The slightly cold wind temporarily interrupted Shen Rusong's memories. Now that he thought about it, the last interrogation was just a conversation at best, but it was only then that Shen Rusong began to appreciate Xin Twenty-four's heartbreaking words.
He couldn't help but wonder, was the Fuxing Army's overreaching policy towards outsiders correct or biased?
Or how much black and white is mixed in this gray area? After the ambush battle in the nameless town, no one said much about the execution of the savage captives, and no one paid extra attention to the few captives brought back.
Except that Shen Rusong took care of Bai Xiaoshu for a while with the attitude of raising cats and dogs, and allowed this potential savage girl to go to the farm to naturalize, which was a comfort to her heart.
But during his time in the valley, he saw with his own eyes the signs of civilization here. The savages were far from just hairy people drinking blood.
There are many difficulties in revival, and fighting is not the only solution. If the savages here could be naturalized as citizens... no, naturalized as free citizens, many problems would not be a problem.
At least, the army can resume the policy of not taking the only son, taking the elder of the second son, and shortening the service period. Doesn't he know that he has been fighting on the surface for ten years, and it is impossible for him to return home without being hurt all over?
If there were enough rotating troops, who would want to be stationed in a cesspit like Fenglin for many years?
But why didn’t the Renaissance Army just do this? Shen Rusong had a headache thinking about it. Ever since he joined the army and came back from the Sulfur Spring Camp, he had been living with large and small wounds almost every day. The young man healed quickly, but the pain was not bad at all.
The gradually rising headache made Shen Rusong give up thinking. He decided not to waste his brain anymore. He was a non-commissioned officer, a corporal, and a person who executed orders. Those planning and decision-making should be left to the officers.
At least what Xin Twenty-four said is very right, it will be painful if you think about it too much. The days in the production workshop under the prison passed for a while.
Naturally, there is no clock here, and functional watches have long been discarded. With the first ray of snow falling, Shen Rusong realized that November has arrived and winter is approaching.
The extreme cold, which can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius at any time, will block all routes home. The frost, snow and cage did not shake everyone's determination.
A supervisory committee was established among the more than 100 new prisoners, composed of prestigious officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers such as Li Minbo. It was responsible for coordinating collective actions, detecting traitor behavior, and coordinating team leadership when personnel changes.
The current priority is to find communication facilities to pass on the intelligence. To this end, the Supervisory Committee has made many preparations.
The first is to cause trouble from time to time, sending alert personnel into the confinement room, and then escape with the help of old prisoners such as Wang Kunming, and gradually investigate the layout of the valley.
On the one hand, draw a floor plan, and on the other hand, look for possible communication stations. The second is to collect various materials and assemble a simple radio station by technical sergeants.
Of course, the progress of this plan is very slow, and it is impossible to determine whether the Savage has anti-eavesdropping means and whether the communication frequency band can contact the Beiqin base 600 kilometers away.
The third is to reserve escape supplies, send people out in advance, and physically deliver messages. Shen Rusong was assigned the task of screening radio station materials. He needed to cooperate with old prisoners to steal essential transmitters, transformers, patent leather wires, electron tubes and other materials.
The next day, during the conversation between the savage guards, Li Minbo believed that there was a batch of ruins excavated items stored in a market two kilometers away, and that there might be radios, corded phones and other valuable items inside.
Through Wang Kunming's inquiry and the double confirmation of the night scouts, the supervisory meeting decided to launch the operation that night.
The operation consisted of Li Minbo, Shen Si, Shen Rusong, Wang Kunming, and a technical soldier named Qiao Minggong.
Wang Kunming is responsible for leading the way, Li Minbo is responsible for clearing the way, Shen Rusong is responsible for possible demolition, and Shen Si and Qiao Minggong perform specific screening and stealing.
Originally, everyone's cells were not on the same floor, and the cell keys were difficult to steal. Too frequent fights and confinement would easily attract attention.
So someone thought of a way, which was to deliberately cause a fire in the production workshop, causing progress to be delayed. Instigated by the old captive soldiers, they worked overtime overnight in the past few days, and everyone had room and board in the production workshop.
The savage guards naturally have looser management of new and old captives. The new captives are directly handcuffed before they are allowed to rest.
All the old prisoner had to do was lock the door. During the day, Li Minbo and others exchanged military uniforms with the old captive soldiers and sneaked in during the day.
At three o'clock in the morning, when people are most asleep, the action team set off quickly with Wang Kunming leading the way. Shen Rusong has excellent eyesight and can see things quite clearly at night.
He noticed that in addition to typical northern building structures such as thick walls and small windows, the buildings in the valley generally had three floors.
According to Wang Kunming's explanation, the third floor is dedicated to the sacred dragon tablet and a small number of handwritten books.
"Are these savages still studying?" Shen Si asked in a lowered voice.
"I still have to take an exam."
"I don't know how many points I can get by taking our exam." There is a curfew in the valley, and even the guards will not carry any lighting equipment.
The curfew patrol specializes in eating the livers of human wolves and can be said to see the night like light. In a dark environment, everyone is in the light.
With Wang Kunming's instructions in advance, everyone avoided the patrol's route and judged the distance through the dim reflective film behind Li Minbo who was walking in front.
We arrived at the market with no worries along the way. This market is not a bulk wholesale market. It stores many small and high-value goods.
Therefore, the supervision is extremely strict. Not only the patrol team focuses on taking care of them, but also various tribes also spontaneously send more manpower to guard them.
And part of it is underground, with torches.
"I can hold the outside for about five minutes. If I ring the bell, it means you are leaving." Wang Kunming said.
He is the most critical link in the operation. He would pretend to be real, contacting tribal warriors in the market, and exchange stolen workshop bullets and armor pieces for food.
In this way, the contact person will take the initiative to contact the patrol team and let them take a rest and drink a glass of wine to warm up in five minutes.
"Don't tell me, it's really cold in November." Qiao Minggong complained.
"Stop talking nonsense, get ready to go in." Everyone worked together to move the partition under the warehouse, allowing the smallest Shen Si to get in. Shen Rusong and Li Minbo began to look out at one distance and one near.
Shen Rusong looked around the market. The goods shed here was not much different from the military market in Yanqi base.
He thought of these relics excavated from pre-war ruins, and naturally thought of the music box he had promised to bring to his sister.
Weiwei felt sad, the more expensive music box cost fifty yuan a piece, and whether he could go back was not a matter of money.
Seeing Wang Kunming entering the account and putting the goods into bags, Wang Kunming started chatting with the savages to stall for time. Shen Rusong kicked the partition to signal the people inside to hurry up.
"Damn it, ring the bell, you two come out quickly."
"Right now, move the phone!" Wang Kunming couldn't ring the bell a second time. He didn't have to do bad things anywhere. Wang Kunming could only cough a few times and return alone, while Li Minbo flashed in the distance. Reflective sheets were set up, indicating that the patrol was returning.
Shen and Si came out disgraced, but at first glance they gained a lot. They actually found an old-fashioned walkie-talkie that was in good condition.
"This thing is not very broken. It can be repaired in a few days!"
"Stop talking, let's go!" Shen Rusong took the things in Shen Si's hand. Due to a delay of about two minutes, Wang Kunming had to bypass the patrol and deviate from the return route. Shen Rusong and others had to find their way in the dark. After all, it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye in the darkness.
As he was trotting quickly, a dog barked suddenly from behind, and Shen Rusong was shocked when he heard it. Knowing the power of bloodhounds, Li Minbo immediately ordered them to disperse!
However, at someone else's home court, he had to hide his footsteps. He didn't even have to run two steps before Shen Si was caught up behind him. He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to escape, so he started fighting with the dogs as soon as he turned around.
Seeing their companions being bitten by dogs and screaming in agony, Shen Rusong and others were unable to do anything and had to escape in tears.
The next day, Shen Si, who was bitten and had no human shape, was hung upside down at the door of the workshop. Not many people could understand the curses of the wild foreman, but some of them were said in common language, that is, Shen Si would be exposed to death for three days before permission was given. He was cremated and buried as payment for his stolen property.
The red-eyed people almost risked blowing up the camp at gunpoint, but they managed to calm down after being repeatedly reassured by the supervision meeting.
At nightfall, Wang Kunming, who was summoned, was picked up and beaten as soon as he arrived. Li Minbo shouted and asked this bastard how he felt about selling his friends to seek glory.
"I didn't sell you. Give me a day and I'll find out who leaked the news." Wang Kunming said, spitting out a few broken teeth.
Shen Si's death will not be mentioned, but the materials brought back from this operation are obviously extremely important. Especially the old walkie-talkie produced before the war. It was well sealed in the mud. After being amplified and brought out by the escapees, it could communicate as close as 300 kilometers away from Beiqin.
Without further ado, the Supervisory Committee sped up the progress of the third plan and quickly stocked up on supplies. Once the walkie-talkies were repaired, they launched a night attack to cover the escape of the selected Lu Lingjie and the other two hunters.
Before that, the portal needs to be cleaned up. The next time he saw Wang Kunming, he brought a piece of his finger. When he said it was a change of military uniform, someone on his side reminded the savages.
This finger was exactly the index finger of the informer. Li Minbo said coldly that he would sacrifice his life for his life, but Wang Kunming naturally refused.
Li Minbo wants to give an explanation to his own people, so why not him? After an argument that was close to a fight, Wang Kunming finally compromised. He would tell the informer that he would bear the price, and he would randomly choose someone to be his opponent, and the two would fight to the death.
During the day, at the release area, all the captive soldiers formed a circle and witnessed the informer being punched in the face by a randomly selected person. It was not until the guard who was watching the show realized that someone was about to die that he came to stop him.
Afterwards, Wang Kunming punched Li Minbo until the latter vomited blood, saying that he would not cooperate again in the future.
However, when the Supervisory Committee was discussing whether to ease relations, Lee Min-bak went against all opinions and insisted that Wang Kunming could be trusted.
He had only one reason.
"He has a position. He will not risk his brother's death to help us, and this position is reliable." The Supervisory Committee recognized Li Minbo and chose to continue cooperation on a limited basis.
Under planning, Wang Kunming learned some news about the riots. However, the uprising was successful a week later, and all the prisoners were sent out of the escape group at the cost of dozens of casualties.
This result undoubtedly confirmed Lee Min-bak's judgment. When the first snowstorm came, Shen Rusong was looking at the direction in which the escape group was escaping. If everything went well, they would have already contacted Beiqin.
And in the direction he was looking, beyond Beiqin, was in the Yanqi base that Shen Rusong had in mind. Unaware of this, Chen Xiaoxiang and others fell to the ground from the freezing clouds, put away their parachutes, and straightened their helmets.
Chen Xiaoxiang seemed to feel something and looked there with her narrow eyes. At this moment, she was extremely convinced that Shen Rusong and the others, who had been missing for a long time, were still alive.
She looked at the silent little white dragon troops. She stroked the mane of the war horse Xunka and murmured: "I won't take you with me this time. I am still a cavalry and become an aerial cavalry."
"I'll be here soon."
