Although Qu Sen had not received professional training as a scout, as the staff officer had said, he had experience operating in areas occupied by the Blue Team. Moreover, his brain was indeed quick to react and was suitable for dealing with all kinds of unexpected situations.
Hearing the staff officer's suggestion, the armored regiment commander's heart instantly moved. But after some consideration, if the predicted location was really the location where the Blue Team's missile unit was stationed, the surrounding security would be unusually tight. If Qu Sen went alone and encountered any situation, there would not be anyone to cover for him.
"Just send him alone?" Although the armored regiment commander used a question, his tone was obviously not very agreeable.
"Commander, I know that there is a soldier named Guan Yun in the air defense battalion. Like Qu Sen, he also participated in the 400-meter steeplechase event in the military region competition. Although he did not get into the top three, his results were also very good. The air defense battalion's field training intensity is very high, so it should not be a problem for the veteran named Guan Yun to scout, "the staff officer said.
The training significance of the 400-meter steeplechase was because it was the maximum range of mainstream automatic rifles in the world today. Once the infantry charged into this distance, they needed to overcome all obstacles to launch the charge and use the shortest time and fastest speed to break into the enemy's position.
At the same time, if the training results of the 400-meter steeplechase event were good, their movements would be faster and more agile when crossing complex terrain. For example, at this time, if they needed to quickly pass through the complex terrain such as the mountains and forests in the hilly area, soldiers with good results in the 400-meter steeplechase training would definitely have an easier time.
Hearing the staff officer's words, the armored regiment commander fell into a short period of silence as he constantly weighed the pros and cons in his heart. In the end, his "desire" for the blue missile unit finally suppressed the worry in his heart. He nodded and said to the messenger, "Go and find Qu Sen and the soldier named Guan Yun for me."
"Yes!" The messenger received the order and left.
About four minutes later, Qu Sen and Guan Yun entered the command vehicle one after the other.
"I have a mission for the two of you now." The armored regiment commander went straight to the point.
"We promise to complete the mission." Qu Sen and Guan Yun simultaneously whispered the "standard answer" that soldiers received orders from their superiors.
"Okay, the mission is like this …"
About ten minutes later, Qu Sen and Guan Yun came out of the command vehicle. After determining the direction, their figures quickly disappeared into the night.
The two of them already knew the target and location of the mission. The staff officer of the armored regiment also helped them plan the best route of action. Of course, this route could only guarantee that the two of them could avoid encountering Blues to the greatest extent and reach the closest route to the scouting location.
However, a plan was still a plan. The specific situation still depended on the two people's improvisation.
Another important thing was that the two of them had to complete their investigation and return before daybreak, preferably before three o 'clock in the morning. Otherwise, not only would the chances of being exposed increase after daybreak, but it would also be easy for the Blues Scouts who were carrying out anti-infiltration missions to follow them.
When Qu Sen and Guan Yun first set off, there were still many clouds floating in the sky. However, after running for a while, the wind blew and the clouds were unknowingly blown away. The cold moonlight shone down. Although it wasn't as bright as Fifteen's, it still made people feel a little nervous. It made Qu Sen feel that they would be seen from afar.
However, it was also good. Qu Sen and Guan Yun could use the moonlight to travel between the mountains, which greatly reduced the risk of being exposed by using a flashlight.
The whole journey was quite smooth. The two of them ran for more than ten kilometers according to the route that the staff officer of the armored regiment helped to design. Seeing that they were almost halfway there, Guan Yun was so tired that she whispered, "I can't go on anymore. Let's take a break."
It wasn't that Qu Sen's physique was much better than Guan Yun's, but since Guan Yun had been persevering, Qu Sen gritted his teeth and persevered no matter how tired he was. Therefore, when Guan Yun said that she wanted to rest, Qu Sen found a tree and sat down, leaning against it, gasping for breath.
Guan Yun moved two steps to the other side of the tree and sat down, leaning against the tree trunk as well. This way, she could cooperate with Qu Sen to observe the surrounding situation, in case the Blue Team's anti-infiltration team sneaked up behind them without them knowing.
Because the sound of the two of them running had scared the nearby grass and insects into silence, the sound of their heavy breathing was particularly clear in the darkness. A gust of wind blew past, and the leaves and grass began to sway silently. Coupled with the pale moonlight shining through the branches above their heads, it gave off a slightly creepy feeling.
"Old Guan, how far have we run?" Qu Sen asked Guan Yun in a low voice after gasping for air for a while and finally recovered.
Because the anti-air missile team of the anti-air force often had to split up to carry out anti-air missions, Guan Yun's field experience was much more than Qu Sen's. Using the moonlight, she observed the height of the surrounding mountains and had an idea in her heart. She answered softly, "We're more than halfway there. The tallest mountain in the distance is the summit of the mountain. We'll be there soon after going around it."
Qu Sen looked in the direction Guan Yun was pointing at. In the distance, they could vaguely see the outline of a mountain. Although it didn't seem that far, as the old saying goes, "Looking at a mountain is like running a horse to death." If they really ran there, it would take them at least five or six kilometers.
At this time, the surrounding grass and insects might have discovered the two "big things" that had caused the commotion earlier, but they didn't seem to be in any danger. After a grasshopper began to rub its wings vigorously, all kinds of chirps, big and small, became louder and louder. The originally silent mountain forest seemed to have suddenly become lively.
"Let's go. The more we rest, the more tired we'll be." Guan Yun opened the water bottle and took two gulps. Then, he got up and set off again.
Qu Sen naturally swung his legs and followed closely behind him.
They covered nearly five kilometers of mountain roads in one breath. Qu Sen's clothes were already soaked in sweat. He felt the heat from his body rushing to his head. As he panted, his throat felt like it was spitting fire. His legs felt like they were filled with lead. Just when he couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to tell Guan Yun to rest for a while, Guan Yun suddenly slowed down.
After Qu Sen caught up, Guan Yun stood there with his hands on his knees. After catching his breath for a long time, he said, "We're almost there. We have to be careful on the road ahead. If the place we're investigating is really the Blue Team's missile base, the sentries will definitely be placed very far away. "
"Old Guan, the moon is so bright. If we go to the top of the mountain, do you think we can directly see the target's location?" Qu Sen raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain as he voiced his thoughts.
Before the two of them set off, it was still cloudy outside. The armored regiment didn't have night vision binoculars. Thus, the plan the staff officers gave them was to get as close as possible to investigate.
But now that the moon was so bright, Qu Sen estimated that if they went to the top of the mountain, with the binoculars on Guan Yun's neck, they should be able to investigate from a long distance. After all, the missile launcher was very obvious. As long as they could see its silhouette from afar, they would be able to confirm it.
"That's about right." Guan Yun recalled the map in his mind. When he found that there were no obstacles between the top of the mountain and the scouting position, he nodded his head.
Since there was a chance to investigate from a long distance and reduce the risk of being exposed, the two of them naturally chose this less risky method. Thus, the original plan of going around the mountain became going up the mountain.
