Chapter 64 Pocket Watch

The river water is very cold. Although it was already summer, we were still trembling with the cold water. If the warriors with a slightly worse physique were unable to bear it. But as soldiers of the cold gun troops, we had experienced many times lurking in the snow and ice many times, so it was not so difficult to overcome it at this time.

At first we didn't dare to make too big moves because we had not yet walked out of the puppet army's encirclement. There were sentries and patrols of puppet army everywhere on both sides of the strait. We were worried that the sound of paddling caused by too big moves would attract their attention. In addition, we are also moving upstream now, which makes us move forward very slowly.

Suddenly, I felt a strange fluctuation in the river, so I quickly pulled the rope in my hand twice.

This is a code we agreed on before we set off. If we try two times, we will stop moving forward if there is a situation, and we will continue moving forward... The soldiers will soon stop and squat down.

“Tututu…”

The changes in the surrounding water flow became increasingly greater, causing us to sway with the water flow involuntarily. Then there was a sound of motors and lights swaying back and forth above our heads.

This is a speedboat used by the puppet army to patrol, so I was worried... What if the speedboat was swept away like a hose when it passed by us?

Fortunately, our current location is far away from the middle of the river. For speedboats, driving close to the shore is meaningless, and secondly, it is easy to hit the reefs, so my concern soon proved to be redundant. In a short while, the speedboat left a stream of water gradually fading away.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, pulled the rope and signaled the soldiers to continue moving forward.

We finally passed through the puppet army's encirclement without any danger. When we passed the ferry, we could even see the shadow of the puppet army sentry under the searchlight. What made us most thrilling was that after turning a corner along the river, several puppet army soldiers taking a bath in the river were swimming by us...

I don’t know whether it is their luck or our luck. If they really find us, our plan will certainly fail, but they will definitely be the one who dies first.

After walking out of the puppet army's encirclement, it became much easier. Perhaps the puppet army thought that we could not break out of their encirclement silently, so there was no puppet army warning outside the encirclement, which allowed us to float out of the 522.1 highland with confidence until we were about to approach the target, and we were worried that we would be discovered by the puppet army sentries and dived back into the water.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the puppet troops, we crossed the 522.1 highland one kilometer and finally landed smoothly next to the highway in more than half an hour.

There were only 12 people who ordered the number of people, and no more than 100 people were left.

After looking at Yang Zhenshan and others, they all buckled the buttons neatly. I couldn't help but waved to them, pointing to Feng Jikou, and whispered: "Everything is untied, the puppet army does not pay attention to military appearance like we do!"

"Um!" The soldiers reacted as they heard this, hurriedly unbuttoned Feng Ji's buckle and put on their raincoats.

It is well known that the puppet army does not pay attention to the military appearance, and this will not change because the *** regiment is an elite force. In fact, I think this should be the result of the puppet army being trained by the Americans.

I have seen a lot of knowledge about the appearance of the US military. They do not think that the clean military appearance will have any direct relationship with the combat effectiveness of an army. Not to mention that I have fought with Americans now, I have also seen the appearance of the US military in modern movies. On the battlefield, I often have shirtless cigarettes and a hooligan, and some people are biting gum in their mouths when they are standing together. However, it is often such soldiers who can really fight on the battlefield...

Since this is the case with the US military, the puppet troops commanded and participated in the training will of course be no exception.

Recognizing this, all of us (including myself) were carrying rifles on our backs, and we were wearing crooked helmets, and we were lined up in a disorganized formation and walked towards the 522.1 high ground.

Although I have done a lot of things to disguise myself as a puppet army, to be honest, when I saw the searchlights, machine gun positions and checkpoints of the puppet army from afar, I was still nervous.

So I kept comforting myself in my heart that the surprise attack on the *** team was originally present in history, and we should be able to successfully complete the task like Yang Yucai and others and escape... But then I thought again, hasn't this history changed, isn't it? Who knows whether history will let us all die here...

Although I felt a little scared, I had no regrets at all, so I had to grit my teeth and try my best to relax myself and walk towards the puppet army step by step.

One kilometer was not far away, and we walked on mud and water for more than ten minutes before we arrived. After the searchlight found us, it quickly locked on us. Then there was a sound of pulling the bolt. One of the puppet soldiers shouted at us: "????? (Korean: password!)"

As soon as I heard this, my head buzzed and exploded. Oh no! I haven't even been in a hurry to get the command from the puppet army.

But although my heart was confused, I pretended to be indifferent on my face, and impatiently blocked the light of the searchlight with my hands and replied in Korean: "Hey! Can you turn the damn light on? Didn't you see that we are our own people? We are the reconnaissance force of the Second Battalion..."

The Second Battalion was the puppet army unit in the 585.2 Highland where we were stationed. I learned their number from the captives. This unit suffered heavy casualties last night under our counterattack, so I guess it must have been resting on the 522.1 Highland. As a "reconnaissance force", we went out to reconnaissance last night and only came back now!

Sure enough, the puppet soldiers in front of them had no doubts and quickly moved the light of the searchlight slightly away, but they still insisted: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense to me and answer questions honestly, otherwise the gun in my hand is not a joke! Command..."

Although the soldiers following me couldn't understand Korean, they were not stupid and understood what was going on. They were all a little stunned. Unexpectedly, our army had just come out of the water and was exposed because of such a mistake. This was really uncomfortable.

The most urgent thing is me, not only because I can speak Korean, but also because I am their leader. If I just bring them to die and even destroy the entire plan, I will not be willing to say anything.

"Command!" The puppet army opposite shouted again, this time the tone was already full of hostility.

"Damn it!" I cursed in my heart, and was about to go aside and fight against these puppet troops, but at the critical moment, I frowned and suddenly remembered the movie "Assault on the *** regiment" I saw when I was a child. There was also a scene where the puppet troops asked for the command. I still remember the command between Yang Yucai and the others and the puppet troops was "Gurumu-Oba". I never thought about what this command meant when I was a child. I only remember the pronunciation, and the pronunciation in my memory also changed a little.

But I already know North Korea now, right? So I hurriedly compared this inaccurate pronunciation with the Korean language in my mind: the pronunciation closest to "gurum" is "cloud", and the closest to "Opa" is... "hail".

Yes! "Cloud" vs. "Hail", this puppet army has a bit of culture!

But is this password? What if he doesn't matter! Now he is just treating a dead horse as a living horse...

I glanced at the ditch beside the highway, and made up my mind to roll to the other end when something was wrong. On the other side, I pretended to be indifferent and shouted: "Hey, why are you doing so urgent? You have to make people take a break... I've been busy all day and night! Command: '??(Korean: Yun)'!"

"??(Korean: hail)!" The puppet army sentry replied with some dissatisfaction: "So much saliva... You can just say no? There are so many jigglings, I almost broke down with one shot. Do you know? Go over!"

I didn't tell him either, but just smiled and pretended to be meaningless and shook my head. It is said that too much will lead to mistakes. At this time, it is better not to show off my Korean language in front of them!

Seeing the fence slowly rising, I was very aware of the soldiers behind me who almost fell off my chin.

Although the soldiers were surprised, they all knew where this was. So, except for the strange eyes, they pretended to be quite similar in their movements. The puppet army did not have any doubts about the soldiers, but just laughed at us with a few sluts of embarrassment and let us go.

Along the way, there were patrols of puppet troops and migrant workers carrying ammunition and oil barrels, and an ordinary unit like ours, with only a dozen people, who were like a needle falling into the sea, were even more unrecognizable. This made me feel a sense of security, at least at this moment I didn't have to worry about my life's danger.

Because I was worried that speaking Chinese would make people around me suspicious, the soldiers were speechless all the way and all bowed their heads in a quiet voice. Although this made me feel a little bored, it would be fine to think about it. At least the soldiers would not bother me and ask me how they knew the command of the puppet army *** regiment. To be honest, I really didn't think about how to answer them!

We dare not march too fast, which makes us look very conspicuous, and for the same reason, we dare not be too slow. So we had to follow the pace of the puppet army.

522.1 The terrain of the highland is not dangerous, and there are few gullies and steep walls. In order to facilitate migrant workers to transport ammunition on this rainy night, the puppet army also used several searchlights to guide the way, so it is not difficult to walk along the way.

We followed the puppet army on the winding mountain road for a while and slowly approached the top position. I think the puppet army is almost here! I habitually took out my pocket watch and looked at it. The pointer had pointed to it at 9:30. At this time, our army's company that was familiar with water must have used the same method as us to find out the puppet army's encirclement. We walked around the puppet army's defense line without knowing it and stood by!

Buy time!

Listening to the sound of gunfires getting closer and closer to the north, I couldn't help but frown. If we did not launch an offensive in time, the consequences would be unimaginable once the puppet army deserters retreated. It would not only be a matter of whether the task could be completed. The company that lurked behind the puppet army defense line would also be heavily besieged by the puppet army's *** regiment and the puppet army deserters... At that time, it seemed that there was only one defeat, and this ending was waiting for our 538th regiment!

"Ah! Where did I get the watch?" Just as I was worried about the situation of the war, a puppet army beside me came up and snatched the pocket watch in my hand and asked curiously: "It's Chinese goods! Good thing!"

I was shocked and secretly blamed myself for accidentally exposing the pocket watch for so long. In this era, only relatively backward Chinese people would use pocket watches on the battlefield. The gold watches used by Americans and puppet military were worn on their wrists...

"Yeah! Yes!" I calmed down and started to blow in my mouth: "This is what I found on the corpses of Chinese soldiers. The rare thing is that I can still leave and it is very accurate. This antique may be sold at a good price!"

"Brother, sell it to me! Tell me the price!" The puppet army's answer quickly made me regret saying this. What's hard to say? Why do you say "sell it at a good price"? I should have thought of it long ago: buying and exchanging spoils in our army, and the puppet army's army is no exception!

"How much money do you have? Can you afford it?" I mean this guy certainly won't bring money with him when he is fighting.

But I soon realized that I was wrong. The guy took out a big gold teeth from his pocket like a trick and said, "This is for you, I dug it out of the mouth of a guy from the People's Army. Is it enough?"

I couldn't help but be stunned. The puppet army thought I still made less money, so hesitated and took out another gold teeth from my pocket as if he had made up his mind and said, "That's all. If you don't change it, it would be too inhumane. I want to go back and give my fiancée a gift. She will definitely not like the things dug out of the dead man's mouth, otherwise I won't change it!"

"Okay!" I handed the pocket watch helplessly and took the two gold teeth. In fact, I didn't want to bother him anymore, otherwise I would inevitably reveal flaws.

"Ah! You are such a good person!" The puppet soldier excitedly took the pocket watch and invited me enthusiastically, saying, "Brother, after I go back from the war, I will marry her. I will definitely invite you to have a wedding banquet at that time! By the way, what is your name and where to live? How do you contact you at that time?"

I couldn't help but complain secretly, but I didn't expect that the pocket watch that Captain Chu gave me was contributed, but I still couldn't dismiss this annoying guy!

At this time, there was a fork in front of me, so I simply said, "I'm here, I'm going to go here... I'll see you again if you have the chance!"

Suddenly, I found that this guy looked a little wrong. He looked at me strangely and then looked at the soldiers following me. He leaned against the gun on his shoulder with his right hand unconsciously! But soon he pretended to have a smile and said, "Oh, then... I have a chance to see you!"

I knew we had been exposed, so I smiled and nodded and reached out to him. When he approached, he pretended to be enthusiastic and stretched out his left hand to invite him to his shoulder. His right hand had already pulled out the military spear and put it into his raincoat and pressed it against his waist. At the same time, Yang Zhenshan, who was following me, also tacitly grabbed us in front of us and blocked the other people's sight.

"I think you are a smart person!" I whispered to him: "If you still want to see your fiancée, you know what to do! If you cooperate, I promise you can go back to see her. No one will know what you do and can also bring that pocket watch!"

The puppet army hesitated for a while, and finally nodded with gritted teeth.

This is the weakness of human nature. I believe that this puppet soldier is brave and wise. This can be seen from his attempt to pretend not to discover it after seeing through us. I pushed it with a bayonet and hesitated before agreeing to this behavior. But his weakness is that there is a person in the family who is deeply loved waiting for him to go back...

"Very good!" I pretended to be like two close comrades talking, with a smile on my face, but asked viciously: "How did you see my flaw?"

"That road...is another way down the mountain!" The puppet army replied calmly.

"Damn it!" I couldn't help but curse, and then I realized that the problem was here. Do you have to do so many roads down the mountain? But it doesn't seem to be my business, and it's the need for the wood-fighting man...

"Where is the regiment headquarters?" I didn't talk nonsense to him and asked the questions I wanted to know the most.

The puppet army didn't say anything, but turned their eyes to the distance not far ahead. Following his gaze, two rows of neat and exquisite wooden houses appeared in the valley in front of them. Two jeeps were neatly parked in front of the houses, surrounded by barbed wire, and several sentries wearing raincoats were standing at the entrance!

It turned out that the target was so obvious... I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Maybe it was because the puppet army thought that in this case, someone wouldn't be able to get into their hinterland! In addition, the volunteer soldiers could almost have no air power, so their regiment headquarters was actually located in such an obvious place.

Moreover, oil lamps were on in the wooden house, and through the light, you could vaguely see several puppet army officers having a meeting inside... This was almost incredible for the volunteers.

But it feels normal to think about it. United *** has a large number of aircraft, which has forced our volunteer army to hide all their targets and even the lights are not dared to turn on. The puppet army will not have such concerns at all.

From this perspective, it may be a good thing that our army has no air power. It is born from worry and dies from happiness! Tonight these puppet soldiers will taste the taste of "dead from happiness"!
