Chapter 23: The Beasts Gather

When the morning sun sends away the stars, the evening glow reflects the red sky.

The four major army corps stepped up material reserves and troop transfers to prepare for the third offensive campaign, while the Huaxia Army Corps had already begun continuous campaign reconnaissance.

As a sharp knife of the mechanized infantry division, the sharp knife company of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the division received the reconnaissance task at the first time.

Dawn, quiet night.

Get up early to wash and dress, the sharp knife class that fights and fights on weekdays is unprecedentedly depressed today, and even Guo Rui, who has always been chattering, closed his mouth with a deep face.

Checking equipment, putting on combat uniforms, checking communications, etc., no one spoke to each other, and everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

Assemble, Whole, Breakfast, Mission Briefing...... The atmosphere of the imminent battle became more and more depressing, and the haze of the previous disastrous defeat of the landing battle did not seem to have completely dissipated.

In that battle, more than half of the entire reconnaissance battalion was on the verge of being reorganized, and more than 100 soldiers died directly on the battlefield.

The nightmarish army of ants and insects is as dense as locusts passing through the border, and their attacks are terrifyingly fast, and the slightest close is enough to kill a soldier in an instant.

However, in order to cooperate with the second landing operation and to minimize the casualties of a large number of troops, in addition to aerial reconnaissance, it is also necessary to conduct reconnaissance on personnel infiltration.

Even if the purpose of this campaign was only to take a piece of the delta and allow the Huaxia Army to gain a firm foothold and establish the first military base city, it was understandable that the division headquarters would send the most elite sharp knife company for the sake of safety.

"People die in the sky, and they don't die for thousands of years!"

In the cafeteria, Zhang Yongqiang held a bowl of white water high and yelled.

"Comrades-in-arms, brothers, keep in mind the mission, we will always be a sharp knife company!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

In the majestic roar, the team set out and went straight to the airport.

Armed attack helicopters and transport helicopters have been activated, and in the faint light of the morning light, they rotate their blades at high speed, creating air waves like a force 10 gale.

All classes boarded helicopters in an orderly manner and set off one after another, and in accordance with the reconnaissance plan formulated in advance, the helicopter group roared into the air and departed.

In the cabin, the noise roared, pierced the eardrums, and the low-pressure effect made people drowsy, but everyone had no intention of sleeping, some people were excited, and some people were nervous.

Ling Hao closed his eyes slightly and pretended to sleep, Luo Wei, who was sitting next to him, only cared about wiping the gun, Guo Rui chewed gum vigorously, and Liao Yuanhang was discussing the investigation route with the squad leader Tang Bin.

And the main and deputy machine gunners Gao Lin and Jiang Feng, as well as flamethrower Wang Dong and automatic rifleman He Kai, who have been integrated into the team, the four of them no longer have the previous nervousness.

At this moment, the magnificent morning sun sows a dazzling golden light, and the heaven and earth are bathed in gold.

The aircraft group was mighty and mighty, and it was inserted into a delta favored by the Huaxia Army in a three-way column, which was like a delta embedded in the Central Plains Continent, with almost 100 square kilometers.

The delta is not a shock plain, but more like an obtuse triangle when viewed from the air, with the longest base being a flat and open coastal plain, and the top being an alpine jungle, and the terrain is flattening all the way to the sea.

The complex terrain, as well as various landforms such as plains, mountains and forests, and deep lakes, will inevitably breed many monsters, and whether it is manned reconnaissance planes or unmanned aerial reconnaissance, there is obviously no substitute for real troops infiltrating and conducting on-the-spot reconnaissance.

It's just that the danger is ......

"Ready in a minute!"

A random mechanic and multi-barreled rapid-fire machine gun fireman, he makes a gesture of 1 and roars loudly, waking everyone's minds up and quickly entering the combat mode.

Pulling the bolt with a bang, everyone quickly checked their gear with them.

"Thirty seconds ready!"

As he spoke, in the morning sun, under the circling escort of an armed attack helicopter, thick cables hung down on both sides of the transport helicopter, and the landing was about to begin.

The mechanic immediately turned on the motor, and the multi-barreled rapid-fire machine gun that could pour thousands of bullets in a minute to form a rain of bullets was ready, while Ling Hao crouched next to the bulkhead on the other side, holding a large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle and waiting for it.

"Luo Wei, Guo Rui, down!"

Tang Bin stood in the cabin with a bow, and after bumping fists with the two, he saw that the two were close to the ground, and beckoned to the next group.

After the last group left, Tang Bin patted Ling Hao on the shoulder, and the two of them made a thumbs-up gesture to the flight crew and firepower to express their gratitude, and then quickly descended to the ground with the help of the cable.

The team members who landed successively were directly arranged in a circular formation around the helicopter landing area, and because it was a reconnaissance mission, it was impossible to carry heavy equipment, so Guo Rui only brought a light machine gun with more bullets.

In the class, Tang Bin, Luo Wei, and He Kai are all automatic riflemen, in addition to a large amount of ammunition, they are also carrying a single bazooka, and the main and auxiliary machine gunners Gao Lin and Jiang Feng, the two of them are normally armed.

Flamethrower Wang Dong did not carry a flamethrower on this reconnaissance mission, but carried an anti-tank missile launch device, as for the anti-tank missile, of course, Ling Hao, who was physically excellent and had a strong weight-bearing ability, carried one on his back.

The driver of the infantry chariot sailed for a long time, and his burden was not light, but it was extremely important, because he was the communicator of the squad and also a medical soldier, and in addition to the tactical communication radio on his back, he also carried a first-aid kit.

The helicopter continued to land, but this time it was the reconnaissance equipment needed for the trip, and after retracting the cable, it roared away, and the silence on the hill soon returned.

The golden morning light pierces through the mist, the undulating mountains and forests are tall and dense, and the early birds chirp non-stop, if it weren't for the deafening howls in the air from time to time, they would have mistakenly thought that they had returned to the rainforest of the original world.

Squatting at the core of the defensive circle is naturally Liao Yuanhang, who flicked the knob to test the communication.

"Blackbird 07, Blackbird 07, I'm Pioneer 01, it's a communication test now, please call back if you receive it!!"

"Spearhead 01, I'm Blackbird 07, communication is smooth!"

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and Liao Yuanhang is afraid that the communication will not be smooth, so he immediately tested the team communication, and everyone's communicator is connected to the communication normally.

Without speaking, Liao Yuanhang raised his arm and made a thumbs-up gesture, Tang Bin behind him immediately understood, lowered his voice and said, "Everyone listen, try not to make any abnormal noise!" ”

"Understood!" Everyone on the radio whispered a word in response.

After a glance at the tactical watch, the appointed time was running out.

"Ling Hao, Luo Wei, Guo Rui, you are covering in a triangular formation!"

After the order, Ling Hao quickly took the gun and slowly pushed away a piece of grass on the mountain, took out the dagger from the scabbard of the trouser leg, and cut a lot of delicate blades of grass, but it was not used to insert it into the auspicious clothes, but put it in his mouth and chewed.

The minced leaves are bright green in color and have a distinctive smell.

Ling Hao smeared it on the gilly suit quite carefully, especially touching his face a lot, trying to hide his human breath in the pungent smell of plant stems and leaves, so as to reduce the probability of being discovered by animals with a sense of smell.

Others did the same, of course, the most important task of Tang Bin and others was to select a suitable reconnaissance area and install and hide the comprehensive detector that was lowered by the helicopter rope.

The detector, which integrates infrared passive sensing, vital signature detection, multispectral photography, ultraviolet detection and other functions, once installed in place, will be able to form effective monitoring within several kilometers around, provided that it is not destroyed by giant beasts.

After installing the equipment in place and camouflaging it, Tang Bin and others began to be busy with laser ranging, mapping, and camera recording of important reference objects, etc., to further supplement the gaps and blindness in aviation reconnaissance.

There was a vibration from the tactical watch on his wrist, and Tang Bin immediately ended the reconnaissance mission and hid everything.

The breeze is blowing, the grass is deep in the mountains, and the trees are high, so quiet and serene that you can seem to hear the heartbeat.

The buzzing sound came suddenly, and it was actually two transport helicopters flying at a very bold low altitude, one in front of the other, and there were no giant birds attacking them.

As a result, they quickly dropped the cargo they were carrying.

Ling Hao breathed well, and through the optical scope of the large-caliber sniper rifle, he clearly saw the two helicopters, throwing a large amount of animal flesh and blood from the cabin.

These are captive livestock, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and other kinds of livestock, bloody and fishy, they were abandoned on the mountain lake, and the helicopter in the distance did not forget to spray a pale pink gas.

This gas is full of flavor that tempts the appetite of animals and livestock.

The reason why the Sharp Knife Company chose to conduct reconnaissance on the morning when the animals were eating was to find out how many kinds of monsters there were to the greatest extent possible, and to obtain first-hand reconnaissance information so as to facilitate the final improvement of the combat plan.

Obviously, there is a bloody livestock meat as an attraction, and there is more odor to induce gas spurs.

Soon, Ling Hao saw an amazing scene from the scope.

In the dense jungle in the distance, suddenly the trees shook, the birds flew away, and the otherwise calm lake suddenly swelled, and there were screams in the air.

Everyone held their breath for fear of being discovered, but apparently they were overly concerned.

Attracted by the bloody breath, it was not only a large number of ants and insects that were crimson, but also crocodile beasts crawling out of the lake, and the Tyrannosaurus swooped down in the air to prepare for food......

Under the lure of a large number of bloody livestock and meat, whether it was ants, crocodiles, or flying tyrannosaurs, a big war soon broke out.

With the advantage of a large number, the ants and insects quickly attacked, and the crocodile beast, which was huge and not slow, rushed up and bit and tore violently.

Before they could scream, several ants tried to poke the crocodile's skin with their claws, and their limbs were bitten off by the crocodile's conical teeth with a powerful bite.

The Tyrannosaurus, which swooped down from the air and tried to bite the flesh of the beast and fly high, was swept away by the crocodile beast's long tail, and immediately hissed to the ground, turned over and rushed up bravely to fight with the crocodile beast.

Just as the antworm, crocodile beast and Tyrannosaurus were in the middle of a fierce battle, a deep ripple appeared on the surface of the lake, and it turned out to be a two-headed snake with a body length of nearly 100 meters and as thick as a bucket.

The flat, sharp black head swayed from side to side, opening its mouth to reveal its fangs, and at the foot of the mountain by the lake, a dozen cheetah beasts with sharp fangs and glowing green eyes also appeared.
