Chapter 552: The Caterpillar Dispatches
The march was extremely slow, and in two hours, it had traveled less than 3 kilometers.
Moreover, something even more troublesome came, Wei Liming on the right hand found the hanging wood, and Tie Zemu on the left found a trap!
Clues such as footprints, cigarette butts, and rope nooses kept appearing, and more and more dangers lurked in them, and Xu Fei had to signal everyone to stop.
The crossing point can already be faintly seen in front of you, and there is a shrub branch on the opposite bank, which is very easy to sneak over, but who knows what the situation is over there?
They were now in an awkward position, with countless mines, traps, and hanging logs in front of them, with enemy garrisons in Area 2 on the left and the Komadouguna River on the right front.
There aren't many options left for them!
Forced crossing? Break in? Or go back and choose option 3?
Xu Fei weighed it, they were going to save people, and they had to get out of the way, there was still a little time so far, there was no need to trap everyone in it.
In this case, it is not necessarily a good thing to move forward rashly!
He chose option 3.
At the sound of the order, everyone had to return the same way, and after leaving a certain distance, they found a safe place to rest for a while.
Xu Fei ate some dry food, drank saliva, and dug a pit to fill the garbage, trying not to leave any traces of his visit.
While thinking in his heart, the other party was thoughtful, judging from the first two plans, there were almost no defensive blind spots, and the No. 3 line did not dare to guarantee and was not armed.
If this situation continues, even if it is barely passed in the end, it will delay a lot of time, and from now to the stipulated response time, there is only less than 50 hours, which seems to be enough, but excluding the time for reconnaissance, maneuvering, waiting, and rescue and retreat, there is less than 12 hours of room for the full fight!
This is still under the condition that everything goes well, in case there is something unexpected, I am afraid that this mission will be scrapped!
Do you want to think again?
He didn't swallow a mouthful of water, but his eyes were fixed on the map.
At this time, Joya leaned over with an unknown stalk of grass in her mouth. He found a place to sit down next to Xu Fei and said:
"Flying pigeon, it doesn't look like Route 3 is not quite right."
"Hmm." Xu Fei swallowed the water and snorted from his nose, the situation was more difficult than he imagined.
He said: "I didn't expect the other party to be so cautious and start setting up an ambush from such a distance. I think maybe we need to adjust our plans. ”
"Any ideas?" Joya asked.
Xu Fei shook his head and said, "Not yet." What do you think? ”
"I also feel like I need to tweak it. However, I think that the fact that the other side has placed the front line of defense so far away may indicate a problem......"
"What's the problem?" Xu Fei immediately asked rhetorically.
Joya chuckled and didn't answer right away, but said, "Do you know the egg?" There is a shell on the outside that wraps the egg white protein on the inside. ”
"You mean their defenses are tight on the outside and loose on the inside?"
"It's just possible. Many of the thunder traps in front of them were only set up. It shows that the other party's vigilance is not so strong all the time! Our special operations team has been here in the early stage, probably to give them a wake-up call! ”
"So what?"
"So, they must have been on high alert for the past two days and I think we need to slow down. The more time passes, the more the other party's vigilance is lowered! ”
"But we don't have much time!"
"Yes! But I think that's enough. Assuming that the enemy started yesterday, then the day after tomorrow at the latest, before the deadline of our mission, two days and three nights, which is not enough for the average person! ”
Xu Fei nodded and said, "That makes sense." In other words, we can try to put it off until the last minute! ”
"Yes!" Joya chewed on the grass stalks, "If after two days, the enemy does not make adjustments, it is time for us to act." On the contrary, if the other party makes an adjustment, then during the adjustment period, it will inevitably give us a chance! So, no matter what, we have to seize that moment! But first, you have to cross the river! ”
"How's it going?" Xu Fei asked rhetorically.
Joya looked in the direction of the river, his gaze was so deep that he couldn't see anything because of the trees.
"I'd like to scout first. Go alone! Up the trees! He said.
"Hmm......" Xu Fei pondered for a moment, "Okay! But I'm not worried about you going alone, I'll go with you. Let's go our separate ways. ”
"So what about this side? Dading come with me! Joya said.
"Nope! I have to do this! Xu Fei said categorically, "This side will be handed over to the Iron Wolf first." Conceal in place. ”
Tetsusawa with AUG is also a good conductor.
Joya thought about it and agreed. The two of them exchanged a few words, then got up and walked towards the river.
Near the river, Xu Fei distanced himself from Joya and stomped towards his right hand. Joya found a tall, concealed tree and quickly reached the middle of the tree.
Gently poking out the muzzle of the gun, he looked through the scope from between the branches and leaves towards the opposite bank.
There was silence over there, with the occasional wind blowing and the leaves gently sizzling. But Joya knows that there is an unknown danger lurking there.
After crossing the river, it is necessary to reach the other party's camp, and there are still two or three kilometers away, which will be an extremely dangerous journey!
About ten meters away from the river, there is a relatively flat meadow, and beyond that, there is a mixture of trees and vines.
At the edge of the meadow, the terrain rises as the ridge winds its way up to the top, which is steeper on the other side, and is obscured by small trees.
Not spotting the enemy for the time being, he adjusted his direction slightly, moving the scope along the ridge to the summit.
It was just past 4 p.m., and the sun's rays were unbridled on the mountain.
Somewhere near the top of the mountain, a sudden flash of reflection flashed.
"Attention Pigeon! There is a sniper in the saddle at 2 o'clock! He replied softly.
"Roger!" Xu Fei's slight response came from the headset.
Qiao Ya was a little relieved, this side was Shunguang, and it was on the tree, and the branches and leaves were covered, he was not afraid of being discovered by the other party, but he was a little worried about Xu Fei, he didn't know Xu Fei's specific location.
Xu Fei received Qiao Ya's report, adjusted the direction slightly, and used the branches to block that direction and crawled forward. Carefully come to a bush and gently pluck the branches and leaves, and the river is not far in front of you!
I looked along the river to the left, and at the end of the line of sight, I could vaguely see two large trees standing side by side on the river!
It's an easy single-plank bridge!
No wonder the other side will set up an ambush on the side of Route 2!
Xu Fei secretly complained, it was also a coincidence, he didn't expect the other party to build a bridge there to cross the river in advance!
He adjusted his position and observed the direction on his right, the river was slightly wider, and there was no place to cross the river, so it seemed that he could only dive through?
The caterpillar was gently popped out by him, and he tried to get the caterpillar to swim through, but failed!
The current in the river is not fast, but it is enough for the caterpillar, and it is washed downstream as soon as it gets out of the water, and it keeps sinking!
All right......
Xu Fei had no choice but to manipulate the caterpillar to go ashore and began to crawl along the river bank to the left hand. The speed is not fast, and he hides in the grass to try not to attract the attention of the other side.
After about ten minutes, the caterpillar successfully crossed the river from the single-plank bridge and began to climb along the opposite bank. At this time, Joya's message came: "How's the situation?" ”
"Nothing found! What about you? ”
"At 10 o'clock, about 100 meters from the shore, there is a lurking post! At 11 o'clock, on a small tree trunk, there is a suspected infrared sensor. Nothing else has been found yet. ”
"Keep watching."
"Well, you have to be careful! There may be more than one sniper on the other side! Joya reminded.
"Roger. I'll find them! Xu Fei is full of confidence.
"We hope you can surprise us!" Joyce said.
"I will. Wait for my news! Xu Fei responded, and as he spoke, the caterpillar was about to return to the edge of the grass directly opposite him.
On the other side of the bank there are dense plants, which provides good cover for the caterpillar, so it crawls a little faster.
