Chapter 33 Eagle Mouth Cliff (Part 2)(1/2)
Early morning.
The top of the mountain opposite the Eagle Blizzard.
On a huge pine tree, the platoon leader looked at the opposite side carefully with a telescope.
The so-called Eagle Beak Cliff is actually formed by two protruding rock layers. The two pieces are connected to each other and look like Eagle Beak. One of them extends outward about two meters. There is a circle of fences around it. The depth of the Eagle Beak is obviously one.
Cave.
On one side of the cave, there is a pine tree that emerges from the crack of the rock. If the distance from here to the eagle beak is thirty meters, it will look thirty-three meters when it reaches the pine tree!
p>
There is obviously a wooden door in the cave, and there is a man curled up under the wooden door.
The man was next to the pine tree!
The platoon leader slipped away.
"Huntaiji"
He whispered.
"If you use a newly assembled crossbow to shoot the rope on the pine tree, it will definitely alarm the person next to you."
Wobasi thought for a while, "Then shoot that person to death first, but you must hit it with one blow"
The platoon leader nodded and started a powerful crossbow with another soldier carrying components, which were assembled by different soldiers after going up the mountain.
According to the work department, this powerful crossbow has at least five stones of force. After sending an arrow, it will not be affected at the first 100 meters due to the strong initial kinetic energy, as long as it is not too strong, it will not be affected.
The platoon leader put the strong crossbow on the soldier's back and began to aim at the Chechens who were curled up under the wooden door.
He glanced for a long time, and pulled the trigger when a gust of wind suddenly stopped!
But unfortunately, just as he pulled the trigger, another strong gust of wind blew through the two cliffs!
"Bang!"
The twisted pine tree in the middle of the arrow branch!
The sound made also alarmed the Chechen!
The platoon leader was sweating all the time, and when he was busy installing the second arrow branch, the Chechen man was already screaming!
Wobaxi was not panicked. They had practiced this scene before, and he gave an order in a deep voice.
"According to the second plan, one group of people suppressed with a rifle, and the other group shot the rope onto the pine tree!"
"Bang!"
After the first gunshot, the Chechen fell down, and the platoon leader finally nailed the rope to the pine tree!
This is a special rope, which reflects the latest technology of the Truchen Khanate. It contains ten iron wires inside, and the outside is wrapped with extremely tough ropes made of rattan wire and thick glue, and the outside is tough
cowhide.
One end of the rope is tied to the pine tree on the cliff here, and the other end is nailed to the twisted pine tree. There is a height difference between the two ends, and there is an iron ring in the middle, and the outside of the iron ring is also wrapped in cowhide.
The platoon leader wore a piece of cotton armor on his body, then put on an iron helmet with only eyes exposed, tied himself to the iron ring and slipped over!
At this moment, with a creaking sound, a large number of Chechens holding muskets walked out from behind the wooden door of the opposite cave.
"Cover your platoon leader. There are too many people in Eagle-billed. If you come up, you will kill one!"
As a crackling sound came out, the two sides launched a fire with muskets. At this time, the wide-eave iron helmet on the head of the Truchen soldiers came in handy, and they were filled with straw bags in front of them.
Low wall, lower your head and you can almost ignore the bird gun on the opposite side.
By the way, it's just bird guns, they can't even be called a combroach gun.
Amid the gunshots and the Chechens' shouts, the platoon leader arrived at the pine without any harm. At this moment, a Chechen man from the cave shot him!
Although it was a tiny lead, it still made the platoon leader feel a piercing pain, but the man was quickly killed by the Truchen soldier on the opposite side.
The platoon leader hung on a tree and threw a hairpin grenade into the cave, then loosened the iron ring and jumped onto the eagle's beak!
While the smoke from the cave entrance had not yet dissipated, he threw several grenades into it again.
Then he took out two rotary pistols, turned around and walked into the cave.
At this time, the cave had already lit a torch and shone it brightly inside. The platoon leader calmed down when he saw the cave - the cave was only one meter high and one wide, and the explosion range of Truchen grenades was far more than this.
He saw the ground lying full of Chechens, some of whom were obviously killed by the bombing, and some were still struggling and moaning. He walked up and shot the people one by one.
At this moment, there was a small hole in the depths of the cave. He looked shaking, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked slowly over with a pistol.
"Bang..."
A burst of smoke from the small hole was coming out, and the sound was much louder than the sound of the bird guns just now. In the middle of the platoon leader's chest, the platoon leader turned dizzy and then fell down on his back.
"Platform leader!"
But at this time, the follow-up person had already come up. After a burst of crackling, there was no movement on the small hole.
Wobaxi also arrived. He squatted down and helped the platoon leader up, put his head on his legs.
"Huntaiji, I... I'm afraid... I can't escape this time, that's O'Sman gun, projectile... Ahem, at least... there's
Two liang, at such a close distance, two layers of cotton armor...can't do it"
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
....
Under the mountain.
Akton took a company to chase after him along the mark left by the guide.
They were wearing white cotton armor, their iron helmets were wrapped in white wool, and they were wearing color-changing cloaks. They could not find it if they were not careful.
The Ingush guide also came on a sled, but he obviously did not have a good sense of anti-reconnaissance and just kept running forward.
Akton let three fastest skating soldiers chase in the front, and the rest followed their sleds, and halfway through, he finally thought of something.
"There are naturally many Ingush people in Balta, but few have been to Eagle Beak Cliff. Those who can reach here and return to Balta safely are definitely not ordinary hunters"
"Fortunately, the people from the Intelligence Department had noticed it long ago, otherwise it would be impossible to rely on the mountain group alone"
He was also a little strange when he was sliding forward.
"This is the back of the mountain where Eagle-billed Cliff is located. It is also extremely steep. Is there really a secret road?"

After chasing for half a day, it was getting dark. Although the people in front of him found the Ingush man, he was still wandering around the mountains, which made Akton suddenly suspicious.
"This place is far away from the mountain where the Eagle-billed Cliff is located, but another mountain with a relatively gentle slope. Does the Chechens also have nests here, and this person is going to lead us to their ambush circle?"
The surroundings are covered with white space. Although they carry a compass, Akton and others soon lost their sense of direction and only knew that they were getting farther and farther away from the Eagle-billed Cliff.
Fortunately, sled marks were left on the mountain. Seeing this, Akton asked the three soldiers to go back first, and ordered: "If we have not returned at noon the next day, let some of the people who stayed near the Hawkeye Cliff go up to the top of the mountain.
, go to meet with Huntaiji, and part of us chased us along the sled seals”
....
Three days later, Akton and the others chased to the bottom of an equally steep and straight mountain. When they arrived, the sled mark of the Ingush man disappeared.
"Brig Commander, although we are wandering around these days, we are roughly heading east. This mountain is next to a big river. If I guess it is right, this is the Argon River flowing through Grozny."
p>
"Grozny?"
Akton suddenly felt spirited.
He raised his telescope and looked around for a week and finally stopped his eyes on the cliff of the mountain opposite.
"The cave! It's still big!"
He now has a little understanding.
"This cave is obviously a nest for Chechens, and it is not far from the Eagle-billed Cliff, but there is no direct road to come here. The Ingush man walked around for a long time just to come.
Here?"
"Does this mean there is a secret passage connecting the mountain between the Eagle Beak Cliff and this huge cave? But how can I get up?"
They approached carefully below the huge hole, and a vine staircase appeared in front of them!
Akton hesitated immediately.
"Even if you can go up through this vine ladder, you can kill you by throwing a stone casually. Moreover, such a vine ladder can only be used at most one person at a time. Such a big hole can obviously live in many people.
What's the use of people going up to do it?"
A soldier said, "Brig Commander, judging from the guidance's journey, there is no passage to go up the mountain from the middle of the Eagle-billed Cliff here. Wouldn't we just stay here?"
"Our purpose is to prevent the Chechens from constantly going down the mountain to harass them. The two battalions of Yan Dunhuang have controlled the Anji Basin. No matter how big this cave is, it is impossible to accommodate a thousand people. At most, hundreds of people can be guarded here."
"I don't believe they stored food there that could last for several years"
Akton smiled and said, "You are so powerful that you can follow you, and then send someone to inform the Khan who is still in Grozny."
