Chapter 3: The Sound of Gunshots


Hu Zhijun put his left foot in front and his right foot behind.

His whole body was like a bow that was drawn and ready to fire.

He loaded the gun quickly, then moved his body with his right foot as the center to alert the surroundings.

The second person to react was Gudamai, who had his Bayi Bar next to him.

He also quickly picked up the gun and walked out of the tent.

He and Hu Zhijun raised the gun in the same posture and pointed at the other end.

The two formed a cross-fighting state. , looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Su Yichen and Wan Changchun, who didn't know what was going on, were all stunned.

"Old Hu" Wan Changchun poked his head out of the tent and was about to ask what was going on.

Hu Zhijun pressed his hands towards them, indicating that they should hide in the tent and not get up.

At the same time, he was alert to the surroundings, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand kept moving. , seems to be looking for some target.

Ten seconds passed in an instant, and the surroundings seemed no different from before.

It was still quiet.

Except for the sound of wind and the faint sound of animals chirping intermittently, there was nothing unusual at all.

Just when Su Yichen thought that Hu Zhijun and the others were making a fuss, suddenly there was another slight crisp sound.

At this time, both Hu Zhijun and Gudamai pointed their guns in that direction at the same time.

"The gunshot is 56 and a half gunshots," Hu Zhijun whispered.

This time, because he was prepared, he was sure that it was indeed a gunshot, and it was fired from a 56 and a half rifle.

Judging from the distance of the gunfire and the direction of the wind, the shooting location was about 3 kilometers away from them.

After confirming the direction and approximate distance of the shooting, Hu Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the place where the shooting was fired was far away from them, which meant that it did not pose a threat to them for the time being.

However, Hu Zhijun did not relax his vigilance at all.

He asked Guda Mai to continue to be vigilant, then stood up and looked at the place where the gunshots were fired and frowned.

"What is a gunshot?"

Su Yichen was startled.

Why was there a sudden gunshot on the grassland?

Could it be that nearby herdsmen were hunting?

"This is impossible," Hu Zhijun said with certainty: "The herdsmen all use shotguns, and they will not hunt at this time.

Only the army and militia have the equipment.

It is impossible for ordinary herdsmen to have it."

"Could it be a comrade from another army who fired the shot?"

Wan Changchun asked, pushing up his glasses.

Hu Zhijun also denied this speculation, because as far as he knew, there were no troops stationed in the direction of the gunfire, not to mention that the 781 Base was still far away from this place.

As an officer of the guard camp, Hu Zhijun knew very well about this base.

They were the only people who came out, so there was no way it was comrades from the base who fired the shots.

If these two speculations are denied, then there are only the last two possibilities.

One is the shooting by poachers roaming the grasslands, and the other is the shooting by hostile forces sneaking into the border.

Judging from the current situation, the former is more likely, and of course the possibility of the latter is not ruled out.

But no matter what the reason was, Hu Zhijun decided that he had to go and have a closer look to ensure the safety of experts and the absolute confidentiality of Base 781.

"Lao Wan, Xiao Su, please stay here for the time being and don't move, Gudamai."

"Arrived" Gudamai quickly replied in a low voice.

"You have to do a good job of guarding and ensure the safety of Lao Wan and Xiao Su.

I'll go over first to get a feel for the situation."

After saying that, Hu Zhijun put the pistol back into the holster, stood up and walked quickly to the 212 jeep, took out the other Bayi bar from the car, pulled the gun bolt and quickly checked the chamber, preparing to go alone.

Do recon.

"Lao Hu, let's go with you."

Seeing that Hu Zhijun planned to go alone, Wan Changchun said hurriedly: "It's too dangerous for you to be alone.

What if there is a problem and there is no one to cooperate?"

"No," Hu Zhijun vetoed without thinking: "You are experts.

My mission is to ensure that you are safe and arrive at the base.

I must not let you be in danger."

"But what if you are in danger?"

Su Yichen said anxiously from the side: "We really can't let Gudamai go with you.

Two people are safer than one.

Teacher Wan and I are waiting for you at the camp."

"I agree with this suggestion," Wan Changchun agreed.

Hu Zhijun still shook his head resolutely: "Stop arguing.

I am responsible for the safety work.

If I say no, I will stop talking.

I have a small goal alone.

I just went to see the situation and will be back soon."

After saying that, Hu Zhijun made a gesture to Gudamai, then half-hunched his waist and ran as fast as a cheetah in the direction of the gunshot.

In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared in the dark night.

"Don't worry, our platoon leader is the third runner-up in the army competition.

He is very skilled."

Seeing Su Yichen and Wan Changchun looking at the direction Hu Zhijun left with worried faces, Gudamai smiled with his white teeth.

He took out the shovel he carried with him and put out the bonfire.

Except for a flashlight hanging in the tent, the surroundings suddenly became dark.

"Why did Old Hu come back after putting out the fire?"

Su Yichen was a little confused about Gudamai's actions, but Gudamai told him that the fire was put out to ensure their safety.

In a place like the grassland with endless horizons, the light of fire can easily attract people.

Attention.

Although there was a small hill in the direction of the gunshot where they were located, and the other party could not see it, it was still better to put out the fire for safety's sake.

Because it is not clear who the shooter was.

Once their location is discovered by the other party, it may lead to unforeseen dangers.

As for Hu Zhijun, there is no need to worry.

As an outstanding officer in the guard force, he will naturally have a way to successfully find the camp.

What's more, the distance of 3 kilometers is neither long nor short, and the results may be available in ten minutes.

Ten minutes, this period of time would have passed quickly in normal times, but now it seemed as long as a century.

The three people in the camp, whether Su Yichen or Wan Changchun, were looking anxiously at the direction Hu Zhijun was leaving.

As for Gudamai, although he looked very relaxed in front of them, the hand holding the gun also showed that Showing his inner tension.

While waiting, Su Yichen couldn't help but ask about the poachers, because Hu Zhijun told them before leaving that it was initially judged that the shooter should be the poacher.

When talking about poachers, Gudamai, who was born as a herdsman, was filled with hatred.

He told Su Yichen and the others that if they were to say who was the most unpopular person in the grassland, then there was no other person besides poachers.

Poaching has occurred in the Northwest since the 1970s.

Initially, some hunters and some herdsmen poached for money.

They used shotguns to hunt animals on the grassland, especially Tibetan antelopes, in order to obtain their meat and skins in exchange for money.

A few years ago, poaching began to rise sharply.

These poachers have developed from single-person teams to organized and premeditated gangs, and their weapons have also changed from ordinary shotguns to military standards. arms.

Just last year, a poaching team of nearly seven or eight people even appeared in the Hoh Xil area in the southwest.

In just a few days, this team killed nearly a hundred Tibetan antelopes and peeled off their fur with flesh and blood.

There were several big bags, and the furs could be exchanged for 50 to 80 yuan depending on their grade when shipped to the border.

"Why is it so serious?"

Su Yichen said in surprise: "Does the local government just ignore it?"

"It's taken care of, why don't you care?"

Gudamai gritted his teeth and said: "Not only the government, but also the army is taking care of it, but in such a large grassland, these poachers are unpredictable, and they are simply impossible to guard against.

What's more damning is that poachers used to poach The main purpose of hunting sheep is to eat meat, but they only want their fur, and they even hunt pregnant ewes.

Doing so will be punished by God."

"Hey, it's all about money."

Wan Changchun sighed.

He knew more about this matter than Su Yichen.

The Tibetan antelope's down is an excellent material for shoulders and scarves, and its skin is also very good.

The finished products made from excellent leather are popular luxury goods abroad and are worth as much as gold.

With the development of the country's economic construction and the opening of the country, these unscrupulous guys have focused on poaching to make a fortune.

In addition, the northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, and poaching is a small profit.

With the rise of this unhealthy trend, large and relatively safe "trading" has led to countless poaching behaviors in recent years.

Just when they were all angry at the poachers' behavior, suddenly a gunshot rang out in the distance, and then the gunshots rang out continuously.

This gunshot was no longer just two shots like before, but It was an obvious burst of fire.

Upon hearing the gunshot, the three of them suddenly stood up at the same time, especially Gudamai's expression changed drastically. aa2705221:
