The team set out in full gear, and among all the patrols, star fruit was considered the smallest warrior, or could not be called a warrior at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info She wears a cotton hat and a padded jacket that looks a little bloated, and the weight on her body is a bit heavy for a child.

Five tall and tall Russian soldiers were the main force carrying the baggage, they carried large bags, AK74S on their backs, and two fighters also carried SVD sniper rifles.

Da Ming carried a pair of them and even a bayonet, and he was dressed more like a soldier than a businessman.

The team had already planned the route before setting off, and this trip would be to spend the night in an abandoned castle, and if nothing else, they would spend the night there or two and return. It's 10 kilometers in a straight line, but it's twice as far as it's a mountain road.

With the extension of walking time, star fruit feels more and more that there is an emergency in physical strength, after all, it is still a child. "Take a break! Have we been walking for an hour? She was exhausted and panting, and there was no way up the hill with only grass at all, and her weight was really tiring.

Kalinin looked at his watch and then at the little girl who was panting. "Well, our mission is to get to the abandoned castle before dark. We can fix it here for a while. ”

Star fruit sat on the grass with a heavy load, with a cold wind in her ears, but she felt very comfortable, she was really embarrassed by the heat. Winter in Tuva is cool, and sitting on a hillside and holding up a telescope can see far away from the starting point, where the restoration of the oil camp is still underway.

Da Ming saw his sister holding VSK's telescope and looking into the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, he opened his backpack and opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to his sister. "Drink, you must be sweating a lot, and I'll carry a heavy load when you set off in a while."

Carambola put down the binoculars and drank water beautifully, at this moment she was full of emotion, this water is very cold. "Brother, how hot is it now?"

"It's minus five degrees, and when the sun rises in a while, it may break through freezing." Kostya, who eats dried meat, interjected.

Russia and Siberia have extremely cold winters, so adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts here tend to eat greasy food, and the Nenets in the far north even eat raw seal or whale fat.

Apparently Sonia and her classmates are of a good nature, and this time it was a very special hunt, and all the search teams were licensed, and once they found those bandits, they could shoot them without asking for it.

Kalinin chewed dried meat and walked over to the siblings, who were full of curiosity about the two children.

"Do you know that what you are doing is very dangerous now, and that an encounter may happen suddenly, and that you two Chinese children will be scared when they hear the gunshots? You'd better go back to the oil camp, it's too late to go. ”

"No thanks, thank you for your kindness. I had military training, and my sister's was a soldier's child. Don't look at us like this, it's not the first time we've hunted with guns. Da Ming smiled.

Kostya hurriedly coughed twice, and Chu Hua also remembered what happened last year, so he hurriedly talked to Kalinin. The soldiers seem to have a common language, Chu Hua participated in the counterattack against Vietnam when he was eighteen years old, although he did not have a particularly tragic battle with the Vietnamese army, but he can remember the things in the cat's ear hole vividly. War often brings bloody killings, but Chu Hua seems that war will force a good person into a sick seedling.

Speaking of war Russians are the most qualified, Kostya talks about his father who died in Afghanistan, while Kalinin recalls purgatory in Grozny, and there are places in the mountains of Tuva that resemble Grozny. "It's not the Caucasus Mountains, but it's as cold as it gets, and you can see it with a telescope in this place."

"But are these patrols really useful?" Da Ming asked suddenly. His reason is also very reasonable, he has been searching for many days, but only found the vehicle of the suspected bandits, which is still a few hundred kilometers from the Altai Republic, are these bandits Superman? If they had escaped, they would have traveled hundreds of kilometers, but the base camp had hit the search area within a radius of fifty kilometers.

"I don't know if patrols are useful, but there is a little bit of bandits that can't be put aside." Kalinin pointed to the bottle of mineral water in the hand of the star fruit and said, "The state of the land here proves a lot, there has been no rain here for a while, and it is very dry here." We have been informed that the bandits fled without enough water, and that they would flee along the place where there was a stream, and to the west they would have to climb over a higher mountain with no stream. ”

Da Ming suddenly realized, he hurriedly looked at the map in Kalinin's hand, and the team arrived at the ruined castle, which had a bird's-eye view of the distant stream. One can go without food but without water, and the march combined with the dry cold will cause the loss of water to be very fast. Perhaps the bandits are hiding, they already know that the army is in full swing.

After resting for a while, the team continued to advance, and the star fruit still handed the backpack to Daming in a realistic need.

Only Yang Mingzhi himself knows whether he is heavy or not, he is not a professional soldier, and his young age is just stronger than his peers. Chu Hua had more things on his back, and he couldn't give Da Ming more help to this, so he could only use words to encourage him. What do you think about carrying ammunition boxes back then, and marching in a hurry with four zeros on your back. "Our Chinese light infantry is the first in the world, and I think that the Eighth Army cut off the rear road of the US army in one day and night in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese soldiers are even more on a 25,000-mile long march with a pair of feet."

Da Ming smiled bitterly, as long as his sister is relaxed, there will be no problem, but there are new troubles. Children are children after all, and children, including Sonya, are complaining about sore legs, but in the end, Chu Hua solved this problem with high tricks. The children's calves are bandaged, which effectively curbs the varicose veins in the calves.

Kalinin smiled slightly, he knew that this was the old way of the Chinese, but there was no such habit in Russia.

According to the schedule, the target will be reached at noon at the earliest, it is a mountain bag, and the telescope can already see the ruins. "Come on comrades, we can fix it when we get to the castle, and the next thing is to monitor." Kalinin's words were uplifting, and the exhausted star fruit saw hope.

After the trek finally arrived at the castle at one o'clock in the afternoon, the children sat on the stones in agony. "Hunting is not so tiring, is it because we are walking on a flat road?" Sonia grumbled, and she took off her head and wore only her sweater. Russians develop early and fast, and the two mountains on her chest have to stimulate the instinct of a Ming man, and her eyes glance over there from time to time.

But Sonia and Kostya are lovers, so they don't need to be bothered if they are closer together this time. Because the real need to care about is star fruit, and the cute sister is complaining of sore feet.

This trip was nearly 20 kilometers, and the whole team didn't have much rest for speed. "I'm so strong, you go fast so I can't be a burden to you, I'm really a schoolboy with excellent physical strength." Carambola smiled reluctantly, now she would like to get some sleep if conditions allow.

Lunch was settled on the spot, and everyone ate dry food. The ruined castle is surrounded by dead shrubs, as well as some cedar and beech.

"It doesn't look like the weather is very good, there are too many dark clouds in the sky, maybe there will be snow in the next few days." Chu Hua, who set up the tent, said to himself, even if it turns back now, it will take a long time, and it is best not to snow.

The Russian soldiers have set up sniper positions and radio stations here in accordance with military custom, and they have begun to contact the base camp. No one said that the children were lazy, their eldest was Yang Mingzhi, and it was already very good for a 14-year-old child to follow the field army with a loaded gun, and the heavy responsibility of building the barracks fell on the shoulders of adults.

Star fruit is housed in a stone chamber, the gravel on the ground has just been cleared, and the broken wall here is the best haven. Kalinin said that the castle was a camp for early Russian explorers, or even a settlement, that may have been abandoned as a result of the war with the Mongols.

The two warriors got the job done, and they found a cross that was broken and partly made of stone, perhaps the location of which turned out to be an Orthodox Christian. "Hey! Come and see, there are still words on this cross! ”

Da Ming pulled up his sister who wanted to get into the sleeping bag and gathered around the cross. October 10, 1836, Orlandnev City, forever remembered...... The stone carvings in the back have been blurred. "It seems that there was a war here, perhaps a war between Russian explorers and the Mongols." The Ming shrugged, Tangnu Ulianghai was originally a Chinese territory, and it became a Russian territory due to historical factors, but at present, the Republic of Tuva is a very autonomous republic.

"Finished? I don't bother to think about ancient wars, and I really want to rest now. Star fruit grumbled.

"You children go and rest for a while, you'd better sleep for an afternoon, we still have to carry out surveillance missions, and in the first half of the night your children will be in charge."

Listening to Kalinin's greeting, the five children laid a shack in the abandoned stone room. There is no need to talk about the sharing of beds here, the brother and sister squeezed into the same sleeping bag and hugged each other to sleep.
