The old man pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Well, I still have some impression of that place. But after all, so much time has passed, and time will change a lot of things, so I'm not sure if they blocked that place later. Maybe that place no longer exists now, or it has been covered up by something else. Who knows?"
The commander said, "That's not a problem. As long as we find a trace, we will do our best to break it open."
He paused for a moment and said, "Would you like to lead us?"
The old man said readily, "I do."
The commander decisively dispatched an elite squad to follow the old man closely. They passed through numerous blockades, overcame many difficulties and obstacles, and finally arrived at the approximate location where the old man had escaped.
After arriving at the destination, the soldiers quickly launched a search operation. They did not miss any corner and carefully searched every inch of the surrounding land, but unfortunately, after all their efforts, they did not find any valuable clues or traces.
Faced with this result, the captain felt somewhat frustrated and began to consider abandoning the search mission. However, the old man was determined not to give up easily. He closed his eyes and silently recalled the scene of that year, revisiting every detail in his mind.
Suddenly, the old man seemed to have thought of something, he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes fell on a place they had just searched. He walked over quickly, squatted down, and carefully observed the soil on the land.
After a closer look, the old man was surprised to find that the color of the soil here was slightly different from that in other places, and there seemed to be obvious signs of filling. This discovery gave him a glimmer of hope, and he immediately called the soldiers over to dig and inspect the place more deeply.
He was a little excited and said with certainty, "This should be the place. Go in this direction, and there will be a cliff ahead. I will never forget this path."
After listening to his words, the captain thought about it carefully and felt that what he said was very reasonable. So, the captain made a quick decision and ordered the team members to start digging immediately.
With the soldiers' concerted efforts and hard work, the top layer of soil was quickly dug up. As the soil was gradually removed, the concrete floor gradually emerged. This discovery inspired everyone and strengthened their confidence.
Although the excavation process could not make any loud noise and avoid being discovered by the enemies inside, it was indeed very difficult to break through the rock-hard cement layer.
But compared to the difficult situation faced by the soldiers attacking the enemy below, these obstacles were nothing. Everyone understood that as long as they could break through this layer of cement as quickly as possible, they could buy more time for their comrades below and reduce their casualties.
After a lot of hard work, the last cement board was finally opened. When the cement board was removed, a jaw-dropping scene appeared before everyone's eyes - an enormous cave appeared before them, its scale was so huge that it was difficult to describe it in words.
Looking around, the cave was filled with a dazzling array of supplies. From a wide variety of weapons and ammunition to daily necessities, everything was available. It was like a massive warehouse, and one couldn't help but marvel at the abundance of supplies. It could easily support a regiment for three to five years.
The place was packed with enemies, some sitting, some standing, some lying down, with no sign of tension at all. Some were munching on bread, some were leisurely drinking water, and some were even humming a little tune.
While enjoying their food and entertainment, these enemies observed the situation outside with interest through the narrow sight hole, and a smug smile appeared on everyone's face.
However, their ease and complacency did not last long. At this moment, our officers and soldiers, after some hard work, finally succeeded in igniting the explosives inside.
Instantly, there was a deafening explosion, as if the entire world was shaken by this powerful force. The huge explosion was like thunder, deafening and terrifying.
With this resounding explosion, the surrounding mountains were engulfed in a blazing fire. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky, as if a massive earthquake were occurring. The flames spread in all directions, devouring everything, whether trees, grass, or rocks, all reduced to ash in the raging fire.
Wang Xiaolan was immersed in the memories of her previous life. At this moment, the sound of rustling leaves came from not far away.
When Wang Xiaolan heard the voice, her heart tightened and she immediately became alert. She quickly swept her eyes forward and saw a tall black shadow slowly walking towards her.
As the shadow gradually approached, Wang Xiaolan finally saw the face of the person coming - it was Zhao Lihan! The tension that had just risen to her throat relaxed.
"Zhao Lihan, you're back!" Wang Xiaolan finally stood up from the bushes where she had been hiding. She hurried forward, took Zhao Lihan's hand, and asked anxiously, "What's the situation outside?"
Zhao Lihan's face looked a little solemn, his brows were tightly furrowed. He didn't rush to answer her, but remained silent, as if considering how to answer Wang Xiaolan's question.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The situation is not optimistic..."
When Wang Xiaolan heard this, she said anxiously, "Tell me about it, maybe I can help you."
At this moment, there was a constant sound of gunfire from the mountain opposite...
Zhao Lihan was feeling a bit irritable. He took off his hat, fanned himself, took Wang Xiaolan's hand, and sat down in front of a large rock. He then began to recount the information he had gathered. His voice was low and serious, as if the information carried immense pressure.
Wang Xiaolan listened intently, as if time had stood still at this moment. Her brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep ravine, revealing her inner worry and uneasiness.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the report she had seen in her previous life. The outcome of this battle was extremely important to the entire war situation!
Wang Xiaolan knew that if they continued to fight like this, their troops would suffer heavy losses. She couldn't just stand by and do nothing! She had to quickly tell them the key to conquering this mountain.
At this moment, the gunshots became more and more frequent. Zhao Lihan scratched his head and racked his brains, but could not think of a good plan to fight the enemy.
He sighed, "This is a tough battle! It's too difficult. I wonder how many soldiers will be sacrificed!"
Wang Xiaolan gently comforted Zhao Lihan and said softly, "Don't worry, I have a way."
