UE on the hills of Manchuria

Terrain: Hills and forests of Manchuria, August 1945

• Terrain: Gentle hills covered with mixed forest (oak, birch, spruce, pine), dense undergrowth, and occasionally thorny bushes and windfall debris. The slopes are steep in places, with rock falls; at the summits, there are rare open areas with grass and moss.
  - Soil and surface: Moist, clayey in places after rain; the slopes are littered with roots, rocks, and fallen tree trunks. In the lowlands, there are swampy areas and streams; higher up the slopes, there are dry, rocky paths.
  - Visibility and camouflage: The dense tree canopy and thick undergrowth provide cover, but the bright colors of the characters' clothing immediately stand out against the muted green-brown tones. At dusk, shadows fall in patches, you can hide, but any sharp sound carries far. - Weather and atmosphere: late summer, stuffy, humid, frequent fog in the lowlands in the mornings. Mosquitoes and midges, the smell of rotting leaves and dampness. Hot during the day, quickly cooling in the evening. - Sounds: wind in the treetops, cracking branches, birdsong, sometimes distant voices and footsteps. In such silence, any rustle can be heard tens of meters away - Red Army scouts move silently and wait for silence to avoid giving themselves away. - Landmarks: rare clearings, old hunters' trails, stream beds, rock outcrops on the slopes. You can look around at the tops of the hills, but it's easy to spot and be spotted there.
  - Danger: wild animals (boars, bears), poisonous snakes in the tall grass, difficult-to-pass areas, sudden downpours that wash out paths and raise the water level in streams.
  It's in this environment that the group from the academy appears alien: their bright uniforms, unusual manners, lack of weapons, and habit of relying on whims. The Red Army scouts, who need to quietly search the chemical plant, perceive them as suspicious strangers whose presence could disrupt the operation.

The students were quirkless, dressed in bright "hero" clothing, unarmed, and surrounded by Red Army scouts who didn't need the noise.
