On the empty snow, Zhao Xin squatted on the ground with his rifle and panted rapidly. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. When the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shudder.
The arrow shot from the opposite side just now really made him frightened. If he hadn't happened to see someone aiming with a bow, or if he hadn't been running fast, it might have shot through his own neck.
After calming down for a moment, he raised his head and scanned the open fields around him, then took eighteen steps to a position 60 degrees to the right. You must know that for a person whose height is between 1.75 and 1.8 meters, the stride distance of each normal step should be 0.37 times the height, so eighteen steps is 12 meters. Based on his observation just now, he remembered that there should be a pine tree at this location in another time and space.
Zhao Xin took half a step back. After a circular ripple flashed in the air, a straight and thick tree trunk appeared in front of him. Then he quickly picked up the gun and pulled the trigger towards a guy on a horse seven or eight meters away on the left. Amidst a few slight "ta-da" sounds, the target swayed and fell off the horse, and several more exclamations sounded from the surroundings.
In fact, he did not want to engage in close combat at first, but planned to snipe with a rifle with a silencer 150 meters away downwind; this way, bows and arrows could not be shot, and muskets could not be hit, so it was absolutely safe. However, when he was lying down more than 200 meters away using a rifle scope to observe the enemy's situation, he discovered that a Taoist-looking guy was actually holding a backpack containing a field radio and looking at it.
The Beihai Navy's radio backpack is easy to recognize, and its color and size are obviously different from ordinary soldier backpacks.
Zhao Xin secretly screamed, "Oh no!" He thought to himself: How could this thing get into the opponent's hands? Don't ask. Something must have happened to the telegraph operator, and don't count on reinforcements for the time being. Then he observed that right next to the Taoist-looking guy, there were several North Korean Navy standard rifles with bayonets released.
He knew that his previous idea would not work. There is no choice now. These things must not be taken away by the other party.
After observing for a while, Zhao Xin decided to adopt the strategy of "attacking in the east and attacking in the west". He first killed a guard guy at a distance of two hundred meters, and then followed the opened gap and sniped two more cavalrymen.
Sure enough, the enemy's attention was successfully attracted. Because the shooting was so silent, most people became panicked and thought it was a ghost.
When Zhao Xin took advantage of the chaos and sneaked to a position more than thirty meters away from the radio and rifle, Xia Silin, who was wearing black armor, became the most conspicuous target.
There was no way, Xia Silin's armor was too conspicuous against the surrounding white snow! So much so that Zhao Xin mistakenly thought that He Shengqian, who was dressed in Taoist attire, and Bacina, who was wearing robes, were just Xia Silin's subordinates.
The time has come to 4:30 in the afternoon, but due to well-known reasons, the winter sun is still slanting in the sky, far from sunset, and the light in the forest cannot be said to be dim, just gloomy.
Zhao Xin crawled again and came to the back of another tree. He was now only more than 20 meters away from the location of the radio backpack. However, the closer he got to his goal, the less he dared to be careless. He knew that at this distance, the bows and arrows in the enemy's hands were the most deadly. Except for the chest that has bulletproof plates, it's fine. If you hit an arrow anywhere else, you'll definitely die.
The Northern Navy has been dealing with the Manchus for so many years and has captured so many prisoners. It has a very good understanding of their battle formation patterns and individual combat methods. Among the bow and arrow techniques of the Qing army, there is a close combat method called "five-step shooting"; the specific operation is to draw the bow and set an arrow within eight meters of the opponent, and use the rapid running of oneself or the high-speed sprint of the horse to accurately The shot hits places where the enemy's armor cannot protect, such as the face, neck, armpits, etc.
Due to the large energy storage of the clear bow and the slow rebound speed of the bow string, heavy arrows must be used. This also means that within this distance, even if you have armor, you cannot protect yourself absolutely safely; if you hit the arm, you will basically be covered with armor. Shoot it with the bones.
This is also the reason why in all the foreign wars during the Qianlong period, opponents from all walks of life were very afraid of close combat with the Eight Banners soldiers, including the Sauron soldiers.
Zhao Xin, who was hiding behind a tree, repeated his old trick again. He didn't even dare to show his head. He roughly estimated the distance between the radio backpack and the rifles, and took out the grenade bag and magazine recovery bag on his back. Three RGO defensive grenades. The reason why the defensive RGO is used instead of the offensive RGN is because the former has 650 fragments, which is more powerful, while the latter only has 200 fragments.
This thing is a touch-explosion fuse, which means it will explode when it hits something, and the delay time after pulling the safety ring is only 1.8 seconds, which is much shorter than the delay time of the North Korean Navy's wooden handle grenade.
Chi! The green oval grenade with white smoke was thrown away by Zhao Xin.
Bachina never dreamed that there would be people like Zhao Xin in the world. His previous arrow missed, so he quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, staring at the left and right sides of the tree to the west. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, and then he gestured to several of his subordinates around him, asking them to follow him. Surrounded on both sides.
Several Liangzhou Eight Banners were holding bows, arrows and muskets. They had just taken a few steps cautiously when a black shadow with white smoke flew out from the left front at knee height.
Bachina yelled "dodge" and at the same time he threw himself forward. As soon as his body touched the ground, he heard a loud bang in his ears. In an instant, the pine needles and tree trunks above his head were crackled by dense fragments. ring. Before the shocked people could even raise their heads, a second grenade flew over, and then a third.
Poor Bachina dodged the first two grenades, but not the last. It would have been fine if Zhao Xin had thrown it accurately, but he hid behind the tree and threw it outwards, but the direction was roughly accurate. So when Bachina narrowly escaped the first two explosions by sticking to the ground, he was about to stand up and change positions in a daze when the third one flew over.
The guy watched helplessly as an object like a green melon smoked and landed more than two meters in front of him. Before he could make a move, a ball of fire flashed in front of his eyes, and dozens of fragments hit him in an instant. The robes and the chainmail inside were in tatters and turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
The successive violent explosions caused heavy casualties to the Qing army. Even those who were lucky enough to be uninjured were stunned by the shock. While the smoke from the explosion had not dissipated, Zhao Xin leaned out from behind the tree and slowly moved towards the target location.
Many years ago on Bear Island, Wang Yuanfang mentioned when chatting with Zhao Xin that when you are fighting with the enemy at close range, it is important to attack by surprise, but you must control the speed. It does not mean that the faster, the better. good.
Zhao Xin didn't know anything about the specific rules of combat at that time. He only watched some action movies and played some games, so he asked in confusion, isn't it said that in the world of martial arts, only quickness can't be broken?
Wang Yuanfang replied that the truth is correct, but no matter whether it is a cold weapon or a hot weapon, the law of combat is to control or even destroy the opponent with human vision and firepower output, rather than the physical position between each other.
Fast speed can indeed ensure safety in most combat environments, but it is only a matter of probability. The exposure time is short, and the probability of being discovered is small. You must know that people are extremely sensitive to dynamic objects. Once you are unable to maintain omnidirectional vigilance and precise shooting, you will put yourself in a dangerous situation.
Zhao Xin is not Wang Yuanfang. He knows that he is not Rambo material, nor does he want to be. So when he carefully arrived at the target location and saw the various equipment scattered on the ground that was shaken by the explosion shock wave, the first thing he did was to collect all the broken pieces; as for the man who fainted under the tree and was wearing a monk's robe When his quota was raised, he simply ignored it.
After he quickly picked up all the lost equipment, he found a hidden position without any sound, and threw several grenades in succession. At this time, the Yiwei Battalion cavalry and Liangzhou soldiers in the forest were in chaos. Those far away from the explosion point were already walking through the forest in the snow, running for their lives in embarrassment.
Continuous grenade explosions soon attracted the attention of everyone in the col. The deputy platoon leader and the soldiers thought that reinforcements had arrived, but Jiang Fan, who also heard the sound, changed his expression drastically.
"It's not reinforcements, it's His Royal Highness King Zhao!"
"What?" More than a dozen soldiers were stunned upon hearing this.
"Even if the radio is not lost, reinforcements cannot arrive so soon! His Highness is the one outside! Leave two people and the health staff to take care of Political Commissar Fan, and the others will go out with me immediately to help!"
More than a dozen soldiers shouted "Yes" in unison, as if they were drunk, they picked up their guns, mounted their horses and rushed out. If they hadn't been worried about Fan Tong's safety, they would have killed him long ago.
However, when these people came to the pass of the mountain, they were surprised to find that the enemies were fleeing in all directions, and from time to time, whistling sounds could be heard in the air.
"Kill!" the deputy platoon leader shouted, leading a few soldiers to chase him out. Not to mention the aggrieved feeling in his heart, he had to kill a few with his own hands to relieve his hatred.
Jiang Fan hurriedly shouted: "Catch him alive!"
Forget about him, even Zhao Xin still doesn't know who these attackers are.
A moment later, when he rode his horse to the edge of the forest under the protection of several soldiers, he jumped off the horse and shouted Zhao Xin's code name.
"Dongdongyao!"
"Dongdongyao!"
Well, it has nothing to do with the hamster. For the sake of safety, so that opponents cannot judge the movements of the North Navy, senior leaders of the North Navy have had code names since a few years ago. Specifically, in the Western Front Command, Liu Sheng is "Liangdong Yao" and Fan Tong is "Liangdong Yao". "Two", Jiang Fan is "Two Dong San", and Zhao Xin, who is in charge of the Northern Navy, is naturally "Dong Dong Yao".
After a while, I heard a familiar voice: "I'm here, are you okay?"
Jiang Fan almost cried. His legs softened, his body slumped, and he collapsed on the ground.
Fan Tong was injured, which surprised Zhao Xin. After checking the thigh injury and listening to the hygienist's report, he felt that he could not delay any longer and wait for rescue from the headquarters, otherwise the leg would probably not be saved.
"Xiao Fan? Xiao Fan?"
"Boss Zhao, I knew you were fine. Why am I so unlucky?"
Fan Tong, whose face turned pale, opened his eyes and saw Zhao Xin appeared in front of him, with a wry smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm here! Let's go back and I'll take you to the hospital. Okay?"
Fan Tong's eyes lit up, and then he said sadly: "Will there be any trouble if I do this? I think I can still carry it a little longer."
"This leg will be useless if I carry you any longer. Polya and the child are still waiting for you to take care of them!"
Hearing Zhao Xin mention his son who was just under one year old, Fan Tong nodded and stopped talking.
Fan Tong and Polya met six years ago, when each other was only 14 years old. Due to ethnic reasons, the flowers of blond girls bloom earlier; while Asians still hold their pipa half-covering their faces, their flowers are already in full bloom and their postures are plump.
Taking into account the situation in this time and space, Beihai Town set the minimum age limit for women to get married and become pregnant at 16 years old; so Fan Tong endured it for more than a year before marrying Polya, and it was not until last year that he became pregnant and gave birth to a child.
Zhao Xin asked Jiang Fan and the others not to follow him, and came alone behind a rock more than 20 meters away, and then returned to another time and space in the blink of an eye. He took out his mobile phone and searched it, and found that there was a health center three kilometers away.
When he reappeared from behind the rock, all the weapons and equipment on his body disappeared, and he put on a thick down jacket and jeans, while holding two backpacks in his hands. He handed one of them to the health worker and asked him and two soldiers to help Fan Tong take off his military uniform and put on the clothes in his bag. Although several people felt strange in their hearts, they still followed it meticulously.
After that, Zhao Xin asked someone to help Fan Tong onto the horse, and then he also rode one. Jiang Fan, who was confused, finally couldn't bear it anymore and quickly pulled the reins of the horse and said: "Your Highness, what do you want?"
"Ziping, I have to take Commissar Fan away. I am the only one who can save him now."
"I'll go with you!"
"No, I'll be back later. You have to stay and deal with things here. There are still a few corpses of brothers on the hill that need to be collected. In addition, the identity of the enemy is not yet clear. This matter must be investigated to the bottom of it!"
After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he handed another backpack containing the radio station to Jiang Fan and said, "Hurry up and contact the headquarters."
Seeing Zhao Wangdian's expression of indignity, Jiang Fan did not dare to say anything. After experiencing the scene just now, the person in front of him became more and more mysterious and tall in his heart.
Zhao Xin only asked the health worker to follow him, and then he took Fan Tong out of the mountain col and headed north for more than three miles. He estimated that it was almost done, so he and the health worker helped Fan Tong off his horse, and then asked him to get two more horses. Take the horse back.
The health worker was extremely confused, thinking that the surrounding barren mountains and ridges were such that what was the chief going to do? However, how dare he not listen to the orders of the boss of the Beihai Navy, so he had to take the horse away with his horse, turning back one step at a time.
Zhao Xin waited until the people and horses had disappeared and turned into a pinpoint-sized dot, then he took out the minivan he had bought before. Even though it hasn't been driven much in the past few years, maintenance is basically done every two or three years, and the fuel tank is always full. Although it doesn't have a license plate, he doesn't care about it at the moment. He helped Fan Tong into the trunk and sat down, then closed the door.
In another time and space, a rural hospital under Qitai County received a strange and seriously injured patient that afternoon. According to the surveillance at the entrance of the hospital, a small truck brought the injured person; however, because the driver was wearing a scarf and a hat on his head, he couldn't see clearly what he looked like, but his height should be around 10%. About eight meters.
What is strange is that when the injured person was sent to the emergency room for rescue, the driver put 20,000 yuan on the nurse's desk and left a note saying that the money was for the injured person, and then left gone. When the nurse chased him out, he found that the person and the car were gone.
But that was not the end of it. During the rescue, the emergency doctor discovered that the injured man, whose age and name were unknown, actually had a gunshot wound! Although it seemed like a gunshot attack, the doctor still reported the case to the police station. Later, as the bullet was successfully removed, the doctor finally confirmed that it was a musket.
Thanks to the 20,000 yuan, the health center acted in a responsible manner and provided good blood plasma and medicine. The condition of the injured was finally stabilized and his leg was saved.
The police arrived soon, but because the injured person was in a coma after anesthesia and no ID card was found on the other person, they decided to inquire again the next morning. Unexpectedly, the nurse was shocked to find during her ward rounds late that night that the injured patient who was still receiving infusion in the observation room had disappeared along with the infusion bottle!
When the police heard about the incident early the next morning, they immediately felt that something was fishy. They then called up the hospital surveillance system and asked the security guard at the entrance, but after two days of investigation, they still had no clue. In the end, they had to report it to their superiors, who issued a co-investigation notice. However, whether it was the tall driver of the truck or the chubby injured person, they disappeared from the world and were never seen again. This incident has since become a mystery.
Also two days later, in a tent outside Jingyuan City in another time and space, Fan Tong was lying on the bed with a sling bottle, and said to Zhao Xin with a wry smile: "Brother, I can only spend this year with my wife and children. Can not go back!"
