The Second Reconnaissance Company of the 1601st Battalion of the Special Service Regiment dispatched a seven-man commando team composed of non-commissioned officers to form a reconnaissance and search formation, and slowly approached the place where the gunfire came from along the open space between the barren grass and bushes on the mountainside in late autumn.

No. 2 was armed with an L/QBB-06 rifle, loaded with 8 rounds of deer bullets, and under the muzzle of the gun was a bayonet specially made for special forces (that is, it was painted with a layer of paint, and the technology was not enough, so it could only be used alive), and slowly walked to the front, doing the work of opening the way.

This position, the so-called vanguard, is the most dangerous and the most responsible position among the soldiers.

When the vanguard opens the road, it is the force of splitting the bushes, wading through the water to measure the sound, and climbing the mountain to find the way, and when encountering the enemy, the vanguard is the first cannon fodder to be shot.

Therefore, many times in the army, in times of war, those soldiers who do not abide by discipline or violate military discipline will be pushed out as vanguards.

Of course, the commandos are all sergeants, and this reconnaissance company is an elite unit selected from the company, and it is impossible for such misfits to appear.

So, the commandos chose to determine the order of the actions by the size of the number.

However, No. 1 was the company lieutenant, and as the supreme commander of this detachment, he could not be the vanguard.

Not because of his high rank, but because of his high rank, as a commander, his duty is to command and lead everyone to complete the task, and he is the most important person in the team, so the code name is postponed by Shunshun, and the second has become the vanguard.

No. 2, as the vanguard, acted very carefully.

He was followed by Deputy Hu Lian, codenamed No. 1, who was in charge of commanding and helping the vanguard to observe the dangers that might be encountered on the road ahead.

The remaining commandos three and four, who were responsible for alerting the danger in the left direction; Captains 5 and 6 were responsible for guarding against danger on the right, while number 7 was responsible for the work behind the palace in case the enemy copied the back road in the rugged mountain road.

If it's daytime, you can see what's going on in the area where the gunshots are fired.

But now, in the darkness of night, it is necessary to climb at least three mountains before you can get close to the enemy.

The roads in the mountains are extremely difficult to walk, and on the plains, you can travel more than 60 kilometers a day on an ordinary Mongolian horse, and on foot, a large army can travel 20 kilometers a day.

But in the mountains, it's only one-third of this speed at most, which is already good. And now it's a night march, which adds a bit of ruggedness.

Although the commandos had anticipated the difficulty of marching in the mountains at night, they finally found that the difficulties they had thought of before were still too good.

One or two nocturnal animals popped out from time to time on the mountainside, startling everyone, but fortunately, everyone was a veteran, and each of them was a non-commissioned officer, so they were very restrained, and they did not shoot at will to expose the target.

Occasionally, a few poisonous insects burrowed into the commandos' necks and trouser legs from the ground, grass, tree tops, etc.

There are also a lot of very annoying flies, insects, mosquitoes, and the like flying around people's faces, looking for a chance to get their mouths.

The insect repellent sprayed before had no effect.

As he walked, No. 4 suddenly reached out and patted his neck, and scolded in a low voice, "Damn, when I go back, I must find someone in charge of medical affairs to make trouble, what the hell are these guys developing, it has no effect at all." ”

No. 6, who was on guard with his back to him, also flew up, kicked a coiled snake with a boot with a steel plate, and then comforted, "Okay, don't complain, the potion we sprayed is also effective, don't you dare to take the lead in attacking after you see the snake coming to us?" It's good enough. ”

No. 5 also said, "No. 4, don't be impatient, these wild places are like this, and besides, how can any medicine drive away all insects, do you know how many kinds of insects I saw in the forest when I was hunting in Liaodong before?" ”

Hearing this, Number Four was curious: "How much?" Ten? Or twenty? ”

Number Five laughed when he heard this, "Haha, you're really funny, twenty kinds?" What do you think is the old forest? Twenty more? Let me tell you, in the two years that I followed the elders of the tribe to the forest to identify medicinal herbs, I saw no less than 300 species of insects. ”

Everyone gasped in unison, all taken aback.

No. 5 sighed, "That's right, it's at least three hundred, this is still the skill of identifying medicinal herbs that I only learned for two years, and then the tribe ate less, so I can only follow the adults to hunt, and I don't have the leisure to count insects anymore."

Tell me, there are so many kinds of insects in the forest, and each of them has different habits, how can the medical department develop a deworming drug that can repel all insects? Isn't that embarrassing? ”

Number Four lamented, "Well, that's true, can't we really avoid bugs in the future?" ”

Seven was a little puzzled, "Four, why do you say that?" As long as the Houjin army in the south is defeated, there will be fewer opportunities to fight in the forest in the future, what do you have to worry about? ”

"Don't you know, I have a fellow countryman who is a staff officer in the General Staff, and when we were chatting, he said that the kingdom has never actually put Houjin in its eyes.

Although we don't have the ability to destroy Houjin now, once three or five years have passed, and various technologies have matured one after another, we can directly bulldoze Houjin.

For in the king's mind, our enemies come from the sea. ”

No. 3 questioned loudly, "Will you bulldoze Houjin in three or five years?" How can it be? That's a powerful country that can muster 100,000 cavalry at any time. ”

Number Four shrugged his shoulders, "I don't believe it either, but, that's what the people in the General Staff said, they even did a pretty good job of planning for future operations against the ocean." ”

"I'm still not convinced, but if I can do it, it wouldn't be bad. Forget it, I don't want to go so far, how the king commands, we will fight, don't bother yourself. So why do you have to be afraid of bugs when you go to sea? ”

"Alas, you don't know, I went to Annam with a convoy, and the kingdom had established a great plantation there, planting a tree bought from overseas, like a rubber tree.

I followed the troops to that ghost place for half a year, it was simply a region, and the heat was unbearable, and I was so hot that I was bare-chested.

It rained for several months, without stopping in between, and everywhere there was mud everywhere, big puddles, and there was not even a serious road. ”
