The pre-dawn darkness covered the ranks of troops as they slowly marched along the mountain path. The drone in front of him kept feeding back the images in the distance, and everywhere he went was the vast white snow, as if everything Guo Jun was worried about was that he was worrying about the sky.

In fact, the detection effect of drones at night will be greatly limited, and the trees here generally grow very tall, so the drones never dare to put too low at height.

"Company commander, there is a dense forest area ahead, and the mountain roads on both sides are not suitable for the passage of heavy equipment, so it is necessary to work on the spot to widen the road. ”

According to forward detection, the engineer battalion now passes through a large open field if it moves at a normal speed, and on either side of the open field are two dense forest areas. This kind of terrain is usually absolutely avoided, because this is definitely a treasure trove of feng shui for ambushes.

But now the engineer battalion had to cross the edge of the dense forest, because he had been ordered to open the transport route at all costs so that the heavy armor could pass through.

"Stop, all stand on guard. The operation team cooperated with the drone to investigate again. ”

Although his superiors ordered him to do so, he couldn't really be reckless to the point of ignoring it.

At this time, in the dense forest on the side, Zhang Haiying was looking at the half-cut bulldozer exposed at the corner of the mountain road through the night vision binoculars.

Zhang Haiying's order to his second reconnaissance company was to capture the engineer equipment. And maximize the number of combatant kills. His idea was not only to eat this engineer battalion, but also to use these engineer equipment to make a big barricade for the Red Army here.

As long as the armored forces behind this can be delayed for more than 6 hours, then the encirclement of the Red Army by the Blue Army can be completely closed. At that time, the exercise will be able to end early, and to do this, the most important thing is this engineer battalion.

Zhang Haiying was very careful, the significance of the engineer battalion in front for the Red Army was beyond doubt. He didn't think that the engineer battalion was guarded only by the reconnaissance company that had already been detected.

Therefore, he was very patient, and this time the whole company infiltrated the long-distance armed forces here and set up an ambush, in order not to be detected by the opposing escort troops so that he could hit with one blow.

Now he knows that the target is ahead, but he will not order a surprise attack if the other party has not actually entered the ambush.

If the battle cannot be ended in a short period of time, there may be a risk that other troops will be detected and then counter-encircled.

In Zhang Haiying's view, the other party is waiting for the dawn, and the vision will be much wider in this bare mountain forest. When the time comes, with the drones in the sky, it will be more certain to pass through such a dangerous place.

It's 4:53 a.m., and it's almost half an hour before sunrise, and if you were yourself, you wouldn't have risked that half an hour.

"The second detective company listens to the order, no one is allowed to shoot without my order, and they all shrink their heads for me!"

The Red Army is more patient than patient, and Zhang Haiying also wants to see who can consume whom......

Winding mountain roads, as an assault in the advance team. Yang Buxing, Zhang Xiaofan, and Yao Bing walked in front in a zigzag shape.

The two flanks were carried by a platoon of veterans of three squads. And Dai Gang and Wang Jianjun were in the position of covering the left flank.

The three-three formation is constantly changing, and if you want to occupy that high ground, you can only succeed by taking advantage of this last trace of darkness before dawn, otherwise you can only expect the Blue Army commander to be nervous and not realize the importance of this high ground.

To get close to the heights, you have to swim across a small river about ten meters wide. In this icy and snowy land, a layer of ice has formed on the surface of the river, which does not seem to be turbulent.

This thickness supports the weight of the human body to walk through it, and it is afraid that it is impossible. Even if it can barely be supported, the goal of walking on the surface of the river is too obvious.

For the sake of the concealment of the sneak attack, a total of nine people in the third class plus Yang Buxing needed to half-dive through the water. This low temperature of minus seven or eight degrees Celsius is the first moat they have to face.

"Take off all your clothes first, or we will be almost reimbursed when we dive to the other side, let alone have a sneak attack." ”

The veterans around me have had this experience, and if you want to swim in this temperature, the best way is to take off your clothes and wrap them up, and then people go over first and then pull your clothes across the river from the ice with ropes.

Otherwise, as soon as you come out of the water, the clothes on your body will freeze into a ball and you will not be able to move, and your body will soon be frozen if you are not warm, and I am afraid that you will not even be able to shout for help at that time.

But Yang Bu Hungry objected to this proposal because of the high danger of armed swimming in winter, and the veteran seemed to ignore that it was necessary to sneak under the ice. How fast the water flows under the ice is unknown, not to mention how it is possible to fight when the time comes, and how to control the dense forest area below.

"I'll dive first, then tie the rope, and you lie on the ice and pull the rope over, and the surface area will increase, and the ice should be able to hold it. ”

There was no objection from everyone, and I have to say that this is indeed the best way to go. Soon Yang Bu was hungry and tapped the ice on the surface of the river with the butt of his gun, and when he really stepped into the water, he realized that the temperature under the water was actually much warmer than on the shore.

In a short distance of about ten meters, he thought that it was only seven or eight strokes, but when he actually dived to the bottom, he found that the water flow under the ice was unexpectedly fast.

Just after two strokes, Yang Bu under the ice was not hungry and was swept seven or eight meters downstream by the current. This sudden suddenness also scared Yang Buxing a lot, but at this time, where could he hesitate, he just paddled out of instinct in the water, and he could have rowed to the opposite bank in a few straight strokes, but now Yang Buxing estimated that he had fluttered at least forty or fifty times in his heart.

In low-temperature water, the water stamina drops very quickly with each stroke, and the oxygen required is particularly high. Finally, when the oxygen in the lungs was about to be exhausted, the rope around his waist suddenly tightened, and then the whole person was dragged backwards out of the water.

Call......

As soon as he showed his head, Yang Bu was hungry and took a big breath. It's good that it's tied to a rope, otherwise it would have been dangerous. Thinking of the astonishing speed of the water just now, he still has palpitations in his heart.

"Not hungry, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that the current is too fast to swim to the other side. I thought of a note to let me catch my breath first. ”

Everyone saw Yang Buxing's embarrassed appearance, and they were all glad that they didn't rush into the water just now. Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Old Yao, help me move a stone. To be a big chunk. ”

Yang Buying, whose face was purple from the cold, took the stone the size of a grinding plate in Yao Bing's hand, and then took a deep breath and dived directly to the bottom of the river.

With the weight of the stones, he stood directly on the riverbed, but fortunately there was not silt but solid sand and gravel underneath, otherwise it would have taken a lot of extra effort to take each step.

Although he had this boulder to stabilize his body, he was almost exhausted when Yang Buxing broke through the ice and crawled out of the opposite bank.

Now he didn't have time to stop and rest, but he forced himself to tie the rope thrown from the other side to the big tree on the shore and quickly got back into the water. In his opinion, the water at zero degrees is always much warmer than the air at minus seven or eight degrees on the shore.

The others on the shore soon crawled along the rope to the other side. By the time Yang Bu was hungry and dressed, the horizon was already faintly bright.

Looking forward from the riverbank, the hillside in front of me is covered with tall wattle cedar trees, and although all the leaves have been lost, the lush branches are still intersecting and scattered, and it still looks different from below to the top.

Judging from the extent of the hillside, the area of the high ground marked on this map is not very large, and it is estimated that it is about eight or nine hundred meters square.

The formation is still a three-three system, and time does not allow for any further delay, and sniper points must be set up on this high ground after half an hour at most. But to do this, it is necessary to clean up the possible blue army.

This highland is geographically overlooking the dense forest area below. But the ambush of the engineer battalion coming from the direction of the open field was somewhat beyond the reach of the whip.

According to Yao Bing's estimates, this position will never be unmanned, but the number of people will not be large. If the results of the analysis are correct, the maximum number of people in ambush here is the number of people in a company.

A company against a battalion is overstretched, so there should be no more than one squad stationed on this high ground. Of course, these are just speculations.

Yao Bing crawled up the slope first. Since the sun was already shining through the clouds, he could almost see the general situation on the high ground at a glance by this glimmer of light.

The snow was indeed a bit heavy, almost half a foot deep. Most of the trees and plants were half-buried under the snow, but there was no half-sighted figure.

"What about people? Is it true that the commanders of the Blues are so nervous? Rest assured that you are reluctant to send a few soldiers to guard such a place?"

Yao Bing muttered in his heart, but he was still cautious and carefully investigated every suspicious place.

You can see the edge of this plateau at a glance, and the vegetation seems to be lush from below, and it looks like a large square from above, and if someone else is sure to find it.

At this time, Yang was lying on the snow and observing the surroundings, and suddenly his attention was attracted by the clusters of dead branches in the direction of 3 o'clock.

"Old Yao, look there. 3 meters at 30 o'clock. ”

Yang Buyu pointed to the clusters of plants and whispered.

"People must be hiding underneath, let's wrap it up slowly and try not to shoot first. ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Yang Buxing's finger, and they didn't see anything in that place except for a few clusters of dead branches of plants, and they didn't know how Yang Buxing concluded that there were people hiding there.

"Believe me, there are 5 places over there with such plants, and there are 9 people in the third shift plus me. Basically, it's right for two people to go over in one bag. ”

I know that everyone is confused, but now Yang is not hungry and has no time to explain so much to them. Yao Bing and Zhang Xiaofan still trusted Yang Buxing very much, and after some thought, after counting down three times, the ten people directly spread their legs and rushed in the direction that Yang Buxing pointed to.

The snow was very thick, and even though I was sprinting with all my might, my speed was still very affected. Fortunately, there are pros and cons here, because of the snow, the sound of several of them running is also muffled at the same time......
