I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 591: Missing, the most difficult night

Not long after Chen Jun came out, a team of patrolling sentries hurried over from a distance.

"Hello, Captain!!"

The patrol leader in the lead saw Chen Jun standing here, and he hurriedly stopped and stood at attention.

Chen Jun waved his hand, then looked up at the sky and said, "Such heavy snow, is the cold front coming early?"

"Report, more than that."

The sentry replied with an unpleasant expression, and then continued: "Captain, we haven't seen this kind of blizzard for many years. If it continues, it will be a meter thick in three hours, which is enough to bury all the barracks in one night."

"We must dispatch manpower to notify fellow villagers living in the border trading area to take shelter in the air-raid shelter as soon as possible."

While the report was being made, Wang Jianxing, Gao Kui and Bian Wentong came out of the greenhouse to check the situation.

When I saw the snowflakes as big as leaves, they had changed from being scattered just now to gathering together and falling like cotton balls.

It's so densely packed, it's really scary.

Several people's expressions also changed.

Even if Chen Jun didn't understand the bad weather at the border, he knew the situation was serious when he saw the snow falling like an avalanche.

After all, he was the regiment commander, and the two months he spent in the Linzhi regiment headquarters were not in vain.

When Chen Jun realized something was wrong, he immediately gave the order: "Go, notify the first row, second row, and third row, and immediately go to the homes of the villagers and warn them door to door. Move all valuables, cattle, sheep, and livestock to the underground air-raid shelter."

"After the villagers were evacuated, soldiers were arranged to help them clear the snow from their roofs to ensure that their property was not damaged."

"Fourth Platoon, Fifth Platoon, gather all your forces and guard the entrance and exit of Lamujia. If you find any returning criminals, strike them head-on. No need to report."

"All personnel from the Sixth Platoon and the Company Headquarters, including those from the Regiment Headquarters, will move the Company Headquarters' supplies to the air-raid shelter. The rest of the soldiers will clear the snow to ensure that the building will not collapse due to the heavy snow."

"Excuting an order!!"

Chen Jun's order was given so decisively that the sentry who had just come to report was confused.

Gao Kui even opened his mouth. He originally wanted to give a similar order, but he never thought that the new captain had clearer ideas than him.

Seeing the sentry still standing there without moving, Gao Kui cursed, "Damn it, what are you standing there for?"

"Didn't you hear the captain's order? Hurry up and notify the assembly."

"Yes!!!"

The Ramujia Border Defense Company is a reinforced company with nearly two hundred people, and they were accompanied by orders.

The soldiers in each row hurriedly began to move.

Chen Jun put his hands on his hips, looking towards the dark Mus River in Nepal in the distance with a dim gaze. There were no snow-capped mountains blocking the north-south border on this side, and the Hui elements were entrenched on the other side of the river.

What these guys are best at is taking advantage of chaos to harass, and he always feels that tonight will not be peaceful.

"Captain."

Wang Jianxing limped to the back of Chen Jun, and a dozen soldiers from the regiment headquarters held their guns tightly and protected him on both sides.

Obviously, they understood better than Chen Jun that in such extreme weather conditions, the most dangerous thing was not natural disasters, but enemies that might jump out from the dark at any time.

Fortunately, the Ramujia camp is far away from the towering snow-capped mountains, so there is no need to worry about the danger of avalanches. Otherwise, with such a heavy snowstorm, the company would have to move as soon as possible.

Chen Jun knew what the other party wanted to say, which was nothing more than moving to the air-raid shelter to command. It was obviously impossible to leave Ramuga at this time.

The speed at which they moved was not as fast as the speed at which the blizzard came down.

Chen Jun shook his head slightly, raised his hand to brush off the snow on his hat and shoulders, and then said seriously: "Old Wang, in this kind of weather, can't the management department give an early warning?"

"No."

Wang Jianxing smiled bitterly: "The cold current is coming from the Zhongba Plateau. The coverage area and various factors are all natural phenomena. According to the current level of weather forecasting, it is not possible to predict it in advance."

"I haven't seen this kind of blizzard for many years, but I can be sure that the area involved won't be too large, probably only a few dozen kilometers in radius."

Chen Jun realized that Lao Wang's words were not meant to comfort him, and he also let out a long sigh.

If the coverage area is too large, many frontline border troops will have to be relocated to avoid the blizzard.

This is not good news.

Looking back at the soldiers standing behind him, Chen Jun sighed and said, "You don't have to follow me all the time. Arrange seven or eight people to keep an eye on the sentry post."

"Other comrades, please follow us to transfer the company's supplies. Even if there is a natural disaster, at least we must ensure that our soldiers and fellow villagers have enough food and clothing."

"Let's get started."

"Captain."

Wang Jianxing originally wanted to stop him, but when he saw Chen Jun had already taken action, he picked up a broom from the entrance of the air-raid shelter and followed the soldiers of the company to clear the snow on the roof skylights.

He could only shake his head helplessly and divided the soldiers who followed from the regiment headquarters into several groups, arranging some to serve as secret sentries around the barracks and some to the watchtower.

The rest, including Li Wujie, all followed the leader closely to prevent any emergency.

The blizzard is still falling.

The temperature dropped suddenly and the wind continued to blow hard.

The sun was still shining brightly during the day. Although it was not hot, the sky was still clear.

At nightfall, the world seemed to have changed. Strong winds swept up dense snowflakes, blocking the soldiers' vision.

In this kind of extreme weather, even the most advanced technology would be helpless, but fortunately, strong winds are not completely useless.

The heavy snow was blown by the wind and it was difficult to stay on the roof. It was blown to the distant corners of the wall or the corners of the mountain and piled up.

In just less than two hours, the walls were covered tightly with snow piles several meters high.

At this time, manual cleaning was no longer effective, so Chen Jun had to take his men to the underground air-raid shelter to take shelter.

The underground air-raid shelter on the Ramujia side was quite large. When they first squeezed in, it was pitch black all around, with blurry figures and the faint sound of sheep.

Just now outside, everyone pulled down the ear covers of their fur hats to keep out the cold. Chen Jun didn't take off his hat until they were inside the cave. He turned his head to look around, then took out a flashlight from his cotton coat pocket and turned it on.

Seeing Li Wujie and Wang Jianxing standing in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was too windy just now. Let's go inside and see if all the soldiers in the company are here."

"Let's not worry about the outside at this time. Let's wait until daybreak."

"to make."

Wang Jianxing also quickly took out a flashlight from his pocket and turned it on. During the border patrol, they were outside most of the time, and they carried lighting equipment such as flashlights with them.

"Each class quickly counts the number of people and reports back."

They had not taken a few steps inside when instructor Bian Wentong came over quickly. He shielded the flashlight with his hands and discovered that they were the regiment commander and the chief of staff.

Bian Wentong also heaved a sigh of relief: "Captain, it's too snowy outside. I've ordered the comrades to be withdrawn first."

"The fellow villagers are here too. Let's work hard here for one night. Judging from the wind and snow, it will probably stop tomorrow, but the mountain will definitely be closed."

"This kind of blizzard is most likely to cause an avalanche. We don't know how long our supplies can last." "It's okay."

Listening to Bian Wentong's concerns, Wang Jianxing grinned and said, "During the day, I arranged for the soldiers to go down the mountain to the supply camp to contact the political commissar. Originally, it was to inform the regiment commander that he was about to go back. If the mountain is closed in advance."

"At least the comrades down the mountain can get the news first."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Bian Wentong looked obviously relaxed. In fact, only the people in the border defense company were fine. At least there were supplies in the company, so they could hold out for ten days or half a month.

But now with the addition of fellow villagers, people have to eat and horses have to eat, so supplies are somewhat tight.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a loud roar suddenly came from deep in the air-raid shelter.

“Linzi—Linzi?!!”

The shouts echoed particularly loudly in the cave, alarming many people and rushing over to where the sound came from.

Chen Jun's face changed. He didn't know many people in the Ramujia Border Defense Company, but he happened to know this veteran nicknamed Linzi.

From the sound, it sounded very much like the Lin Mu he had just met during the day, a native of Longyuan who had been in the army for seven years and was a veteran border guard.

The echo was still lingering in his ears, and Chen Jun had involuntarily quickened his pace.

Lin Mu's words kept ringing in his mind: "Captain, you really don't have to worry about me. I'm used to being here. When you go back, just bring me a few letters from home. I've saved up several over the past few months. Just let my family know that I'm here."

That tall, simple man, with faded coat and suede shoes on his feet.

In an environment like Ramujia's, it is absolutely impossible that he can't even afford clothes. If he can wear old clothes and old shoes, there is only one possibility.

Lin Mu saved the new coat and suede shoes and mailed them home, because the winter in Longyuan is also very cold.

This is a veteran, nothing will happen to him.

Chen Jun's mind was a little confused. He pushed the crowd away with both hands and rushed to the front.

At this time, the company commander Gao Kui and the platoon leader who had just shouted noticed him coming and hurriedly stood at attention.

Chen Jun didn't care about these empty formalities. He quickly waved his hand, staring at the lieutenant in front of him, and asked anxiously: "The Lin Zi you just called, is it Lin Mu?"

"Yes, Lin Mu is the squad leader of the ninth squad of the third platoon. He is responsible for assisting in the evacuation of the villagers. However, all the soldiers in the platoon have returned, and he was the only one who was not there when roll call was taken."

"Look, look again. The air-raid shelter here is so big, he may be somewhere else."

Chen Jun took a deep breath and gave the order.

The soldiers around all started to get busy, and shouts continued to spread.

In fact, Chen Jun knew very well in his mind that Lin Mu was most likely not in the air-raid shelter, because the other party was a soldier, a veteran, and a squad leader.

If I were here, I would never run around on my own, at least I would be with the soldiers in my class.

"forest?!!!"

"Linzi?!!!"

The comrades who had been through thick and thin together had their voices hoarse from shouting, and they were eagerly hoping that the other side would respond in the dark air-raid shelter.

But ten minutes passed, and then twenty minutes passed.

Hundreds of fellow villagers and nearly two hundred border guards worked together to search, and even the largest air-raid shelter would be searched.

Still no response.

Chen Jun clenched his fists and walked quickly to the other entrance of the air-raid shelter. It was still pitch black outside. The strong wind and heavy snow blocked his vision to less than three meters.

At this time, if we arrange people to go out and search, more people will go missing.

"Captain."

Even though Wang Jianxing was extremely anxious at this time, he could only try his best to restrain himself and stand in front of Chen Jun and try to comfort him with a few words.

Tonight, he himself couldn't count how many times he called out "Captain" but there was no response.

When the new team leader first arrived, he did look down on him from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was just a young man with a gilded reputation.

But this regiment commander stayed in the regiment for two months, studied hard, and from time to time he would go to Political Commissar Cui for advice, and he went to him quite a few times.

Including this trip to the border, it lasted more than fifty days, and the regiment never complained about the hardship or tiredness once during the long journey. He had already accepted it.

Now, he treats the new leader as his own brother from the bottom of his heart, and he respects him more.

"I'm fine." Chen Jun saw Wang Jianxing's worry, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Old Wang, go call the people from Class 9 over. I'll ask about the specific situation."

"Row."

Not long after, the deputy squad leader of the ninth squad came over with his soldiers, and the people from the third platoon followed.

Knowing that the regiment commander wanted to know the situation, the deputy squad leader quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the regiment commander, our platoon has received an order to go to the villagers to assist in the transfer."

"Before setting off, I decided to change into high-waist rubber shoes. The snow was so heavy that if I wore suede shoes, I would probably get soaked before I got to the destination."

"At the beginning of the transfer, Squad Leader Lin led the way and urged us to speed up and transfer all the villagers here. After we checked and made sure there was no one there."

"I was planning to clear the snow off the roof as ordered, but the wind was getting stronger and stronger, so the squad leader ordered us to retreat. His rubber shoes didn't seem to fit him well, so he walked fast and slow at times."

"I kept falling behind the team. I was also worried that the squad leader would fall behind, so I turned around to ask him about it. But our squad leader was quite stubborn and just said that the soles of his shoes were not a big deal and that he could overcome it by himself, so he asked us to speed up."

"Squad Leader Lin is a veteran here and is very familiar with the terrain, so I led the team back without thinking too much."

Although the deputy monitor didn't say the rest, Chen Jun could guess the details.

The night was getting darker and darker, like a typhoon sweeping through the snowstorm. Everyone covered their heads tightly, eager to go home. They never expected that the squad leader would be out of touch with the team.

Looking at the anxious faces of the people in Class 9.

Chen Jun waved his hand: "Okay, your squad leader should be fine. If he hasn't returned after daybreak, immediately organize a search."

"Go and rest first."

Chen Jun ignored everyone else and just looked outside the air-raid shelter with worry. He had already checked the terrain on Ramujia's side.

There are mountains, slopes, swamps covered with water plants, and Gobi deserts covered with sand and rocks nearby. There are undulating gullies and ridges, and there is only one mule and horse path.

The temperature could drop to minus thirty degrees Celsius at night. Alone in the wilderness without even fur boots, Chen Jun was worried about how he could survive out there.

If you find yourself falling behind, it would be fine to return to your fellow villagers' home in time. However, if the wind and snow are too strong, even the most familiar terrain will make you lose your sense of direction due to the bad weather.

If you accidentally step out of the border, anything could happen.

Chen Jun tried to step out of the air-raid shelter several times, but finally stopped. He was not afraid of the severe cold, nor was he afraid of the snowstorm.

He was afraid that if he acted rashly, other comrades would not sit idly by and cause greater damage.

As a commander, he not only needs to remain calm when facing the enemy, but he also needs to consider the overall situation at this time.

Chen Jun had a very torturous night, which was the most difficult night since his rebirth.
