Early the next morning, Zhuang Yan took everyone to the shooting range as usual. He practiced shooting for an hour and warmed up. As soon as he got into the state, he announced that everyone should get up and pack their things and prepare to go to the wild for a day of long march.
"Colonel Zhuang!"
Rimov appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of everyone.
"Where do you plan to go now?"
Zhuang Yan said frankly: "We plan to go around to familiarize ourselves with the terrain and do a long march."
Rimov said: "Are you going to familiarize yourself with the cross-country comprehensive sniper route?"
Zhuang Yan said: "You can think so, but I don't think it is entirely for this purpose. Of course, I have other intentions."
Rimov's eyes lit up: "What other purpose is there?"
Zhuang Yan said: "Of course, look at -"
He pointed to the mountains in the distance and drew a circle around them with his hand.
"The scenery in your country is so beautiful. It's a rare occasion for us to come out and just treat it as a sightseeing tour."
Rimov was a little disappointed.
Originally, Kassim asked him to keep an eye on Zhuang Yan and the Pla team to see what was up with them. After hearing Zhuang Yan say "there is another purpose," Rimov thought he could get some valuable information, but he didn't expect Zhuang Yan to directly say It's a sightseeing tour.
Of course he would not believe that a top sniper team representing China would actually come here and still have the heart to travel around.
However, he won't give up so easily.
Then he added: "The terrain around here is relatively complex, and it is easy to get lost. Besides, there are many military facilities nearby. For the sake of safety, I think it is better for me to be your guide today and accompany you."
Rimov was determined to stick to Zhuang Yan and see what he was up to.
I thought Zhuang Yan would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed directly.
"That's great. It would be better if you are willing to be a guide. However, the way we travel is a bit special. Today's plan is a total of 80 kilometers of cross-country journey. You must be mentally prepared."
80 kilometers a day?
Rimov's face suddenly looked ugly.
This is not something ordinary people can bear.
However, he was very curious. This group of pla special forces had only been here for less than two days, and they actually dared to go out alone on their own territory and boasted that they would travel 80 kilometers in a day. At this speed, they basically have to travel at a rate of 10 kilometers per hour in the wild. Speed is a test of physical strength.
He had some doubts about whether these plazas were bragging.
But he didn't refuse. He also had a mission, so he had no choice but to follow.
So, the group really set out from the entrance of the base and entered the primitive mountain forest again.
When he first set out, Rimov, who knew Chinese, was very talkative. With Balabala beside Zhuang Yan, he talked about everything from training to the country's scenery, except politics.
He was wearing a camouflage uniform today. In order to show that he was not bad, he actually took a backpack from his jeep with supplies in it. He carried an ARX-160 automatic rifle and put on a tactical vest in a serious manner. , looking serious about competing with the pla soldiers.
Li Zheng looked at him from behind and told Hou Jun that this lieutenant might want to compete with us in terms of physical fitness.
Hou Jun said, isn't it? If you're accompanying me, you're accompanying me, and you're fully armed just like the rest of us. I guess this guy is trying to show off our imbecility.
Zhong Rui said, just touch it, are you worried that he won't be able to touch it?
Liu Hai laughed and said, how about we play tricks on him?
When Hou Jun heard this, he immediately understood it, and then shouted to Zhuang Yan: "Brigadier, I have a request."
Zhuang Yan stopped, turned around and asked, "What request?"
Hou Jun said: "I think you said today's 80-kilometer journey was too easy. We discussed it and thought that since we have to adapt, we need to raise our standards to adapt to the environment here and see how fast we can go. So please increase the distance."
Zhuang Yan seemed to have guessed something and asked Hou Jun: "Tell me how much you want to add."
Hou Jun raised two fingers: "Add 20 kilometers! But I suggest that our two sniper teams can try it with you. I think the officers of other troops can forget it, so as not to be unable to keep up, let Deputy Zhong accompany him. Just walk around and meet up when we come back."
It sounds like he has good intentions and doesn't want to trouble Rimov. In fact, the implication is that Rimov's physical fitness is not good enough, so it's better not to follow.
Everyone knows that Rimov knows a little Chinese, and although it is not standard, there is no problem in listening.
This was said to him on purpose.
Sure enough, Rimov lost his face.
"I have no problem, I have no problem! Although I am not a contestant, I am also an officer of the Golden Special Forces, and my physical fitness is absolutely fine!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made an OK gesture.
"Isn't this good..." Zhuang Yan pretended to be embarrassed: "My soldiers are all wild, and I'm afraid it will trouble you. If we really add 20 kilometers, it will be a full 100 kilometers, which means we will have to travel all day long today. Non-stop, it’s not as simple as a quick march, it’s probably going to be a full-scale attack…”

"No, no, no!" Morris felt insulted. Where is this place? It’s country H! It's the so-called training base for your own army! It's your own territory!
These Chinese people actually say that they need to take care of their own feelings for fear that they won’t be able to keep up?
It was simply an insult to the special forces unit he was a part of.
"Colonel, I hope you understand that I have the final say here! This is our training area, our base, and our territory. If we can't do it, you definitely can't do it either."
Zhuang Yan immediately apologized: "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing with good intentions. You must be able to do it! In that case, fine, let's be together today."
After speaking, he turned to Zhong Zhipeng and said, "Old Zhong, you take the other comrades back first and wait for us at the base. We can go out for a walk and we should be able to return when the sun goes down in the evening."
Zhong Zhipeng is not a fool. He has long seen that these boys are holding back their bad intentions and want to give Rimov a good look, so he does not stop him. From the moment he entered the H country gate, the organizer has been making mistakes. He had already Already simmering with anger, it would be a good idea to let the boys teach this ignorant Rimov a lesson.
"No problem, please stay safe and keep in touch."
After Zhong Zhipeng finished speaking, he took the support personnel back to the base.
"So……"
After Zhuang Yan and others left, he politely made a gesture of invitation.
"Lieutenant, shall we start now? Just follow us."
"No, I will lead the way." Rimov continued his arrogance: "I am most familiar with this place. Please show me which route I will take today. I have a GPS here."
He took out the individual GPS terminal, but Zhuang Yan directly took out a map.
Rimov was stunned.
"You... still use a map?"
Zhuang Yan said: "This is stipulated in the competition subjects. Aren't you the ones who set the rules? You can only use paper maps and compasses and travel according to the azimuth."
Rimov was a little unbelievable: "You mean, today's 100 kilometers must be run according to the map?"
Before Zhuang Yan could speak, Hou Jun said first: "Yes, yes, Lieutenant, this is our plan. Can't you leave without GPS?"
Rimov quickly denied: "Of course not!"
He hurriedly put away the GPS, took out the map, and handed it to Zhuang Yan.
"Colonel Zhuang, can you mark the route for me?"
Zhuang Yan didn't say anything, nodded and started working directly on his map with a red pen, and quickly marked out today's march map.
Rimov took it and took a look, and was immediately shocked.
The homework on the map is actually not difficult. If you take more than a dozen classes, learn the basic knowledge, and practice a few times, you can basically perform simple tasks such as route calibration on the map.
But why was Rimov surprised?
This is because it is not difficult to calibrate the route, but it is difficult to calibrate a scientific and convenient route. Although the distance and calibration of some routes are fine, they are not practical for marching because the terrain is complex and you cannot just look at the terrain and the terrain on the map. Contour lines can be drawn casually based on your imagination. Instead, you need to pay attention to the comprehensive factors such as water, mountains, roads, soil quality, etc., and combine it with variable factors such as climate and season to work out the easiest and most suitable marching route.
Rimov is familiar with this area and knows where to go and where not to go in this season. For example, in spring, some places have just melted snow, and the slopes are steep, which is prone to road damage and even landslides. It is best not to go in that kind of place. The place passes through, and due to seasonal reasons, the river overflows. You need to pay attention to the width and depth of the river as it is deeper and wider than what is shown on the map. Try to avoid crossing the river...
The route drawn by Zhuang Yan perfectly avoided everything, which made him deeply admire Zhuang Yan's skill in using pictures.
I had heard Kasim say that his Chinese classmate was a powerful character. As a young officer who had studied in an overseas special forces school, Rimov was a little dissatisfied.
Now, I really have to accept it.
