The sky lit up in the drift of goose feathers and heavy snow. The snow has been falling since midnight, and the snow is more than half a meter thick, and the mountains and rivers are covered in silvery white. The trees stood motionless with huge snow-white hats, and the ground, with no weeds or dead leaves, was unprecedentedly clean. On the snow, a slippery ravine winds through the forest, so that the flat and white ground is cut out of discordant wounds. Snowflakes are trying to heal these scars and let them fade slowly.

These traces were left by animals that fled the wildfire area last night. And, of course, the footprints of people.

Liu Zhong and the others completely lost their direction, and probably headed south, advancing in the thick snow, and they didn't care about resting all night.

The helicopter who answered the border asked a few times, but Liu Zhong and they couldn't determine the direction they were in, and they couldn't even give the direction in which the helicopter searched.

Liu Zhong shook his head, shook off the snow on his shoulders, and looked back to see that the team members were already tired, especially those who followed him to Tomsk, and they were even more tired.

"Rest in place, a team is responsible for guarding, don't light a fire!"

With his order, the team members quickly separated, and the team that went to Siberia to carry out the mission separated a dozen people and went to the surroundings to guard the surroundings, and the others took out jerky and compressed biscuits, and used the cold water in the kettle, and slowly chewed on them.

None of them sat down, and although it was not so cold at this time, the temperature was also more than 20 degrees below zero, and they would freeze when they sat down.

Liu Zhong chewed on the jerky, and just wanted to take out the map, then smiled. Gave up.

He doesn't even know where he is now, so it's useful to look at a map?

Just as he was about to discuss with Nori Khan whether to rest or continue on his journey, a report came from the guards dispatched.

"Prepare for battle!"

Liu Zhong stuffed half of the jerky into his pocket, shouted, picked up the kettle and took a sip. Quickly run in the direction of reporting to the team.

In front of this place is a long hillside, and the tall trees make the view much clearer, at least two or three hundred meters away.

Liu Zhong ran to the guard team members dozens of meters, and as soon as he got closer, he understood the origin of the team members' statement that there was an enemy comprehensive.

In the snow, a few tracks snaked through the woods, and the direction was exactly the direction they were traveling. The footprints are very clear, and the snow marks that have just been waded up have not been covered by the snowflakes, which shows that. These people have just passed.

Liu Zhong looked at the direction of disappearance, groaned, and said when Nuori Khan arrived at his side: "The number of people is more than a hundred, it should be the strength of a battalion, we avoid the direction they are traveling and stagger a few kilometers." ”

Nuori Khan observed the traces left on the ground and nodded and said: "This group of people left no more than half an hour, and the direction is to go to the border, and we don't know whether we deviate from the direction or not." But there's nothing wrong with the roughly southern, if you stagger the group. Will it crash into the sight of the other team? ”

Liu Zhong squatted down and said: "Avoid these people for sure, at present, the enemy does not know that there will be us in this mountain, otherwise they will not march in three teams, each team is one or twenty meters apart, and they will spread out to search." ”

With a sigh of relief, he continued, "Did you crash into their ranks?" For the time being, we can only rely on luck and try to avoid fighting. ”

Nori Khan didn't have a better way, he nodded and said, "According to the direction of travel, let's go to the left, as long as we don't get out of the mountains." There won't be a big problem. ”

Liu Zhong looked left and right, nodded in agreement, and ordered: "After the rest is over, let's go." ”

Following his order, the procession moved forward amid the snowflakes, and the direction, staggered from the slippery tracks, deviating two or three kilometers.

Along the way, the speed of the march was not fast, Nuori Khan took the lead, Liu Zhongdian and the group were also three teams, marching in unison, searching and hurrying forward.

In front of them, about a dozen kilometers away, several bonfires were burning, and hundreds of Soviet and Russian soldiers were roasting their shoes and socks by the fire, waiting for boiling water to warm their bodies. They searched in this forest for half a night, but Mao did not find it, and were resting and waiting for further orders.

Liu Zhong and the others didn't know that the direction in which they were traveling was the direction in which the footprints were left behind camping.

As he went, Nori Khan suddenly sniffled and raised his fist.

The marching team crouched down with a roar, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed outward.

Liu Zhong asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" ”

"Captain, it smells of burning wood."

Bonfire?

Liu Zhong was stunned and quickly rushed to the front team, and in the gesture of Nuori Khan, he waved his hand and led the three team members to touch forward.

Soon, in a low-lying area, he saw the light of the fire, and also saw the team of three or four hundred people there.

What's this close to?

Liu Zhong summed up in his heart, quietly retreated, returned to the team with a hand, waved his hand and ordered, bypassed the front, and continued to move forward.

Having discovered the enemy, the team members were more cautious when marching, avoiding the enemy who was camping, and staggered two or three kilometers again, marching quickly.

After encountering the first wave of the enemy, they did not walk for an hour, and in front, once again spotted the enemy, and as a last resort, the team continued to change direction, deviated from the original direction of travel, and bypassed this group of enemies.

Liu Zhong and the others actually encountered five waves of enemies in a row, either hurrying or resting, which made Liu Zhong more cautious. Once shots are fired, enemies will quickly surround the area.

The procession marched silently, and suddenly, the head of the Nori Khan crouched down again.

But this time they were not so lucky, they were already only a few dozen meters away from the Soviet Russian soldiers, and at the stall where Nori Khan squatted, the team marching in the distance also saw a vague figure here, although it disappeared in a flash, but they were obviously suspicious.

Lying in the snow, Liu Zhong listened to the sound that was getting closer and closer, and he knew that the battle could not be avoided.

"Strangled the enemy as fast as you could!"

With Liu Zhong's order, the team members suddenly knelt down, and then, the sound of popping sounded intensively.

The Russian soldiers who were close to thirty or forty meters were knocked down by the dense bullets, and one by one their figures fell to the ground suddenly.

But after all, there are a large number of opponents, and it is not possible to clean up in one or two rounds.

After a brief moment of stunnedness, the Russian soldiers quickly threw themselves down, or leaned against the trees, and then the gunfire rang out intensively.

After one round of blows, the fighters flew grenades one after another, flying forward, and with it, the second round of fire broke out again in the explosion.

The counterattack of the Russian soldiers was very hasty, although the distance was not far, but the accuracy was negligible, plus the Mogan who pulled the bolt, before the second round of fire, they were driven out of the ground from behind the trees by a dense explosion, and then they were hit by bullets.

Liu Zhong had already jumped up in the grenade explosion, and flew forward in the snow falling overhead, and then, in the sound of poof, he carried a semi-automatic gun in one hand and a shell gun in the other, shooting quickly, and when the soldiers arrived, the remaining thirty or so soldiers were all cleaned up.

"Leave the thunder, let's retreat!"

Liu Zhong ordered while replenishing the guns of several seriously wounded, but still breathing Soviet Russian soldiers.

The team quickly searched for grenades on the corpse, and then one by one the mines were arranged around, and in just one minute, the team rushed away in less than a year old.

It had not been ten minutes since they had been running out, and several explosions sounded behind them, and it was clear that the enemy had already arrived at the position of the shootout and touched the treacherous mine.

In the snow, if they fail to stealth, they will be pursued endlessly, and everyone knows that they must move forward as quickly as possible and jump out of the encirclement.

"A group of a few treacherous mines left!"

Liu Zhong shouted as he ran wildly.

The group with slightly better physical strength quickly left a few people, leaving a few tricky mines in the forest, and then chased after the large army.

Liu Zhong didn't know if there was an enemy in front of him, but the snow didn't stop, and in the forest, his vision was obstructed, and he couldn't see too far, so he could only be alert and run quickly.

They ran smoothly for more than ten minutes again, and the sound of explosions was heard again behind them.

The snow was falling overhead, so that Liu Zhong and the others couldn't see a hundred meters away.

"Leave the thunder, eleven o'clock!"

In the snow falling overhead, Liu Zhong pointed ahead of him and ordered a change of direction.

The team abruptly changed direction in the falling snow, slanted, and continued to run.

Behind them, a group of three or four hundred people only chased after them buried in the snow, but there were faintly recognizable traces, and at the same time, walkie-talkies called out to report the direction of the enemy's escape.

Liu Zhong couldn't care about listening to the other party's communications at this time, they had to get out of here as quickly as possible and jump out of the encirclement, otherwise, they might not be able to hold out until the response came, and they would be annihilated by the army.

When Liu Zhong was chased and was already faintly about to be surrounded, he was received by a helicopter at the border.

Mezhdurechensk?

The flight captain who was in charge of answering Liu Zhong found this location on the map in confusion, and found that southeast of Novokuznetsk, there was at least forty or fifty kilometers away from the direction in which Liu Zhong and the others were traveling, and it was not the direction in which Liu Zhong and the others were traveling at all.

The distance is 300 kilometers, and the walkie-talkie is ineffective......

The captain pondered for a moment, and then reported the situation to command.

When Dong Ku received the telegram, he didn't even think about it, and directly ordered: "Order your flight detachment to fly directly in that direction, and I will send other detachments to rush to you to take over the task." ”

"Yes!"

Fifteen helicopters, with a roar of snowflakes in the sky, left the border and flew towards Mezhdurechensk, as mentioned in the enemy's telegram, and it was estimated that they would arrive in about an hour.

Just when the plane took off, a group of enemies appeared in front of Liu Zhong and them, and the number of them was also a battalion, two or three hundred people, and now the woods were spread out and searched for Liu Zhong and their side, obviously, it was a misjudgment of the direction in which Liu Zhong and them were traveling.

Squatting in the snow, Liu Zhong looked at the shadowy black shadows in the distance, and he knew that he was trapped, and how many people were there around. (To be continued......)
