Chapter 217: Enlightenment
Staring at the group of armed men from the transfer base filmed by the drone, Halbara pressed the communicator button as if he were in water: "Boss, we are in trouble!" ”
Wading through the river that was almost drying up again, Tang Guoming quickly responded: "Report the situation? ”
Harbara: "Six armed men!" Are walking towards the spot where you are just lurking and watching, and see how they stand....... Something you seem to notice? ”
Signaling Pan Guan to speed up the pace of progress, Tang Guoming gasped slightly and responded: "Show us the way!" ”
Quickly calling up the topographic map of the periphery of the transfer base, Harbara looked at the moving red spots on the topographic map that represented the location of Tang Guoming and Pan Guan, and said, "According to your current travel speed, this group of armed personnel coming out of the transfer base will reach the ridge before you. You will be exposed to their sight! A thousand meters to the south, there's a depression with relatively dense vegetation where you can hide! ”
Quickly following the direction of Halbara's guidance, Tang Guoming and Pan Guan tried to be careful not to stir up too much dust with their fast-moving footsteps. After arriving at the depression indicated by Halbara where he could hide, Tang Guoming quickly ducked down and burrowed between the two tightly connected bushes, carefully concealing himself. On Tang Guoming's side, he also directly burrowed into a dense bush and squatted down, carefully aiming the gun in the direction of the ridge.
Almost consistent with Halbara's calculations, after Tang Guoming and Pan Guan had just completed the concealment action, several armed men with loaded guns had already appeared on the ridge where Tang Guoming and Pan Guan had just observed the transfer base. Two of the armed men walked about 50 meters along the ridge, each looking for a place to take cover, crouched down and guarded at gunpoint. The other four armed men unloaded their combat backpacks and took out some items from their combat backpacks and fiddled with them.
Carefully holding the high-magnification monoculars in front of him, Pan Guan observed the movements of the armed men crouching on the ground fiddling with those objects, but he muttered in a low voice rather unwillingly: "I can't see clearly...... The distance is too far, and coupled with the night environment, the infrared function can only see their general body contours and general movements. If only I could get closer and observe...... Dagong, let the drone fly a little closer to see? ”
It was only a few seconds before Halbara's response sounded from the communicator: "No! If you fly too low, the sound of the drone's engine will definitely be heard by these guys, and it will startle the snake......"
Also using a high-magnification telescope to observe the few armed men who were crouching on the ground and fiddling with something, Tang Guoming whispered thoughtfully: "Look carefully at the guy who is surrounded in the middle....... There is some strange pattern in his movements? First face down diagonally, then go back the same way, and repeat ......."
Subconsciously gestured with his hand a few times as Tang Guoming said, and Halbara suddenly shouted in a low voice: "This is digging a pit and laying mines!" Mine planters in Southeast Asia never directly damage the surface environment above the mines, but prefer to dig a pit diagonally from the side, and then plug the mine into the pit and activate the insurance. A true master can ensure that the layer of soil covering the mine is less than a centimeter thick, but it does not collapse! ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Pan Guan almost said, "A good hand at burying mines? Boss, it must be the guys who planted the wood-shelled mines! Those who lay wood-shell mines also use oblique side holes to bury mines. In Africa, this common method of laying mines in Southeast Asia has emerged...... Could it be that there are really Vietnamese monkeys coming to Africa to find relatives? ”
Carefully observing the armed personnel who laid mines, Tang Guoming replied in a low voice: "Pay attention to observe and see what they want to do?" They also came out to lay mines so late, did they also notice us? ”
Pan Guan shook his head unconsciously: "Boss, I don't think it's so evil!" Abdu and the other blacks were still several kilometers away, and it was impossible to reveal their whereabouts. As for us....... If it was really exposed, these guys would have sent people to start encircling us a long time ago, so why not rely on laying mines to scare people? ”
In just a few words, several armed men on the ridge who were carrying out mine-laying operations had already stood up, spread slightly along the ridge, and continued the mine-laying movement. The two gunmen in charge of the guard went farther and farther away, expanding the warning area along the minelaying area.
Silently calculating the minelaying direction and speed of those armed men on the ridge, Tang Guoming looked down at the military watch on his wrist, and then looked up at the sky, before reaching out and pressing the communicator: "According to their mine-laying speed and the number of mines that their carrying gear can carry, they can complete all mine-laying operations within two hours at most, and the mine-laying area is enough to seal the ridge of a large area." Accumulate according to this time...... After two days, the ridge south of the transfer base will be sealed, and the attack channel will be completely lost! ”
Pan Guan: "What should I do then?" Giving them some trouble? But this will scare the snake......."
Before Pan Guan could finish speaking, the path that had been mined on the path that connected the ridge with the valley on the other side of the creek suddenly sounded with the dull roar of a mine explosion. With the sound of the explosion of the mine being detonated, several armed personnel on the ridge quickly lowered their bodies and quickly rushed towards the anticline of the ridge where Tang Guoming and the others were.
Quickly moving the high-magnification telescope held in front of him, Tang Guoming just glanced in the direction where the mine explosion sounded, and suddenly said in a low voice: "It's a wild sheep!" ”
As soon as the words fell, another mine explosion rang out from the path. From the high-magnification telescope, a dozen skinny wild sheep, disturbed by the sound of landmine explosions, were running in all directions in terror. One of the wild sheep was running wildly when he accidentally stepped on a trap with an alarm device, and immediately fell to the ground with a wail. And the alarm on the trap of Unicom also screamed wildly!
Quickly pressed the communicator button, Tang Guoming shouted in a low voice: "Dagong, immediately drive away from the current position, and lead Abdu and the other fighters to retreat to an alternate hidden location for lurking!" Does stir-frying liver ensure that you don't get discovered? ”
In the communicator, Gu Weisu's response quickly came: "No problem! I observed that at least six groups of armed personnel had come out of the transfer base, and all the construction personnel had also entered a state of operational readiness! There are drones in the transport base....... I've shifted positions!! ”
Tang Guoming: "Hide! These wild sheep ...... It's a wake-up call! ”
