"Yes, what's wrong with the patrols? They divide into 3-5 squads every day and patrol along the edge of the Chachai territory. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"So are these patrols from the barracks, or from cottages and highway posts?"
"Generally from two barracks?"
"And how far are they from the barracks to the cottage lair?"
"It's about an hour on foot, or about 20 minutes by truck. ”
"What about the capacity of Chachai's men?"
"There are no less than 20 trucks and jeeps. Hearing this amount, the elf groaned, followed her and quickened his pace, came to Hou Rui's side, and hurriedly reminded: "We attack the cottage, even if everything goes well, it will take at least 2-30 minutes, I just knew that Chachai's strength is so strong, it seems that we need to make some preparations." ”
"What do you mean?" Hou Rui attached great importance to the elf's opinion, so he immediately asked.
"We have to find a way to delay the arrival of the additional personnel in Chachai. ”
"I see, I'll figure it out. After saying that, Hou Rui thought quickly, and then chased a few steps forward, came to the back of Bassoon, and asked the elephant riding on it, "How far is it from here to the military camp in Chachai?"
"Almost 12-3 km. ”
"Is there any way to avoid it?"
"To get out of the two barracks, you need to gather on the mountainside in front of you, and then there is an easy road leading directly to the cottage, which is also the only road to reach the cottage. ”
"Can you find a way to go around and make some arrangements?"
“…… Yes, but I'm afraid it will affect our progress. ”
"What then?"
"Very important, must go?"
"Must go!"
"Alright then, let them follow the bassoon for a while, and the two of us will go and go back alone, so that we can take care of both. ”
"Okay, do it!" Hou Rui finished and began to look for the equipment he needed from the weapon case.
Two hours later, the elephant took Hou Rui to a mountainside road, and after an hour of busy work, he took a shortcut again to catch up with Bassoon.
When the hard trek of the second day was over, Hou Rui could clearly see the familiar hill and the cottage of Chachai through the telescope, so Hou Rui and the others then lurked on the edge of a forest, about 6-7 kilometers away from the cottage in a straight line.
The night came quickly, and when everyone hurried to recover their strength, Hou Rui and the elephant quietly climbed into the canopy of a big tree, monitoring the situation in the cottage while talking in a whisper.
"There are a lot of guards on the wall?" Hou Rui, holding a telescope, whispered.
"There are about 10 fixed guards, and there are 5 sentry posts. The elephant replied more precisely.
"The wall is just over two meters high, so it's not a problem to climb over, but the real threat is minefields, all of which are unmarked, and it's too dangerous to break in. Hou Rui moved his gaze down, looked at the outside of the cottage wall, and said in the large grass swaying in the wind.
"What do you think?" the elephant also has a headache for this minefield.
"The next strategy is to kill along the safe passage of the minefield, and the best strategy is to clear the mine overnight and break through in a straight line along the minefield. ”
"Wouldn't it be too risky to clear mines overnight?"
"And what do you suggest?"
“…… I know that every morning the mountain people will leave the cottage to take care of the crops in the infant corn field, and then return to the cottage around 3 p.m., can we take advantage of the opportunity for the mountain people to return to the cottage and kill them in one fell swoop?"
"It's very difficult, and the chance of success is very small, I'm afraid that after the gunshot, halfway through our attack, we will be surrounded by a large group of troops in Chachai. ”
Hearing Hou Rui's comment that his suggestion was not feasible, so the elephant's expression was a little lost, so Hou Rui reached out and patted the elephant's shoulder to show comfort, slowly slid down from the tree, and followed the two back to the temporary camp.
When Hou Rui announced that he was going to clear the mines overnight, although the ape man had a painful expression, he still got up and was ready to go to work immediately, but out of consideration for everyone's physical strength, Hou Rui immediately made a compromise decision after a simple thought: "I and the elephant will go first, and two hours later, we will be replaced by apes and elves, and strive to cross the minefield at dawn, and then immediately attack the cottage, as planned." ”
"I ......" Lux opened her mouth a little bit to stop talking, but Hou Rui had already raised her hand to stop her presciently: "Your situation is special, go to bed early, when I attack tomorrow, I need your full attention to fight." ”
"I ...... I also have a bit of a problem. But the elephant on the other side hesitated.
"What's the problem?"
"I won't clear mines!"
“…… Then you go to sleep right away, so that you can be the main force of tomorrow's attack, and I will do the first round of work myself. After saying it decisively, Hou Rui took out the electromagnetic detection equipment from the box next to him, and then found the dagger, sapper shovel and other tools.
When Hou Rui shoved all kinds of messy little things on himself, the elephant suddenly asked without a head: "What if I unfortunately detonate a mine?"
In an instant, several pairs of unfriendly eyes stared at the elephant's body together, but the elephant didn't seem to feel anything, and still looked directly at Hou Rui, waiting for him to give an answer.
But Hou Rui didn't raise his head, and replied without thinking: "If I hit the mine, the plan will be canceled immediately, and you can retreat directly; if someone else detonates the mine, then I promise you that I will take back your body and bury it properly no matter what." ”
"What about the plan to kill Chachai?"
"Our plans are all based on a surprise attack, and once it is exposed, we lose all our tactical advantage, so I will cancel the whole plan immediately. ”
"......" The elephant had nothing to say now, and Hou Rui turned his head and quickly rushed into the darkness, leaving the dense forest and returning to the open area in front of the cottage.
First squatted on the grass, listened sideways, and after making sure that there were only insects and wind nearby, Hou Rui acted cautiously, ran into the infant corn field with his waist down, and approached the outer wall of the cottage A kilometer away, Hou Rui stopped, confirmed the surrounding environment for the second time, and then slowly lay on the ground, crawling forward with his hands and feet.
According to the information provided by the elephant, outside the outer wall of the cottage, there are irregular minefields within a kilometer, so Hou Rui opened the electromagnetic metal detector here, and began to inspect inch by inch, once the metal target was found underground, Hou Rui would carefully confirm the location with a dagger, and then excavate.
Two minutes later, the first anti-infantry mine was crept out of the dirt by Hou Rui and carefully put aside.
5 minutes later, a steel ball jumped thunder and was gouged out by Hou Rui......
In this way, an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Hou Rui had dug up 9 different types of mines in succession, and advanced about 50 meters in the minefield.
Demining itself is a highly tense and mentally stressful job, and demining in the dark under the moonlight is far more thrilling than dancing on the tip of a knife, although Hou Rui has only been working for an hour, and the amount of exercise is not huge, but his whole body has been soaked with sweat, and the camouflage uniform is wet and sticking to the skin, and the wind will feel a burst of clammy cold.
Taking the time to wipe the sweat beads on his face with the back of his hand, Hou Rui first looked up at the cottage wall a few hundred meters away, listened to the chatter of the guards on the wall, and confirmed that no one was paying attention to his side, and then followed Hou Rui before he dared to turn his sore neck, turned his face and looked at the moonlit and starry sky.
After a few seconds of hurriedly relaxing, Hou Rui returned to demining work, but this time as soon as he cleared the weeds in front of him, a round skull was immediately revealed, not even two feet away from the tip of Hou Rui's nose.
When Leng Buding saw such a thing, Hou Rui was also startled, but when Hou Rui calmed down and continued to move forward for half a meter, Hou Rui saw the appearance of the entire skeleton, and the whole fact immediately became clear;
This is the skeleton of a half-grown child, the height will not exceed 1.3 meters, and the right leg bone of this skeleton is missing, and there is a two-fist deep bullet casing at his feet, it is estimated that the child unfortunately stepped on a mine, so he finally died here, and the body was covered by weeds after decomposing, until Hou Rui turned him out.
Facing this stranger, Hou Rui didn't have time to sigh, and after carefully removing the bones a few times, Hou Rui continued to move forward, and in one breath, he almost advanced a distance of 8-90 meters.
Soon, two hours passed, when Hou Rui was dismantling a tripping thunderbolt detonation thread, but in his headphones suddenly came a few regular tapping sounds, which proved that the ape and the elf came to take over, but Hou Rui really couldn't do it at this time, and as a result, Hou Rui could only ignore the contact and concentrate on getting rid of the tripping thunder in his hand.
Half a minute later, when Hou Rui wrapped the silk thread of the tripping thunder around the body of the bullet, and then put the cylindrical iron can next to him half a meter away, he began to retreat with both hands and feet, and retreated from the minefield, and then saw the ape-man like ants in the hot pot.
"What's wrong, why don't you respond to the call?" As soon as he saw Hou Rui appear, the ape-man hurriedly approached and asked.
"I was delayed a little by a stumbling mine. As he spoke, Hou Rui took out all the tools such as the electromagnetic metal detector and handed them to the ape-man one by one.
