Lao Zhao said a little impatiently: "With a guide, walk according to the planned route, don't go to places you shouldn't go without permission, naturally nothing will happen." These are clearly stipulated before entering the mountain. This is the same as the natural safari park open by the country! If you dare to visit according to the regulations, the lions and tigers will dare to eat you! Do you understand? ”

I thought about it, and what Lao Zhao said was right. Nodding his head and saying, "That's the reason!" Bungee jumping and the possibility that the rope is not tied well, knowing that there is a chance of accidents, it is not a bunch of people every day to challenge the limit! ”

Lao Zhao looked at his watch again and said, "It's good to understand, and cheer up the spirit." I brought you here, but I want to bring you back, don't trouble me! ”

I wouldn't raise a bar with him for this kind of thing, so I nodded seriously.

Zhao Jinfu took me back to the place where the fighters were resting and ordered: "When the time comes, keep going!" ”

The quality of Chinese soldiers, that's not just talking. In this extremely harsh natural environment, none of the dozens of soldiers complained bitterly, and they did not even show the slightest hesitation in their expressions, and as soon as the order arrived, they walked away, and their will was resolute and resolute.

I searched for almost three more hours and still found nothing. But an unexpected event unexpectedly stopped us.

Our communication system is out of order!

Originally, the three squads had to report to each other every ten minutes. But twelve minutes had passed since the last call, and there was silence on the intercom.

When I first discovered this anomaly, I immediately took the initiative to call the other two team leaders, but no one answered. Not only was it impossible to contact the other two squads, but even the Yamashita command vehicle was also cut off.

Zhao Jinfu learned of this situation and immediately ordered the team to stand by.

The two of us took turns calling, but the walkie-talkie was like a dumb one, and even the sizzling sound of the current that was always emitted was gone.

I took off the transceiver hanging from my waist, and the indicator light was obviously green, and the display was normal.

Zhao Jinfu took out the signal interference detector and measured whether there was a interference source around. When he circled around everyone and checked all four directions, he didn't find any external interference.

We looked at each other, unable to figure out why. Zhao Jinfu immediately ordered the team to turn around and return the same way.

I looked at the locator and said to Lao Zhao: "You see, we are now in one-fifth of the established route, and we haven't even reached half of the way before we have this kind of trouble." ”

Zhao Jinfu said in a deep voice: "No! It's impossible for us to move such a short distance after walking for so long, and I'm afraid the locator is out of order! ”

I looked at the locator again in amazement and mentally calculated the speed and time of travel. Sure enough, as per the schedule, we should be further on the locator. I roughly estimated the missing information, and the device was out of order for at least half an hour.

I understand Lao Zhao's intentions, at least ten minutes ago, I talked to the other two teams, retreated to a place where there was a signal, and wanted to verify the situation with the other two teams.

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone's pace increased significantly. I looked at my watch and counted the time, and after twelve minutes of walking back, I called out to stop the line. At the same time, I looked at the locator reaction, but it remained the same display just now, unchanged at all.

Zhao Jinfu called the other two teams again, but after shouting for a minute, the communication equipment did not improve, and it was still silent.

Communication and positioning failed at the same time, and there was no interference source around, this was the first time I had encountered such a strange thing, and I couldn't figure it out.

Zhao Jinfu asked everyone to rest in place for the time being, and at the same time pay attention to vigilance. I pulled him aside and asked him in a low voice, "Old Zhao, it seems that the electronic instruments are useless." Shall we go back and look for a signal? ”

Zhao Jin didn't look flustered, and said, "It seems that we have walked into the signal isolation area for unknown reasons." According to the contingency plan, we can only continue to move forward and meet at the confluence point of the Obeying Lake. ”

I said to him, "It's not been long since the signal is gone, maybe you can find it by walking a little further back?" ”

Zhao Jinfu shook his head and said, "According to the emergency plan, we will rush to the meeting place immediately in the event of losing contact." Even if you go back and find the source, you still can't contact the other two teams, what's the use? They'll keep going according to plan. ”

Seeing my worried look, Zhao Jinfu smiled and said, "Look! That's when your inexperience comes into play. What's the matter, don't the troops often cut off some contacts during exercises and let the troops act independently? This situation is often encountered in the deep mountains and old forests, and electronic instruments are not omnipotent, without which we can't go? ”

I saw that he didn't take it seriously at all, and I couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and said admiringly: "It's still you who have rich experience, it seems that I can't accept it!" ”

Zhao Jinfu looked up and said to me: "Fortunately, now I can still see the sunshine and judge the direction, so let's walk forward." If there is no sun at night, I can't find my bearings. ”

I took a sip of water, smiled and said, "Obey the chief's instructions!" ”

So our team identified the direction and, under the leadership of Zhao Jinfu, marched forward again.

Losing the long-range direction of the command vehicle and the other two teams, we became an independent operation team. Relying on the primitive method of the sun and the compass, he continued to explore the depths of the jungle.

I was a little worried, but more excited. As for the unknown future, there is a faint expectation, thinking that this is much more fun than the army's exercise! Reaching out and subconsciously touching the 92 pistol tied to his body.

On the way, I guessed that maybe I walked through this area, and maybe the signal would be restored again. Who knows, when we get to the sun and gradually sink in the west, the positioning and communication systems will still maintain their iron lump nature.

With the remaining glimmer of light, Zhao Jinfu quickened his march, and he said to everyone: "We are still on the hillside, and we can't camp at all. Rush to the hillside before it gets dark, and everyone will be able to rest completely. ”

Our team had the longest distance among the three squads, but under the leadership of Zhao Jinfu, no one refused to lag behind, and they all accelerated their pace and ran to the top of the mountain.

But don't dare to go too fast, after all, as the altitude increases, the pressure on the lungs increases.

Although we wanted to climb to the top of the mountain in one go, it was already October and the sun had set early. Coupled with the obscuration of the leaves, we will soon lose sight of the road.

In desperation, Zhao Jinfu had no choice but to find a relatively flat place and ordered to camp here tonight to rest.

The place he's looking for is really not good! But the forest is almost dark, and he can't see his five fingers, and it is impossible to find any other place. I figured out a way to get everyone to put their heavy backpacks downhill from the tent and fix them on the ground with wedges to prevent them from rolling down the hill in the middle of the night.

Lao Zhao actually laughed at me, saying that I just thought about these stupid ideas. I was not convinced that he was irresponsible to his subordinates, and in the end, a soldier who had been with Lao Zhao for a long time told me that I could set up the tent close to the tree, and this situation would not have happened.

Oh, yes! I secretly scolded myself for being stupid. The most important thing in this forest is the tree, and my approach is a bit too much.

The temperature difference between day and night in this primeval forest in the Gaoligong Mountains was very large, and we did not dare to light a bonfire in the forest, so we had to put on all the clothes we could wear, eat something, and get into the sleeping bag to rest.

Fortunately, there are more than 20 of us, and we can stand guard in turn.

I was in a tent with Lao Zhao and two other fighters, and those two fighters didn't like to talk, so they went to sleep in their sleeping bags after eating.

Lao Zhao sat there thinking about something, I didn't disturb him, I ate some biscuits and canned food indiscriminately, and sat there in a daze.

Suddenly, Lao Zhao pushed me with his elbow, I reacted from my stunned state, looked at him, and asked me with a smile: "What?" Addicted to smoking? ”

I smiled and said, "You can see that?" Or do you know me. ”

Zhao Jinfu said: "I've known you for so many years, I still don't know about your little problem, give it to you!" ”

I thought he was going to give me cigarettes, but I said warily, "You let me break discipline, didn't you?" How dare you let me smoke in the woods in front of the soldiers? Will you help me or harm me? That's right! Didn't you throw away all your cigarettes before entering the mountain? Still in stock? I'll look at what brand.
