It took nearly two hours to retrieve the last two workhorses and the goods that were scattered around the area. The main reason was that the pack horses were in a panic after being frightened, and the goods on their backs fell everywhere. It took a lot of time to collect them.
After cleaning up the battlefield, they waited for more than an hour before a squadron of the border police finally arrived after crossing the mountains.
The armed police squadron set off at about the same time as the special forces. It was not because they were too slow that they only arrived now. It was because the special forces had taken a helicopter to fly over most of the way, while the armed police soldiers had relied on their legs all the way.
After handing over the captives and all the seized goods to the major who led the armed police, the special forces began their return journey.
The mission was urgent when they came, and there was a helicopter to transport them. There was obviously no need to waste fuel on the way back. Anyway, the distance was "not far". The straight-line distance was 47 kilometers, and the actual crossing distance was more than 70 kilometers.
The return journey after the mission was also a cross-country training.
Because time was not as urgent as when they came, the return journey was relatively slow. When they arrived at the minefield again, they did not go straight through the more dangerous mountainside. Instead, they went around the foot of the mountain.
An Jingzhe asked the soldiers to use local materials to reinforce and supplement the warning signs outside the minefield. The sun had completely disappeared behind the mountain.
By the time more than 30 people had completely left the minefield area, the night sky that occasionally appeared in the gaps of the canopy above their heads was already densely covered with stars. The birds that were often seen during the day had long gone into the forest to rest, and the small beasts that were active at night went out to look for food.
The more vigilant ones jumped and fled as soon as they heard the sound of people from afar. The timid ones directly found a hidden corner and crawled without moving.
As for the insensitive ones, they stood coldly in the same place, curiously looking at the "strange animals" that walked upright not far away.
As the special forces moved forward, the surroundings seemed to be filled with all kinds of creatures at all times. Any casual turn of the head could see big or small, bright or dark, curious or vigilant eyes flashing.
The eyes of the animals showed different colors at night. Some were blue, some were green, and some were even reflected by the light of the flashlight.
It wasn't that Qu Sen hadn't run at night before. He could even run through the wilderness at night without any problems.
However, he was situated in the mountains of Caiyun Province. Above his head was a dark canopy of trees. Under his feet was soft soil and mixed roots. Around him were vegetation and shrubs that were taller than a person. In addition, there was a large number of wild animals.
Even though he was in the team, he still felt extremely insecure.
The group advanced for more than an hour. When they passed by a stream with a relatively wide field of vision, An Jingzhe ordered them to take a temporary break.
After the sentries dispersed, the soldiers took out water filters one after another. After stuffing in the medicine packs, they filtered the water from the kettles that had long been emptied. Then, they sat together, took out field rations, and drank water that smelled of medicine to recover their strength.
Although it wasn't hot, at least there was food and drink. Everyone's nerves gradually relaxed.
One of the northeasterners from Team Two raised his head and said, "Team One, you guys are too f * cked up. Xiao Zhuangzhuang (Xiao Zhuangzhuang) shot two, Instructor Qu shot three, so the rest of you were shooting drones! "
"That's right. When I heard you guys were fighting, I thought we had nothing to do! In the end … more than half of you ran over! "An old sergeant from Team Two joined in the commotion, causing the soldiers of Team Two to roar with laughter.
"Go, go, go. You can't stuff your mouth with food. Be careful not to choke to death!" The captain of Team One said angrily. His face was extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, he had applied oil paint and the sky was still dark. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide his red face.
"Our Instructor Qu is still the most ferocious. The three that he hit had at least two holes in their bodies." Wei Tao, a spotter from the sniper team, gave Qu Sen a thumbs up.
"Two holes? You didn't see the two that were killed by the drone, right? One had eight holes in his body, and the other had twelve. The guy with eight holes, when Xiao Liu and I lifted him up, his brain juice kept flowing out. "
"Hey, don't say it, don't say it. It's too disgusting. You can't keep this pair of pants when we go back." Xiao Liu interrupted the soldiers in the same group and looked at the black and yellow stains that had already scabbed on his pants with a look of disgust.
"Haha, you should. Did you wear this when you peed your pants last time?" A team of soldiers finally found a chance to fight back and immediately used this topic to mock Team Two.
"Damn squid, you're the one who peed your pants." Xiao Liu raised his hand and threw the half-eaten field rations over.
The second-level sergeant called "squid" was not angry. He reached out and caught the field rations, put it in his mouth and took a bite. While chewing hard, he made a face at Xiao Liu, causing everyone to laugh.
Xiao Liu was so angry that he almost threw the water bottle over.
When Xiao Liu climbed the tree to pick up the drone last time, he first removed a bat that was hanging in the dead leaves of the treetops. When he jumped down from the tree, he was five centimeters away and almost stepped on a PPM2.
He was so scared that he was sweating on the spot. His clothes and pants were soaked. Everyone joked that he peed his pants.
"Commander, I can't stay here anymore. I apply to learn how to use drones." Xiao Liu took the opportunity to apply to An Jingzhe.
"When we go back, you all go and learn. Whoever learns well can stay and continue to 'study.'" An Jingzhe had this plan when he was summing up the battle in his mind along the way, and now it was the right time to say it.
It was the special forces, so the soldiers definitely had to learn more. Just like driving, ordinary drivers were drivers, and combatants were combatants. But among the 200 people in the Tiger Squad, not to mention cars and motorcycles, they could even drive armored vehicles and tanks.
If it were not for Yue Jianjun's refusal, An Jingzhe planned to let everyone take turns to the helicopter squadron to learn how to fly a plane.
"Okay, everyone's tuition is a pack of cigarettes. I guarantee you'll learn!" Qu Sen ate some food and was a little addicted to smoking. However, he definitely could not smoke in the wild, so he could only take out one and put it under his nose to smell.
"Hey, there's a cigarette!" Wei Tao was worthy of being called an observer. His eyes were very sharp, and in the dark, he saw the cigarette under Qu Sen's nose at a glance.
None of the soldiers dared to bring cigarettes when they were out on a mission. However, Qu Sen was directly dragged from the canteen by An Jingzhe, and the cigarette in his pocket was also taken out.
An Jingzhe was a smoker himself. Coupled with the sneaky looks of the soldiers, he smiled and said, "Be careful when using fire. Destroy the corpse after the mission!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out and took away the cigarette under Qu Sen's nose.
"Do you have more? Do you have more?"
When the soldiers saw the situation, a few of them who were addicted to smoking immediately rushed to Qu Sen's side. Qu Sen had just taken out half a pack of cigarettes when the lighter in the cigarette box was snatched away in an instant.
There were more than thirty people with ten packs of cigarettes. It was obviously not enough for everyone, but everyone had a tacit understanding. Two to three people took turns smoking one cigarette. When they passed, they always curled the cigarette butt in their palms and used their fingers and palms to protect it.
An Jingzhe lit the cigarette and took two puffs "skillfully". Then, he passed the cigarette to Qu Sen and asked in a low voice, "There's still forty kilometers to go. Can you do it?"
Qu Sen took the cigarette and followed the soldiers' example. He curled the cigarette butt in his palm and took a deep breath. He exhaled and said, "No problem, little Cai 'er."
"Qu Sen, you're really ruthless. I didn't even have time to react and you've already taken down one of them." A team leader came over and took the cigarette butt from Qu Sen's hand. There was less than a third of it left. He sighed and said after taking a puff.
"Forget it. I was a little dazed at that time. I was watching from below and I subconsciously lit the fire. I only reacted when I was almost done shooting. Captain An, that douchebag, hadn't even given the order yet. "Qu Sen exhaled and said.
"How could I not have given the order? At that time, there were bullets all around me. My scalp was numb and I forgot to give the order." An Jingzhe had always said whatever was on his mind. He spoke the truth without hesitation.
"Commander, so you also know how to be afraid!" A soldier jeered.
"Nonsense, it's also my first time in actual combat. How can I not be dazed?" An Jingzhe said unhappily.
When the soldiers roared with laughter, someone said, "Our Instructor Qu is still the most ferocious."
"Instructor Qu is indeed ferocious. During the last exercise, he even fooled our commander."
"When?"
"How did he fool him?"
"Tell us, hurry up!"
A first rank sergeant from Team One was one of the unlucky ones who had been ambushed by Liu Feiban. After he "died", he saw Qu Sen holding the single soldier radio to fool An Jingzhe.
At that time, he was furious. Now that he was telling everyone about it, he was exultant. He also described An Jingzhe as extremely stupid. An Jingzhe was so angry that An Jingzhe slapped him on the back of his head.
The first rank sergeant had just shut up when the second team leader started talking about how Qu Sen had stood at the back of the train and fooled them with a Type 81 rifle during the "Storm" exercise. It made Qu Sen feel very awkward.
It couldn't be helped. Ever since "Tiger Down the Mountain" became a special forces team, they no longer directly selected soldiers from the new recruits. The ratio of officers and NCOs in the entire squadron had also greatly increased.
Therefore, even though it had all happened two to three years ago, there were still many people who had personally experienced it.
Out of the thirty or so people who were sent out this time, nine of them had experienced the two previous exercises. Even though An Jingzhe wasn't included, and there were only three people who had personally seen Qu Sen, all of them knew about Qu Sen's "glorious deeds" in detail.
It was only then that Qu Sen realized that he had a lot of "old acquaintances" in "Tiger Down the Mountain".
The twenty-minute break quickly passed by as everyone chatted and laughed. Not long after, the team set off again. For the remaining forty kilometers, they only took three short breaks. When it was almost three in the morning, everyone finally rushed back to the barracks.
After checking the inventory of the equipment, they went to the cafeteria to eat hot porridge and buns. After that, Qu Sen went to the bathhouse with everyone to take a shower. When the sun was about to rise, he went back to the dormitory with weak legs and laid down on his bed.
He really did lie down on his bed. As soon as his face touched the pillow, he instantly fell asleep.
He slept so soundly that he didn't even hear the call for lunch, let alone the wake-up call. It wasn't until Kou Hai came back from eating and placed the packed food on the table in Qu Sen's room that Qu Sen opened his eyes in a daze.
"Ah … Oh …"
Just as he was about to greet Kou Hai, all the muscles in his body ached at the same time. Qu Sen's words got stuck in his throat. At the same time, his mouth subconsciously made a series of moans that he couldn't get up.
"Your sleeping posture is very ecstatic!" Kou Hai made fun of him.
"Quick, help me up. I can't get up." Qu Sen's face twitched as he asked for help.
With Kou Hai's help, he finally got up from the bed. Just as he sat down and ate a mouthful of rice, there was a knock on the door.
