Chapter 828: Tightly defended
Suddenly, Hong Tao and Qidong's eyes suddenly lifted upward, and at the same time raised their right hands to the surrounding team members, and then waved them in two different directions. Dark shadows stood silently on the originally dark hillside, quickly running in both directions, and disappeared into the vast night in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Wan Lin and several people had already approached the valley mouth, and several people were lying on the slope of the mountain four or five hundred meters away from the valley mouth, carefully observing the canyon in front.
At both ends of the canyon stood a long dragon-like black shadow, stretching zigzagged into the distance in the dark night, and the narrow valley mouth was like a big grinning mouth, fiercely facing Wanlin and a few people.
A large river with a faint white light coiled behind the mountain behind them, and slowly flowed down the foot of the mountain into the gaping mouth in front of them, like a rainbow swallowed by a dark dragon.
Wan Lin quietly lay down in the weeds to observe the surrounding environment, and then pointed the night vision binoculars at the mouth of the valley at the foot of the mountain. There is a cliff hundreds of meters high on both sides of the valley mouth, like two black screens to the valley mouth, only a large crack of more than 100 meters wide is left between the canyon valley mouth and the big river, next to the big river is a road more than ten meters wide, and the river of more than 100 meters wide extends side by side to the valley.
There are low huts on each side of the valley road, and a fence runs across the middle of the road. Under the night vision goggles, a few swaying red figures can be faintly seen under the hut.
Wan Lin moved the night vision telescope shadow to the side slope of the valley, the south slope of the valley is densely forested, faintly visible in the dense forest of the hillside of some red figures, and the north slope can also see a lot of red figures, obviously there are a large number of guards in the valley mouth on the side slope.
Wan Lin knew that from the defensive posture, the enemy would definitely have to deploy a large number of troops at the entrance of this canyon, which was the only way to enter the canyon, if the mountain behind him was the enemy's first defensive front, then this narrow valley mouth was their second defensive position, just forming a high and low defensive posture with the mountains outside the valley.
Wan Lin sighed in his heart, this is indeed a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder Ao Kun and his gang have placed their base camp here. From the perspective of transportation, large quantities of drugs can be transported out smoothly by land and water; Even if the enemy blocks the mouth of the valley outside the valley, the abundant fresh water and forest resources in the valley can also ensure that they can maintain the necessary living supplies for a long time.
Wan Lin and the others looked at the dangerous terrain of the valley mouth and the tight defense in front of them, and they all frowned slightly, judging from the current situation, it is really more difficult to enter the canyon in concealment than to ascend to the sky!
Just as a few people were thinking about how to enter the canyon, Wan Lin suddenly heard a slight tapping sound from the earphones, which was the enemy alarm issued by Zhang Wa, who was monitoring the surroundings. Wan Lin was startled, and quickly put his face on the grass on the hillside, and then faintly heard the sound of the grass being disturbed on the hillside behind, and the two leopards beside him had also turned around and looked at the hillside behind.
Wan Lin slowly turned his body across the hillside, and looked sideways at the hillside behind him, several swaying figures were slowly walking towards him from the side hillside, looking carefully, it was actually the same patrol team of six people as the patrol team that had just been eliminated.
Obviously, due to the large area of this mountain, the enemy commander divided the mountain into several warning areas, and several patrols were responsible for their own patrol areas. Wan Lin lightly tapped the microphone a few times, and ordered Cheng Ru and the others not to act rashly, and never alarm the enemy unless they had to.
This hillside directly faces the canyon, and it is completely within the sight of the defenders of the canyon, and the slightest mistake will alarm the defenders in the valley or on the mountain.
Wan Lin gently pressed the two leopards, and slowly lay his body sideways in the grass on the hillside, his body pressed tightly to the ground, his face pressed sideways in the grass to watch at several enemies who were getting closer and closer, and he already held a steel needle in his hand.
The enemy's figure was getting closer and closer, and the sound of trampling on the weeds under their feet sounded in everyone's ears, and Wan Lin and several people held their breath nervously. "Ka", a big foot standing on the dirt suddenly appeared in front of Wan Lin's eyes, the smell of fresh soil on the boots clearly penetrated into Wan Lin's nostrils, Wan Lin pressed the two leopards tightly, for fear that they would not be able to bear it and rush out.
"Hmph", the boots slowly pulled up from Wan Lin's eyes, kicked away the grass in front of him and stepped forward. At this time, Wan Lin's hearts seemed to have stopped beating, the wind knife was tightly holding two flying knives in his hands, and Cheng Ru and Zhang Wa's right hands were tightly holding the saber handles.
The footsteps of "swish" gradually faded away, and Wanlin and several people let out a long breath. It was too dangerous just now, and the enemy's footsteps were walking close to their side, and if they deviated a little, they would step on them, and then they couldn't even do it without thinking about it.
Wan Lin quietly listened to the enemy's footsteps, until the footsteps merged with the sound of the rain, and then quietly raised his head to look at the hillside where the enemy was walking, and several enemy backs were walking towards the top of the mountain, apparently completing the patrol mission and returning to the camp on the mountain.
Wan Lin was stunned for a moment, originally thinking that the enemy's patrol was sent from the canyon, but he didn't expect that they actually came down from the top of the mountain to patrol the surrounding area. From this it was inferred that there should have been an enemy camp on the top of the hill, and the number of people there should have been more than a hundred.
This is an important piece of information, and it must be reported to Qidong, who are carrying out the task of capturing the top of the mountain, so that they can be fully mentally prepared. Wan Lin whispered into the microphone: "Qidong, Qidong", followed by a gentle knock sound in Wan Lin's earphones, and the other party said that it had received.
"It is speculated that the enemy on the hill outside the canyon is at least more than a hundred, probably a company-level establishment," Wan Lin then said softly, and the Qidong side obviously paused before responding to a knock. Wan Lin knew that Qidong was approaching the top of the mountain with his group, and he did not answer with a voice, indicating that he had approached the top of the mountain in concealment, and the situation he reported obviously surprised him.
Originally, it was predicted that the garrison enemy on this hill would only have a few dozen people at most, and the enemy would defend the canyon, and most of his troops should be deployed in the valley.
From this point of view, whether they can seize the commanding heights of the mountain after the battle starts depends on whether Qidong can use the cover of night to stealthily approach the top of the mountain, and then unexpectedly annihilate the enemy on the top of the mountain several times their own by virtue of the combat elements of the team.
Once the surprise attack fails, Qidong and his party will have to confront the enemy on the hillside, and the enemy in the valley will quickly send reinforcements, and then Qidong's group will face the dangerous dilemma of being attacked on their backs.
