Chapter 16 Chapter 15: The Shout After Nightfall

Searching behind our snow valley, just in case there were other people nearby, Zhang Yicheng dragged the devil's body far away from the entrance of the cave.There are several towering black boulders, a bit like Wuzhi Mountain, which look like the claws of a monster at night.Zhang Yicheng didn't think too much, and wanted to leave after losing the body, but found a big grave on the snow. It is said to be a grave bag, but it is not.It's just that the snow piled up, forming the shape of a grave bag.Earlier, the snow valley was hit by the air mass, and the snow on the mountain edge flowed down like a waterfall. It is not uncommon for there to be many such snow bumps in the valley.But the snow bump beside the black boulder was actually red, very conspicuous in the white snow.Zhang Yicheng stopped in doubt, looked around and saw nothing unusual, and then wanted to remove the snow bag.

This chopping was incredible, and a plump snow leopard was uncovered, which was twice the size of an ordinary snow leopard.Snow leopard is a very rare leopard. It is a rock-dwelling animal in plateau areas. It often appears on mountains with an altitude of 5,000 meters.However, Zhang Yicheng felt horrified, because the snow leopard was covered in blood and its head was gone. Zhang Yicheng was born in a hunter's family and grew up in the Qilian Mountains on the border of Qinghai and Gansu. He has been good at hunting birds and animals since he was a child.Zhang Yicheng is well aware of the habits of various ferocious beasts, but he never knew who could easily kill a nimble and vicious snow leopard in the plateau and mountainous areas.Afterwards, Zhang Yicheng pulled out the snow leopard's head from the depths of the snow pack after digging for a long time. It seemed that it was pulled off forcefully.Judging from the snow leopard's body, it had almost no chance of resisting and died instantly.

Zhang Yicheng immediately understood that the cave was the lair of the snow leopard. No wonder the beast hadn't been seen returning to its lair. It turned out that it had already died.When we walked here, we saw a few footprints on the snow, but the footprints disappeared after a few steps, and the things that seemed to have stepped on the footprints mysteriously evaporated.Seeing the dead snow leopard now, Zhang Yicheng remembered that those footprints were made by the snow leopard. But it had just snowed heavily at that time, even if you knew how to do light work, you would still leave footprints on the snow.The place where the snow pack is so far away from the footprints, at least a hundred meters, and the snow leopard can't fly, how could it die there.If someone kills a snow leopard and throws it over there, they have to go there.Zhang Yicheng felt very strange, there shouldn't be any big bird in the world that could move such a fat snow leopard.Observing from the position where the head was severed, it was impossible to tell whether it was bitten off, or it seemed to be forcibly pulled off.

After hearing this statement, I was not afraid at all. Instead, I patted my thigh and said, "Are you stupid? The snow leopard is full of meat, and you just throw it outside? Take it back and bake it. It's better than eating compressed biscuits." !" Hearing what I said, Zhang Yicheng also slapped his head: "Damn, how did I forget about this!" When Hu Liang heard about the snow leopard, he made up his mind to drag the snow leopard's body back to the cave with Zhang Yicheng. He was also very hungry.Han Xiaoqiang is still very weak, and Yang Ning is still awake, so I will stay and take care of them both.When Hu Liang went out, he also greeted Han Xiaoqiang, caring a little more than Yang Ning.I looked suspiciously at Hu Liang and Zhang Yicheng walking out with guns, and looked at Han Xiaoqiang in bewilderment, not sure what the secret was.

After they went out, I touched Yang Ning's head, and at some point, she had a fever.I immediately boiled a cup of water and fed it to Yang Ning. She was still a little conscious and would take the initiative to swallow the warm water.I couldn't help but feel that Yang Ning was tortured for three months, and it was a miracle that she survived. If it were me, I might have died long ago.Yang Ning drank some hot water, finally slowly opened his blurred eyes, and then stared at me blankly. "are you OK?" After a moment of silence, I said something dispensable, but Yang Ning didn't respond, as if he was stimulated by the Japanese devils just now.I didn't force Yang Ning either, she is mentally unstable, so it's understandable not to answer.On the contrary, Han Xiaoqiang leaned against the innermost part of the cave, chanting something trembling all the time, like a Tang monk reciting a mantra, with a terrible headache.I wasn't very comfortable at first, but listening to Han Xiaoqiang's non-stop reading, I wished I could become deaf.

"Stop reading, okay?" I finally got annoyed and yelled. Han Xiaoqiang looked at me, coughed, and said, "That set of numbers... 1417060255, I think I know what it means!" That night, in the snowy and windy night, we hid in the snow leopard's lair and exchanged the information we had learned, and only then did we get a little clue.Han Xiaoqiang didn’t tell me what the mysterious numbers meant at the beginning, but how he got into the aviation team—Han Xiaoqiang was from Heilongjiang, and when he went to study in Shanghai, he encountered the Japanese invasion of Shanghai. I followed the refugees all the way to Chengdu.It was there that Han Xiaoqiang was admitted to the twelfth phase of the Chinese Air Force Aviation Academy.But at that time, China didn't have anything to ask for, so from the twelfth phase of the Chinese Air Force, all of them were sent to the United States for training.

At that time, because of the easing of relations between the Soviet Union and Japan and the war between the Soviet Union and Germany, the Chinese Air Force did not have much contact with the Soviet Union.Han Xiaoqiang had learned radio technology from the Soviet Union before, and also learned this technology in the Chinese Air Force Aviation Academy, not driving technology.Therefore, starting from the twelfth period, not everyone has gone to the United States for training, and a small number of people who learn radio and other technologies are still studying in China. Han Xiaoqiang has a friend who went to the United States in the thirteenth period, and that friend is named Dai Feilong.Like me, Dai Feilong went to the United States by passenger ship. When he came back, he could no longer go to the Pacific Ocean because of the Japanese-American War.Like everyone else, Dai Feilong had to make detours from the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean in order to return home, and the means of transportation he used was an airplane.

That's right.Many of the planes "loaned" by the United States to China back then were driven all the way back by us, and this was also the last hurdle in our training courses.Dai Feilong was a bomber student. At that time, his comrades in the thirteenth class of transport aircraft had already flown first. A few days later, they were taken by the U.S. Air Force to the Memphis Aircraft Factory in Tennessee to receive five B-25 bombers. Dai Feilong had bragged to Han Xiaoqiang. When he entered the assembly workshop, he was completely dumbfounded.The workshop is full of assembly line assembly, and a B-25 bomber can be assembled in just over an hour.After Dai Feilong's test flight, the factory, the military, and Dai Feilong signed and officially delivered the B-25 bomber.At the time of delivery, Dai Feilong once saw a long-range transport aircraft - C-54, which was very rare at that time.The C-54 was piloted by an American and flew to China with Dai Feilong, taking the exact same route.

The flight route to China is very long, and it is inevitable to encounter wars on the way, so the pilots have their own self-protection methods.Generally, after the plane takes off, the radio operator or the co-pilot will take out the grid coordinate map after checking the "identifier or foe".On this coordinate chart, the horizontal grids are marked with A, B, C, D, E, F..., and the vertical grids are marked with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..., no matter who it is, Once an enemy plane is found in the air, it is necessary to use the fourth channel to report the location of the "square" where the Japanese plane is found in the fastest time, so that all friendly planes in the air can determine whether they are in the attacking position of the enemy plane.

When I heard this, I suddenly realized, no wonder I felt that there was something wrong with that set of numbers! The so-called "1417060255" is a geographical area in the grid coordinate map we used in the early stage.Because some of our Chinese pilots are good at English, and some are not good, so we read A, B, C, D...in turn as 01, 02, 03, 04... The form of a square area is two letters in the front and two numbers in the back. 14 and 17 are N and G, which represent horizontal grid lines, and 06 and 025 are numbers, which represent vertical grid lines.The following 5 is the mission code, so as not to be mistakenly received by other computers with different missions. The area of ​​141706025 is the northern belt of the Himalayas in the grid coordinates, and the number 5 at that time is the mission code of the group of Dai Feilong who flew the plane to China.

"You mean..." When I thought of this, I felt cold all over, even though my body had been cold for a long time. "Among Dai Feilong's planes returning home, one crashed in the Himalayas. Because the war was tense, and in order not to shake the morale of the army, this matter was not publicized. That plane is the long-range transport plane C-54!" Han Xiaoqiang breathed heavily , "You know, if the plane is in distress and the radio is still working, in order to be rescued accurately, the crash location and the code of that mission will be reported." "So the Americans who drive the C-54 will call 1417060255 to ask for help from a passing friend plane?" I asked chillingly, "But when did your comrade-in-arms fly back to China?" Before Han Xiaoqiang could answer, there was a scream outside the cave, piercing through the night's wind and snow, and Yang Ning was so frightened that he curled up into a ball.
