Chapter 42 Establishment of sniper positions

In an instant, smoke billowed from the hut, and there was a painful cough inside.

One stumbles and rushes out of the igloo in desperation, only to be knocked unconscious by Lana. Another person fired a gun indiscriminately, and at the same time crawled out with a rolling belt, and Lin Zhumin followed with a stick and put it down. There was no more silence inside, and Rana put on a gas mask and quietly went in with a flashlight. First he picked up the smoke pipe that was still billowing and threw it outside, and then found another person, but he was already stunned by the smoke.

The three captives were tied up, and the team hid in the leeward side of the hut until the smoke cleared.

The two captives who rushed out woke up in a moment. The third had a wound on the head and had been killed by smoke. Judging from the scars, it was when the glare bomb exploded, and he hit the snow wall and knocked him unconscious.

When the smoke clears, the team enters the igloo. Lin Zhumin had already interrogated them clearly, and it turned out that they and the other group were agents of the National Security Service of the Kabul government. They were ordered to enter the mountain top by helicopter and take control of this canyon. They regularly reported the security of the canyon through telegrams to ensure the safety and smoothness of the Spetsnaz cross-border attack.

The bonfire in the igloo was rekindled, and everyone's bodies quickly felt a burst of warmth.

Sabusidin studied the structure of the igloo and exclaimed, "It's so smart, ordinary grenades can't help it!" ”

Major Khatib said, "Captain Lin, during the day they will go out of the cave to carry out activities or make contact. It is advisable to wipe out another group tonight! ”

Lin Zhumin nodded first when he heard this, "What the major said makes sense, just leave a group of prisoners here." ”

Lin Tao looked at his watch, and it was already the second half of the night. He thought for a moment and said, "Major, you take Captain Sabusiddin and Lieutenant Razak and hold out here. If something happens to us, you are responsible for continuing to complete our mission. If we succeed, I'll let you know first, and then I'll bring you together. ”

Khatib nodded solemnly, "Allah bless Captain Lin, you will definitely succeed." Please pay attention to mine protection, we await your good news! ”

Lin Tao took Lin Zhumin, Captain Bilal and Lana out of the cave. Rana and Lin Zhumin opened the way in front with sticks, and the team formed a battle formation and searched along the bottom of the canyon.

From time to time, Rana and Lim had to crouch down to clear the mines, and the team was very slow.

Just then, the wolves began to harass again. The four men turned the silencers onto the barrels of Makarov's guns, killing a wolf from time to time, causing them to kill each other, and the wolves retreated. The team walked about a kilometer or two down the canyon, and after a big bend, Rana finally found the target.

This is a slightly larger igloo with a slightly more complex structure. The igloo is built on a clump of trees, and it consists of two igloos, one large and one small, with a back door. Exactly like the previous igloo, their tactical literacy is really average. There was no observation hole in the snow house, and the snow covered the mountain, so they were collectively paralyzed.

As with the previous igloo defenses, it took nearly an hour for the Rana and Limschu civilians to clear a passage from the minefield.

"Control the big and small doors, and if you resist, you can't kill them!" Lin Tao commanded in a low voice.

Lin Zhumin and Bilal control the gate, and Lana and Lin Tao control the small gate. No danger was detected inside, and no guards were put up, and they could occasionally be heard talking and laughing in Pashto. Maybe someone said something funny, and there was a burst of unbridled laughter from inside. Lin Zhumin quietly threw a cigarette pipe into it against the ground.

Suddenly, the snow room was filled with smoke, and the people inside coughed violently, and some people were coughing and cursing loudly. At this time, the shots rang out, and they were all fired at the door in a panic. One of them threw a grenade first, and Lin Zhumin and Bilal quickly hid to the side of the igloo. The grenade exploded with a "bang", and before the smoke was gone, one of the people inside was coughing violently and crashed out headlong.

Bilal threw a shot at him and killed him. The other shot indiscriminately as he burst out of the hut behind him and was shot dead by Lana.

Lin Zhumin was annoyed, he threw a grenade into it again, and after the explosion with a "boom", he and Bilal wore gas masks and rushed in alternately under cover. The indoor bonfire had been blown out, the smoke was so thick that nothing could be seen. Lin Zhumin threw the chimney outside, and the smoke was small, and then he saw that the other two people had been killed.

After the four of them cleaned up the battlefield and looked at their watch, it was already past four o'clock in the morning.

Lin Tao observed that this was behind a big turn in the canyon, and it was best to set up a sniper position here. Here the arc is larger, and it is a complete semicircle. The wind direction is also extremely complex, with occasional cyclones. When the Mi-24P arrives here, it can only fly along the canyon, and once it is attacked, it can only be vertically raised, and there is no possibility of dodging left and right. If you forcibly avoid it, there is a danger of crashing into a mountain.

After careful assessment, Lin Zhumin was also full of praise for the choice of position.

But choosing this place as an attack position also requires a certain amount of risk. It's like a wind tunnel, a big cold snap has arrived, and the temperature is already more than 10 degrees below zero. Moreover, the sides and bottom of the canyon here are covered with snow from Pengsong. If you miss a blow and are attacked, you won't be able to find a cave where you can hide.

The greater danger is the avalanche, although the snow on both sides is fresh from the year, but there is too much snow, if the huge explosion of the missile causes an avalanche, they are in danger of being buried, and there is no place to escape.

"Captain Lin, it's very good that you chose this place to be the battlefield. It's windy and cold, the snow on both sides is frozen, and the amount of snow isn't very large, so there shouldn't be much chance of an avalanche. Moreover, the igloos here are the only places where you can camp. Lana saw Lin Tao's concerns and immediately said with certainty.

Lin Tao nodded when he heard this, the only good thing here is that due to the high humidity, there are dense and low mixed trees on both sides of the bottom of the snow valley.

The igloo has thick, solid walls that turn into a hidden, solid snow fortress. What's more, under the root of the tree, there is a rock. Day and night, light a campfire inside the hut to keep it warm and not exposed. Lin Zhumin carefully checked it and was very satisfied.

But living here, there is another risk. The dense vegetation in the snow valley is suitable for highland wolves.

Lin Tao informed Khatib of the battle situation and told him to wait and pick them up in a while. Khatib said they had repelled an attack by the wolves and that their personnel were safe.

Lin Tao took everyone back to the original snow hut and took them and the captives to the new camp. Before leaving, he deliberately blew up the igloo to prevent it from being used again. But what he didn't expect was that this move would also add difficulties to future tasks.

But after returning, Rana checked, and it turned out that the food that the agents had baked and the bodies of the four agents had all been eaten by the wolves, and the wolves were nowhere to be found.

The team buried the bones of the captives in the snow and set up camp. They are not worried about food, and since there are wolves, they will definitely send "food". On the first morning in the snow valley, the team was harassed by the highland wolves.

Wolves are the ancestors of dogs and are intelligent animals. The small door at the back of the igloo has been blocked by a large snowball. Around dawn, the team went to bed collectively, and only Lin Zhumin was on duty at the gate, and a guest came.

As Lin Zhumin was smoking a cigarette, he suddenly felt a sound on the snow roof. At this time, there was already a faint light outside the igloo, and there was a crystal green light in front of the door from time to time. The wolf came, and Lin Zhumin quickly made a judgment. The plateau wolf used a suspicious tactic, and several wolves kept walking around in front of the snow house to attract Lin Zhumin's attention.

A dozen other wolves climbed onto the snow roof and slammed the ice and snow in an attempt to attack from above. This thing is still inferior to people in intelligence, the roof has been watered, and it has been frozen to iron by the cold temperature, how can it be moved?

Lin Zhumin observed it, and it was estimated that there were at least a dozen wolves. He didn't dare to be careless, and quickly raised the alarm, and the team woke up. Lin Tao said happily, "We have eaten dry food for seven or eight days, and we are about to vomit, and people are sending us meat." ”

As he spoke, he took out his pistol and threw a shot at the green spot in front of the door, and there was a scream in front of the door, and a wolf was shot. Violent fighting and biting sounded immediately outside the house, and the wounded wolf was quickly torn apart and eaten by his companions.

This is the unspoken rule of the formation of the wolf world in the course of millions of years of evolution. A wounded wolf will definitely not survive in the cruel natural world. So, let's contribute and eat it together.

The wolves in front of the door were not affected by the attack, and four or five wolves suddenly started attacking together, and they pounced on the igloo door. Lin Zhumin killed the wolf that rushed to the front with a single shot, and Rana also hit the other wolf, but only wounded it. The other wolves quickly began to chase and bite the wounded wolf, and the screams continued outside the igloo.

Lin Zhumin dragged the slain wolf in.

Both Rana and Sabusidin had experience, and when they saw a green light approaching the door, they raised their guns and fired them, and there was a scream outside the house, followed by a burst of biting. When it was full light, they killed several wolves and retrieved two wolves. They are thin and thin, they are all about the same as small landlords, and the largest is only forty or fifty pounds. The other wolves that were killed were eaten by their fellow wolves.

Everyone collectively barbecued wolf meat, and for the first time in a few days, there was fresh meat to eat.

Khatib said, "I'm sorry, we just killed two or three heads, and we didn't get any of them back." ”

Seeing that everyone was eager to try it, Sabusidin reminded him in advance, "When the meat is cooked in a while, you must stop in moderation, and you can't eat too much of this thing." Wolf meat is more tonic than dog meat, and has the effects of resisting wind and cold, warming the stomach, and filling the marrow with aphrodisiac. If you eat too much, something 'big' will happen. ”

At the time of the training camp, these knowledge instructors talked about it. Everyone knows that wolf meat is delicious, but it should not be eaten too much. But after all, the salty wolf meat is crispy, tender and delicious, and even Sabusidin himself can't control it, so he eats it all over his stomach.

As a result, that night, the squad suffered a collective nosebleed. The body is hot and swollen, and the group has a spring dream "running horse" at night. Everyone was shocked, this thing is really powerful, I really don't dare to eat more. The team was also worried about the wolves, and every few days after that, the wolves would come to harass them.

The highland wolf is a highly intelligent animal, and seeing that it is really not an opponent, the wolf pack gives up attacking them.
