Greece to roman road

In the wilderness near Nizhny Tarovs, a small city on the new border between Greece and Bulgaria, Lieutenant Sodilopos is leading his squad, a total of ten people, plus a dog, to patrol the new border of Greece.

After the end of the last war, due to Bulgaria's dispute over the ownership of the Macedonian region, both Greece and Bulgaria deployed a large number of troops on the border to defend the areas under actual control of Macedonia that they occupied.

The two armies in Macedonia have been in a state of confrontation since the end of the last war between the three countries against the Ottoman Empire.

The patrol team that Second Lieutenant Sodi Lopos belongs to belongs to the Border Guard Regiment. Its main task is to patrol the new border to prevent the Bulgarian army from secretly crossing the border and changing the border line privately.

"Medler, why didn't Parker get a rope today?" Amanspey from the patrol team asked.

Parker is a German Shepherd with shiny black hair, an orange belly, and two erect ears. He can always detect the slightest movement and is an indispensable member of the patrol team.

Playing with the smart and clever Parker is a rare change from the boring patrol missions, so the members of the patrol team all like Parker.

Parker is usually the best friend with Medela, so Parker was given to Medela by the patrol team to raise.

It's just that today's Parker is different from the past.

On weekdays, when performing patrol duties, Parker is always pulled by Medela with telescopic pulls, but today's Parker obviously does not have the constraints of the past.

The unrestrained patrol is a novel experience for Parker. He follows the patrol team leisurely, flutters at butterflies happily, and rolls on the grass in the forest.

"Parker is a smart enough dog, man, you have to trust your companions," Medler said.

"Even the dog Parker has already become very skilled at such a simple task as patrolling," Medler said in a joking tone.

"Sh-sh-"

After saying that, Medley looked at Parker who was having a great time in the forest in the distance and whistled.

Sure enough, after hearing the sound, the shepherd dog quickly stood up and ran towards the patrol.

The other members of the patrol team couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

The patrol team has been established for two months. The tasks they are responsible for every day are the same. They set off at dawn in the morning and return to Nizhnytarovs, a small town where the border guard regiment is stationed, at night. They carry out tasks along the established route every day. patrol.

Such boring and monotonous daily life made the team members feel bored. Medler used Parker to tease him, which made everyone feel interesting.

Second Lieutenant Sodi Lopez frowned and admonished displeasedly: "Next time, please pay attention. Although Parker is an alert shepherd, he is still a dog after all. There is no rope restraint. If we let him move freely, he will give us The mission increases the risk of accidents, and you still need to use a rope when performing the mission, Medela."

Medela could only say aggrievedly: "Yes, monitor, I did forget to put a noose on him today."

A few people chatted and laughed, and the speed of their feet became slower and slower. As the squad leader of the patrol, Second Lieutenant Sodi Lopez looked up at the sun in the sky and knew that it was already noon.

Starting at around five o'clock in the morning, everyone had been walking intermittently for several hours. They were severely exhausted. Sodi Lopez did not force the team members and ordered: "Okay, everyone, let's take a rest." , Medela, take Parker and continue to be vigilant around you and pay attention to the surrounding situation. Others should take time to eat and rest."

Several team members breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. After putting their rifles together, they sat around on the grass. They took out an aluminum lunch box and an aluminum water cup from their backpacks and began to swallow them.

After hearing the squad leader's order, Medler had no choice but to stroke Parker's head and signal that he would follow him and take charge of the security mission.

The two people, one person and one dog, continued to patrol the surrounding area. They heard a rustling sound coming from a thick green grass, which attracted the attention of one person and one dog.

"Don't bark, Parker," Medley whispered to the sheepdog in a low voice.

Then there was some hesitation. According to the discipline of the patrol, if you hear any unusual movement, you should report it to the officer immediately, but now Second Lieutenant Sodi Lopez is having a meal.

What's more, the movement in the grass is not sure what it is. According to Medela's experience, it is most likely the noise made by animals.

Under the rough rule of the Ottoman Empire, the Macedonian region was originally sparsely populated and had a low level of development, so there were many wild animals in the forest.

After letting Parker sit down in a secret place, Medley quietly crawled toward the grass where the strange noise was coming from to explore the situation.

When Medela was only five or six steps away from the grass that made the noise, a gray line suddenly jumped out from the grass, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run far away.

It turned out to be a gray hare.

Seeing this scene, Medela breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and secretly sighed that it would be better if he was not a Bulgarian soldier.

Instead, it was the movement of Parker behind him, the fast-running hare, that caught its attention.

"Woof woof"

Parker barked twice in reality, and the hunting instinct hidden in his genes drove Parker to chase the hare, chasing in the direction of the hare's escape like an arrow.

A dog and a rabbit ran quickly towards the east.

Medela, who was originally relieved that the abnormal situation was ruled out, was dumbfounded.

Not far to the east is the area actually controlled by the Bulgarian army!

Parker, the shepherd dog, is an essential part of the patrol team and must not be lost.

These military dogs are specially trained by the army, and every one of them is valuable.

The selection starts from the puppy stage, and during the puppy's growth period, those with unsuitable personalities must be eliminated.

If you lose a line of military authority and have no way to explain it to your superiors, not only will you be punished, but Captain Sodi Lopez will also be implicated in being punished.

Thinking of this, Medela regretted not tying a rope to Parker during today's mission.

Sure enough, there was an accident.

The panicked Medley also ran quickly in the direction of Parker's pursuit, trying to catch the dog back as soon as possible.

"bump--"

A gunshot broke the tranquility of the woods.

"Pfft"

The frightened birds flapped their wings and fled around.

Several patrol members who were dining were shocked when they heard the gunshot.

"There is a situation. Everyone, please stay alert. Where is the gunshot?" Second Lieutenant Sodi Lopez ordered hurriedly.

Several people quickly picked up the rifles set up on the ground, dispersed the formation and moved closer to the direction of the gunfire.

"Medela's gone," someone shouted.

Sodi Lopez's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the gunshot just now, he understood that Medela might have been in an accident.
