In the endless mountains, ancient towering trees were densely covered with vines, and from time to time, there was a murmur in the ear??? South???
Through the fine branches, a team of heavily armed soldiers wearing steel helmets and camouflage uniforms quickly moved through the weeds and shrubs that were taller than a person on the ridge.
This mountain with no end in sight was the border area of the three countries. No one had set foot on it all year round. Even if there was a road many years ago, it had long been covered by vegetation and no traces could be seen.
Therefore, the soldiers could only identify the direction and take turns to open the road with daggers, moving towards the target area with difficulty.
After the synthetic combat division completed the change of guard, through the reconnaissance of satellites and high-altitude drones, a vague path was found in the no man's land at the border.
It was not normal for there to be a road in the primitive mountain forest, and this road suddenly appeared from the border of Laos and Yue. After more than ten kilometers into our country, it suddenly disappeared.
From the beginning to the end, not only was it not connected to the main road, but it was also far away from villages and towns. Therefore, there was no need to collect more information to make a judgment.
This path that appeared inexplicably and disappeared inexplicably was most likely a secret entry passage secretly opened by those guys in the Golden Triangle who did not care about their lives.
Therefore, this mountain became the main area for satellite surveillance.
At 10: 28 in the morning, the satellite surveillance image showed that about seven horses and thirteen unknown armed men in tattered clothes appeared in the dense forest about three kilometers from the border of our country.
Soon, they began to move along the path to our country.
After receiving the feedback, the military and police of Caiyun Province immediately held a conference call. There were only two points to be discussed in the meeting: Fight or follow!
Fight, wait for this group of unknown armed men to enter the country, catch them if you can, and destroy them if you can't.
Follow, send out investigators, and use various technical means to follow them, determine their whereabouts after entering the country, dig deep, and then kill them all.
The meeting was very short. Conclusion: Fight!
At 11: 19, when this team was about 1.5 kilometers away from our country's border, the synthetic combat division, the Mountain Tigers Special Forces, received an order from the higher-ups to intercept. At the same time, the helicopter squadron received an order to cooperate.
Considering that the satellite window was less than half an hour away, An Jingzhe would definitely take the drone investigation team with him on the mission.
However, the previous few operations had proven that the existing drone team in the Tiger Special Forces was not yet competent for the battlefield reconnaissance mission in a complex environment, so An Jingzhe immediately thought of Qu Sen.
This kid was really bold. He didn't even ask for instructions from his superiors before he rushed to the teaching team cafeteria to find Qu Sen. Qu Sen was even bolder. He knew what "actual combat" meant, so he followed An Jingzhe out of the cafeteria without thinking.
When the two rushed to the assembly point next to the helipad at full speed, An Jingzhe directly ordered the deputy operator of the drone team to disarm and hand over his equipment and weapons to Qu Sen. He also assisted Qu Sen to finish putting on his equipment.
The ability of the Tiger Warriors to carry out their orders was needless to say. Even though the assistant operator felt extremely wronged, he still carried out the order without hesitation.
When Qu Sen put on his tactical vest and stepped on the Type 81 Assault Rifle, there was a faint humming sound of helicopter propellers in the distance. The two helicopters quickly approached from afar, and after a short hover, they landed at the landing point at the same time.
"Boarding!"
With An Jingzhe's command, the two special forces teams quickly boarded. Qu Sen and another drone operator braved the strong wind from the propellers and followed the team into the cabin. An Jingzhe was the last to complete the registration and closed the cabin door.
After receiving the report that Team Two had boarded, An Jingzhe raised his hand and slammed the glass windows of the cabin and the cockpit three times in a row. Then the two helicopters lifted off one after another and headed toward the target area.
"Switch on the communicator." An Jingzhe sat across from Qu Sen, pointed at the switch at the root of the single-ear microphone stand, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Roger!" Qu Sen's ears were filled with the loud roar of the helicopter's engine, and he couldn't help but shout out loud.
"Free call, push-button call, single-ear mode, silent mode." An Jingzhe flipped the switch and explained one by one.
"Free call, push-button call, single-ear mode, silent mode." Qu Sen used his hand to adjust the gears one by one and confirmed it.
An Jingzhe gave Qu Sen a thumbs up and used his right hand to operate the LCD controller on his forearm one by one. "GPS, group channel, tactical channel, volume and other adjustments."
Qu Sen had fiddled with the Tiger Down the Mountain's personal computer when he participated in the exercise last time. Although the system had been upgraded, the general location of the options had not changed. So he skillfully repeated An Jingzhe's operation. "GPS, group channel, tactical channel, volume and other adjustments."
"Okay, now adjust to the tactical channel and log in to the drone team. Password: 366247." An Jingzhe saw that Qu Sen could operate skillfully and gave the operation instructions.
Qu Sen's personal computer was originally in the tactical channel, but he still followed An Jingzhe's instructions and entered again after exiting the channel. He selected the drone team in the login team, and after entering the password, the login confirmation popped up on the LCD screen.
An Jingzhe reached out and entered 037 in the code column and pressed the confirm button. Then he also pressed the confirm button on the control terminal on his forearm.
"Do you remember the code 037?"
Qu Sen adjusted the gear on the headset to push-button call and pressed the call button. "Code 037, remember!"

An aircraft landing required the support of a landing site. Even a supersonic landing required a relatively flat area. However, it was difficult to find such a suitable area among the crisscrossed brothels in the depths of the mountains.
Therefore, the two special forces teams of the Tiger Down the Mountain were placed eight kilometers away from the target area in a straight line. They needed to travel on foot for the rest of the journey.
Mountain marching was an essential training subject for the Army. The Tiger Down the Mountain had specially gone to Caiyun Province for adaptive training before the change of guard. Even so, it was still a very difficult task to pass through the rugged mountain stream where the trees were growing wildly.
Especially for Qu Sen, it was the first time he was in such an environment. In front of them were tall weeds and shrubs that almost completely blocked their line of sight. Above their heads were branches and leaves that occasionally penetrated through a few rays of sunlight.
In addition to the weeds that tripped their feet, there was soft humus soil full of dead branches and rotten leaves.
As the team moved forward, snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds, and beasts would be alarmed on both sides and above their heads from time to time, making a startling noise.
Following the soldiers in front of them, Qu Sen had completely lost his sense of direction after bypassing a few mountains along the mountainside and col.
He looked around, trying to find a reference point. In the end, he suddenly saw a long, emerald green snake hanging from a branch less than half a meter above his head.
Its small, triangular head moved slightly as it stared at Qu Sen who was running in front of its eyes. Its thin, scarlet tongue flicked quickly, looking as if it was looking for a place to bite.
Qu Sen almost screamed out loud, but the shout was already in his throat and he forced it back down. He did not believe that the soldiers running in front of him did not see the snake hanging above their heads. Since everyone could ignore it, he had to do the same.
If he accidentally screamed out, he really could not afford to lose face!
An Jingzhe's voice sounded in the earpiece. "Attention, vanguard team. Minefield No. 3 is in front. Pay attention to the edge and go around!"
"Understood. Go around the minefield." The two vanguard soldiers who were leading the way for the team responded.
Qu Sen raised his arm and looked at the electronic map. In the mountain area between the two big mountains in front of them, there was a red zone about one kilometer in diameter, which just happened to seal off the area of the mountain pass.
The minefield blocked the relatively easy route, so the special forces could only go around the steep area of the mountainside.
As a result, the road ahead became more and more difficult to walk. On the steep mountainside, their feet stepped on the soft humus soil, making it impossible to stand steadily. They could only rely on the trunks and branches of the trees or shrubs that they passed to barely stabilize their bodies as they moved forward.
Compared to the soldiers who had undergone adaptive training, Qu Sen moved forward with extra difficulty. Because he did not know the local plants, there were a few times when he grabbed the branches of the shrubs with barbed thorns to support himself.
Although the tactical gloves were wear-resistant, they could not block the slender and sharp thorns of the plants. In order not to slip, he could only endure the pain in his fingers and palms and not let go, stabilizing his body and continuing to move forward.
"037, can you keep up?" An Jingzhe noticed that the distance between Qu Sen and the soldiers in front of him was gradually increasing, so he asked through the individual communication device.
"Don't worry, no problem!" Qu Sen replied while gasping for breath.
"Follow the team, don't roll down the mountainside, the minefield is below," An Jingzhe reminded.
"Yes!" When Qu Sen responded, his feet slipped again. Fortunately, there was a small tree growing diagonally below. After his left foot slid down for a while, it was blocked by the roots. Fortunately, he did not continue to slide down.
"035, pay attention to 037, if he slips, you must grab him in time!" An Jingzhe's voice sounded in the headset again, but this time the communication device was 035, another member of the drone team.
035 was originally a signalman of Tiger Down the Mountain. After he and another comrade were sent to the drone teaching team to learn, because of his better skills, he became the main operator of the team. After Qu Sen joined, he became the deputy operator and followed Qu Sen all the time.
Seeing that Qu Sen's walking state was indeed unstable, he adjusted the communication device to the team channel and said, "037, adjust your center of gravity slightly to the right, not too much, or the soil under your feet will be too loose and you won't be able to stand steadily. In addition, try to step on the top of the plants with developed roots as much as possible, it is relatively stable there. "
When people stood on a slope at a higher angle, they would subconsciously adjust their center of gravity to keep their body upright. But when they encountered soft soil under their feet, the more upright they were, the more serious the slide would be due to gravity.
In order to move smoothly in this situation, a lot of adaptive training was needed to allow the body to adapt and adjust little by little.
But obviously, Qu Sen did not have the time to adapt. He could only follow 035's reminder and try to shift his center of gravity little by little to find a suitable position.
After consciously shifting his center of gravity to the left, although he always felt that his body would fall at any time, the slippage under his feet was indeed a little better. In addition, Qu Sen mastered the technique of landing his feet, and finally raised his forward speed slightly, barely able to keep up with the speed of the team members in front.
"Five minutes left in the 001 satellite window," the signalman reported.
"012, 013, after bypassing the minefield, take over 016, 017. The target is 45 degrees southwest. We will go to the west side of Highland 713 and block in front of them." An Jingzhe used the satellite mark to confirm the position of the armed entry team and gave the order.
"Yes!" The second team's vanguard team responded after receiving the order and quickly took over the position of the vanguard after bypassing the minefield, opening a path for the team behind.
After an hour and twenty-five minutes of high-intensity marching, the two special forces teams of Tiger Down the Mountain finally arrived at the west side of Highland 713.
"The ambush formation is scattered and hidden. The drone team is ready to fly and investigate." An Jingzhe immediately gave the order.
"Yes!" Qu Sen responded and motioned for 035 to follow him.
