Chapter 1318 The search was fruitless
Hill understands that today's harvest is probably the best chance left to gather food. Ranwen? ??.? r?a?n?? e?n `org。
The rain finally began to pour down with thunder. Throughout Manila, the bean-sized rain slapped on the ground, and soon it gathered into a stream, surging on the sea in the distance.
Bang Bang ...... Trampling in the rain, Duan Qirui, who was wearing a cloak, frowned, he knew that this heavy rain could be regarded as a great help to Hill.
The rain is too heavy, and there is thunder and lightning, this kind of weather is not suitable for airships to go out at all.
The South Seas are windy. Too much wind speed is not conducive to the airship taking off, plus this damn thunderstorm.
"Looks like our investigation is going to be delayed for a while." Looking at the black clouds in the sky, Duan Qirui said to Zhang Qing beside him.
Zhang Qing also knows this problem,
If you want to find the Hill troops in the dense forest to the east, you have to rely on airship reconnaissance, but now in this weather, it is impossible to dispatch airships at all.
"Yes, it looks like we're going to wait until the rain stops." Zhang Qing, who thought about it for a while, said.
For the time being, it can only be like this, sighing, Duan Qirui returned to the headquarters.
Boom...... The thunder was getting louder and louder, and the continuous torrential rain had begun to drift the dead grass in the entire eastern forest.
Thank God for this opportunity. Looking at the falling rain, Hill sighed in his heart.
This heavy rain made it impossible for the enemy's airship to rise into the air to reconnoitre, and he could also use this time to prepare food.
Gunshots could still be heard from time to time in the dense forest.
In the evening, when the rainstorm gradually stopped, Hill got a very considerable report, this time the troops participating in the hunt, the food collected, enough for everyone to eat for half a month.
Enough, more than enough rubbing, immediately, Hill ordered, using this time, to quickly raise the fire, roast all the meat and everything, and then distribute, as for the grain, all collected.
It was a hot summer, and although it was raining, the meat was not stored for long, and he planned to eat the meat first, and then the grain.
Hill was disappointed, the continuous rainstorm did not come the next day, and instead, the sun appeared in the sky.
The thick fog began to rise, which made Ciel, who was so nervous that he was in a hurry, smile again.
There is fog obscuration. The enemy's airship will not be able to take off for the time being, and even if it does, then nothing will be seen. Not to mention tidying up after yourself.
Two days, at most I have two more days. Looking at the rising mist, Hill said in his heart.
"Report, airship can't observe movement below." In the Governor's Palace, the adjutant reported to Duan Qirui in front of him about the situation of the airship taking off for reconnaissance today.
After the heavy rain stopped, Duan Qirui ordered the airship to take off immediately, and all of them contracted to the east mountain, originally, he thought that he would be able to find the position immediately, but everything seemed to be not what he thought at all.
Although the city of Manila can be seen in its entirety, this is Manila, and to the east, there is the forest.
The rain in the deep forest turned into mist under the sun's rays. Once the fog is blocked, nothing can be seen. Not to mention seeing the situation below.
Too impatient, this is because he is too impatient, why didn't he think of this, Duan Qirui, who heard this, didn't blame anyone, he knew that it was caused by himself.
"Stop investigating, wait for the fog to clear, and proceed with reconnaissance." Duan Qirui, who thought about it for a while, gave an order.
There was no buzz of airships in the sky, which made Hill a little uncomfortable, a few days ago, he could hear the sound of airships in the sky, but suddenly the enemy's airship did not come, which made Hill uncomfortable.
"Commander, have they given up on tracking us?" The chief of staff, who picked up a rabbit leg, asked.
Give up, this is impossible, his current threat is far greater than Lin Shan, he knows this, and he Duan Qirui will also know.
If he doesn't exterminate himself, Duan Qirui will never attack Lin Shan, this is Hill's judgment, after all, there are more than 10,000 people in his hands, and they can kill them at any time, and then give their transport team a heavy blow.
"No, it's not the offense, it's God who helped us." After saying this, Hill saw that the staff officer didn't understand, and immediately pointed to the fog around him.
"It's not that they have given up on investigating, but in this kind of weather, the other party can't investigate anything at all.
So that's the case, the chief of staff who heard this nodded, and then handed the rabbit meat in his hand to Hill.
If you have meat to eat, you don't have to worry about it, and here you can't get rid of all the fog without two or three days, not to mention, there may be rain these days.
Hill hopes that it will rain again, so that he can have one more day of peace.
However, he was expected to be disappointed, and it rained heavily that day, and for the next few days, the sun was shining.
The good days came to an end, and on the third day, Hill, who got up, saw that there was no fog in the mountains, and immediately called out unwillingly in his heart.
Nanyang, the Governor's Palace, after many days of waiting, Duan Qirui finally got an important news, the fog in the mountains and forests in the east has completely dispersed.
Duan Qirui, who had been waiting for the news for several days, immediately gave an order, so the airships, all of them were scattered, and then, like the big net, began a comprehensive search.
Buzz Buzz....... After receiving the order, the ten airships still took off from the aircraft carrier and began to expand and contract inch by inch.
It is not very easy to search for troops in the vast forest.
On the first day of the search, the entire airship formation returned in vain.
There must have been some cover, otherwise, the airship would not have been able to search for anything. Looking at the telegram from the report, Duan Qirui, who was sitting in the chair, thought in his heart.
The airships were all about 100 meters away this time, and they were assisted by telescopes.
However, no trace of the enemy could be found in this way, and Duan Qirui knew that Hill must have done something to conceal the whereabouts of the troops.
It wasn't that easy to do, and it was very easy for more than 10,000 people to hide in the woods.
I don't believe it, you can hide it so deeply, and you don't show any traces at all, Duan Qirui, who picked up the message in his hand again, looked at it, and placed the message on the table, he decided, he went to investigate the situation himself, and then made a conclusion.
Duan Qirui decided to go to the dense forest in the east to take a look, he estimated that Hill was near the dense forest in the east, but he still had to find out where it was. (To be continued.) )
