march to victory

There are no roads in the world, but roads are formed when there are many people walking!

That's how the trail came out.

And the name of the small road was also called out by everyone, and there were many people who called it, so everyone called this small road that way.

The small road connects the sniper platoon training ground to the cliff on the west side of Qinglong Mountain. It is a small road for training and transfer.To be precise, the trail has only the middle and no entrance, because both ends of its entrance are a forest about 50 meters deep. How can ordinary people think that they have to go more than 50 meters deep into the primeval forest to find the trail?

What's more, this trail is not a one-way road to the end, and there are two big turns in the middle (the route is specially designed, in case the enemy finds the existence of the trail and chases it, it can confuse the enemy), There is also a relatively steep slope (in case you can't get rid of the pursuers, you can use the terrain to form a natural blocking position here.).

More importantly, there is a safehouse more than 30 meters to the left of the upper end of the slope... It is actually a cellar, but food, ammunition and first aid supplies are stored in it.

Due to the emphasis on this trail, its secrecy is very high: in the past, apart from the snipers, only Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong knew about the entire assault group.But this time, in order to exert the greatest miraculous effect of the trail—the main purpose of disclosing the location of this trail to Peng Peng was to leave a safe passage for the Fourth Battalion to retreat.

Later, Peng Peng was afraid that if he died unfortunately, everyone would lose this key retreat route. After Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingshan held a meeting and decided, the four company commanders of the Fourth Battalion were specially approved to know its existence. Followed the four company commanders to walk back and forth on the path—at that time, there were only five of them, which showed how high the secrecy was and how much importance was attached to it.

And this trail was also one of the reasons why Zhang Qingshan dared to lead the enemy into the virgin forest during the first Qinglong Mountain defense battle... The assault group has been operating in this virgin forest for more than half a year. It is normal to use back measures such as emergencies.

At the beginning, all the commanders and fighters of the Second Company only knew that the task they were going to perform this time might be very difficult, but they didn't know what they were going to do.Seeing that the company commander led everyone directly into the virgin forest, and there was no road under their feet - since the snipers left such a large area of ​​confusion, they would naturally pay attention to their feet, and would not keep stepping on the same place, so as not to leave traces .

Everyone was inevitably a little surprised: the company commander dared to go, what are we afraid of, the company commander can't lead everyone directly to the depths of the primeval forest.

However, after walking for tens of meters, they saw the company commander disappearing into a bush. Everyone was startled and hurried to follow.

Drilling into the undergrowth, there were obvious traces of people stepping on the ground under the feet. Only then did everyone notice that there was a small path under the feet.

The second company commander stopped at this time, took out four bamboo hats from a pile of grass, and then chopped off four thumb-thick, nearly two-meter-long branches with a big knife.At the same time, the three people who walked in the front were given a bamboo hat and a branch.

While putting on the bamboo hat, he said: "Comrades, pay attention. Although this road is a trail stepped on by other comrades, no one has walked it for several days. In this virgin forest, as long as there is no road in a few hours When people pass by, it is inevitable that things like poisonous insects will crawl back, not to mention it will take several days. Therefore, everyone must be careful of things like snakes and spiders. Don't worry, you must walk steadily, and Look at the comrades around you more."

"There are a lot of leeches in this primary color forest. Everyone tie up your trouser legs tightly, and put all your clothes inside the trousers. You must also tie them tightly, lest wild leeches get in, and it will bleed. By the way, there are also every Personal towels should be wrapped around the neck, which not only absorbs sweat but also prevents poisonous snakes from biting their necks and resisting wild leeches from getting in through their necks...Okay, let’s see mine. Of course, experienced comrades can also demonstrate to everyone..." After wearing the hat, the second company commander began to tighten the trouser legs again, and put all the clothes into the trousers, tightened the belt around the waist, and then checked whether the comrades around him were tight, and said to everyone: " The squad leader of each class must carefully check the comrades in his class, and no one is allowed to be missed, so we must take precautions."

After everyone checked and got ready, the commander of the second company took a long branch and walked forward and said to the three people who were also dressed behind him: "You must put on your bamboo hats, because no one knows, what? Sometimes there will be snakes falling from both sides of the road. As the road openers, we should try our best to brush the branches on both sides of the grass several times... Don't be afraid of wasting your energy, let alone think this work is troublesome, you know There are poisonous snakes hidden in the grass and dead leaves on the side of the road, so we must be patient when we fight the grass to scare the snake, which is saving the lives of ourselves and our comrades.”

He said this and did it again, and everyone naturally followed suit.

So, the four took the lead, and the two walked side by side, sweeping both sides of the road with the branches in their hands while walking, so that after the grass and the snakes were stunned, the poisonous insects would run far away and would not hurt the soldiers behind.

"Ah! Snake!"

Maybe it is really to remind everyone to pay attention, or to respond to the correctness of what the second company commander did. No, everyone just walked more than 20 meters. Suddenly, the soldier on the left of the second company commander yelled, which aroused everyone's curiosity Look over here.

Sure enough, in the grass, there was a two-finger-wide, more than one meter long, black-covered poisonous snake with a triangular head, and it was flying towards the grass on the left.

It's just a venomous snake, what's the fuss about?

The commander of the second company rolled his eyes at this soldier, and was about to remind the other party not to be so surprised. After all, in the virgin forest, it is normal to encounter poisonous snakes, and if he was not bitten, he had already prepared for it... Of course, everyone After making so many preparations, if he was bitten by a poisonous snake or a poisonous spider, he would really have nothing to say, and he could only blame himself for being too unlucky.

Unexpectedly, the soldier stared at the back of the poisonous snake with bright eyes, smacked his lips, and said with regret on his face: "It's a pity, if it wasn't for the mission, otherwise, if we catch it back, we will definitely die!" It's delicious... um! It should weigh two catties, enough for the comrades in our class to improve their meals."

This guy... is really speechless.

The second company commander shook his head, and said lightly: "Okay, there are plenty of opportunities. When this battle is over, I'll bring everyone here to hunt wild game and improve food for everyone. How about it?"

"it is good!"

Everyone burst into smiles, as if they really saw the table full of wild game, everyone eating meat and drinking in big bowls...Although everyone knows that this battle may not have many survivors, but I have a good wish After all, it is good, and it is not bad to think about it.

"Okay, keep going, keep quiet, don't be surprised."

The team went on.

"Hey! Did you see that half-slap-sized spider, that is the famous Black Widow, bite, tsk! Tsk..." A soldier in the second class whispered to a soldier in the third class who was walking behind: "Last time, Lao Peng in our class was bitten by this guy. Good guy, his right leg was swollen so high, and there were blisters, he looked really terrified. This was treated in time on the spot, and it was The herbal treatment provided by the local Orion, otherwise, Lao Peng might be finished."

"so smart?"

"Of course, let me tell you. I was there at the time. When our squad leader saw this guy biting Lao Peng, you pulled out your daggers and directly cut off a piece of flesh from the wound on Lao Peng's right calf that was bitten. At that time, that The blood turned black..."

Hearing that this guy was blowing more and more, the soldier from the third class looked forward and asked in a low voice, "Who is Lao Peng?"

"Then... hey~! Lao Peng was sacrificed when he fought against him just now."

The two of them fell silent for a moment. The word comrade-in-arms has a different flavor here. Whether they know each other or not, as long as they are comrades-in-arms, sacrifice will always make people feel uncomfortable.

Along the way, everyone exchanged a few words in a low voice at first, but after walking for a long time, everyone lost the mood to talk and put them on the side of the road.It was not because of tiredness, but because poisonous snakes and spiders appeared one after another on the side of the road, which made everyone feel a little nervous, and naturally concentrated their minds, so they lost the mind to speak.

suddenly!

"Little Huang, stop and don't move!"

The second company commander heard that the voice was not far away from him, so he couldn't help but look back.Seeing a soldier a few meters behind him being stopped by his squad leader, and the squad leader looked solemn, the second company commander knew that something had happened, so he asked the other three soldiers to continue fighting ahead, but he walked back to the two of them .

"Little Huang, untie the towel around your neck."

Xiao Huang didn't know what happened, but after hearing what the monitor said, he quickly took off the towel.

At this time, from the outside, there is nothing unusual.

However, the squad leader took a step forward and turned Xiao Huang's collar outwards. A wild leech that had swelled to the size of a little finger due to blood sucking happened to be lying across Xiao Huang's neck—it was blocked by the collar just now.

"what!"

When the soldier behind Xiao Huang saw such a big wild leech sucking blood on Xiao Huang's neck, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.

The squad leader looked at the soldier coldly, and was about to speak, but when the second company commander saw the leech, he immediately said: "To take this thing, you can either burn it with fire, or use salt, or pat it hard, but now, I'm afraid it's not easy to shoot, but fortunately, I have already prepared refined salt here."

The commander of the second company took out a small box from his pocket as he spoke. When he opened it, there were small white particles of refined salt in it, a full three taels... In fact, the commander of the second company had two such boxes on him, both of which were filled with salt.And these, including the previous bamboo hats, were prepared for them by the snipers in advance-salt is very important in this vast virgin forest, salt water can not only disinfect, but also prepare delicious food, and at this time, wild leeches can also be removed from the body Come down without further trouble.

Unexpectedly, the squad leader smiled bitterly and said, "Company commander, I'm afraid you should prepare more salt."
