According to the report of the headquarters, the other battalions have arrived at the designated positions and blocked the terrorists as planned, and the battle has been going smoothly; under the joint operation of our side and the Shaya Federation, the large force of the terrorists has collapsed and fled into dozens of small units deep into the mountains. I was very surprised, even to the point of shock, that our army's combat effectiveness was so strong that it was able to defeat the terrorists without collapse in less than three days. A big exclamation point flashed in my mind.

The command ordered all units to form an encirclement to strike at the fleeing enemy. The mission of the advance battalion was to occupy nearby strongholds centered on terrorist bases, and to set up ambushes near Mount Canathi, in the middle of the Custrlo Mountains, from which some of the terrorists were likely to escape.

After receiving the task, battalion commander Zhao Lixin organized and convened a battalion combat meeting to clarify the specific combat tasks. The combat mission of the 2 Infantry Company was to set up an ambush. This task was requested by company commander Sun Zhenwu on his own initiative. It is said that when Battalion Commander Zhao was clearly defining the tasks of the whole battalion, when arranging the task of setting up an ambush, Battalion Commander Zhao was in some difficulty, and this was a rather arduous task; the north was the coldest in February, and it was impossible to wait for the enemy in such weather, and the personnel who set up the ambush could not bear it for a long time. At this time, Sun Zhenwu, commander of the 2nd Infantry Company, took the initiative to ask to take on this task, but Sun Zhenwu only said one sentence: We are a frontier company, and we have been lurking here all year round, and we will certainly be able to complete the task.

The 2nd Infantry Company, under the leadership of the company commander Sun Zhenwu, marched lightly and simply to Mount Kanasi. According to the latest report from the higher-ups, about 1,000 terrorists were divided into nearly 10 groups and fled in the Custelo Mountains. A large part of the terrorists occupied the high ground and planned to pass through the Carnessee Hills, through the Nance Basin, to flee to the town of Kuberovo and then by sea via the port of Hywell.

I don't know where we got this information, but it's so detailed that it's so detailed that we know exactly what the terrorists think and what they plan, but since the higher authorities have made it clear about this situation, then we must set up an ambush in the place where the terrorists must flee to stop the enemy.

When Sun Zhenwu did not rush into Mount Kanasi, when he was five or six kilometers away from Mount Kanahi, Sun Zhenwu sent me with three soldiers to first survey the terrain and determine the lurking position before occupying the position at night and setting up an ambush.

It was only after I stealthily ascended Mount Canassee that I understood why my superiors were so sure that the enemy would pass through the mountain, and in other positions, the enemy would have countless paths to pass through, but if the enemy tried to evacuate from the sea from Port Hywell, it was the place to go.

Mount Canasi is unusually steep, with an extremely high slope and dense boulders, it does not look like a northern mountain at all, but there are extremely deep mountain streams on all sides, only in the mountain there is a passage tens of meters wide connecting the two sides of the mountain, which is almost like a line of sky. This kind of terrain seems to be in the gentle hills and mountains of the north, and suddenly throw in a steep and deep mountain area in the south, which feels very abrupt.

Seeing this terrain, I also understand why terrorist organizations would place their bases in the Nansi Basin, because with such a natural terrain barrier, the Nansi Basin is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very suitable as a stronghold. Of course, in the face of the powerful firepower of our side and the Shaya Federation army, the terrorist organization can only choose to retreat, which is a wise choice.

After reporting the terrain situation to the company commander Sun Zhenwu, the company commander Sun Zhenwu decided to set off at two o'clock in the morning and enter the Kanassee Mountains to set up an ambush.

According to Sun Zhenwu's analysis, under the encirclement of our main forces and the main forces of the Shaya Federation, the remnants of the terrorist organization can only flee, and the only direction to escape is the direction where they are located. In this direction only their advance battalion was present, and in such an urgent situation, the advance battalion must be able to effectively stop the enemy, otherwise the enemy would pass through here and march away from Port Hywell. Looking at it this way, our advance battalion has now become the key to the battle.

Two o'clock in the morning should be the coldest time of the day. February, which is supposed to be the coldest time of the year. Then, this day should be said to be the coldest time of the year. Our 1st Infantry Company set out at this time.

The weather was indeed cold, bitterly cold, cold that penetrated deep into the soul. The temperature must be below minus 30 degrees, I can be sure of this, because I glanced at the thermometer I brought, and the lowest temperature that could be measured was minus 30 degrees, and at this time the thermometer indicated that it was lower than the lowest scale, and the thermometer did not show how much lower it was. I think it's even possible to reach minus 40 degrees.

Nearly five kilometers away from the ambush location, we walked slowly, eliminating the traces of movement while walking, and at the same time preventing walking too fast, the body was too hot, and if the ambush was carried out, it would feel even colder. So, we walked very slowly, and it took us two and a half hours to get into the ambush position.

After entering the ambush position, I couldn't help but ask the company commander Sun Zhenwu if it was necessary to set up mines on the route that the enemy must pass. Company commander Sun Zhenwu thought about it for a while and decided not to set up mines. Sun Zhenwu felt that the terrorists were very cunning and suspicious. At the slightest sign of suspicion, the terrorists are likely not to move on, and their ambush is useless. Therefore, Sun Zhenwu decided not to destroy any terrain features to prevent the enemy from becoming suspicious.

We just lay quietly in the snow in the mountains and forests, hiding our bodies deep in the snow, with camouflage clothes and hats on our heads, and only two eyes exposed. Sun Zhenwu arranged our three platoons in three positions, which were not far apart, and they not only became a pocket shape, but also echoed each other and formed a joint force.

According to the law of conservation of time, the speed of time is always constant, a second is always a second, a minute is always a minute, neither long nor short.

But from a psychological point of view, time often passes quickly when you do what you like; And waiting is often the slowest thing time ever passes. It's like watching a good movie, two hours are fleeting, and if you're waiting for someone, two or three minutes will look at the time.

At this time, we were in this situation, from about five o'clock into the ambush position and began to lurk, until dawn at seven o'clock, I felt as if a century had passed.

After the sun came out, I felt much more comfortable, no longer as cold as in the wee hours of the morning, and there was a hint of warm sunshine that made me feel drowsy. Just as my eyelids kept fighting, I suddenly woke up and I must not fall asleep in this situation, and if I did, I probably wouldn't wake up again. I quickly bit my tongue with my teeth, and the sharp pain lifted my spirits.

"Pass left and right, cheer up, don't sleep!" I also hurriedly reminded the nearby soldiers to cheer up and never fall asleep.

Waiting is the most painful thing in the world, and there is no one, it is the first. Whether it's waiting for someone, waiting for a bus, waiting in line to pay, waiting for a ticket, or waiting for death, that feeling is extremely painful, irritating, mad, and makes people want to run wild and roar to vent completely. But we can't do anything, we can only wait, and we lurk in the snow, waiting motionless, and it's a kind of torture.

Although it is torture, for soldiers, it must be obeyed. From five o'clock to eight o'clock, from eight o'clock to ten o'clock, from ten o'clock to twelve o'clock, no matter how many hours passed, Company Commander Sun led our 1st Infantry Company to always lurk in the snow, not moving, not drinking a sip of water, not eating a mouthful of dry food, and not even going to the toilet, because every action may affect the completion of the entire mission.
