Looking at the north again, there should be continuous mountains. There is no road until WQ County, more than 20 kilometers away, and the strategic depth is wide enough. It's a pity that neither the west nor the north of Hong Tao can be selected.
The former is unwilling to take such a big risk to cross the river, and the latter is because the bear cave where Juma and the others are hiding is just a few kilometers to the north. If you flee northward, you will lead the pursuers there, and if you don't keep it together, you will find the hole.
So he chose the southwest direction, which seemed the most unlikely and difficult to go. Here is a snow mountain with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.
What is unexpected? Hong Tao likes to play this tune. He doesn't follow what others think, but he is willing to try what others think is impossible. This time is the same, he has to climb the cliff, and then cross the nearly 4,000-meter Daban.
If the enemy is still chasing, he will cross the border westward along the ridge and enter Kazakhstan. . If the enemy stopped chasing him, he would go back below 3,000 meters and find an opportunity to return to the bear cave to meet Zhuma and the others and continue northward.
The former hypothesis is basically impossible. Unless all the Redeemer soldiers are mountaineers and equipped with a complete set of mountaineering equipment, they will not be able to climb the cliff at all.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they go up, the ending may be even more tragic. Hunting down a person on foot in glaciers and ice-covered terrains above 4,000 meters above sea level is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, and as dangerous as finding a chestnut from a fire.
The latter assumption is very easy to realize. Apart from being unable to catch up with the snow-capped mountains, it is also difficult for the Redeemer soldiers to stay in this mountainous area for a long time. Supplies must be a big problem.
I can make do with the dry food I carry and capture small animals for dozens of days, but it is difficult for the soldiers to do so. The larger the number of people, the more difficult it is to supply, and the smaller the number, the more difficult it is to have nothing. In a few days, the mountain search operation must be stopped, and large troops must be evacuated.
Therefore, no matter whether the pursuers made a detour to the west, Hongtao didn't pay much attention. He circled around in the woods where he couldn't see his fingers. In fact, his final goal was the cliff in the southwest.
The straight-line distance from there to the lake is about 6 kilometers, but it takes the same 6 hours or more to walk on foot. These are accurate data from Hong Tao's field survey.
Coupled with the consumption of some ambushes and deliberate circles on the way, the sky should have just dawned when we arrived, just in time for climbing. As long as they stay within an hour's distance from the pursuers, no matter how powerful their weapons are, they can only look at the cliff and sigh.
The plan was executed very smoothly, it could be called perfect. Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, Hong Tao led his pursuers over three mountain ridges in a row, and successfully climbed up to the last mountain ridge in the southwest when the sky in the east was just turning pale.
"I hope you guys are obedient and don't come out and wander around!" Looking at the dark cliff hundreds of meters away, Hong Tao climbed up the big tree again, condescendingly scanned a few times with the thermal sight, and confirmed that the surrounding area was within one kilometer. Only after there were no pursuers did he let out a sigh of relief.
As long as Juma and the two children stay in the bear cave honestly, the danger will be farther and farther away from them. Presumably, after the pursuers of the Redeemer found themselves on the cliff and headed south, no matter how unwilling they were, they would not wander aimlessly in this mountainous area, and would soon withdraw their troops.
After getting off the tree, Hong Tao didn't rush on his way, but poured out all the things in the backpack, found water and dry food, and packed them up while eating. In view of the high altitude of the following journey, except for climbing tools, camping equipment, cold-proof clothing, food and medicine, everything that is not necessary can be discarded.
Even weapons and ammunition were reduced to a minimum, automatic rifles and magazines were thrown away, a pistol was kept, and the main weapon was replaced with a shotgun. If it wasn't for the fear of encountering ferocious beasts along the way, he wouldn't even bother to bring a spear.
After getting rid of the pursuers, you can get new supplies in the bear cave. Even if the pursuers don't retreat, you can still go north to Alashan Pass, where there is a backup base, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition.
"Fine, don't carry too much weight, the New Year is coming soon, and I, as an elder, have to get some red envelopes at least Don't think too little, it's just a meaning!" Looking at the last few red envelopes that were dug out from the middle of the backpack A butterfly thunder, Hong Tao showed a sinister smile again.
He ejected all the bullets in the rifle magazine, dug away the snow and buried it. Arrange the butterfly mines in a row and stuff them into the snow. The nearest one is buried with the bullets, and the furthest one is half a meter away.
If the pursuers also search and move forward from here, they may find this obviously turned over snowdrift. If they are not in order, they will step on distant landmines and trigger a series of explosions.
In the end, it is not clear whether the pile of bullets can be detonated by Hong Tao. Let's try it. The cheating movement is to pay attention to the daily bits and pieces, and develop the habit of not letting go of any opportunity. Didn't the ancients say, Don't do small things for good.
But the ancients were not Hong Tao's own father, they also said that extreme joy begets sorrow! People tend to be unlucky when they are proud, because at this time they see that they are done and everything is under control, and their vigilance is the lowest.
Just when Hong Tao pouted his buttocks and set up traps, imagining how others would be fooled in his mind, and was feeling happy physically and mentally, suddenly the hairs all over his body stood on end, and a dangerous aura appeared behind him, and it was very close, almost close to him. On the back!
At this time, his usual caution saved his life again. He even threw away his rifle, and the two daggers he was still reluctant to throw away happened to be stuck in his right calf, and he could withdraw it without making too much movement.
"Hi" The body suddenly fell forward without warning, while twisting the waist and raising the left arm to protect the neck, and the right arm stabbed back from the left armpit.
"Ah poof woo" The dagger encountered a lot of resistance, but the sharp edge broke through in an instant, and something was stabbed. At the same time, Hong Tao also felt a sharp pain in his left forearm, followed by the howling of a beast.
Since the second wolf wolf saw his eldest brother and third brother knocked to the ground by the two-legged monster in the morning, he fled westward in one breath, and dared to take a rest after passing several mountain ridges.
It just so happened that a hare without eyes came out for a stroll, and it took it for lunch. Although he was not full, at least he had some food at the bottom, and temporarily got rid of the predicament of hunger and cold.
Whether it is an animal or a human, as long as there is food in the stomach, the brain will think more. It found a small leeward hole under the cliff, and lay down in it while recovering its strength and thinking about what to do next.
Originally, I planned to run west in one breath to find uncles and uncles to return to the group. Even if I have to be a younger brother according to seniority, I have a lot of hard work all day long and I don¡¯t eat much meat, but I can still save my life.
But swallowing two hares alone and making it feel that it has the ability to continue living in this mountainous area is a bit dangerous, but it can also be rewarding. All the prey caught are his own, and no one needs to look at his face.
As long as I can survive the winter, the food here is still very rich, more than enough to feed the three brothers, and now I am the only one left, so I can't eat my mouth full of oil.
After thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long I slept and was suddenly awakened. Although the sound was small, it was very ear-piercing, and it was a big killer in the hands of the two-legged monsters!
Wolf Two was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and he shrank in the hole, holding his breath and concentrating on it for a long time, not daring to show his head. At this time, it began to regret again, regretting that it should not be greedy for enjoyment. If life is really so easy here, why would the experienced uncles and uncles move westward? They must not be able to survive.
But after waiting for a long time, the voices from the distance became more and more sparse, and gradually calmed down. Wolf Two bravely drilled out and smelled it, no, it still smelled like a monster with two legs. Searching around, I finally found a monster crawling towards the cliff.
Although the night vision of the wolves is not excellent, it is still good. The second wolf quickly judged the origin of this two-legged monster from the smell and appearance. Isn't it the guy who planted immoral iron traps in the valley every year, forcing the uncles and uncles to move their families, and beat the elder brother and the third younger brother to death with a big killer!
"I will fight with you!" How should I choose at this time, Wolf Two waited for another half an hour, and finally made up his mind after seeing the monster's costume clearly.
