562 mangroves

Time flies, and the night passes in the blink of an eye.

When a ray of light began to rise on the horizon, the soldiers of the 12th Detachment of the 1st Squadron of the Wolf Warrior Brigade had already assembled in high spirits.

"Comrades, our task today is dangerous and arduous, so we must muster up the spirit of 120 percent, go all out, and unite as one, is it all clear?"

"Clear!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Okay, next, let's check the weapons and ammunition, pay attention, everything is done according to the actual combat requirements, no matter what weapon you have, you can take it out and fight! Okay, let's start checking. ”

Everyone immediately clicked and checked, the magazines of assault rifles were all filled with bullets, every magazine was full, and the same was true for pistols, grenades were taken out and distributed equally, and everyone had to have so few.

Fortunately, everything in this drill was done in accordance with the requirements of real soldiers and live ammunition, and in order to strengthen everyone's jungle combat ability, this training Su Qin was according to the highest requirements, for example, in real combat, a team member is generally about five spare magazines, but this time he also asked the team members to increase the number of spare bullets, his idea is very simple, one is to increase the weight, exercise everyone's jungle marching ability, and the second is to be prepared, just in case.

Fortunately, Su Qin is more cautious in doing things, otherwise he would not have enough ammunition for today's action!

Everything was ready, Su Qin waved his hand: "Comrades, let's go!" ”

He led everyone in the direction they had predicted.

Where the hell is that base, this is the first reconnaissance mission that everyone has to complete today.

Last night, Su Qin and Yang Jun studied for a long time, and before that, Su Qin discussed with everyone again, and everyone also said their opinions one by one, through analysis and summary, Su Qin came to a conclusion that the base is most likely in the southern direction.

The next thing to do is to test this hypothesis.

"Everyone should keep their distance, in groups of two, the distance between groups should not be too close, but not more than five meters." Su Qin advised while leading the way in front: "Everyone should not only pay attention to their feet, but also their heads, and on the bushes, the closer we get to the base, the more dangerous it will be, and we must be more cautious!" ”

If it was before, everyone would definitely complain again, saying that Su Qin's mother-in-law and mother or something, but at this moment, no one thought like this, first, after these few days of training and actual combat, everyone understood the hardships and dangers of jungle warfare, and second, everyone knew in their hearts that today everyone is no longer training, but really going to fight with terrorists, which makes everyone excited and nervous, naturally, no one will question Su Qin's advice.

After walking for about two hours, Su Qin, who was walking in the forefront, slowed down and listened attentively, and then he raised his right hand and signaled the team members behind him to stop marching.

"Reconnaissance group, fly drones for high-altitude reconnaissance, looking for the general location of the mangroves!" Su Qin ordered by radio.

"Scouting team understands!" Zhao Hu and Qian Feng agreed, and then, the two of them looked for favorable terrain, put down their backpacks, and took out their equipment.

In a moment, with a buzzing sound, a quadcopter drone took off from the forest, and then swirled around more than a hundred meters above everyone to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance.

Judging by the results of yesterday's interrogation, the base is in the mangrove forest.

Mangrove forests are endemic communities of evergreen shrubs and small trees in tropical and subtropical bays and estuarine mudflats.

It grows in the shoals and shoals at the junction of land and sea, and is a special ecosystem that transitions from land to sea.

The most prominent feature is that the root system is well developed and can grow in seawater.

Su Qin roughly judged the location of the mangrove forest based on these characteristics, but he still had to reconnoiter where it was.

The drone of the twelfth detachment, named by Qian Feng as the bee, is a four-rotor drone, which can take off and land vertically, can travel at high speed, and can carry out a wide range of maneuvers, which was specially developed by the drone company according to Su Qin's requirements.

However, this is the first time that bees have been put into actual combat, so there is still a question mark in everyone's hearts about the effect.

Qian Feng and Zhao Hu used the drone to reconnoiter for about two minutes, and after that, Zhao Hu reported: "Captain, according to our observation, in the direction of one o'clock, there is a mangrove forest about two kilometers away!" ”

Su Qin listened, took out the map and looked at it, and then recalled some information that the US military had raised, and finally, he ordered: "Reconnaissance group, collect the drone, continue to move forward, target, one o'clock direction, two kilometers away!" ”

Everyone move on.

The distance of two kilometers is not too far, if it is on flat ground, it is only about ten minutes to walk, if it is even faster, but in the jungle, it takes everyone more than forty minutes to reach it, and this is still under the premise that Su Qin repeatedly accelerated the speed of the march.

About to reach the vicinity of the mangrove forest, Su Qin raised his right hand and signaled everyone to suspend the action, he looked at it with a telescope, and then said in a low voice: "Reconnaissance group, look for favorable terrain to carry out reconnaissance again, pay attention to concealment, fire group, you go to the three o'clock position to be on alert, communication group, you go to the five o'clock position to contact the US military to see if there is any latest progress." Assault group, you get to the eleven o'clock position, sniper group, you go to the commanding heights. ”

"Understood!" Everyone agreed, quickly separated, and each went to their own place to carry out their own work.

Su Qin and Yang Jun observed with a telescope.

There was a mangrove forest in front of them, but it was only a boundary of this mangrove forest, and the mangrove forest was so large that you couldn't see the end of it.

"It's a bit tricky!" Su Qin frowned.

He only now understands why the other party chose the base in the mangrove forest, first, this mangrove forest is very vast, even if he knows that they are hiding in it, he can't accurately locate it, and second, if he wants to enter the mangrove forest, the difficulty is more difficult than marching in the bamboo forest, the bottom of the mangrove tree roots is full of swamps, and there is water, but the trees are dense, it is impossible to enter and exit in a small boat such as an assault boat, and there are only two ways to enter, one is to walk in along the swamp, The other is to jump from the roots of one tree to the roots of another, jumping all the way in, so as to ensure that your body does not get wet and does not have to fight the swamp.

Su Qin was still observing, but Qian Feng's report had already been transmitted: "Captain, after the reconnaissance, this mangrove area is too large, I estimate that it may extend from here to the vicinity of Namei's Hailong Bay, the straight-line distance may be dozens of kilometers, our drone cannot complete the reconnaissance of all mangroves, and it is difficult to find targets on the ground from a high altitude!" ”
