Chapter 157

Like other officers and soldiers running for the election, the seven soldiers of the sharp knife reconnaissance company also rushed to the southwest with the crowd. In an instant, they collectively plunged into the dense primitive jungle without trace, as if they had never appeared.

All the way forward, the seven people continuously broke through the three lines of defense set by the bird brigade. After several rapid leaps and tumbling, they quickly became invisible in the primitive jungle with branches and shrubs. And other officers and soldiers who had been harassing around them also disappeared in twos and threes.

"Squad leader! How should we go on the next road? Or should we go straight along the southwest, follow the footsteps of others and take the nearest road?" After several tumbling and leaping forward, the seven people quickly gathered together again. Meng Lang immediately asked Xiao Yong.

"That's for sure!" Before Xiao Yong could answer, deputy monitor Ye Xiaochuan took over and saw him seriously say, "between two points, the straight line is the shortest. There is a straight road and a shortcut. Don't you take so many wronged roads for no reason?"

The second deputy fourth squad leader and the seventh squad leader immediately agreed with Ye Xiaochuan, saying that the time was tight, the road was long, and there was no logistics supply. Of course, the closer the road, the better! Otherwise, you will be half dead tired and exhausted. If you don't get it right, you will not be able to get to your destination even if you get down. In that way, the gain is not worth the loss.

Xiao Yong was a little embarrassed. He looked at other comrades in arms around him, then turned to Cheng Chong who didn't express any views, and asked, "Cheng Chong, what's your opinion? Do you think you should go straight along the southwest?"

When Cheng Chong saw the squad leader asking questions, he also turned to look at other comrades in arms around him and said his own views: "I think we can't go straight along the southeast direction. On the contrary, we should consciously bypass the road that goes straight to the southeast."

Hearing Cheng Chong's words, others were a little confused. They stared at him with curious eyes, waiting for him to announce some secret that had not been discovered by mankind.

"Tell me your reason!" But Xiao Yong's eyes lit up and asked Cheng Chong.

"The deputy squad leader is right! Between two points, the straight line is the shortest. Go straight to the southwest. Of course, it is the shortest distance. Walking is the most time-saving and labor-saving." Cheng Chong first affirmed the Deputy monitor's statement, and then the conversation changed, Seriously say: "However, not only do we understand this truth! Other officers and soldiers participating in the election also understand it. More importantly, those people in the bird brigade also understand it. Needless to say, they must have set up heavy troops and checkpoints on this road, where they wait for work and wait for us to go to the door by ourselves. It's even harder for us to pass smoothly on this road than to go to heaven."

"What do you mean, you don't want to take a detour?" Cheng Chong's words had just dropped. Ye Xiaochuan, who couldn't wait with his eyes wide open, lost no time to ask.

"Shut up! Can you wait for Cheng Chong to finish?" At the moment, Xiao Yong, as the monitor and the leader of the group, stared at Ye Xiaochuan, and then continued to ask Cheng Chong, "what do you mean, how should we go?"

"Just along the way, I paid close attention to the surrounding terrain." Cheng Chong ignored Ye Xiaochuan, deputy monitor, Instead, continue to say what you think: "On our right side, that is to say, in the west, there are many towering peaks with dangerous terrain, which were originally suitable for us to March. However, because there are many commanding heights, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack for the people of the bird brigade, they will certainly not give up these favorable terrain. They only need to send a small number of troops to occupy these commanding heights, which is enough to block all advance Road, so we can't go to the West. We won't touch that mildew. "

Speaking of this, Cheng Chong paused for a moment, looked up at other comrades in arms around him, and saw that everyone was still looking at him with curious eyes, He continued: "on our left, that is, in the south, the terrain here is low. Although the terrain is also dangerous, it is not conducive to the defense of the bird brigade. Moreover, there are many cliffs in the south. If it is difficult for us to break into the front, we can give full play to the advantages of our scouts and climb up and down from the cliffs. It is our scouts' specialty."

Seeing that everyone was still looking at himself with curious eyes, Cheng Chong smiled and said, "so, my opinion is that we should detour from the south. If we encounter the tight obstruction of the bird brigade, we will climb over or around the cliff."

"That, that -" seeing Cheng Chong's analysis, although it was justified, ye Xiaochuan was a little stunned at the moment, He stammered and retorted, "well, don't we have to go further? These more than 150 kilometers are enough for us. We're tired. You, you're not enough. You let us climb back and forth on the cliff for several rounds. What do you mean? What's your heart?"

Others also spoke one after another, but some of them agreed with Ye Xiaochuan and others agreed with Cheng Chong. None of them could convince anyone. It was difficult to compete with each other.

"Shut up, I think Cheng Chong is reasonable, because I think so!" Xiao Yong's face sank, his big hand waved and made a decision, say: "It's not very difficult to force an army of 150 kilometers in three days. The old generation's highest record of forcing an army is 120 kilometers a day and night, and it was completed under the siege of the enemy. We're 150 kilometers in three days, which is nothing at all! What's the fear of climbing back and forth on the cliff? It's not bad. During our daily training, Don't you climb less? Cheng Chong is right. We should give full play to the advantages of our scouts. Let's talk again! Practice is for war, otherwise why do we practice? "

Unwilling Ye Xiaochuan seemed to refute a few words. Xiao Yong saw him and ignored the decision. He made a decisive decision: "I has the final say, and I will keep all my opinions. Let's do what we say. We must go East first, and hurry up!"

After that, Xiao Yong took the lead, carrying a backpack and holding an Bayi rifle. He turned to the East and jumped out quickly. In an instant, he disappeared into the dense bushes more than ten meters away.

Cheng Chong and Meng Lang followed.

The remaining four people stayed where they were, looked at each other for a moment, sighed, shook their heads, and had to follow.

Sure enough, as Cheng Chong expected, most of the troops of the bird brigade were indeed set on and near the road directly to the southwest. Even those peaks or abrupt commanding heights in the West were also set up with a large number of fire points to tightly block the road.

Only in the south, due to the steep terrain and difficult roads, it is difficult to set effective obstacles, so only a few fire points are set up sparsely, which is a bit interesting.

On the road to the south, the seven soldiers of the sharp knife reconnaissance company walked very smoothly because they were not blocked by the bird brigade several times. Although the road is rugged and difficult, sometimes twists and turns, and sometimes constantly circling, it rarely stops for a long time to fight with each other. Naturally, there is no reduction in personnel.

Although the other four still have some opinions and dissatisfaction in their hearts, they can only reserve their opinions as Xiao Yong said, and then resolutely follow South. However, along the way, as Cheng Chong said, the other three people gradually agreed with the decision. Ye Xiaochuan was the only one, and he was still a little dissatisfied, but he had only one person, which could not influence the other six people at all, and only followed.

When approaching a cliff, Xiao Yong, who took the lead as a pioneer and leader, suddenly made a gesture. The other six people quickly understood, quickly fell down on the spot, and quickly shot around, looking highly nervous and alert to the wind and grass around.

"What's the matter? Monitor! What happened?" Meng Lang, who closely followed Xiao Yong, quietly explored the past and asked in a low voice.

"Look --" Xiao Yong didn't look back, but pointed to the front with his right hand, and then said, "there's something ahead. Look, it seems that something is hanging on the edge of the cliff. There may be someone."

Meng Lang took a closer look along the direction of the squad leader's finger. Sure enough, he found a large piece of camouflage cloth hanging on the edge of the cliff, and it was still falling slowly one by one. If it hadn't been hung on the branches on the edge of the cliff, I'm afraid it would have fallen.

It was a camouflage parachute bag made of chemical fiber cloth. Meng Lang, who was familiar with military products, was surprised: "monitor! That's a parachute. There must be another paratrooper hanging on the cliff. Come on! Let's go and save him."

After that, before Xiao Yong's reply, Meng Lang jumped out of his simple bunker and ran straight to the edge of the cliff with a parachute.

Xiao Yong was shocked at the speech and quickly arranged the fourth squad leader and the seventh squad leader to guard in place. The others followed Meng Lang and rushed to the edge of the cliff.

Meng Lang had just rushed to the edge of the cliff. Without a moment's delay, a fierce man rushed forward quickly, grabbed the parachute that was still falling, and quickly put an umbrella rope still hanging on the branch directly on himself, closely connecting himself with his comrades in arms hanging on the cliff.

This kind of sacrifice to save people is really unique and impressive.

At the moment, in order to save his comrades in arms, he can give up everything, including his most precious life.

Due to the momentum of a sudden jump forward and the weight of a paratrooper hanging under the parachute, when Meng Lang put the parachute rope around himself, he himself followed the parachute and slid down quickly and irresistibly.

The situation was extremely urgent and really critical.

Just as Meng Lang was about to fall off the cliff pulled by the parachute, Xiao Yong and Cheng Chong, who followed him, had no time to think about anything. They also rushed forward quickly, and one grabbed Meng Lang's leg, which barely stopped Meng Lang from falling down with the parachute.

Ye Xiaochuan and the second mate, who followed them, quickly pulled a rope from their backpacks, tied one end to a big tree on the edge of the cliff and the other to the parachute rope that had been set on Meng Lang.

In this way, the tragedy of nearly destroying the umbrella and killing people was temporarily controlled.

Xiao Yong, who came back to his senses, suddenly became angry. He shouted at Meng Lang and scolded, "Meng Lang, you're a bitch. You don't want to die. What do you want? Do you want us to die with you? Did you do that?"

"Squad leader! There's really someone down there! He's very dangerous now. We have to save him quickly." Meng Lang, who leaned out half of his body at the edge of the cliff, looked very clearly below the cliff. He ignored the scolding of the squad leader, but was concerned about the safety of his comrades in arms whose lives were hanging on the cliff.

Xiao Yong and the other three people were shocked again when they heard the speech. They leaned out their heads carefully and looked down. But for some reason, a paratrooper dressed in air force camouflage was with his head down, his legs up, his body twisted, like an upside down golden hook, hanging on the cliff, and his real life hung on the line.

It can be seen that the Paratrooper is suffering great pain and fear.

"Ah! Is this playing cliff jumping?" I don't want to. Seeing this situation, ye Xiaochuan smiled heartlessly and untimely: "but jumping off a cliff with a parachute is really an ancient anecdote! Is this performing performance art to all mankind with his own life?"

"Shut up! Save people!" Xiao Yong was furious immediately. For the first time, he shouted at the old comrade in arms without any mercy. Then, he ordered the other three people around him: "come on, take out all the ropes and save people!"

While quickly taking out the rope, Cheng Chong asked Xiao Yong, "monitor, how can we save him? I'm afraid it won't help to throw the rope down directly, because he is tied like a zongzi by his own umbrella rope. We must go down alone."

"Then I'll go down!" Under the emergency, the decisive Xiao Yong did not hesitate.

"No, you are the monitor, or the head of the seven brothers of our sharp knife reconnaissance company. You can't go down. Let me go down!" While talking, Cheng Chong still put his rope directly on himself. The other end has been firmly tied to the big tree and is about to jump off the cliff.

"Come on! Come and help Cheng Chong!" At the moment of emergency, Xiao Yong no longer babyish, but tied Cheng Chong's rope firmly again, then commanded others, and then loosely tied a rope to Cheng Chong, but the other end was also firmly tied to the big tree.

After completing this series of preparations, Cheng Chong slowly went down along the steep cliff
