"No, no. Take a break, take a break. The three of them walked deep in the dense forest and didn't know how long they walked, and Zhao Jiyong finally sat down on the bare roots of a big tree and refused to get up again.

In fact, Cheng Zhichao and Lu Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore. From the moment they entered the forest, the three of them never stopped, and they drilled into the forest with one mind. This process actually didn't take too long, but there was no road in the forest at all, and every step forward was almost a hard trip. The dagger issued at the time of departure did not play any role at this time, and Cheng Zhichao even secretly regretted that he should apply to Cheng Yanming for a woodcutter.

With Zhao Jiyong's tricks, Cheng Zhichao and Lu Zhuo also felt that their legs were like being filled with lead, and even if they wanted to move one step further, it would take a lot of effort, and the two of them sighed and sat down next to Zhao Jiyong.

Zhao Jiyong leaned against the tree, his eyes slightly closed: "Chao'er, how long have we been walking?" ”

"I don't know, it should be half an hour."

"That means that now that the entrance has been sealed, the people of the special brigade are arresting us all over the forest."

"It should be, but I haven't seen a single figure so far, it seems that what we did at the beginning was right, the deeper we go into the forest, the fewer people are ambushed, and the more chance we have to get out."

"I hope so, it's fucking hard." Zhao Jiyong took the kettle, took a sip of water, and then wiped the corners of his mouth and said.

Although Lu Zhuo also sat down to rest with them, the expression on his face was still very solemn, and his two eyes kept looking around vigilantly, completely playing the role of a sentinel.

"Chief, don't look around, there's not even a ghost." After Zhao Jiyong said this. He closed his eyes again: "Let's rest for a while, we are still growing in front of us." By the way, I didn't hear it clearly just now, did the team say the specific time of the mission when they handed over the task? Or rather, how long will this arrest last at most? ”

"I didn't say that. However, according to past practice, it will generally not exceed 48 hours. The food we were given was only enough for 48 hours. We are not members of the special brigade yet, and no matter how we say it, they will not embarrass us in terms of provisions. ”

"That's good, as long as we can hide for forty-eight hours, we should be able to pass this selection." Zhao Jiyong opened his eyes and quickly made a decision.

Lu Zhuo smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy, there are hundreds of people looking for us in the entire forest, and there are two detachments of special combat members." These people are experts in jungle warfare, and it is easy to find us in the woods based on the clues we have left behind. For now, it's better to think about how to get out of this forest as much as possible, and the most important thing is to reach the destination. ”

"If you want me to say, just dig a pit and bury the three of us, as long as the disguise is good, they may not be able to find us. Even if they could find us, I'm afraid they would never have imagined that we were three people. If the number of opponents is small. We're going to just kill them and then move to a new place. ”

Cheng Zhichao stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face: "It's easy to say." You don't even have a sapper shovel, what do you use to dig a hole? With the dagger in our hands, I'm afraid that before we can dig it, we will let the family find it. ”

"Then you have to find a place to hide it first, and restore it. If you keep running like this, you don't need to be caught. Tiredness also makes us tired. Zhao Jiyong said as he looked around, wanting to see if there was a suitable place around for them to hide and rest completely.

But before he could choose a place, there was a burst of gunfire from the direction they had come. Since both sides were issued the same type of automatic rifles this time, it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe from the sound of gunfire alone. But now that the gun went off. It shows that there must be people from the special brigade and candidates who have exchanged fire.

"I'm cāo!" As soon as the gunshot rang out, Zhao Jiyong immediately jumped up from the ground like a spring under his buttocks: "Fuck, who is so unlucky to let people find it so quickly?" ”

Cheng Zhichao listened attentively, and the gunfire was not too far from the position of the three of them. In fact, with the development of technology, except for some large-caliber heavy firearms, the gunfire of light weapons such as automatic rifles has become smaller and smaller, for example, the gunfire of the Type 95 rifles, which have begun to be installed in large quantities now, sounds extremely small at close range, and if you don't listen carefully two or three hundred meters away, it is basically impossible to distinguish. Unlike the old automatic rifles, you can hear it from miles away as soon as you fire.

The guns used in this selection were specially modified, and the sound of the guns was not too loud, and they could hear it so really, which showed that the two sides of the firefight were not too far away from them.

Lu Zhuo listened attentively for a while, and said in a deep voice: "No, it's too close to us, withdraw immediately, otherwise it will be easy for the special forces who rushed over to train and reinforcements to find us." ”

"His grandmother's, don't let him rest for a while." As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jiyong had already rushed out in an arrow step. Looking at his condition, it seemed that he had fully recovered after just a few minutes of rest. Cheng Zhichao and Lu Zhuo were two or three meters away from each other, and retreated while on guard, and in less than half a minute, the three of them had disappeared into the dense forest.

As soon as their figures disappeared for two or three minutes, four members of the special brigade dressed in camouflage uniforms quietly touched them and stopped where they had just rested. One of them lowered his head and took a closer look, and said in a deep voice: "There are three people in total, the traces are still very clear, and it shouldn't be long after they ran away." ”

The other looked around, and then said, "Judging from the scratches on the branches, it should have run in the northeast direction, chase." ”

The other two said with a smile: "These three boys are quite alert, and as soon as the gunshots rang out over there, they fled immediately." ”

"Hmph, everyone knows that as long as the gunshots go off, they will definitely have to recruit all the people, and I will run away if I am replaced."

"How's it going over there?"

"I really underestimated these people, more than a dozen people surrounded four people, and they not only killed two, but also ran away. The other three, one captured alive and two killed, have all been taken away. Looks like. These four people are a small group, and the three who were blocked by us were purely for sale, deliberately staying to attract our firepower and buy time for the person who escaped, and someone has already chased after the traces left behind. Twenty or so people chase a lonely, if they can't catch up. Their rice is considered to be eaten for nothing. ”

"Then let's not mix, after a rapid march of fifteen kilometers, their body should be almost exhausted. Work harder, catch up with these three boys, even if you can't catch them alive, you have to chase them all over the forest, and you have to exhaust them when you are tired. Xiao Liu, you are good at tracking and leading the way. ”

The man who had been observing the traces just now nodded. The right hand waved forward: "Keep chasing in this direction, there will definitely be a reward." ”

At this time, there was a rapid sound of rifle fire from behind them, and someone could faintly hear the loud shouting of people, and it seemed that the only person who escaped among the four people just now was also caught up by the special forces and was resisting stubbornly.

Cheng Zhichao and the others couldn't hear this burst of gunshots, and the three of them had already become frightened birds, holding their breath and just burying their heads in the front. Among the three, Lu Zhuo was born in the Marine Corps. When I went to the military academy, I studied reconnaissance and command again. Although he is not as proficient in jungle warfare as the people of the special brigade, he is much stronger than Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, two rookies who have not yet learned and put it into practice.

After running for a while, Lu Zhuo faintly felt that someone seemed to be chasing after him, and he couldn't help but look back. At that time, the four people who caught up were still some distance away from them, and the forest was dense, so there was no human figure at all. But his intuition told him that someone was indeed catching up. It's an intuition akin to a sixth sense, which grows stronger and more uncomfortable as time goes by.

"Stop for a moment."

Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, who were running in front, heard his greeting. Immediately stopped: "What's wrong?" ”

"I feel like someone is catching up, and it's not a way for us to run like this." Lu Zhuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gasped and said, "People are waiting for us here." Our brothers ran more than ten kilometers first, and then turned around in the forest for such a long time, they couldn't outrun them at all. Besides, I don't know if there is an ambush in front of me, so if I run blindly like this, I might fall into the trap they prepared in advance. ”

Cheng Zhichao was taken aback: "You mean, someone has caught up?" ”

"I haven't seen anyone yet, and I feel like someone is following the traces we left behind, and we have to find a way to get rid of them."

"What can you do? There is simply no way. As far as we have this little body left, it's too difficult to get rid of them, if you want me to say let's not run, aren't they ambushing us, let's use the other way, give back to the other side, find a place to ambush them. Such a large forest, they want to set traps everywhere, the number of people is definitely not enough, even if they form a group to catch us, the number of people in each group is a few people at most. Take the time to beat them off guard, maybe there will be a chance. Cheng Zhichao's two eyes were bloodshot, and the expression on his face became hideous.

Lu Zhuo was taken aback: "Ambush them? ”

"Well, I also agreed to hit them in an ambush." Zhao Jiyong and Cheng Zhichao have always advanced and retreated together, and since Cheng Zhichao proposed to build a plan, even if the consequences are unpredictable, Zhao Jiyong unconditionally supports it. Besides, with the current state of the three of them, they really can't run any further. If they keep running like this, they won't be able to resist if they encounter another trap in front of them.

"You two don't joke, even if there are not many of them, how can they have four or five, five or six, just the three of us, I think it's enough."

"It's too late to think about it so much, it's a big deal to die with them." Now that he has decided to obey Cheng Zhichao's advice, Zhao Jiyong's mentality has calmed down a lot, but there is a little more eagerness to try on his face.

Lu Zhuo secretly complained, regretting in his heart that he really shouldn't have listened to his daughter-in-law's advice and chose to be with the two of them. When he first received the news from his daughter-in-law and knew that these two boys were the people Cheng Yanming had a crush on, and they were even very likely to be the candidates, he was really excited for a while. feels that since Cheng Yanming values Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong so much that he can even do the "internal" thing, then he will definitely show mercy to these two people. Once you get on the line with them, the probability of being selected will undoubtedly increase greatly.

Unexpectedly, not only did Cheng Yanming seem to have no intention of releasing water, but these two boys also seemed to be two crazy people. In his experience, since he found that he was being followed, as long as he worked hard, he believed that there was still a chance to get rid of the stalking. But the two didn't know what to think, so they had to stop and ambush.

The idea is crazy. Lu Zhuo hurriedly said: "I object, those people can keep catching up, they are definitely not ordinary people, maybe they are still people from the special combat team, it is too risky to do this." ”

"Two to one, opposition is invalid." Cheng Zhichao said in a low voice: "Chief." If you feel unsure, you can go first, and the two of us will stay and ambush, even if you fail, you can delay them a little, maybe you can really escape, which can be regarded as a great favor in return for the mobile phone you once lent me. ”

"That's it." Zhao Jiyong echoed Zhichao's decision, and has already begun to look around for a suitable ambush location.

Regarding jungle warfare, Lao Jiang also taught them. It's more of a theory, though. Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong have been living in the compound of the military region since they were children, and they basically don't see many large-scale woods except for visiting the park. Even if Lao Jiang wanted them to practice, he couldn't find a suitable place at all.

However, Lao Jiang is also an expert-level figure in jungle warfare, even if he can't find a place for the two of them to practice, but the theories and skills taught are valuable experience obtained through countless field battles, which is of great practical value. What Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong lack. It's just a matter of piercing this layer of window paper and combining the theories learned with the current field environment.

The two are typical rookies in this regard. However, it is not on the same starting line, Zhao Jiyong is somewhat stronger than Cheng Zhichao. This is also thanks to Yang Yujian, it was he who assigned Zhao Jiyong to the radar station, which gave Zhao Jiyong the opportunity to "hunt". In the process of "hunting", Zhao Jiyong applied the jungle warfare theory taught by Lao Jiang many times, and accumulated some experience. If it was not Zhao Jiyong who was assigned to the radar station at the beginning, it was Cheng Zhichao. With Cheng Zhichao's easy-going personality, most of them will not even have this opportunity to practice.

Zhao Jiyong was searching his stomach and recalling what Lao Jiang had taught at the beginning, and at the same time he kept saying his thoughts and verifying each other with Cheng Zhichao, and Lu Zhuo only listened to it with a pale face - these two people didn't even know anything about the most basic jungle warfare, and the sedan chair here had arrived at the door. Only then did I think of hitting my ears and eyes.

However, I insisted on being in a group with them at the beginning, and if I abandon them now, it seems a little unkind. Lu Zhuo had a fierce confrontation in his heart for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision: just stay and ambush with them, at most, let the people of the special brigade capture them alive.

Thinking that it had been less than an hour since he got into the woods, he was captured alive, and he was really a little unwilling. In particular, Cheng Yanming said that only those who stay until the end can pass the selection, and now he will withdraw from the selection in less than an hour, and this trip is probably in vain, and his wife really doesn't know how to explain it.

At this time, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong had already found a place to set up an ambush, Lu Zhuo squatted down and observed, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: Don't say, these two boys are really very discerning, and the place they are looking for is quite like that.

There are two places that Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong are looking for, which are located on the left and right sides of the passage when they came, with a few bushes on the left and a big tree with a thick hug on the right. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but the root system is particularly developed, and the bare roots of the tree are covered with vines, covering the roots tightly. If someone really hides in disguise and doesn't pay attention, it's really hard to find.

After choosing a good place, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong deliberately made some traces on the trunk of the big tree, so that people could see that the big tree had been climbed by people before they got close. After doing this, Zhao Jiyong got into the bushes on the left side and lay down, while Cheng Zhichao ambushed the roots behind the tree. The two of them had prepared some camouflage to cover their bodies in advance, and they lay there motionless, but Zhao Jiyong's camouflage was not perfect, and if you looked closely, you could still see it at a glance by insiders.

Since he had decided to ambush with them, Lu Zhuo naturally wanted to raise the question he saw, but to his surprise, Zhao Jiyong shook his head when he heard that he had disguised himself better, saying that it would be good.

Lu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth slowly curled: "It seems that these two boys are not ignorant, and they even know how to create illusions to confuse the enemy." ”

If the opponent is really a master of jungle warfare, he can recognize it at a glance, and then make a judgment that there is someone on the tree. Then most of the attention should be on the tree. But anyone knows that there are too many unknown factors in the jungle, and the other party must know that there is more than one person on their side, so they will definitely not pay all their attention to the trees, and must observe whether there are ambushes around the trees. At this time, Zhao Jiyong's disguise can successfully attract the attention of the pursuers, plus Cheng Zhichao is hiding behind a tree, if the pursuers really follow the traces left by themselves, they will definitely not find him.

first used the big tree to attract the other party, and then let Zhao Jiyong take the initiative to show up to contain the other party's attention, and finally Cheng Zhichao carried out a surprise attack, before the other party did not attack Zhao Jiyong, and then Zhao Jiyong responded to Cheng Zhichao from the side, the whole plan can be described as seamless. Lu Zhuo laughed, and suddenly felt that these two boys didn't seem to be too crazy, and if they set up an ambush here, maybe they could really get miraculous results. (To be continued......)
