1942, I lived on hunting

Chapter 44 Homemade Ghillie Suit

Zhang Lianshun and Qiao Dadong explained the route and address to Li Hao in detail, and also gave him some contact information and some information they knew. It would be a good idea if they didn't explain it to Li Hao. Li Hao was not familiar with the route, and he had never been to the local area and was not familiar with the local customs. If it was during the day, it might be easy to deal with it. But if he was a stranger who broke into the base at night, he didn't know the code and password, and he didn't have identity proof, it would easily cause misunderstandings.

It is more than thirty miles from the Liu Family Compound to the base. This thirty miles is a rough estimate of the distance. The two places are basically mountainous areas, and one needs to cross mountains and ridges on the way. In addition, one may take a detour because he is not familiar with the route. It would be good if Li Hao could arrive at night, and it is likely that he will arrive the next day.

Zhang Lianshun, Qiao Dadong and others planned to stay around the village and find a suitable place to set up a position for guarding. Li Hao advised them not to be impulsive and to evacuate quickly when encountering a large number of enemies and not to make unnecessary sacrifices. However, they refused to listen to Li Hao this time and only asked him to notify Captain Li as soon as possible and bring the team to come. The sooner the team arrives, the safer they will be!

Li Hao had no choice but to try his best!

However, Li Hao still had to prepare some things before he could set off, as this was related to whether he could safely cross the blockade during the day, so he couldn't be careless. So he went back to the abandoned cave to prepare some things, and by the way, he could bring some food to Zhang Lianshun and Qiao Dadong.

Li Hao first went to the village to find a few buckets, filled them with water and put them into the space. He wanted to add some living water to the cave. In order not to waste space utilization, he also filled some food, and then hurried to the cave.

Li Hao arrived at the cave entrance and placed the food and water buckets at the entrance, then asked two farmhands to carry them in. He took out a large roll of unused rope that he had exchanged for when setting up the booby trap last time and found a few women for help.

He found them and told them his requirements, asking them to weave a fishing net for him with holes of 10x10 cm, and then he went out to find some other materials.

He planned to make a ghillie suit. With the camouflage of the ghillie suit, he could hide his body better. However, wearing autumn and winter desert camouflage was not particularly safe.

At his urging, the woman quickly weaved a small net. He didn't bother to be polite and asked them to prepare some dry food. Then he picked up the fishing net and the remaining rope and turned to leave the cave.

Walking to a deserted place, he cut the fishing net into a suitable shape with a bayonet, and then began to tie various specially selected dead grasses, twigs, leaves, etc. to the fishing net, and soon a ghillie suit was made.

Ghillie suits are not difficult to make, but it is not easy to make them with good camouflage effect without affecting movement and combat. In particular, you need to observe carefully and correspond to the environment you need to use them in, and then make a suitable ghillie suit. The one made by Li Hao is only for one-time emergency use. It has good camouflage effect for specific environments, but it is not durable, and it is very inconsistent in different environments. It is not like the specially researched ones in later generations, which can be used in many different environments.

After making the ghillie suit, Li Hao tied some cloth strips and dry grass on the gun to camouflage it. Then he tried it and found that it did not affect its use, so he put it back into the space.

After getting ready, Li Hao sent some food and supplies to Zhang Lianshun and Qiao Dadong, and then asked Zhang Lianshun for his hunting knife. After saying goodbye and asking each other to be careful, Li Hao headed straight for the blockade without looking back.

After the Japanese devils withdrew their troops and evacuated the artillery tower, it was not difficult to cross the blockade at night. The puppet army was generally not so loyal to their duties. Generally, it would be fine if you were careful. The only thing to worry about was that the puppet army would sometimes shoot randomly at night. Then you could only rely on luck. The Eighth Route Army lacked effective assault weapons and had no particularly effective way to take the artillery tower, so they would not attack them unless it was particularly necessary, which allowed these beasts to survive to this day. However, Li Hao planned to recommend the "unscrupulous cannon" to the Eighth Route Army in a while. Thinking about the power of the unscrupulous cannon, I hope that these beasts in the security group will not cry too miserably when the time comes!

After Li Hao arrived near the blockade line, he carefully observed the environment and put on the ghillie suit after confirming that the temporary ghillie suit he made could perfectly blend into it.

The blockade line built by the Japanese with the turrets as the core actually had no technical content. The Japanese also lacked building materials such as steel bars and cement. Most of the turrets were made of local materials, such as stones, bricks, and adobes. Some were even rebuilt from reinforced civilian houses. They only needed to block machine gun fire and small-caliber indirect fire. The turrets were connected by trenches and barbed wire, and they communicated with each other by phone or radio. There were armored vehicles and patrols patrolling back and forth on the road at any time. Some turrets even had military dogs for vigilance and tracking. Often, one turret could block a large area.

However, with the attack of anti-Japanese forces and the shortage of Japanese troops, this situation has changed a lot. Now many artillery towers in not particularly important defensive areas have been replaced by puppet troops, and the cannons and heavy machine guns in the artillery towers have also been transferred away. Only a part of the Japanese troops are stationed in the county town as a mobile force, and they will rush to wherever there is a problem after receiving notification.

The blockade that Li Hao was going to pass was right between the two puppet army garrisons. The terrain was flat and one could see everything from the high turret. Therefore, the two turrets were far apart, with the closest one exceeding 800 meters. Since no one usually repaired the trench, part of it had collapsed, and the surrounding area was covered with not very tall weeds. The barbed wire next to the trench was intact, with some cans hung on it as alarms.

This kind of fortification, which seems quite simple from the perspective of later generations, does not pose a problem for Li Hao. Li Hao has many ways to get through it.

Li Hao put on the night vision goggles from a distance. Although the infrared mode function was not very effective during the day, it was still usable, especially its magnification function could be used as a telescope to observe the enemy, which was very convenient. In order to prevent the people in the turret from seeing the reflection of the glasses during the day, Li Hao also spent 200 points to exchange for a camouflage anti-reflective cover. After exchanging it, Li Hao almost got angry to death. The so-called anti-reflective cover is made of a piece of camouflage cloth with fine mesh, but it is specially fit for the size of night vision goggles!

Li Hao carefully observed the movements on the turret, and whenever the enemy was not paying attention, he would move forward a distance and hide. In fact, he was overthinking. As long as he was fast and agile, even if the puppet army found him, they could not stop him from crossing this crude blockade. The grenade launchers and light machine guns deployed by the puppet army on the turret could not do anything to Li Hao!

The range of the grenade launcher is not enough. The range of the light machine gun is enough, but do you expect those puppet soldiers to hit Li Hao from 800 meters away? Do they have that accuracy?

As for pursuing the enemy outside the artillery tower, it was not that Li Hao looked down on them, but they did not have the courage to do so.

I just don't know why people don't go here? Is it because it's dark under the lamp?
