"Check your training bags to see if you have everything with you? Food, water, flashlights, compasses, maps, climbing ropes, sapper shovels, knives, whistles, ......"

Xiao Kecheng, an instructor at the brigade headquarters, wore a camouflage uniform and walked around in front of the queue.

Throughout the school's campus, all the students were talking in low voices around the playground as several classes that were about to leave as search teams.

"When I was taking a course in military topography, I told you to try to avoid marching at night if it is not necessary, if it is not a special case. But tonight is a special situation, the third squad of the 1st squadron has not yet reached the assembly point, if you guess correctly, they should have encountered some difficulties during the march. ”

"These five classes of yours are the best classes in the entire brigade that have learned military topography, and in the past few days, your subject completion has been the best, which is why you were selected as the search team. In addition to your squad leader, each search team will also be led by an instructor from our brigade headquarters or a district leader who is well-versed in topography. ”

"Now, your map has demarcated the search range of each class, and also demarcated the area where the third class is most likely to have problems, we will focus on the search in the demarcated area, and everyone's whistle will blow every once in a while, and if the third class hears the whistle, they will respond."

"After discovering the third squad, you will use the radio carried by the squad to get in touch with the brigade, immediately make a location on the map, and report the location to the temporary command room of the brigade headquarters, as long as the third squad is found, if there is any damage, then you can choose the nearest open area, the division has reported the situation here to the group army, and now the army aviation regiment in the army is on standby at the airport, and can take off at any time to come to the rescue."

Squatting solemnly on the ground, checking their equipment one by one.

In this search, each trainee was equipped with 30 rounds of live ammunition to prevent some unexpected situations.

Although Zhuang Yan had never dealt with the people of the third squad of the first squadron, those were all comrades-in-arms of his own brigade.

Lost in the jungle, Majeres knows that the situation is not good.

Today, Class 7 was on the way, and it almost collapsed.

If it weren't for the fate of encountering a mountain twist, I'm afraid I don't know how much more time it would take to return to Huzhen.

Luo Xiaoming and several squad leaders who acted together this time spread out the map on the side and discussed all kinds of things, and even argued when it came to the excitement.

Everyone seemed to be in a very anxious mood.

After discussing for a while, there seemed to be a consensus between several class leaders and teachers, Luo Xiaoming took off his hat fiercely, crumpled it into a ball and pinched it in his hand, and walked in front of Class Seven: "Class Seven!" Are you all ready!? When you're ready, let's go! ”

His tone suddenly became very strong, and his eyes shone with an unstoppable light.

Everyone's spirits were shocked, and they all stood up, neatly put their guns and backpacks on their shoulders, and replied in unison: "Squad leader, we are ready!" ”

Luo Xiaoming adjusted the camouflage training bag, turned around, looked over the wall of Huzhen Central Primary School, and looked at a boundless primeval forest in the distance for half a minute without speaking.

Then he returned to the front of the team, raised his hand and pointed to the distance, and said loudly: "Today, even if we go through this mountainous area, we must find the third class back!" ”

A full affection seeped out of the words, there was a kind of sacredness and solemnity in the air, as if time had stopped, the twelve soldiers who were already very tired were suddenly in good spirits, they stood on the playground like iron casts, and there was an indescribable power flowing in their blood, which filled everyone's chests and veins.

Luo Xiaoming asked, "Do you have confidence!?" ”

"Yes!"

Once again, the team left Huzhen and headed for the mountain.

Entering the mountains, everyone slowly advanced in the jungle in a column, blowing the whistle every few minutes along the way.

The flashlight illuminates the road ahead, and everyone has six spare batteries, enough to hold out until dawn.

The mountain road at night is indeed difficult to walk, and the solemn worries most about some nocturnal animals, or snakes hiding in the grass or leaves.

Some snakes like to come out at night to feed, and they will definitely get hit when they step on it.

Just like teaching the brigade, solemnly several times in the district riverside bathing can meet the passing bamboo leaves.

Instructor Xiao, who was in charge of leading the team, stopped twice in two hours, each time spreading out the map for terrain comparison, and then choosing the route he thought would meet Class 3 and continued walking.

In fact, the deeper you go into the mountains, the more your solemn heart sinks.

It's been two hours, and I haven't seen any trace of the third shift......

It was pitch black, and almost everything was blurred except for the stars in the sky.

Solemnity is really unimaginable, in this; Similar to looking for a needle in a haystack,

New discoveries are constantly being made, with felled trees and severed vines visible along the way, and those fresh cuts herald that Class 3 was ahead.

The more Luo Xiaoming walked, the heavier his heart became, and the farther he deviated from the correct marching route, the more dangerous the third shift became.

After walking less than a kilometer, a mountain peak suddenly appeared in front of me.

Luo Xiaoming spread out the map, looked at it and said, Oh no, do they want to take a shortcut from the north back to the meeting point?

Solemnly squatted down and asked: "Squad leader, if they were heading for the assembly point from the north, then they should have arrived a long time ago, look here!" He gestured with his hand on the military map, and took the shortcut from the valley junction to the north, which was nearly 10 kilometers less than the correct route!

Xu Xingguo snorted with his nose on the side and said, you can see clearly, there is a cliff over there, look how dense this contour line is, if it is not a cliff, it is so steep that it is dead. He suddenly had a thrill, oh no! Didn't you force yourself down the cliff and fall!

Luo Xiaoming's face darkened, and he quickly folded the map and said, don't talk nonsense, hurry up!

At this time, Wang Datong, who was looking at the front of the team, suddenly shouted: "Squad leader! Monitor! There are people in the mountains! ”

Luo Xiaoming jumped up like a spring and looked in the direction pointed by Wang Datong, and sure enough, there was a soldier in camouflage uniform on the mountainside who jumped and ran to the foot of the mountain, looking anxious.

He took a small trumpet out of the pocket of his camouflage jacket and held it in his mouth and blew it violently.

Toot Toot –

The rapid sound of the horn aroused the mind of the soldier on the mountainside, and he stopped his steps from a distance, looked at it from a distance, and suddenly spread his feet and ran towards him as if he were fleeing for his life.

"It must be someone from the third shift!" Xiao Kecheng concluded, "Come over and have a look!" ”

All the students in Class 7 are in high spirits!

Finally found it!

There was almost no need to verify, everyone believed that it was the third class of the first squadron!

Everyone quickly moved closer to the soldier.

Finally, the two sides converged at the foot of the mountain, Xu Yuan stopped his wild running in front of Xiao Kecheng, and said with a little crying while panting: "Instructor Xiao, we are lost!" ”

Xiao Kecheng asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xu Yuan was still out of breath and said, "I'm Xu Yuan from the third class!" ”

"What about you? Why are you the only one!? Xiao Kecheng hurriedly asked, why are you only one of the eleven of you?

"They were all on the other side of the mountain, there was a cliff in front of them, we couldn't get over, some people fainted from heat stroke! We're out of water! ”

Xiao Kecheng squatted down and unfolded the map, "What direction is your class in?" How is the fainted soldier doing? ”

Xu Yuan scanned the map several times, but he couldn't point out the approximate direction.

He already has some kind of psychological shadow.

Today, it was his recklessness and arrogance that led to the loss of Class 3 and Liu Xiangdong's coma.

"I just need an approximate location, where did you go the wrong way?" Xiao Kecheng asked.

Xu Yuan took a breath, pointed his finger, and pointed at the coordinates of the valley that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"Are you going back to your original path now?"

"My comrades-in-arms in the squad asked me to come out for help, and they said that they were carrying the unconscious Liu Xiangdong to the original road, so ...... I really don't know where they are now......" Xu Yuan's eyes instantly turned red.

Xiao Kecheng's gaze turned on the map and said, "Okay, I probably know where to go." ”

He pulled out his flare gun, loaded it, and fired a shot into the air.

Red flares soared into the air, leaping into the air in the darkness of the night, and then began to fall slowly.

All around, a bright place.

Xiao Kecheng said to Xu Yuan: "You stay, someone will come to pick you up later." ”

Then he asked, "Who wants to stay and take care of him?" ”

Li Zhaoxin raised his hand and said, "Me." ”

He noticed that Xu Yuan's lips had cracked one after another.

"Come, brother, drink my water, tonight the brigade sent five squads to look for you, let's just sit here and wait, someone will come and take us out."

Xu Yuan was holding Li Zhaoxin's kettle to drink, and when he heard that he was going to wait in place, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, I want to follow you in, I want to find them......"

Xiao Kecheng said non-negotiable: "This is my order!" It's not a question, you know? Soldier! It's not your right to continue the search, or you'll not be able to hold on to yourself later, and you'll become a liability. ”

"No, I can ......"

"Enough! Can't understand me? That's an order! Xiao Ke roared like a tiger, completely shocking the chattering Xu Yuan.

Xiao Kecheng turned around, pulled Luo Xiaoming to the side and said, "The situation doesn't seem good, if someone of them falls into a heat stroke coma at dusk...... It's a big problem......"

Of course, Luo Xiaoming also knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded: "Send people out as quickly as possible." ”

Xiao Kecheng put the map on his forearm and opened it, knocked his index finger heavily on a road on the map a few times, and said, "I estimate that the third shift will be within this range." Once we've found them, here we are! This is the closest to the current location, there is an open field, and later we will inform the brigade of our coordinates by radio, and then go there and wait for the helicopter! ”

"Yes!" Luo Xiaoming nodded vigorously, turned around and waved his hand: "Class 7, let's go!" Take out your fastest speed, now that a comrade is unconscious, we have to race against time to find their location as soon as possible! ”
