The Battle of Annihilation in the Cross Valley was actually just an inconspicuous small battle in the battle for the Northern Border, and in fact, it was precisely because it was not so conspicuous that Qiu Shao and them would be allowed to come over. Judging by the difficulty of the war of annihilation, the stakes are not so high.

The enemy is all stragglers, as long as 5,000 people are not all waste, how can they be defeated if the tactics are reasonable, not to mention that they are still following a young man. Qiu Shao's status is rising, and the name of the army staff officer is such a thing.

When he followed the squadron, his rank was the same as that of the squadron leader, and when he followed the squadron, although he was still in the squadron, his status was already equivalent to that of the squadron leader. Now with the addition of a company, his status is on a par with the staff officers of the company. Of course, Qiu Shao also has such strength and can afford such a position.

After settling in Cross Valley, they set up camp on the eastern side of the valley and began to patrol and sweep the surrounding environment in small teams. At the same time, they began to use framed dimensional space doors to obtain building materials and build simple platforms in the center of the valley.

That night, transport planes and heavy trucks brought in large construction machinery and a large number of masonry and prefabricated slabs, while the large energy furnaces and lights in the Cross Valley had been pulled up. The construction team began to lay the foundations in the Cross Valley overnight and build a strong fortress.

In terms of the Empire's building capabilities, there are plenty of ways to build a fortress in a valley, even if it's freezing cold, especially in a place where it looks like land, but in fact there are rock formations that don't go deep.

Places like Cross Valley, which abound in no-man's land, followed closely by the armies occupying the north, and behind the battle lines, countless teams were doing the same thing. Sweep away the aliens in the no-man's land, occupy strategic places, and begin to build humans' own bases, holding this place firmly in their hands.

However, the battle for the northern frontier was not smooth on all fronts, and there were certainly many races in the eastern region who were willing to cooperate with the Empire. But in the same way, there are not a few races that are so stubborn that they have to live and die with humans, and the battle for the northern border is not a peace negotiation after all.

Zhang Longbow's gentle breathing, as if he was about to merge into the north wind in the forest, gently undulating with the scattered snowflakes flying. And he himself was under a thin layer of snow, like an old piece of wood that had been lying for countless years, and in the snow, only a few looming black holes were left.

And in the largest hole, the barrel of the gun has been hidden underneath, aimed at the different sentry card in the distance, the data in the sight is constantly beating, and the computer placed above the forest is constantly calculating the wind direction, temperature and humidity, and transmitting the situation on the opposite side to the calculation core.

This was a very regular military operation, at least much more normal than the previous two operations, but Zhang Longbow did not let this slacken. He himself knows that their team is not what others say, some so-called hero squad, some so-called counter-war elite.

All their achievements, all their honors, were exchanged for the life of a comrade-in-arms. Zhang Changgong, who is now sitting in the vice-captain position, knows this kind of thing very well. Therefore, even if it was a simple task of moving the army, he was not willing to relax for a moment, lest his negligence lead to the sacrifice of any of his comrades.

Gently calming his breathing, Zhang Longbow looked at the alien race opposite, he had been staring at this checkpoint all day. Counting him and Cheng Yongwu's team, there are three other teams that have already touched this side in advance. They were scouts who arrived before the main army to scout what was going on in the vicinity.

Satellite monitoring is easy to use, but when you encounter this kind of deep mountains and dense forests, and there is still light snow, you will always be unable to see clearly from the sky. Therefore, their purpose is to investigate the arrangements of the alien race in the vicinity, pass the specific situation back to the Western Army, and provide sufficient information for the General Staff to analyze and deploy.

At the same time, if necessary, they need to fire the first shot.

Obviously, the alien race has also realized the arrival of the war, and in half a day, the guard of this outpost has nearly tripled, and it seems that the sentries who have been replaced are all the elite of the clan. Zhang Longbow looked at the watchtower in the distance with his sight, calculated the time they spent changing shifts on the watchtower, and silently counted in his heart.

The Plague Race is a race with very strange abilities.

"瘼", in the continental lingua franca, refers to illness, or the meaning of illness. And the Paralys, as the name suggests, is a sick race. But the sickness of the Gang is not to make themselves sick, but to make the enemy sick. They carry the Law of Illness on their bodies, and when triggered, they will fight back against their enemies.

This race has a large head with a purple-cyan color all over its body, even on the head. They are not very big, just a little bigger than humans, mainly in their heads, which can be as long as two people's heads.

The Men had two arms and four legs, and the four legs supported them like spiders, but whether they were four legs or two arms, or their torsos, they were very thin, with sickly folds, and pus-filled sores on them, and they looked very disgusting.

Don't look at them themselves, they don't look very good-looking, they can't help but be weak, but in fact, when they fight, their combat effectiveness is very strong. In itself, the strength of the Yakuza is different from the disguise of appearance, and the strength is not proportional to the number of muscles at all, it can be said that the strength is infinite, and it moves quite quickly.

Moreover, this race is very difficult to fight, probably because it is sick itself, so no matter if it penetrates any part of the body, as long as it is not absolutely critical, it is impossible to make them incapacitated. On the contrary, the wound caused by the attack will cause the laws of disease in their body to burst out of the wound.

The law that erupts will not cause harm to the fellow of the same race, and once a human is contaminated, it will immediately enter a state of disease. This disease state is very metaphysical, different people who are stained with the same law will produce different disease symptoms, a little dizziness and weakness, and a serious one will lose combat effectiveness on the spot.

Therefore, in the battle with the Remnants, every shot must be as close as possible towards the vital point, otherwise it will be a problem if they rely on their own quick action ability and are close to each other. Once attacked, it would cause a large number of soldiers to get sick, and if they did not fight, they would have to retreat.

Fortunately, the disease law of the Qiang tribe cannot last, and the disease caused by the law is not caused by the human body after all, so in two to five hours after getting sick, the disease will slowly disappear, of course, this is for non-fatal diseases.

Some people are more unlucky, and if they get a terminal illness on the spot, they will die on the spot. Some of the sick people need to recuperate to survive, but after two hours on the battlefield, there is no time to save them. There are also people who are disturbed by a variety of diseases, and cooperate with each other's complications, resulting in physical failure.

It is precisely because of this hedgehog-like physique that the mistress has always been one of the last enemies that humans want to encounter. But on the contrary, the Cruelty Clan is very dead-eyed and will never accept cooperation with humans, so the result is this, this battle must be fought, and it must be won.

Tell all races that no matter how intractable the enemy may be, the Empire will not be afraid to back down, and that in order to win the war, they must occupy the entire North. As long as the slightest timidity is revealed, it will make the eastern races feel that the determination of the empire is not strong, and I am afraid that more accidents will be born.

Because of the rapid action of the Mi tribe, it is easy to avoid the bombardment range of artillery fire, so in these two ways, sniping is often the main means of attack, so Zhang Longbow and their elite squads of snipers will be transferred.

This time, the two sharpshooters were Zhang Longbow and Feng Xing, and the others were responsible for covering and assisting, and also ensuring that the snipers could stay healthy when they had to retreat. So, when the big army arrived, they were likely to fire the first shot.

"Here's the plan." Cheng Yongwu has already received the task arrangement of the rear troops: "At the beginning of the war, the eight snipers on our side must defeat the steam in the sentry tower as soon as possible. At the same time, several other squads at the checkpoints will do the same. ”

"Then, we will continue to advance deeper, sweep the Mi tribe on the road, and then the large army will surround the ancestral land of the Mi tribe to prevent the Mi tribe from escaping, and use heavy artillery to carry out a large-scale bombardment of the ancestral land of the Mi tribe, destroy the buildings and defenses on the hill of the Mi tribe, and force the Mi tribe to appear head-on."

"Then, we will retreat to the eastern hill and join the large army of snipers in a fixed position to snipe the Clan. This time the task is heavy, and everyone has to cheer up. If you encounter the disease law of the Plague Clan, you don't know how unlucky you will be. ”

After listening to the task arrangement, Zhang Changgong said softly: "Judging from the content of the task, the most difficult part is still at the front. Now there are a total of thirty scorn tribes in the watchtower, and even if it is eight snipers, they can hit each time, and each person has to fire at least four shots. The four shots have to hit the vital point, and the time is definitely not fast, and it is likely that by the second shot, the other mistress tribes have already taken refuge in the guard tower. ”

"Yes, and considering the purpose of cutting off the watchtower, it is impossible for us to use the explosive method to destroy the watchtower itself, so that it will be too easy for other mias in front of us to discover our existence, so that the mistress can see our whereabouts in advance, so there must be a clear goal to attract the attention of the other party."

Cheng Yongwu said, and the entire team channel fell silent. There is no doubt that whoever appears as a bait is likely to be tainted by the disease laws of the Gang Clan, and when the time comes, I don't know what disease will be, and life will not be guaranteed at all.

If it is a multi-person bait, the mistress clan in a tense state is likely to hide deeper, after all, now they already know that the empire will definitely attack the ancestral land, even if it is the head of the elm, they know to avoid the evil and hide. This time, the most dangerous person has become the one who becomes the bait.

Just when everyone wanted to be the first to stand up, but before they could speak, the voice of the captain of another team sounded on the common channel of the four teams: "Now it is only time to lure the snake out of the hole and increase the time for the sniper to attack, we have a decoy here, it is better to have another one, is there anyone who can run fast?" ”

At this time, one of the fighters in Cheng Yongwu's team finally found an opportunity: "I run fast!" ”

Cheng Yongwu sighed secretly in his heart, and said softly: "Okay, two decoys, appear from the north and south, our side will come out first, and you will appear in the north two seconds later." Remember, be sure to control your speed and try to solve the battle in less than ten seconds! ”

He had already calculated, running from the watchtower to the edge of the woods, with the speed of the four legs of the Monkey, ten seconds was quite a limit. Everyone else knows this and is used to it. So, a moment later, with an order, two baits appeared.

Sure enough, the Monkey found the human bait and began to chase after them frantically from the watchtower, but not all of them were dispatched. The appearance of the first decoy attracted seven mias, while the appearance of the second bait attracted six mias, and in the direction of the watchtower, only seventeen remained.

"Seventeen, three for me." Zhang Longbow said softly, and the unquestionable tone came out with a bullet, and he knocked out the Mi clan at the highest point of the watchtower in one fell swoop, and the shot hit the center of the eyebrows, and the Mi clan didn't make a sound at all, and it was finished when he leaned against the wall.

This time, Zhang Longbow used a kinetic gun, which takes into account the hard power of a sniper, especially in this kind of weather with a cold north wind and light snow. Although the other snipers didn't react for a while, why do you want three, but seeing that Zhang Longbow shot first, they didn't have time to complain.

And just as they were firing, Zhang's second shot went out again, this time directly through a gap in the window of the watchtower, killing a man in the back. The other snipers were also the first to target the Yakuza who were already in the watchtower.

After two rounds of sniping, all seventeen Yaks who remained within the range of the tower were annihilated. And at this time, the mistress who rushed out to chase the bait also began to realize that they had been calculated. But they were very experienced not to run around, but to accelerate more and continue to chase towards the bait.

They know that the law of disease in their body is very uncertain for human beings, and it can be fatal if it is serious. The best option for them now is to keep getting closer to the humans, and at that time, those who are in ambush will lose their judgment.

However, how could Zhang Longbow give them this opportunity, after dealing with the sentry tower's sentry tower, he barely looked at the direction of the sentry tower, turned the muzzle of the gun sharply, and according to the previous arrangement, aimed at the closest steam to his comrades, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The Yakuza fell in response, and the other Yaks also began to be sniped one by one, and when Zhang Longbow killed the second Lance, all the Lancers on the scene had fallen to the ground, and none of them were spared. Zhang Longbow breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground, the snow shaking off his body, revealing his slightly thin body.

"The first step is complete, move forward!" Cheng Yongwu said.

The other soldiers followed suit, they bypassed the range of the watchtower, and did not touch the corpse of the Monkey, who knows if there is any residual law on it? Silently marched in the direction of the watchtower to the ancestral land of the Mi clan. While on the way, Zhang Longbow killed another spy of the Yakuza clan.

According to their calculations, there should be one more hour for the next shift change, which is enough for them to act. And the scabs who patrol and roam in the woods at will are the most difficult to solve. Once the other party warns, it is easy to alarm the Mi clan in the ancestral land, and once the Mi clan rushes out in large numbers, it will be very dangerous for them or for this battle.

Therefore, they advanced very carefully, and Zhang Longbow advanced almost crouching, with oil paint painted on his face, and the military uniform on his body blended in with the surrounding environment. Not far away, the sound of bullets passing through the ground was heard from time to time, followed by the sound of the Yakuza falling to the ground.

He was not greedy for merit, he shot first, it was just his self-confidence. Zhang Longbow's technique should be the highest among the four squads, he can ensure that he has two shots a second and ensure accuracy, and there are seventeen left in the watchtower, which is better than one more Clan, and he must take the initiative to bear this Clan.

But now it's different, it's a search and cleanup, and any rash advance may cause the entire army to be wiped out, so Zhang Longbow is still fighting steadily, in fact, there are very few enemies on his side, until he saw the ancestral land of the Mi tribe, he also killed a Mi tribe.

He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the second stage of the mission was completed, so he said to the communicator: "After completing the second stage, Feng Xing and I will go to find a favorable sniper position, and you will take pictures of the situation here, pass it to the General Staff, and provide them with the precise position of the bomb." ”

As a result, the four squads began to disperse, and none of them occupied an important vantage point, looking for the best sniper position. But as it turned out, the location was not easy to find. The ancestral land of the Mi tribe is a rotten rocky beach, full of large and chaotic stones, which seem to be some strange beliefs and habits of theirs.

"Tsk!" Feng Xing was distressed: "There are stones blocking it from every side, how can this be done?" ”

Zhang Longbow leaned against a big tree, also looked at the ancestral land of the Mi clan below, observed it carefully, and said: "Try to find a place where you can hit, I think you should still guard the exit and the surrounding open space, especially the road up the mountain, when the time comes, these guys will definitely run out." ”

The snipers of the other teams were also convinced, and each found a position to stand.
