clearly show the outline of the human body. The focus is on the shoulders and head. Xu Tong first picked up a handful of relatively moist soil, then poured a little water from the water bag, mixed a handful of wet mud, and wiped it on Li Baiqing's exposed face and hands were covered with light to prevent reflections, and at the same time, he took off all items that might cause reflections on his body, including the finger and a copper buckle, and then tied the camouflage belt on Li Baiqing's head, shoulders, On the back, I found a low-lying place nearby, covered with dense vegetation, and stuffed Li Baiqing into it from the bushes on the dark side, and picked some branches and grass bunches with the same color as the vegetation from the surroundings, and quickly inserted them into the camouflage belt He then used some to pile up next to Li Baiqing to cover his body. After the camouflage was completed, he stepped back quickly to confirm the camouflage effect. It looked a bit stiff at a distance of about ten meters, and Xu Tong quickly walked back for a while. Tidy up, until the outline and projection of Li Baiqing's prone body are completely blurred, no longer appearing abrupt in the terrain, and the camouflage color and the natural background color are nearly unified and almost merged, and then he nodded in satisfaction.Xu Tong looked up, the sky is getting darker, and the sight will become worse, which is a good thing for hiding. In a dim and mottled environment, even an old hunter sometimes cannot distinguish between a standing still person and a person in a short time. The difference between a tree stump, but as long as he is given enough time, all traces will not escape his eyes. This hasty disguise cannot fool a real veteran, and don't pin your hopes on the stupidity of the enemy.

Xu Tong walked to the bushes, cleaned up the remaining traces, and finally whispered: "I'm leaving, remember, no matter what you see or hear, don't come out, be patient, don't hesitate if you have a chance, good luck."

Wei Mingchen followed Xu Tong's footsteps along the footprints. Wei Mingchen had seen the buried bamboo tube mines. It was not too big, but it was not too small. Li Baiqing searched his body. Although he was not very careful, he did not find any weapons or extra items. Even if there were concealed weapons, they would not be too many, not more than three. Wei Mingchen could see such hidden weapons at a glance. The flaw is that it is too small and can only do point killing. Only when there are many people and concentrated in a narrow place can it be triggered with a higher probability. The use is very limited, as long as the road is slightly wider to avoid the main road. And suspicious points, the trigger probability will be greatly reduced, but this exquisite hidden weapon may prove that the other party is the spy of the thief.

Wei Mingchen and the others were divided into two columns, and walked more carefully, even if they had to endure the brushing of branches, they tried to avoid the wild roads trampled on. The experience of living in the wild all the year round made them walk not slowly, but there were no obstacles ahead. This made Wei Mingchen a little puzzled. If he encounters a trap for the second time, it will make the pursuers more cautious and fearful, which can greatly slow down the speed of the pursuit, buy him more time, and even give up the pursuit.He wasn't sure if he had inadvertently avoided the trap or if his opponent had given up resisting.He didn't know that Xu Tong just didn't want to waste the last booby trap on the possibility of being completely ineffective. He needed every piece of equipment to really play its due role.Wei Mingchen also looked up at the sky, the sky was getting darker, and when night fell, he would have to give up hunting, he had to speed up his pace, and his time was also running out.

Xu Tong held a dead tree branch in his left hand, and a tree trunk picked up halfway in his right hand. The trunk was thick at one end and thinner at the other. Insert most of the booby trap into the tree trunk, leaving only a small half of the head. The small gap is filled with wet mud, and the outside is fastened with straps along the outside to make a short spear shape.
