"Check your training bag to see if you have everything? Food, water, flashlight, compass, map, climbing rope, engineer shovel, knife, and whistle..."

Xiao Kecheng, the instructor of the brigade, was walking around in front of the queue in a camouflage uniform.

On the campus of the entire school, all the students gathered around several classes in the playground that were about to set off as search teams, whispering to each other in a low voice.

"When I took the military topography course, I once told you that if it is not necessary, if it is not a special situation, try to avoid marching at night. But tonight is a special situation. Guess wrong, they must have encountered some difficulties during the march."

"These five classes of you are the best classes in the entire brigade to study military topography. In the past few days, your subjects have been completed the best, that's why you were selected as the search team. Each search team In addition to your squad leader, there will also be teachers from our group headquarters or district leaders who are proficient in topography."

"Now, the search range of each class has been demarcated on your map, and the areas that are most likely to have problems in the three classes have also been demarcated. We will conduct key searches in the demarcated areas, and everyone's whistle will blow every once in a while. , if the third shift hears the whistle, they will respond."

"After finding the third shift, you will use the radio station carried in the squad to get in touch with the brigade, immediately locate the location on the map, and report the location to the temporary command room of the brigade headquarters. As long as the third shift is found, if there is any injury, you can go to the nearest place. Choose an open area, the division has reported the situation here to the group army, and now the army aviation regiment in the army is on standby at the airport and can take off at any time to come to rescue."

Squatting on the ground solemnly, checking his equipment one by one.

In this search, each student was actually equipped with thirty rounds of live ammunition to prevent unexpected situations.

Although Zhuang Yan has never dealt with people from the first squadron and the third squad, those are all comrades in his own brigade.

Lost in the jungle, solemnly knows that the situation is not good.

Today, Class Seven almost collapsed on the way.

If it wasn't for the lucky encounter with a piece of mountain nianzi, I'm afraid I don't know how much time it will take to return to Huzhen.

Luo Xiaoming and several squad leaders who acted together this time spread out the map and discussed various things, and even argued when they were excited.

Everyone looked anxious.

After discussing for a while, several monitor and teachers seemed to have reached a consensus. Luo Xiaoming took off his hat fiercely, kneaded it into a ball and pinched it in his hand, and walked to the seventh class: "Seventh class! Are you ready? ? We're ready to go now!"

His tone suddenly became very strong, and there was an unstoppable light in his eyes.

Everyone's spirits were shocked, they all stood up, put the gun and rucksack on their shoulders neatly, and answered in unison: "Squad leader, we are ready!"

Luo Xiaoming adjusted his camouflage training bag, turned around, looked over the wall of Huzhen Central Primary School, and stared at a remote virgin forest without speaking for half a minute.

Then he returned to the front of the team, raised his finger to the distance, and said loudly: "Today, even if we travel all over this mountainous area, we will have to find the third shift!!"

A kind of full affection oozes out of the words, there is a kind of sacredness and solemnity in the air, as if time has stopped, the twelve soldiers who were already very tired suddenly feel refreshed, they stand on the playground like cast iron, their blood is flowing. With an indescribable power, it fills everyone's chest and blood vessels.

Luo Xiaoming asked, "Are you confident!?"

"have!"

The team left Huzhen again and walked towards Dashanli.

Entering the mountain, everyone marched slowly in the jungle in a single column, and along the way, everyone blew the whistle every few minutes.

Flashlights clearly illuminate the road ahead, and everyone has six spare batteries on their bodies, enough to last until dawn.

The mountain road at night is indeed difficult to walk, and what Zhuang Yan is most worried about is some nocturnal animals, or snakes hiding in the grass or leaves.

Some snakes like to come out at night to hunt for food, and they will definitely get caught when they step on them.

Just like when he was teaching the brigade, he could meet Zhu Yeqing passing by while taking a bath by the river.

Instructor Xiao, who was in charge of leading the team, stopped twice in two hours, spread out the map each time to compare the terrain, and then continued on the route he thought would meet three classes.

In fact, the more you go into the mountains, the more solemn heart sinks.

Two hours have passed, and there is no trace of shift 1.3...

It was pitch black all around, except for the stars in the sky, basically everything was blurry.

Majestic is really unimaginable, in such a situation like finding a needle in a haystack,

There are new discoveries, felled trees and severed vines along the way, and those fresh cuts herald three shifts ahead.

The more Luo Xiaoming walked, the heavier his heart became.

After walking less than a kilometer, a mountain suddenly appeared in front of him.

Luo Xiaoming spread out the map, looked at it, and said, "Oops, do they want to take a shortcut from the north to get back to the meeting point?"

Zhuang Yan squatted down and asked, "Squad leader, if they headed from the north to the meeting point, they should have arrived by now. Look here!" It's almost 10 kilometers less!

Xu Xingguo snorted from the side and said, "You can see clearly, there is a cliff over there. Look at how dense the contour lines are. It is not a cliff that is too steep to death." He suddenly shuddered, oops! Isn't it forcibly falling off the cliff?

Luo Xiaoming's face darkened, he quickly folded up the map and said, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

At this time, Wang Datong, who was looking at the front of the team, suddenly shouted: "Squad leader! Squad leader! There is someone on the mountain!"

Luo Xiaoming jumped up like a spring and looked in the direction Wang Datong pointed. Sure enough, there was a soldier in a camouflage uniform on the mountainside, jumping and running to the foot of the mountain, looking in a hurry.

He took out a small horn from his camouflage pocket and blew it in his mouth.

beep beep beep-

The rapid sound of the trumpet aroused the idea of ​​the soldier on the mountainside. He stopped his footsteps from a distance, looked around, and suddenly spread his feet and ran towards this side.

"It must be from the third class!" Xiao Kecheng concluded, "Come over and have a look!"

All the students in Class 7 are in high spirits!

Finally found!

There is almost no need to verify, everyone believes that it is a person from the first squadron and the third class!

Everyone quickly moved closer to the soldier.

Finally, the two sides converged at the foot of the mountain. Xu Yuan stopped his rushing footsteps in front of Xiao Kecheng, panting and crying, "Teacher Xiao, we are lost!"

Xiao Kecheng asked, "What's your name?"

Xu Yuan was still out of breath and said, "I'm Xu Yuan from the third class!"

"What about you people? Why are you the only one!?" Xiao Kecheng hurriedly asked, why are you the only one of the eleven of you?

"They are all on the other side of the mountain, and there is a cliff in front of us. We can't get over it. Someone fainted from heat stroke! We have no water!"

Xiao Kecheng crouched down and unfolded the map, "Which direction is your class? How is the situation of the fainted soldier?"

Xu Yuan scanned the map several times, but was unable to point out the approximate direction.

He already had some kind of psychological shadow.

Today, it was his recklessness and arrogance that led to the loss of Class 3 and Liu Xiangdong's coma.

"I only need the approximate location, where did you go wrong?" Xiao Kecheng asked.

Xu Yuan took a breath, and clicked his finger on the coordinates of the valley that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"Are you going back to the way you came now?"

"My comrades in the class asked me to come out and ask for help. They said that they carried Liu Xiangdong, who was unconscious, to the original road, so... I really don't know where they are now..." Xu Yuan's eyes instantly turned red.

Xiao Kecheng turned his eyes on the map and said, "Okay, I probably know where to go."

He took out the flare gun, loaded it, and fired a shot into the sky.

The red signal bomb rose into the air, soared into the sky under the dark night, and then began to fall slowly.

All around, it was bright.

Xiao Kecheng said to Xu Yuan, "You stay, someone will pick you up later."

He asked again, "Who wants to stay and take care of him?"

Li Zhaoxin raised his hand and said, "Me."

He noticed that Xu Yuan's lips had been split open.

"Come on, brother, drink my water. Tonight, the brigade sent five classes out to find you. As long as we sit here and wait for a while, someone will come and take us out."

Xu Yuan was drinking from Li Zhaoxin's kettle, and when he heard that he was asked to wait on the spot, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, I want to follow you in, I want to find them..."

Xiao Kecheng said non-negotiable: "This is my order! It's not a question, understand? Soldier! It's not suitable for you to continue to participate in the search, otherwise you won't be able to support yourself later, but it will become a burden."

"No~lightnovelpub.net~ I can..."

"Enough! Can't understand my words? This is an order!" Shaoke roared like a tiger, completely stunned Xu Yuan, who was babbling on.

Xiao Kecheng turned around, pulled Luo Xiaoming aside and said, "The situation doesn't look good. If some of them are in a coma from heatstroke at dusk... This will be a big trouble..."

Luo Xiaoming, of course, knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said, "Send people out as quickly as possible."

Xiao Kecheng put the map on his forearm and turned it over. He tapped his index finger heavily on a road on the map and said, "I estimate that they will be within this range. After finding them, we will be here! This is There is an open area closest to the current location, and we will inform the team of our coordinates on the radio later, and then go there and wait for the helicopter!"

"Yes!" Luo Xiaoming nodded vigorously, turned around and waved his hand: "Seventh class, let's go! Use your fastest speed, and now a comrade is in a coma, we have to race against time, find them early to determine the location!"
