Chapter 0300: Closing the Mountain
Xue Lang really didn't judge wrong, he just returned home and just let his grandfather keep the trap box and other items temporarily, and the wind began to pick up outside.
The cold snap came after the eighth grandfather removed the sutures for him and applied the medicine.
In the mountains and forests, the temperature plummeted, in the cold wind, staying outside for more than ten or twenty minutes, the face was covered with frost flowers, and the temperature plummeted by about 30 degrees, reaching the lowest temperature in winter in recent years.
Xue Lang didn't rest, put on his outfit and rushed to the barracks, taking all the team members who had already gotten up for morning exercises, and went straight to the mountains.
Cold, one of the most important subjects of training, strong winds, smoke cannons, is also the key to survival in the snow wilderness.
It's about keeping warm, keeping warm, surviving, and fighting.
Although the team members have been living in the snow kiln, the temperature of that meeting is only minus 223 degrees, and the lowest temperature in the early morning is only 267 degrees.
But fortunately, the acclimatization training still has an effect after all, otherwise who else will be able to take a step forward and do all kinds of standard military maneuvers in the cold?
Xue Lang led the team to take a short break and regain their body temperature while walking, and went straight to Lalagui, forty kilometers away, a place where it was difficult to find direction without the sun.
There, inaccessible, is already a primeval forest, and forty or fifty kilometers further on, there is Huaqizi, which is also the northern primeval forest that has not been developed in the country at present. Although Lalagui is also a primeval forest, there are people who enter here, such as Xue Lang and other experienced people who live in the mountains, including former hunters.
Cheng Weiguo also followed the team, and when he arrived at Lalagui four hours later, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
Here, standing on the top of the mountain and looking through a telescope, although it is windy, the visibility is not very affected. What he saw made him admire.
Here, it's white, like a huge basin. The ridges stretch like large snakes to the valley floor, dividing the valley floor into countless pieces.
Seeing that the surrounding terrain was almost the same, Cheng Weiguo asked suspiciously: "Brother, will you get lost here?" ”
"Yes."
Xue Lang wiped the frost on his face and said: "No matter winter or summer here, as long as there is no sunlight, people who are not familiar with this place will lose their direction after coming in, even if they have some ability to identify the direction in the mountains and forests, they will get lost, especially in rainy and snowy days, they will not be able to walk out when they turn around, and finally starve to death and die of exhaustion, or be scared to death." ”
"Can you still be scared to death?"
Cheng Weiguo didn't believe it.
Xue Lang let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, when a person's judgment is subverted by reality, thinking that he has been lost, and when he walks through the places where he has made marks, the weak-willed will collapse and scare himself to death." ”
"Oh yes......"
Cheng Weiguo still doesn't believe it, at least he won't be scared to death.
Xue Lang pointed to the valley below and said: "This is a strange terrain, the slope is very gentle, surrounded by mountain peaks, a total of sixteen ridges extend to the bottom of the valley, when there is no sunlight, we can't see where we are standing below, there is no direction, it will turn around." ”
Cheng Weiguo raised the telescope and looked at it again and said, "Then can't you just walk along the ridge?" ”
Xue Lang smiled, pointed to the nearby ridge and said: "Brother Cheng, do you see that the ridge is constantly undulating, there are also peaks, from a distance it is a line, this line can be six or seven kilometers away, walking and walking you will find that it is downhill, downhill, and it turns to the bottom of the valley." ”
"It's really ......"
Cheng Weiguo will understand why he got lost, here, the terrain is almost the same everywhere, walking along the mountain, walking down the mountain, the farther and farther, isn't it back to the bottom?
Great place!
Secretly praised it, and understood why Xue Lang brought everyone here. You don't have a tent, once you scrape the smoke cannon here, it will take a few days to leave, and when the time comes, it will all depend on experience to survive here, isn't that the fastest way to improve?
Then they went down the mountain, into the woods, into the valley floor, in the plains of Noda, looking for a place to stay, and in the afternoon, in a leeward position, set up a small area of communication equipment, that is, their headset relay equipment. But they can't get in touch with home, except for satellite phones.
The wind, however, did not increase here, it was still six or seven levels, and the snow particles were still like that, not much rolled up in the air, but still rolling on the snow. The temperature was obscured by the snow particles drifting in the sky as the sun set in the west, and the temperature became lower and lower, and when Xue Lang and the others built thatched huts and used snow to form simple snow kilns, the temperature dropped by one degree at the lowest.
This night, everyone felt the cold, and in the thatched hut that was still warm, although the charcoal fire was made of rotten wood cages, it was still difficult for everyone to sleep.
At dawn the next day, the sky was no longer sunny, gray, and I don't know if it was clouds or snow that was swept up to the sky.
However, the wind is not so strong, only three or four levels; The temperature is not as cold as yesterday, it is estimated that it will be 30 degrees at most, maybe it will not be enough.
The team members were full of energy, they were wearing electronic countermeasures equipment, carrying the necessary marching equipment, and carrying some equipment carried by 30 logistics soldiers, and they were divided into two teams in the gentle cold wind.
Xue Lang did not participate, and although his injury recovered, it was not suitable for strenuous exercise. When the two teams left and rushed to the predetermined place of confrontation, he was in the thatched hut to review the dragon palm that could be practiced.
He vaguely felt that even if he returned secretly and rushed to the mountains quickly, if Cui Guangyi paid attention to him and found that Donghai couldn't do anything, then he would choose to kill him here where he couldn't be controlled.
After all, there is no way to hide a large number of forces here, even if the heavy snow does not close the mountain, there are still traces in the snow, which is not conducive to the survival of large troops, and it will not be besieged by light.
Therefore, he had to do his best to deal with a possible attack.
The time of this day has passed.
The confrontation between the two sides ended when the second batch of supplies arrived.
It was the first time for everyone to fight with real guns in the snow, and the environment here was extremely similar everywhere, so it was quite difficult to encircle and intercept, and it was difficult to form a superior force confrontation.
Under the premise that there were no infrared telescopes, the casualties on both sides were very large, and even Zhang Ming was "hung up" and hung up in the snipers lurking on the other side.
This confrontation made everyone understand that fighting in the snow is not only about military literacy, but also about concealment and lurking attacks.
Tracking, anti-tracking is the core.
Xue Lang did not participate in the summary, this kind of training, they need to understand it themselves, the theory, some of the skills of the hunter have already been taught to them, this will be the time for verification.
The next day, the sky was even more gloomy, apparently not due to snow rolling up into the sky, but cloudy. And the temperature actually rose to minus 25 degrees, which was not three degrees or two degrees worse than the day before yesterday.
On the second day of training, they traveled again to a new location with no footprints, and started a new round of confrontation.
This time, the two sides no longer meet, they are all in the forest, leaving traps in the snow, tracking, cleaning traces, anti-tracking, the two sides are fighting, one by one, carelessly, I don't know where a bullet flies, "glorious".
On this day, everyone made full use of the hunter's skills, including walking on the trees, erasing the traces on the snow, turning around and setting up ambushes, and even using the dirt methods used for hunting.
Of course, the wooden thorns are not pointed, but they are tied to the signal transmitter, and once they are "pierced" on the body, the cigarette case will smoke, and the person will naturally hang up.
On this day, there were not many gunshots, but the number of deaths was still quite large, and there was nothing to win or lose on both sides, but the battlefield was full of "corpses".
However, due to the expansion of the battlefield, more than a dozen team members got lost, and if it weren't for the positioning system and headsets, they would really have been looking for a while. Even if there are footprints in the snow, but the footprints everywhere on the battlefield, after the personnel begin to retreat, where do they go to find the direction of the footprints?
This time, everyone no longer doubts that they can get lost here, because Cheng Weiguo is among these people, and he can't judge the direction he came from and find the location of the nest when he hasn't turned on the positioning system.
They had just returned, and the sky was still dark, when the wind gradually stopped, and then, a large snowflake fell in the sky.
The second heavy snow of winter came.
That night, they slept comfortably, because it was warm in the thatched hut, warm enough to sleep in shirts and pants. The temperature of the earth fire dragon that has been dried thoroughly and can burn the fire is already comparable to the fire kang at home, and there is no concept of cold at all.
As the old saying goes, when the door closes, the next night, and the snow is the same, it also rains overnight, and it is heavier than the first one.
When they woke up the next day, Xue Lang and the others had to get out because the small door was buried in the snow.
The snow still hasn't stopped, and the training hasn't stopped, which tests the team's ability to track and counter-track, and the confrontation is more intense.
They didn't stop training here, but there weren't many people who entered the mountain, thinking that the snow was more than half a meter deep, and the mountain was completely closed.
Outside the mountains, heavy snow fell overnight, and it completely covered the land that was still exposed with black soil, covered all the weeds, covered the messy and dirty, and everywhere was snow-white.
On the roof of the house, a thick snow hat is put on, and the street is walked without cars. Only the national highway car has not been broken, and this will not be blocked. However, with a gust of wind, the national highway will be filled in and traffic will be cut off.
This will be the time when the place has really entered the long winter and entered the leisurely time of playing mahjong and drinking.
However, many factories are still operating, including Xue Lang's rice factory, which is also roaring and has not stopped production due to heavy snowfall.
