Chapter 615 Scapegoat
Chapter 615 Scapegoat
It was already evening when Zhao Cheng left Wei Hong's place. He just had a simple meal with his daughter and chatted with her. Then Zhao Cheng left and had to go see how his eldest son was doing. Zhao Cheng was also curious about what had happened that made Zhao Weidong chase him from Lang Son to Gaoping.
Zhao Cheng followed the trail and began to search for Zhao Weidong and the others. How could he find them? Zhao Weidong and the others hadn't hidden their whereabouts and were pursuing them openly. As a veteran, Zhao Cheng couldn't possibly be unaware of their whereabouts.
"Why did these guys suddenly head towards the northwest? Did they see a target worth attacking?" Zhao Cheng became more and more confused and had to speed up to catch up.
About eight or nine kilometers ahead of Zhao Cheng, Zhao Weidong and Li Kuiyong's team were also trying hard to pursue forward.
However, Li Kuiyong and the others can only slow down Zhao Weidong's speed now, as the difference in physical fitness between them is too great.
But Weidong couldn't abandon them and chase them alone, right? He didn't have the freedom of movement his father had. So he could only chase at a normal speed.
More than two kilometers ahead of Weidong and his team, a young soldier from the Vietnamese special forces battalion was running hard forward. He was almost reaching his limit.
His name is Nguyen Van Hung, and he is a sniper in the Second Team of the Vietnamese Army Special Forces Battalion. He is only 21 years old this year, but he is already a veteran with five years of military service.
He had fought against the American special forces on the battlefield before, and the two sides had even fought to a draw. Originally, he came to the north this time to snipe and kill the enemies coming from the north.
Especially those senior military officers were his main targets. However, the poor performance of the Vietnamese army on the front battlefield made him realize the powerlessness of his country's army when fighting in large groups.
That's why he would act alone away from the main force. Fortunately, over the years, he has become accustomed to acting alone and has always been a lone ranger.
However, this time, he experienced the taste of failure. He did not expect that he would be chased so far away like a dog just for sniping a soldier who was wearing special clothes.
Now he didn't dare to delay even a little. He could feel that the person behind him was not far away.
Fortunately, this is deep in the mountains and old forests. If the road conditions were a little better, I would have been caught and killed long ago. The person chasing him was really terrifying.
He had thought about counterattacking and shooting the person who was tracking him before, but as soon as he aimed at that person, the other party fired a shot at the place where he was hiding while moving. There was no aiming action at all, he just raised the gun and shot!
At that time, he was very alert and barely avoided the opponent's shot. This also made him realize that the person chasing him was not someone he could defeat at all. So he took advantage of the darkness and jumped directly into a stream and escaped through the underwater river.
Unfortunately, this only gave him less than a day of relief. The next night, he found himself being targeted again.
At that time, he was at the top of the mountain, and the people chasing him were at the foot of the mountain. They discovered him early and ran away. But now they were being chased to a distance of no more than three kilometers. This made Ruan Wenxiong want to give up, otherwise he would just let them catch up. He really couldn't run anymore and was too tired.
At this moment, Ruan Wenxiong heard a familiar language, which turned out to be the language of his own country. This gave Ruan Wenxiong, who had been running in the jungle for so long, a shot of adrenaline in his heart.
Ruan Wenxiong quickly ran in the direction of the sound and found that it was coming from a cave. And there was more than one person's voice.
Ruan Wenxiong did not rush in, but lay down at the entrance of the cave and listened.
"Two commanders, the situation is very serious now. Our team has been dispersed. We must hide here first and wait until the people on the opposite side finish searching the mountain before we can go out again. I will camouflage the cave entrance later. You just hide here, and these four people will serve as your guards to protect your safety! Colonel Ruan Haiping has died, and we cannot have division-level personnel being captured or killed again!" said a man.
"Lieutenant Colonel Li, we understand! It was our fault that the war was lost. Don't worry, there are no cowards in our 346th Division!" said another person.
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Li, don't worry. If it's impossible, we two old guys will go to see Marx in advance! We won't be captured by the enemy in the north!" Another person also began to express his determination.
"Two leaders, don't worry, I will do my best to lead the search team away!" The man named Lieutenant Colonel Li also promised.
As the sound of footsteps came, Ruan Wenxiong immediately moved away from the cave and observed from a distance.
A man with a resolute face and wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel from the special forces battalion walked out of the cave. After re-camouflaging the cave, he walked to a distance, deliberately left traces, and began to walk away.
Ruan Wenxiong never went to join up with Lieutenant Colonel Li from beginning to end. If he joins up with them now, he will probably be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Isn't this just escaping from the tiger's mouth and walking into the wolf's den?
However, Ruan Wenxiong had an idea as soon as his eyes turned. He secretly walked to the entrance of the cave and threw a few packages of compressed biscuits in a not-so-conspicuous place.
Then he walked half-hiddenly to the trace left by Lieutenant Colonel Li and continued to move towards the distance following his trace.
After advancing about one kilometer along the trail, Ruan Wenxiong broke away from Colonel Li's route in a place with more complex terrain and headed towards other places.
At this time, Zhao Weidong was less than a mile away from the cave.
"Weidong, we are almost ten kilometers away from that mountain. If we still can't catch up with that person when we get there, you must come back with me. We have been out for too long and we must go back!" Li Kuiyong grabbed Weidong who wanted to speed up and persuaded him earnestly.
"Kui Yong, don't worry. As long as there is no trace of the sniper on that mountain, I will definitely not continue to pursue him. I keep my word!" Wei Dong could only say this.
The six of them continued their pursuit, eventually reaching the cave where Ruan Wenxiong had left. Weidong and his companions quietly climbed the mountain, where Li Kuiyong discovered the hidden compressed biscuit packaging and the hidden cave.
Li Kuiyong didn't dare to delay and immediately walked to Weidong's side, pulled him and pointed to the location of the cave. Weidong's eyes lit up.
After a few hand gestures, the six people formed an attacking formation and slowly moved towards the cave!
