Chapter 62
The feeling of returning home is really exciting.
In the past, when I went out and pinched people and came back, the whole person's feeling was still immersed in the aftertaste of the pinch, so the feeling was not very strong. It was a thrilling wandering out and it didn't take a few days, and when the plane crossed the border and the pilot told us that we were now flying in Chinese airspace, our brothers couldn't help but cheer.
Looking down from the porthole, the snow-capped mountains and the frozen rivers that wind between the lofty mountains are intimate. Especially when I saw those matchbox-like small town houses under the portholes, I felt even more eager to go home.
I'm beginning to understand what it's like for those soldiers who have been fighting abroad for many years to return to their hometowns and kneel down and kiss their homeland when they set foot on the soil of their homeland.
That's really an impulse that springs up from the bones, and you can't stop it......
Winter training is a very important link for a unit like ours that specializes in fighting on the plateau and Gobi.
Winter on the plateau is almost the death of all living beings. In the past, the small animals that were active in the Gobi Desert stored enough fat and food for the winter early on, and stayed in sheltered burrows and did not come out.
And those stubborn plants have lost all their leaves, leaving only the shriveled branches shivering in the cold wind.
But at such a time, we have to go to the Gobi Desert, which is covered with ice and snow, and practice hard.
In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, there have been countless examples of taking advantage of bad weather to carry out surprise raids and make meritorious contributions in one fell swoop. Especially a unit like ours, which is specifically fighting in a dangerous situation, and even the cold ice and snow that God has rained down, so it's embarrassing to say what kind of special forces they are?
The centaurs were ready to stop, and we flew into the icy Gobi.
Maybe God is not happy with our arrogance, right?
On the first day we entered the Gobi Desert, a snowstorm inadvertently hit us.
I remember that at that time, in the face of a large ball of snowflakes that can suffocate people to death, the instructor standing in the wind holding a gun in his left hand and a cup in his right hand laughed wildly in the style of a classical warrior.
If someone can read an interesting idea and stand behind the instructor and say--why is the general laughing?
I estimate that even Cao Mengde would not have the instructor's free and majestic style back then!
Soon, we were so happy to know what the instructor was doing.
In the international special forces team, there are those who can fight continuously in the ice and snow and even conduct non-logistics operations, and it is estimated that the Finnish military master is a relatively good person.
The Finnish Army's Special Independent Light Cavalry Regiment, the predecessor of this unit was almost a special force formed in World War II to fight the former Soviet military masters, but there was no concept at that time.
In this unit, all of them are fierce men selected from various branches of the Finnish military, especially good at winter snow warfare.
With a day's **** effort, these sub-military masters can brave a snowstorm and go out for 80 kilometers with just a pair of sleds. Moreover, these Finnish military masters are also good at parachuting, and in the case of separation of personnel and weapons in winter, they can find weapons buried in the snow in a short time and then continue to fight people.
As early as the Soviet-Finnish War, the elusive attack mode of the Finnish military master made the military masters of the former Soviet Union suffer enough. Not to mention anything else, hundreds of field kitchens alone were destroyed, and those former Soviet military masters could only temporarily light fires in the camps to keep warm and cook.
But the Finnish military masters are also masters of playing in the snow, taking advantage of the darkness and moving quickly, maybe the former Soviet military master was about to roast the fire and eat a hot meal, next to a white shadow slid over the sled, and the grenade in his hand was unceremoniously thrown into the fire.
This mode of operation, which is simple and effective, and can delay the actions of the opponent's large corps with very few troops, is naturally an example that we need to follow.
But it also requires the high quality of the combatants!
Looking at such a big snowstorm, the instructor was happy......
I can finally practice this group of ** hairs well!
But we're a little sad.
Three days of field rations, sleds and other gadgets plus a full set of equipment, and a forced march in the snow for five days, plus dispersion, assembly attacks, and some strange items, it all sounds like a big head!
So when the instructor kicked us off the sleigh one by one, the feeling of burning on the butt was in stark contrast to the colder and colder taste in our hearts.
The snowy fields threw us down without even a reference. Even though we all had gadgets like life-saving bombs and some people from the observation team following us from afar, we couldn't make sure that something happened to us, so this would be really troublesome......
Paddled along a gentle slope, I mentally calculated how far I would have to go in the next few days, and what speed should it be?
Brothers who have skied sleds, especially long sleds, should know that this sled is not as easy as it looks like in the TV movies. Although it can save a little bit of effort when sliding downhill, it also requires a lot of idea skills when it is flat and uphill.
After an hour or two, the arms and thighs can be a little sore, and after a few days of continuous sliding, it is estimated that the person will almost be exhausted and disabled.
Relatively speaking, the most troublesome thing for me is the distance I have to travel.
According to the previous regulations, we had to cover the nearly 450 kilometers in five days, and we were to attack a warehouse of supplies with defenders on the way. In other words, we don't have time to sleep at all, we can only keep walking.
This one tastes a little torturous.
Not far behind me was the observation team's sleigh, but I can guarantee that none of my brothers would quit and sit in the air-conditioned observation car, which had a hot meal.
We can be regarded as the elite of the military masters, right?
I can't afford to lose that person!
The first day passed quickly, and although there was a time on the way when I felt weak and wanted to sit down and rest, after breaking through the hardest stage, I felt like I was able to slide for a few more days and nights.
I know that's where the excitement phase of sports comes in. In terms of our physical fitness, this time period can be four hours, followed by fatigue and excitement again.
I had to rush as much as I could during this exciting time of sports.
Otherwise, I would have been thrown into that sleigh by my brothers in the observation group with a loss of strength......
