Platoon leader Duan Xianyang ordered his men to form groups of three and they were searching and advancing.

As they advanced, they set up several booby traps made from grenades.

Although no casualties were caused, the advance was greatly delayed.

At this time, the squad leader of the first squad of the guard platoon who was walking in the front came over to report:

"Reporting to the platoon leader, we found traces of people walking ahead, and we also found dripping blood on the ground."

Duan Xianyang walked over and saw that the vegetation on the ground had traces of being cut by a machete.

Moreover, the dead leaves on the ground showed signs of being trampled.

Although it was covered artificially, the covering was very random.

"It seems that the direction we should pursue is correct. They are running in this direction."

As he spoke, Duan Xianyang picked up the bloodstains on the ground. They were not yet dry, which meant that they had just been there not long ago, half an hour at most.

Based on these details, Duan Xianyang judged that the other party was probably in a hurry to escape and had no intention of setting an ambush.

At the same time, judging by their number, they should have run out of grenades.

At this time, the operator carrying a personal radio ran over.

"Report to the platoon leader, the regimental headquarters just sent instructions."

"They say the acting company commander is leading a reconnaissance team on their way to the 506 border, preparing to block the enemy."

"The regimental commander told us to speed up and attack from both sides with the acting company commander."

"Great."

Hearing this, Duan Xianyang became excited.

Said to the operator: "Reply to the regiment headquarters and ensure that the mission is completed."

Then he ordered, "Everyone, speed up and follow the acting company commander to take care of these bastards."

After saying that, he took the lead and ran forward.

The others maintained a formation of threes and followed quickly.

……

The 1st Lianfang Jungle Division was currently deployed on the mountain behind the No. 500 River Valley.

Lian Fang called this mountain the Mountain of Honor.

This Mountain of Honor is their bridgehead for confrontation with the Xia Kingdom and an important position.

On the mountain opposite them was the position of the 2nd Battalion of Xia Fang's Tiger Regiment.

The two mountains are separated by a 300-meter-wide valley.

At this time, the Jungle 1st Division, known as the elite of Lianfang, was deployed on this mountain.

There are various bunkers and fortifications of all sizes built by them on the mountain.

Large-caliber howitzers are also deployed on the reverse slope on the back of the hillside.

late at night.

In the headquarters of the 1st Jungle Division, a thin man was standing in front of a map with a frown on his face.

He is the commander of the 1st Jungle Division, Major General Wu Yuankai.

Wu Yuankai's eyes were fixed on the area circled in red on the map.

This place is where his son led the team to scout this time.

A river valley in Xiafang, only 15 kilometers away from the border line.

Standing next to him was Pan Liwen, Chief of Staff of the 1st Jungle Division.

"Commander, you are thinking about Captain Wu and the others, right?"

Wu Yuankai's eyes did not move. He knew that although the straight-line distance was only 15 kilometers.

But this is the straight-line distance, and they cannot go there openly for cross-border reconnaissance.

So you have to walk dozens of kilometers of mountain roads in a circle.

Wu Yuankai responded: "According to the time, they should have arrived by now."

Pan Liwen said: "Yes, Commander, judging by the time, we have arrived."

"Is there any news about the reconnaissance team now?"

Wu Yuankai then asked:

"Not yet, Master."

After Pan Liwen responded, he continued to comfort:

"Captain Wu is very capable. He's a reconnaissance captain at such a young age, and he's also trained at the best military academy in the world."

"The people we brought with us on this reconnaissance mission are also the elites of our 1st Jungle Division."

"And the equipment was all provided by the US, and it's the most advanced equipment in the world."

"So, Commander, don't worry. Captain Wu will definitely complete the mission brilliantly."

After hearing Pan Liwen's words, Wu Yuankai nodded.

It stands to reason that this cross-border reconnaissance was intended to be a surprise operation.

So Xia Fang shouldn't notice it.

This reconnaissance was of vital importance to their 1st Jungle Division.

The Tiger Regiment on the opposite side is their old rival, and has caused their Lianfang troops to suffer a lot of losses.

This time, the military transferred their Jungle Division 1 here largely to deal with the Tiger Regiment.

If this reconnaissance can determine the location of the Tiger Regiment's headquarters.

Then once the conflict begins, he can use his artillery to directly destroy the enemy's headquarters.

In this way, the reputation of their Jungle Division 1 will become more famous in the entire Lian Kingdom military.

As the division commander, he has more say in the military, which will help him accumulate capital for the future.

And his son Wu Guangming will also have better development in the army in the future because of his meritorious service in reconnaissance.

But I don't know why.

He had been feeling somewhat uneasy ever since his son led the team out.

Although it was late at night, he still stood in front of the map waiting for news from the reconnaissance team.

Just then, a lieutenant rushed in.

"Report to the division commander, Captain Wu's reconnaissance team has sent a message."

As he spoke, he handed over the paper with the telegram written on it with both hands.

Hearing this, Wu Yuankai turned around immediately.

He took two or three steps and walked up to the lieutenant, then took the telegram.

After taking a quick look, his expression changed immediately.

At this time, Pan Liwen noticed that his face looked wrong and immediately walked over.

"What's wrong, Commander?"

Wu Wenkai handed the telegram over, and Pan Liwen was shocked when he saw it.

"Captain Wu and the others have been exposed?"

What are you afraid of?

Wu Yuankai was always worried that the reconnaissance team would be exposed.

After all, this is cross-border reconnaissance, and being exposed means death.

This is different from a confrontation on the border. Before the relationship breaks down completely, both sides will take into account the international impact and no one will go too far.

But cross-border reconnaissance is different, it is not justified in itself.

So even if the other party wants to kill you, you can only suffer in silence.

Pan Liwen immediately reacted and said:

"Commander, Captain Wu said in the telegram that they are retreating, which means they have not been caught up."

"He asked you to send someone immediately to the border of Area 506 to meet him."

"Commander, I will take the division's mobile battalion to the 506th border line immediately and be ready to assist Captain Wu at any time."

Wu Yuankai was extremely anxious at this moment.

Wu Guangming is his only son, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

In addition, if the reconnaissance team was captured or killed by the Xia State, the Xia side would definitely make a big fuss about it.

By then, Lian Fang will be in a passive position in international public opinion.

At that time, he, as the division commander, will definitely bear the main responsibility.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuankai had no time to hesitate.

He immediately said to Pan Liwen: "Chief of Staff Pan, I will lead the people there myself, you stay at the division headquarters."

"Also, order a regiment to conduct a feint in the river valley to attract the attention of the enemy border defense battalion."

"Prevent them from sending troops to reinforce Border Line 506."

When Pan Liwen heard this, he immediately said:

"But Commander Wu, it won't work if you're not here..."

"No need to say more, I have already made up my mind."

Wu Yuankai raised his hand and interrupted him.

Then he shouted: "Order the mobile battalion to assemble immediately."
