While the two planes were replenishing fuel at an apron hidden in a valley, Shi Quan, Da Yiwan and others were nestled in the cabin of the Ka-32, studying a contour map.

"It's basically certain that the transport plane should have flown northwest along the river." Big Ivan said with certainty.

While he was speaking, Shi Quan also used a marker to draw a winding curve from Guanglangpu Town, where an air battle had taken place, all the way north along the Enmei Kai River.

"Fly along the river, on the north side of the mountain, continue along the valley to the west, and you can fly all the way to Naumeng." Shi Quan said here, turning his pen at a right angle on the topographic map, and following another valley

It extends all the way to the southwest to Putao. "From here to Putao, it is only about 50 kilometers away."

"What's the reason? What's your reason?" Lu Dongbin, who was familiar with the situation, asked in confusion.

"It's very simple. First of all, flying like this can not only get away from the battlefield as quickly as possible, but in comparison, the pilots on the hump route are more familiar with the terrain here than the Japanese." Big Ivan was the first to give the first answer.

"The second reason is because of the mountain."

Shi Quan pointed through the porthole to the snow cover on the top of the mountain at the end of his sight, "We all know that there was a heavy fog because of the rain that had just happened that day, but on the back of the mountain, the cold air was enough to condense the fog, so even though

It will bring some danger to flying, but it is much safer than the air battles and heavy fog that occur on the south side of the mountain."

"And this also explains why there is suddenly no signal." He Tianlei joined the topic, "The mountains on both sides of this route are enough to block the signal."

"But, we have already searched around here."

Lu Dongbin pointed to the route that Shi Quan had just drawn, "Our current location is on this route. From here to Naumeng, we have already searched a few years ago. Although we did find two transport planes, they passed us

After verification, they were not what we were looking for, but the ones that crashed here in 1942, and even the aircraft models were different."

Shi Quan did not look disappointed because of this bad news. Instead, he asked happily, "So, this route is feasible and someone has flown it?"

"Someone did fly by"

Lu Dongbin first confirmed Shi Quan's question, and then said, "But this route is far from as simple as you think. Turbulence and strong winds, as well as icing that was like a nightmare for aircraft at that time, made this route

The losses were huge. So soon after the Hump route started, the route was abandoned."

"Since someone has flown over, it proves that the transport plane may have flown in this direction." Shi Quan said almost arbitrarily, and the source of his confidence was precisely because of the arrows provided by the map view.

Lu Dongbin simply gave up thinking after hearing this, "So where should we look for it next?"

"Let's fly along this route first to see what's going on along the way." Big Ivan put forward his idea before Shi Quan could say anything. "By the way, go back to Grape Base Camp."

"sure"

Lu Dongbin jumped out of the cabin, "But this road is not very peaceful, so to be on the safe side, we'd better fly lower and slower. This way, even if we fall accidentally, we might still have a chance to survive."

"It's better for you to worry about yourself," Big Ivan said confidently.

While everyone was waiting, the two helicopters replenished their fuel and took off again, following the route marked on the contour map to find the valley.

As the two helicopters approached Naumeng in the valley, the turbulence felt by everyone in the cabin became more and more severe. This is because the Ka 32 uses coaxial counter-rotating propellers to achieve excellent wind resistance.

, if it were a fixed-wing transport aircraft, it would probably have been bumpy and biting its tongue.

As the two helicopters lowered their altitude again and again, Naumeng, which is much larger than Putao County, could see more and more clearly. Although it is located in a valley near the border between the two countries, the scenery and environment are better than

The grapes are more beautiful.

A clear river meanders along the southern edge of Naumeng. From time to time, you can see some men and women busy on the river bank with fish baskets or clothes.

Without staying here too long, two helicopters flew by at low altitude, turned a 90-degree turn, and flew along another valley in the direction of Grape.

Returning to the base camp on the edge of the temple, Shi Quan and others immediately got into the medical vehicle that had been deployed after getting off the helicopter. Lu Dongbin was unceremoniously greeted by several Nenets men led by Xianyu.

They stopped him outside and carefully searched him for a Glock pistol, a satellite phone and a mobile phone before letting him go.

"What is your guess?" Elena asked while Ivan was playing with the projector.

"I'm lost," Shi Quan said simply.

“Exactly what I thought”

Big Iwan took over the conversation and said while the projector was turned on, "There is a high possibility that the plane flew along the Enmeikai River towards Naumeng, but it was either because of the enemy plane behind it or because of the

It was because of the thick fog that they lost their way."

At this point, the projector just happened to put the map on the wall. Ivan the Great picked up the laser pointer and drew a winding line along the course of the Enmeikai River. "We assume that this route is the route of that aircraft."

The transport plane led the nuclear-armed fighter jets to the air defense position and then fled the battlefield. They were probably preparing to bypass this 3,400-meter-high mountain from the north.

Under this premise, if they want to reach Naumeng, they must cross a 40-kilometer-long valley westward at Gonglu, which is the most bumpy section when we go to Naumeng."

"You mean, they got lost here?" Nasha asked while distributing coffee or hot tea to people in the conference room.

Big Ivan picked up a cup of coffee from Nasha's tray, "Between Gonglu and Naumeng, there is an east-west valley. I think they probably got lost there. After all, fixed wings are not like helicopters.

They neither have satellite navigation nor can they stop temporarily to tell the direction. As long as the pilot is negligent, they will fly in the completely opposite direction to the grapes."

"Maybe it could be a little earlier."

Shi Quan picked up the laser pointer that Big Ivan had thrown on the table, and also drew a circle at the location of Gonglu, but immediately after that, he continued to extend the route north along the river course of the Enmeikai River, "Compared to

At the fork in the road that Ivan just mentioned, whether they can see Gonglu in the fog is a question. When our helicopter flew over just now, except for some terraced fields, there were no landmarks there at all."

"So what you mean is that they continued flying north along the Enmeikai River?" Elena asked, and at the same time, her eyes, like others, followed the route drawn by Shiquan.

Going all the way north, we finally stopped at almost the same latitude as Naumeng, a location marked as Yenan.

"To the east of Yenan are the snow-capped mountains. No matter how slow the pilots react, they will definitely know that they are in the wrong direction when they fly here." Shi Quan put down the laser pointer and asked in a persuasive way, "Then what will they do?"

"Return?" Lu Dongbin asked stupidly.

“Fly directly to Naumong”

Big Ivan first said the correct answer, and then joked, "Tom Cat, compared with your ancestors, you are really too timid."

"Please call me Tom, Lu Dongbin or Prince Butterfly," the idiot corrected with an unhappy look on his face.

"No matter what I call you"

Shi Quan knocked on the table, "Even if they are not as bold as we imagined, they can only choose to fly directly to Naumeng."

"Why?" Lu Dongbin's inquiring spirit has far more potential than his courage.

"Fuel" Elena looked at the other party with disgust, "Did you not use your brain when you were looking for that transport plane?"

“They are not diggers,” Nasha’s seemingly comforting words directly classified all their family’s decades of hard work into the “amateur” category.

However, Lu Dongbin suddenly said, "We asked the diggers to come over and help us find it."

"Where did you invite them from? What did you find?" Big Ivan became interested. He wanted to see what his colleagues had gained.

"Ukraine, of course Ukraine."

Lu Dongbin spread his hands and said, "They found nothing except the belly of several local girls. They also broke a helicopter for me."

"Ha! Ukrainians," Big Ivan sighed, and then he and Nasha cursed "trash" in unison.

"Don't show off your superiority there."

Shi Quan had to knock on the table again to bring the topic back, "Let's talk about how to find it."

Lu Dongbin was the first to say, "We happen to have two helicopters that can search the two routes you just guessed from the air at the same time."

"Tom, how about you help go to the dining car to serve some cakes?" Big Ivan grinned with a deliberately ferocious and scary smile.

"Did I say something wrong?" Lu Dongbin looked up at Da Ivan, who was a head taller than him, and asked cautiously.

"It's wrong for you to speak. Just listen." He Tianlei dragged Lu Dongbin to his side and then tore the cigarette case out of his hand. "This is a medical vehicle. Smoking is prohibited."

Without this troublemaker, Shi Quan, Big Ivan, Elena and Nasha each studied the satellite map. Big Ivan was the first to speak and specifically said in Russian, "There are dense forests on both sides of the river, and the helicopter can't reach it at all."

Use this forest, not to mention a transport plane, even an American aircraft carrier can be hidden."

"So I can only go into the mountains to look for it."

Shi Quan chewed his teeth and had a headache. This place is the remnant of the Himalayas. Even if there is not much snow due to the abundant Yangtze light, those mountains covered with dense virgin forests are not that easy to enter.

"How about we go to Naumon first?"

Elena compared the navigation path on the tablet and used a laser pointer to draw a curve on the map. "There is a road from Putao to Naumeng. We will put the camp in Naumeng and then search this area due east.

The north is the ninety-degree fan of the boundary. In this way, both Yuri's guess and Ivan the Great's guess are included."

"What can we search in such a large area?"

Dayi Wan was just halfway through speaking when Shi Quan and others turned their attention to Lu Dongbin, who was still looking confused.
