The gunfire just now has already indicated that there must be people from the special forces in the vicinity. Although they were not found, the three of them did not dare to be careless, and cautiously walked forward.

In fact, if it is according to normal practice, since it is not very safe here, Cheng Zhichao and the others should leave immediately. But now they don't have much water, and if they want to go any further, they have to take a risk and get water from the river in front of them. Otherwise, with their current body, it will be difficult to move forward in the absence of drinking water.

In the early days of the selection, it took them less than an hour to spend 15 kilometers, but now it takes more than three hours to spend a few kilometers. Lu Zhuo looked at his watch, and the time had pointed to more than three o'clock in the afternoon. The sound of water came faintly from ahead, and it was obviously not far from the river.

The three of them lay there quietly, no one moved, and after a while, when they were sure that no one was paying attention, they quickly moved forward a few meters, and then lurked again.

Since the members of the Special Brigade have already exchanged fire with the candidates in this vicinity, they will definitely think that someone will appear by the river, not because of the water source, but because the river is the only way forward. After crossing the river, you can move on. So there will definitely be heavy garrisons near this river.

After a long journey, the spirit is highly stressed, and the three of them are now feeling a little thirsty again. However, only Zhao Jiyong still had half a pot of water left in his kettle, so the three of them didn't dare to let go of their bellies and drink water to quench their thirst. Zhao Jiyong's appearance is still quite generous, and after taking a sip of water, he gave the remaining small half pot of water to Cheng Zhichao and Lu Zhuo.

Cheng Zhichao only took a sip, Lu Zhuo planned to take a sip more, but seeing that Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong didn't drink more, he was embarrassed to drink more. After taking a sip, he handed the kettle back to Zhao Jiyong.

"Damn, when I came, I thought of all the difficulties, and the only thing I didn't expect was that there was not enough water to drink." Zhao Jiyong licked his lips and lay on his side on the ground. picked up a grass root and put it in his mouth, and scolded in a low voice.

"I didn't expect that either." Cheng Zhichao sighed.

He really didn't have this in mind, and in his mind, in the primeval jungle, there should be no shortage of water. It's just that I didn't expect them to run like lost dogs as soon as they entered the forest. Although Xiao Liu and others were successfully taken down, nothing was captured. Xiao Liu and the others had their own way to get water in the forest, and they didn't go out on combat missions, so they didn't bring a kettle.

The river is ahead, as long as it can be successfully crossed. You can drink heartily, then fill the kettle and continue on your way. This is the edge of the forest, and there shouldn't be too many people from the special brigade here. This river is the only way forward, and the special brigade should concentrate most of its forces nearby, as long as it can successfully cross this river, I believe that the road below will be much easier.

"Wait a minute, I don't know where their people are ambushed now, if they show their heads rashly. Maybe it'll be a good one. Lu Zhuo thought for a moment and said. It's best to wait until the evening and act at night. ”

"It's still early in the dark now, and I don't think we can afford to wait here. If you do run into a few idle eggs who run out to patrol, it will be bad, either find a way to cross the river now, or retreat to safety first. ”

The burst of gunfire just now made Zhao Jiyong feel insecure now, and when he heard Lu Zhuoti acting at night. Immediately put forward his own opinion.

Cheng Zhichao and Lu Zhuo agreed with his suggestion, and after the three of them rested there for a while, they prepared to quietly withdraw first. But they had barely moved a few meters when they heard someone next to them shouting, "What a man! ”

"I'm cāo, discovered?" All three of them had a drastic change in their faces. Subconsciously grabbed the weapon in his hand.

Listen to the sound, it comes from the dense forest on the right, but it's not very close. Moreover, the forest is dense, Cheng Zhichao and the others glanced at each other, and they were all shocked in their hearts: Could it be that the people of the special brigade have such clever reconnaissance methods, separated by more than a hundred meters, and they are deep in the dense forest, and they can find them when they only move a few meters?

But then the gunfire like bursting beans in the dense forest made them breathe a sigh of relief - the other party is also an elite soldier of the special forces, even if it is an ordinary field army, they will not shoot and expose the target without fully seeing the other party, let alone special forces?

At the same time as the gunshots rang out, Cheng Zhichao and the others knew that it was not themselves who were discovered, but someone else.

"Who? It's so unbearable. Zhao Jiyong turned back from his fright and couldn't help but feel a lot of sympathy for those unlucky guys. So far, basically those who have the ability to escape have fled to the deep forest, and most of the people who have a slightly worse ability should have withdrawn from the selection. It has now entered the time for the remaining personnel of both sides to fight each other. At this time, I can't hold my breath, and being found out is really unlucky.

"It should be someone who has the same idea as us, but he was not lucky enough to hit the muzzle."

"What shall we do? Do you help them or run away? ”

"Nonsense, of course, escaped. Do you know how many people are guarding here? As soon as the gunshots go off, we will definitely be attracted by other people, and if we don't leave, even we will have to be surrounded, so hurry up. ”

The three of them didn't dare to stay for a long time, and while the two groups were fighting, they quietly retreated to a short distance and hid. They chose a very clever place, right in a shallow pit. Next to this shallow pit is a big tree that has fallen to the ground, this pit is the tree pit left after the tree falls, but I don't know how the tree fell, but it should have fallen for many years, the tree has died, but there are still a few young branches on the trunk.

Due to the long time, the tree pit was already full of weeds, and after the ambush, the three of them had made a meticulous camouflage when they were heading towards the river, and the people of the special brigade were besieging those unlucky guys, and they were not afraid of being discovered by them at all.

The gunfire was intense, and it seemed that the fighting was fierce. However, since they had just ambushed Xiao Liu and them, Cheng Zhichao and the three of them knew very well in their hearts that in this deep mountain and old forest, the dense gunfire did not mean that the results were abundant. As long as people hide behind trees, hundreds of bullets may not be able to kill a person. It's just that due to the large number of people in the special brigade, as long as a few people are divided to suppress firepower, the others have every chance to capture the enemy alive.

So based on the sound of gunfire alone, they can't tell who has won this encounter so far. After all, the task of the Special Forces is to prevent these candidates from moving forward. As long as one of the other side breaks out of their encirclement and successfully escapes, for them, it is a loser. At present, the only thing Cheng Zhichao and the others can do is to let go of a qiē and concentrate on waiting until it gets dark.

After a while, the gunfire gradually thinned out, and the battle should have come to an end, Cheng Zhichao and the others breathed a sigh of relief. But they didn't have time to rejoice for long. They found something that disturbed them very much-the sound of gunfire actually moved in their direction.

The hearts of the three of them that had just fallen into their stomachs were lifted again, and they hurriedly looked forward. After a while, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the woods, and then a man rushed out of the forest at a rapid pace, and ran towards the place where the three of them were hiding. Judging by this person's outfit, he should be a candidate. There was a lot of gunfire behind him, and the people of the special brigade were in hot pursuit. Fifteen or sixteen men sprang out of the woods, in pursuit. While shooting. However, this person is very good, and although the special forces are shooting loudly, they only blossom and do not bear fruit.

Cheng Zhichao and the others all opened their eyes wide, secretly hating, thinking that this rammer, where to run is not good. I have to run in this direction.

The man's running speed was so fast, in the blink of an eye, he was less than 100 meters away from the hiding place of Cheng Zhichao and the others, and according to his running speed, it would only take more than ten seconds to get in front of them. The special forces who followed behind him were not slow, and they were not left behind by him. More than a dozen feet ran over to the hiding place of Cheng Zhichao and others.

The situation was critical, and Cheng Zhichao and the others couldn't think about it anymore, so the three of them looked at each other and invariably the guy in their hands. The tree pit they were in was so hidden that if they didn't get close, they wouldn't be able to see anyone hiding there, even from twenty or thirty meters away. This is Cheng Zhichao's biggest advantage, and they can use this advantage to carry out a surprise attack. The premise is, of course, that person can get to them. If he is caught or shot in a vital place before he can get here, then he can only blame himself for his bad luck.

But there is no doubt that that person is lucky, Cheng Zhichao saw this person turn left and right, and actually avoided the rain of bullets behind him, and ran more than 20 meters away from their hiding place ahead of the pursuers. The terrain here is relatively open, and the trees are relatively sparse, so it should have been destroyed by an unknown unit during exercises or confrontations here. Thirty or forty meters further on, the trees flourished again. Seeing this, the pursuers behind the man smiled on their faces. One of the special forces had already stopped, half-kneeling on the ground and raising his gun to start aiming.

It was at this time that Cheng Zhichao suddenly shouted: "Do it!" After Zhao Jiyong and Lu Zhuo, who had been prepared, heard these two words, they suddenly got up and opened fire.

This change surprised the pursuers, the man who ran in front was already a boiled duck, and he could no longer escape, but when he was about to take him down, there was an ambush in front of him, and there were three of them.

The three men were not decisive, and as soon as they got up, the rifles in their hands fired, and all of them were long bursts. The pursuers were caught off guard, and suddenly six or seven people sounded an alarm.

The others reacted extremely quickly, and when they saw someone sneaking up, they immediately lay down on the spot and raised their guns to shoot back. If you want to talk about target shooting results, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong are slightly worse than them, but now it is not target shooting, the other party is a living, able to run and jump, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong have a much smaller disadvantage in the head. In addition, the two of them are agile and nimble, and if they miss a hit, they will immediately change places and fight again, so although the number of remaining pursuers is several times more than the three of them, there is really no way to take them for a while.

The benevolent brother who ran in front of him was no longer lucky, but he didn't expect the savior to come suddenly, and when he heard someone behind him helping him to block the attack, he didn't have time to think about where those people came from, so he immediately stopped and turned around and launched an attack with Cheng Zhichao and them.

After Cheng Zhichao and others fired another shuttle of bullets, they found that the effect was getting worse and worse, and they only lost two more pursuers. There were still eight or nine people left on the other side, and they didn't have much ammunition left. They don't know if there are reinforcements behind the other party, and if there are more than a dozen people, they will be made dumplings. Therefore, Lu Zhuo made a quick decision. While fighting, he whispered: "Save ammunition, change to short point shooting, retreat while fighting, as long as you retreat into the forest, escape immediately." ”

Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong also had this intention for a long time, and after listening to his words. did not object, the four of them crossed cover in front of the two backs, and withdrew to the forest next to them while fighting.

The pursuers saw through his intentions at a glance, and one of the captains, who seemed to be the commander of the group, could not help but shout when he saw this: "They must flee, increase their firepower, be sure to drag them here, and wait for the people behind to come up and capture them alive." ”

As soon as those people came up, Cheng Zhichao and they killed six or seven people, since the selection began. I have never heard of such a big loss, and I have long been on fire in my heart. After listening to the man's order, he didn't speak, but shot desperately, trying to suppress Cheng Zhichao and them.

But these people were extremely slippery, and under the suppression of such dense firepower, they still fought and retreated, and gradually retreated to the edge of the dense forest. Suddenly, only one person could be heard shouting. The four of them simultaneously set the rifles in their hands into bursts, and within a few seconds. The bullets in the magazine were all fired. Originally, the pursuers saw that they had retreated to the edge of the dense forest, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and they wanted to get up and pursue, but they didn't expect a rain of bullets to shoot over, and they had no choice but to dodge on the ground. Take advantage of this opportunity. Cheng Zhichao and the others have already drilled into the forest like rabbits.

"Can't let them run, chase." Everyone jumped up one after another, followed by Cheng Zhichao and chased after them. It's just that the forest is too dense, and those people fled quickly, and when they chased into the forest, they found that the four people had long since disappeared.

The captain commander was furious. He raised his gun and fired a few shots in all directions, and scolded: "Damn, it's pretty fast." ”

"Shall we still chase after us?" A non-commissioned officer next to him asked.

"Still chasing a fart, I didn't grasp such a good opportunity just now, and now people have run into the woods, and there is not even a figure, how can I chase it? Go back and keep watching, I guess someone will come over tonight. At the same time, inform the brothers in other units to pay attention, and beat them to the death after encountering these boys. ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Cheng Zhichao and the others actually didn't run far, after nearly a day of running, their bodies were obviously a little unable to keep up, if it weren't for the escape for their lives, they wouldn't have run like they had just done.

But it was just a short outbreak, only ran more than 200 meters, Zhao Jiyong couldn't do it first, and the other three saw that he was really not pretending, so they gritted their teeth, so they had to find a place to hide, and at the same time prepare for battle. If once the pursuers catch up, they can only fight. What kind of fight can be done, whether it is a blessing or a curse, you can only resign yourself to fate.

But to their surprise, after waiting for more than half an hour and seeing no trace of the pursuers, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and gathered together to relax.

The candidate who was chased and killed just now was an army lieutenant, and when he escaped just now, this person could be called a dragon and a tiger. But now that he is relaxed, the situation is even worse than Zhao Jiyong, Zhao Jiyong can at least sit, and this person has only the strength to lie down.

But the kind words that should be said still have to be said, in a series of "thank you", Zhao Jiyong's last remaining half pot of water was also divided by Cheng Zhichao and others.

The supposed good latent operation had to turn into a head-on exchange with the other party in the end, and he also exposed his whereabouts, Cheng Zhichao was really depressed. But the matter has come to this, even if the heart is not happy, it can't be too obvious. Reaching out and wiping the sweat from his face, he asked the man, "Comrade, which part of you are from?" ”

The man was really happy in his heart, and when he was happy, he talked a lot, laughed twice, and said: "What about you from the tank division directly under the military region?" ”

Zhao Jiyong was surprised: "Tank division? Tank crews are as good as you? ”

"Rare, huh?"

"It's so rare."

The man said with a smile: "The tank division is not all tank troops, in addition to tank troops, there is also an armored reconnaissance battalion. My surname is a single name, and I am the deputy company commander of the second company of the armored reconnaissance battalion. He looked at Zhao Jiyong's military rank, and he was also surprised: "Hey, you are still a private?" Private can even come to the selection? What part are you? ”

"My unit is not as good as yours. You are a tank division directly under the military region, and my unit is nothing more than a teaching team. ”

"Teaching team? A teaching brigade subordinate to the garrison? ”

"No, it's subordinate to the group army."

"Oh." The man nodded and gave a thumbs up: "Great, in this selection, even the garrison area teaching brigade was not selected, and the two of you actually ran for the election, which shows that you are much more capable than those in the garrison area." It's been a blessing for me to have met you. ”

"I said, how can you let people chase such a wolf by yourself?"

"Bad luck. Our group of six was the last to enter the forest, and by the time we arrived, there was already a fight in front of us, so we had no choice but to take a detour. Unexpectedly, after a big circle, it was still blocked, and the other five hung up on the spot, I relied on running fast to get out of the battlefield, but they didn't intend to let me go, fortunately I met you, thank you again.
