Chapter 1453: Fortress of Trouble
Named Apocalypse Farm, this haunted place is located 9 miles east-northeast of Waco, about 14 kilometers in the heart of Mount Carmel, and the ranch covers 33 hectares and is generally flat.
Of course, the part of the farmland on the outskirts of the ranch has been controlled by law enforcement officers, but the farmer-themed building that Andrei is looking at is the biggest trouble - the complex of 6 connected houses is actually a fortress!
The distribution pattern of buildings is similar to that of those aristocratic estates with certain defensive functions after the Middle Ages in Europe and when firearms were first popular, and it is difficult to overcome them with ordinary firearms without using cannons.
The farm house in the moonlight is plain, but it eats people!
The ATF has already surrounded the area, but it is actually loosely controlled by the point of support, which will make the nearest support point more than 400 meters away from the farm complex, and all run outside the farm range.
The so-called control is that if any militant who comes out of the farmhouse building and appears in the wilderness, he will be shot by ATF snipers!
The real fire was already in the morning, the ATF suffered heavy casualties, and the law enforcement officers would never be merciful to those bastards!
Now the observation position of Andre and the three is farther away, they are all 600 meters away, so they still need to use the car and the terrain as a cover, and they can't stand there in the bright and observe with their glasses.
According to Joshua Taylor, he couldn't get any closer, and the ATF sent hundreds of people to execute search warrants in the morning, and in the exchange of fire, not only four people were killed, but 16 others were injured, most of whom are still being treated in hospitals.
The moonlight is good tonight, and if you get closer, you will likely be sniped, and those crazy people are probably fighting high tonight.
Here Andrei said that it is a fortress, then it is a fortress, and it can't be wrong. Fortunately, there was no hurry, and the three of them went to the side of the Buick with its back to the farm, and Joshua handed André several copies of the architectural drawings.
Architectural drawings, if you build a slightly larger house in the United States, you will have an architectural plan kept in the city hall - if it is a public building drawing, then any ordinary adult American citizen with no criminal record can report it and review it after approval.
As for private buildings, it is very convenient for ATF to get one.
Don't take any opponent who has a wrong brain, if a person who is off the right side of his mind, he will often do better than a normal person if he focuses on something, as the Red Devils have been told in training.
Although it is more than 600 meters away from the ranch building, it is still night, and Andrei and Alexander did not ask the big man to put the drawings on the engine cover to look at them, these two don't want to become the target of others to practice marksmanship!
This is Texas, and any adult who wants to buy a Remington 700 civilian precision shooting rifle with a theoretical maximum effective range of 800 meters is no more troublesome than going to the supermarket to buy a hammer, and there is no need to register!
Yes, you don't need to register, you don't need to register to buy a single-shot bolt-action gun, you don't need to register in Texas, it's just a shotgun, almost every household has it, and the production tools are just that, but the new pistol that can be carried concealed needs to be registered.
The three of them simply sat on the ground, it was absolutely safe, the butt of the car and the ridge were blocked, and Andre looked at the drawings with a flashlight.
The farm is a two-storey building with outward-facing windows, and several houses are surrounded by a circle, except for a section of the southeast corner that is walled.
The wall is not only in the southeast corner, the entire complex is also surrounded by a ring of walls with a height of nearly three meters, relying on the house as a defensive stronghold, it is simply 360 degrees without weaknesses!
The windows are not butchers, the first floor is equipped with an anti-theft fence, and the second floor is not equipped with an iron fence, which will be blocked by all kinds of things.
At least it looked plugged, but no one could be sure if there was a sniper hiding inside, looking through the deliberately left gap with the scope, ready to shoot at any time.
Don't think that the section of the wall in the southeast corner is a weak point, once outsiders enter through the gate and wall over there, they will be attacked by fire from three directions in the entire manor, and people entering it are basically sent to death!
There is a water tower and a huge cistern built on the west side of the complex, and it is speculated that there are fuel depots and generators inside, which are basically ineffective in cutting off water and electricity.
Not to mention the food problem, there are farms, and there are crazy people who help guard against the end every day, and no one can starve to death to death of those guys!
There are also two three-story towers in the southwest and northeast corners of the complex, which resemble two blockhouses. To the south in the middle of the complex, a massive four-story square tower stands out, reaching the height of an ordinary five-story residential building, and those on the top floor will have an unobstructed 360-degree view except for very close proximity.
Andre thinks that if Guan Xingquan, who recently went to the UK, he will definitely say: "This girl is a little devil's turret!"
Just like the turret, it is still a turret that cannot be killed simply with flat-firing guns and bazookas, because the personnel situation inside may be very complicated, and it is not a simple target that can solve the problem with one shot.
Combined with what he had just seen in his glasses, Andrei and Alexander already had a general idea of the target building, but it wasn't enough, because...
"We suspect that the main residential area is in this row of houses on the south side, but we can't be entirely sure. The place inside is big enough, and you can change places at any time, and it is difficult for us to figure out the thinking of a madman. At the same time, it is speculated that the target building should also have an underground bunker, which is not on these drawings, and the town hall can't control the crazy people. ”
"It doesn't matter. "What kind of building materials are used for the house?"
Joshua sighed and said, "We can only guess based on the supply channel when the other party built the house, we didn't invite the builder, they built it themselves, or that..."
Andrei interrupted him, "The competent approval department only cares about the big picture of this kind of private residence, regardless of the specific materials, understand. ”
"Reinforced concrete, or a lot of stone, we guess that when those madmen built their houses, many of these places used the same way they built churches a hundred years ago.
There should also be a large number of timber structures inside, not heavy pressure support structures, but cedar trees of average size and strength..."
Speaking of which, the farm is exactly the same as the wall of the palace that André encountered in Marbella, Spain: you know it's strong, but you don't know how strong it is!
Against the Shah, you can use a large bomb-bomb to open the way without worrying about the enemy's casualties, but you can't use this trick here!
