Chapter 240 Seriously Injured
"Right over there!"
The man pointed to the dense forest in the southeast direction and said, "I think I heard a snapping sound. It should be the sound of a trap."
These traps were specially made, except that the barbs on them are sharper than others.
When the splint is closed, there is a loud clicking sound.
"No, I heard nothing."
The person next to him immediately shook his head and said, "You may have not slept all night and are too nervous."
"No, I really heard it."
The man remained unmoved and was about to go over there with his gun. When he saw that his companion did not react, he turned back in surprise.
"What are you standing there for? Come on, let's go and take a look."
"No way, you really want to go?"
His companion frowned. He had been busy all night yesterday and was already extremely sleepy.
Can't he just rest quietly at the sentry post for a while?
He didn't understand. It would take several minutes to walk from here.
It was pitch dark in the dense forest, and the two of them didn't even know the exact location of the trap.
What effect can I have by going there?
He held back his anger and tried to persuade the man a few times, but the man was as stubborn as a rock and wouldn't listen at all. He insisted on going over to take a look no matter what he said.
His companions were helpless against this man. He guaranteed that if he didn't go today, this man would report him in front of his superiors tomorrow!
After more than ten minutes, the two stopped and walked forward to the trap area.
The man took out his night vision binoculars and looked deep into the dense forest for several minutes.
Seeing that he still wanted to go inside, his companions, who had been holding back their anger all night, could no longer hold back their anger.
"You can go in if you want. I'm not going any further."
"But according to the regulations..."
"No rules are as important as people coming. We only have one life."
"Don't forget that these traps in the woods are specially made."
"If you step on it, even if you don't die, you'll lose half your life!"
Seeing the man hesitate, his companion yawned, picked up the silencer in his hand, and fired at the area in front.
For a moment, the frightened animals in the woods ran around in panic.
The sound of snapping continued...
"You heard me? I told you, it's these little creatures in the woods."
"Let's go, our focus now is to keep an eye on the Chinese warships!"
The man didn't say anything else. He glanced into the depths of the dense forest and finally nodded. After the men walked away, Lu Jianchuan and the other two men followed quietly.
“Captain!”
Xiao Wen, the scout who was in charge of the front line, said in a low voice while trying to hold back tears.
"Wang Lei was caught in a trap and was hit by several bullets. He, he might..."
"Take me there."
Several people crawled over. At this time, Wang Lei was lying on the ground, biting the back of his hand tightly with his teeth, and beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead.
grass! It really hurts when this bullet hits my body.
"Captain... Captain, I'm... I'm not..."
What he wanted to say was that he had betrayed the captain's trust and had failed at this critical moment.
Lu Jianchuan held up half of Wang Lei's body, his eyes were sore.
"Don't talk! Save your energy, you're already great."
If he and Xiaowen hadn't been clearing the obstacles in front, more than half of their people would have been killed before they even got through the dense forest.
"Just bear with it for a while. I'll help you open the trap first."
Wang Lei wanted to say no, he knew very well that he would not live long in his current condition.
"group……"
"Shut up!"
Lu Jianchuan growled. He was the one who brought these people out, and he had to bring them back safely no matter what.
"Where did I put the medicine I gave you before?"
When he was counting the troops on the island two hours ago, Lu Jianchuan divided the medicine powder that Lin Siqiao gave him into 20 small packets, one for each person.
"here……"
Wang Lei pointed to the cloth bag hanging around his neck. In addition to the medicine powder given by Lu Jianchuan, there was also a one-inch photo, which was their family portrait.
"Open your mouth."
Lu Jianchuan took out the powder and poured the whole bag into his mouth.
"Think about your family, and then think about your unfulfilled wishes."
"Are you willing to just accept your fate?"
Maybe Lu Jianchuan’s words irritated him, or maybe it was the psychological effect of taking the hemostatic drugs.
Wang Lei suddenly felt that the pain in his body was not as severe as before.
He nodded.
"I haven't killed a single enemy yet... Captain, you died just like that... I can't accept this..."
"It's okay if you're unwilling. As long as you're still alive, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them in the future.
"Hold on! No one is allowed to give up until the last moment!"
"Okay... Captain, I'm ready, you can do it."
Wang Lei was breathing heavily, and Xiao Wen put his arm to Wang Lei's mouth without saying a word.
"If it hurts, just bite me. I'm made of tough flesh, so I'm not afraid."
"Bite, quick!"
Hearing this, Wang Lei was choked with sobs and couldn't utter a word. He didn't cry when he was shot, but he was made to cry by his brothers' words.
"Hold on!"
Lu Jianchuan held the trap tightly with both hands and kept pushing it outwards.
Wang Lei groaned several times. He didn't dare to bite his brother's arm hard, but just stood up and endured it.
Lu Jianchuan took out a few pieces of clean gauze from his backpack, and also took out the bag of hemostatic medicine from his body.
Soldiers never go on a mission without getting injured, and no one knows how to bandage wounds better than them.
"Except for the wound on the ankle, how many times did he get shot in the body?"
"Three, three shots. Two in the left shoulder, and... in the right leg..."
The location where he was shot was determined, but nothing could be seen clearly in the dense forest, so there was no way to remove the bullet for him.
Lu Jianchuan could only apply hemostatic powder and bandage all the wounds with gauze.
"Xiao Wen, you will carry Wang Lei on your back later. The boat is hidden behind the reef."
"If we haven't come out in two hours, you can take him and go meet up with the main force."
"Captain, can you send someone else?"
Xiao Wen glanced ahead and said, "There are a lot of traps in the forest, and there is still half of the road ahead that has not been explored."
"Just let me explore the rest of the way. I promise I'll be more careful."
"Need not."
Lu Jianchuan shook his head. The environment of Linjiao Island was complex. The weeds on the ground were half a meter high, and the enemy's traps were extremely well hidden.
In this situation, even if the scouts had 10 pairs of eyes, they would not be able to clear all the obstacles without getting hurt.
Since there is no road on the ground, we can only...
After Lu Jianchuan thought for a few seconds, he came up with an idea.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp"
A moment later, a special bird song was heard in the woods, and the other soldiers who received the secret order also gathered together as quickly as possible.
Everyone followed Lu Jianchuan's instructions, took out the military ropes from their backpacks, and tied them together.
With this extra-long rope, Lu Jianchuan climbed up the tree and tied the rope to the highest point.
The distance between trees in the original dense forest is obviously much denser than that in the inland. It is for this reason that Lu Jianchuan can use a tree as a springboard and easily jump from one tree to another.
More than ten minutes later, Lu Jianchuan returned to his original place.
Following his order, all the soldiers climbed up the trees one by one and slid quickly along the ropes into the depths of the jungle.
After landing on the ground, everyone dispersed.
In the center of the island is a simple wooden building. There is a dim light on the second floor, but the first floor is pitch black and nothing can be seen clearly.
There are patrols in front and behind, with eight people in each team.
Next to the wooden building is a sentry post, and from afar you can see a figure walking around inside.
There are two rows of tents behind the wooden building.
That's all they can observe so far.
Lu Jianchuan glanced at the time and did not rush to take action. With fewer people than the enemy, there was no need to engage in a head-on confrontation unless it was absolutely necessary.
Time passed second by second, and just when the patience of all the soldiers was almost exhausted.
Someone from the patrol team was jogging towards the dense forest.
“Shh…shh…”
As soon as the man’s belt loosened, his mouth was covered by someone from behind.
After the bayonet drew a semicircle along the man's neck, the man fell directly into Lu Jianchuan's arms.
A few minutes later, Lu Jianchuan, dressed in new clothes, pressed down the military cap on his head.
With his head lowered, he quietly blended into the patrol team.
“…”
The others' eyes lit up when they saw it, and they immediately had an idea.
