Chapter 1: The First War: V. Anticipate the Enemy's Aircraft First

I went to the position that had been originally set up and looked into the depths of the valley with a telescope from the observation point. The smoke of the explosion had cleared, and the valley was empty.

I saw in my telescope the end of the valley, and a thin road turned out of the mountain. The sheep intestine path at the bottom of the ravine is surrounded by monotonous yellow-brown colors, and the rocks and mud and sand are all as good. Green seems to be a luxury here. The wind in the ravine was tight, and the sand and gravel on the mountain kept rolling down the cliffs.

The expected mercenary team has not appeared for a long time.

I'm wondering where this mercenary is now? Are they waiting for the brigade behind? Or are you preparing for something? Until now, I don't know what kind of equipment these mercenaries have. But judging by the fact that they were carrying grenades, they were ready for a skirmish. In a small-scale war, in addition to conventional weapons and offensive weapons, what kind of equipment should be equipped? When I think of this, my heart moves. I think I should re-examine the merits of our relationship with the mercenaries and re-compare them in all aspects. Truly know what to do and know who you are.

I know that with our current equipment, the level of advancement is definitely better than that of mercenaries. But our disadvantages are also obvious, we only did general defense, and did not think of a small war at all. Therefore, apart from long-range sniper rifles, there are simply no weapons that can carry out long-range attacks. With the exception of a sizable amount of high-explosive charges, other weapons can only be used in conventional combat. However, the ammunition equipped with it is limited, and in a small-scale war, it can barely cope with a few conventional attacks. Coupled with the scarcity of manpower, once the mercenaries commit heavy weapons or launch a large-scale attack, we will soon become cannon fodder. The only advantage we have in our hands now is the geographical advantage. The valley is so narrow that it is impossible for mercenary forces to deploy. The cliffs were layered, so that the mercenary artillery was useless. It is precisely because of this that we have the possibility of fighting the mercenaries. I carefully conceived of all possible scenarios, of the equipment that the mercenaries might be equipped with, of the methods of attack that the mercenaries might take.

When I returned to the main position, I saw the old man, the faceless, the little cut, and the cartoon discussing how to effectively hold off the enemy and drag the time smoothly until dark.

The cartoon thought that some more explosives could be placed on the roads and sides of the valley to carry out targeted, targeted blasting. Let the enemy not move forward smoothly.

The old man felt that the cartoon method was not very feasible, and the previous blasting had proved this, and it had little effect. Now that the enemy knows the method we have used, he must be on guard. A single artillery cover can frustrate our plans.

Xiao Xiao said that there is no need to be so troublesome, with our current deployment and position, it is enough to cope until dark. Unless the enemy can send airborne troops, parachute behind us. Otherwise, they will never be able to get through here. If it weren't for our limited ammunition, or for a year and a half, they wouldn't have thought of crossing the thunder pool.

Xiao Sha's words reminded me. I've always had a vague feeling in my mind that something was missing. Now that I think about it, it's a threat that could come from the air. I knew that airplanes and helicopters would not be useful in this particular natural environment, so I naturally ignored the sky and focused all my energy on the ground.

I gave Faceless the only sniper rifle that could attack from a distance, and told him to watch the air. I said, "Now, I'll give you a task, that is, if there is a bird flying in the air, you have to know whether it is male or female." If the ground starts to catch fire, you can't be distracted, no matter how vigorously it hits. You have to keep an eye on the sky with all your heart, and if you find anything out of the ordinary, beat me down. ”

Xiao Xiao said, "Do you need this?" In such a geographical environment, it is impossible to cast the Airborne Forces. Airplanes and helicopters are also not available. Are you worried that the enemy will attack with drone bombs? Rest assured, the radio signal fades away a little further away. The drone will fail before it takes off, and it can't be controlled at all. ”

I said, "Isn't there anything else you could possibly say?" For example, something that does the same thing without the need for radio control? ”

Listening to my words, the old man, faceless, Xiao Chipping and cartoon were all stunned for a moment. I said, "At least two possibilities can serve the same purpose." The first is the use of individual aircraft. Of course, due to transport, the enemy is equipped, and there will not be too many of them. But we all know that with current technology, the flight noise of individual aircraft has reached the bottom, and there is no problem in flying at this altitude in front of us. And it is also capable of striking ground targets when flying. If we are not prepared, it is easy for us to suffer its losses. The second is to use the dumbest method, using advanced climbing tools, using our blind spots, to bypass our observation at the top of the mountain, then use a parachute to land on our side, and then go around behind us to attack. If the enemy uses either of these two methods, it will plunge us into the abyss from which we will never recover. ”

Faceless nodded, "This possibility does exist. It seemed that I had to find a place where I could observe both the air and the barren hills on both sides of the valley. ”

The old man also nodded, "It's always good to be careful, it's always good to be prepared." ”

"Actually, with our current defensive area, six people are enough. It is better to let the faceless position be sprinkled back, and focus on defending against attacks that may come from a high place. In addition, add a safety to Faceless, and give him another assistant to form a second layer of attack in case Faceless attacks from a distance miss, or when the number of enemies is too large to deal with it. And there are two extra people, who will serve as a reserve, or as a response in the event of a retreat. ”

We all felt that Xiao Xiao was reasonable, so we re-deployed personnel according to Xiao Xiao's suggestion. The cartoon volunteered to be Faceless's assistant and retreated with Faceless to a well-seen position behind the hill to guard against possible attacks from above. Another person was drawn and told to hide on the side of the hill on the side of the road leading to the tribe, to respond to the evacuation of the others. Another remained at the observation point of the original position, observing the movements of the mercenaries who could appear at any time in the depths of the valley. I stayed on the ground with the old man, Xiao Xiao and the other six people, ready to block the mercenaries coming from the valley.
