The strongest soldier

The enemy's sudden and complete withdrawal was strange, which made Xu Gang suspicious, and even surprised the mountain eagle who was well prepared to avoid its sharp edge. With the enemy's strength and combat effectiveness, whether it was a dangerous attack or a full-scale pursuit, there would be a battle. He has strong power and a high chance of winning, so why did he suddenly evacuate? Because there was an order from above? Or do you want to leave the dangerous area and make your troops more flexible? Or is there a bigger conspiracy behind it?

After some hesitation, Shandiao immediately contacted Xu Gang, and carefully understood the enemy's situation. He decisively ordered all the troops to pursue them. The pursuit troops were handed over to Xu Gang's command, and he quickly led Manniu and others on the cliff down the mountain. , along the way, the mountain eagle kept thinking about various possibilities, but couldn't figure it out.

When they came to the dense forest on the hillside below the cliff, Shan Diao also saw a messy position, many tunnels that had been bombed, empty houses, etc., but there was no one. Things were weird, Shan Diao pondered for a moment with a cold face. , immediately asked Manniu to take the people around him to carefully inspect the hillside, not missing any details, and quickly came to a tunnel that had been collapsed by the bombing to observe carefully.

The tunnel was large enough for one person to walk down directly. Judging from the direction of the tunnel, it should lead to the underground space inside the cliff. Unfortunately, it completely collapsed. It would take several days to dig and clear it. The mountain eagle slowly stood up and looked up at the cliff. The tunnel above The cave was bombed beyond recognition, and the entrance was no longer visible. The mountain eagle climbed up uneasily.

There are protruding rocks everywhere on the cliff. It is easy to climb without anyone blocking it. Ten minutes later, the mountain eagle climbed up to the cave on the cliff. The open platform at the entrance of the cave was filled with corpses and scattered guns and ammunition. The enemy I walked in a hurry and ignored these people. The long entrance was completely blocked by many stones, leaving no gaps and making it impossible to enter.

If there were people in the space inside the cliff, they would be suffocated by such a tight blockade. Since the enemy had evacuated, important supplies and evidence must have been destroyed. Even if the passage was cleared to enter, it would be of little significance. The mountain eagle observed carefully for a moment and quickly came down the cliff. , Man Niu hurriedly came up and said in a deep voice: "Report, found a tunnel full of enemy corpses."

"Oh? Take a look." The mountain eagle said in surprise.

The two hurriedly walked in one direction, and soon came to a steep slope. The steep slope was covered with bushes and lush vegetation. At first glance, it was difficult to find that there was a tunnel inside. Two brothers were guarding the side, and the bull led the mountain eagle. When we arrived at the entrance of the tunnel, we pulled out the grass so that the mountain eagles could observe.

The mountain eagle walked forward and knelt down to check, and found that there were indeed many corpses in a dark tunnel. The interior of the tunnel was covered with moss and it was dark. Apparently no one walked around at ordinary times, and the corpses belonged to the enemy. The mountain eagle got up and He followed the direction of the tunnel and checked the surrounding terrain. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "It looks like an abandoned dead hole. The enemy used it to put corpses."

"It seems so. It doesn't look like a frequently used cave anyway." Manniu also agreed.

"The dead are the most important, so don't bother them. Just blow up the entrance of the cave and bury them. Don't let wild beasts swallow these people." The mountain eagle gave a moral instruction, walked up the hillside, and came to several rooms. Observing in the wooden house, in addition to the bed, there were some simple stools and other utensils, all made of wood. There were some clothes in the box. The mountain carving came forward and opened them, but they were of no value.

After walking out of the wooden house, the mountain eagle heard an explosion. He turned around and saw that it was the tunnel where the corpses were stored. The bull hurried over. The mountain eagle pointed at the surroundings and said in a deep voice: "This place has no value anymore. Set fire to it." Let’s withdraw, the enemy has gone far, we can’t fall too far behind.”

"Understood." Man Niu agreed.

A few minutes later, all the houses on the hillside were set on fire. Shandiao led his troops to evacuate quickly and chased the enemy in the direction they left. There were traces everywhere along the way. There was no need to worry about losing more. Half an hour later, a river appeared in front of them. A brother suddenly emerged from the dense forest, startling everyone. After seeing clearly that it was one of his own, he breathed a sigh of relief. The mountain eagle quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

"Brother Shan Diao, Xu Gang asked me to leave the support. The enemy was divided into two and left from the upstream and downstream sides. Xu Gang considered that the enemy had sufficient troops and the danger of dividing the troops was too great, so he led his troops to pursue them from the upstream." The brother who stayed behind to respond quickly explained.

"Upstream?" The mountain eagle was startled and began to think deeply. A map appeared in his mind. When he was in the village, the mountain eagle and the old man talked about the surrounding terrain and got a rough idea. The lower reaches are human settlements and are also home to many armed and drug dealers. The upper reaches of the guerrilla activity area is no man's land, and after crossing a huge mountain range, you reach neighboring countries.

"Why did the enemy go upstream?" The mountain eagle whispered to himself in surprise, somewhat confused about the enemy's true intentions. If he wanted to escape, the best way was to go downstream, mix with other armed forces, bribe other armed forces to cut off the rear, and then take advantage of the opportunity. Please hunt, what's the point of going upstream? Is it so difficult to want to go to a neighboring country? Who would go to a neighboring country?

Thinking of this mountain eagle, his eyes lit up, and he realized that the leader of this team must want to go to neighboring countries. Going upstream requires strong survival ability in the wild. This is not an option for ordinary troops. In other words, the troops going upstream cannot Simple, and the enemy leader must be with a more than simple force. In addition, there must be other purposes for going to neighboring countries, otherwise he would not choose this. And the only person who can achieve this purpose is the leader, ordinary people cannot do it.

"Let's go upstream." Shandiao quickly made a decision. The enemy suddenly withdrew and went upstream to neighboring countries. Is there any conspiracy behind this? Now that the enemy leader has gone upstream, everything will be clear if he is caught, and if he is not caught and shot, his plot will be prevented from succeeding.

"How many people are downstream?" Manniu suddenly looked at the brother who was responding and asked in a deep voice.

"The strength of the troops is quite similar, but after observation, most of the local armed forces and the people who look like holy warriors basically go upstream, so Xu Gang chose the upstream." The brother in charge of the response explained in a deep voice.

The mountain eagle straightened up, further confirming his speculation. With a wave of his hand, he led the troops to quickly chase upstream. An hour later, the troops came to a hill. The mountain eagle found a signal and quickly contacted the headquarters. , and report the latest situation.

Lan Xing waited for Xu Gang to finish speaking and said quickly: "Brother Shan Diao, Brother Xu Gang is following and chasing, and there are sporadic battles with the enemy. Let me tell you that there are big fish upstream. They can handle them. If possible, let You can chase downstream and see what's going on with the other branch, or return to the village and supervise them to track down the leader."

These words made the mountain eagle hesitate. He looked at the vast forest in the distance with a heavy face and thought for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Find a way to get in touch with Xu Gang and ask him to be careful. The enemy must have a conspiracy when going to neighboring countries. Otherwise, We will not withdraw our troops in such a hurry and attack the neighboring countries. We must stop it. The enemies downstream are not of concern. Finding the leader is a big deal. I will go to the village to reassure the brothers."
