Responsible for the pursuit were the first platoon of the guard platoon and two platoons of the reconnaissance company.

Currently, it is under the unified command of Duan Xianyang, the platoon leader of the guard platoon.

After receiving the order from the regiment headquarters, Duan Xianyang immediately rushed to Area 8 with the other two platoons.

Soon, they found traces in a patch of grass.

Duan Xianyang squatted down and saw bloodstains and trampled marks on the grass.

Judging from the footprints, the number of the other party should be around 6 people, a standard reconnaissance team.

And in front of them was the primeval forest.

Duan Xianyang immediately said, "They should have entered the forest from here."

"The enemy is also a scout, everyone must be careful."

"Everyone, spread out into a three-man battle formation and keep chasing."

As the guard platoon leader, Duan Xianyang knew that this pursuit mission was extremely difficult.

First of all, the other party is also a scout like them, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Moreover, this is a primeval forest with high mountains, dense forests and an extremely complex environment.

It may be pitch dark in the primeval forest even during the day, let alone at night.

If you rush in without any deployment, you might be caught off guard by the enemy's rearguard.

That's why he ordered the pursuers to disperse and form groups of three.

This is the classic three-three formation.

The advantage of this formation is that everyone in the group can cover each other, and different groups can also cover each other.

In this way, the soldiers responsible for the pursuit were immediately divided into several groups.

Advancing towards the primeval forest in a search formation.

However, just as we entered the forest.

A young soldier did not notice the transparent fishing line under his feet.

After he touched the fishing line, there was a crisp "ding" sound.

The experienced veteran beside him immediately realized that it was the sound of the grenade pull ring popping out.

"Grenade, lie down..."

The veteran rushed forward, knocked the recruit to the ground, and rolled on the spot.

Almost at the same time, a grenade rolled out from the grass nearby.

"boom"

In an instant, the grenade exploded.

"Is everything okay?"

The comrades next to them immediately came over and helped the two of them up.

The veteran shook the dirt off his helmet.

"Fortunately, I was rescued in time. I'm fine."

"What about you?"

The new recruit also got up from the ground and said with some lingering fear:

"I'm fine, too."

Fortunately, Duan Xianyang made arrangements in advance to form a three-three formation and disperse the pursuit.

If the distance was too close, the explosion would probably cause casualties.

Although it was a close call, it still made everyone realize that the other group was not simple.

They were able to think of setting booby traps while escaping, which shows that they have extremely strong psychological qualities.

Duan Xianyang then ordered:

"Everyone, pay attention to the branches under your feet and beside you, and keep chasing."

It has to be said that the opponent's action did greatly delay the pursuit speed.

……

Within the headquarters.

Shen Junzhuang stared at the map on the electronic display screen while his brain was thinking rapidly.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Old Yu, you said that group of people just now took the risk to send a message. Did they want their people to meet them at the border?"

"According to intelligence, the troops currently stationed across the way are the 1st Jungle Division, known as the most elite of the Lotus Nation Army."

Yu Guangsheng responded, "It's not impossible. Why don't we contact the Second Battalion and have them prepare for a conflict?"

Shen Junzhuang nodded.

"By the way, why didn't Chief of Staff Qi come over? How could he sleep with such a big commotion?"

"Staff Officer Zhang, go get Staff Officer Qi."

"Yes……"

The staff officer on duty ran out immediately.

Shen Junzhuang said to Guangsheng:

"I think this Staff Officer Qi is no ordinary person. He is not only smart but also thoughtful."

"Call him over to help us with some advice."

Yu Guangsheng responded with a smile:

"Yes, this Staff Officer Qi is no ordinary person."

After a while, Staff Officer Zhang, who had gone to call for help, ran back.

"Report to the commander, Staff Officer Qi is not in his tent."

"I asked the soldiers on patrol, and they all said they hadn't seen him."

"not here?"

Hearing this, Shen Junzhuang was a little confused.

"Where can he run to at this time?"

"Did you go to the bathroom?"

Staff Officer Zhang shook his head.

"Captain, no, I've looked everywhere, but no one has seen it."

Yu Guangsheng on the side said, "That's strange. A living person is missing?"

Shen Junzhuang also frowned, and suddenly he seemed to think of something.

"Let's go check out his tent."

After saying that, he immediately walked out.

Yu Guangsheng didn't react and didn't know what he was thinking about, so he quickly followed.

The two came to Qi Tongwei's tent.

I saw that the quilt was neatly folded, with no signs of having been slept in at all.

Seeing this scene, Shen Junzhuang slapped his thigh.

"broken……"

"What's wrong, Old Shen?"

Yu Guangsheng still looked puzzled.

Shen Junzhuang quickly returned to the headquarters and said:

"Old Yu, this is troublesome. I think I know where Chief of Staff Qi went."

Hearing this, Yu Guangsheng thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

Then he said with a look of shock: "Old Shen... no way?"

"You mean, he went on reconnaissance with the acting company commander?"

"No, why didn't the acting company commander report such a big thing to you?"

Yu Guangsheng put his hands on his hips and started complaining.

"He's a weapons developer, not a scout, so why would he join in all this fun?"

"This is a military operation, not a child's game. Seriously, it's all just nonsense."

Shen Junzhuang sat down on the chair and said:

"You don't understand Chief of Staff Qi, but I do."

"He is bolder than the sky, and he will do what he decides to do."

"Before, I didn't let him come with me, so he called Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhou directly. What can I do?"

Yu Guangsheng sighed helplessly.

Then he said, "Old Shen, quickly contact the acting company commander and ask about the situation."

"If Staff Officer Qi is really with him, I think it would be best to cancel their mission."

"Think about it, even if we block them, there will definitely be a firefight."

"If something happens to Staff Officer Qi, it will be troublesome."

"Old Yu, what you said makes sense."

After listening to Yu Guangsheng's words, Shen Junzhuang also felt that Qi Tongwei's safety was more important.

His superiors had previously warned him to ensure Qi Tongwei's safety at all costs.

But he never expected that Qi Tongwei was so restless.

Although he was somewhat unwilling to let the Lotus Kingdom scouts go, there was nothing he could do. He could not take the risk.

"Alas...it's really a bargain for them."

After saying that, he came to the radio station.

"Call Dai Zhihao for me."

"Yes."

The signalman responded and immediately started calling.

"Acting Company Commander, Acting Company Commander, this is the regimental headquarters. Please reply if you receive this."

"Acting Company Commander, this is the regimental headquarters. Please reply immediately."
