Chapter 0245: Bear Tracks
Xue Lang glanced at Cheng Weiguo, who was leaving in a hurry, and didn't know what special call he would make from No. 01, who had temporarily ignored the affairs of the army and was concentrating on this training base.
Pressing Xue Lang's doubts, Cheng Weiguo rushed to the command headquarters, only to know that it was a satellite phone, not a mobile phone.
After he identified himself, he stood straight and listened quietly.
In the middle of the ring, he stood up and replied in a formal manner: "Yes, I'll set off immediately!" ”
Ending the call, Cheng Weiguo stood there and thought for a few seconds before turning around and leaving the headquarters.
At this time, Xue Lang had already finished his final story, and told everyone present that tomorrow, he would enter the black wind outlet with a full suit, and he would not leave there for two months, and those who needed to write letters and make phone calls home would do so tonight, and the external phone would be opened all night.
These are old birds, knowing what the instructor means, they are going to train in a closed field for two months, so, after receiving the order to disband, they dispersed one after another, began to write letters, lined up on ten phones, and called home.
After the crowd dispersed, Cheng Weiguo walked to Xue Lang, who was about to return to the mountain village and look at his grandfather, and said, "Brother, I'm going to leave for a while, you have to worry more here." ”
Xue Lang was curious about what his task was, and asked casually, "Why are you going?" Back to the troops? ”
Cheng Weiguo shook his head and pointed in the direction of the north and said, "No, something is wrong with the border post, I'll take a look." ”
"Border?"
Xue Lang's heart tightened.
There is a border conflict next to the polar bear, all these years have been peaceful, and the two sides are also strategic partners, how can there be a border conflict?
Cheng Weiguo didn't hide it, this is not a military secret for Xue Lang. He looked at the distant mountains swallowed by the night, and said: "The 4276 post found footprints that crossed the border, just four hours ago, but the other party did not leave the border......"
It turned out that a guard post somewhere was on a routine patrol in the snow and found a person's footprints that had crossed the border. So I followed the footprints in the hope of finding the direction from which I came, so as to judge the identity and intention of the other party.
After an hour of tracking, the footprints disappeared in a red pine forest, and the direction from which they came was nowhere to be found. Although the snow in the woods is not thick, there should be footprints, but there are no footprints to be found, and they have disappeared out of thin air.
They had just searched a few tens of meters around, and when they had not found the footprints, the patrol found the same footprints two kilometers away from the exit location, and they entered the country.
Sensing that this was unusual, the post called for reinforcements, and an hour earlier, two companies of troops had launched a search for that area, which was no man's land, and after a search, they still did not find any trace of the people who crossed the border back and forth, but they lost four military dogs, all of whom were killed by the thunderbolts, and five soldiers were wounded.
Cheng Weiguo belongs to the special forces, although this is the training stage, but he is still transferred to reinforcements, and special forces are also mobilized in other places to rush to the area.
"The other party is walking on the tree!"
Xue Lang immediately made a judgment.
This is one of the ways to eliminate footprints in winter, that is, in the pine forest, the use of trees between the interval is only a few meters or more than ten meters, the branches are intertwined with each other, from the position of the canopy to the branch to another tree, to avoid leaving footprints on the ground, generally after leaving the footprint one or two hundred meters, will find a place to hide or escape, so that the clues are interrupted, so that the search is deadlocked.
As for how to go up the tree without being discovered, Xue Lang had many methods, such as using a grappling hook to throw the trees that he had chosen while traveling, and then swinging up leisurely, going out twenty or thirty meters at once, and then climbing the trees in the distance, so that the footprints disappeared out of thin air.
"Walking in the trees?"
Cheng Weiguo was very strange, he really didn't know how to walk on the tree.
Xue Lang explained to him briefly, and then said: "This is a veteran, you should be more careful when you go." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Cheng Weiguo to speak, he added: "If the other party doesn't leave there, something must happen there, and the analysis of explosives must be done to find out which force's weapon it is, so as to judge the other party's intentions." ”
"Well, don't worry brother, if you want my Lao Cheng's life, then he must also have this ability!"
After Cheng Weiguo finished speaking, he said as he walked towards the barracks: "Brother, you should hurry up training here, this kind of knowledge in the snow is really needed in the army." ”
Xue Lang stood still and replied: "Don't worry, Brother Cheng, I'll do snow tracking and hidden training first." ”
Cheng Weiguo didn't reply again, quickly entered the camp, and then left the camp with four soldiers who had been following him and left the mountain.
Xue Lang didn't pay much attention to this, at the border, there are countless incidents of this kind every year, blocked and unblocked, and it is not a new thing.
Turning the day, the sky was just dawning, all the old birds and rookies gathered in the playground, everyone was dressed the same, snow-white clothes and pants, snow-white cloaks, snow-white neck covers, and even guns were wrapped in snow-white camouflage cloth, standing on the playground that had not cleared the snow, except for the different colors of the eyes and the few faces that leaked, I really couldn't tell that there were a large number of people standing here.
Everyone was carrying a backpack and skis on their backs, and they were all dressed in snow.
With the order, these people began the most arduous trek to the Black Wind Pass.
The reason why I say that it is hard, the snow is very soft, and it is okay to hike, and it will not be too strenuous because after all, it is not thick, and it is only one or twenty centimeters, but wearing skis is not to reduce resistance, but to burden.
Everyone began to sweat after ten minutes, and they also understood why the instructor only asked everyone to wear autumn clothes and pants, and not sweaters, and they all carried them. If the feelings were dressed, they would have sweated profusely.
The standard weight, with an extra leather mattress used before, weighs only 20 kilograms, but just like that, more than ten kilometers, it still makes everyone feel more tired than carrying a weight of 40 kilograms.
Xue Lang and Lao Niao, as well as the selected ones are still like that, they are all double-loaded, all with high-precision snipers, and with 95 assault steps.
They are in front, and they don't need to shout too much, and these guys behind don't dare to slack off.
Everyone also knows that if they are pulled down too far, then they will be punished when they get to the place, not to mention the lack of face, and the physical effort will also affect the next training, and the guide will be punished if they are not qualified.
The team moved silently, except for the sound of skis coming into contact with the soft snow, and then the sound of wheezing, like a troop about to sneak attack, silently navigating through the jungle snow.
After a difficult trek, I finally saw the Black Wind Mouth, that is, it was no more than five kilometers away from the campsite.
Just when everyone had the intention of relaxing, the direction of travel deviated from the black wind outlet with the change of the head, and left the direction of the black wind outlet along the ridge.
What the......
All the people behind don't understand what this is for, obviously a big downhill into the black tuyere, why do you turn?
Soon, they knew, and within an hour, the team had reached the top of the hill on the back where the Hadron was, and then the first team gave the order to take off the skateboard and go down from here into the camp.
From here......
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
The steepness here, some places are greater than 60 degrees, and the slowest place is also greater than 50 degrees, and it is difficult to come up.
But the order was of course unquestionable for them, so they straightened up their skateboards behind their backs and climbed down the line of the previous down.
Fortunately, these are not rookies, even if their feet slip, they are at most the top of the list, and there is no danger.
When they got to the bottom, there were few people whose faces were not scratched by the branches, and most of them were bloody, and they were left behind by the branches and shrubs that were drawn in.
Xue Lang waited for the last person to come down cautiously, and then said: "In the future, the black wind mouth will go from here until the heavy snow covers the mountain!" ”
Yes?!
Although everyone did not squint, their hearts were beating. Walking in such a steep position every day, if you don't care about it, you will roll down accidentally, as long as you roll down, there is not much hope of living.
They have all thought that this is a way for the instructor to torture them, in fact, how do they know that the wild boars in this black wind mouth have not yet been stationed, this snow is the first snow, and it is not a mountain closure, even if it is thicker, it can still easily find food under the snow, so the wild boar herd has not returned to the file grass pond.
If the pigs found too many human footprints and felt unsafe inside, they might have to move the place, so before the wild boar came in, Xue Lang would not go through the black wind again.
After the trek all the way, the rookie old bird didn't have time to catch his breath, and after Xue Lang finished speaking, he then ordered: "Everyone has it!" ”
The guys who were thinking about it in their minds heard the password, one stood upright, and they didn't know whether to enter the warm and lively ground hadron burned by the personnel on duty, or what they were doing.
Xue Lang glanced around, and then ordered: "Now, everyone go back the same way, after arriving at the top of the mountain, follow the red cloth on the trees for ten kilometers off-road, and after reaching the target, go to the No. 1 area to hide, who is found by the soldiers there with binoculars, and the training task is doubled!" ”
Although everyone didn't look back, they muttered in their hearts.
What the hell is this special toss people, isn't it?
But who dares to have an idea? At the moment when the team moved, they all hurriedly followed, and before they even observed the environment in the black wind outlet, they climbed up from the position they had just come down.
Shooting, the level of these people is not low, Xue Lang also suspended the shooting training, to speed up the ability training to survive in the wild, so that the content of yesterday's cultural class can be absorbed by them, combined with actual combat, training can also be fast.
Including the old birds, as well as the snow wolf elite squad, they all thought that with a snow-white cloak, snow-white clothes and pants could avoid long-distance search.
Who knows, when they ran ten kilometers, rushed to a flat ditch, entered the area of their team, and carefully hid themselves in the snow, the search began in the headset, and the moment more than a dozen soldiers emerged from the opposite mountain, the news of the annihilation of the team came from the headset.
In less than half an hour, only the instructor and his team were left unfounded, and even the guys who stood up in frustration did not find their traces with binoculars.
They didn't get into the designated location?
Everyone was confused, even the captains who led the team were very puzzled, looking at the position that should belong to the instructor three or four hundred meters away, and didn't know if not entering the designated area was cheating. There's no sign of them.
Everyone stood in the snow, using binoculars to follow the trail, but at the end of the trail there was a lone branch, indicating that the team had arrived at the location and removed the sign from the branch. But around, there are no traces of lying on their stomachs, and there are no footprints extending elsewhere.
Where have the people gone......
They didn't have an order, so they couldn't move around, so they just stood and let their body pass by. Even though I wore a sweater and pants and stopped exercising, I still felt cold.
Half an hour later, Xue Lang's voice suddenly sounded in the headset: "Everyone gather, kick halfway up the mountain, facing the direction of 7 o'clock!" ”
"Yes!"
With a roar of tigers, everyone quickly ran to the mountainside opposite the lurking ground, and in just a few minutes, they were halfway up the mountainside and stood facing the bottom of the mountain. At the top of the hill behind, more than a dozen warriors also stood up, raised flags, and revealed their figures.
At the moment when everyone was standing, Xue Lang's voice sounded again: "Team 01 gathers!" ”
With his order, the lurking place that originally belonged to the squad led by the instructor suddenly stood up a figure, facing them, standing straight.
Yes?!
Everyone was stupid. It's a bit farther away, but you can still see the people there without a telescope. Previously, they had searched carefully, and they searched with a close-range telescope, but they found no trace of these two dozen people, except for a footprint that went straight to the marker.
The most important thing is that the footprint is walked by one person, the stride length is clearly recognizable, and the team has not entered, where did they come from?
At the moment when they were puzzled, Xue Lang ordered again: "Team 01 advances thirty meters and hides on the spot!" ”
"Yes!"
With a tiger roar, the white figures who were standing moved, quickly lined up, and after steadily advancing for dozens of meters, they followed, and pounced, and the action was like a dead thing, lying straight to the left and right.
Seeing this, the rookies watching understood that their feelings were hidden less than one meter on both sides of the footprint.
Then, the white shadow at the head retreated back, slowly, every time he walked in front of a foot, he cooperated with the person who fell down to sort out the traces, covered the cloak, and let the person completely disappear on the snow.
In less than five minutes, the traces were still faintly visible, and there was no trace of the fallen person. And the backward man also went to the end, and then, jumping up, a tiger pounced in the snow a meter away from the footprints. The falling cloak followed and covered him tightly.
This time, everyone completely understands that their feelings are hidden from each other, and if they want to completely cover their bodies, they will inevitably move, and they will leave traces in the snow, and the footprints will also betray them. And the instructors are more than two dozen people stepping on a footprint, and then falling still, and the final details of the cover are done by the first person, and then hidden.
If you don't get closer, you won't see anything unusual at all, but of course, it's still easy to spot if you get closer. But what if there's still snow in the sky? Follow the tracks, and before you find anyone, the back road will be cut off, or even directly ambushed.
