Chapter 35: The Gobi Trace
Nighthawk walked in the vast Gobi, and this was the second day he had walked here! Since I came here two days ago, the scenery of the Gobi seems to have not changed! There is no end to the wilderness, only the occasional poplar forest can lift people's spirits!
"Captain, it's too hot in this place during the day, isn't it? Isn't it much better than the desert! The military thorn wiped the sweat on his head, and he almost took off his camouflage uniform! He's wet from the inside out!
Nighthawk felt a little dehydrated in his body, so he took out the kettle and took a sip! The feeling of water flowing into his stomach made him feel much better!
Nighthawk rubbed his mouth, looked at the sun above his head like a furnace, and said, "This is the Gobi big brother, that is, there is less sand than the desert, and there is no sandstorm!" How much better do you want to be here? ”
The military thorn also drank his saliva, but the chapped lips were still not relieved! This is the only sip of water he drank after four hours of walking, and in the Gobi Desert, where the water source is expensive, the water has to be spared to drink, and their water is not too much!
"Where do you say that the Ba'b are hiding? It's not going to all go underground, is it? They didn't come all the way from the desert to escape the heat, did they? When it's time to fight, it's too much like a man! ”
Listening to the thorn's complaints, Nighthawk said funny: "Didn't you hear from anyone, people are digging holes in the ground and living underground abroad!" It's not surprising that even here is hidden underground! I'm afraid that they will fly into the sky and then suddenly appear and scare you! That's what you didn't expect! ”
Nighthawk's words were always accurate, and the military thorn hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't! Other! Captain, you better say something nice, good spirits, bad spirits, I don't want to be suddenly surrounded by tens of thousands of troops! ”
"Then keep your eyes open and pluck your ears clean by the way!" Nighthawk's eyes looked into the distance: "Don't find yourself unhappy, now that you're investigating, you won't be verbose!" ”
Da Niu said on the side: "Then why don't we use Tianyan?" With that thing, it's so much easier to find people! Why bother us to run all over the Gobi? This place is also a little too big, I think I won't be able to finish it in a few days! ”
"You don't want me?" Nighthawk rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, and said helplessly: "I don't know if these guys are too shrewd or if high-tech sometimes fails!" We reconnoitred before we came, and apart from the Gobi or Gobi, we didn't find the slightest shadow of the enemy! Maybe they actually went underground, maybe not! ”
"Wait!" Suddenly, Nighthawk stopped, and the big bull and the thorn who wanted to say something more immediately stopped cautiously! Behind them, a long line quickly dispersed in all directions, they were already used to the suddenness of the Nighthawk!
Nighthawk squatted down, slowly checked the messy footsteps, and said very seriously after distinguishing for a long time: "There are quite a few people, at least more than fifty people have stayed here!" It should be the strength of a platoon that has been cooked here! ”
Like a bloodhound, the thorn wiped the marks on the ground with his hands, and soon a black hole covered by a number of scattered stones was revealed!
The military thorn smiled and said, "Looking at the appearance of this cave, it should be enough for dozens of people to eat together!" There's a garrison in this place! ”
"Look at the footprints, it's not our people!" Nighthawk carefully distinguished the pattern of the shoe prints, raised his head and smiled in the direction of the footprints: "Move forward quickly, pay attention to concealment!" They're not far from us! ”
More than a hundred kilometers away! A reconnaissance battalion led by Yaksha has been fanned out over a radius of ten kilometers! Their search target is in the opposite direction of the Nighthawk, but from the interior towards the border!
Since the enemy army entered the interior, it has disappeared after two small victories, there are heavy troops in front, and there is only a way to retreat behind! So the only possible place for them to stay is either hidden in the middle or has retreated!
The probability of the second is too low, all, there is hope only by searching in the direction of the border!
This time, the people who came out were divided into three ways! Yaksha all the way, mines all the way, Nighthawk all the way!
At the same time, there are reconnaissance detachments of front-line troops to cooperate with them in their search! As soon as you find the enemy's location, notify the army immediately! The General Headquarters will immediately gather all the troops on the front line and deliver the most lethal blow to the enemy!
Zhang Weiguo walked beside the Yaksha, and after two days of getting along, he found that these big people from the capital did not have any shelf! Maybe it's really as Yaksha said, they are brothers on the battlefield, there are not so many rules to talk about, the most important thing is to protect the backs of their comrades, everything else is!
Looking at Yaksha's resolute side face, Zhang Weiguo began to understand a little why Yaksha could be a lieutenant colonel at such a young age! And he, who is also a soldier, can only be a company commander!
"Xiaochao, have you found anything?" Yaksha stopped and asked Wang Chao, who suddenly ran back from the front without warning! Looking at Wang Chao's panting appearance, he must be running very fast!
Wang Chao bent over and gasped heavily, stood up straight, pointed behind him, and said, "Three kilometers ahead, I saw a small group of troops!" It's not ours, but the clothes are somewhat similar, and they should be the enemy's reconnaissance team! ”
"Really? See clearly! Yaksha vigilantly picked up the assault rifle newly issued to them, it is said that this is a newly developed assault rifle developed by the domestic military industry, with a fast rate of fire, a long shot, and a particularly powerful force, which can be compared to a squad machine gun! Almost one person can sweep a large area!
Wang Chao's head quickly turned into beans, and he said vigorously: "Captain, don't worry, I won't look away!" ”
"All on alert!" Yaksha shouted violently, and Zhang Weiguo immediately made a gesture towards his soldiers!
For a while, the gun was loaded, and everyone was very vigilant, although these scouts were not as good as the special forces, they were also first-class good hands in the army, and everyone was not a vegetarian! Zhang Weiguo usually trains well, and at this moment, when he looks at the gestures, he immediately understands that there is a lot of danger ahead!
Yaksha turned his head to Zhang Weiguo and said, "Inform all the search troops to stand by in place, and let's go up first to see what the situation is!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Weiguo didn't hesitate, turned around and ran to the side of the signal soldier, and quickly conveyed the order to the search force!
With a click, Yaksha pulled the bolt of the gun, and looked ahead with a cold look: "Let's go, Xiaochao leads the way, let's go over and take a look!" Where the hell are these people hiding! ”
A gust of wind and lightning! Yaksha took his squad and more than twenty scouts led by Zhang Weiguo to quickly infiltrate the location that Wang Chao said! On the undulating Gobi, the Yaksha lies on the hot ground! Enduring the scorching heat, Yaksha slowly raised the telescope and looked at the place Wang Chao was pointing!
I saw a team of more than 20 people scattering forward, they looked around vigilantly, their bodies were bent almost to their waists, and the camouflage clothes on their bodies were almost the same color as the surrounding Gobi! Apparently a well-trained reconnaissance unit! If it weren't for Wang Chao's sharp eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to discover the existence of this team at all!
"It's really okay, they're all dressed like this, no wonder you can't find it!" Yaksha put down the binoculars and said to Zhang Weiguo with a smile!
Zhang Weiguo hadn't seen the enemy's position clearly until now, and when he heard Yaksha say this, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly! But I have a little more respect for this team of special forces in my heart! After all, people will find clues as soon as they come!
"It's not far from the front-line troops, that is, more than fifty kilometers away!"
Yaksha looked at the rain-proof plastic map he had with him, compared the distance on it, and said worriedly, "The enemy's reconnaissance detachment has arrived here, it seems that they are intent on launching a sneak attack on our attacking troops!" Perhaps, a large army of the enemy is nearby! ”
Yaksha's words made Zhang Weiguo great! If that's the case, then the big force is in danger! Just as he was about to say something, Yaksha had already reached out to stop him!
Yaksha pointed to the team in front of him and said softly, "Look, they're retreating!" Did you find us? ”
Everyone immediately fell silent! They were in a hilly area with undulating ground! And the terrain they are staying in at the moment is relatively high, and it is normal to be discovered by the enemy!
Everyone lowered their bodies, even their heads were on the ground! Enduring the heat of the scorching ground, Yaksha propped his chin on the ground, leaving only two eyes to wander, constantly watching the movements of the enemy team!
After looking at it for a long time, Yaksha shook his head, raised his head again, and said, "No, they didn't notice us?" ”
"How can you be so sure?" Zhang Weiguo couldn't help but ask on the side!
"They retreated very regularly, if they found us, they should flee in a hurry, exposing the target is not the habit of the reconnaissance team!" Yaksha said lightly!
Zhang Weiguo thought about it, if he was replaced and the enemy was discovered, under ordinary reconnaissance conditions, he would definitely choose to evacuate with the team! The reconnaissance mission is not a battle, the most important thing is to send the information back!
"Keep up with them!" Yaksha smiled slightly, pointed to the team that was starting to withdraw, and said, "They should take us where we want to go!" The enemy's large forces must be hiding nearby! ”
In the distance, the Yaksha cautiously opened a distance of nearly two kilometers with the retreating enemy detachment, judging the direction of their retreat almost by the shallow footprints that the other side deliberately covered!
Although there are no sandstorms in the desert on the Gobi! But the wind and sand are also very strong, and these scouts are very ghostly, and they deliberately swept away the footprints! The rest can't be swept away, as long as it takes less than half an hour, nature will help them deal with the aftermath perfectly!
After about an hour of travel, there is a poplar forest ten kilometers away!
And in the poplar forest, there is a stretch of hill pack!
The hill bag is at most a five-story high building, but it is like a natural barrier across the Gobi, like a black jade belt, decorating the monotonous Gobi with a beautiful touch of color!
The figure in the poplar forest swayed, but it was impossible to see what was going on inside!
The Yaksha and the others lurk about two kilometers away from the poplar forest, and their advance in broad daylight is very easy to be detected by the enemy, and only by waiting for the night to come can they hope to touch it and see the truth!
"Notify all search teams!" Yaksha whispered to Zhang Weiguo: "Everyone quickly gather here!" Let's go in and have a look! ”
