The balloon of the hot air balloon is made of fireproof cloth, but the main features of this fireproof cloth are good air tightness and high temperature resistance, but it is not really immune to fire.
Because it's not useful.
The balloon of the hot air balloon is not next to the basket and the stove, but flies several meters above the stove, relying on the hot gas burned by the stove.
The temperature of the hot gas is much lower than that of an open flame and will not ignite the fireproof cloth.
But if you put the fireproof cloth on the fire and burn it, the fireproof cloth will not be able to hold it for a long time.
What's more, the package is stained with kerosene?
When the platoon leader put out the fire and went to check the packages, he discovered that all the hot air balloons were burned out.
Tang Fei's main task this time was to escort the hot air balloons to Zhuangzhuangou. He also knew very well what these hot air balloons meant to Zhuangzhuangou.
Jin Feng and tens of thousands of people were still waiting for help from the hot air balloon in Huaxinggou.
As a result, the hot air balloon is gone now...
Tang Fei now understood that the enemy was coming for the hot air balloon.
The two people who attacked were able to stay motionless in the snow for so long and were so powerful. Ninety-nine percent of them were soldiers trained by powerful families.
This is the territory of the King of Qin, and Sichuan and Shu are still fighting against the King of Qin, so these two dead soldiers are most likely sent by the King of Qin.
Nowadays, bodyguards are very experienced in dealing with dead soldiers. Whether it is crossbows, bows and arrows or muskets, they are the nemesis of dead soldiers.
However, the other party only sent two dead soldiers over. Obviously, they did not expect to kill so many escorts. Instead, they expected them to rest here and prepared a kerosene ambush in advance, with the purpose of burning down the hot air balloon!
If it had been the first few days, if such a situation had happened, the escort might have checked it carefully. However, after trekking in the snowy mountains for so many days, seeing that there were only a few days left to Zhuangzhuangou, not only the escort
After letting down his guard, even Tang Fei, the commander, felt a little tired.
This may also be the reason why the enemy's dead soldiers are ambushing here.
Moreover, the enemy obviously knows the escort very well and knows the practice of the escort first rescuing people before rescuing supplies!
After thinking about this, Tang Fei wanted to slap himself!
"Damn it, why didn't I think of that? Such a good camping spot, why didn't you check it carefully?"
But just like what he said when he taught the platoon leader a lesson, now that the hot air balloon is gone, it's too late to regret it!
After such a long period of training, Tang Fei is no longer the introverted hunter in the small mountain village. Although he knew that he had caused a big disaster, Tang Fei did not choose to escape. Instead, he secretly clenched his fists, forced himself to calm down, and thought about countermeasures.
"First platoon leader, you immediately take the first platoon back to report the news and tell General Fan and Mr. Yue that our hot air balloon has been burned out!" Bayi Chinese website
Tang Fei quickly arranged the task: "The rest of the platoon, as well as those who are not injured, stay where they are and take care of the injured brothers."
More than half of the bodyguards were burned just now, and the bodyguards who were not burned could not carry a single one, and they had no ability to transfer the injured.
In fact, even if there are enough manpower, transfers cannot be made at this time.
Because burn patients cannot move easily, otherwise during the movement, the already festering wounds will be easily worn away, aggravating the injury.
In this case, the best thing to do is to stay where you are, leaving the uninjured bodyguard to take care of the wounded, and then wait for rescue.
"Yes!" the platoon leader agreed, and immediately called the squad leader to convey Tang Fei's order.
The squad leader did not dare to delay, and immediately gathered his men to prepare for the return journey.
"Since the enemy is ambushing here, they will probably guess that you will go back to Dashan Pass, so you can't go back along the way you came."
Tang Fei reminded: "You should take Route 3 back!"
Jin Feng often said when training the bodyguards that they should never underestimate any enemy. The training materials for bodyguards also stated in boldface that they should despise the enemy strategically, but respect the enemy tactically!
So before setting off, Tang Fei and the others studied several routes. The one they were taking now was not the closest or the best, but a relatively middle one among several options.
In the end, he was discovered by the enemy.
Now that the enemy knows this route, he will definitely not be able to return the same way.
Route 3 is more difficult and more hidden than this road.
Although it takes longer, Tang Fei is willing to spend more time for safety.
Because they can't afford a second failure now.
The tens of thousands of soldiers at Jinfeng and Zhuanggou probably couldn't bear it either.
"Yes!" The squad leader saluted Tang Fei, and then left with the squad leader without even having time to take a bite of the food.
Tang Fei watched their backs disappear into the wind and snow, then turned to look at the platoon leader: "I'll leave this place to you from now on!"
"Batalion Commander, where are you going?" a platoon leader asked.
"The sir and the brothers in Zhuangzigou are still waiting for the hot air balloon. Even if we don't save the hot air balloon, we should go and tell the sir so that he can make plans in advance." Tang Fei replied.
After hearing this, the platoon leader lowered his head in shame again: "If only I had checked carefully..."
He knew that if Tang Fei went there this time, he would definitely be punished.
"What's the use of talking nonsense now?"
Tang Fei glared at the platoon leader and reminded: "Since the enemy is ambushing here, he must know this place. After I leave, you must be vigilant and be careful of them coming!"
"Battal Commander, don't worry. I'm worried that I can't find them. If they dare to come here, I will definitely keep them all!"
The platoon leader gritted his teeth and said.
Tang Fei asked the platoon leader and the wounded to stay where they were. Apart from the fact that this place was suitable for camping and the wounded with burns were not suitable for moving, he actually had this in mind.
Nowadays, the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, and the place is inaccessible. It is not suitable for large-scale marches at all. Not to mention the old soldiers under the King of Qin, even the most elite Ding'an Army under the King of Qin cannot come. At most, some dead soldiers will be sent here.
Although there is no shortage of dead men under the powerful, it is not easy to train a dead man. The dead men under King Qin are not big cabbage, so it is impossible to send too many.
The reconnaissance battalion is Jin Feng's key training target. Not only are the personnel selected from the various companies of the escort division, but the weapons and equipment are also the best.
For example, the squad leader of every squad in the second battalion has one of the short muskets.
Not to mention hand crossbows, grenades, flash bombs and the like, everyone carries them.
Coupled with the rigorous training for dead soldiers, even if a group of dead soldiers came, the platoon leader was confident that he would be able to stop them.
Having suffered such a big loss this time, it is possible that tens of thousands of Shu soldiers in Jin Feng and Zhuang Gou will be implicated. The escorts of the Second Reconnaissance Battalion are holding back a fire in their hearts, hoping that the dead soldiers will come over so that they can take revenge.
