Chapter 896: The Great Earthquake

"Dada~~Dada~~~"

The crisp sound of gunfire resounded in the early morning of one morning on a plateau outpost called Sanctuary Bay in the Karakoram Mountains, in front of which was the key point of the Silk Road and the only main road in and out of the Karakoram Mountains.

Because of this, although the altitude of Sanctuary Bay is more than 5,300 meters above sea level and the oxygen content is less than half that of the inland plains, it has been a strategic point since ancient times, because defending this place, foreign countries from West and South Asia will not want to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it set up a post here for decades.

"Squad leader, squad leader~~~ Why do I hear the sound of artillery under the mountain?

The big black man who finished shooting the target with live ammunition as required only felt that his chest was tight and his ears were ringing for a while, and he immediately looked at Feng Bolin, who led the team to Shenxian Bay yesterday afternoon, and asked in a trance.

Feng Bolin was stunned for a moment, and his head couldn't turn around, but before he could answer, an order came from beside him, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang~~ Quickly help Xiao Yao into the oxygen room." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two soldiers immediately stepped forward, and dragged the big black man to the barracks next to him, and the thin man who ordered people to take away the big black man came to Feng Bolin and explained: "Typical altitude sickness, you have to hurry up, otherwise you will die." ”

Feng Bolin reacted at this time, there was no way, he was a little uncomfortable now, after all, the oxygen here was less than half of the plains, and in the case of lack of oxygen, not only would his face be suffocated with plateau red, but even his thinking ability would be reduced.

So he nodded, and looked at the soldier in front of him who was about the same age as himself with admiration, this black and thin soldier was named Chen Dongliang, and he was the squad leader of the current Shenxian Bay outpost garrison.

Looking at Chen Dongliang's face darkened by ultraviolet rays, Feng Bolin wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Chen Dongliang: "If you are uncomfortable, say a few words, urine at an altitude of five thousand meters, and it was the same when I first came, I had to hold an oxygen tank and take two sips at every turn, so that the old squad leader at that time said that I was like a medicine jar, and said that all the soldiers who came out of Immortal Bay were immortal soldiers, and what they breathed was not oxygen but fairy energy. ”

"Haha~~~cough~~~"

Feng Bolin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but the lack of oxygen immediately made him feel tight, and he couldn't help coughing, Chen Dongliang hurriedly took the portable oxygen bag and helped Feng Bolin insert it into his nostrils, Feng Bolin inhaled a few times before he felt better, and then asked curiously: "Now that old squad leader has retired from the army and changed jobs, right?"

"Nope. ”

"Is that going to other troops?"

"Didn't either?"

Feng Bolin was a little surprised at this time, he didn't change jobs and didn't go to other troops, so where did he go?

You must know that he was ordered to lead the team to deliver supplies to the Shenxian Bay outpost in the name of the exercise this time, and it has been nearly a day since he arrived yesterday afternoon, and he has seen one of the ten people in a squad in the outpost, but he hasn't seen the eleventh head, could it be that the old squad leader will be invisible?

"He's there. Just when Feng Bolin was puzzled, Chen Dongliang raised his head in the direction north of the shooting range, Feng Bolin found that there were several tombs made of stones among the snow, and at the same time, Chen Dongliang's voice sounded again: "The second on the right is the old squad leader, three years ago at this time, we encountered an avalanche while patrolling, and the three soldiers, including the old squad leader, were all ......."

Chen Dongliang didn't finish his words, but Feng Bolin understood it, and in an instant, the whole person became solemn, turned his head to look at Chen Dongliang, his eyes were more respectful, but Chen Dongliang smiled when he saw this: "Why are you looking at me like this? Don't believe this, two years ago, there was a mountaineer in China who didn't believe in evil, and asked someone to climb here, but he didn't get to the place and coaxed, crying so badly, big man, crying like an angry little daughter-in-law, we were ordered to look for it, not to mention that it was a shame. ”

As he spoke, he gave Feng Bolin a thumbs up: "Compared with the bombastic mountaineers, you airborne troops have to say this, and at this time you can still send us supplies, which means extraordinary to us, at least the New Delhi outpost on the opposite side is doing tricks, Lao Tzu dares to fight them to the death, anyway, we have your airborne comrades behind us to support us at any time, what do they have?"

Chen Dongliang is a native of Jinmen City, and he is born with a sense of humor in language, especially the children's pronunciation of the charm of Jinmen, which always gives people a sense of joy that is not very serious.

But Feng Bolin knew that Chen Dongliang's seemingly funny words were not funny at all, in fact, he came to the back of the Sanctuary Bay outpost and learned that just outside the Line of Actual Control on the west side, in addition to a winding China-Pakistan highway, there was also an airport built in New Delhi.

Although the altitude is also above 5,000 meters, due to the terrain, the conditions are much better than the Sanctuary Bay outpost, at least at the critical moment, New Delhi can use transport planes to carry out air replenishment at any time, and even cut off the China-Pakistan highway, while the nearest airport behind the Sanctuary Bay outpost is 150 kilometers away, and can only rely on the highway into Tibet behind it to maintain the lifeblood of foreign communication.

Because of this, one of the most important live-fire exercises carried out by the Airborne Forces in the Karakoram Mountains was to support several highland posts with the Sanctuary Bay outpost as the core.

This tells some people that the high-altitude outposts are not alone, and that they may be supported by rear forces at any time.

Of course, while deterring the outside, it is also an incentive for the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Shenxian Bay outpost, after all, fighting alone seems to be brave, but the officers and soldiers are bound to bear a great burden psychologically, and now that support can come up at any time, the officers and soldiers of the outpost can unload their burdens and perform their tasks with peace of mind, because the reliance behind them is enough to make them feel at ease.

The Sanctuary Bay post was relieved, but on the opposite side, eight kilometers east of China-Pakistan, Ahra Sumo, a senior reporter at the New Delhi Press Trust at the SB airstrip in the Line of Actual Control (LAC), was worried, and looked at the Voice of America reporter Michael Hashimoto, a Japanese-Canadian on the side, with a pleading gaze: "Mr. Hashimoto, you can't send out this manuscript, so I'll be finished." ”

"The facts are already in front of us, and New Delhi can't afford to sustain it. Hashimoto was unmoved.

"Rest assured, there will be a turnaround, I dare to assure Shenox that New Delhi has already started a meeting to discuss this matter, and believe me, there will be a good outcome. Su Mo continued to speak bitterly.

Hashimoto sneered: "With the inefficiency and bureaucracy of New Delhi, you have to be able to discuss it within two years?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Su Mo and walked straight to the door, Su Mo still wanted to stop him, but before he could open his mouth, he felt that the ground shook for a while, one was directly overturned to the ground without standing firm, and Hashimoto was not much better, the same one stumbled, but no matter how embarrassed Su Mo and Hashimoto were, there was an indisputable fact that came to the hearts of the two, and there was a major earthquake in the Karakoram Mountains......
