Chapter 135 Female Soldier Asks for Help
Lin Lizhen sat against the cave a little weakly. When she heard Zhang Dongliang asking Li Caizhu about her injuries, she gave him a grateful smile and nodded.
"Okay, it will be dark soon, let's divide the work. Comrade Lin Lizhen is injured, so she should have a good rest tonight and won't have to stand guard.
Comrade Li Caizhu, from now until 23:00 at night, you will be on guard duty. I will get up at 23:00 to take over from you, and I will be on guard in the second half of the night."
Li Caizhu nodded and had no objection to this division of labor in security.
Although the US Army rarely conducts night battles, they will still do so under special circumstances. Having just escaped from the pursuers, they did not dare to light a fire in the cave. It is better to be careful.
After the two of them had divided the work, Zhang Dongliang lay down on the side of the cave with his clothes on and closed his eyes to rest. He was very tired that day, so he had to take the time to recover his strength and energy.
In front of outsiders, he did not enter the small world. Does battlefield training have to look like battlefield training?
However, Zhang Dongliang just closed his eyes to rest and did not fall asleep immediately. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
Although he could completely trust the two South Vietnamese female soldiers in the current historical environment, he still observed them for a long time before he actually fell asleep.
At 22:50 in the evening, Zhang Dongliang woke up on time.
Even in the middle of the night, the tropical jungle was hot and humid for a northerner like Zhang Dongliang. Li Caizhu stood not far from the cave entrance, looking around and on guard.
He came to Li Caizhu and said, "Comrade Li, you should take some time to rest. I will be on guard in the second half of the night."
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhang."
As soon as Zhang Dongliang came out of the cave, Li Caizhu saw him. They had just met and were not familiar with each other. Besides, now was not the time to chat, so Li Caizhu did not say much, nodded, and hurried back to the cave to rest.
Seeing that the two South Vietnamese women in the cave were already asleep, Zhang Dongliang also quietly slipped into the small world to test it out.
Zhang Dongliang discovered that when he entered the small world in a battlefield environment, he consumed not only his mental energy but also his physical energy.
Xiaodie explained that due to the rarity of supernatural powers, the small world needed to use the energy of Zhang Dongliang's body to maintain the integrity of the passage in and out of the small world.
Zhang Dongliang calculated that in a battlefield environment, he would have at most two to three opportunities to enter and exit the small world every day.
At present, the entry and exit of non-living objects are not greatly affected and the consumption is relatively low.
Zhang Dongliang sensed the situation outside in the small world again and found that in the small world, he could only vaguely sense a distance of more than 5 meters outside, less than 10 meters.
In this case, you cannot enter the small world by yourself unless it is absolutely necessary, because when you come out, you don't know what you will face.
Unless the outer world is safe, enter the small world to hide or rest.
It wasn't all bad news. After a day of adapting to the battlefield, Zhang Dongliang found that his soul and mental strength, which had not changed for many years, had loosened a little and were slightly growing.
This was great news for Zhang Dongliang. The soul was the basis for traveling through the heavens and the worlds. After staying in the courtyard for several years without any movement, coming to the battlefield to face the test of life and death actually promoted the growth of the soul.
Born in adversity, die in comfort, the ancients were right. I have been comfortable for too long, it is time to experience the world.
Zhang Dongliang took out the radio equipment of later generations and monitored the US military's communications. It was very easy to monitor the current radio with the means of later generations. The US military's encryption was useless and could be easily cracked.
But the US military had hardly made any moves at night, and the radio had very little information. It seemed that we would have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out.
Nothing happened all night.
This emergency shelter was a temporary storage site abandoned by the North Vietnamese. It was not very big. After checking inside, there were no supplies left. It seemed that they had all been taken away by the guerrillas.
After breakfast, the American soldiers' individual rations in their backpacks were almost gone.
Lin Lizhen and Li Caizhu were not combatants. Now they were surrounded by the enemy, and Li Lizhen was injured, so it was difficult for them to escape alone.
No one wants to die while they can live, and they both looked at Zhang Dongliang with longing eyes.
"Comrade Zhang, can you come with us and help us?" Li Lizhen begged. She was injured and unable to move, which was a big problem.
Zhang Dongliang hesitated for a moment. He had just arrived at the battlefield and was still unclear about the specific situation. He was not in a hurry to expand his activity range. He would first search the surrounding area for a few days to see the situation.
“That’s fine. I’ll stay here with you for a few days to rest until Comrade Lin’s injury gets better.
You stay here during the day and don't move. I'll go out and search for some supplies, otherwise we'll all starve to death."
"Then please pay more attention to safety, Comrade Zhang." When Lin Lizhen and Li Caizhu saw that Zhang Dongliang agreed, they looked at each other happily, their faces full of desire to survive.
He took out the camouflage combat uniform from his bag and put on combat boots. After looking at the cave entrance for a while, Zhang Dongliang crouched down and walked out of the cave where he was hiding, and slowly moved forward to search below.
He discovered that if he did not enter and exit the small world or teleport, and used all his mental energy to perceive the surrounding situation, his sensitivity would be greatly enhanced and his premonition of danger would also greatly increase.
Zhang Dongliang walked while thinking distractedly. This was not his war, but someone else's business, and he would never participate in any large-scale battle.
Unless they are senior commanders, frontline soldiers basically play the role of cannon fodder in large-scale combat.
No one knows which bullet will come from which direction.
I am here to gain experience, not to help you pacify the world. This is not my national war. I am just following behind and shooting from behind, and taking advantage of the situation.
Zhang Dongliang had set a tone in his mind for this battlefield experience.
Zhang Dongliang monitored the actions of the US military at any time through the radio. After monitoring for a long time, he felt more and more confused.
This world is indeed very chaotic. He doesn't know which plot is going on now, it seems that traces of any plot can be found here.
The key is that he can't remember many details of the plot. So never mind, just deal with it as it comes.
Through monitoring and observation with telescopes, it was discovered that the US military had built a new forward base on an open space not far from the foot of the mountain.
Through eavesdropping, Zhang Dongliang discovered that there were several groups of people in this forward base, one of whom was from the Green Berets.
The Americans are now mainly engaged in special operations, but as the war progresses slowly, conventional ground operations are gradually increasing.
The US military adopted a step-by-step approach. First, they established a forward base, and then built model villages in the areas under the southern government. They took steady steps and gradually eroded the guerrillas' range of activities.
At this time, the famous Meihua Village Massacre had already occurred. The top US military officials warned the lower-level troops via radio to pay attention to restraining the soldiers, so as not to have a bad international image.
Then Zhang Dongliang would have no psychological burden when attacking the American troops.
