Chapter 38: The 322 Area, which is heavily defended
The gurgling stream flows slowly, and the cold moonlight is reflected on the stream.
The sparkling creek and the rustle of the spring breeze blowing through the mountains and forests create a mountain night scene in early spring.
The high school team used flashlights to stare closely at the dead branches and leaves beside the stream.
This was the place where Chang Ning had dealt with the footprints. There must be gaps in every detail. Chang Ning was still thinking about Xiaozhuang and Chen Guotao in the pit. He was afraid that if they were discovered by the Blue Army's search team without him, it would be a terrible time.
That's big.
So he destroyed the footprints, carefully covered them with a layer of dead branches and leaves, and left in a hurry.
In fact, if no one knew that there were footprints by the stream at night, no one would come here specifically to check. The problem is that Chang Ning added branches and leaves to it.
As soon as the high school team and the people stepped on it, they noticed something was wrong. Which stream had dry branches and leaves? It would make a "clicking" sound when they stepped on it.
It was obviously someone who deliberately spread it to cover up something.
I was afraid that something would go wrong, so even if I found the booby trap high school team, I wouldn't be surprised.
Therefore, the high school team asked the players to stay away, while he carefully pushed aside the dead branches and leaves on it.
A tattered ground that had been deliberately scratched appeared in front of him. The light of the flashlight shone on it, and the careful high school team discovered that there were patterns on the edges.
They were obviously on the soles of military boots. The drill divided everyone into red and blue, but the equipment was the same. The high school team was very familiar with this pattern.
"They're nearby, chase them!"
The special team is like a pack of wolves hunting in the wild. They have a clear division of labor. Some are in front relying on the clues left by Chang Ning to track, while others are responsible for vigilance and always paying attention to changes in the surrounding environment.
The well-trained special forces did not slow down the team's progress because they had to maintain the search formation, but were extremely agile.
Chang Ning, who deliberately spared a lot of trouble, returned to their camp before twelve o'clock in the morning. twelve o'clock was Chen Guotao's sentry time, and Chang Ning didn't want to make people worry.
"who!"
Chen Guotao, who had woken up, quickly got up from his sentry position and pointed his gun at Chang Ning.
After he woke up and found that Chang Ning was missing, he searched around the area, but couldn't find anyone. He thought something had happened.
He was almost ready to fire a flare and exit the exercise.
This mountain forest is well protected, and there are wild animals in it, and I heard there are even wolves.
Chen Guotao thought that if Chang Ning didn't come back in half an hour, he would voluntarily withdraw from the exercise, so he asked someone to help him find it.
"Platoon commander, it's me!"
Hearing Chang Ning's familiar voice, Chen Guotao's heart dropped to his stomach.
"Fuck, where did you go? Do you know how worried I am about you? I'm afraid you will be eaten by wolves."
After grabbing Chang Ning, Chen Guotao lowered his voice and dealt with Chang Ning, spittle flying everywhere.
"Platoon commander, I went to deal with the traces we left. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't say anything."
Chang Ning carefully avoided the splashing saliva and explained to Chen Guotao.
Although Chang Ning does not behave like a 19-year-old boy in some aspects, this is due to the influence of his previous life. However, his social experience in his previous life was also pitiful, so he would be somewhat careless in doing things.
Just like this time, if Chang Ning had told Chen Guotao in advance, the effect would have been much better. At least there would be someone to help him keep a lookout, and he would have enough time to clean up the traces.
"Remember to tell me before you act next time."
Chen Guotao knew that Chang Ning also had good intentions, so he didn't argue with him.
"Platoon leader, I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here."
"you sure?"
Sometimes intuition is relatively reliable, and the intuition of veterans who have experienced a lot of actual combat is terrifyingly sharp.
They can always detect something wrong in an environment that seems to be fine, but when asked to explain it in detail, they can't explain why.
If you check that place later, you will find that there is indeed some kind of danger.
Chen Guotao is not a headstrong and arrogant person. As long as what the soldiers say makes sense, he will usually listen to it after considering it.
"Sure."
Chang Ning thought about it carefully and decided to follow his intuition.
Be careful with the Wannian Ship. Although running around like this gives everyone a bad rest, it is better than being eliminated.
"But you haven't rested yet. Can your body hold up?"
Chen Guotao was worried that Chang Ning was too tired, and he was opposed to this. Insufficient rest would make it difficult to concentrate and reduce business efficiency.
"It's okay, I took a rest before I met you and Xiaozhuang."
After carefully feeling his physical condition, Chang Ning felt that he could still hold on, and then said to Chen Guotao in a positive tone.
"Okay, you go wake up Xiaozhuang, and we will march to Highland 322 overnight." Chen Guotao said.
Chang Ning's strength and careful thinking made Chen Guotao attach great importance to his opinions. Since Chang Ning's body can still hold on, what reason does he have to reject other people's reasonable suggestions.
Don't you just be cautious? Is there anything you can't accept?
Waking up the confused Xiaozhuang, Chang Ning simply told Xiaozhuang that they had to take action in advance. After that, the three of them packed up their belongings and tried their best to restore the surrounding environment to its original state before heading towards Area 322. Darkness swallowed up their hurried figures.
…
"Captain, why do I feel like I'm getting further and further away?"
the special team member asked.
"Something is indeed wrong. The person who handled the traces was obviously a jerk, and he left some clues more or less.
Everyone, speed up, we are about to catch them."
The high school team picked up the broken branches on the ground and smiled rarely. The person he targeted was never lost.
The special team quickly ran towards Chang Ning's previous camp, but when they arrived at the pit, there was nothing but traces of life left on the ground. Obviously, they were a step slower.
"They rested here, which shows that the direction we are following is correct.
Everyone, keep chasing and hold on."
Although the special team led by the high school team is not as strong as the lone wolves, they are also veterans who have experienced actual combat. They naturally know what else they can do.
Silence is their background. They will never show mercy to their enemies and killing them all is their style.
Chang Ning's intuition saved him again, but he didn't know this. He just attributed this to his own caution.
The three of them marched hurriedly, covering ten kilometers and arriving at area 322. They were all numb the day after.
"Area 322 is not easy. How many times have we encountered anti-infantry mines since we entered here."
Xiaozhuang lowered his head and carefully stepped over the disguised mines, sighing.
They encountered all kinds of landmines along the way, including loose-haired mines, pressed-haired mines, round mines, and flat mines. They saw a lot of them.
This can be used as a teaching place for engineers.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It seems that there is something terrible hidden in area 322."
