No one thought that this corporal with only four years of military service could actually escape the search of a group of five veterans of the special investigation. More than a whole day passed without any trace of the enemy.
"Search Team 1, how is the situation over there? Have you found anything?"
"Report to captain, nothing found."
"Team 2, how is the situation over there?"
"Report to the captain, we haven't found anything here..."
…
Shi Lingyun will inquire about the situation every ten minutes.
But it's a pity.
The results are very consistent.
Every search party found nothing.
This made him lose face.
"Guard unit, have you checked the situation near the building?"
"Report to the captain, we have checked every inch of the area within 600 meters and found nothing."
The guard unit is the unit responsible for target security.
They guard around the mission target, simulating enemy guards in reality.
"It's so evil..."
Shi Lingyun couldn't help but mutter.
"Expand the search range to 800 meters... no, expand it to 1,000 meters!"
"Captain, we don't have enough manpower."
"I will send the search team 3 to cooperate with you. You will send half of the manpower to search first, and make sure that there is absolutely no one within 1,000 meters around the target."
"yes!"
The order was quickly executed.
Dozens of kilometers away, around the building where the target was located, the captain of the security team came out of the room and called the names of several team members.
"You guys, follow me to search the mountain. The others will stay and be more vigilant."
"yes!"
The guard captain said nothing and led the five people away.
Now, there are only 6 team members left around the building.
In fact, Shi Mingyuan had already arrived at the target area an hour before they mobilized manpower to expand the search area.
It was already 4pm.
There is not much time left for the mission.
After 38 hours of rafting, he was already exhausted.
If it hadn't been in the middle of training, I'd probably have given him a bed and he could have slept on it all day and all night.
The chocolate in the individual soldiers' food to refresh themselves has been eaten.
The most terrible thing is that there are so many mosquitoes here, like a swarm of crazy bombers. If you don't pay attention for a moment, these hungry mosquitoes will swoop down and bite you on your skin.
Although camouflage uniforms and field scarves have a certain effect in preventing mosquitoes, they are a bit limited compared to the wild conditions under such extreme conditions.
Even if the cuffs are pulled up to the wrists and covered with a field scarf, the face and back of the hands and wrists will still be a little exposed.
Just a little bit of skin can already drive those mosquitoes crazy for it.
Shi Mingyuan took off his backpack and placed it on the ground, then took out a large handful of small chrysanthemum-like plants from his side pocket.
This was something he picked on the road before.
The mountains are treasures.
If there are mosquitoes, there will naturally be something to control them.
This little chrysanthemum-like thing has another name: pyrethrum.
Pyrethrum is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family. It usually blooms from May to August. The flowers are very beautiful, with white petals and yellow stamens, and their appearance is very recognizable.
The most important thing is that this thing has a feature that is extremely popular among special forces - it can repel mosquitoes.
This Asteraceae plant contains special ingredients. When mosquitoes and flies come into contact with this colorless viscous liquid contained in the flowers, they will suffer from nerve paralysis, poisoning and death, hence the name.
The most amazing thing is that this thing is harmless to the human body.
Therefore, all veterans of special operations units who are good at jungle warfare know the wonderful use of this stuff. Whenever they see it in the wild, they will collect some and stuff it into their backpacks. When camping at night, they can crush it and mix it with a little water to use as mosquito repellent.
liquid to use.
Apply it on the body and no mosquitoes will dare to bite you for at least 5 hours.
But Shi Mingyuan didn't learn these methods in the army, he learned them at home.
His grandfather lives in the countryside nearby. Although Xiaoshi Mingyuan goes to school and lives in a city hundreds of kilometers away, he always goes back to visit his grandfather during holidays, winter and summer vacations.
Grandpa is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the village. He has been treating people in the village all his life.
All capable Chinese medicine practitioners have one characteristic: they can pick their own medicines and identify the medicines themselves.
Most of the herbal medicines in traditional Chinese medicine come from the mountains, and Shi Mingyuan's grandfather is no exception. Every once in a while, he carries a backpack with a rope, a machete, and a small hoe in it, and wanders into the mountains. When he comes back,
I can always bring back a basket of herbs.
When Shi Ming was a child, he loved to go to the mountains with his grandfather to collect herbs.
Therefore, he basically knows what can be eaten in the mountains, what can cure diseases, and what can repel mosquitoes.
This is something Shi Lingyun, the captain of the "Iron Fist" squadron, did not expect.
He originally thought that these special forces from the Tiger Brigade would be like a dragon crossing the river when they came here. No matter how powerful they were, they would not be able to defeat the local snakes.
Unexpectedly, among these 18 people, there was actually a serious "local snake".
Therefore, the reason why Shi Mingyuan could not be caught was not because the people in the "Iron Fist" squadron were too incompetent, but because the sniper Shi Mingyuan was "too cunning."
Shi Mingyuan quickly added a little water with the lid of the lunch box, and then used a stone to crush the pyrethrum and mix the juice. He smeared these things on his neck, face, hands, and feet.
After doing all this, he carefully found a conspicuous place, gently threw away the rotten leaves on the ground, poured the remaining residue in, and finally restored it to its original state.
He knew that hunters in the mountains would use trails to track their prey, and they would see through any incongruity on the ground at a glance.
Along the way, Shi Mingyuan was careful, abiding by the principles of jungle warfare, and tried to erase all traces he left behind.
After doing all this, he found a commanding height and conducted some reconnaissance of the target area.
The building is a dilapidated two-story building with a large courtyard. It is estimated that it was a logging point set up here by a state-owned enterprise in the early years. It is now abandoned and used as a training point by the Iron Fist Squadron.
According to the mission briefing, the target is in a room on the second floor.
Shi Mingyuan wanted to change the observation location, but gave up after thinking about it.
Because it's not dark yet.
Running around at this time is easy to be discovered.
He decided to wait another two hours.
Anyway, it will be dawn after six o'clock.
What's more, according to the briefing, the target would go downstairs to eat three times a day.
That's the only chance to snipe the opponent.
So he was not in a hurry to conduct reconnaissance, and simply found a place to replenish some physical energy.
The two-day rations he carried were actually not durable. The rations were fixed, but he consumed too much in more than one day.
To stay awake in the water, people must maintain body temperature. Where does body temperature come from? They can only rely on food.
This was the last night, basically at two o'clock in the morning, or else, so Shi Mingyuan did not save the last food and ate them all.
Just as he was finishing his last bite of noodles, he suddenly heard a slight rustling sound nearby.
Someone!
He stopped and listened carefully.
It's coming from the right.
Shi Mingyuan stood up quickly and left quietly to the left to avoid contact.
Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, I heard rustling on the left side.
The dick is hairy!
There are people on both sides!
Have these guys discovered themselves?
When I think about it, it’s not right.
Definitely not.
It is estimated that they used the cross search method and happened to cross here.
