In the jungle filled with thick fog, Lu Yao, after getting permission from the squad leader, ran to the front of the team with his Zhujiang camera. He first took a picture of Wei Ran who took off his mask, and then took a picture of Wei Ran.

The squad leader and everyone passing by took a single photo.

When he returned to his place in the team, everyone quickened their pace again.

At this time, Wei Ran, the leader, was extra cautious. If Cha Xifeng's memory in later generations was correct, they might soon have a firefight with the enemy.

After walking nervously for almost an hour, they gradually heard the sound of flowing water and then saw a winding mountain stream.

After walking along the stream for less than ten minutes, the sound of rushing water in the thick fog became clearer and clearer. Soon, they saw a pool that was only half the size of a basketball court at most, and the cliff next to the pool.

Small waterfall splashing down.

At this moment, Squad Leader Dao also made a gesture to stop advancing. Seeing this, everyone immediately stopped and lowered their bodies.

When Wei Ran and Squad Leader Cha gathered around, Squad Leader Dao raised his finger and pointed at the bushes in front of him.

With just one glance, Wei Ran noticed a hairline covered with dewdrops. He followed this line to both sides. When the knife squad leader carefully took away a palm-sized fallen leaf, he could still see a fallen leaf inserted into it.

Soviet POMZ-2 anti-personnel mine at the base of a bush.

"It is more difficult for people to produce landmines themselves"

The squad leader just glanced at the vaguely exposed cast-iron prefabricated fragment bushing of the mine and made a judgment, "Let's change direction. There is no need to waste time in the minefield. Guard, go right."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ran immediately turned around and cautiously stepped forward, looking for the edge of the minefield.

Soon, with the assistance of Squad Leader Dao and Hai Dongqing, Wei Ran determined the direction of advancement and led everyone in a circuitous path along the edge of the minefield.

This time we only walked a distance of three to four hundred meters horizontally, but a river six to seven meters wide appeared directly in front of us.

Both sides of the river are covered with moss-covered rocks, with a waist-thick dead tree draped across them.

But on the dead wood, in addition to a variety of explosives that are not powerful but enough to cause injury, there is also a POMZ-2 anti-infantry mine that is increasingly difficult to produce by oneself, as well as a spider web-like trip wire, and a

Various counterweights hanging from hairline.

Obviously, this is a physics problem. If you cut off any wire rashly, those counterweights may cause this dangerous trap to immediately break its balance.

Not only that, this dangerous simple wooden bridge is also located at the narrowest point of the river, or rather, at a key location on the only way.

Going upstream, the shore is full of mines. Going downstream, the river is much wider.

Also because the river here is narrow enough, the water is also turbid due to the excessive flow rate.

Obviously, the water source for this river is not just the small waterfall you just glanced at at the edge of the minefield.

What makes Wei Ran even more undecided is that no one knows whether there are landmines in the area downstream of the river where the water flow is not so fast.

But he also knew that if it were him who was responsible for laying mines, he would definitely not mind throwing something into the river.

"Shall we go there?"

Wei Ran asked in a low voice. He was no longer a rookie, and he could naturally see that the purpose of the minefield just now was to force people who came here to turn here.

Because of this, before crossing this potentially dangerous river, none of them knew whether the other side of the river was also a minefield.

"past"

The squad leader Dao made a decision decisively, "After making such a big circle, it's time to go back. Guard the Ran, Dazhai, and guard the front and rear."

"yes"

Wei Ran and Li Dazhai agreed to the task in a low voice. He found a thick tree by the river valley to hide behind, and raised his submachine gun to guard against the situation on the other side of the river valley. Li Dazhai also hid.

, and be alert to the situation behind you.

"Lu Yao, Xiao Xifeng, keep an eye on our prisoners."

Squad Leader Dao gave an extra reminder, then called Squad Leader Cha and Hai Dongqing to gather around, opened the map and whispered, "We are here now. After crossing this valley, there is another valley. Along that

The valley goes all the way to the northwest, which is where we separated from Commander Luo."

While the three of them were discussing the route around the map, Lu Yao and Xiao Xifeng were also controlling the particularly honest captive Ivan.

Similarly, Ivan, who was being controlled, was also observing the surrounding environment and the endlessly flowing river not far away.

"Be honest," Xiao Xifeng warned in a low voice when she saw Ivan's eyes rolling around.

"Don't think wrongly"

Lu Yao came to his senses and reminded in Russian, "We treat prisoners preferentially. If you don't cooperate well, we can change the prisoner."

Hearing this, the gagged Ivan whined in response, and then bowed his head honestly.

However, at this time, he had already determined that the young soldier beside him who could speak Russian was a rookie with little experience.

"I don't know how Platoon Commander Luo and the others are doing now," Hai Dongqing couldn't help but whisper.

"I'm afraid it's still helping us attract firepower."

Squad Leader Cha said worriedly, "Otherwise, even with the few additional rounds fired last night, it would be impossible for us not to have encountered the pursuers by now."

"Now is not the time to discuss this"

Squad Leader Dao put away the map and said, "I'll go there first, make sure it's safe to cross the river quickly, and then find a way to join Platoon Leader Luo and the others!"

"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded to the command of the knife squad leader.

After searching around for a while, the knife squad leader used the hatchet that he had seized from the little prisoner Nahan who had been released to chop down a few shin-thick bamboos.

Splitting these bamboos in half and gently placing them on the rocks on the other side, Captain Dao took off his backpack, leaned on the bamboos and climbed over carefully, carefully checking his footing.

After confirming that it was safe, he waved behind him.

After receiving the signal, Li Dazhai crawled over second, then raised his gun and established a defensive position. Following closely behind, Hai Dongqing also walked onto the bamboo bridge.

With the first two people scouting the road and keeping watch, he no longer had to crawl forward. He only had to carry the Knife Squad Leader's backpack and walk across the bamboo bridge.

"I'll push that old guy over first," Squad Leader Cha said to Wei Ran, "You go back and place a few mines."

"good"

Wei Ran responded, and then checked Ivan's handcuffs with extra caution to make sure they were not loose. Then he walked to the end of the team with a gun and buried two anti-reflective missiles near the series of footprints they left.

Infantry mines.

At the same time, Squad Leader Cha also pushed Ivan onto the bamboo bridge. However, just when he saw the two of them walking directly above the river, there was a fierce exchange of fire in the thick fog in the distance.

!

The sound of gunfire inevitably attracted everyone's attention, but Ivan, the otherwise obedient prisoner, took advantage of this opportunity to attack, slamming into Captain Cha behind him, and then jumped into the surging river!

"Lie down!"

Squad Leader Cha, who was about to fall, let out a cry of surprise. At the same time, Squad Leader Dao and Hai Dongqing each fired a burst of fire at Ivan who jumped into the river.

However, before the bullet shell hit the ground, Squad Leader Cha had already hit the trip wire that looked like a spider web!

"careful!"

Xiao Xifeng let out an exclamation, and without thinking, she flew towards Lu Yao and pinned him down.

At the same time, Wei Ran, whose heart had hit rock bottom, quickly fell down driven by muscle memory.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A series of explosions came directly above the river, and the shock wave generated by the explosion also pushed away the surrounding thick fog, making the view in the jungle better than ever before.

"Crash!"

The water in the river that was blown up fell with a thin splash, like a brief rainstorm filled with the smell of blood.

"Check the monitor!"

Hai Dongqing and Li Dazhai on the other side of the river exclaimed, watching helplessly as Squad Leader Cha's body dyed the turbid river water red, and then watching helplessly as his body drifted to the other side of the river in the blink of an eye with the pink water.

Downstream!

"Xiao Xifeng! He Yong! He Yong!" At this moment, Lu Yao's crying cry reached everyone's ears.

Shivering, Wei Ran was the first to react, got up and sprinted over.

However, at this time, Xiao Xifeng, who was being held in Lu Yao's arms, had blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, and a large amount of blood was dripping from his back.

"Hey Yong! He Yong!" Lu Yao cried out the other person's name and nickname, "Little Xifeng! Little Xifeng!"

"Let him...let him lie down."

Wei Ran said with difficulty, Xiao Xifeng was not carrying a backpack just now. At this time, his back and sides of his body were covered with wounds of various sizes. Those wounds were all caused by the fragments of the explosives just now.

, and the most serious wound among them, the thumb-sized scar just hit his spine, he...

"photo..."

Xiao Xifeng grabbed Lu Yao's sleeves tightly, "Give my mother...let...them...don't...don't miss me...don't regret...participate..."

"He Yong? He Yong?! Xiao Xifeng! Xiao Xifeng!"

Lu Yao, who was almost collapsed, hugged Xiao Xifeng, who had left forever, and shouted his name hoarsely.

"He's gone, he's gone too..."

Wei Ran muttered to himself reproachfully, he knew that he could not change anything. He clearly knew from the mouth of the later generation Zha Xifeng that a firefight was about to happen. He was obviously an experienced veteran, but he was still beaten by Ivan.
