Chapter 592 Rescue, Musi River Movement
The faint morning light had just appeared above the peak of the western mountain, and the strong wind and blizzard on the Ramujia side had weakened a little.

Chen Jun, who was standing at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, immediately gave orders and arranged for soldiers to go to the Mule and Horse Road trading area to carry out search and rescue.

The soldiers of the third platoon and ninth squad were even more active.

They put on fur hats and coats to keep out the cold, and the team no longer lined up in a column, but spread out in horizontal lines with intervals of about 30 meters around the original route.

Conduct a broad, cross-sectional, carpet-style search.

The herdsmen who had been hiding in the air-raid shelter for the night also hurriedly joined the team to assist in the search.

The company commander and the instructor stayed behind to arrange the defense work during the day to avoid any problems on the border. The blizzard was so severe at night that no one would take the risk.

But it’s hard to say during the day.

Chen Jun also went out with the soldiers. Everyone stared at every mountain and rock they passed by, and when they encountered irregular piles of snow, they would dig them up to take a look.

The sky was getting brighter and the snow was getting lighter.

We patrolled the area around the mule and horse road, including the road that Team Nine walked yesterday, but still did not see any human figures.

The soldiers and herdsmen gathered around, numbering in the hundreds, all frowned and looked around anxiously.

How much everyone hopes that the familiar figure of the veteran can appear before their eyes.

Many people even began to pray in their hearts, praying that the trees would be blessed by the Buddha and stay safe.

Chen Jun didn't believe it, but he also respected the cultural customs of different places. He ignored the soldiers around him and went straight to find the deputy squad leader of Class 9.

Ask him to point out the place where he last met Squad Leader Lin.

Chen Jun is not a god, but he understands that after a night, what was supposed to happen must have happened.

Praying is useless now. We must determine the scope as soon as possible, even if we have to grope our way around, at least to finalize the approximate scope.

With the assistance of the deputy squad leader, Chen Jun and his group gathered on the mule and horse road and found out the location where they last met Lin Mu last night.

Chen Jun closed his eyes and imagined the direction of the strong wind at that time. He imagined that in that environment, people would not be able to see the road clearly and would be blinded by the wind and snow. Which direction would they most likely go?

These things have no scientific basis or even any empirical support, they are just a last-ditch effort to grasp at straws.

Otherwise, in such a large area, let alone a border defense company and hundreds of herdsmen, even if you send an army, you won’t be able to deploy it.

Chen Jun expressed his thoughts and analyzed the situation at that time with the cadres of the border defense company and Chief of Staff Wang.

Finally, the southwest direction was finalized.

Three platoons responsible for search and rescue, together with densely packed herdsmen, searched on two wings, extending the distance further.

Half an hour, an hour.
Due to the heavy snow at night, the snow in many places was thicker than a person, making search and rescue very difficult.

Chen Jun's cheeks were numb from the cold wind, and his eyes were red from staying up late, but he didn't care about his condition at all.

Relying on the only remaining hope in his heart, he always led his people to the front, and no one could persuade him.

Chen Jun has seen too many cases of comrades sacrificing their lives, but precisely because he has seen it too many times, he can never truly accept it.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.

The search team searched outside for six hours, and just when many herdsmen could not bear it anymore.

Out of the corner of Chen Jun's eye he suddenly saw several black eagles circling in the air a hundred meters away, chirping softly as they circled.

"Gun, give me the gun."

Chen Jun's cracked lips trembled as he spoke. Li Wujie, who was closest to him, took out his 191-type automatic rifle without hesitation and handed it to him.

Chen Jun took it casually, turned off the safety, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and without even aiming, he raised the gun and fired.

"boom!!"

There was a crisp sound.

Click click click.
The surrounding soldiers were so frightened that they all held their guns in their hands, put their fingers on the triggers, and looked around vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, put your guns down, it was the commander who fired the gun, it's okay, put your guns down!!"

After Wang Jianxing saw what was going on, he hurriedly shouted to comfort them, saying that the soldiers here were border guards after all, and they were all soldiers who had crawled out of the war.

The alertness one gets when hearing gunshots is no joke. If there's any movement around, the tense soldiers might just open fire.

Chen Jun didn't care about that. After shooting a black eagle dead, he threw the gun to Li Wujie and pointed in the direction where the black eagle was circling: "Let's go there!"

After receiving the order, the dark crowd followed in unison.

The reason why Chen Jun was sure that something was going on over there was because he understood the habits of the black hawk, which was an animal that flew around in a relatively fixed place for a long time.

There is basically no other possibility. There must be a vulnerable animal on the ground that could become a delicious meal.

Chen Jun couldn't be sure whether the person they were looking for was there, but he had to at least go and take a look.

The reason for firing the gun was, firstly, to scare away the black hawks and prevent them from harming vulnerable animals on the ground, and secondly, to mark the target.

After all, with such a large group of people rushing over, the black hawks would still run away. But if they ran away, without the eagle's corpse as a mark, it would be difficult to lock their position in a short time with manpower in the vast snow.

The veteran soldiers on the border all understood the commander's intention, and hundreds of them took a shortcut and rushed to the place where the Black Hawk had just hovered.

When they were still about ten meters away, everyone found a person lying in the pile of rocks.

Looking closely, it was the missing forest.

"Captain, we've found the person. It's Squad Leader Lin." An old soldier who was in good physical condition and was at the front reported with a happy face.

Chen Jun nodded, jumped directly into the snow pit from a slightly higher ground, and waded towards the pile of rocks with difficulty.

Lin Mu's luck was pretty good. Although he was where there were piles of rocks, the wind resistance was not that great and the snow around him was not that exaggerated.

The whole person was lying horizontally in a snow pit surrounded by rocks, his hands tightly holding an automatic rifle, his face was gray and his eyes were closed.

"Linmu, Linmu."

Chen Jun walked up to him and called softly in the other person's ear. The soldier who followed behind him also stared at him with a look of surprise and expectation.

Unfortunately, despite repeated calls, Lin Mu did not respond.

Apparently he had fainted and was unconscious.

After Chen Jun called out to no avail, he did not waste any more time. He bit his gloves with his teeth and pulled them off. He reached his hands into Lin Mu's clothes through his collar and felt a hint of heat from the other person.

I felt his pulse again and it was still beating. Theoretically, there was still a chance of saving him.

Chen Jun immediately took off his coat and threw it to Li Wujie: "Come, use the coat as a stretcher and carry the person back."

"Other soldiers, run back as quickly as possible and notify the company medical staff to prepare for rescue."

"Time is life, don't waste it."

"Captain, I'm coming."

"And I."

Hearing the arrangement, the soldiers of Class 9 pushed Li Wujie aside, and even took Chen Jun's coat. An old soldier took off his coat, and the four of them grabbed his clothes.

Carefully carrying the wood, they walked towards the border defense company’s base.

Chen Jun stood there staring at the unconscious Lin Mu. It was not until he was carried onto a simple stretcher that he realized that Lin Mu was not wearing rubber boots.

Instead, he was wearing a pair of leather gloves.

Think about it, I was lost in a snowstorm alone, wearing only a pair of rubber shoes, which could not withstand the severe cold. My body was overdrawn, and I was cold, tired, and hungry.

It was a long night, and it was hard to imagine the pain this veteran went through.

Seeing this, Chen Jun felt heartbroken.

But at this moment, time is life. The soldiers of Class 9 took turns carrying the load, taking shortcuts and running desperately.

Just to be able to get to the company clinic faster and faster.

Chen Jun also quickened his pace and followed behind.

But when they arrived at the company headquarters, before the person was carried to the infirmary, the company commander Gao Kui had already gathered all the soldiers in the company, and all of them were fully armed.

His expression was grim, and he had an ammunition bag across his shoulder.

When the soldiers in line saw Lin Mu being carried back, many of them showed a relieved smile on their faces, but soon they stared straight ahead with burning eyes without saying a word.

Chen Jun's intuition told him that something must have happened in the company.

He walked quickly to Gao Kui's side and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

Gao Kui was watching the forest. When he heard the noise, he quickly turned around and stood at attention, saluted and said, "Report to the commander. A large number of returning militants have been spotted at the border."

"The enemy is tentatively moving towards us. According to observations from the sentry tower, the returning elements have gathered nearly a thousand people this time."

"so many people?"

Chen Jun's eyelids jumped. He had only heard that there was such a group of Hui people who were extremely vicious, but he seldom asked about their number.

The most people recorded in the regiment's log was only about four or five hundred. This number of nearly one thousand people was almost equivalent to the combat effectiveness of half an infantry regiment.

"Yes."

Gao Kui nodded with an equally grim expression: "This group of Huiren elements are becoming more and more rampant. This year, they beat the opposing garrison to the point of disappearing without a trace. I guess they ran away again."

"Without the troops stationed on the other side, this side of Ramujia will become a paradise for returning elements. We discovered traces of unusual movements by the other side this morning."

"But there aren't many of them. The inexplicable gunshot just now completely alarmed these guys. Right now, they don't have any clear intentions to attack."

"But we won't wait and see for too long. These guys can't stand it for too long."

Just watching, no intention of attacking yet.

After hearing the news, Chen Jun had a general understanding of this group of Hui people.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they are just a group of rabble.

The other party simply discovered this place, sent out a group of people to search and rescue early in the morning, and then hesitated after hearing the gunshots.

Not all militants are as tenacious as the field army. Chen Jun is quite familiar with similar mobs.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jun asked, "Captain Gao, how do you plan to respond?"

"Beat him, beat him hard."

Gao Kui gritted his teeth and said: "These beasts would not easily expose themselves before, nor would they confront us head-on."

"Most of them appeared as border residents, in groups of three or five, with a squad at most, disguised as border residents, sneaking around."

"They have intercepted our supplies, bombed our logistics vehicles, and attacked us from behind. This time, it seems they have become powerful and have gathered so many people. If we don't hurt them, we will have no peace in the future."

"It's not that easy."

Wang Jianxing stood aside and shook his head slightly: "Although these people are disgusting, they are also very cunning. When they see something is wrong, they run away faster than anyone else."

"If they really dared to fight us head-on, let alone the small number of people who fled back, even if there were ten times more, we would have been wiped out long ago. The problem is that although these people can harass us, they know how to avoid the border defense company."

Neither the company commander nor the chief of staff looked very nervous. After all, it was not the first time they had dealt with these guys.

Even though the other side sounds like they have a lot of people, once you've knocked down dozens of them, there's no need to fight, because the ones behind them will run faster than rabbits on the snowy mountains.

Can't catch up.

This type of enemy is the most troublesome. Their fighting ability may not be very good, but when they harass you, they will definitely make you very angry.

"I'll go to the outpost first to check the situation."

Chen Jun thought for a moment and then said, "Whether the enemy will enter the country or not, we must be prepared for battle."

"Lao Gao, go check on Lin Mu's situation. If allowed, move him to the air-raid shelter as soon as possible to avoid any problems."

Chen Jun left after saying this.

How could Gao Kui let the captain go to the watchtower? It is closest to the border and would be the front line if a battle broke out.

But before he could open his mouth, Wang Jianxing raised his hand to stop him and shook his head slightly: "Forget it, you can't stop our new leader."

"I will take the soldiers with me. You should quickly inform the villagers. Do not leave the air-raid shelter without our notification. Be prepared for a fierce battle."

"I always feel that something is wrong this time. Gathering so many people may not only be for harassment, but may also be to discredit the 70th anniversary celebration."

“Be prepared to respond as soon as possible.”

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Gao Kui nodded, turned around and mobilized a platoon of soldiers, followed by a dozen people from the regiment headquarters, and walked towards the watchtower together.

If there is any unusual movement on the opposite side, there will naturally be no one standing in the high watchtower, and the soldiers in the company will set up hidden observation posts.

Chen Jun and his companions had just walked halfway when they were taken by a veteran from the Ramujia Border Defense Company to a hidden outpost for inspection.

Because of the snowstorm last night, the hiding work was easy to do. We just found a place next to a big rock and the snow pile would be taller than a person.

At this time, many snow piles had large holes dug out, and a group of veterans huddled in the holes like groundhogs, observing with binoculars.

In war, especially on the border, there are not so many high-end equipment. When Chen Jun came here, he had no special privileges as the regiment commander, so he could only hide in the snow cave like the old soldiers.

Using a telescope through a thumb-sized hole, I observed the shadowy crowd in the distance across the Mus River in Nepal.

Looking through the telescope, there were indeed nearly a thousand people gathered on the other side of the river, stretching out horizontally for a full two hundred meters along the river bank, and it was a sea of ​​people.

The clothes worn by the other side were not uniform. Some were gray coats, while others were military coats of the same color as ours. The leader was like a club, riding on horseback, approaching the Mus River Bridge in Nepal.

In fact, it is a bit unfair to call this group of people a mob. With their style, they have not entered the country.

Otherwise, Chen Jun could just take the rifle and shoot him.

But there's nothing to say about this.

In the past, when Chen Jun was in Longya and was out on a mission abroad, he had seen militants who were even more abstract than this. They were exactly like Bangchui.

"How long have they been assembled here?"

Chen Jun turned his head and looked at the old soldier in the snow cave nearby.

"It's been about two hours. They know how strong our border defense is, so they usually don't have the courage to charge."

The veteran who was questioned had a somewhat disdainful tone in his voice.

Chen Jun shook his head without saying anything. He picked up the telescope and began to stare at the crowd carefully.

He could naturally guess the problems that Chief of Staff Wang could guess, since this group of rabble had never dared to fight head-on before.

Then this sudden concentration would not be without reason.

It can't be that they have to mobilize so many troops just to steal a few sheep, right?
