Chapter 143: Artillery Position (I)

When he knew that he and the others were likely to find the opponent's artillery position, Lin Dong became excited.

The five of them followed the traces left by the convoy all the way and began the long journey at night.

Although all of them have physical strength beyond ordinary people, it is still unrealistic to really catch up with the moving car.

So in just ten minutes, they couldn't even see the shadow of the convoy.

The rest of the journey can only be relied on Sophie's scouting.

However, it is not easy to really scout and track the convoy. Because in some places, it is obvious that there are more vehicles coming and going, and the traces left are also very messy.

After about four hours, the moon had set in the sky, and the sky gradually appeared white, and they finally found their destination.

It was a small, low-lying basin, or an oasis.

The basin is less than five kilometers in circumference, with a flowing river in the middle, which is why it forms a jungle-like green space.

"Will their artillery really be placed in such a place?" Lin Dong said with some skepticism.

"Why not? It is very hidden, well suited for the concealment of artillery. Sophie said.

"Well, I thought the artillery positions were generally at high places, like a high ground or something."

Ben, who was standing on the sidelines, explained: "Boss, the artillery position is set up depending on the situation, and not everyone likes to be placed on high ground.

The role of the high ground is not mainly what ordinary people think, standing high will definitely shoot far.

The general high ground is less than a few hundred meters higher, and even if it has an extra firing range of several hundred meters, it is nothing for artillery for more than ten or even tens of kilometers.

And it is easy for the infantry to climb the mountain, but if those guns of several tons want to be dragged up the mountain, it will be too difficult.

In addition to light artillery such as mortars and mountain artillery, other howitzers and cannons, such as other howitzers, cannons, etc., are generally not sent to the mountains with great effort.

The advantage of going up the hill is that you can improve the shooting range.

But this factor rarely comes into play. More often than not, the purpose of going up the mountain is to use the anti-slope of the mountain to arrange artillery positions to prevent enemy shelling.

When you're on the back side of a mountain, enemy rocket launchers and cannons with low stretches will have a hard time reaching the back of the mountain.

In fact, in combat, large artillery cannot go up the mountain, and positions are arranged at the foot of the mountain. ”

Lin Dong nodded knowingly.

Sophie next to her also opened her mouth to add a few words.

"The Brega we are in now is in the north of Villa, and the terrain of this generation is a low-altitude plain that is rare in Villa, and it is not easy to find a suitable place to hide the artillery positions.

This low-lying small basin, although not the most suitable location for selection of positions in all respects, is much more concealed than other places.

And it shouldn't be too far from the battlefield on the Brega front, so it's not unusual to choose this as an artillery position. ”

Lin Dong nodded and said, "Okay, but if we want to figure out the situation, it seems that we still have to go in."

But now that it's about to dawn, even if the terrain in this basin is complicated and full of trees for us to hide, it is still a bit unrealistic to enter people's positions during the day, so it seems that we need to lurk in it for a day and wait until the night to act. ”

The other four all nodded, this kind of thing was not a big deal, and the disguise lurking was not unfamiliar to them.

…………

The breeze blew through the jungle, and the leaves rattled.

At this time, Lin Dong and the five of them had already found a hidden place to lurk, waiting for the night to come again.

"Even though it's jungle, there's a dry smell in the air."

Wall's voice reached the ears of the other four from the communicator headset.

Sophie didn't say a word about this, which was also her usual style, and she would occasionally say a few words to Lin Dong unless necessary.

Villa is a country full of deserts and Gobi, and even though it is close to the ocean, when the sea breeze blows here, the moisture in the air has disappeared.

At this time, Lin Dong's body was hiding in a bush, and his camouflage skills had also reached the intermediate level, so as long as he didn't really stand by and observe, he wouldn't find that there was still a person hiding here.

"Wall, pay attention to the enemy's situation and stop gossiping."

The place where Wall was hiding was the most peculiar, for he was on top of a large tree that the two of them were hugging each other, and it was the largest tree in the entire forest.

Wall's entire body was attached to a thick branch, his body tied to a tree to keep himself from falling, and he covered his figure with dense foliage, and then kept an eye on the artillery positions they had found through his binoculars.

To be honest, this position was really uncomfortable, but now Wall has been holding it all morning.

At this time, the five of them were only five hundred meters away from the position, and Wall could clearly see a corner of their position through the telescope at a high place.

"Don't worry, boss, talking doesn't affect my observation, otherwise I'm afraid I'll really fall asleep."

Lin Dong smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more, after all, speaking might be able to make Wall feel a little better in the next time.

As long as it doesn't go unnoticed by the patrolling soldiers.

Zafiq's government forces really defended their artillery positions very well, and even in such a secluded place, they still sent quite a few patrols to patrol the jungle.

In the morning, there were already five patrols in this direction that passed through Lin Dong and they were lurking.

But fortunately, their patrol team didn't bring military dogs or anything, and with these soldiers alone, they couldn't find Lin Dong's disguise.

However, it seems that the Villa government army does not have the presence of detection dogs like in the TV that Lin Dong watched before.

"Boss, pay attention, their patrol is here again, and this time the direction seems to be your direction, be careful, don't be discovered!"

Lin Dong, who was thinking, was interrupted by Wall's voice, frowned, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not so decrepit." ”

After speaking, Lin Dong's whole person fell silent. The mountain wind blew the bushes beside him, but Lin Dong's figure was not revealed at all.

Click, click, click.

The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and at this time, Lin Dong could already see the figures of those soldiers through the gaps in the bushes.

As the patrol got closer and closer, Lin Dong even disappeared from the sound of breathing. His whole being seemed to be completely at one with his surroundings.
