The race date is set for July 15th, and the start of July is due to the start of the country, and it is now the end of June.

In a few days to go, we had a meeting with eight people selected by the whole team to get to know each other. The main reason is that Lian'er and I are known to them, they are a brigade, and they have been crawling and rolling in a trench for several years.

We are strangers to them, and they are to us. Although Lian'er's shooting results have long been famous in the brigade, her shooting and capture skills do not mean that she is strong in other aspects.

So those eight people didn't have any faith in either of us.

Last month, we were still walking in the queue in the recruit pile, and it took a few 'turns' to adjust to walk in unison, but it's only been a few days? Going to compete in the International Scout Contest together? Won't hold them back, will you?

There is a saying in the troops: it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it. The most direct and easiest way to recognize is to take a 30-kilometer armed off-road.

The captain and the political commissar also thought the same, why don't you just run ten people together? Run, run, run!

Then everyone dispersed, went back to get the equipment, and then gathered in the playground, and set off together on a few warriors.

Five kilometers out of the camp, a few warriors stopped, the orderlies set up their tents, and several leaders sat under the tents to watch us.

Fifteen kilometers east from here is a reservoir, from here, go around the reservoir, and come back just thirty kilometers.

The captain waved his hand, and the ten people set off. The eight veterans ran to the front with a 'whoop', while Lian'er and I walked hand in hand.

When the eight people in front of me ran without a trace, Lian'er and I looked at each other and smiled, and I launched the wall-piercing technique first, and after the two rose and fell, I chased and killed them.

The eight people looked back and saw that they had run seven or eight kilometers, and when they looked back, they saw that the two of us were still holding hands and walking slowly.

Several people ran forward in panic like a big girl had been touched on the buttocks. They rushed forward again, not believing that they could not get rid of us.

Lian'er and I found a shade to sit down, put down our backpacks, opened the kettle to drink, nibbled on a compressed biscuit, and Lian'er said let's go!

After a few ups and downs, I caught up with them again, and just reached the edge of the reservoir. Lian'er said that the water is very clean, let's wash our faces, shall we?

I put down my backpack, washed the sweat off my hands, and wiped my face again. Lian'er found a shade to hide from the sun, so I picked up the stones and floated in the water.

The eight men ran to the opposite side and saw us playing in the water from a distance to avoid the shade, and also stopped to drink water and rest. When they saw us pick up our backpacks again, they hurried off again.

This time, it was Lian'er who took me, and after crossing the other side of the reservoir, we followed them from a distance. When they ran away, Lian'er caught up with them after a few more ups and downs.

When we saw the captain's tent in the distance, we began to run slowly. When they all reached the finish line, we had another sprint, and there was only a few minutes left.

Eight people left all their equipment on the ground, lying on the ground while fanning and drinking water. Lian'er and I put our backpacks away and took out water to drink.

"Lian'er, you're sweating, come, I'll wipe it for you."

"Hmm!" Lian'er nodded and smiled, and glanced back at them on the ground. This time she used the wall-piercing technique, and naturally sweated a lot.

I wiped off Lian'er's sweat with my sleeve, and the captain and political commissar came over, and he said curiously, Why aren't you sweating? I said I didn't sweat much.

This 30-kilometer armed cross-country was considered to have passed, and it was also recognized by eight other people.

The next day, we set off to gather in the capital, we all changed into summer clothes, got on a minibus and set off. When a few people in the car saw Lian'er who had changed into regular clothes, their eyes were also straight.

Lian'er rested her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes.

There was also a team of army members in the capital, and this time we stayed in the same army guest house, and then twenty people gathered together for a meeting.

The content of the meeting was to watch and analyze the combat skills and characteristics of the green beret. Everyone knows that the green beret will move in this tournament, so be mentally prepared in advance.

Of these twenty people, only one of me was a captain, the other two lieutenants were captains, two second lieutenants were vice-captains, and the rest were all professional sergeants, all veterans of four to eight years.

This time, we had to face the green berets of the US army, so they sent veterans with combat experience in order to seek stability.

Although I have been recruited for several years, I have never been in the army, and although Lian'er is a second lieutenant, she is actually a recruit who has been in the army for less than three months.

The video projected in the conference room is the film and television data of the US special forces collected over the years. After watching it for a few hours, everyone had a preliminary understanding of the equipment and tactics of the US military.

This time, when we went out to compete, the army also planned to equip us with the best individual equipment in China.

These include two sets of small drones, as well as super Bluetooth equipment that can communicate with each other within five kilometers, and two Taiwan bucket satellite phones to call for rescue.

In terms of weapons, each of the two teams has an 88-type sniper. Shoot guns, and the rest are with Type 95 light machines. Gun. Because the machine gun has a long barrel and a long range, and it uses a 75-round drum and 5.8mm interconnected bullets.

Early the next morning, we flew with military planes to Moscow, and from Moscow to the Murmansk region. Russia is the largest country in the world, and their capital, Russia, is located very close to Europe. Their Far East, on the contrary, is sparsely populated, and of course Russia itself is not very populous.

Russia has a land area of more than 17.09 million square kilometers, which is almost the size of two Chinese countries. But they have a population of only 146 million people, with an area of almost 9 square kilometres per capita.

Moreover, most of the population of Russia is concentrated in Moscow, which is very close to the European countries, and the Far East is full of old people. Young people in the Far East are particularly scarce, and after they came out of school, they went to Moscow to work.

This is the first time that Russia has held an international scout contest on its own soil. In previous years, it was held in a small country called **Shania.

However, Russia's Murmansk Oblast, in the northwest of Russia, faces the Barents Sea, borders Finland and Norway, and its economy is okay.

Norway won't talk about it, that's a reverse. Hua country.

Finland is a country that is very friendly to China, and there are many Finnish beauties because they have some Chinese blood. Therefore, the body shape and face shape of the Finns are very similar to those of the Chinese. Although the Finns are white-haired Caucasians, their faces are very suitable for the aesthetics of the Chinese.

The above is all off-topic. The region we are going to in Murmansk is next to Finland, and knowing this will help us a lot in the competition.

The plane landed at a dilapidated airfield in the Murmansk region.

Don't look at the poor in Russia, but there are three airports in the Murmansk region. A military airfield, a large international airport, and a small airfield for domestic flights.

Because we are a foreign army, we cannot land at other people's military airfields. Only a landing at a small airport where they fly to the country is arranged.

All the foreign troops who participated in the competition landed at this small dilapidated airport, and then a bus pulled us to the garrison more than 300 kilometers away.

The Murmansk region, which is almost the size of our Xinjiang region in China, has a population of only 750,000, which is truly vast and sparsely populated. 750,000 people, equivalent to the population of one of our coastal counties.

This oblast, located in the north of Russia, is full of stone mountains and primeval forests, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the whole state grows like a big tongue.

It took five hours of bus ride to reach a small city called Kandaraksha. Sitting in the car made our legs numb, and as soon as we got off the ground, we were a little spinning.

The camp is more than 30 temporary tents built on flat land in the suburbs, two rows. Each team was assigned a large tent with only ten iron beds and no bedding.

Lian'er and I took two iron frame beds at the side, then put down our backpacks and sat on the beds to rest.

After two days of flying and bus, Lian'er's face was not very good, so she lay down and rested. Lian'er was the only woman in the two teams of Huaxia soldiers, so the captain didn't say anything.

Women and men have different physiques, so it is also appropriate to take care of women.

Because I have to wait for the players of other countries, I can rest for these two days, and the official start of the game is at 0:00 the day after tomorrow.

Yes, the game starts at 12 o'clock the night after tomorrow, everyone plays during the day, but the scout game starts at 12 o'clock in the evening.

So we can still take time to rest and adjust to the jet lag during these two days.

In addition to the U.S. military, most of the participating team members are NATO members in Northern Europe. Isn't that ridiculous? Russia and NATO are two mortal rivals, and they are actually playing together. In previous years, Russia has participated in this international scout competition, but in this neighbor's house in Estonia.

According to internal information, in addition to targeting the soldiers of Huaxia this time, the US military also wants to attack the members of the two Russian detachments.

Therefore, Russia specially invited everyone to come to its house this year to have fun, hoping to use its field brigade to rub these 22 green berets of the United States on the ground.

In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, we are ready to unite the two Russian teams.

Now the competition is not important in our eyes, in previous years we have won several team championships, this time our two teams are ready to have fun with the US army's green berets.

The captain opened several large metal crates, which were our equipment. He asked one man to guard the door and began to distribute equipment.

We changed into forest camouflage, put on helmets, and then we got our guns and ammunition.

I was assigned a Type 95 light machine gun, and Lian'er was a ***** gun. Then there's the headset, which is much like an MP3 with a wireless headset that is said to be interoperable for up to five kilometers.

Generally, Bluetooth is ten meters away, but this is high-tech, a host as big as MP3, the standby time is a month.

I tried the headphones, everyone can talk, my call sign is 09, Lian'er's call sign is 10.

Having received two drums, which were 150 rounds, I stuffed the spare drums into my backpack. Lian'er's Type 88 magazine is a magazine of ten rounds, and I left her three magazines, and the rest are stuffed into my backpack.

Seeing that there were still two pieces of cucumber-sized equipment left in the iron box, the captain and the deputy captain each took one. I bumped into my comrade-in-arms next to me and asked what it was? He said it was a small **.

Small**? And such a small **?

The U.S. military has a kind of **, called "spike" miniature **, which is only 60 centimeters long and the size of a cucumber. The weight is five pounds, and the range is two thousand meters.

And my country has also developed such a small **, and the effect is about the same. This kind of ** called the 'Hidden Blade' is only forty centimeters long, but it weighs eight pounds.

After distributing the equipment, our observers came over and brought us maps. There was only one map, and we took turns looking at the map and writing down the main references.

After staying at the camp for one night, the next afternoon, more team members came to compete. When it was my turn to stand guard, it was already bustling outside.

The foreign army competition was not as serious as ours, and we still had a sentry at the gate, but as soon as the foreign army put things down, they walked around.

They wore camouflage pants of various colors, and their tops were all kinds of casual clothes. After eating, you chat loudly at the door, walk around, and chat loudly when you meet people you know.

Opposite is our army's tent, and there is also a sentry at the door, and when foreign troops pass by the door, they will take a strange look at our two tents. Why is it so quiet?

More than a dozen big men walked in the distance, pushing and shoving all the way, pushing away the foreign troops who were blocking the way. When these foreign soldiers saw these dozen big men, they didn't dare to squeak, and silently gave way, and their voices were a little quieter.

The big men came up to me, and there were a few white men in front of me, with yellow hair and blue eyes, big and muscular.

In the middle were a few black men, as black as charcoal, and a smile was two rows of big white teeth. At the end were two yellow people, which surprised me a little.

One looked like he was of Indian descent and the other was completely Asian. I don't know if this guy is from our Huaxia?

"Huaxia?" The white man at the head stared at me and asked in a strange tone. I ignored him, and he took another step forward, getting closer to me, and could smell a strong fox smell.

I took a step back, kept my distance from him, glared at him and yelled, "Go away!" ”

The white man glared at me, and the team members had rules that they couldn't fight in the camp, otherwise they would be disqualified.

Behind the door, Lian'er heard me arguing with someone, so she ran out to see. Then there was a 'bang' in the back, and everyone crowded to the door, and the scene was tense for a while.

The people behind the white man also gathered around with a 'whoop', and a few black people were still coaxing.

The foreign troops in the vicinity all looked to this side, and the Russian army blew the whistle in the distance, and the onlookers dispersed.

The white man glanced back at the Russian army in the distance, he glared at me, raised his hand and tugged at his neck. I understand this action, which means to kill me.

He made this gesture to me and led the group away. The guy standing guard across from me gave me a thumbs up, and I nodded at him.

The captain squeezed out and asked me what had happened? I said it's okay, these should be the green berets of the US military, probably coming to recognize people.

A teammate spat at the group of people who were far away, and cursed in his mouth, yellow-skinned and white-hearted.

There are a few Chinese who want to get a green card in the United States, so they will join the US military and fight in various places. Such a person, on the surface, is Chinese, but in fact he is American.

If you see it on the battlefield, you should kill these people first, otherwise you will be very injured.

After dinner, we sorted out our belongings and got ready to go.

The food of the Russian army is very caloric, a bit like a stew in the Northeast. Meatballs, potatoes, beef, vegetables, bread are staple foods, as well as beverages. After this meal, it will be a week before there is a hot meal.

This week can only eat canned and compressed dry food. However, there are still a lot of packaged foods in my bag, so you can change the taste when you get tired of eating.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, a truck came to pull people. Fifteen trucks, pulled us to the starting point, put us down and left. We were in the car with a Finnish scout, who was friendly to us and invited us to set off with us.

The captain rejected them, watched them go away, and began to contact his teammates on the army side. Our army teammates said they were waiting for us on the mountainside in front, so we packed up and set off for the mountainside.

The first step is through the jungle, there is an observation post twenty kilometers away, and it is necessary to arrive at the observation post at six in the morning to pass the first level.

The trek through the jungle is just a warm-up, and there are many trials ahead of us.

We ran to the foot of the hill ahead of us by the light of the stars. There was a flashlight on the mountainside for a minute, and it was a comrade-in-arms of the army. ran to the foot of the mountain and met a team of foreigners, but everyone was silent and hurried silently.

The foreigner walked around the foot of the mountain, and we went up the mountain. As soon as you enter the woodland, it is dark and you can't see anything. The vice-captain led the way in front, and on his chest and under his backpack, there was a small dim green light, barely able to see underground. The team members in front turn turn on the small green light under the backpack so that everyone can see the road under their feet. The captain followed, and we soon joined up with our brothers from the Army.

The army also has a strong ability to survive in the wild, which is a compulsory subject for them. So after we met with them, we silently followed them.

The road is made through cracks in the stones, and although it is difficult to walk, there is a lot of marshland at the foot of the mountain, which is even more difficult to walk at night.

We walked silently through the mountainside, except for the occasional clash of guns, and no one spoke.

I diverged my consciousness and noticed that there was a large animal a few hundred meters ahead, and I didn't know what it was. Quickly found the captain, he listened to it and was skeptical, but still notified the captain of the army using Bluetooth.

The people in front of them all turned around and climbed up the hill to avoid the large animal and avoid trouble.

We climbed more than 100 meters with our hands and feet when we heard the howl and gunfire of someone below:

"Ahh ......, Bah, Bah, Bah! ”
