The Il-76 is still hovering over the mountainous area.
Chen Kefan did not leave the cabin door for a moment, but accidentally glanced at the communication microphone hanging on the wall of the cabin next to him.
This microphone is linked to the cockpit, and all special forces headphone communications are linked to the aircraft's system. As long as there is a report of casualties, the aircraft pilot will receive the message immediately and then relay it to Chen Kefan, Lei Ming and others in the cabin.
"It's almost time." Lei Ming walked behind Chen Kefan, looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. We'll start collecting information in three minutes."
Chen Kefan nodded and saw a map in Lei Ming's hand, so he asked: "Have you communicated with the people from the Ministry of Public Security about the route this time? There can be no omissions in the entire plan, otherwise it will cost human lives."
"Even in a strict plan, emergencies will occur." Lei Ming said: "It is necessary to be fully prepared for everything, but you must be flexible in everything. This is the quality of top special forces."
After that, he looked at the map in his hand.
Pointing to one of the river lines, he said: "The border armed police and the public security anti-narcotics team were attacked at this location four days ago."
He took out a red pen and drew a circle on it, covering a large area.
"If my estimate is correct, the border police and anti-drug police must have posed a threat to something important belonging to drug dealers. Generally speaking, drug dealers would rather hide from the border police and anti-drug police than confront them head-on. This time
If you take the initiative to attack, there must be something fishy in this area."
"So you arranged such a task for them by the way? Using a reinforced company of special forces to deal with a few drug dealers? Why do I feel that this is a bit like anti-aircraft cannons to fight mosquitoes?"
"Kefan, I put a lot of effort into getting Mr. Bao to contact the public security department and finally arranged for us an opportunity to practice. Just be satisfied!"
Lei Ming sighed and said: "Don't underestimate those drug dealers. They live with real guns and live ammunition every day. Although our special forces have world-class training, what about their actual combat experience? Now, except for those special forces in the Northwest,
Outside of the army, when it comes to actual combat experience, perhaps some soldiers in special forces at the military region level are not as good as the anti-narcotics police at the border. Training is always training. To forge real top soldiers, you have to be thrown into actual combat and listen to the bullets.
Listen to the sound passing over your head, and try the feeling of being stunned by a grenade. Ten rounds of bullets fired on the battlefield are more effective than a hundred rounds fired in a shooting range."
Chen Kefan nodded in agreement and said: "Many of the special forces soldiers selected this time have actual combat experience in counter-terrorism, emergency response, overseas raids, and overseas escorts, but not too many times."
"Well, are they the boys from the Northwest Wolf and Falcon Brigade, right? Let's focus on observation. Practical experience is very important. If you are also excellent in military skills, you will be given priority for admission." Lei Ming said.
Chen Kefan smiled bitterly and said: "Come on, there are only seven people left out of more than a hundred people. How much priority do you think we can get? No matter how prioritized we are, most of them will still have to withdraw from training."
"It's no problem to withdraw from the training. We have indirectly provided top-level training to the special forces in each region. At least we have gained experience here. When we return to the old army, we can teach others and improve the actual combat level of our entire special operations force.
." Lei Ming said.
Chen Kefan said: "I didn't realize that you are actually an idealist."
"I am not an idealist. Strictly speaking, I am a hero because I worship heroes. Besides, a single spark can start a prairie fire. This is what Chairman Mao said."
Chen Kefan smiled and said, "Well, you can speak with your mouth anyway, but I can't speak with you."
Lei Ming clicked his tongue in disgust and said, "It's not because I can say it, it's because what I told is the truth."
After saying that, he raised his hand and looked at his watch. The pointer was exactly a quarter past four in the afternoon.
"It's almost time. It's time to collect the results and see if there is any damage."
It has been ten minutes since the soldiers participating in the selection jumped out of the plane. At this altitude, they should have reached the ground long ago.
"Test, test." Chen Kefan picked up the microphone and tried it. There was no problem. There was no noise on the channel and the communication was smooth.
"The eagle calls the chicken, please report the parachute situation."
Each special forces member participating in the selection has his own training number, 1-153, one for each person.
"Safe landing on the 7th..."
"Security No. 8..."
"Safe No. 56..."
Chen Kefan took a hardboard folder with a list of personnel and drew on it with a red pencil. He circled a number when he reported that he was safe.
Suddenly, Xu Wu's anxious voice came from the microphone.
"Instructor Chen, something happened."
Chen Kefan's pen stopped on the paper.
"What went wrong?"
"Qin Fei dropped his umbrella."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I deliberately followed him and watched him fall into the mountain stream. When I flew over, I saw that my umbrella was already hanging on the cliff."
"Where are the people?" Chen Kefan couldn't help but feel a little stiff.
Something happened?
It really was the recruit egg that had an accident.
His eyes glanced at Lei Ming next to him, who touched his chin and squeezed out the word "Chuan" on his brow.
"Where are you now? Are you close to him?"
Xu Wu said: "I landed on a nearby riverside beach. It's not far from Qin Fei's location. I can go there and have a look."
It fell in the mountain stream, the umbrella was hung on the cliff, and no one was there...
In fact, Chen Kefan felt that the possibility of Qin Fei still being alive was very small.
It seems that there is really no such thing as luck. If you have never skydived, you have never skydived. If you have no experience, you are looking for death if you jump in a place like this.
"Okay, let's confirm, if it's true..."
He didn't want to say the word "death".
"After confirmation, we will send a helicopter to deal with the aftermath. You can continue to perform your mission. If something happens to Qin Fei, his mission will be over, and you are not here yet."
Chen Kefan collected his somewhat scattered energy and said: "All team members, listen up. I estimate that Qin Fei is not the first one to have an accident during the selection process of Unit 203, and may not be the last one. You still have your own tasks. On your map
There is a small sealed envelope in the bag. You can open it now. It contains your respective tasks. Each team member must complete it according to the instructions inside, otherwise it will be disqualified."
In the channel, there is silence.
No reply.
Chen Kefan glanced at the ground. Dusk had fallen, night was coming, and everything was blurry.
He sighed softly and turned back to ask Lei Ming.
"Lao Lei, are we too cold-blooded?"
Lei Ming looked outside the cabin door, the last red ray of sunset sinking into the horizon.
"No, it's because we are too passionate."
"What?"
Lei Ming finally put down his right hand that had been touching his chin. In the deep dusk, his face was blurred.
"Because we love this country so much, we forget ourselves."
