A navy-painted Z-8 transport helicopter took off from the command camp and carried Li Mu and Jiang Zhongyi, as well as Li Mu's service officer Su Xiaobing, as well as a communications staff officer and a training staff officer.

Li Mu wanted to conduct another aerial reconnaissance of the Danhe Mountains in order to decide whether to make appropriate adjustments to the field survival assessment in the next three days.

Through the portable mobile command terminal carried by the Z-8, Li Mu can not only maintain communication with the command camp, but also directly command any group on the ground to adjust the encirclement and suppression operations at any time.

"The Dan valley is so big that hundreds of people can't see anything when they go in. ”

At the open hatch, Li Mu and Jiang Zhongyi sat by the door on the left and right, looking out through the wide hatch, Li Mu looked at the endless green and hurried Danhe Valley with hilly terrain style, and said.

They all wore headphones and communicated through communication channels.

Jiang Zhongyi said, "Not only the area, but also the wildlife is very rich, and the terrain is complex, which is very dangerous. We have to conduct high-intensity field training once a year, and with the battalion as a unit, it can be said that 80 percent of the annual training casualties are caused here. The most serious one was five years ago, when two soldiers were lost at once. ”

The brutality of the training of the Marine Corps is well known, and the Chinese Marine Corps is regarded as a special forces, so the training standards have always followed the path of special forces, but they are gradually changing over time.

"Lao Li, to be honest, I'm very worried about these sniper toppers, each of them is a baby bump of the original unit, if we are trained in our hands, there will definitely be no less blame. Jiang Zhongyi said.

He still hasn't said a word - the all-army sniper training camp in previous years has never been like this.

Using helicopter gunships to fire live ammunition and firing at the ground to create a battlefield atmosphere is not something that a normal commanding officer can do. If there is a slight difference, it is not a matter of disability, but of a dead person.

Li Mu just did it.

You said that he has absolute trust in the accuracy of the positioning of the Beidou satellite system, in the weapon operators on the armed helicopters, and in the ability of the trainees.

However, no one was able to change his attention, and even if the report was typed, the higher-level leadership organs did not object to it.

Li Mu said in a deep voice, "We are fighting with guns on our shoulders, and what we practice is the skills of killing people and setting fires. ”

Of course, Jiang Zhongyi understands this truth.

Z-8 flew over a small peak to a relatively flat area with plenty of broadleaf forest and wild banana groves, interspersed with a mess of bushes, with no paths, only paths left by wildlife activities.

"Old Jiang, the last task point is in this position, right?" Li Mu asked, pointing downward.

"Yes. Jiang Zhongyi replied, and couldn't help laughing, "The last task is to withdraw from the war zone with the wounded, and we are arranging one hundred and fifty pounds of stones that simulate the wounded, and carry them in a large backpack. ”

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, "That is to say, when they reach the final task point, they will find the importance of unity." ”

"Yes. Jiang Zhongyi nodded.

In the plan, in the penultimate mission point, each person will be assigned a different specific location of the last mission point, but all in this flat primeval broad-leaved forest. In other words, after the penultimate mission point, they will not have a chance to meet again, and they will have to rely on the strength of one person to carry a hundred and fifty pounds of stones to walk the last ten kilometers.

If they act collectively, there will be more other changes. And these, until they get the task, they don't know anything. The whole premise is that if they keep moving collectively all the time, it will be easier to complete the last task.

Because, at the penultimate task point, it will not be clearly stated that each person is responsible for one hundred and fifty pounds of stones, if it is a group action, then this one hundred and fifty pounds of stones is the task of the whole group, and if it is an individual action, then it is the task of one person......

Li Mu played a small trick.

And he didn't even tell Zhang Haichao about this.

If the trainees can always think rationally, such small loopholes can be easily discovered. Undoubtedly, this is a test of the psychological quality of the trainees. For a sniper, a super-stable psychological quality must be possessed.

The Z-8 made a large circle over the Danhe Valley, and Li Mu temporarily made the decision not to change the original plan, and at the same time ordered the rescue force to enter full alert. The fundamental goal is to improve the combat capability of the trainees, not to train them to death and to train them to the disabled.

Zhang Haichao's ability can be seen, and for now, the Beidou satellite system shows that his progress is the fastest. At this moment, he was on his way to the penultimate mission point, and the distance was only a kilometer, and he only had to climb a small hill in front of him and pass a cliff to reach it.

And he still has three days to complete the next task.

In terms of time, I can say that there is a lot of time.

Zhang Haichao climbed over the mountain, and after a short rest, he descended the mountain along the anticline, and in the pile of rocks on the mountainside, he stopped for a short rest.

At this very moment, the Z-8 transport helicopter had just returned and landed in the open space of the command camp.

Chen Shangwu ran over.

Li Mu pressed his hat and walked out of the helicopter rotor range.

Chen Shangwu looked anxious and reported loudly: "Chief, we have lost Zhang Haichao's location information!"

His face changed, and Li Mu walked quickly towards the command cabin.

Jiang Zhongyi followed up and asked Chen Shangwu, "What's wrong?"

"Two minutes ago, the positioning device carried by Zhang Haichao began to stop transmitting signals, and we lost his real-time position. Chen Shangwu said.

"Did he take the initiative to abandon the positioning device?" Jiang Zhongyi's heart sank and he asked.

Chen Shangwu shook his head, "I can't judge now." ”

The two followed Li Mu into the command cabin.

Li Mu personally operated the notebook to check Zhang Haichao's trajectory before and after.

Chen Shangwu said, "The trajectory in front is normal, judging from his movement route, he should not have found that he was carrying a positioning device." ”

"He's definitely found out. Li Mudao.

Jiang Zhongyi looked at Chen Shangwu and added, "After the previous ground shooting, everyone should think that they were carrying a positioning device. ”

"Chief, I'll let the rescue force set off immediately?" Chen Shangwu asked.

Since it is not the active abandonment of the positioning device, then there is an accident.

"Don't worry. ”

Li Mu said calmly, "Call the drone to reconnoiter along Zhang Haichao's movement route, focusing on searching the last displayed area." ”

Jiang Zhongyi quickly checked the real-time location of the drone, and quickly calculated, "It will take five minutes for the nearest drone to rush over." ”

As he spoke, he immediately motioned to the technical staff to begin adjusting the deployment.

Li Mu continued to follow the route of Zhang Haichao's movement to check the real-time satellite map, carefully observing the terrain of those places.

He knows Zhang Haichao, Zhang Haichao is the kind of person who is very disciplined and rigorous, he is not very good at doing things that surprise many people, so he rarely has the opportunity to make some blockbuster deeds. Use one word to evaluate Zhang Haichao - stable. It is this kind of character that makes him an excellent sniper and a model figure who can be popularized on a large scale. It is in stark contrast to Li Mu's extremely adventurous style.

In other words, the possibility of Zhang Haichao actively abandoning the positioning device is extremely low.

Basically, Li Mu can conclude that an accident happened.

However, if the rescue is dispatched immediately, Zhang Haichao's score in this assessment will be a failure.

Therefore, Li Mu must consider carefully. Even if the personal relationship is removed, such a result is difficult to accept for any participant.

Either way, he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Zhang Haichao did have an accident.

The appearance of hunting traps in the primeval mountain forests is something that no one could have imagined. According to what the command camp learned from the Marines, no one had ever entered the Dan Valley, and the villagers in the surrounding villages had stopped hunting for more than a decade.

Zhang Haichao fell into a deep pit in the rubble, which was a deep pit with an oblique opening to a depth of five meters, and the smooth pit walls left many traces of animal climbing, and this pit was clearly a hunting trap made on the basis of a natural pit.

He sat against the wall of the pit, directly opposite a skeletonized animal, and his left calf was fractured.

Caught off guard, although he took self-protection actions when he fell, the serious lack of physical strength made his reaction still full of one step, and at the same time as the fracture of his left calf, the left thigh was also pierced through the muscles by a sharp bamboo stick, and he simply did not hurt the arteries and blood vessels, otherwise he would only have a dead end.

He was supposed to give a rescue signal, but the flare fell to the ground.

Zhang Haichao didn't dare to pull out the bamboo stick, and pierced it, the injury was too serious, and it was beyond the scope of self-treatment. He took off his shirt and bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding, slowly adjusting his breathing to slow down the flow of blood.

The most critical positioning device, in this deep sloping pit, cannot send a signal.

The position of the pit mouth was covered with growing weeds, and Zhang Haichao, who was walking from top to bottom, had no time to react at all after stepping on the air.

At this time, the command camp entered a state of emergency.

Jiang Zhongyi said to Li Mu, "Lao Li, send a rescue force, human life is important." ”

Li Mu was still hesitating.

He understands Zhang Haichao, it is not easy to get to this point, if he gets a failing result in this high-level training camp, it will not only affect Zhang Haichao's future development, but also hit him. The one-vote veto type training camp was formulated by Li Mu, as long as one project fails, then the entire training score is a failure.

Li Mu's reason is very good - for snipers, there is no chance to fire a second shot, if one subject fails, it will inevitably affect the overall combat ability, in such a situation, no matter how good other subjects are, they can't cover one failure.

There will never be a second place on the battlefield.

The atmosphere in the command cabin was solemn.

Chen Shangwu said, "He did not send a rescue signal, and according to the regulations, we cannot take the initiative to send a rescue force, and once the rescue team finds him, he will immediately withdraw from the training." The rescue signal represents exit, which is known to all. ”

Li Mu said slowly, "If there is an accident, Zhang Haichao will send a rescue signal, so far we have not received a rescue signal, we cannot arbitrarily deprive the trainees of the right to continue to complete the field survival assessment." ”

Jiang Zhongyi said worriedly, "I'm worried that there will be other unexpected situations. ”

After all, he has a longer military experience, and the focus of his thinking is different. Even if he was the head of the beast camp, the safety of personnel was always his first priority. This is very different from Li Mu's training.

"Start with a drone search. Li Mu made a decision.

His decision invisibly ruined Zhang Haichao.

Three hours later, it was getting dark.

The drone conducted a search for three hours.

Jiang Zhongyi said in a deep voice, "Lao Li, the drone has repeatedly and carefully searched the area where Zhang Haichao may appear, and has not found any traces. It's getting dark soon, we can't wait any longer, and a search and rescue force must be dispatched. ”

Li Mu knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

"Order all the encirclement and suppression troops to go to search, all assemble to the area where Zhang Haichao disappeared, and order the helicopter detachment to set off, carrying life detectors. Command the camp to activate the emergency plan, and the medical rescue helicopter will take off and stand by!" Li Mu quickly gave an order.

All the relevant units take action. Because there is a perfect insurance plan, all departments move very quickly.

The ground troops all broke away from the pursuit, encirclement, and suppression of the trainees, and went to the designated area to search according to the order.

Traces that cannot be found in the aerial search of drones must be carried out by ground forces.

An hour later, a team discovered the pit and saw Zhang Haichao, who had fallen into a coma at the bottom of the pit. When the medical rescue helicopter arrived, the medical personnel first examined Zhang Haichao's injuries on the spot, took emergency measures, and then used a medical gondola to lift Zhang Haichao onto the helicopter, and the helicopter flew directly to the naval hospital.

Li Mu is no longer what he used to be, he is no longer the little soldier who is easily affected by setbacks, but after getting the news, he still has a trance for a while.

He realized that his choice could ruin Zhang.

When he rushed to the Navy Hospital, the operation had ended, and Zhang Haichao's life was not in danger, but when Li Mu saw the detailed medical report, he finally couldn't help but tremble.

A fracture of the left calf, a severe infection of the left thigh, and although the worst of amputation was avoided, it was no longer a healthy leg.

Zhang Haichao can no longer be a sniper.

If a problem is found with the positioning device, rescue will be dispatched in time, if ......

There just isn't an if.

Note: Two in one today.
