Chapter 1776: My Comrades
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As the captain, Xia Jinyuan was the supreme commander. Every word he said was binding to every soldier. No one could disobey him.
Even though Han Zheng was Xia Jinyuan’s childhood friend, he had to listen to Xia Jinyuan.
He replied with a ‘yes’ and immediately carried out Xia Jinyuan’s order.
On the other hand, Big Whale found the soldier of Army Aviation and let Xia Jinyuan ask about the relevant matters.
Losing contact with 20 people was not a small problem. If anything happened, the relevant personnel would be held accountable. Hence, Xia Jinyuan didn’t ask the Army Aviation soldiers to salute him. He asked directly, “What did your regimental commander say?”
“Reporting to the chief, my station received a message from the ground navigation command center twice. The first time, we needed the chief to lead the soldiers over to Kurila where we lost contact with the cultural team. The second time, it was about how the Black-20 crew had already flown over the Aurora Canyon. The commander instructed the Black-20 crew and the ten soldiers who had yet to land to search for the missing soldiers of the cultural troupe.”
Han Zheng had already brought out the map they needed. Xia Jinyuan, who was about to take the notebook, narrowed his eyes. The Black-20 was the patrol plane that Ye Jian was on. “Has the Black-20 landed?”
“The Black-20 is preparing to land at the military depot. We still don’t know if the landing is completed yet,” the Army Aviation soldier replied truthfully. He was also quite worried about the brothers on the Black-20 patrol helicopter and hoped they landed as soon as possible.
Big Whale clenched his fists tightly when he heard that. It had been three hours since the snowstorm started. He looked at his watch and gasped.
Three hours and twenty-one minutes. Xia Jinyuan looked at the time shown in the notebook and calculated the time accurately.
Xia Jinyuan locked his gaze on the laptop and pressed the buttons quickly. He adjusted the satellite map to the detailed topographic map interface he wanted to see. Without raising his head, he asked the Army Aviation soldier, “Where did the cultural troupe go missing?”
They had lost contact with a group of 20 people. The Army Aviation team was mainly responsible for air patrol, so the ground search should be left to the army.
The Army Aviation soldier didn’t reply immediately. He stood there awkwardly.
The second time he received a call from the ground navigation command center, the regimental commander had personally reminded him not to implicate too many people in this matter for the time being. There was a difference in the severity of the punishment in case it implicated the brothers who were in training.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t hear any reply after waiting for a few seconds. He raised his head and saw the troubled look on the face of the Army Aviation soldier. He smiled and said, “What’s there to be troubled about? I already know about it now. Do you think I’ll pretend not to be aware of anything if you don’t tell me? Do you think I’ll continue to hide in the windproof cave to avoid the wind and snow?
“Soldier, don’t forget that there are still my comrades on the Black-20. Your regimental commander has already sent them to support the soldiers who are going to look for the cultural troupe. Isn’t it a little too late to worry about me taking responsibility?”
If it was during normal times, he wouldn’t have to worry too much. However, there was a blizzard right now, so he couldn’t just stand there without moving.
Xia Jinyuan smiled at the awkward expression on the soldier’s face. He didn’t make things difficult for the soldier. Instead, he analyzed the general location of the missing team.
‘I really can’t say. Tsk, I’ve already said too much.’
The captain of Army Aviation was a brilliant person. Sometimes, even the instructors could not outsmart him. He instructed the soldiers not to reveal the location of the cultural troupe’s loss of contact.. However, other than not telling Xia Jinyuan the location, everything else was said clearly.
