As the sun sets, the entire western sky is reflected red.

A crack suddenly cracked in the middle of a ridge slope deep in Daba Mountain, and then the gap became bigger and bigger, and a concrete airstrip slowly appeared at the lower end of the gap.

Not long after, the roar of an airplane sounded, and on the runway, the Y-6 transport plane roared into the sky.

With the lift-off of the Y-6 transport plane, the gap above the runway slowly closed, and after a while, the entire gap disappeared without a trace.

Viewed from above, the slope of the ridge does not seem to have changed in any way.

……

At the same time, inside the cabin of the Y-6 transport plane, looking at the heavily armed members of the Shadow Blade with nervous faces, Xie Lei said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's just a small-scale battle, your first task is to see blood, and at the same time learn to adapt to the battlefield full of gunsmoke." ”

Seeing that his words successfully attracted the attention of the team members, Xie Lei smiled and said: "The brother troops who fought side by side with us this time are all veterans who have been on the battlefield and have very rich combat experience. ”

Maybe it was Xie Lei's words that worked, or maybe it was the Shadow Strikers who overcame their nervousness.

I saw that the faces of the team members gradually relaxed, and they were no longer as nervous as they were just now.

Time passed slowly, and after about three hours, the Y-6 transport plane slowly descended into the clouds.

As the Y-6 transport plane slowly stopped, on the apron of a military airport somewhere in the Northeast Military Region, Xie Lei and Li Mu and his party slowly walked out of the cabin.

Not far from the Y-6 transport plane, two military trucks had been waiting for a long time.

There was no extra waste of time, and the group boarded the military truck, and with the roar of a motor, Li Mu and they set foot on the transition again.

After another hour or so, two military trucks stopped on the outskirts of a makeshift camp.

I saw that the camp was brightly lit, and there were officers hurrying in and out.

Around the camp, teams of heavily armed guards patrolled back and forth.

Xie Lei Li Mu and the others, who had just gotten out of the car, were led into a temporary conference room by a four-pocket officer before they could rest after their identities were confirmed.

At this time, more than a dozen officers in the conference room had been waiting for a long time, and in front of the conference room, a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform with a resolute face was sitting in the middle.

He is the former enemy commander-in-chief of this battle, Mr. Xiao.

Seeing Xie Lei and Li Mu and their arrival, Mr. Xiao straightened up, coughed and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start." ”

While speaking, Mr. Xiao asked the service staff next to him to distribute a stack of materials to the hands of each participant.

Li Mu and the others, who took over the information, looked at it fixedly, the number of words was not much, and it was summed up in one sentence:

A certain country in the north hyped up the news that "Xia Guo withdrew from the Golden Island", and openly advertised that if Xia troops went to the island again, they would use firepower to solve it.

Golden Island, 46°29'1.19"N, 133°50'39.03"E.

Since ancient times, it has been the boundary of the Xia Kingdom and an inseparable part of the Xia Kingdom!

Seeing that all the officers and soldiers knew about it, Mr. Xiao's face froze, and he said without anger: "This is nonsense!" ”

"In order to smash the lies of a certain country in the north, and in order to maintain the sovereignty of the Xia country's borders, the superiors instructed to resume patrolling the Golden Island region from tomorrow!"

"At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, two patrol groups will land on the island on time, and the first patrol group will be led by the head of the Golden Island Boundary Defense Station to patrol the island from the central part!"

"The second patrol group is led by the deputy head of the Golden Island Boundary Defense Station, and there is a patrol on the southern island!"

As soon as Mr. Xiao's words fell, two dark-faced and burly officers quickly stood up and accepted the task.

It is the chief and deputy stationmaster of the Golden Island Boundary Defense Station.

Seeing that the two of them accepted the task with resolute faces, Mr. Xiao nodded solemnly, and then said:

"In order to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on our patrol troops, I ordered a platoon (the pseudonym of Shadow Feng) prepared by the special reconnaissance company and the militia to land on the island and lurk at nine o'clock tonight."

As soon as Mr. Xiao's voice fell, the commander of the spy reconnaissance company and Xie Lei quickly stood up and said yes, saying that they would resolutely complete the task.

Hearing the words of the two, Mr. Xiao waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and then said:

"At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, if the enemy dares to attack our patrol group, we must resolutely deal a fatal blow to the enemy! However, it should be noted that our unit resolutely did not fire the first shot, and must wait until the enemy has fired before returning fire. And to win! Be reasonable, beneficial, and responsible! ”

As soon as Mr. Xiao's words fell, a group of officers and soldiers in the temporary conference room quickly stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Please rest assured, the chief, to ensure that the task is completed!" ”

……

With the end of the meeting, Xie Lei Li Mu and others went to the temporary canteen under the leadership of the commander of the special reconnaissance company, and after replenishing water and supplies, they quickly went to the combat readiness material supply point to receive the lurking clothes and prepare to set off.

Taking advantage of the gap before departure, the company commander of the special reconnaissance company seriously briefed Li Mu on the characteristics of local winter operations and anti-freezing preparations.

This is the famous slip of the tongue - "wear a cover on your ears, wear a hat on your face, tie a padded jacket on your trouser belt, copy your hands in your arms, don't be lazy on duty at night, and don't sleep when you're sleepy and drink." ”

Because the anti-freezing skills of the troops are still at the stage of experience guiding actions, and in some places they even violate science, but these soil experiences still improve the durability of the troops.

In March, the night temperature on the Golden Island is as low as minus 30 degrees, which is very cold.

With the experience of the commander of the spy reconnaissance company, the time soon came to nine o'clock in the evening.

Mr. Xiao came to the place where the spy reconnaissance company and Xie Lei Li Mu were ready to set off, looking at the soldiers with resolute faces, Mr. Xiao poured a bowl of chili water for them one by one, and at the same time poured a bowl himself, raised his hands to his chest, and said with a serious expression: "Here I will replace the wine with water, toast you, and wish you a smooth landing on the island and a victorious return." ”

As he spoke, Mr. Xiao dried the chili water in his hand in one gulp, and seeing this situation, all the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance company and Xie Lei Li Mu and their twenty-one members of the shadow blade also dried the chili water in their hands with serious faces.

With the chili water entering the throat, a warm current permeated the body and mind, and in the cold night of minus 30 degrees, Li Mu and the others actually had a feeling of being in spring.

The night was quiet, the moon was hidden in the stars, and under the cover of the night, the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance company and Xie Lei Li Mu quietly crossed the already frozen river, successfully landed on the Golden Island, and then hid and ambushed.

Time passed minute by minute, the haze of war shrouded in the curtain, and the curtain slowly opened.
