Lao Qian obviously didn't like me to call him Qian Da/Master, he dusted his body and said, "Mobile phone! After the ridge in front of you, you can basically only use it as an alarm clock. ”

I said "oh", but who knew that Lao Qian said to me again: "Young man, if you don't want to call me Lao Qian, you can call me Brother Qian." I'm only forty-five years old, not much older than you, why do you call me Uncle Qian? ”

I was stunned, I really didn't associate his age with his appearance.

Lao Zhao glared at me, changed the topic and said to Lao Qian: "Comrade Lao Qian, how do you think we can search more reasonably?" ”

Old Qian was obviously very excited to see that we had brought so many soldiers. He lifted his hat and said to us, "My suggestion is that we can split into three ways. All the way from here to the left, follow the line around the bend to find it. Along the way, draw an S shape from here, and you can find the past. The last way, from this side to the right, is also a detour, if these three roads have not found people, then I have no other way. As he spoke, he pointed to the map in detail to show us, and Zhao Jinfu immediately drew it with a pen.

I looked at the three routes on the map, pointed to the one on the right, and said, "I can lead the group on this road." ”

Zhao Jin helped me over and pushed me back, ignoring my fork at all. To the other two platoon commanders, he said: "Platoon leader, you take twenty fighters to take charge of the left route. Three platoon commanders, you take twenty fighters to be responsible for changing the route. I'll take the rest of the people on this S route. The driver stayed in the car and forbade any tourists to enter the mountain until we returned. Two communications corps units are responsible for positioning systems and communications equipment to ensure the smooth flow of our travel routes and communications. Finally, he turned back to me and said, "You! Come with me! ”

Then he said to Lao Qian: "Comrade Lao Qian, do you see which way you help us lead?" ”

Lao Qian was admiring the 95 automatic rifles carried by the soldiers, and when he heard Zhao Jinfu ask him, he turned around and said: "The right side is relatively easy to walk, I will follow the left road, there are many forks in the road here, I will not go wrong with it." ”

Zhao Jinfu said hello, patted the front cover of the car, and shouted to the communication soldiers in the car: "How is it?" Is it positioned? ”

The signal soldier said: "Report! Give me another 30 seconds. ”

Zhao Jinfu looked at me with an angry face, took out a cigarette with a smile, gave one to Lao Qian and me, and said: "This is the last cigarette before the operation, and you can't smoke it again when you enter the forest!" Then he shook the cigarette case, then squeezed it hard, threw it far back, and said, "I don't want to smoke it!" ”

I lit a cigarette with a grunt, took two puffs, and ignored him.

Within 30 seconds, the correspondent poked his head out of the car and said, "Report, positioning complete." ”

Together with the others, I opened the electronic map fixed on my left arm, checked it with the map marked by Lao Qian, and after confirming that it was correct, I closed the electronic map.

Old Qian looked at this thing on our arms and was very curious, and asked, "What is this?" ”

I opened the electronic map again, held it up in front of his eyes and said to him: "This is the electronic map, it has entered the direction you just pointed to us, and the satellite will locate our location, so we will not go wrong and get lost." ”

Lao Qian probably didn't expect our equipment to be so advanced, and said in surprise: "Then with this thing, you don't need me at all!" ”

Zhao Jinfu smiled and praised him and said, "This thing is dead, how can it be accurate with your experience?" We are just a reference, and the specific ones are subject to the opinions you give. ”

Lao Qian nodded seriously, looked at the heavily armed soldiers with backpacks on their backs, and said with a smile: "With you young men carrying guns, even if you spend the night in the forest, you are not afraid of wild beasts!" ”

Pulling out my cigarette, I picked up my backpack. Insert a magazine into the gun, check that the weapon is correct, confirm that the safety is turned off, and stuff the gun back into the holster.

I practiced this set of movements almost every day in the army, and I couldn't be more familiar with it.

The other fighters also loaded their bullets and checked their weapons before departure. There was a "bang, bang, bang" on the bullet and the bolt of the gun, and the fighters, who were divided into three groups, stood silently, waiting for the next order.

Lao Qian looked at it with interest, and he had the urge to try it too.

Zhao Jinfu saw that everyone was on standby, waved his hand, and said very imposingly: "Let's go!" ”

Lao Qian hurriedly took two puffs of cigarette farts in his hand, then reluctantly threw them away, stepped on them fiercely, and followed the team of soldiers led by the platoon leader on the left towards the forest.

Seeing that the two groups of people on the left and right had already entered the forest, Zhao Jinfu took a step forward and set off.

I knew that Lao Zhao thought that I had no field experience, and didn't dare to let me lead the team alone, although I was not convinced, but I also knew that Lao Zhao was kind, and I would not really be angry with him, so I obediently followed him and walked towards the forest.

People who have not been to a primeval forest simply cannot understand what a primeval forest is. In many people's minds, forests are nothing more than more trees.

I can tell you responsibly that the trees in the park are not at the same level as the trees in the primeval forest. The park is all artificially planted, and the varieties are uniform, and the density is not high, at least you can shuttle around freely in it.

The reason why there is a primeval forest in front of it is that these trees all grow naturally, without intervals, without rules, and they can grow as they want. And the density is very high, almost you can't see anything else inside, it's all trees of different thicknesses.

If you come here at the peak of the trees, you won't be able to see the sunlight overhead. Maybe the sun is shining outside, but it's gloomy here.

When we first entered the forest, I didn't think there was anything special, that is, it was a little difficult to climb the mountain with a weight of more than 10 kilograms. But after walking up a hill, I found that the road was getting harder and harder. Not only are the trees gradually becoming denser, but some slopes cannot be crossed by just two feet, so you have to grab on to the branches to cross them.

In this way, we still walked the road that the nearby villagers often walked, as Lao Qian said.

Looking at the path under my feet, which was only half a meter long, I wiped the sweat from my head and realized why there are so few tourists here, this is not a place for people.

Zhao Jinfu also turned around and said to me with a smile: "This is your boy's life, it hasn't rained in the past few days, otherwise it is estimated that you will not be able to stand." ”

I didn't think much of him when he began to tell me how difficult the march was in the primeval forest, but now I believed it, and I chose to remain silent about his ridicule.

As if it was a bit unexpected that I didn't lift the bar with him, Zhao Jin stopped in front of him, and when I caught up, he walked side by side with me and said to me, "What's wrong?" It's rare that you didn't talk back this time? ”

After stepping on a dirt slope with all my might, I smiled and said to him, "Your weakness is that you have to talk nonsense on all occasions. My consciousness is much higher than yours, and I only have tasks in my heart now, and I don't have time to fight with you. ”

Zhao Jinfu snorted, walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the front, and ignored me.

At this time, the voice of the left-behind correspondent under the mountain came from our headphones: "Report to Team Zhao!" Another 500 meters will lead to the point where a small group will change course. ”

All of us stopped, and Zhao Jinfu and I looked down and opened the topographic map of our left arm, and saw that it showed a constantly flickering point of light.

A small team is led by a platoon leader, and the team followed by Lao Qian is now at the front of the entire large army.

Zhao Jinfu immediately called out on the walkie-talkie: "One team! One team! Got a reply! Immediately a long line of voices came from the headphones: "A team received, please speak!" A team received, please speak! ”

Zhao Jinfu said: "I will go to your search route transfer point immediately, and after you change routes, mark along the road." Protect Comrade Lao Qian on the road, be careful, and pay attention to safety. ”

The platoon leader replied, "The first team understands. One team understands. ”

Zhao Jinfu turned off the walkie-talkie and said to me next to him: "Once you turn, the road is even more difficult to walk." There are even many areas that even the locals have never visited, so no one knows what will happen there. I didn't let you lead the team this time, and I was also responsible for you, so don't blame me in your heart. ”
