Chapter 60 The Special Warfare Company Commander's Conjecture
Soon, the blue soldiers turned on their flashlights to search. It was not until the blue army special operations company commander ran over that he shouted: "Who told you to turn on the flashlights? Don't you think you are eye-catching enough?"
The deputy company commander immediately explained the reason. After the company commander tried it, he found that it was exactly what the deputy company commander said. It was not suitable to use night vision goggles in the forest.
In this case, just use a flashlight. Since there are many of us, we just need to find traces of their progress and pursue them vigorously. Having a light source will be more conducive to the pursuit.
But after the special operations company commander called the platoon commander to inquire about the situation, the platoon commander actually reported: "Company commander, we are trying our best to find clues. We don't know how they escaped. They didn't leave many traces during their march. The pursuit
It’s a little difficult to get up.”
What? No trace left?
This is a forest area. When the branches are dense, you can't move forward without cutting them with a knife. Even if the branches are not so dense, you will always encounter hanging branches when you move forward.
The leaves under the branches are always damaged, and the branches are always bent. How is it possible that there are no traces left?
Of course the platoon leader knew these most basic hunting techniques, but after searching all around, he really found no obvious signs of human presence on the surrounding branches.
"Report to the company commander, I am arranging people to search, I believe we will find clues."
At this moment, a corporal ran over and said, "Report to the platoon leader that we found a row of footprints, which are suspected to be left by the enemy."
After hearing this, the company commander immediately set off and said, "Take me over and have a look."
After arriving at the scene of the footprints, the special operations company commander carefully observed the environment here, and he felt something strange. The branches here were all intact, not to mention that the branches were not twisted, and even the leaves on them were not there.
Fall.
Except for a few inconspicuous footprints, there were no traces of movement.
This scene really frightened the special operations company commander. The ability to have such superb action marks proved that they had a lot of knowledge about forest warfare. At least they themselves could not do it to this extent.
I am an old company commander with more than ten years of military service. Could it be that Brigade A secretly sent many elite soldiers to the service support battalion this time?
No, I know the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander of Brigade A quite well. They were people who came here to participate in exercises back then, and I was just a platoon leader who had just graduated from the military academy.
I have seen their methods by chance, especially Deputy Brigadier Meng, who is excellent in both combat and reconnaissance, and even captured our brigade commander himself.
I had met him when I was taking inventory after the war. Based on my feelings about him, Deputy Brigadier Meng should definitely disdain to do such a thing.
But this doesn't make sense. I absolutely don't believe that there are three experts who are proficient in forest warfare in a small service support camp.
Except for Deputy Brigadier Meng, who was the director of the special forces training center, he didn't know who else would come up with such strong soldiers.
If they were really brought by Deputy Brigadier Meng, let alone his own special operations company, even if they were coming from a battalion, it would be difficult to catch them in the vast forest.
But at this time, the special operations company had already lost a squad. He was really unwilling to continue the pursuit, but he was also afraid that allocating too many troops would be in vain here. But with few troops, he was also afraid of being counterattacked.
Deputy Brigadier Meng was a fierce man. I didn't dare to guess how elite the people he trained were.
After thinking for a moment, the special operations company commander arranged: "First Platoon Commander, the search task is given to your platoon. Divide the squad into three groups and search along the footprints. Each squad is not allowed to disperse, and each soldier cannot be separated by more than two seconds.
Meters, the search time is three hours, once the time is up, bring it back immediately."
When the deputy company commander heard this, he left a platoon to search. Isn't this a bit too little? "Company commander, do we have other tasks? If other tasks are urgent, I suggest that we withdraw from the pursuit and leave two people behind."
The main road is deployed and controlled, and everyone else goes to perform their tasks."
The company commander shook his head, "There are no other tasks, but we cannot waste too much manpower and material resources. The physical exertion of hunting in the forest is far greater than that on the plains. Three hours of searching in a row is already their limit."
The deputy company commander said, "It turns out that the company commander wants to start a wheel battle with them, but that's right, there are only three of them, and our three platoons take turns chasing them, which will definitely kill them."
The company commander heard this and smiled bitterly, "Don't have such good illusions. Just rely on their escape techniques. If we don't have any clues after three hours, we can conclude that the target has been completely lost."
"These few people are not simple. Their strength has far exceeded our tracking level. If we waste too much time and energy on them, we will only be restrained by them."
The deputy company commander is quite aware of the strength of the company commander. No one who can become a special operations company commander is simple, but these people actually forced the company commander to say such depressing words. This is really unprecedented.
But soon, a report came from a platoon that surprised the deputy company commander. As the forest became more and more dense, there were still very few traces of their path, and looking at the newness of the footprints, it showed that they had been beaten by them.
Falling further and further.
If we continue to hunt, I'm afraid there won't be any gains for a few days.
When the company commander saw that only an hour had passed, the platoon commander was already thinking of giving up the pursuit. He couldn't help but sigh, it's not that we are useless, but that the enemy is too strong.
"Order the platoon leader to withdraw. We have no choice but to swallow our losses this time. The point of continuing the pursuit has been lost."
At this time, Lin Yi and the two people had been running for an hour, and the three people's physical strength was gradually exhausted. Even if Lin Yi had reconnaissance skills and could always choose the optimal route, running for an hour would be quite long even on flat ground.
not easy.
After all, it only takes 17 minutes to travel five kilometers with light equipment and the excellent route.
If the two men hadn't known that there were hundreds of Blue Army soldiers chasing them, they wouldn't have been able to run for an hour.
So while running, one of the people accidentally tripped and fell, and immediately fell down and lay motionless on the ground.
Lin Yi's physical fitness was at four points, so he was in pretty good shape. The other corporal who was not tripped was panting heavily and felt like his lungs were about to explode. Every time he took a breath, the soft air was like
It felt like a knife, and it hurt my chest.
Lin Yi asked the corporal to walk and rest first, while he immediately placed the fallen man on a flat surface and rubbed his calves.
The physical fitness of the people in the combat team is still not good. If they trip and fall at this time, they are just exhausted. Resting for half an hour is enough to recover. But after running for an hour, they suddenly stop and their legs and feet will definitely cramp. Lin Yi can do it
All I could do was rub his legs and feet.
As for their physical strength and their lungs that are about to explode, they can only rely on themselves to adjust slowly.
