Chapter 232: Poachers
The mine that the member of the reconnaissance team stepped on was removed without danger, and it did not seem to be a lone mine, at the very least, it should have been a small minefield, and this mine should have been one of the products accidentally left behind in the process of mine clearance.
As I said earlier, there is never a minelayer who only lays a mine, because if you want to kill and block the enemy through a mine in an area, the probability is really not very large, so the appearance of mines is often a certain order of magnitude, in addition, the mine that was dismantled is obviously the product of the last century, and the mine has already been rusty due to the erosion of time for many years, and there are certain problems whether it can be detonated, but, The odds of whether or not this can exist are something that no one person can afford to bear on their own.
So after the mine was dismantled, we began to carry out a certain range of demining work around the mine, and sure enough, another one was removed, and the age, model, and origin were still the same as the previous mine, but the distance between the two mines was not very short, and in the meantime, no other mines or modified explosives or anything like that were found proved our previous suspicion, and this was really a small minefield once, at least a few decades ago. The mines in the minefield were either removed or detonated.
In fact, from the moment we received the task, each of us was mentally prepared for it, so we didn't show much surprise or worry when faced with such a situation. After all, our mission is on the northwest border of the motherland, where there are not only uninhabited jungles, but also small-scale battlefields left over from the last century, or even longer, in addition, in the jungle on such a deserted border, criminals have always believed that it can become a protective line for their protection, so, in such an environment, there is nothing to make a fuss about when encountering anything or something, but it is the most suspicious to encounter nothing, because, If there is nothing, in such an environment, it really seems too deliberate.
After a demining of the surrounding area, our results were only two mines, and we did not find more things that could hurt people, so we began to move towards the position of the next boundary pillar, but with this lesson, each member of our "Warrior Squad" began to observe their feet and the situation around themselves more carefully in the process of moving forward, so as to prevent unnecessary injuries.
Walking in the jungle is very physically and energetically, and we are really fully armed now, and we have to always pay attention to the natural ecology and the dangers that we think create, our physical strength and energy are consumed very quickly and hugely.
So, after we had been in the jungle for about two hours, we came to a relatively open place and sat down to rest, each drinking water and eating, and began to replenish our strength and energy. According to the original plan, we were going to rest here for fifteen minutes before moving on, but before we could sit down and rest for a few minutes, the "Night Vulture" suddenly jumped up from the ground.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his movements, all of us immediately stopped what we were doing, and all of us clenched the various guns in our hands to ensure that we could act as soon as there was a situation.
"You smell it." The "night vulture" replied to us as he watched his surroundings vigilantly, sniffing his nose vigorously.
When we heard the words of the "Night Vulture" and saw the "Night Vulture" sniff its nose, we followed suit. I'll admit that maybe the "Night Vulture" grew up in the mountains and is very familiar and sensitive to the smell of the mountains, but I really didn't smell anything special except the smell of the earth and the rotting plants and animals along the way.
"What did you find?" After we all sniffed our noses, and we didn't smell anything unusual, much the same as me, so one of the members of the command team asked the "night vulture".
"It smells of blood." I saw that the "night vulture" lowered his head as if thinking about something, whispered, but replied very solemnly, and then raised his head again, his eyes shook from side to side, and then said: "In the air, there is always a faint smell of blood, I smell a little bit on the road, but I am not sure, just a gust of wind blew, this smell of blood is even more obvious." ”
"The smell of blood?" Several of our team members were repeating to themselves, and at this time, one of the team members said to the "Night Vulture": "We are in the jungle now, and it should be normal for us to encounter some kind of beast to kill or hunt, or to hunt or something." ”
After hearing this, the "Night Vulture" also nodded slightly, and then sat back, and everyone put away the guns in their hands again, and began to continue to rest, replenishing energy, but before they had time to rest for a few minutes, a low "bang" immediately put all of us on alert again. This has become our instinctive reaction, because this low "bang" is nothing else, it is the sound of gunshots!
"Listen to the gunshots, we shouldn't be far away, I can't tell what model it is." The members of the command team said to us while holding their guns and aiming in the direction where the gunshots were coming from.
As if to tell us the exact direction, the "bang" of the gunshot rang out again, and this time, all of us really heard the sound of gunfire, more than one gunshot, and it was definitely not the standard rifle we used normally.
"It's a shotgun! Homemade shotguns! The "Night Vulture" frowned, and after thinking for a few seconds, he spoke directly.
"Are you sure?" One of the members of the command team asked after hearing the words of the "Night Vulture".
"I'm sure! I used to hear this when I was in the mountains. The Night Vulture nodded, replying in the affirmative.
The total length of China's land borders is tens of thousands of kilometers, and there are more than a dozen land-bordering countries. Border defense is not only to prevent other countries from encroaching on China's territory, but also to prevent some foreigners from illegally entering the country and doing things that harm China's interests within China's territory. However, with such a long border, our border guards can only defend our country's sovereignty and interests on this side of the border, while on the other side of that border, our border guards cannot cross or make any moves.
"Let's go! Check it out! Try not to hurt anyone! After thinking for a while, the members of the command team opened the map, made a few gestures, raised their wrists to look at the time, and then said to us.
We nodded to the member of the command group who gave the order, signaling that he was okay. Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the two members of the command team, our "Warrior Squad" split into two, outflanked the past from the left and right sides, and blocked the forward and backward routes of these poachers one after the other.
Our actions were swift and hidden, and even after we had completed our roundabouts to their left and right, outflanking them back and forth, the poachers in our encirclement did not discover our existence, which also shows to a certain extent that they are not professional armed men, and it can be temporarily concluded that they are just a group of poachers, a group of poachers who do not hesitate to take risks under the temptation of money, hunting animals on the border of our country in exchange for money, as for whether they are hunting protected animals or not, We don't know for the time being, but if we carry guns and weapons in this forest to hunt any fish, insects, birds and beasts living in the forest, that is illegal hunting, that is, poaching, and we must take reasonable measures against this.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! The members of the command group of our team that was in front of them fired three shots into the sky, and then shouted at them: "We are the Chinese armed police, please immediately put down your weapons and stop your illegal acts immediately!" ”
"There are border guards! Come on! One of the poachers shouted at once, and then three or four poachers with earthen shotguns in their hands began to run towards the border behind them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Seeing this, the members of the command group of the other team that was blocking behind them also fired three shots into the sky, and then shouted at them: "We are the Chinese armed police, please immediately put down your weapons and stop your illegal acts immediately!" ”
Six gunshots and two shouts did create the illusion that there were ambushes everywhere, which stopped the four poachers in our circle at once.
"Spread out! Spread out and run! Spread out and run! As long as we run out of the border, as long as we run out, they won't dare to catch up! Spread out! ”
