Chapter 54: The Intervention of a Third Party
"It's over, a day's hard work has been in vain!" Seeing a few birds fluttering their wings and rising to the sky, Mo Tianci's heart was cold. If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a teammate like a pig, and someone's mistake will ruin his painstaking arrangement.
It seems that some sacrifices are necessary for the sake of victory. No matter how strong he is, he is only a recruit on the battlefield, and he can't become a savior for his followers. Quickly making a retreat gesture towards several nearby trees, he slid lightly from the trees to the ground. The four figures quickly followed him to the ground, hiding in the bushes to the north.
"You ask for more blessings!" Mo Tianci looked up at the huge canopy of trees above his head, sighed and waved his hand. A strong wind blew through the forest, and several figures sped towards the north.
The exercises of the New First Company and the New Third Company have entered their third day. Lei Meng and Zhang Tianwei led a group of instructors to continuously eliminate the recruits of the two companies with iron-blooded means. So far, the number of recruits in both companies who are still fighting in the jungle is only about two decades. So, Lei Meng and Zhang Tianwei coincidentally launched a hunt against Mo Tianci and Zhu Xiaoqi. On the side of the first company, Lei Meng ordered Leng Yunfei and Qin Sanguan and other five instructors to focus on taking care of Mo Tianci's team, and on the side of the third company, company commander Zhang Tianwei personally led four veterans to start searching for Zhu Xiaoqi. This was an agreement reached between the two company commanders, not only to ensure that the two of them entered the second phase of the exercise, but also to give them enough pressure and training.
Mo Tianci quickly won the respect of Leng Yunfei and the other five veterans. This young man, who has a bit of the style of a general, has formed a regiment of scattered sand around him in a short period of time, forming a small detachment that is disciplined and can carry out his orders to the letter. After a day of confrontation, with his superb tactical command level and strong personal ability, he not only retreated with his team in several contacts, but even almost escaped their tracking.
"That's a good idea. Leng Yunfei looked at the dozen or so big banyan trees in front of him, and couldn't help but praise softly. Those huge canopies in mid-air are really a great place to hide. If it weren't for the few frightened birds that exposed the whereabouts of Mo Tianci and the others, he wouldn't have expected that these recruits, who had been struggling all day, would actually slam on the brakes and quietly hide under their noses. If this plan is successful, then these recruits can sleep and replenish their bodies tonight.
Qin Sanguan took a few veterans to search carefully in the banyan forest. Soon, they found some fresh footprints and broken branches on the south side of the woods.
"Yo ho, not only wiped the traces of climbing the tree clean, but also didn't forget to leave us clues to follow, this kid's head is bright!" Qin San looked at a few lines of fresh footprints on the ground and some broken twigs in the jungle, his eyes were full of appreciation.
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's still a little tender. Leng Yunfei picked up a broken branch and looked at it, "At first glance, it was deliberately made, which is very different from the natural bumping during the journey." ”
"Don't hit people, this table is already very good. Qin Sanguan smiled and looked up at the banyan canopy in the air, "You can close the net now, right?"
"Take it!" Leng Yunfei nodded, "But I guess the big fish may have escaped!"
"Take your time, don't rush, it's not interesting to catch them all. Qin Sanguan flew up and jumped onto the tree. The other three squad leaders also jumped onto the banyan tree with him. What they have to do now is to go up the tree to catch fish, and Leng Yunfei on the ground is their net.
The forest was very dark, but it did not affect Qin Sanguan's search for a target. Standing on the treetops, he took the bow and arrow from behind him, and drew a long arrow from the quiver at his waist. Hold your breath and draw your bow and arrow, the tip of the arrow pointing at the dense foliage in the distance.
"Whoosh!" the arrow burst through the air and sank into the leaves.
After a scream, a dark shadow fell from the air to the ground.
Listening to a few screams in the distance and looking at the few clouds of smoke rising in the sky, Li Yuncong knew that Mo Tianci had made a correct decision. Several comrades-in-arms who were decisively abandoned by him after the operation was exposed attracted the attention of Leng Yunfei and others, and won valuable time for them to get rid of the pursuit. However, this seemingly correct decision made him a little angry. If it was on a real battlefield, he would rather die in battle than abandon his comrades to survive.
Mo Tianci's mood at this time was also very complicated. It takes courage for a strong man to break his wrist, but the pain he felt after breaking his wrist was much more intense than he imagined. Under the circumstances, as the commander of this squad, he made a decision that was understandable but destined to put him under a lot of pressure. You know, he gave up all his comrades-in-arms who shared life and death with him, and these people trusted him and pinned all their hopes on him. Still, if he was given another chance to choose, he would still make the same decision. His father once told him that in order to become a famous general, he must overcome the influence of emotions on his intellect when making decisions with a rock-solid will and calmness beyond ordinary people, so that he can seize the opportunity to win on the rapidly changing battlefield. There is no right or wrong in war, only victory and defeat, and history is written by those who come victorious.
During the break, several of the recruits in the company were silent and silent. In the face of their silent questioning, Mo Tianci did not justify his actions. Now that they've joined his team, they'll have to adapt to his style of doing things, and they'll understand his decision when the results of the selection come in.
"Yun Cong, if it were you today, what would you do?" After taking a sip of water, he came to Li Yuncong's side, sat down against the tree, and asked softly. He doesn't care about other people's attitudes, but Li Yuncong's attitude is likely to affect the results of the second phase of the confrontation exercise, and he must have his support.
"I don't know, it's contradictory. Li Yuncong's expression was very entangled, "Judging from the results, your decision is correct, but I can't accept it." ”
"But you should know that I had no better choice in the circumstances. Mo Tianci smiled bitterly, "Even if we do our best to fight, we can't change the fate of them being eliminated, and I'm afraid the number of eliminated will be even more." ”
"If this were a real war and not a drill, and the end would not be elimination but death, I think they would have died without a blind eye. Li Yuncong looked directly at him and said sharply.
"Do you think I'd do the same in war?"
"What do you think?"
After Mo Tianci's question was questioned by Li Yuncong, there was a long silence between the two. The confusion and confusion felt by the two young men in the war is actually a profound question that many soldiers have been searching for a long time - how to evaluate those who violate the moral code in the war in pursuit of victory. Different answers will lead those who come after them to a completely different path in life.
"What would he do if he was replaced by Zhu Xiaoqi?" In the end, the same question came to mind in both of their hearts.
In another jungle, Zhu Xiaoqi, who was thinking about two men, was anxious about one thing. The originally relaxed and happy duo became extremely discordant because of the appearance of a third party.
This third party is a recruit named Hou Xiaoshan. This guy, affectionately called "Little Sick Monkey" by the recruits of the Third Company, is in poor health and has a strange timidity, and his usual training results have always proudly hovered in the bottom three. Not the last three of the third company, but the bottom three of the entire Xishan military exercise ground.
However, the monkey is also a person who is good at creating miracles. When recruits were recruited, he was eliminated for physical reasons. The kid didn't say anything, silently took off the worn-out hunting bow behind him, and shot an arrow at a sparrow parked on a lamp pole a hundred meters away, and was miraculously recruited into the army. After entering the Xishan training camp, this guy, who could disappear if a gust of wind blew, miraculously survived the cruel training of the wolf killing instructors and entered the exercise assessment stage.
Now, the exercise has entered the third day, and in the eyes of the recruits, this guy who must be absolutely sure that 100% should be eliminated first on the first day of the exercise, miraculously stood in front of Zhu Xiaoqi.
No, he didn't take the initiative to stand up, but was shot by Zhu Xiaoqi. After waking up early in the morning, Zhu Xiaoqi and Zhao Tiedan were looking for prey near the camp and accidentally found that the trap they had carefully set yesterday had been completely dismantled overnight. So, two suspicious fellows searched the neighborhood carefully, and by the way, they picked some game and picked some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. Then, Zhu Xiaoqi's arrow missed, and the arrow burrowed into the dense bushes, and the little sick monkey jumped out with his butt in his hands.
The medicinal properties of the arrows soon set in, and the little sick monkey fell into a brief coma.
"Although brother doesn't kill, you basically belong to yourself to find death. Zhao Tie stepped forward with a bold laugh, intending to detonate the smoke device on his body and eliminate a competitor.
Zhu Xiaoqi stopped him. "This kid has been with us for three whole days, and when he wakes up, ask him what he wants to do. ”
"What? three days, why didn't I find out?" Zhao Tie's eyes widened.
"I almost didn't find out, how could you find out?" said Zhu Xiaoqi with a smile. On his first day in the jungle, he felt like he was being followed, but he never found out who it was. The next day, he made some arrangements on the road to confirm his judgment that he was being followed. So, in the evening, he took Zhao Tie to lay many traps around the camp, and finally succeeded in catching this fighter who had been fighting all night with all kinds of traps in the early morning.
Half an hour later, Hou Xiaoshan woke up. What caught his eyes were two faces with a wicked smile and a glittering kitchen knife.
"Seventh brother, spare your life! Before the drill began, squad leader Qin instructed me to follow you after entering the jungle, and he said that a timid person like me is the most suitable person to follow the sinister and obscene guy on the battlefield, so that not only can I persevere, but I may also be lucky enough to pass the assessment. Although I was a little scared of you, but when I saw those recruits being covered in blood by the instructors and quitting the exercise, I still mustered up the courage to find you and quietly followed you all the time!"
"Insidious and obscene?" Zhu Xiaoqi looked at Zhao Tie Dan with a confused expression, "I always thought you were very obscene, but I didn't see where you were insidious?"
"Insidious and obscene, that's your exclusive realm Seventh Brother. I've always admired you, but I've never been able to reach your heights. Didn't you show up, the little sick monkey always looked at you when he spoke?" Zhao Tie said with a smile.
"Then I'll ask him who he's talking about. Zhu Xiaoqi frowned.
"No way. In my heart, Brother Qi can only be described as Yushu Linfeng Feng \ Liusui and suave! The insidious and obscene guy in Squad Leader Qin's mouth must be referring to you with iron courage!" Hou Xiaoshan said seriously.
"Grandma's, you want to eat fists!" Zhao Tie waved his fist in front of him depressedly.
"My life is in a mighty and unyielding life, come on!" Hou Xiaoshan looked at death as if he were at home, and closed his eyes.
"Seventh brother, this guy has always been very bad, and it's a burden to stay, so let's send him on the road!" Zhao Tie shouted in a dare.
"This brother is honest, I like it, I stay!" Zhu Xiaoqi smiled proudly.
For the next day, Zhu Xiaoqi was busy directing Zhao Tiedan and Hou Xiaoshan to rearrange the trap. Hou Xiaoshan has a set of traps, and the traps are even more unambiguous. There are many complicated traps, Zhu Xiaoqi only needs to say it once, he can understand it, and then get it right. This unexpected discovery made him overjoyed and greatly boosted his confidence in torturing Company Commander Zhang.
"Brother Tie Guts, in fact, I have always admired you. If you have time, you can guide me, I want to train my body to be as strong as you. ”
"Brother Tie Guts, damn it, your muscles are too developed, just show them like this, I guess you can fascinate a girl!
While working, Hou Xiaoshan kept patting Zhao Tiedan's ass, so that Zhao Tietang finally realized the happiness of taking his little brother.
"Then why did you just say that?"
"Didn't you see that when I spoke, Brother Qi's hand pressed the smoke device on my body?"
“.......”
After a busy day, the three were completely covered by dozens of traps within a radius of several hundred meters.
Zhu Xiaoqi took the two of them, and after checking them in the forest, he smiled with satisfaction. "That's good! If Company Commander Zhang comes, it's enough for him to drink a pot!"
"Seventh brother, how are you sure they will come?" Zhao Tiedan asked.
"It's the third day, and I guess there aren't many recruits left, and he's free to deal with us. I've gone to great lengths along the way, leaving them with a lot of traces that can be traced, and I'm sure I'll be able to find them with their vicious eyes. For his own arrangement, Zhu Xiaoqi is full of confidence.
"That ......." Hou Xiaoshan wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Tiedan. "Brother Seven, do these traps work?"
"Of course. There's a lot of new stuff in there, and I guess they've never seen them before. Moreover, these traps are used in conjunction with **, which is a damn thing! As long as they get hurt, they are done. Zhu Xiaoqi's insidious nature was exposed.
"That ......." Hou Xiaoshan wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Zhao Tiedan.
"Will it kill people?"
"No, it's just unconscious, but there's enough time for us to detonate their smoke devices. ”
"That ......," Hou Xiaoshan said again.
"Seventh Brother ......."
This time, Zhu Xiaoqi interrupted Zhao Tiedan's words.
"What do you want to say to the monkey?"
"Brother Qi, I want to say one thing, you can't blame me for hearing it. Hou Xiaoshan looked at him with a weak heart.
"My brother, let's say, Seventh Brother is very generous. Zhu Xiaoqi said kindly.
"I'm afraid I'll hurt you if I follow, so I've disposed of all the traces on the road, including what you left behind. Hou Xiaoshan said.
Zhu Xiaoqi and Zhao Tiedang didn't blame him, they beat him.
"What, do you know how hard it took Lao Tzu to make it so natural? Now, hiding in the far corner of the map, how hard it will take for Company Commander Zhang to find us?"
"What, you said you would die, Lao Tzu has been making traps all day long, is it easy for me?"
That's what happened. But over the next two days, the traps laid down by the trio still paid off. Many birds and animals have strayed into traps, and at least they don't have to hunt hard. Under Zhu Xiaoqi's tutelage, Hou Xiaoshan became a full-time barbecue chef, and the three of them kept shouting that the oil was big, and then they were looking for wild fruits to turn oil all over the mountain.
Is this a taboo in jungle warfare, is this a deadly rhythm?
Of course not, they just wanted Lian Commander Zhang to come quickly, because they were really angry after eating too much barbecue, and repeating the traps over and over again was about to make the three of them crazy......
