Chapter 193 The Blue Team's Goal!
The other nine people stopped in their tracks upon hearing Xu Ge's words and stood in front of the car looking at him.

Xu Ge brought his nose close to the seat and sniffed carefully, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

"What are you smelling? Hurry up and get in the car!" Xu Zhijun urged.

"We can't go to the county town." Xu Ge repeated, looking at Xu Zhijun, "Dad, you've been fooled by those two blue soldiers!"

Xu Zhijun was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Guo Yuanshuai also spoke up: "What's going on? Xu Ge, what did you find out?"

Xu Ge: "The car smells of chestnut blossoms!"

The chestnut blossoms are in full bloom this season, and Xu Ge has been wandering in the chestnut forest for almost a day and a night, so he is naturally very familiar with the smell.

Everyone, including himself, had this unique floral scent lingering on them. As soon as Xu Ge opened the car door, he smelled the chestnut blossom scent inside the car.

Guo Yuanshuai's expression also changed: "Are you sure?"

Xu Ge nodded: "Confirmed!"

Xu Zhijun sniffed hard in the car and asked in surprise, "Why can't I smell anything?"

Ao Xiang also ran over and smelled it, then shook his head as well.

However, the people in Class 9 still trusted Xu Ge's intuition very much. Su Liujun said, "So, those two Blue Army soldiers in the car also came from the chestnut forest?"

"But we've looked all over and haven't found anything!"

"Could we have missed something?"

"We can't just run back in and walk around again, can we? There's simply not enough time!"

After a few words of discussion, everyone frowned.

Guo Yuanshuai waved his hand: "Get in the car first! Brother, take us to the spot where we first saw those two Blue Team players."

"it is good!"

Everyone climbed into the van, and Xu Zhijun immediately reversed and turned around, driving along the national highway.

With less than ten hours until the exercise officially begins, there are even more military vehicles coming and going along the way, and everyone is squatting down, not daring to get up.

Xu Zhijun still couldn't accept it: "No, how could those two soldiers lie to an ordinary citizen like me?"

"Dad, do you know that for the Blue Team, the location of their command post is their biggest secret? How could they possibly tell such a thing to an outsider?"

Xu Ge explained, "Furthermore, only a few people know the location of the command post; even our squad leader doesn't know the location of our brigade commander!"

"So, do you think these two soldiers I pulled today know the location of their command post?" Xu Zhijun asked.

Xu Ge thought for a moment and said, "I feel like they should know."

"why?"

"Because under normal circumstances, if they don't know, they will just say they don't know, instead of telling you a specific location."

As he spoke, Xu Zhijun had already parked the car on the side of the road and pointed to the other side of the road, saying, "I saw those two soldiers right here."

Xu Ge took off his helmet, peeked out, and said, "Squad leader, position number 5 is up here."

Guo Yuanshuai immediately looked at Ao Xiang: "Xiangzi, didn't you say you two walked that part together?"

Position 5 is a place that Xu Ge and his three companions had not been to, but Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong came from that direction.

Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong's expressions also changed, and they hurriedly said, "We're sure we've passed by!"

Guo Yuanshuai took out a map and spread it out on his seat: "You two confirm for me again, is it really the line I drew?"

Seeing Guo Yuanshuai's serious expression, Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong squatted down and examined him carefully for a while. After exchanging a glance, Ao Xiang whispered:
"Squad leader, to be honest, this is roughly the direction, but I'm not sure if it matches the line you drew exactly. This mountain area is huge, and this is our first time here either..."

"Then let's go through it again!"

Guo Yuanshuai made a quick decision and looked at Xu Zhijun, "Brother, take us to the other side of the road and find a secluded place to park."

"no problem!"

hum!
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no cars on the road, Xu Zhijun stepped on the gas, and the van crossed the road and plunged into the grove of trees below the roadside embankment on the other side.

Everyone:. . .

"You can't see the cars on the national highway from here, so get off here!" Xu Zhijun urged.

"Dad, whose car is this? You're just going to drive it like this?"

"Your second uncle, he's also planning to get a new car!"

Xu Ge: ...

Xu Zhijun looked at Guo Yuanshuai: "Old squad leader, how about this, you guys go up and continue searching, I'll drive to the county's armed forces department myself to check the situation, and then keep in touch by phone?"

Guo Yuanshuai said with a grateful look, "That's really too much trouble for you, Brother Xu!"

Xu Zhijun raised his hand in salute: "I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
No, who gave you a task and you're guaranteed to complete it?
. . .

. . .

The visibility in the chestnut forest was much better during the day, so the group moved forward quickly.

Two hours later, we arrived at location number 5 on the map.

Guo Yuanshuai asked Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong to carefully recall the direction they came from. After confirming, they found that they had indeed missed one direction, so he immediately led everyone to continue forward.

In a valley, Guo Yuanshuai pointed to the boundary between two chestnut forests of different ages and asked, "See that path to the southwest? Have you been there before?"

Ao Xiang shook his head: "No."

Guo Yuanshuai looked at everyone's condition and signaled them to rest for 20 minutes before eating.

"Don't finish all the water and rations; leave at least some for emergencies!" "Understood!"

"Su Liujun and Wang Lin will go and keep watch first."

"Yes!"

Ao Xiang and Wu Xiaoyong stood up: "You guys eat first, we'll go keep watch!"

After saying that, they each went to stand guard in a different direction.

The current situation is more or less related to them, and the two of them are embarrassed to enjoy it with a clear conscience.

Buzz!
Xu Ge had just opened the compressed biscuit box when his phone started vibrating.

"Hey, Dad!"

"Okay! Okay! I understand!"

"Are you sure you're heading towards Ruyang? Okay, that'll do for now!"

After hanging up the phone, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Ge said, "My dad went to the county's armed forces department and found that there was no Blue Army command post at all."

This news was within everyone's expectations, and no one was surprised.

Guo Yuanshuai said in a deep voice, "It seems we've come full circle back to this ecological zone..."

“Squad leader, my dad knows the head of the armed forces department in the county. He got some information while chatting with him: there’s a military train heading to Ruyang that’s full of armored vehicles and artillery!”

Xu Ge continued, "My dad even went to the train station to check, it's true!"

"A military train to Ruyang?"

Everyone was stunned.

"The exercise is about to start in a few hours. Why did the Blue Army bring their armored units and artillery battalion to Ruyang?"

Guo Yuanshuai didn't speak, but took out a military map, spread it out, and looked at it for a long time.

The others ate their meals without making a sound to disturb them.

After watching for a while, Guo Yuanshuai suddenly muttered to himself, "The Blue Army wouldn't run to Ruyang for no reason, unless they have clear intelligence confirming that there are high-value targets there!"

Niu San first handed the heated food to Guo Yuanshuai, then leaned over to look at the map: "Squad leader, Ruyang is almost out of the exercise area. Where is the Blue Army trying to hit with their artillery? Zhugou Town is already beyond the range of the 155mm self-propelled howitzer, isn't it?"

Guo Yuanshuai frowned and pointed to the Shigun River next to Zhugou Town: "This is the closest area to Ruyang on our side. Xu Ge, did you bring a ruler? Give it to me."

"Yes!"

Xu Ge immediately handed a right-angle ruler to Guo Yuanshuai from his small leather bag containing a compass. Guo Yuanshuai measured it on the map and began to calculate silently.

“Squad leader, no need to calculate, the straight-line distance is 60-70 kilometers.”

Xu Ge instantly recalled the distance and firing parameters in his mind, and then said, "As far as I remember, there aren't any very high mountains in between, so there shouldn't be any need to adjust the trajectory."

Niu Sanxian: "See, I was right, it's beyond the range of the PCL-181!"

He and Liu Senlin had been scouting on the Blue Army's side for over a month, so they naturally knew the type of howitzer the other side used.

Guo Yuanshuai's expression turned serious: "No, if we use extended-range missiles, the range can reach 70 kilometers, which is just enough to hit the edge of the Shigun River."

Su Liujun also chimed in: "Squad leader, aren't extended-range missiles forbidden to be used?"

"It's us who don't allow it, not the Blue Team," Guo Yuanshuai shook his head. "Isn't this just a matter of the directing group's word?"

"Even so, we'd still need to have people on the other side of Stone Rolling River, right?"

"Just ask and you'll find out."

After Guo Yuanshuai finished speaking, he took out his phone and dialed Gao Wen's number.

The call connected quickly: "Old Guo, have you found the Blue Army command post?"

"Not yet. We're at the chestnut ecological park right now, so it's only a possibility."

"Damn it, why did you call? You made me happy for nothing."

Gao Wen said somewhat discontentedly, "Do you know how busy I am right now? If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!"

Guo Yuanshuai immediately started cursing: "Do you think I'm such a bored person? Why would I fucking call you for no reason? Try hanging up on me and see what happens!"

Gawain:. . .

"Alright, alright, what is it? Speak quickly!"

"I'm asking you, what deployments does our brigade have at the southernmost point of the Stone Rolling River?"

Gao Wen was taken aback: "Old Guo, why are you asking this? Don't you know this is classified information..."

"I'm just asking you, do you have it or not? I'm warning you, if you don't tell me, you'll be responsible for whatever happens!" Guo Yuanshuai interrupted.

Gao Wen, who knew Guo Yuanshuai well, paused for a moment and said, "I really don't know. I need to ask the regimental commander."

"Ask quickly!"

"Okay, don't hang up yet!"

A moment later, Fu Qiang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "This is Fu Qiang, what happened?"

"Commander, is there an important deployment of our brigade at the southernmost point of Shigun River?" Guo Yuanshuai asked directly.

Fu Qiang's tone was serious: "How do you know? Our anti-aircraft artillery battalion is there!"

!!!

Xu Ge and the others were all taken aback when they heard Fu Qiang's words.

"Why is the artillery battalion there?" Guo Yuanshuai was also startled. "The Blue Army has already gone to Ruyang, and it looks like their target is our artillery battalion!"
