"Check your training bags and see if you have all the things? Food, water, flashlight, compass, maps, climbing ropes, engineer shovels, knives and whistles..."

The brigade instructor Xiao Kecheng was wearing a camouflage uniform and walked around in front of the queue.

On the entire school campus, all the students gathered around several classes in the playground that were about to start as a search team, whispering in a low voice.

"When I was taking the military topography course, I once told you that if it is not necessary and if it is not special, try to avoid night marching. But tonight is a special situation. The third squad of the first squadron has not reached the meeting point so far. If you guessed correctly, they should have encountered some difficulties during the marching process."

"Your five classes are the best classes in military terrain from the entire brigade. In the past few days, your subject completion has been the best. This is why you were selected as the search team. In addition to your squad leader, each search team will also lead the team instructors of our brigade headquarters or district captains who are proficient in terrain."

"Now, your map has marked the search range of each class and the area where the three class most likely has problems. We will conduct key searches in the designated areas. Each person's whistle will blow every once in a while. If the three class hears the whistle, they will respond."

"After you discover the third squad, you will use the radio station you carry in the squad to contact 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 squad is found, if there is any injury, you can choose an open area nearby. The division has reported the situation here to the group army. Now the army's aviation regiment is on standby at the airport and can take off and rescue at any time."

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

During this search, each student was equipped with thirty live ammunitions to prevent some unexpected situations.

Although Zhuang Yan had never dealt with people from the first squadron and third squadrons, those were all comrades from his own brigade.

Get lost in the jungle, Zhuangyan knew very well that the situation was indeed not good.

Today, Class 7 was almost collapsed on the way.

If I hadn't had a good life, I'm afraid I don't know how much time it would take to return to Hu Town.

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

Everyone seemed to be in a very anxious mood.

After a while of discussion, several class monitors and instructors seemed to have reached a consensus. Luo Xiaoming took off his hat, kneaded it into a ball and squeezed it in his hands, and walked to the front of Class 7: "Class 7! Are you ready? Let's set off right away!"

His tone suddenly became very strong, and his eyes were shining with an unstoppable light.

Everyone was shocked and stood up quickly, put the gun and backpack on their shoulders in unison, and replied in unison: "Squad Leader, we are ready!"

Luo Xiaoming adjusted the camouflage training package, turned around, his eyes crossed the wall of Huzhen Central Primary School, and looked at the irresistible primeval forest in the distance for a long time without saying a word.

Then he returned to the front of the team, raised his finger and pointed it in the distance, and shouted: "Today, even if we traveled through this mountainous area, we will still find Class 3 back!!"

A full love seeped out of the words, and there was a kind of sacredness and solemnity in the air. Time paused. The twelve soldiers who were already very tired suddenly became energetic. They stood on the playground like iron cast, with an indescribable force flowing in their blood, filling everyone's chests and blood vessels.

Luo Xiaoming asked: "Do you have confidence?"

"have!"

The team left Huzhen again and walked towards the mountain.

After entering the mountainous area, everyone slowly advanced into a column in a row and along the way, everyone blew the whistle every few minutes.

The flashlight illuminates the road ahead clearly. Everyone has six spare batteries on their bodies, enough to hold on until dawn.

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

Some snakes like to come out to find food at night, and they will definitely be hit if they step on them.

Just like in the teaching brigade, Zhu Yeqing, who could meet the passing Zhu Yeqing after taking a bath by the river several times.

Teacher Xiao, who was in charge of leading the team, stopped twice in two hours, each time spread out the map for terrain comparison, and then chose the route he thought he would encounter with Class 3 to continue walking.

In fact, the deeper you go, the more your solemn heart sinks.

It has been two hours since I saw no trace of Ship 3...

The surroundings are covered with darkness, except for the stars in the sky, basically all the scenery is blurred.

Solemn and irrespectable, in this case, like looking for a needle in a haystack,

There are continuous new discoveries, and you can see cut down trees and cut vines along the way. Those fresh cuts indicate that Ship 3 is right in front.

The more Luo Xiaoming goes, the heavier heavier heavier heels, and the further away from the correct marching route, the more dangerous the third shift will be.

Less than a kilometer, a mountain suddenly appeared in front of me.

Luo Xiaoming spread out the map, looked at it and said, "Oh no, do they want to take a shortcut from the north and return to the meeting point?"

Zhuang Yan squatted down and asked, "Squad leader, if they headed from the north towards the assembly point, then it would have been a long time ago. Look here!" He gestured on the military map with his hands. The shortcut to the north from the intersection of the valley was nearly 10 kilometers less than the correct route!

Xu Xingguo snorted with his nose on the side and said, "Look clearly, there is a cliff there. Look how dense the contour line is. It's not that the cliff is so steep that it's steep. He suddenly shuddered, it's no! He didn't forcefully get off the cliff and fell down!"

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

At this time, Wang Datong, who was looking in front of the team, suddenly shouted: "Squad Leader! Squad Leader! There are people on the mountain!"

Luo Xiaoming jumped up like a spring and looked in the direction Wang Datong pointed. Sure enough, a soldier in a camouflage uniform jumped and ran to the foot of the mountain, looking anxious.

He took out a small trumpet from his camouflage pocket and put it in his mouth and blew it hard.

Beep beep beep beep —

The rapid trumpet aroused the idea of ​​the soldier on the mountainside. He stopped his foot from afar, looked around from afar, and suddenly ran towards him like running away.

"It must be from Class 3!" Xiao Kecheng concluded, "Come and take a look!"

All the students in Class 7 were greatly energetic!

Finally found it!

There is almost no need to verify, everyone believes that it is from the third squadron!

Everyone quickly moved closer to the soldier.

Finally, the two sides met at the foot of the mountain. Xu Yuan stopped running in front of Xiao Kecheng, and gasped and said in a crying voice: "Teacher Xiao, we are lost!"

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

Xu Yuan was still out of breath and said, "I am Xu Yuan from Class 3!"

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

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

Xiao Kecheng squatted down and expanded the map, "What direction is your class in? How is the current situation of the fainted soldier?"

Xu Yuan scanned the map several times, but he couldn't point out the approximate location.

He already had some psychological shadow.

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

"I just need an approximate location, where did you get into the wrong path?" asked Xiao Kecheng.

Xu Yuan took a breath, pointed his fingers at the coordinates of the valley that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"Did you go back now?"

"The comrades in the class asked me to come out and ask for help. They said they were carrying the unconscious Liu Xiangdong on the same road, so... I really don't know where they are now..." Xu Yuan's eyes turned red in an instant.

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

He took out the signal gun, loaded the bullet, and shot into the sky.

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

Around it, there is a bright spot.

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

He asked again: "Who is willing to stay and take care of him?"

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

He noticed that Xu Yuan's lips had cracked.

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

Xu Yuan was drinking water with Li Zhaoxin's kettle. 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 refused to discuss: "This is my order! It's not a question, do you understand? Soldier! You are not suitable to continue participating in the search, otherwise you will not be able to hold on to it later, and it will become a burden."

"No, I can..."

"Enough! Don't you understand what I said? This is the order!" Xiao Ke roared like a tiger, completely shocking Xu Yuan who was talking.

Xiao Kecheng turned around and pulled Luo Xiaoming aside and said, "The situation seems not good. If someone has heatstroke and coma in the dusk... This will be a lot of trouble..."

Of course, Luo Xiaoming knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded, "You must send people out as quickly as possible."

Xiao Kecheng put the map on his forearm and opened it. His index finger knocked heavily on a road on the map and said, "I guess they will be within this range in the third shift. After finding them, we will come here! This is the closest to the current location and there is an open area. I will use the radio to notify the brigade of our coordinates later, and then go there to wait for the helicopter!"

"Yes!" Luo Xiaoming nodded vigorously, turned around and waved his hand: "Second Class 7, we're leaving! Take out your fastest speed. Now a comrade is in a coma. We want to race against time and find them as soon as possible to determine their location!"
Chapter completed!
