Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

As the news spread, the Dark Blade fighters who were sent out returned to the camp one after another.

"The reconnaissance platoon continues to investigate, focusing on the enemy troops leaving on the east and west sides to prevent the opponent from attacking back. The guard squad and the sniper squad cooperate to guard the prisoners. The others take the time to eat and rest!"

Jolin rearranged the mission.

Of course, he would not be so arrogant that he thought that the enemy army would be completely safe once they left. Maybe there would be other troops coming, maybe the other side would kill the carbine again, so the security work must be done well.

The snow fell more and more, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes were connected. It didn't take long for the whole mountain range to be covered with white snow and wrapped in silver.

The soldiers hid in the cave, and the bread was the canned food that had been frozen into icicles. This was everyone's lunch.

Even so, the soldiers are very satisfied, isn't this better than the old days when one bite of snow and one bite of fried noodles?

Moreover, the food brought from the Mi Army warehouse this time is quite a lot, enough for everyone to last for ten days and a half months, at least there is no need to worry about starvation.

On the contrary, the prisoners of the Mi army outside the cave suffered a great crime. There was no place to shelter from the snow, so they could only stay in the open air, each of them was frozen stiff. In order to resist the cold, they could only squeeze together desperately, relying on their bodies to keep warm.

After James and Alex's troops left, they stopped not far away and stopped moving forward. The officers of the two sides used radio intercom to communicate.

They are not incompetent people like Johnson. Without any background background, they can become middle-level officers of the Mi Army, more or less have some real skills.

The two didn't really want to search for the whereabouts of the volunteers in the divided area, it was just an excuse to leave here.

Since yesterday, the second line of defense of the Mi Army has advanced five kilometers in unison, and a vacuum zone with a diameter of [-] kilometers has been formed in the entire Wulaoli area.

The Volunteer Army can appear out of thin air to attack the headquarters, but it is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air, so they must still be within the [-]-kilometer encirclement.

On the battlefield, [-] kilometers is not a very long distance. As long as the reconnaissance troops are dispatched, any abnormality will be discovered, but the superior has not given a warning signal until now, so there is only one possibility.

The volunteers who attacked the headquarters did not leave, but hid near the headquarters.

After observing the nearby terrain, James and Alex came to the same conclusion that the volunteer troops attacking the headquarters were hidden in those mountains.

But they did not act rashly and immediately launched a search, but led their respective troops to create the illusion of leaving.

the reason is simple.

First, they don't know the specific location where the volunteer troops are hiding.

Second, the Volunteer Army that can quietly destroy the headquarters with an infantry regiment stationed there, and can make the Johnson regiment disappear, must have super combat effectiveness, and they dare not take risks with their own strength.

If you want to get rid of this volunteer army, you must have an absolute advantage.

After James and Alex communicated on the walkie-talkie for more than 20 minutes, they began to contact their respective higher command at the same time.

Qiao Lin and the Dark Blade warriors, who were still resting in the cave at the moment, had no idea that the enemy had already judged their location and had launched an operation against them.

"Instructor, the commander of the Mi Army has been yelling non-stop. We can't understand what he is saying. Go and see."

The security squad leader Liu Chuang walked into the cave with his head full of snowflakes, and interrupted Qiao Lin who was talking with Wu Qianli and others.

"Bring him here."

After thinking about it, Qiao Lin gave up the plan to go out, after all, the snow outside was quite heavy.

After a while, Smith, who was covered in snow and his face was frozen purple, was escorted into the cave by two soldiers.

Seeing a few tin cans on the ground, Smith swallowed involuntarily.

Usually he would not bother to eat this kind of food. There is his personal chef in the headquarters, and every meal is a big meal.

But since the early hours of yesterday, when this group of masked volunteers broke into the headquarters, all his rights to enjoy life were deprived.

Not only were their hands tied and driven away like livestock with other captives, but they also ate only dry bread, which had no taste at all.

Now that he saw the canned meat, he suddenly wanted to know what it tasted like.

"I heard that you don't stay well and have been practicing your voice. Do you eat a little too much? I'm thinking about whether to reduce your food."

Qiao Lin stuck a piece of beef with a bayonet and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it before saying.

Smith's eyes were fixed on Jolin's mouth, and he licked his lips subconsciously. After hearing Jolin's words, he immediately drove out the idea of ​​eating canned food.

This devil-like guy only gave each prisoner two days of rations, and now one day has passed, and reducing it means that he will be hungry from today.

"No, no, sir, you misunderstood me, I have something to tell you!"

Smith bowed quickly, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Tell me, if you want to make any request, I advise you to shut up as soon as possible, you know that I have a bad temper!"

As Qiao Lin spoke, he picked up an empty can in front of him and rubbed it in his palm. Soon the can turned into an iron lump.

Smith was trembling with fright. This was the first time he had seen a person who could crumple iron sheets like paper.

"Sir, it's not a request, but I want to negotiate a deal with you!"

Smith rearranged his thoughts and quickly eliminated some inappropriate words.

"Deal? Let's hear it!"

Qiao Lin became interested all of a sudden, and the transaction represented interests. A dignified Major General of the Mi Army would definitely not just want to trade canned food and bread.

"I know that you and your subordinates are staying here because you can't go out, but I have a way to let you leave safely."

Seeing that Qiao Lin had the intention to cooperate, Smith quickly threw out the bait.

"continue!"

Jolin said calmly.

Seeing that Jolin didn't show the excited reaction he imagined, Smith was a little disappointed, but he still didn't give up: "As the commander of the First Marine Division, I assure you that you and your subordinates will never be in any danger."

Chapter 97 The Enemy's Conspiracy

"First of all, let me remind you that your current status is not a teacher, but a prisoner. Secondly, I hope you can finish your sentence at once, and don't ask me to ask you a sentence. That will make me lose patience with you."

Jolin put the iron ball made from the tin can in the palm of his hand, raised his other hand and slapped it down.

With a "snap", the iron ball turned into a discus.

Smith trembled again, not daring to hesitate any longer, and spoke out all his thoughts in one go.

It turned out that Smith wanted Qiao Lin to negotiate with the Mi Army, using him as the commander and other Mi Army prisoners as bargaining chips to let the Mi Army open gaps in the two lines of defense and let the dark blade leave.

In exchange, Darkblade had to release Smith and the other prisoners when he left the outermost line of defense.

This deal does seem to be a good deal. For Dark Blade, getting out of here safely is indeed the most important thing compared to these captives.

Whether Smith and these captives are dead or alive has no impact on the battle situation. After all, this war is not commanded by him. Even if they are released, it will not cause any losses to the volunteers.

However, Qiao Lin obviously considered a deeper level.

"Take him out and keep him alone, this guy is useful."

Jolin didn't reply to Smith, but asked someone to take him away directly.

"Sir, sir, think again, my proposal is only good for you!"

Smith thought that Jolin had rejected his offer, and was still screaming desperately when he was taken away.

"What did you say? The old thing looked excited."

After Smith was taken away, Wu Qianli and others began to question Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin recounted the conversation between the two, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Several people thought about it for a while, and finally Yu Congrong spoke first: "I don't think it's very reliable. It is said that a fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. This guy used to be a commander, but now he is a prisoner. It is impossible for the enemy to take care of him. Life let us out."

"I think so too. Now that the peripheral battles are tense, any gap may lead to the complete defeat of the rice army's defense line. I don't think the high level of the enemy army will not understand this problem."

Lei Gong then echoed.

"Two lines of defense, relying on us alone, it's unrealistic to successfully take these prisoners out. If the enemy launches a siege, we don't even have a place to hide. We can't do this!"

Wu Qianli's opinion is the same as others.

Under the influence of Qiao Lin during the recent period, the veteran cadres of the Seventh Company have learned to look at the problem more comprehensively, and no longer only care about the immediate interests.

"Let's go together. From here to the first line of defense, it is a full [-] kilometers. There are too many unknown variables here. We must not take this risk lightly!"

Qiaolin agrees with everyone's point of view, which is why he did not agree to cooperate with Smith.

"Then we are still waiting here?"

Yu Congrong glanced at his watch. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the dark blade had been lurking on the mountain for a whole day.

"Yes, continue to wait and wait and see what happens!"

Qiao Lin nodded heavily. One-third of the 72 hours required by the system have passed. Based on his understanding of the system, the remaining two-thirds of the time will definitely not pass smoothly. Now he can only seek stability. .

Soon, the soldiers in charge of the peripheral investigation brought two bad news successively.

"The enemy army moving to the east stopped at a distance of four kilometers!"

"The enemy army moving to the west stopped at four kilometers away!"

Hearing these two news, everyone was a little surprised, and they all looked at Qiao Lin: "Why didn't you move all of a sudden?"

"We may have been exposed!"

Qiao Lin reacted abruptly, and immediately ordered: "Expand the scope of the investigation, report back immediately if the enemy makes any move, let the prisoners move, continue to dig the hole, the deeper the better, the others are ready to fight!"

"We didn't do anything, how could it be exposed? Are you too sensitive?"

Yu Congrong felt that Qiao Lin was a little nervous, maybe the enemy just stopped to rest.

"We don't necessarily have to do anything to be exposed. The enemy may have already judged that we have not left here. They are just creating an illusion to confuse us, trying to lure us out, or waiting for reinforcements!"

Qiao Lin's brows were furrowed, and he was still holding the discus made out of a can.

His analysis was correct. At the same time he gave the order, the Eastern Front Command of the Mi Army ordered the second line of defense to draw out four regiments again, and rushed towards Wulaoli with heavy weapons.

The soldiers of the rice army who were captured never dreamed that the life of being a prisoner was so difficult.

Not only have to endure hunger and cold, but also endless labor.

I don't know what these volunteers thought, but they were given shovels and asked them to continue digging.

Are these guys going to hollow out the whole mountain?

But Qiao Lin didn't have time to pay attention to what these captives thought. He only had one request, that if anyone dared to be lazy, he would be executed immediately.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used. Under Qiao Lin's ruthless wrist, the prisoners of the Mi Army were like human excavators. The cave was extending inward at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. The soil dug out alone was enough to pile up It has become a hill.

Two hours later, the sky had darkened, and the reconnaissance platoon brought back information again.
