Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Exchange Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Exchange “Captain, the leader is asking for you to take a phone call.”
Fu Zi reported to An Zhiyuan.
“Oh,” An Zhiyuan acknowledged and hurriedly walked toward the tent. Although he carried a portable radio with him, he always felt uncomfortable using it since it was his first ti in this area.
Picking up the phone, the leader Zhao Xin was already speaking on the line.
“We’ve received an urgent order from our superiors. You must take up your defensive positions on ti tonight and be extra vigilant. Moreover, your team must be divided into several areas, breaking the whole into parts, lest the line be too long. Form individual posts based on small units.”
After hanging up the phone, An Zhiyuan left to call a eting with the cadre and above.
“Comrades, the situation ahead is much more complicated than we anticipated; therefore, everyone must be extra vigilant. The mission for our team is now clear: five locations. Looking at the map, three of these places are quite far, and one almost requires climbing a mountain without any paths. Following the superior leaders’ advice, I’m going to divide everyone into five teams now. I, the deputy captain, and the leaders of the first, second, and third small teams will each take a team. We’ll set out under the cover of darkness to relieve our comrades who are already there.”
“The deputy leader of the small team will stay behind to take charge of the logistics support. Whether we’ll have food to eat or weapons to use depends on you all.”
“We need to complete the handover with the brotherly units before dawn tomorrow. It’s dayti now, so everyone get your equipnt in order and rest up. As soon as it gets dark, we will depart,” An Zhiyuan finished saying, and everyone imdiately sprang into action.
The deputy captain nodded, “Due to the urgent and heavy task, we’ll skip the mobilization eting. Everyone should go back and pass on the ssage. At this critical mont, you must all display the advanced role of Party mbers, be fully prepared in spirit, and ready for mountain climbing and fording streams.”
After dinner, those who were ant to go up the mountain had made their preparations. Not only were his own team mbers nervous, but it was also his first ti heading to the front, and he was extrely tense, especially since they didn’t know what the place they were heading to looked like.
While training in the team is one thing, confronting the actual scene is quite another.
At this mont, everyone didn’t know exactly what they should do.
All they felt was tension.
An Zhiyuan had already tied his leggings securely. Everyone was wrapped up in their own thoughts, unsure whether they wished for night to fall quickly or for it never to co.
Unfortunately, no one could change the laws of nature to suit their will.
Still, night fell slowly until it was so dark that you couldn’t see your own hand in front of you.
An Zhiyuan had already set off with his team. The place they were headed to was a farther location. They had calculated that, if they wanted to leave enough ti for the comrades in the friendly unit to descend, they had at most three to four hours to make it. On the way, not a single minute could be wasted, and there was no room for errors at any point.
An Zhiyuan felt a heavy weight in his heart. The previous captain had briefed him that, although there had been no major frictions in the past year, there were constant minor ones. There had been significant casualties on their border defense positions—Captains, deputy captains, and small team leaders had all made sacrifices. Now that they were replenished, it signified that their mission was arduous.
The team mbers, in addition to their backpacks and weapons, each carried compressed biscuit tins, canned food, and other provisions, with each person bearing a load of over 40 kilograms. It was strenuous to walk carrying so much, let alone now that they had to climb a mountain.
It was fortunate that the team mbers’ regular training had never slackened.
