Chapter 44: The Capture and Return of the Surveillance Tower (2)
Lookout towers, as the name suggests, watchtowers used for surveillance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since it is surveillance, it is natural to choose a suitable location.
So the question is, what is the right location?
High, high place with a great view. If the field of vision is not wide enough, then the target can use the blind spot of vision to get out of the watcher's sight, and the so-called surveillance becomes a joke.
What is Nolde?
Plateau, with the word "high" in the name, will there be a lack of heights?
Well, in fact, there are really plateaus with flat terrain and little undulation, but the Nord Plateau is not among them, and the terrain changes a lot, with cliffs, steep slopes, and cliffs.
The surveillance tower used to monitor the military base of the Republic is built on a cliff face, with a ninety-degree cliff to the east, a smooth and wide mountain road to the west, and a rugged and steep mountain wall on the north and south sides.
And such an option also facilitates the defense of the surveillance tower itself. If you invade from the east, you can only go by air, and if you invade from the west, you can defend the danger as long as you set up a position in the narrow part of the mountain road, and you need to pay several times the force to break through to the watch tower.
Therefore, when the chariot brigade of the 3rd Mecha Division and the special brigade of "Hedren" attacked at night, the leading troops stationed in the outer positions were not so panicked, unless the opposite side lost their minds and moved the main force to attack, otherwise it would be impossible to break through the position.
In fact, the commander of the tank brigade and Eva did not think about breaking through the enemy's position, they only thought about nailing the main force of the surveillance tower to the position to facilitate the infiltration of the other two routes.
After more than ten days of testing, Eva has roughly figured out the defense system of the surveillance tower - tight on the outside and loose on the inside, that is, the outer position is tight, and the surveillance tower itself is loose.
The outer position relies on the mountainous terrain, with obstacles and mines as the first line of defense, and a dense artillery array is laid behind, supplemented by mecha troops and air boat troops to check and fill in the gaps.
In contrast, the surveillance towers themselves are not much defended. Two soldiers were on duty in the duty room, at the lookout, and at the top of the tower, with one person standing guard at the entrance booth and a four-man team of chappers patrolling back and forth, while the rest were asleep in their respective rooms.
Of course, normally speaking, such an arrangement is sufficient, as long as the outer positions are not breached, the surveillance tower can rest easy.
But this time the situation is abnormal, using black technology airships and "external reason" means to airborne one of the abnormalities, and the monitoring tower has visual blind spots.
The first point is good to say, after all, there is an incomparably glorious primeval civilization in Semuria, and Lane is a visitor from another world.
But this second point really can't be said.,Surveillance towers.,Watchtowers with the name of "surveillance",There are dead ends that can't be monitored.,Your "surveillance" name is crying.,Hey!
Well, even if that dead end is in the south and has nothing to do with the military base that monitors the target republic, but before such an important military stronghold is built, the surrounding situation should always be clearly understood, and the surveillance tower has been put into use for so long and it doesn't even know the dead spot under the nose, which is simply ashamed of the word "military powerhouse".
Whether it was the negligence of the construction team of the surveillance tower, or the carelessness of the first troops stationed here, the existence of this blind spot was concealed. It wasn't until it was discovered by the G-Guy and a series of conspiracies derived from it that it was known to the "Kendamen" side and his party - the Noble Alliance itself did not know.
Yes, unbeknownst to him, the location where the mortar was erected at that time was quite far from the surveillance tower. For safety reasons, the G-guy did not continue to explore the direction of the surveillance tower, and did not find that he could directly touch the gate of the surveillance tower by climbing over the hillside in front of him and climbing a section further.
Li En and others did not have this concern, on the contrary, after discovering the mortar, in order to find more clues, they searched the vicinity, so they found this "secret passage".
It is worth mentioning that this "secret passage" is only known to Lane and his party and the high-level officials of "Kendamen", and even Rect and Miriam, who have been tracking down the G guy all the way, do not know about it, let alone others, which just provides an opportunity for Claire and his party to infiltrate. (Rector was in charge of the negotiations and did not look at the actual situation, and Miriam knew where the Gross and the terrorists were hiding, and left directly after discovering the mortar.) Pay attention to Miriam's words, she has found both mortar locations. When the protagonist group surveyed the scene, Lane and Gaius did not perceive Miriam's breath, and speculated that Miriam was parachuted directly when the protagonist group left the rope climbing ladder, and left after a few glances. )
In order to ensure that the operation was foolproof, before the operation, Claire took Miriam and Gai Stedi to confirm that the blind spot had indeed not been discovered by the Confederate army and was indeed able to bypass the outer positions.
In the wee hours of the morning, Claire led Añirath, Tovar, Gaius, Alyssa, and Elliot up the rock wall along the rope ladder that had been erected during the day, and reached the entrance to the watch tower in the same way.
In the guard box at the door, the Confederate soldiers standing guard were shivering with cold, and there was still half an hour left before the shift change, and he desperately hoped that the next shift would come quickly, so that he could get into the bed and sleep well—Nolde's winter nights were so cold that even if he hid in the sentry box, the cold wind could swish through the crack in the door.
Ah, I really want to drink two sips of wine to warm up my body, I heard that the mare's milk wine made by the people of Nolde is good, I must try it when I have the chance... Well, and a bowl of mutton soup... Alas, it would be nice if this damn war ended sooner.
Just as the soldier was thinking wildly, a black shadow flashed outside the window, hitting the bulletproof glass door of the sentry box, making a crisp sound.
"Whatever!" The soldier shuddered, and subconsciously picked up his rifle and looked left and right.
Outside the sentry box, the searchlights were still dazzling, and the empty scene was no different from what he had seen before.
"There's nothing... What the hell is going on? The soldier hesitated for a moment, then picked up his flashlight and walked out of the sentry box.
At this moment, there was a bright yellow in his gaze, like a butterfly's wings, and it looked very cute.
The "butterfly" suddenly looked upward, revealing an innocent and lovely smile, and the soldier's eyes suddenly lit up.
Unfortunately, it's really just a light moment, and then there's endless darkness.
This girl with a big bow is not only cute, but also a master of the arcane level - Yaniras Elfeld.
She escaped from the shadows at a speed that ordinary people could not reach, and went straight to the sentry box. After deliberately tapping her hand on the glass to make a noise, Yaniras crouched on the spot, avoiding the soldier's gaze.
When the soldiers in the sentry box finally couldn't help but walk out of the sentry box, Yaniras burst out and beat the person into a coma with one move "no hand".
With a successful blow, Yaniras waved into the shadows on the side of the road, and then dragged the soldier into the post as fast as she could, and tied the soldier's hands and feet with the tape prepared in advance, and sealed them.
After doing all this, Yaniras nodded in satisfaction and pushed the door open. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take the soldier's rifle and throw it into the trash can on the side of the road.
By the way, the method of attack was devised by Claire, the method of kidnapping and disarming was taught by Lane, and although Yaniras has no talent for doing bad things, her learning ability is not inferior to others at all.
Using the void created by Yanirath, Tovar led the others on a sprint to the Surveillance Tower.
Claire is a little slower, as she has to deal with two airships docked on the playground.
During the daytime reconnaissance, Claire spotted the airship docking through a telescope, thinking that as long as the two airships could not fly, the air supremacy would be completely controlled by Joker. Although she was not sure that the airship would be docked on the playground at night, she would do her best if there was a possibility.
For this reason, Claire specifically asked Fei for a packet of portable explosives, intending to throw them into the jet port of the airship whenever she had the opportunity. The detonation condition of portable explosives is heat, and as long as the ejector sprays, the results can be imagined.
Claire's preparations were not in vain, and the Confederates that had repelled the attacks of the regular army several times in a row were already a little flustered. The previous 24-hour air patrol has now been changed to regular patrols, with the previous patrol from 10 to 11 o'clock and the next one from 1 to 2 a.m., just in time for Claire to plant explosives.
Pinch the explosives and throw them into the jet.
Pinch the explosives and throw them into the jet.
......
Repeat four times and take one minute.
It took forty-five seconds for Yaniras to tie up and drop her gun, and the two entered the surveillance tower with their front and back feet.
The four Tovars, who entered the tower first, began a pathfinder with Gaius as the core.
The interior of the surveillance tower is a common ring structure in tower-type buildings, that is, the center of the tower is hollowed, and the corridor is suspended around the hollowed out, and each room is connected to the outer wall. This design is a waste of space, but it has the advantage of being easy to navigate. The hollowed-out section in the center does not impede the transmission of sound, and the suspended corridor provides a three-dimensional view for patrolling soldiers. Of course, this also provided great convenience for Gaius's perception.
The undisguised sound and breath shook the atmosphere, turning into an imperceptible "wind" captured by Gaius:
"There are four people in the patrol, and now they are on the third floor, and they don't have the breath of military demonic beasts...... Wait, this voice is...... Tires rubbing against the ground? Is it the self-discipline weapon we have encountered? (Not every Chasseur has military Warcraft, Nidhogg, which was originally raging on the plateau, was hired by Lien, and Marquis Rogner's new Chaser Regiment did not have military Warcraft.) )
"It's not surprising that the Association and the Noble Alliance have long colluded, and it is normal to use self-discipline weapons." Tovar said, "These iron bumps are very rigid, and they won't be detected if they are far away, and they are bounded by ten yaju, and they will remind us when they get close." ”
"Understood."
"Let's get moving, everyone stick to the wall, don't get spotted by the enemy," Tovar ordered.
Soon, Yaniras and Claire returned to the team, and the group found the first target of suppression, the duty room located at the fork in the road on the first floor.
Two people in the duty room were even more unbearable than the soldiers in the sentry box, one leaning back in a chair and yawning, and the other lying on the table and snoring.
Without hesitation, Claire motioned for Gaius to open the door, and Anilas and Tovar rushed in the moment of opening the door, knocking the two soldiers unconscious.
This time, Anirath used a scabbard, while Tovar used a telescopic stick that could release electric shocks. This is his melee weapon, although Tovar's skill points are all added to magic, and his melee ability is not very good, but he has also been instructed by Ain Cernat in "Obsidian", and Ain's best thing is to suppress skills, knock people out and call them a hand. According to reliable information, Tovar was stunned a hundred times when he was (practiced) by Ain, and he would faint when he was dizzy.
Tie up the people in the duty room in the old way and disguise them as sleeping on their desks - the patrolling hunters were accustomed to the Confederate soldiers' "duty" style, and if they sat there in good spirits, the hunters would find it strange. After all, the night guards are too idle, and if it weren't for some professional ethics, the hunters would want to hide in their rooms and sleep.
After cleaning up the soldiers on duty, the group continued to move forward. The so-called infiltration suppression sounds interesting, but in fact the process is very boring, moving forward against the wall without making a sound, and touching room by room. If you notice someone inside, let Claire blow the lock with a laser......
Yes, you read that right, Claire's Guiding Gun can fire lasers. Not only Claire, but many high-end guided guns in this world can shoot lasers, such as Titda, such as Ellie, such as Clea, such as Macchias, it can only be said that Semuria's technology tree is a little crooked again.
The benefits of using a laser are numerous. First, the voice is weak and not easily noticed; Second, the efficiency is high, and the iron lock is broken in one second; Thirdly, it is clean and pollution-free, ahem, this point has no effect on the battle, skip it.
In short, with the laser, breaking the door becomes easy, and unless the people inside can react within three seconds, they can't escape the set of combos of Claire and the others - breaking the door, stunning, tying people, sealing, and throwing weapons. By the way, after breaking down the door, everyone closes the door and enters the room, so that even if the noise is a little louder, there is a door and a strong barrier, so that it will not be heard by the patrol outside.
In this way, the group successfully emptied the first floor, and controlled a total of four Confederate soldiers and four chasseurs. The performance of the Chasseur is a little better than that of the Confederate soldiers, but it is also limited, it is nothing more than being knocked unconscious with their eyes open and controlled in their sleep, and the result is the same anyway.
"This is the last room on the first floor, and it doesn't seem to be as difficult as I thought." In the hunter's room, Macchias, who was sealing the last hunter, said.
"Don't be careless, this is just the beginning." Claire said solemnly, "If one person screams, we will be besieged by everyone. Therefore, we must not give a voice to the enemy-"
As soon as the word "sound" came out, a shrill siren suddenly sounded in the corridor.
ps: In the game, regardless of killing the watch tower, it's just an extremely funny behavior. However, I think of the style of not doing investigations before the trajectory series sneaked in, so I won't complain. Estelle, Lloyd, and the others seem to have done similar things anyway.
PS2: Alyssa and Gaius didn't want to get involved in the war, so they didn't think about how to infiltrate the Surveillance Tower.
PS3: Semria's surveillance is not popular, cameras are only in their infancy, and no one will use cameras for surveillance except for Lien, a traverser. (To be continued.) )
