Chapter 1233 Capture
On the other side, Talolin suddenly stopped and said, "Okay, let's start turning back now and go to the place where we just stayed to see if we can make any new discoveries."
"Squad leader, we shouldn't find anything if we turn back suddenly, right?" Makaric asked.
Talolin scolded: "Don't talk too much at this time, just do as I say."
Then the small team rushed back in a hurry.
"Stop!" Talarolin suddenly ordered: "Don't destroy the scene."
The sharp-eyed Talorin immediately noticed some changes in the place where he just stayed. In order to prevent his soldiers from damaging the traces, he asked his troops to stay on the outside.
"Someone should have passed here just now, and there is a high probability that he is a Serbian investigator." Tarolin said with certainty.
Makaric asked: "Squad leader, how do you know!"
Talorin pointed to the grass on the ground and said, "Look at whether the grass here is bent."
Makaric said: "Could it be that we stepped on it ourselves? After all, we walk this mountain road every day, and there are no different shoe prints on the ground."
Talorin shook his head and said: "This shows that you are not careful enough. Look carefully at the direction in which the grass bends. The grass poles here are obviously walked by people's shoes horizontally. Our patrol is longitudinal, so the two sides There is a clear difference in the traces left behind.”
"And here, there is a fallen leaf here, which looks very abrupt." As he spoke, Talorin picked up a leaf from the ground.
He put the leaf in his hand and said: "This leaf is obviously still very fresh. Its petiole is even green, and there is still juice here. It was obviously brought here by foreign objects. Did any of you break the leaves here just now? ?”
Everyone shook their heads and said, "No."
"That's right!" Talolin continued: "This leaf was not left by us, so there is a high probability that it was someone else who brought him here."
"Look further, someone has clearly stepped on the grass on the other side of the road. This shows that the enemy is very cunning. He crossed the path directly, but even if he crossed over, he would inevitably step on the weeds on both sides."
"So the weeds on both sides of the road have signs of damage. This is why I was able to notice that something was wrong at the first time. You should pay more attention in the future, maybe you can save your life."
As he spoke, Talorin began to check the clues on the side of the road. After all, after determining two points, he could basically pinpoint the intruder's whereabouts.
Sure enough, after going deep into the jungle, he found more clues. Talorin said: "There should be one who passed through our jurisdiction. His direction was from south to north. In the jungle, he seemed a little rough, leaving There are a lot of footprints.”
"There is also a small path here that is difficult to detect because it is covered by trees. This is most likely the path that locals used to go up the mountain to cut firewood. There are traces of people cleaning it with machetes on both sides of the road, but these few No one walks there, so it’s quite covered with vegetation.”
"Let's follow this road now and go down the mountain quickly. Maybe we can catch him."
Afterwards, under the personal leadership of Talorin, everyone quickly headed down the mountain along this path. Although the road was quite winding and covered by branches, leaves and shrubs, it did not affect the marching speed at all.
As members of the Kingdom of Dalmatia, a subordinate kingdom of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this small force has rich experience in mountain marches.
After all, the terrain of Neretva is full of mountains and coastal hills, including the capital Mostar, which is also a city built in mountain valleys.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia living in this environment can be said to have no pressure at all when dealing with such complex terrain.
While Talorin and the others were chasing down the mountain, the hunted man was unaware of it. He kept opening a path ahead with a machete.
Of course, deep in the jungle, he did not think that this small movement could alert the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia. After all, there were many wild animals here, and it was far away from the daily patrol routes of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia. Unless the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia have a good ear, no one can hear this sound.
However, he obviously underestimated the intuition and ability of Talarolin, an old fox, and would soon pay the price for his carelessness. Not long after, Talorin made a new discovery, and this new discovery made him feel very good.
"This guy couldn't have been faster. After all, it was a road that hadn't been traveled for at least a few months, so he also used sharp tools to cut down the bushes, weeds and branches in front of the road."
"This shows that he is clearing a path ahead, and his work is obviously making it easier for us to speed up along this route."
After almost half an hour.
Makalic suddenly whispered: "There is a sound."
Talolin nodded and said: "It seems that the person is in front. Next, we will divide into three parts to outflank them."
In the deep mountains and forests, the man was chopping with a hatchet. There was no human habitation in this area, so he didn't realize that he had been overtaken.
He also said: "I remember last winter, this trail was relatively convenient. Sure enough, it was difficult to walk without anyone cleaning it for several months."
The Kingdom of Serbia retreated at the end of the year, and in the Mediterranean climate, winters are warm and humid, so it is difficult for the vegetation here to flourish again after being baptized by winter rains.
Suddenly, the man heard movement.
At this time, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia were only thirty meters away from him. It was impossible to go deep into the dense forest without making any noise.
run! This is the man's only thought.
"Chase!" Talarolin quickly made arrangements.
Unfortunately, at this time, the man was already panicking. After all, it was impossible not to panic when facing a large enemy.
The hunt lasted for only five minutes. A man with a full beard was pinned down in a bush by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia. Mainly in a dense forest, he would definitely suffer a loss if he ran ahead. After all, he had to open a road, and All the Dalmatian soldiers had to do was follow.
"Squad leader, I got it, I got it!"
Talorin also hurried over. Relying on the Mosin Nagant behind the man, Talorin immediately confirmed the man's identity.
"Tie up this Serbian."
The Mosin-Nagant rifle is a Russian weapon. Of course, the Kingdom of Serbia also equips it in large quantities, so with this rifle, the identity of the intruder can basically be locked. The Austro-Hungarian army has its own rifles, and the Bulgarian army is equipped with German-style rifles. The rifle may be German or East African.
Although the man still wanted to struggle, such a struggle was obviously difficult to achieve in the face of the overwhelming number of Dalmatian soldiers.
The Serbian man struggled to no avail and could only curse loudly. Unfortunately, his mouthful of birdsong and flowery flowers did not pose any threat at all. No matter how harsh the curses were, only the soldiers of the Kingdom of Dalmatia could understand Serbian.
During the long-term German education in the Kingdom of Dalmatia, or the former Neretva region, many people no longer even know Chinese and only speak fluent German.
"Be honest!" Although Makaric didn't understand what the man said, looking at his ferocious face and tone, he knew that the prisoner didn't have anything nice to say.
Talorin said at this time: "Makarich, you and Wesen are responsible for watching him. We wasted a lot of time trying to catch him. It will probably be night when we go down the mountain."
In order to catch this Serbian element, Talorin's team spent nearly two hours. Now they turned back and returned to the camp. It took about three hours on the road, which added up to about five hours.
Of course, Talorin and the others were quite excited. After all, pursuit activities were inherently risky, that is, because of the dense forest environment, which made it difficult to deploy guns. Otherwise, the resister would definitely have to use bullets to attack Talorin and his party. people.
