Chapter 0237: The Edge of Death
The road comes from the valley on the right-hand side, passing through the checkpoint in front of him. Because the grass and shrubs are so thick, the improvised road is not visible at all.
According to the plan, artillery fire will fall on the opposite hill at that time, and the various detachments that are lurking will suddenly appear to occupy the commanding heights in three directions. Missiles will hover around this area and automatically look for targets, according to the battalion commander.
This thing is so divine? Forward in deep suspicion, I feel that it is not reliable at all.
The secret sentinel monitoring the movement in the valley was a threat to him, and the two were only about ten meters apart.
The guy was covered with grass, and he was spotted by looking a short distance down the ground. There were several logs lying horizontally around him, which were used as cover for firefights. The man next to him simply held his gun on one end of the log, pointing it at that side, the barrel of which was pointed high from the angle of the forward point.
He was the first to see the barrel of the guy's gun, and then he searched down the log and found the person across from him.
Fortunately, the man was just lying on his stomach like that, and he hadn't been spotted yet. Maybe this guy didn't sleep well all night, and he's asleep right now. He was motionless, like a dead man. But he didn't dare to be careless when he moved forward, and he didn't intend to test it.
He stared at the dark sentry in front of him, and cautiously moved a little further to the right, wanting to get away from the bushes around him, and continued to climb forward for a while, and went over to see the movement in the sentry room.
It's a key place, and if necessary, we should get a bazooka there as soon as possible. As long as a rocket penetrates through the hatch and explodes, there is no way for many people inside to escape.
Avoiding sparse grass and a bare rock, he continued to crawl forward.
It was going well all the time, and he advanced another meter.
It is estimated that it is less than seven meters away from the dark whistle, and I wonder if it is closer to moving forward? I was nervously thinking, no, at this moment a sentry appeared in front of the sentry room, holding a gun near a small tree next to the sentry room.
From his vantage point, only half of his body could be seen due to the obstruction of vegetation.
The foxhole he had seen by the bushes a little behind was gone, and the sentry was gone, and he judged that it was because the branches of the bushes in front of him were too thick to see. That guy must still be there, and he won't go back to rest or find him.
It was still quiet, and he looked nervously through the gap in the grass and bushes at the enemy sentry who was standing with only half of his body exposed. Suddenly the guy walked around and passed a little. Now he can only be seen vaguely. It's impossible to estimate what weapon this guy is wielding, how old he is, how tall and how much he weighs.
You can't go any further, it's too dangerous to go forward.
You can't climb up. The gentle slope on the right is a deadly place and cannot be climbed. If you go up, you will definitely become a live target, and you must be under the surveillance of that light and dark sentinel.
At some point, the battalion commander came with the capture team, and he wanted to inspect the spot in person. His heart was ten thousand times more anxious than moving forward, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and he had to deploy a capture point immediately! Time waits for no one, who knows when that guy will show up? In desperation, he could only take the risk of conducting on-site investigations and then distributing troops.
Since I entered here in the middle of last night, no one else has appeared. Now it is necessary to get everything in order and get into the battle position before it gets dark or the fog clears.
The enemy patrols the perimeter very tightly, and it is already a miracle that everyone can infiltrate smoothly. As for not being able to enter the combat position, there are practical difficulties, which cannot be solved by brute force. Just like now, it is not easy to be in front of the enemy's eyelids as you must be careful not to alarm anyone.
The battalion commander descended the valley with a group of captives and told them to stay in the valley, while the infiltration group climbed the gentle slope to the left. The order just now suddenly came down, and the operation was about to start in half an hour! When he received this order, his head suddenly boomed, as if it was about to explode, and he felt that his eyes were blank.
He was not familiar with the terrain yet, and in his anxiety, he wanted to go down the mountain and up to the front protrusion of the opposite hill to get first-hand information about the terrain. Occupying it will allow you to control the coming and going of the entire road, and you can effectively monitor the checkpoint room below and the high ground opposite.
According to his deployment, as soon as they gave a security signal there, the control team set up machine guns and blocked the exit road to block the possible pursuit from the valley behind. There were less than thirty minutes left, and now only the front protrusion that occupied that ridge was king.
Due to anxiety and nervousness, the battalion commander led the people almost panting as they crawled. Just as the battalion commander climbed uphill to pass along the edge of the woods, the early morning sky seemed to roll over the thunder, followed by a low, clear howl overhead, and a huge explosion resounded on the mountainside ahead.
As he moved forward, he felt a flash of light in the fog, and the ground shook beneath him, followed by several more heavy howitzers, smashing down on the open area at the junction of the valleys in front of him.
In an instant, the checkroom was overturned, and a log was tossed with smoke and fire under the clusters of branches and leaves, and then fell down and fell on the other logs with a clatter.
It was the artillery firing a test firing, and after the explosion, there was a sudden sound of a fierce gunfight in the valley on the right, muffled, accompanied by all kinds of hysterical roars. Too close, the cry of the decisive battle drifted out in the fierce gunfire, shaking people's eardrums.
There is a walkie-talkie nearby who is shouting at the impact point to correct the data.
Fierce gunfights also sounded on the opposite hill, and part of the enemy troops tried to rush down from the hill to join the battle at the bottom of the valley. A group of scouts lurking at the foot of the hill was approaching, struggling to resist the enemy's condescending onslaught. For a while, there seemed to be a constant explosion of grenades everywhere, and the screams of people when they were shot sounded terrifying.
The sound of machine guns on the front protrusion of this ridge also rang out, and with automatic rifle fire, the bullets were dense like rain, pouring down on the opposite hill, forming a blockade line. Soon the sound of the infantry crew calling for the artillery was gone, drowned out by the sound of machine guns on the ridge and the explosion of grenades in front.
Through the smoke of gunpowder, I saw that the branches of the trees on the opposite mountainside were constantly broken by bullets, and people were constantly rolling down from the grass. But the enemy's gunfire did not stop, and the enemies who rolled down with strange screams did not know whether they were shot or rushed down desperately.
The battalion commander did not reach the place he wanted to occupy, he did not touch the edge of the woods again, knowing that there were already his own people in control, so he hurried back and deployed the captive force. Everything came so fast that everyone seemed to have a problem with coordination.
At the very least, they don't know who they are, they don't have any contact with each other, but they go their own way.
Fortunately, in the flash of the battalion commander's mind, he understood that the current situation only required to take care of his own one-third of an acre. Moving forward, I heard him shouting loudly as he ran down the slope over there, telling the control team to hurry up the hill to the right! Occupy that big rock, mount machine guns, and block down.
Zhang Wenwen followed the people of the control group and quickly ran towards the hill on the right, they were originally hiding on the hill on the right, and due to the unfamiliar terrain, they had not yet set up a firing position. This sudden outbreak of battle caught everyone off guard. The boulder in front of you has a smooth top and is easy to go up to, and you can mount a machine gun.
At this time, when I got the order, I was in a hurry, and I wished that I could fire in one step and set up the machine gun. Everyone ran there desperately, rolling and crawling in the grass on the slope, and their breathing was very heavy.
Two enemy soldiers came up in front of them and appeared on the ridge. Glancing forward, I saw a shuttle let go.
Zhang Wenwen also shot two shots, shouting in his mouth: "Rush over!" Fast! Fast! Fast! ”
By seizing the high point there, you can control most of the situation.
Enemies kept popping up from below, and looking over, behind them was an empty white mist, and people seemed to rise from the horizon. Everyone ran and fired, rushing desperately, to seize the high point and set up machine guns, so as to block the open area below.
Obviously, the enemy was ambushed, and they also saw this place and wanted to seize it. People fall down and rush up again, and they are all extremely tenacious.
Everywhere there were gunshots, and in this small mountain valley, everyone was facing death, and no one dared to guarantee that they would live to the next second without any doubt. A stray bullet, a piece of shrapnel, and a bayonet can kill you in an instant.
After the test firing of the shell just now, the rumbling in the ears of the forward was non-stop, and the explosion was too close. He got up and ran two steps with his waist down. He saw the enemy in the foxhole again, the one facing him was already bloody and the other was still lying on his stomach, he quickly fired two shots, and the sentry remained motionless, presumably returning to the west with his companion at the first test of the artillery.
The crater was doubled in size by shells on the edges, and the dirt that formed the new crater was covered with the old one, and half of the bodies of the two sentries were covered by the dirt.
Smoke was still rising from the collapsed outpost room, and the bodies, hands and feet of enemy soldiers, as well as guns, were exposed from the scattered logs that had been blown up. Especially those bodies, hands and feet, the first time they saw the past, some of them were bloody and terrifying.
In a hurry, everything seemed to be messy. Gunshots, explosions, groans, roars...... There is only one thing in heaven and earth that all people at this time desire the most, and that is one word: life. Survival is the instinctive reaction of everyone in a close-range fight.
Each other has only one thought of killing each other, and they will not hesitate for half a second.
