The wolf team deliberately climbed higher up the mountain on the east coast, trying to avoid the lakeshore area. The closer to the lakeshore, the easier it was to encounter Soviet patrols. The commando team expected that the Soviet patrols were unlikely to climb the steep hillside.
Go on patrol.
Sure enough, the 34 members of the wolf team quietly bypassed two villas in succession and sneaked for one kilometer in the villa area without running into any Soviet patrols.
The next third villa is where Shi Fengge is imprisoned.
The leader of the wolf team, also known as the platoon leader, stood on the steep slope holding on to the pine tree, panting heavily, looking at the villa by the lake below. He picked up the telescope and looked carefully, and found that in addition to a
In addition to the 37mm anti-aircraft gun, there are at least three machine guns set up around the villa, one at each corner. From this angle, you can see three corners, and the fourth corner is on the back and cannot be seen. I guess there is another one at that corner.
.
Of the three machine guns I saw, two were facing the mountain and the third was facing the lake. It is estimated that the fourth one that was not visible was also facing the lake. More than 20 machine guns were discovered one after another outside the protective circle formed by the machine guns.
The Soviet soldiers were either visible or covert, appearing and disappearing, some standing on fixed posts and some on mobile posts. In short, the villa was tightly surrounded from all sides, making it impossible to approach secretly.
Suddenly, a burst of wild dog barking came from below. The platoon leader quickly moved the binoculars and searched carefully in the direction of the barking. Soon, a Soviet soldier led the dog and turned around from the other side of the villa.
The wolf dog was obviously very impatient. It struggled with its leash and dragged the Soviet soldier towards the hillside.
The platoon leader frowned. Many team members also saw the wolf dogs at the bottom of the mountain. Even if other team members could not see them, they all heard the dogs barking. - Obviously, the Soviet army had military dogs patrolling, and now they have been found.
The Soviet soldier who was holding the dog was obviously alert. While pulling the dog, he took his rifle off his shoulder and called back to the others.
Without further ado, the platoon leader turned to wave, and a team member behind him took out a bottle from his bag and handed it to him. The platoon leader took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and a strong smell suddenly came out. He held the bottle,
He sprinkled it on the surrounding ground and trees, and then quietly ordered the whole team to retreat up the mountain.
Soon, this strong smell spread out from the woods with a radius of dozens of meters. It was fishy, smelly, and extremely pungent. At the same time, several team members climbed up the higher hillside and disappeared.
Deeper in the dense forest.
After a while, more dogs barked from below, getting closer and closer. There were at least several of them, and they seemed very excited. Accompanied by a large number of footsteps, and a short command in Russian. Looking at the strength of the troops, at least
A patrol team came up with the dog.
Suddenly, the barking of several dogs stopped one after another. Then, a dog let out a low whine. Then it turned into a high-pitched and thin whine, full of fear.
Within a few seconds, several dogs fell into fear and began to howl. Some even had the courage to growl a few times, but others were just whining. The Soviet soldiers were scolding constantly, and it was obvious that they
I am very dissatisfied with the performance of the dogs, and also wonder why the dogs that were moving forward bravely just now are now huddled together to sift chaff.
But at this time, a breeze blew in the valley, and these Soviet soldiers immediately understood what was going on. Although their noses were not as sensitive as military dogs, they all smelled a pungent smell at this time - that
It smells like the urine of some kind of animal, and since the dogs are so frightened, it's probably some kind of large beast...either a bear or a leopard.
The smell of urine is so strong, maybe the animal is still nearby and hasn't gone far... Thinking of this, the dozen or so Soviet soldiers were all a little hairy, all holding guns and staring at the dark woods around them.
Several of the soldiers were Central Asians and came from the mountains. They had heard from the village elders since they were young that on winter nights, the leopards in the mountains like to wander into the village to catch livestock to eat, and their favorite food is dogs. Dogs are harder to catch than cattle and sheep.
, but leopards just like to eat dogs, and dogs are most afraid of leopards. When you go hunting in the mountains with your dogs, even if you encounter a black bear, three or five dogs will dare to approach them, but once they smell the smell of leopards, a whole group of dogs will
Shivering with fear, shivering and shivering...
These Soviet soldiers began to whisper to the people next to them that there might be a leopard nearby, staring at our dog. When they said this, a whole squad of Soviet soldiers became frightened.
"Leopards are nothing to be afraid of..." the Soviet squad leader said in a low voice, trying not to tremble in his voice, "but since it's just a leopard, comrades, let's go back..."
The soldiers below were eager to go down the mountain quickly, so they all led their dogs and went down cautiously.
In the woods dozens of meters above, the commandos of the Wolf Team were scattered, each holding a weapon and even a machine gun, waiting for the Soviet patrol to come over and start fighting. Now, listen
As the Soviet army's voice gradually faded away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and cold sweat broke out on everyone's back.
After knowing that the sound of the Soviet patrol had completely disappeared, another ten minutes passed before the platoon leader quietly ordered the entire platoon to cancel combat status and rest in place.
A small bottle of concentrated and refined "dog repellent" has been spilled out, and it seems to be very effective. This is a newly developed "secret weapon" by Dongchang. It imitates the urine smell of the leopard logo site. It is extremely volatile and is specially used for dogs.
Used by agents infiltrating behind enemy lines to scare patrol dogs.
The leader of the Wolves team looked at the luminous watch. It was already half past three. In half an hour, it would be the agreed attack time. At that time, the east and west sides would start at the same time. Now, the Wolves' goal is right under their noses.
Two to three hundred meters below, the anti-aircraft guns on the roof glowed with a cold metallic light under the moonlight. I don’t know where the Bears are now and if there is any "delay". The slope on the west bank is much steeper, and their progress may be slow.
Some. But no matter what, the battle must end before dawn. Otherwise, we will have to hide in the mountains for another day.
…
At the same time, the 72 commandos of the Bear Team were trekking hard. The mountain road under their feet - to be precise, there were only mountains, no roads - was much steeper. They had to overcome the danger of landslides at all times, and at the same time
Keep moving at a speed. What's worse is that they are not like the wolves on the east coast. The east coast is a villa area with five villas in front and behind. When you encounter the first one, you know how far away you are from the goal. There is only a castle on the west coast
In this building, the Bears had no idea how far they were from their goal. They could only trudge forward in the boundless darkness.
Suddenly, a deep Russian voice came over. The tone was very direct and hard, like a command.
The commando at the forefront immediately stopped and leaned down. He grabbed the automatic rifle, slowly took it off his shoulder and held it in his hand. At this time, dozens of people behind him also heard the sound.
The Russian language also stopped.
Among the few team members walking at the front, there was one who knew Russian. He knew that he was asking for the "password". However, how could the Ming army commandos know the password of the Soviet sentry?
The situation that the commandos had been trying their best to avoid happened. They encountered Soviet sentries.
The Russian on the other side asked again, this time in a much more alert tone, accompanied by the sound of a gun bolt.
The leader of the Bear team slowly came closer, held his breath, and took out a flashlight with one hand and a pistol with a silencer on it with the other hand.
He leaned against the translator's ear and whispered:
"Tell him you are from the NKVD and ask him what his name is."
The translator swallowed nervously, took a breath, and said seriously in Russian:
"I'm from the committee. What's your name?"
At the same time, the team leader turned on the flashlight, and a beam of light shone directly through it.
In the beam of light, a Soviet soldier nervously grasped his rifle, unable to open his eyes due to the stabbing. He raised his left hand to block his eyes while slowly retreating. It was obvious that he was very vigilant, but he did not dare to shoot at this time.
The leader raised his silent pistol, and there were two muffled "dong-dong" sounds. The Soviet soldiers in the beam of light fell to the ground without saying a word.
