Chapter 193: Attack
We walked about a few kilometres upstream along the waterway, which was barely a small river, and then chose a relatively steep rock face, and then hooked a tree above the rock wall with a rope.
In order not to leave too obvious marks, we climbed almost exclusively on our arms, keeping our feet as far away from the rock wall as possible, so as not to form obvious climbing marks on the rock wall.
One by one, the twelve of us climbed the rock wall with both hands on the rope and carefully observed the surrounding situation again. In fact, almost all of these stones at the water's edge are some algae organisms formed by the erosion of the current, and if someone walks over them, the traces will be extremely obvious, but from the current situation, there are no unnatural traces on the stones and rock walls, which can only show two points, first, those people in the "whetstone" squadron do the same as we thought, leaving no traces for us to discover. But, in a real sense, they're the real attackers, and it's still their rear, so there's no need for them to do that. Second, no one has been here at all! That's why the natural traces here are so intact and not damaged in the slightest!
After some observation and analysis, all of our team members have decided that the second conjecture is that this place has not been visited by the "Whetstone" squadron for the time being, so it is safe for the time being.
In order to avoid casualties and retain the greatest vital force to maximize the damage to the enemy, we still sent two guard sentry members to guard on our north and south sides in a diagonal shape, and the remaining ten team members formed a circle under the greeting of the members of the command team and began to observe the map in their hands.
"Comrades, look here!" A member of the command team pointed to a red dot on the map and said to us: "Comrades, this is where we met the patrol of the 'Whetstone' squadron before. And this point is obviously an important command or material base for them, which means that with this point as the center, a large number of patrols will definitely be deployed around him, but there are only twelve of us, if we go to carry out a surprise attack on them, and then move here, that is, successfully reach the outer line, maybe it will be successful, but our casualty ratio will definitely be very large! ”
Listening to the words of the members of the command team, we were as deep as ever. This seems to have become a habit of our squad, or rather, it has become a habit of the vast majority of special operations squads. When a situation arises, or the current situation is put in front of us, or if there is any battle strategy idea put forward, all the team members will participate in thinking, and by no means stay where they are, waiting for orders and instructions, as is the case with conventional troops, or in other words, this can be regarded as the difference between special operations forces and conventional forces, after all, special operations forces must achieve overall strategy behind enemy lines, and if they hesitate a little, they may bring about a catastrophe.
"Is there such a possibility?" Just as we were all in the midst of such a contemplative process, one of the members of the fire support team suddenly opened his mouth, and the attention and gaze of the remaining eleven members of our team were instantly focused on him.
Seeing that we were all looking at him, he picked up a small branch from the ground, folded it a few times, and compared it to the map and drew a simple diagram on the ground.
"Look here!" After the member of the fire support team had finished drawing the diagram, he pointed to another point less than five kilometers from the point we had just passed.
"If nothing else, there should be a lot of patrols in this place, and there may be a lot of traps and other things, but between these two points, the distance is a full five kilometers, and even if you run with all your might, it will take at least half an hour in the mountains and forests!" The member of the fire support team said as he looked at all of us.
"You mean, through the middle?" One of the members of the command team seemed to understand what the team member meant, and then answered.
"That's right! But only some people can pass through! We may need to lose some of our players before we can join forces with the squad in the training camp. When he said this, the member of the fire support team obviously felt a little lost, perhaps, even in a real battle, he would not have such a feeling, but this is a drill, this is an assessment, this is elimination! It is very likely that the lost team members will be eliminated, and thus lose the qualification to eventually become members of the special operations team directly under the headquarters.
However, even so, for the smooth implementation of the final battle plan, someone among us must stand up at this time, because, at this moment, we no longer represent ourselves, but represent the squad we belong to, and represent the training camp of the special operations brigade we belong to!
"I understand what you mean, you mean that there must be players on both sides to attract fire, so as to cover the main body of our squad to pass through the middle of the two points, so as to reach the outside line smoothly, and then launch an attack, right?" The member of the command team patted the member of the fire support team on the shoulder, and then nodded.
"Hmm......" The member of the fire support team whispered an "um", his words full of that kind of loss. Yes, if there is a team member who takes on such a task, then it means leaving. It is true that there is a certain competition between us, but who of us would want to watch their teammates leave in such a situation, or "sacrifice" for themselves and for the sake of the squad.
"Alas, well, since we have reached this point, we have no choice, in order to complete the task, for the ultimate victory, we must make a choice!" The member of the command team also looked down and sighed, then looked at each of our faces before speaking to us.
After his words were finished, each of us secretly exhaled, but none of us showed any expression of unwillingness or resistance, because we all know that we are all soldiers, as long as the task requires, let alone what is eliminated, even if it is sacrifice, it is also our duty to need!
"I am a party member, I take the lead, and I will come first in this task of attracting firepower! Who else! I need another person! The member of the command team looked at us and suddenly said something very serious.
"Hey, I'll go, what's the matter, what kind of party member is this kind of thing, count me in!" A member of the reconnaissance team lifted the steel helmet on his head, spoke, and took a step forward.
"Don't, this kind of thing is so exciting, where can I be missing, I don't care, I have to go to this thing!"
"I'll go too!"
"And me!"
......
After someone took the lead, almost everyone rushed to express their willingness to be such a firepower attraction candidate. Of course, in fact, each of us knows that none of these players want to leave, but we want to win this time.
"Old rule, draw lots." Just after we had all expressed our wishes, one of the team members made such an offer.
Soon, the person in charge of attracting enemy fire was chosen, and I don't know if I was too lucky or unlucky, but I was one of them.
Like me, the team member who also drew to attract the enemy's firepower was also very excited, as if he was showing off, holding up the sign in his hand for everyone to see, but although we both showed excitement and laughed very happily, there was no sadness and bitterness in our hearts, because we knew that even if it wasn't the two of us, someone would definitely go, because we were soldiers!
Just when the two of us seemed to be showing off, none of the remaining team members showed any jealousy or happiness, but looked at the two of us very heavy one by one.
"Okay, I'm going to create an opportunity for you, not to send you to death, if labor and management attract the enemy's firepower, and you haven't been able to complete the mission, don't say it's my brother!" The player who won the draw with me patted the shoulders of several players around him and said.
"Hey, hey, what about me, I'll tell you, brother, I don't have any other skills, running away is first-class, I'll tell you, as soon as the gunshots sound over there, you guys will act quickly, we'll see you after the battle!" I listened to the words of the team member and spoke impassionedly to the rest of the team members.
The two of us fell silent, as if we were really going to battle, and there was a sadness in the silence.
"All of them! Check the weapons and ammunition! The silence of the scene was finally broken by the order of the member of the command team.
"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!" ......
A series of bolt pulling sounds continued to sound, and then each of the remaining team members also took off a grenade from their bodies and handed it to the hands of the two of us, and then one after another, saluted to the two of us separately, no one spoke, no one lingered, there was only silent action between comrades, the two of us took the grenades handed over by each team member, and then returned the salute one by one, collected the grenades handed by all the team members, and returned the military salute of each team member, the two of us looked at each other and smiled, Then he didn't speak, and immediately ran away in the opposite direction, because we all knew that the real attack was about to begin!
