Chapter 93 Dad knows where the Blue Army’s headquarters is!
The sound of cars on the national highway gradually faded away, but the chirping of various insects and frogs became clearer.
Guo Yuanshuai and his three companions walked through a forest of chestnut trees as thick as waists, moving up along the mountain.
Just now at the foot of the mountain, the four of them observed for a while the intersection where the Blue Army had set up a checkpoint. Sure enough, any vehicle was stopped by them, and some were even turned back.
This made Guo Yuanshuai feel that the Blue Army's headquarters might really be in this mountain.
The forest wasn't very dense, and the moonlight filtering through the gaps above provided enough brightness to avoid the need for a flashlight.
"A-choo!"
Niu San, who was walking in front, sneezed first and cursed, "What the hell! What's that smell in here? Are there ten thousand people masturbating in here?"
Li Dongshui frowned and pulled up his headscarf to cover his mouth and nose.
Xu Ge sniffed, and an extremely strong, strange, fishy and astringent smell rushed into his nostrils, almost choking him.
No wonder Niu Sanxian said that, this smell... is truly evil.
Looking up, I saw that the century-old chestnut trees were covered with long, pale yellow flowers.
Guo Yuanshuai casually picked one, sniffed it, and said with a smile, "Don't be disgusted by the smell. Chestnut flowers are a good medicine and can also repel mosquitoes. After walking for so long, have any of you been bitten by mosquitoes?"
"Huh? It's true!"
Niu Sanxian was surprised. "I was wondering why it was so comfortable to walk tonight. There wasn't even a mosquito!"
Early summer is the time when mosquitoes are rampant, especially in the mountains and forests.
The amazing thing is that there are really no mosquitoes in this chestnut forest.
Everyone immediately stopped finding the smell offensive.
After walking for nearly an hour, Li Dongshui, who was in charge of communication, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and took a look, then said:
"Deputy Squad Leader, Su Liujun and his team came across a ranger's house in the mountains. The light was still on inside, and he asked if they should go and ask the locals."
"no!"
Guo Yuanshuai immediately shook his head. "This is the Blue Army's territory. Don't expose yourself without getting any information. Let them avoid being discovered by their fellow villagers!"
"yes!"
According to the marked positions sent back by another group of four, their speed was obviously faster than this side.
There was no way around it, Guo Yuanshuai already had a waist injury, which was why the route the four of them were responsible for patrolling was shorter.
He had already missed a physical therapy session since coming to the training camp. Last time, before Lin Wan left, he left a few plasters for Guo Yuanshuai.
Xu Ge and the veterans were originally against coming for reconnaissance this time, but they didn't know what the deputy squad leader said to the brigade commander on the phone, and finally he led the team here in person.
After 1 a.m., Niu Sanxian looked at Guo Yuanshuai's face and took the initiative to suggest resting on the spot.
We have already passed two hills, but have not found anything yet.
Guo Yuanshuai did not refuse and signaled everyone to eat some dry food to replenish their energy.
Xu Ge yawned violently as he sat down. Seeing the deputy squad leader looking at him twice, he immediately picked a chestnut flower and sniffed it a few times. The strong fishy smell made him wake up instantly.
Li Dongshui took out his 201 high-precision sniper rifle and put it aside, then he took out a round melon from his waist bag with a chuckle.
Guo Yuanshuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Damn it... You are really careless, didn't I tell you to leave the melons in the van?"
"I secretly hid the smallest one, class vice-president. I have never eaten this and I want to try it!" Li Dongshui began to act coquettishly.
Without saying a word, Xu Ge took out his claw knife and cut the melon into four pieces. Then he started to chew it without spitting out the seeds, swallowing them all into his stomach.
Li Dongshui said with disgust: "If you eat like this, tomorrow when you poop, these melon seeds will..."
"Shut up! Are you going to eat it or not? If not, give me your piece too!"
Li Dongshui stopped talking and lowered his head to concentrate on eating the melon.
Xu Ge took the map from Guo Yuanshuai's waist and looked at the four people's current location. "Deputy Squad Leader, at our speed, we probably won't be able to finish the journey in one night."
"Then I'll only sleep half a day tomorrow and continue walking faster in the afternoon."
"What if we search this entire mountain and still don't find the Blue Army's headquarters?"
Guo Yuanshuai wiped his hands and said, "Then continue to go to the county town, to Sanlihe, and to the east in the direction of Ruyang. No matter what, we must find it as soon as possible!"
. . .
. . .
The four of them spent the entire night traveling through this vast chestnut ecological zone, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the mountains.
By the early morning, everyone was too tired to even talk.
The birds chirped in the trees, as if mocking the futility of the people below.
Finding the command center is different from finding a person. If they are really nearby, you can detect any movement from a long distance away.
Combined with the information reported by another group of people, the eight of them have walked through more than half of the entire mountain area and have not found any clues so far.
At this point, everyone already had a vague prediction in their minds: the Blue Army's headquarters might not be here.
The four people's bodies were soaked with dew, and their clothes stuck to their bodies, which was extremely uncomfortable.
But even so, when Guo Yuanshuai found a suitable place to rest and signaled that they could take turns to rest, Xu Ge fell into a deep sleep in a second.
Guo Yuanshuai had guessed that Xu Ge must not have slept yesterday afternoon, so he assigned Xu Ge to the last shift.
Therefore, when Xu Ge was woken up by Niu Sanxian, it was already noon.
The clothes on my body have dried naturally, and the dazzling sunlight shines through the branches, making me dizzy.
"Wake everyone up at two o'clock."
Niu San said this first, then yawned and lay down under the tree.
Xu Ge had a good sleep and felt full of energy. He immediately stretched his body and walked around.
The nearly ten-hour mountain march last night was indeed tiring, but compared to the march on the northwestern plateau, the intensity was not even a little bit less.
As the sun continued to shine, the moisture on the ground began to evaporate. As the temperature in the forest rose, the scent of chestnut flowers became stronger under the influence of water vapor.
Xu Ge took out his phone and looked at the group message. Su Liujun and the other four were almost finishing another section of the route and were asking about the situation here.
Xu Ge replied a few words with his mobile phone. At this time, his eyes gradually adapted to the light in the forest. Suddenly, he felt something shaking in the front left of his peripheral vision.
At first he thought it was the wind blowing the leaves, but after he looked carefully for a while, his face changed drastically, and he quickly moved to the place where the other three people were resting, relying on the cover of the chestnut tree.
About seventy or eighty meters away, two figures in military uniforms were walking towards this side in the woods!
Fortunately, although the chestnut forest was not very dense, it was difficult to see clearly from a distance, so the two men did not notice Xu Ge just now.
This made his heart beat fast. Needless to say, it meant a lot to find people from the Blue Army here.
Xu Ge quickly came to the big tree where the three people were and patted them gently.
"Shhh!!!"
“Someone!”
Guo Yuanshuai was the first to react and covered Li Dongshui's mouth as he was about to speak.
Niu Sanxian subconsciously hid behind a tree and asked quietly, "Where are they? How many people are there?"
Xu Ge pointed and said, "50 meters away, two people in military uniforms!"
"Quick, spread out! Pick up the trash on the ground!"
Guo Yuanshuai immediately realized what this meant, "Everyone, stay away. Don't let them find you!"
The four of them quickly dispersed and hid behind a big tree.
Now we can only hope that these two people will not pass by the place where the four people rested before, otherwise if the other party is an experienced scout, they are likely to find traces on the ground.
This will inevitably arouse the opponent's vigilance, and then there will be no possibility of following the opponent and finding the Blue Army Command.
Under the nervous gaze of the four people, two figures came closer and closer.
Xu Ge had already heard the footsteps of two people, and quietly leaned out. Both men were fully armed, with their heads covered by turbans, and their faces could not be seen. The shorter one had a strange-shaped large gun on his back.
Um?
When Xu Ge saw the gun, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two people carefully and couldn't help feeling absurd.
I actually ran into Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong here?!
Not far away, the two men had already walked to the place where the four people had rested before.
I have to say that these two guys are worthy of being the elites who can participate in the Hidden Wolf selection. They discovered the traces left on the ground almost at the first time, and then hid behind the tree in an instant.
On the other side, Guo Yuanshuai was still gesturing to Niu Sanxian to prepare to flank him from the side, when Xu Ge walked out casually.
"Why are you two here?"
As soon as Xu Ge's voice came out, Li Dongshui, who had just raised the stone, was stunned where he was. Guo Yuanshuai and Niu Sanxian, who were groping behind the tree, also stopped.
"What the hell! Xu Ge?!"
Ao Xiang immediately came out from behind the tree and casually put a bayonet back into his waist. Wu Xiaoyong also threw away the short stick in his hand.
"Fuck!"
"What the hell?"
There was a huge panic in the woods. No one expected to meet here.
"I knew you guys would be among the six reconnaissance teams this time!" Ao Xiang grinned, "But I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, hahaha!"
Guo Yuanshuai came over and asked: "How did you find this place?"
Ao Xiang: "We first found our way to the vicinity of the county town. Xiaoyong bought a radio and modified it, then monitored the Blue Army all night. He deduced that this was one of the possible locations of the enemy's headquarters, so he came here to try his luck."
Guo Yuanshuai looked at Wu Xiaoyong in surprise: "Dude, you have this skill?"
Wu Xiaoyong smiled and said, "We've had special training in this area in our special investigation company, and I also like to study this myself."
"Then why are there only two of you? Where are the others?"
"The Blue Army's patrols in the county are very strict. The others have been arrested in order to cover up for the two of us!"
"How long have you been wandering in the mountains?"
"Most of the day!"
Guo Yuanshuai took out a map and said, "Show me where you have been."
Ao Xiang held out his hand: "We'll enter the mountain from here, and then follow... Hey, this is the line you drew!"
Everyone looked at each other.
The route taken by Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong was exactly the same as that Xu Ge and the other three were planning to take next.
"You didn't find anything?" Guo Yuanshuai asked.
Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong shook their heads.
"Dry!"
Niu San cursed first and looked at Guo Yuanshuai: "Deputy, what should we do now?"
In this way, it can be confirmed that the Blue Army Command is not in this mountain range.
Guo Yuanshuai asked, "Where are Su Liujun and the others?"
Xu Ge: "It has completed the route and is coming towards us."
"Let them meet up directly at the foot of the mountain!"
Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge and said, "Ge Bao, please help your father again. We need to go to the county town or the east."
"no problem!"
Xu Ge took out his cell phone and called his father, who answered almost instantly.
"Hahaha, I knew you still needed me, Old Xu, to take action!" Xu Zhijun was inexplicably excited on the phone. "Wait, I'll be there in half an hour!"
Since they met, Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong naturally followed the people from Class 9.
Everyone started walking down the mountain. The agreed place was the entrance to the ecological park where they met last night.
After meeting up with Su Liujun and the other three at the foot of the mountain, Xu Ge did not see Xu Zhijun and the van, so he took out his cell phone and called again.
"Dad, where have you been?"
"Hahaha! Xiao Ge, I know where the Blue Army's headquarters is!"
Everyone was shocked, and Xu Ge quickly asked, "Where is it?"
"It's inside the armed forces department in the county!" Xu Zhijun said excitedly and with certainty.
Xu Ge was stunned: "Dad, how did you know?"
"On my way here just now, I saw two soldiers walking on the road, so I deliberately stopped to ask them where they were going and if they wanted a ride. They said they were going to the station. I clearly wasn't going that way, but I said I was and let them get on the car."
Xu Zhijun said, "Son, do you know why Dad did this? I tell you, this is what an experienced detective does..."
"Dad, just get to the point!" Xu Ge was anxious.
"Okay, okay! Let's get to the point!" Xu Zhijun's voice sounded very excited. "I deliberately chatted with those two soldiers on the way and tried to get them to talk. I didn't expect that I actually found out the location of their headquarters!"
"Son! Is Dad awesome?"
"sharp!"
"Okay, I'm almost there, let's talk when we meet!"
After hanging up the phone, everyone was stunned.
"What the hell? We worked ourselves to death and wandered around in the mountains all night, but didn't even smell a single Blue Army member's fart. And Master Xu drove his car and found the headquarters just by the wind?" Niu Sanxian felt that happiness came too suddenly.
Ao Xiang sighed with emotion: "In the armed forces department in the county, the Blue Army really knows how to pick positions!"
Xu Ge looked at Guo Yuanshuai and said, "Deputy Squad Leader, should we report this to the regiment commander immediately?"
"No rush, the drill won't start until 12 o'clock tonight," Guo Yuanshuai said solemnly, "Let's go to the county town first to confirm it."
"good!"
Everyone continued to wait where they were.
About ten minutes later, a van drove in from the dirt road and honked its horn a few times.
"Brothers, get in the car! Hahaha!" Xu Zhijun acted like a veteran who had won a battle.
Xu Ge opened the passenger door, feeling both amused and helpless. "Dad, why are you calling us brothers? We're so different in generation...huh? That's not right!"
Smelling the smell coming from the passenger seat, Xu Ge's face suddenly changed: "We can't go to the county town!"
