Chapter Twenty-Six: Heavy Losses
Killed the black bear, Zhao Yuan took a deep breath, plopped and collapsed to the ground, trembling all over his body, the three comrades-in-arms who had lived together for two years all died under the palm of this black bear, and only himself was left.
It was terrifying to think about the experience just now, it took more than 20 shots to kill the black bear, and the team of four people was left alone.
Of course, it's not that the black bear's horror was so terrifying that it took more than 20 shots to kill, but that Zhao Yuan and several people were in a state of fright, and the guns in their hands also lost their accuracy, and they basically didn't hit the fatal place, otherwise they wouldn't have killed three people.
Something similar happened in different places, with members of each group suffering unproportionate casualties.
The situation of Yuan Xing's group is an accident, because they are too powerful, it is like opening a plug-in, the main reason is the terrifying strength that Yuan Xing showed in the jungle, in the jungle he is simply a wanderer returning home, doing everything is easy, and he can avoid many dangers just by feeling.
After cleaning up the wolves, everyone decided that it was safer to leave here at night, after all, the smell of blood here was already very strong, and it was likely to attract other beasts or bigger wolves.
Several people put on their marching backpacks, weapons and equipment, and slowly continued to move towards their destination.
When the sky was bright, everyone decided to rest by a water source, and after walking all night, several people looked very tired, although they were all well-trained soldiers, but after all, they marched in a hurry for several days, and they had to be vigilant at all times to prevent emergencies. Everyone's mental strength is obviously more serious than physical.
Yuan Xing and the others washed the blood stains on their bodies, and after finishing them, they ate a little compressed biscuits, beef jerky and other instant food, and then they all rested on their backpacks, striving to quickly recover some physical strength.
Since it was daytime, poisonous insects and beasts would not come out easily, so the degree of security was still relatively high, leaving only one person on guard, and everyone else went to see Zhou Gong's daughter the moment they closed their eyes.
A sweet dream date, but everyone didn't think about what it would be like after waking up, or they didn't dare to think about it, but they all firmly believed in their own abilities, and they had to face difficulties head-on, because they believed that Chinese soldiers shed blood without tears.
At noon, everyone woke up almost at the same time, sorted out their problems, and after lunch, continued to set off. It was only fifty or sixty kilometers away from the final destination, so Yuan Xing decided to take a breath and try to reach the base training camp of the special operations team before dark, after all, if he stayed here for a while, he couldn't say what danger would arise.
A few people were consulted, and no one objected.
When the training base was presented in front of everyone, it was already time for dinner, and as the first group to arrive, the Tianhu personally greeted them, after all, they arrived twelve hours in advance, which was unprecedented in the history of training.
The situation in the dense forest is not clear to anyone in the entire special operations team, because each of them has experienced this level.
However, it is the first time that people like Yuan Xing can reach the finish line twelve hours in advance, which also reflects the strength of several people from the side, and they have overfulfilled the first level.
Tianhu alone ordered the cafeteria to make them a sumptuous dinner, which was a reward for their early arrival.
After dinner, Tianhu arranged a place for them to rest, and after that, they asked Yuan Xing about the experience of several people in the jungle, Yuan Xing did not hide anything, and told everything that happened.
The faces of the Heavenly Tiger and the Earth Tiger changed at the same time after hearing this, although they knew that there were often some drug traffickers or smuggled private armed forces passing by in this primeval forest, and the leaders of the special operations team also had the purpose of letting these team members see the cruelty of the battle and at the same time increase a little actual combat experience, but they were all small teams.
There has never been such a large number of militants passing through here, not to mention what their purpose is, even this group of trainees will probably have a lot of them and will never come back.
After all, these people are all bandits who kill people without blinking, and the team members who have no actual combat experience will definitely suffer after encountering them.
I hope there are a few more left, but Tianhu himself has no bottom in his heart......
After the two Tianhu left, they immediately called the command center of the headquarters, reported the situation to the team leader, and asked the headquarters to send a helicopter team to rescue.
The team leader agreed to the request of the Heavenly Tigers, and sent all the helicopter teams out, ordering everyone to go all out to search and rescue, never let go of a glimmer of hope, and strive to bring everyone back safely.
These are the elites of each unit, although they can't all stay in the special operations team, but they can't be let lose their lives in vain.
With the dispatch of dozens of planes, people were brought back one after another, and the situation was simply miserable, and everyone's body was covered with wounds, some were gunshot wounds, and some were left by some kind of animal.
Thankfully, most of them weren't fatal injuries that kept these people going.
Tianhu ordered the medical staff to treat and bandage their wounds, and then arrange food and lodging, and tonight's training base was destined to be a sleepless night.
Until noon the next day, the flight team stopped the search and rescue, and only 217 of the 276 elites of various units returned.
The others were left in the primeval forest forever, some of the corpses were brought back, and some of them were not found, only their equipment and guns were recovered, and there were some blood stains, and it is estimated that there was nothing left after being eaten by the beasts of the jungle.
Everyone's hearts are very sad, although they don't know each other, but everyone is a soldier, the world's soldiers are a family, everyone can be said to be brothers, they are all working hard for the same dream in their hearts, and now these brothers are gone, maybe many people are still holding on to that dream when they are dying, but they are destined to be unable to realize this dream.
The LTTE held a simple memorial service for these deceased comrades, and then reported to the Political Department of the Military Region to request that these people be added to the title of martyrs, which was approved by the Military Region.
The bereavement of the families of the deceased is also going on at the same time, and one can imagine how sad the families of these soldiers will be, in their eyes, no amount of money can be exchanged for the lives of their loved ones, and no one knows how long this pain will last.
Since everyone was injured, the formal selection training was postponed for two days, and they were given two days off to allow them to adjust their nervous spirits.
If such a big thing happens, if it leaves a shadow of fear, it will be ruined, and it will be difficult to raise one's own level, and what a loss it is for the country.
Regardless of their position or seeking their own politics, the higher-ups always consider the interests of the motherland, and standing in front of the interests of the motherland, they can choose to sacrifice everything, even their own lives.
Taking advantage of the past two days, Yuan Xing's body has adjusted to the best state, and they can be put into training at any time, and the injuries on the other people's bodies have also recovered, which will not affect the training at all, and the nervous emotions have also been completely relaxed under the guidance of some veterans, and the shadow in their hearts is gradually fading.
