"time flies."
At the shooting range, Tong Zhi looked at the calendar on his military watch.
"In the blink of an eye, we have been here for more than two months, and there are still more than ten days left. When they finish the assessment and their National Day military parade is over, we can fly home. I miss the food in our camp."
He stretched out his arm and handed it to Li Zheng.
"Smell it, the mutton here has such a strong smell. I have been eating it for more than two months, and every pore in my body smells like this."
Li Zheng seemed to be in a low mood, and his eyes kept falling on the shooters on the shooting ground.
Tong Zhi suddenly remembered something.
Li Zheng was about to be discharged from the army half a month after he returned this time.
His extension expired.
It seems that he is worried because of this matter.
Tong Zhi didn't want to mention this. He was also confused when it came to mentioning it and didn't know how to persuade him.
We are all adults, and we all have our own choices about how to go forward and how to live our lives.
Suddenly, a thick dark cloud floated in the distance, and the originally sunny weather suddenly changed its face and became cooler immediately.
This is a good thing.
You must know that the soldiers who lie down on the shooting range for training are most afraid of the kind of hot weather. The person lies on the ground and the crime tools in the crotch are half-cooked. It is as enjoyable as lying on the iron plate in the sauna and frying alive. One day When you get down, you will lose a few pounds.
But not long after, dark clouds filled the sky, and the day looked like evening, which seemed like nightfall.
Later, a bolt of lightning struck the ground not far away, splitting a tree as tall as a person in half and bursting into flames.
Li Zheng's expression changed and he said to Tong Zhi: "Deputy company commander, it seems we have to withdraw. It's not safe. There's a land mine!"
Tong Zhi looked at his watch and saw that it was eleven o'clock in the morning. Although it was not yet dinner time, it was almost there.
So he nodded and said: "You can let them finish their work and go back first. If they kill one, it will be difficult for us to explain."
Li Zheng ordered Captain Sandy to blow the whistle immediately and assemble, and hurriedly led the troops back to the camp.
I thought that if it rained, I would teach some Chinese passwords and military basics in the barracks, and then go out for training when the rain stopped in the afternoon.
But I didn't expect that the rain was a bit evil, and it didn't stop at once.
It was still the same until night, with thunder rumbling, and occasionally you could see several lightning flashes landing together in the distance, which was both spectacular and a bit heart-shaking.
The original climbing and CQB training in the afternoon could only be replaced by indoor physical exercises and theoretical knowledge explanations, and some time was squeezed in for them to sniper through rice grains under the eaves.
At night, the rain continued to pour.
The rainy season has arrived.
Rainwater is a very precious thing here.
The soldiers were very happy to see the heavy rain.
This means that today's crops can be harvested, and it also means that the wild animals in the wilderness will not die of thirst.
The rainy season is also the season when wild animals are most active, and everything seems so vibrant in this season.
At eight o'clock in the evening, a jeep stopped in front of the base gate.
The sentries are arranged in accordance with PLA regulations, with double gate posts and hidden sentries for double insurance.
What Tong Zhi and Li Zheng brought here was not only the PLA’s style and discipline, but also some unique experience.
The sentry stepped forward with his gun in hand. When he saw the car, the muzzle of the gun dropped.
The window rolled down, revealing the face of Colonel Diesel, Chief of Army Staff inside.
"Sir!"
The sentry saluted, then turned back and motioned to the sentry inside to open the door.
The door opened, and the off-road vehicle drove into the camp and finally stopped at the door of the company headquarters.
Diesel's arrival was unannounced and was considered a surprise attack. Company Commander Sandy, who was listening to music with his legs crossed and headphones on, jumped up from his chair.
"Sir..."
Sandy unplugged his headphones, a little nervous.
"Why are you here so late...I've been at the company headquarters and I didn't receive any notice that you were coming..."
Diesel's face looked a little complicated, a little serious, but also a little happy, with a little smile between his eyebrows.
"Sandy, something is urgent and I have to come in person."
"What's the matter?" Sandy said as he invited Diesel to the desk and pulled out the most comfortable chair for the chief executive to sit down.
"You immediately gather the officers above the platoon to the conference room at the company headquarters. I have some important tasks to give you."
Diesel glanced outside the door.
The rain is still heavy.
He asked again: "How has your training been recently?"
Sandy said: "It's very good. The instructors are very good. We learned a lot."
"That's good." Diesel waved his hand: "Let's go and gather people."
Sandy turned around and took two steps. Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and asked, "Where are the two instructors? Do you want to call them?"
Diesel thought for a moment and said, "Call me and let them listen."
Sandy went out looking for someone full of doubts.
It was so late and the chief came in person, but he was mysterious and said nothing.
What's going on?
Soon, the company headquarters conference room was filled with people.
Tong Zhi and Li Zheng were also sitting in it with confused expressions.
The rest were all officers from company platoon and above.
Diesel said straight to the point: "Today there is an urgent task. It's time for you to show off your skills."
Next, he briefly explained the reason for the incident.
In fact, it is not a big deal in itself.
The thing is like this. There is a national wildlife park in the southwest of country W. It is very famous. Further south of the zoo is the national border. Because of the war in country G next door, there are often armed organizations in the border area colluding with illegal businessmen to sneak into country W. Poaching.
The poached gorilla is a very rare and endangered animal in the world.
Therefore, in the southwest, there is a border police force dedicated to combating criminal poaching.
However, there was a firefight there yesterday. An anti-poaching enforcement vehicle carried out an attack. Two police officers in the vehicle were killed and one was injured.
Since it was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior, Colonel Broome mobilized the anti-terrorism unit to hunt down, vowing to bring this group of poachers to justice.
The anti-terrorism team was dispatched last night and had been practicing before. However, at 10:00 this evening, it lost contact with the headquarters and seemed to have disappeared.
Before contact was lost, news came from the anti-terrorism team's radio station that they had encountered militants and were exchanging fire, and then they went to contact them.
It was originally a poaching matter, not serious, but now that the anti-terrorism team has disappeared, the matter has become strange.
The National Defense Forces have already sent people there, but now there are violent storms there and floods have broken out in many places, so they have no choice but to withdraw first.
But time is precious, and no one knows what happened to the anti-terrorism team there, so they thought of the Army Special Operations Company, an emerging special operations force, and wanted to send them to see what happened.
Only then did Sandy understand why his boss Diesel looked serious and dignified but also seemed a little happy.
Bloom and Diesel are sworn enemies, and they are all competing for higher positions. Now that the anti-terrorist unit is in trouble, Diesel's army has made a grand debut. If he does well, he will have a bright career.
"Sandy, this task must be completed perfectly, you must not let me down!"
After speaking, Diesel turned to Li Zheng and Tong Zhi.
"Li, Tong, you two should not be involved in these things, but I still want to ask you to step in as a tactical guide. You don't need to be at the front line, you can only provide guidance. I know that you are all experts and you will definitely be able to help me. This is busy."
