Crossing the Ural Mountains, the matter of hiding the traces of his actions has made Li Huan play badly.

Fighting against the snowman, Li Huan triggered the heavenly thunder, and the aura satellites in the sky would definitely detect it immediately with this aura intensity. So now, in fact, there is no big thing to hide or not, Li Huan and what they have to do is to reach their destination as soon as possible.

After climbing over the mountain, there was an uproar in front of me. Standing on the mountain and looking down, unlike the western peak, which resembles a ridge of death, the eastern peak is a large gentle slope. It is the miracle of nature that makes all this possible, and every year the Siberian wilderness brings countless snowflakes from the cold winds of the Arctic, which do not blow the Ural Mountains, forming a gentle accumulation slope at the foot of the Ural Mountains. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, first of all, there is a huge, snow-white steep slope, today's weather is not bad, and you can see the scene more than ten kilometers away from a distance. Beneath the steep slope more than a dozen kilometers away is the dark green forest line.

In the midst of this forest line, Li Huan noticed that there were also some gray hidden very good cement buildings. They were scattered in the dark green tree line, and Li Huan was very curious: "What kind of building is this? There is still a village in this place? Why is it built like this? Is there still a life here?"

Li Huan asked about two Russian girls.

"Boss, no, it's not a village, it's a former permanent military building. Agata took the initiative to explain: "You don't know about the boss. The Ural Mountains were previously a buffer line between Europe and Asia during the Cold War. During World War II, it was a place where the German army and the former Soviet army faced off. You see, we have just climbed up from the west, and there is no need to build any bunkers or fortifications there, because even if the former Soviet troops climb up from the eastern slope, they will not be able to descend normally there. You know, the army march is not one or two people, the army march is large-scale, if you think about the avalanche just now, which commander dares to take this risk? The shock caused by a large-scale march is very easy to avalanche, even if they can't cause an avalanche, as long as the garrison on the opposite side hits the floating snow with a rocket, they can reimburse a group army. ”

"Well, that makes sense, but there is a real need for guards here. Li Huan nodded: "How far is our dog sled?"

"Boss, just cross the tree line and go to the nearest village...... It's about twenty kilometers away. Agata turned on the GPS, anyway, according to Li Huan's current statement, there is no need to hide anything, she simply began to use GPS to calibrate the location, but Agata is not stupid, after measuring the location with GPS, she immediately turned off the device to minimize the possibility of being tracked. Although the aura leak was tracked, and the people in the evening note may know that Li Huan and the others had crossed the Ural Mountains, but the next road was in the Great Siberian Wilderness, and no one was sure that they could find a few traces of a few people in the Great Siberian Wilderness without guidance.

"Okay, let's hurry up. Li Huan nodded: "Although this side is a gentle slope, you still have to be careful, this kind of piled up gentle slope, the snow is the loosest, if one accidentally falls into the snow cave, the snow cave here may be 100 meters deep, it is really a god who can't save it." ”

"Boss, don't worry, we've all climbed the mountain, will the descent still stump us?" said Rodman, who was the one who wanted to leave the snowy mountain the most: "Don't worry, this kind of gentle slope is the most suitable for skiing." Don't look at me, I can't climb, but I can ski. When we were marching forward, we were professionally trained to deal with all kinds of terrain. You don't have to worry about this, such a large gentle slope is our playground, let you see our delta professional. ”

Leon smiled without saying a word, but he could see a relaxed look on his face.

Both men had previously trained in the Citigroup Delta Special Forces. The Delta Special Forces are arguably one of the most elite special forces in the world. They are trained to carry out all kinds of surprise attacks in all kinds of situations, and they are good at dealing with all kinds of bad situations. Whether it's a desert, ocean, snow-capped mountains, swamps, forests, they can walk on the ground. In fact, the Delta Special Forces are indeed the most elite special forces in the world, and when it comes to snow assault, they are not far behind the most professional ski teams.

"But there was no equipment here, so if I had known that, I would have bought a snowboard in Finland. In the end, Leon couldn't hold back his pretense: "I'm a person who has participated in the Alaska Snowboard Classic." ”

"That's it. Rodman also regretted: "But it doesn't matter, let's move quickly and go on." ”

Compared to the arrogance of the two, Rovisha and Agata laughed and did not speak. The two girls plus Shangguan Qing together. They're making improvised sleds for themselves. In the Russian army, there is often snow marching training, and they are good at making tools for themselves out of all kinds of simple things. Rovisha and Agata have obviously been exposed to this training, and although it is snowy, if you are looking for something, you can still find a lot of materials here. For example, Rovisha, after walking around the snow, seems to have found something under a snowdrift. She kicked the snowdrift away first, then lowered herself and pulled it with her hand, revealing a dry log from beneath the snow.

Li Huan immediately understood at a glance, this is a common maple tree in Siberia, about the time of the snowstorm, it couldn't withstand the attack of the blizzard and was blown down entirely, and then slowly pushed up by the wind and snow and buried in the snow. After pulling the four-meter-long log out of the snow, the two Russian girls took out the dagger they were carrying, and the two of them worked together to split the log with a few clicks—and then several planks quickly appeared in front of everyone.

The plank was about 1.5 meters long and 30 centimeters thick. The whole plank is streamlined, round in the front and pointed in the back, and there is a groove in the front and back of the plank, so you can see what this thing is used for at a glance. The two Russian girls deserved to have undergone regular Russian military training in the snow, and in a very short time, they made six snowboards.

This is an essential skill for Russian soldiers, who are good at using various materials to make equipment because of their long-term duty in the ice and snow. Making a snowboard sled is as easy as eating. In fact, Li Huan can do a better job in this matter, he was also thinking about making skis just now, but he didn't expect that the movements of the two Russian girls were faster, and the skis made were extremely practical, and even the two pits for stepping on their feet were planned in it.

"Let's go, you two are just going to brag, haha. Li Huan took the skis and tried them on, and thought it was pretty good: "Is there anyone who can't ski? If not, let Rovisha and Agata take a little." ”

Everyone said yes, think about it, Li Huan won't talk about it in this gang, as long as it is the skill of survival in the wild, he will basically know a little, and the adventurer system is not a joke. Even if he didn't, he could immediately upgrade in the system - in fact, Li Huan did just that. Skiing is a sport that requires a lot of professional skills, especially when it comes to judging the path and maintaining balance, which is not something that any rookie can handle casually. But except for Li Huan here, whether it is two girls who have retired from the Russian army, or Li Ang Rodman, they have all received various terrain training, and even Shangguan Qing is not far behind.

"I've participated in the freeride competition in Harbin. Shangguan Qing looked up proudly.

That's the benefit of an elite squad, where everyone has the necessary skills, and no one is going to drag anyone down. In terms of operations, although the large army is good, Li Huan still prefers this kind of elite squad. If it was a large army now, there would be no mobility at all, so it could only watch such a large gentle slope, and then slowly form a long snake formation and face down

Walk. When there are no pursuers behind the buttocks, it is okay to move slowly, but if you change to Li Huan's current situation, their position is exposed, and there is a terrifying existence on the opposite side of the mountain that "maybe" caused the underground glacier to break, if the speed is too slow, no matter which point of these two situations, the final consequences will be devastating.

Since everyone knows how to ski, Li Huan has nothing to say, he instructed everyone to follow their own path, and don't make their own decisions - Li Huan will use the machine to scan the snow cavities in advance to avoid danger to the greatest extent. Originally, the two Russian girls wanted to lead the team, but as soon as Li Huan said this, they thought about Li Huan's magic when dealing with the avalanche, and they didn't say anything at the moment, and silently followed the back of the team.

What is it like to start a downhill from a peak of several thousand meters?

Of course, the steeper the skiing place, the better, the softer the snow, the better, and the wider the view, the better. In fact, the eastern side of the Ural Mountains meets all these needs. Descent down from a hill is a good idea, but fast is not enough. When Li Huan and the six began to slide down the hill, they started at a speed of more than 60 yards. The steep slopes of Mount Ural are completely snowy slopes blown by cold winds for an unknown number of years. This slope has a wide area of sight, making it the perfect place for racing.

But...... In twenty minutes, when everyone had dropped to an altitude of about 3,000 meters, Rodman was the first to shout that he couldn't stand it—this time, it wasn't too dangerous, but it was really unbearable—it was too cold. Rodman was full of confidence at first, and in fact his skiing skills were really good, with textbook-standard movements and postures, and at a glance it was clear that he was not a novice, but an experienced veteran. It's no wonder that the Delta Special Forces came out, if they can't even play skiing, how can they play all-weather assault?

But when the two of them bragged, they never thought about it...... They can indeed play with all-weather assault, but that's when they're fully equipped!

This is the great wilderness of Western Siberia in the Ural Mountains, the place with the harshest natural conditions in the world. Even in the middle of summer, the average daily temperature is only a few degrees above zero, and at night, people can't stand it when they don't wear cotton clothes. When they first started to descend down the mountain, everyone was very happy, even excited, because when everyone was ascending on the western slope, they were so aggrieved that they were about to die of grievance. In addition to a blizzard, there were also avalanches and glacier breaks, which is simply the worst that a person can encounter while climbing a mountain, and there is no one.

Walking in the snow for a long time, especially at high altitudes, is a great test for both ordinary people and cultivators. Even if you exclude the discomfort of physiological factors, you can hardly see any other colors here except the blue of the sky and the white of the snow, which is very, very boring. If like Li Huan and them, one accidentally happened to encounter a snowstorm, it would be even more difficult.

Originally, everyone thought that they should quickly descend and leave this ghost place quickly, and at the current speed of rapid descent, they can leave the high mountains and high-altitude areas in half an hour at most. As soon as the altitude drops and the oxygen level returns to normal, the state of the crowd can quickly recover.

But I didn't expect that in the harsh environment, even skiing has become a luxury.

The reason why the eastern slope is so gentle is because of the cold wind from the Arctic, which is constantly piling up with snow flakes all the time. That is, here is the windward side. When everyone stood still, even at the top of the mountain, they couldn't feel the power of the cold wind that piled up the gentle slope, and when Rodman bragged just now, he even felt that the sun was warm, compared to the harsh environment on the western slope, this warm sun shining on people made people want to squint comfortably.

But as soon as it began to move rapidly, the sun that had just been warm turned into a knife-like north wind, the cold wind that originally blew from the Arctic Circle, coupled with the speed at which everyone fell, the wind pressure rolled forward at a frightening speed, and then almost in a moment, a heavy snow slammed down on the head and face without warning.

It's not snow, it's not snowing here – if you look up, even the weather is still clear, and the blue clouds in the sky are unusually beautiful. But except for Li Huan and Shangguan Qing, they had already experienced heavy snow in the North Pole, and everyone else swore that they had never seen such a large snowflake in their lives. Palm-sized snowflakes? That's really weak, so I'll ask you if you've ever seen snowflakes the size of a human head......

It wasn't snowflakes, it was already snow, snow in the Arctic Circle that had been swept up in the air by the cold wind, and then drifted here along the low-pressure air current...... Now you can understand how this gentle slope is piled up.

A blizzard that occurred hundreds of kilometers away came without warning. The cold wind from the Arctic Circle shared this snowstorm in the Arctic with Li Huan, who was far away in Siberia-luck was too good.

Fortunately, Li Huan and the others have already approached the forest line. When the blizzard fell, Li Huan and his party hid in the forest line, and in the next few minutes, the snow fell down, and the knife-like cold wind rustled the treetops above their heads. In terms of wind speed alone, Li Huan felt that it was no less than the snowstorm they encountered when they were sailing in the Arctic Ocean on an icebreaker. Of course, taken together, this "distant" snowstorm was not as bad as the environment at that time.

"Wait on the spot, this is not a local blizzard, it was brought from the Arctic, it won't last long, there is no need to go forward against the wind and snow. Wait until the wind and snow are over before leaving. It's already at the forest line, so you don't have to be so nervous. ”

These people are also well-informed people, they have been to most places in the world, but they have never seen such a violent snowstorm.

"It's so violent, it's still blowing from hundreds of kilometers away? I can't imagine what that blizzard scene is like!" Rodman, who was tall, shrunk himself into a ball and yelled, "Hell, this damn weather, this damn blizzard! My damn wilderness survival coach! He didn't know there was such a big blizzard in his fucking life, and he taught us that we should crawl on the spot in the event of a blizzard, and if I crawl down, a blizzard, wouldn't we be buried alive?"

Rovisha seemed to have become a pair with Rodman, and she quipped, "Who made you so blind? Seeing that the blizzard is rising, why don't you hurry up and find a place to hide, your wilderness survival coach should be talking about a normal level blizzard, in the face of this, do you want to become a frozen sculpture outside?"

"!" a cloud of snow from the treetops was blown away by the wind and smashed Rodman's head, he slapped the snowflakes on his head and body, "Even in Alaska, I've never seen such a violent snowstorm!"

Li Ang also said: "This damn blizzard is really powerful, I have never seen such a violent blizzard since I was a child." My snow training was in Alaska, and I thought the heavy snow in our Alaskan winter was the scariest, but compared to this, it was just pediatric. By the way, Agatta, have you ever seen a blizzard like this before?"

Agata was flapping the snowflakes on his head, and when he heard Li Ang ask, he nodded and said, "It's very common, but when I was serving in the Black Sea base, I would encounter at least dozens of such snowstorms a year. ”

"Your base is the damn base. Li Ang complained: "No wonder the former Soviet Union defeated the Nazis, everyone said that it was related to the weather." The former Soviet Union was indeed very militarily strong, but now it seems that it ...... The weather really plays a big part of the story!"

Leon is talking about the Soviet-German winter in the defense of Moscow in World War II that determined the direction of the entire Second World War

War.

The winter operation of the German army will first think of the Battle of Moscow, and many people will sigh how terrible the winter in Russia is, and even the brave and warlike German army has been frozen, so it can be said that Germany, a country that pursues land hegemony, has to a large extent folded in winter operations.

On October 6, 1941, the first snow fell in Moscow, almost a month earlier than usual, and it should be noted that this month had a very big impact on the German army, because the German army was unprepared. In mid-to-late October, there were successive autumn rains, which weaved together and made the roads muddy. On November 3, the first cold wave hit Russia, and the temperature in Moscow plummeted below freezing, and in late November, the temperature dropped to -20 degrees Celsius. This is a rare cold, as the average temperature in Moscow in January is -10.2C, making January the coldest month of winter.

The sudden turn for the worse weakened the German onslaught, which was halted by rain, snow and mud in the second and third weeks of October.

By the end of November, due to bad weather, the supply of German supplies for the Typhoon campaign was interrupted, and Army Group South was at a standstill. Of the 500,000 trucks, 30 percent are too damaged beyond repair, another 40 percent are in need of major or complete overhauls, and only 30 percent are still in service. The central cluster needed at least 31 trains a day to deliver supplies to stay afloat, but only 16 trains were actually provided.

The German tanks could not be started at all in the bitter cold, and had to be scraped away with pickaxes to the frozen ground around the vehicles and guns, many of which were damaged and unusable when trying to haul them out of the frozen ground. If you don't wear a cold cover, the vehicle's engine will freeze during driving. When trucks and tanks stop halfway, they must be baked by a fire under the engine to prevent freezing. The liquid in the artillery garrison and auxiliary aircraft was solidified. For the same reason, machine guns and automatic rifles could not be used. The only thing that can be used is mortars. The lenses of the optical sight and telescope appeared blurry and lost their effectiveness. Tracked vehicles without skid will slip on the ice and will not be able to move forward. German tanks had narrow tracks and poor tactical mobility when driving in soft snow. Due to poor diet, consumption of cold food, some people vomit after meals, and some people get stomach problems. The troops were not provided with camouflage overalls and winter clothing. There were many troops who did not even have underwear and sturdy boots. Soldiers should travel in groups of at least two people so that they can observe each other for signs of frostbite. The wounded will die when they fall, not because of the severity of the injury, but because of the shock and frostbite caused by blood loss.

On the 12th, a reconnaissance battalion of the German 25th Infantry Division broke into Khimki on the outskirts of Moscow, and the top of the Kremlin could already be seen through telescopes, but was repulsed the next day by Soviet reinforcements. This was the closest the Germans had ever reached Moscow, and it was their first and last sight of the Kremlin.

By December, when the daytime temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees, most of the German soldiers had not yet been given winter clothing, and the troops were still wearing summer clothes when the cold weather arrived. Only one-tenth of the winter clothes were issued to the division. The German army's transportation lines were in a bottleneck state, and the supplies that could not be met were already unsatisfied, because of the needs of the battle, guns, ammunition, and food were sent to the front line in priority over winter clothing. As a result, tens of thousands of German officers and soldiers were frozen to cripples, and it was difficult for those who did not suffer severe frostbite to maintain any combat effectiveness. As a direct consequence of the lack of supplies, horses were slaughtered in large numbers to feed their hunger, and the lack of horses made it impossible to pull away all the artillery that required 14 horses to pull...... This vicious circle continued, and the German army had neither food, weapons and ammunition, nor the necessary items to protect them from the cold, and finally they were dragged down on the outskirts of Moscow.

Moreover, in this battle, a famous military base was also fought - Fort St. Hays Military Base.

This military base is known as the northernmost military base in the world.

This blizzard came and went as fast as it came, and soon, this blizzard from the North Pole was over. When the blizzard mixed with snow from the Arctic passed, the weather cleared. Looking up from below, you can see the endless blue sky, and the blizzard just now buried half of the bodies of several people, but it didn't cause any damage, which has to be said that Li Huan judged in time to let everyone enter the forest line in time to escape. If you encounter this storm outside, it's really hard to say, and the blizzard on the western slope, who will be worse as a result.

After the snowstorm passed, everyone climbed out of the snow and slapped the snow flakes off their bodies. From here, it was the two Russian girls who led the way - Luo Weisha turned on the GPS again, determined her position, and then turned her head and said to Li Huan: "The boss is five kilometers ahead, and you can see a small village, which is the handover position of the dog sledding we agreed." ”

"Okay, while the weather is good now, let's hurry up and cross this forest line and be safe. Li Huan nodded.

After speaking, everyone set off and started to act, because there had just been a blizzard in the forest line, so the snow was very soft, and everyone could drown their knees with every step on it, but fortunately, the altitude here is not high, and the amount of oxygen consumed is not large compared to the physique of several people, so a few people can still keep up with Li Huan's speed. As long as they do not move at high altitudes, the physique of the cultivator will immediately manifest itself. Even if it does not consume aura, the body that has been transformed by aura, can tenaciously adapt to this harsh environment. Trekking five kilometers in the snow seemed to many people to be a very difficult thing, but under the leadership of Li Huan, everyone followed his footsteps step by step, and soon got out of the forest line.

About a kilometer or so outside the tree line, you can clearly see that there are more than a dozen houses surrounded by a fence, and there are several small houses, still smoking from the cooking. This is a typical Siberian village, as is the case in Siberian villages, with a low degree of agglomeration, about a dozen families gathered together, usually hunting for a living, and their life is closer to gathering.

There is no way to gather large cities in Siberia. Because the climate here is so harsh, if you want to gather a large city, you must consume a lot of various supplies in the city. According to the Siberian environment, it is already difficult to transport these supplies - so whether it is the former Soviet Union or the current Russia, most of the cities are distributed in warmer places, and the vast Siberian Plain is almost a no-man's land, and only people like Rovisha and Agata who have been exposed to specialized military training and are familiar with the terrain of this area can find the places where these villages gather.

"That's the front!" the two Russian girls breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the village.

The group soon arrived in the village, and the two girls, Rovisha and Agata, were very familiar with the place, and when they entered the village, they were almost not polite, and they were welcomed into the largest room in the village. The so-called largest room is about 100 square meters. The houses in this village are all built on site from nearby timber. When Li Huan came in, he took a special look, the architecture of this village is very distinctive, it is a typical national wisdom, and it is made of local materials. The wood is a native, particularly straight maple tree, which is used to build the walls of houses after cutting off trunks of the same thickness and size. In order to prevent the wind from coming in, fur was pasted on the inside of the room, and Li Huan looked at it carefully, it seemed to be the fur of a reindeer. And between the fur and the wood, there is also a layer of hay, which acts as a filling, and in this way, a simple insulation layer is formed. In the room, there is a high stove similar to the Northeast ondol, on top of the stove is a large cauldron, boiling fragrant food, and above the pot is a chimney, and the heat generated by the fire in the room is not wasted at all.
