295: Why do they have so many cold weapons?

One path led into the primeval forest, and the other led to the river, from which one could also enter the primeval forest.

Battalion Commander Wan immediately used the radio to report the situation to his superiors.

"Battalion Commander Wan, urgent situation, the two teams sent out to search are now out of contact..."

What?

Hearing this news, Battalion Commander Wan's expression immediately became anxious.

Two companies of Soldiers, how could they suddenly disappear? Could it be that they encountered some danger? Or was it because of poor signal in the mountains?

Battalion Commander Wan tried to call those Comrades-in-arms, but after calling for a while, he couldn't get in touch.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do?"

Battalion Commander Wan's face was a bit anxious, and he contacted the Commanders above again.

"Now you not only have to find the six villagers, but also bring back the Soldiers from these two companies..."

"Yes."

Battalion Commander Wan immediately conveyed the Commanders' orders to his Soldiers.

"Now, we will take the left path into the primeval forest to search for our Comrades-in-arms and the six missing villagers..."

This primeval forest was much more dangerous than the path they had just taken.

They used to go to the boundary marker during the day, and if they encountered heavy snow, they would wait for the snow to stop before setting out.

But this time, six villagers were missing, and if they couldn't find them... that's six lives. As for the Soldiers from the two companies, Battalion Commander Wan wasn't too worried about them. After all, these people had been serving as Soldiers here for several years, led by a Company Commander. The Company Commander and Platoon Leader also carried weapons, and the others had daggers and other tools.

"Everyone search carefully. If you see anything suspicious, be sure to report it..."

Battalion Commander Wan tried to contact the Soldiers from these two companies with the radio again, but received no reply.

He grew increasingly anxious. No matter what, this mission must be completed perfectly this time, without any mistakes, otherwise, not only would his position be lost, but others might also be implicated.

Xiao Niannian looked at Battalion Commander Wan's anxious expression and heard the other Comrades-in-arms worrying about their Comrades-in-arms and the villagers.

For the past hour, Xiao Niannian had been walking at the very front, searching for clues. However, aside from the previously discovered cut branches and marks on trees, all traces of their passage had been covered by snow.

Xiao Niannian thought of ways to search for clues.

She saw some bushes not far away that had been pushed aside. Although there was some accumulated snow, the bushes had been stepped on before the snow covered them.

Xiao Niannian brushed away the snow and saw many footprints.

Xiao Niannian called her Comrades-in-arms over.

"Look here."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, several Comrades-in-arms ran over. After carefully looking at where Platoon Leader Xiao pointed, someone shouted happily.

"Footprints."

"These footprints are from our Comrades-in-arms' shoes..."

"We found the footprints they left behind."

"Our search direction is correct."

Battalion Commander Wan also ran over after hearing the Soldier's report.

Xiao Niannian said.

"These footprints are our Comrades-in-arms' footprints..."

Battalion Commander Wan looked at the footprints, compared them carefully, and agreed with Xiao Niannian.

"Platoon Leader Xiao is right, these footprints are indeed our Comrades-in-arms'. Wang Jiu, Li You, you few, go ahead and scout..."

Battalion Commander Wan only knew that Lu Jing's team were scouts from the south, and didn't know that Lu Jing and his team were Special Combat Members. So, when he dispatched people to search for their Comrades-in-arms today, he first arranged for his own Soldiers.

After all, they had been Soldiers here for so many years and were much more familiar with the conditions in these mountains than the Comrades-in-arms from the south, and had more confidence.

If something happened to these Comrades-in-arms from the south, he would not only be dismissed, but the consequences might be even more severe.

So he kept telling Comrade Xiao and her team to follow their group so they could protect the Comrades-in-arms from the south.

"Comrade Xiao, when you go scouting, don't go too far, and be sure to pay attention to safety..."

Hearing Battalion Commander Wan's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"We will pay attention to safety."

Hearing Xiao Niannian's reply and seeing the appearance of the southern Comrades-in-arms following her, Battalion Commander Wan still sent two veterans to accompany them, to avoid any further mishaps.

"Howl..."

Xiao Niannian was scouting ahead with her Comrades-in-arms when she heard a wolf howl.

One wolf howl sounded, followed by many more wolf howls.

"Not good, a wolf pack is on the move..."

One of the veterans following Xiao Niannian and her team said somewhat flustered.

They had dealt with these wolf packs many times here. Some Comrades-in-arms had been bitten, and they had killed over a dozen wolves, but these wolves were cunning. They often went to the villages to eat chickens and ducks raised by the villagers, and even eggs. They would even eat some vegetables planted by the Production Brigade. Every time they received news from the villagers and rushed over, these wolves had already escaped.

And when they patrolled the mountains and checked many boundary markers, they would also encounter these wolves.

There were three different wolf packs, each staying in a different area. Occasionally, they would hear many wolf howls, which meant the three wolf packs were fighting over territory... "Shhh."

A whistle sounded, and the veteran loudly warned the people in Xiao Niannian's team.

"Everyone, quickly return and gather, do not act alone anymore..."

"There's a wolf pack, be careful..."

Xiao Niannian and her Comrades-in-arms quickly ran back to the team. Xiao Niannian took out a dagger from her bag, and Squad Leader Li and others also took out daggers.

Seeing Xiao Niannian and her team take out daggers, the two veterans were stunned.

Why did these Comrades-in-arms from the south carry so many daggers with them?

Normally, some of them would carry weapons and knives, but only a few. However, Comrade Xiao and her team each had a dagger.

Xiao Niannian then took out a self-made crossbow from her bag.

"Comrade Xiao, what kind of weapon is that in your hand?"

"A self-made crossbow, it's very useful."

Looking at the crossbow in Comrade Xiao's hand, it was much smaller than a bow and arrow, but it looked very exquisite. Could this crossbow really hunt wild wolves?

Xiao Niannian took out the arrows from her bag and handed the dagger in her hand to one of the veterans.

"Take this dagger for self-defense first."

Squad Leader Li also took out another knife from his bag and handed it to the other veteran.

"Take this knife and use it for now."

???

What was the background of these Comrades-in-arms from the south? Why did they have so many cold weapons, and these cold weapons all looked very sharp, and there was also this crossbow... There were many hunters in Heilongjiang Province, and many of the villagers they interacted with knew how to hunt.
