Chapter 177: Building a Position
After moving everything to his car, Lin Dong got a map map of Younis's march from Ah Mao's hand, and then the two sides parted ways.
The next thing will depend on Lin Dong and their Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, and Ah Mao can only go back and wait for news.
There was still a day and a half before the time for the Eunice meeting in Benghazi, and by this time the dispatch from the National Council of Benghazi had already been sent to Brega.
In Lindong's original world, General Abdou Fattah Younis, the commander of the Libyan opposition, was assassinated in Benghazi on July 28.
The opposition recalled Younis from the front Brega on the grounds that he wanted to ask about "military matters".
However, Younis was assassinated before he arrived in Benghazi.
According to eyewitnesses, the killers came from the opposition coalition "February 17 Martyrs Brigade", a group of hundreds of armed civilians. Younis was detained in a military camp near Benghazi pending questioning.
At that moment, two men suddenly shot at Younis, shouting that Younis was a traitor and had killed their father.
The two men's superiors shouted "don't shoot", but it was too late, and the two men drove away from the scene after moving the bodies of Younis and two of his entourage into a car.
Later, the members of the "2.17 Martyrs Brigade" said that they had evidence that Younis was a "traitor" and that "the truth would be revealed in a few days" and so on.
If Lin Dong could understand these things before crossing over, then this time the matter would actually be much easier to understand.
This is simply the result of a secret contest within the opposition, or rather, among those NATO countries behind it.
As a commander of the opposition, Younis was pro-French in his views.
Moreover, in this war in Villa, although it is said that there is the support of NATO countries behind it, there is also no peace within NATO countries.
For example, on June 22, Italian Foreign Minister Fratini called on Libya to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible so that humanitarian relief could be delivered to the country.
Britain and France, on the other hand, did not approve, and even "scoffed". This incident shows that there is already a public disagreement within NATO members about the operation against Libya.
And in this war, France has been very active, and even the president of France has personally expressed his support for the opposition provisional regime in Benghazi.
And the reason why Brega can see that a squadron of the French Foreign Legion spares no effort to help Younis shows that Younis is close to France.
But other countries are also represented in Libya.
This so-called opposition National Council is a combination of forces representing different cities, tribes, etc., and its own internal contradictions are fraught with contradictions.
This is also the reason why, in the case of gaining the upper hand, the opposition forces will be defeated by Zafiq's government forces.
Many cities have changed hands several times, and even if they can be captured, they will not be able to gain a foothold under the attack of government forces.
Just like the current Misrata, this is the third time that the opposition has taken it, but in the end, no one can guarantee whether it will be able to hold it.
Even if they have NATO fighters bombing from time to time as an auxiliary!
Of course, Lin Dong didn't know these things, and as a mercenary who took money and worked hard, it was really not his turn to worry about this kind of thing.
With the strength of the dragon soul, it can't change the situation of a war.
Unless he waits for a certain future, Lin Dong can develop his mercenary group to the level of Blackwater in the United States, EO in South Africa, and IZO in Israel.
At this time, Lin Dong was leading his team to find a suitable sniper location on the route that Younis was about to pass by.
And this time they also need to prepare their positions in advance, otherwise the firepower of hundreds of people on the other side, as long as they suppress their five people, and then come to a charge, then they will all be finished.
However, this location is not easy to choose, first of all, you need to find a high ground that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and you also need this position to be able to completely block the opponent and not escape.
So in this case, it's best to be able to find a canyon terrain.
But apparently this terrain is not easy to find in the plains.
In the end, Lin Dong and the others finally reluctantly found a place that was relatively suitable.
The site was chosen at the former peak of a cliff mountain.
The whole peak is not very high, only less than 100 meters. According to Lin Dong's plan, there were two boulders on both sides of the peak in front of the cliff mountain, and as long as the convoy of Younis and his party entered the attack range, they would first blow up the boulders and block the front and back retreats.
In this way, their only choice is to get out of the car, then they will inevitably be exposed to the attack.
And I have anti-materiel sniper rifles that can shoot through wild cars, as well as a lot of RPG rockets.
It's not just the twenty provided by Ah Mao, you must know that Lin Dong and they also captured two launchers and 5 rockets from the Blood Demon Mercenary Group.
When the time comes, the five of them will be the first to come to the last round, and it will definitely be a dozen blockbusters!
Of course, although this terrain is conducive to Lin Dong and them to launch an ambush, there are also great shortcomings in defense.
Because the terrain on both sides of this cliff is not very steep, as long as the other party reacts in the first round of blows, launches a full-scale attack, and spreads out the entire formation, then Lin Dong and the five of them will be uncomfortable.
Therefore, if they want to complete the task smoothly and protect themselves and others, then they must build their positions in advance, at least with good protection capabilities.
When the opponent rushes or fires, he will not be pressed and can't raise his head.
Because of the small number of people, the most important thing they should avoid is being suppressed by the opponent's firepower.
As for why not fight with them, this option can only be chosen after successfully killing the target and completing the mission.
Otherwise, when you are being chased by the other party, what should you do if the goal passes directly, and everything is not wasted?
After determining the ambush site, Lin Dong and the five began to busily build their positions. The first is Wall's sniper position.
The main task of this kind of sniping is the sniper Wall. And because of the height of the peak, they are only less than two hundred meters away from the road below, which is completely within the range of the opponent's firepower, so as a sniper, Wall, they need a strong sniper position!
After most of the day's work, a slightly rudimentary position finally appeared on the mountain.
