Li Xiaoning hesitated to say what to say, but finally nodded and continued to ask: "Who else is suitable to enter the mountain?"
"Me! Me! Me!"
Registrations for commandos came one after another, and soon nineteen "Suicide Squad" members were born. It wasn't that there were less than twenty people who signed up, but Li Xiaoning suddenly announced that he would personally lead one of the teams into the mountain.
Li Xiaoning's decision caught everyone by surprise. Everyone who could speak out immediately expressed their opposition. Hou Xiucai was so anxious that he directly moved out Mr. Zhang Yunpeng, "Mr. Zhang said that you are a commander, not a combatant.
You are AWOL."
"Everyone in the anti-terrorist special detachment is a combatant." Li Xiaoning counterattacked without hesitation, "I can't watch my brothers fight for their lives while I hide in the back and feel comfortable. Besides, which of you has a higher fighting quality than me?
"
Hou Xiucai, Luo Zhenqiang and others wanted to speak, but were blocked by Li Xiaoning, "I'm not discussing with you, this is an order, execute the order."
"I want to report it to my superiors and file a complaint against you." Luo Zhenqiang said angrily.
"You can complain if you want, but I will revoke your commando qualification first." Li Xiaoning said without changing his expression.
At this time, Luo Zhenqiang immediately stopped. Like Li Xiaoning, he would not abandon his brother.
Hou Xiucai has been with Li Xiaoning for so many years and knows Li Xiaoning's temper. Now that Li Xiaoning has made a decision, what he needs to think about at this time is how to ensure Li Xiaoning's safety, rather than trying to persuade him to change his mind, because that is impossible.
The director of the Xijiang Bureau of National Security also came over and said, "You can't go."
Li Xiaoning said sincerely: "I know your good intentions, but I have to go."
The director of the Xijiang Bureau said anxiously: "You are fooling around. I will immediately ask my superiors to punish you."
Li Xiaoning made up his mind and said resolutely: "If you are punished, I will go too!"
As a result, a "death squad" of twenty people was formed. Li Xiaoning personally served as the captain of the first team, and Luo Zhenqiang served as the captain of the second team.
There was still an hour before the departure time. The selected members of the "Suicide Squad" first put on bulletproof vests, and then began to wear anti-infrared combat uniforms and combat helmets. The helmets were made of composite materials and had various interfaces and individual cameras on them.
Right on the helmet, each team leader can see images of his teammates on the monitor.
Li Xiaoning didn't say anything more. He gave a standard military salute to those who were seeing him off, and then turned around and led the team members to set off.
The distance from the temporary headquarters to the terrorist base is one hundred kilometers. If you walk, it will take five days and five nights. If you take a helicopter, it will only take less than an hour. The helicopter first takes the "death squad" members to the distance from the terrorist base.
Fifty kilometers away, and then return. Li Xiaoning and Luo Zhenqiang made an appointment with the aircraft pilot to return to the landing place after completing their mission, and take a flight back to the temporary headquarters together.
Because the goal of walking together is huge, Li Xiaoning and Luo Zhenqiang decided to lead ten team members each to approach the destination from two directions. They made an appointment to rush to a strange rock ten kilometers away from the terrorist base at five o'clock tomorrow morning to meet
.This strange rock has very obvious features in aerial photos.
The place where Li Xiaoning and the others were located was already above the snow line. In normal times, it would only take more than ten hours to reach the forty kilometers of mountain road, but it was different now. Measuring one footprint at a time, it would still take twenty hours.
hours.
Almost no people were seen along the way, and the herdsmen had long gone back to the villages at the foot of the mountain to spend the winter. In addition to the mountains full of strange rocks, there were also glaciers that were difficult to climb. Coupled with the lack of oxygen in the mountains, the team members were out of breath while walking. Li Xiaoning took the initiative to walk
Be at the front, leading everyone along.
At 4:30 in the morning, Li Xiaoning's team arrived at the meeting point half an hour early. There was still no movement from Luo Zhenqiang's team. There was no sound other than static on the radio. Li Xiaoning gave the team members the order to stay put.
Night has fallen, and the temperature in the Kunlun Mountains is estimated to be minus 40 degrees. Each team member has his body tightly wrapped in a sheepskin coat. Their eyes are vigilantly observing the movements around them.
Suddenly, the sentry standing guard on the top of the mountain sent a signal, and a rapid beeping sound came from Li Xiaoning's earphones. Li Xiaoning gave everyone a gesture: "There is something wrong!" He quickly turned over and hid behind a huge rock.
The sentry briefly reported: "Infrared signal detected three kilometers ahead."
Li Xiaoning quickly climbed up to the sentry and followed his direction. Through the infrared telescope, he could see several figures disappearing and appearing. There seemed to be two animals.
Li Xiaoning sent a brief signal to the team members: "Get ready to fight!" Everything was done in silence. In order to prevent eavesdropping, the team members used sign language.
Everyone hid themselves first, turned on the safety, and waited for the other party to move over. But strangely, the people and animals in the telescope suddenly disappeared.
Li Xiaoning suddenly had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. He waved his hand alertly, signaling the team members to spread their guard. At the same time, he led two team members and ran towards the place where the figures disappeared.
Sure enough, where the few figures appeared just now, there were traces of struggle and blood stains, surrounded by messy footsteps, which extended towards the road they came from.
Li Xiaoning immediately signaled the two team members to continue the pursuit. After they followed the footprints for about two kilometers, they finally saw two men with guns escorting two local herdsmen toward the base not far from them.
At this time, the opponent also discovered Li Xiaoning and the others. Suddenly, the assault rifle in the opponent's hand rang, and the bullet hit the rock not far from Li Xiaoning and the others.
Worried about hurting the two herdsmen, Li Xiaoning did not resort to strafing, but just kept approaching them. It was obvious that the other party was also someone with combat experience. They fired many bursts and did not shoot continuously.
It turned out that one of the two men with guns was Kader. After Kader broke up with Kara, he first ran to Bostan. He wanted to go back to the Kunlun Mountain base directly, but he found that the road back seemed to have checkpoints.
Then, he remembered that he had a younger brother who was idle at home, and he thought, why not drag him with him into the Kunlun Mountains? So Kader found his younger brother's house and hid in his house for two days.
Later, on their way to the Kunlun Mountain base, they found two father and son riding camels, loaded with food, looking for prey in the snow. Kader was overjoyed when he saw it, and he launched a surprise attack on the hunters and their son.
Then they forced the father and son to serve as their guides at gunpoint. Unexpectedly, they were approaching the base of Kunlun Mountain.
When they were on the ground, the father and son suddenly resisted. After a struggle, Kader shot the older hunter in the calf with a gun. What was even more unexpected was that they were ambushed by someone of unknown origin.
Of course, Kader did not expect that these unknown people were actually commandos of the anti-terrorist special detachment.
Li Xiaoning looked from behind the rock and found two men with guns and two Makina hiding in a rock crevice. He hinted that a team member was attracting the opponent behind the rock, and he and Aziguli quietly approached
Rock movement.
The two sides gradually got closer, but Li Xiaoning found that the other party was well guarded and well hidden, and the shooting angle of the other party was also very good, with basically no blind spots. After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiaoning decided to take the risk. He gradually approached the two areas.
When the man holding the gun was about fifty meters away, a large rock blocked the sight of both parties.
Li Xiaoning and Aziguli had already moved behind the stone. Li Xiaoning, who had experienced many fierce gun battles, understood that if he jumped out at this moment, the opponent could hit him within a second. However, there was no other choice. Li Xiaoning had to jump.
Go out and face each other to see whose gun is faster.
To be honest, Li Xiaoning is also a human being, and everyone is afraid, and Li Xiaoning is no exception. The palm of his hand holding the gun is sweaty. Although there is Aziguli's cover, the opponent is also covered, two to two.
Without thinking any more, Li Xiaoning jumped out from behind the rock. Kader's gun immediately pointed at Li Xiaoning. At the same time, Li Xiaoning also felt the other party's fear, because Li Xiaoning himself also felt fear.
Guns from both sides rang out, and the Type 03 rifle in Li Xiaoning's hand fired a burst. A small red flower immediately opened on Kadel's brother's chest, and Kadel's bullet hit a place not far in front of Li Xiaoning, splashing.
Hit with stones
It hurt Li Xiaoning's body, but Li Xiaoning couldn't care less about it. He quickly stepped forward, glanced around and fired another burst. A head appeared from behind the stone not far away, and the muzzle of a gun was also pointed at this person.
By the way, that's Kader.
Li Xiaoning didn't have time to hide, so he shot while running, and the bullet casings fell to the ground. He successfully suppressed the opponent and changed a magazine in time. At this time, Kader showed his head again, and this time he did not escape.
, a short shot, Li Xiaoning felt the blood mist splashing up.
Two terrified herders were accidentally rescued by Li Xiaoning.
At the end of this episode, there were only ten minutes left for Luo Zhenqiang's group to meet up. Suddenly, the sentry on the top of the mountain reported again: "Infrared signals were found two kilometers ahead."
Li Xiaoning climbed up to the sentry again, looked over with an infrared telescope, and found seven or eight shadowy figures. Because of the distance, it was impossible to tell whether the other party was Luo Zhenqiang and the others. Li Xiaoning gave the order again: "Get ready to fight!"
The team members held their breath and waited for each other to approach.
Gradually, the opponent got closer. When they were about one thousand meters away, the opponent suddenly dispersed and turned into a typical battle formation. The people in Li Xiaoning's team became a little nervous, and their fingers were on the trigger.
After observing for a few minutes, Li Xiaoning issued a signal to clear the alarm. Judging from the opponent's fighting posture, it turned out to be Luo Zhenqiang's group.
