When Deputy Squad Leader Zhu saw the two wolves running away, he laughed, "I didn't even turn on the safety, but I scared the two wolves away. The rifle is still a strong deterrent."
Lin Yi had been watching Deputy Squad Leader Zhu at the sentry post to drive away the wolves, because the strong wind was blowing and the snow was blown all over the sky, greatly reducing visibility.
Therefore, where Deputy Squad Leader Zhu could not see, Lin Yi could see clearly because of his reconnaissance skills.
He could clearly see that the two wolves had not gone far, so when Deputy Squad Leader Zhu led the team back to the post, Lin Yi reminded: "Deputy Squad Leader Zhu, the wind is so strong now, don't take off your equipment first.
Yes, wear Bei Qin."
Deputy squad leader Zhu looked surprised, "Platoon leader, should I prepare for duty?"
Generally speaking, the squad leader and deputy squad leader are responsible for leading the team, or they are the leader of the patrol team, or they are responsible for the work within the station.
It's not that the squad leader and deputy squad leader don't prepare for duty, it's just that the squad leader has an old noncommissioned officer to lead the team. If the squad leader is replaced, it will be a waste of resources. There are only about ten people in one outpost. If one person is not used properly, it is easy to cause trouble.
However, when Lin Yi spoke, Deputy Squad Leader Zhu did not dare to refuse and put the rifle back on his body again.
Lin Yi didn't care about the opinions of other staff. He stared at the wolves outside the window again. He could feel that these wolves were paying attention to the vegetable cellar.
But Lin Yi was a little confused. Shouldn't wolves eat meat? There is no meaty smell in this vegetable cellar, how can they also like to eat it?
However, Lin realized that the wolf was still eating garbage just now, and he felt relieved.
When hungry, they will even eat garbage, let alone vegetables. For them, survival is more important than what they eat.
Time soon came to night, and the wind speed had reached about level 8. Deputy squad leader Zhu was a little puzzled when he saw that Lin Yi had been at the sentry post on the second floor for a long time without coming down. After climbing up to the second floor, he saw Lin Yi staring at him.
He looked out the window at the dark place and said, "Platoon leader, dinner will be served soon. Do you want to eat first?"
Lin Yi saw that Deputy Squad Leader Zhu was still wearing his equipment, and stretched out his hand and said: "Come on, it's been taking so long to prepare for duty. Give me the equipment and I'll prepare for duty."
Deputy squad leader Zhu listened to the strong wind outside and said what he was holding in his heart, "Platoon leader, in this weather condition, it is enough to have personnel at the gate on the first floor to be on duty. On sunny days, it is okay to add more backup personnel.
On this windy day, there is really no need to add more people to prepare."
Lin Yi did not mention the possibility of the wolves attacking the vegetable cellar. Besides, the mission lasted for two months. It might be today, or it might be the last day.
There is no need for me to increase everyone's panic.
"Give me your equipment. The safer the time, the more vigilant we must be. The enemy will not attack when you are ready, they will only attack when they are unprepared."
When Deputy Squad Leader Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then decisively put the rifle back behind his back, "Platoon Leader, I understand what you mean. I was careless before. I thought I had more experience, so I subconsciously relaxed.
But I forgot that experience is not the most important thing against the enemy. The most important thing is that we must have a nerve that is tense at all times and cannot be paralyzed.
Always be prepared. These words should be deep in the hearts of our border guards. Don't worry, I will never give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of me. I will definitely be more on duty and more prepared in my free time."
Lin Yi didn't expect that Deputy Squad Leader Zhu would think so. He scratched his head and said, "You'd better give me the equipment first. Aren't you going to eat right away? You guys eat first."
Deputy squad leader Zhu waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm not hungry."
Lin Yi's eyes widened, "You have to eat even if you're not hungry. If you don't eat at meal time, are you waiting to starve your stomach? The conditions here are inherently difficult, so we have to pay attention to our health. Give me the equipment. You go first.
Have a meal."
When Deputy Squad Leader Zhu saw Lin Yi getting angry, he took off his equipment. After Lin Yi put it on, he walked out with a flashlight and a walkie-talkie in his arms.
When the backup staff saw this, they also took the initiative to follow Lin Yi. When traveling at night, unless they were going to the toilet, they had to be accompanied by two people.
Sometimes when the weather is very windy, even going to the toilet requires two people.
The soldiers following Lin Yi didn't dare to ask. Anyway, they just followed Lin Yi. Because the wind was strong, Lin Yi didn't take the initiative to speak, otherwise it would be too small to talk about it. What if he was like the eighth squad leader?
If your lungs are injured, it will be troublesome to go down the mountain for treatment.
Lin Yi came out this time with a very clear purpose, which was to inspect the outdoor vegetable cellar.
Because of the gap, Lin Yi could only see the vegetable cellar door clearly from the sentry post on the second floor. Generally speaking, it is enough to be able to see the vegetable cellar door. The snow in other places is five to six meters thick, and ordinary things cannot get in.
, at least the vegetable cellar door is the easiest place to break into.
But wolves are animals that cannot be understood with human thought, so they have to patrol every circle.
Because the wind was blowing heavily and the snow was blowing hard, the snow on the vegetable cellar was now even more solid. Lin Yi stood up carefully and found that there were no footprints left.
If human footprints cannot be left behind, then wolf footprints are even less likely to be left behind.
Someone at the sentry post on the second floor is always observing the vegetable cellar. The wolf probably won't attack from the front. It seems that we need to put some mouse traps behind the vegetable cellar. This way we can at least know whether a wolf has been to this place.
As soon as he thought of it, Lin Yi immediately got up and went to the outpost to get the mouse trap. When a corporal saw it, he asked in surprise: "Is the platoon leader going to catch rabbits?"
A superior soldier next to him said: "What are you catching rabbits? This is a mousetrap. I guess the platoon leader was afraid that rats would dig through the vegetable cellar and eat them, so he put a few in. I have to say that the platoon leader was thoughtful. This is all."
Can take care of it.”
When the corporal heard this, he clicked his tongue and said, "Don't keep thinking about flattering us. There are no mice here. There are only prairie dogs. Although the prairie dogs are very good at digging holes, they are hibernating at this time. How can they go to our house?"
Stealing food from the vegetable cellar."
Only then did the superior soldier remember, "Yes, platoon leader, we don't have any mice this winter. This mouse trap is to prevent groundhogs from digging up the sand and gravel near the outpost. We don't need it now."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "I don't use this thing to prevent mice. I always feel that wild animals will attack our vegetable cellar, so I put a few there as a warning. I check it every morning. If the clip has been touched, I will
It proves that the vegetable cellar has been targeted, so we have to be careful."
The corporal thought about the structure of the vegetable cellar. The inside is an insulation layer, the middle is covered with barbed wire, the outside is directly reinforced by ice, and the outermost layer is covered with more than five meters of thick snow.
He really couldn't figure out what kind of wild animals would take notice of such a well-protected place. By the time they dug through the vegetable cellar, it would probably be spring.
