The security point prepared a car and a guide to go out with Li Mu and Sun Lulu.

The guide is a local overseas Chinese, an outside line developed by the intelligence department, and is able to use the local language and Chinese. The reason why I took Sun Lulu out was because Sun Lulu knew the local language. Li Mu would not take people outside the squad to conduct reconnaissance activities, so he only had Sun Lulu as an option.

Drove an SUV and the three went out.

It's early 11 o'clock when you go out, and there are very few pedestrians except for bars and cafes in the city.

The guide explained the situation to them while driving, "The most famous activities on Maogong Island are diving and sea fishing. Those who come here to play are basically from diving. There are also some who come here for the sea view. There are several small islands in the surrounding area, each with a dedicated program. It's all played for four or five days. Therefore, many tourists who come here will stay for four or five days, and some will even stay for a month. But most of them are tourists from Western countries. Maogong Island is not safe and secure, and it is on the list of areas that are not recommended for tourism in China. ”

I could tell that the guide was familiar with the situation, and judging by his name, he had a lot of affection for the country.

The guide said, "The place we are going to is an area that tourists will not go to, where the terrain is very complex and where many armed forces are entrenched. They have always been at peace with the tourist area, and they will not make trouble in the tourist area unless the government army comes to encircle and suppress it. Law and order in the tourist area is maintained by the police station, which actually has many people from different armed forces. ”

Sun Lulu said, "It's really chaotic, even more chaotic than in the previous warlord period. ”

The guide smiled and said, "Maogong Island is the island that has been seized by the warlords, and it is also the largest island that the authorities have lost control. Because of the distance from the authorities' station, close to the sea border, the authorities have not had absolute control over this place. ”

Looking back at Li Mu, the guide said, "You should know about the armed conflict that took place in October last year. The authorities dispatched the navy, but as a result, it was still beaten back. ”

Li Mu smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Sun Lulu stopped talking. She could feel that Li Mu was wary of the guide. This is also normal, people outside the team, Li Mu has a vigilant mentality, including Liu Weihong, he also has a heart in his heart.

The further southwest you go, the fewer vehicles there are, and when you get to the back, there are no vehicles on the road. After another ten minutes or so, the guide pulled over and stopped the car. This is a corner of the mountain road with a temporary parking spot. "If you go any further, you will have a checkpoint, and you can't go through it without a pass." ”

Li Mu looked at the Beidou Satellite Terminal, this is actually the edge of the Iron Hook Ridge, and the black mountain in front of it is shaped like an Iron Hook, that is the target area.

Looking at the time, Li Mu said to the guide, "Find a hidden place, we haven't come back after two hours, you go back and report to Lao Liu immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Li Mu and Sun Lulu got out of the car with their outdoor tactical backpacks on their backs, and soon the two disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Aside from the attribute of the island, from the topography alone, Maogong Island is hilly terrain, except for the port, where there is a flat land, the rest of the area is undulating hills. And because it is located in the tropics, there are tropical rainforests, the annual rainfall is very large, and the vegetation and vegetation grow very luxuriantly. This has a lot in common with the tropical jungles of the mainland.

Li Mu would not fight an unprepared battle, and the higher-level departments would not rashly send a team of men and horses to a place where they did not know the terrain and landform at all.

The topography of Maogong Island has been familiar to Li Mu and others before they got on the plane, and it can be said that there is a relatively complete outline in their heads.

Today's weather is good, and you can see from the dry surface that it is not until around dawn that there is a temperature difference and fog, and at that time you can see that the leaves of the plants are moist with moisture. The moonlight is very good, which means that there is basically no cloud in the sky at this time, at least the direction of the moon is not.

Li Mu and Sun Lulu did not use low-light night vision devices, but squatted in the grass and waited for their eyes to adapt to the light environment, and used the brightness of the moonlight to grope their way forward in the mountains and forests.

Taking out a wide hemp rope, Li Mu tied one end to his waist, and the other end to Sun Lulu's waist. At this time, Li Mu hugged Sun Lulu with both hands face to face, and he clearly felt that Sun Lulu had formed a sense of oppression on his chest.

This girl, after becoming a soldier, the size of her chest has become bigger and bigger.

Sun Lulu held Li Mu's hand and whispered, "Instructor, don't do this, I can do it myself." ”

Li Mu hesitated, the situation in the mountains and forests was unknown, he was indeed worried that Sun Lulu would step on the air or something.

"I really can, instructor, tie it like this, it will affect the tactical moves. Sun Lulu said with a firm gaze.

Li Mu nodded, put away the hemp rope, and said, "You must be careful, step on my footprints, and keep a distance of three meters from me, remember?"

"Remembered. Sun Lulu nodded heavily.

The two began to sneak through the forest.

Unknown insects are calling, this season, in the tropics, has entered the summer, what spring and autumn is not at all, winter is not obvious, as if there is only summer all year round. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, making the leaves rattle. Judging by the sound of the wind, it is not far from the sea.

This is consistent with the satellite map, Tiegou Ridge is a mountain ridge standing by the sea, but the specific situation in it needs to be reconnoitred closely. But judging from the map, there is a flat land between Iron Hook Ridge and the beach by the sea, and that is the specific location of the spider base.

There are only two ways to get in and out of the spider base, one is the road to the end of the base, and the other can only be walked from the sea.

The straight-line distance on the map shows that there are three kilometers to the spider base. According to Li Mu's calculations, the actual journey was nearly six kilometers, and the two-hour round trip plus the time required for reconnaissance was very tense, and it was necessary to maintain a certain speed of travel.

The terrain suddenly flattened, but the woods were still thick.

Li Mu suddenly squatted down and played a sign language to stop advancing, Sun Lulu immediately squatted down and listened attentively, and soon she vaguely heard a voice, it was a human voice, and then bent down to approach Li Mu.

Li Mu carefully distinguished, pointed to the direction of one o'clock and said, "Over there, the sound is very noisy, and there are quite a few people. ”

"What should I do?" asked Sun Lulu in a low voice.

Li Mu said, "Go over and take a look, and pay attention not to make too big a move." ”

The two of them stealthily reached in the direction of one o'clock, and soon saw the firelight. Li Mu said to Sun Lulu, "You wait here, I'll take a closer look." ”

"Yes. Instructor, be careful. ”

Li Mu handed over the Beidou satellite terminal to Sun Lulu, and he quietly touched it with his empty hands. When I got closer, I realized that it was a camp. Judging by the fact that the camp must have been around for a long time, some of the trees inside were bald. Liu Weihong said that there are many armed forces entrenched in this area. They usually carve out camps in the mountains and forests, which can easily evade aerial reconnaissance by the authorities and minimize the possibility of being bombed.

Taking out the binoculars and looking at them from a distance, Li Mu roughly grasped the situation in the camp. The camp was not large, with three vehicles and four tents, one large and one small, where a dozen soldiers were barbecuing something, drinking and laughing, and there were several heavily armed sentry posts scattered outside.

This kind of camp is simply vulnerable in Li Mu's eyes, the easiest way is to give him a squad and a surprise attack to completely defeat this camp, and it can also ensure that his own casualties are minimized. The quality of the soldiers of these armed forces is itself worrisome.

It's unlikely to be someone from the Spider Base, and it doesn't look like a camp on the outskirts of the Spider Base. This is not the most suitable place to serve as a base outpost, either in terms of distance or location. Besides, there is no need for so many people to be placed in one outpost.

Therefore, it is certain that the camp belongs to other armed forces.

Li Mu decided to bypass it.

He took out a hand-drawn drawing, marked the specific location and general situation of the camp on it, and then withdrew to Sun Lulu. The two rounded around from the northwest.

About a kilometer away from the spider base, Li Mu once again found a camp. Unlike the previous one, this camp is permanent. Two rows of bungalows are built at right angles in a forest clearing, and in the southeast corner there is a tree-made watchtower, which is located in the direction of the road.

Li Mu and Sun Lulu found a slightly higher place in the southwest corner and lay down to observe the camp, in the low-light night vision, the camp has entered silence, only the patrolling soldiers and a few fixed sentry points can see people.

Sun Lulu whispered, "Could it be part of the spider base?"

Taking out the hand-drawn map and comparing it with the Beidou satellite map, Li Mu shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, the spider base should be an independent base, they may have outposts, but it is unlikely to be a large-scale camp." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the two chimneys behind the camp's row houses and said, "Look there, the chimneys, they don't look like the chimneys of the bungalows." ”

Sun Lulu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in a suppressed voice, "It's like a drug-making factory, the more you look at it, the more you look at it, you see, there are few windows in those row houses, it must be a production workshop." ”

She belongs to the armed police force and has been fighting terrorism in the northwest. Some terrorist forces are closely related to drugs, and Sun Lulu's first mission was to seize a drug-making construction site, and she knows more about this than Li Mu.

"That's logical. Li Mu nodded slowly, his brows furrowed, "The density of armed camps here is so large, which adds a lot of difficulties to our operation to assault the spider base. ”

Of course, Sun Lulu also knew the situation reported by the intelligence team, and the armed forces here had reached a tacit understanding that as long as any place was attacked, no matter which side the attacker came from, they would launch a counterattack together.

This means that Li Mu and the others must complete the operation of assaulting the spider base and withdraw safely before the rest of the armed forces can react. If you delay a little, you risk being surrounded by multiple armed forces. On this island, even wings are inescapable.

After noting down the location of the poison camp, they rounded it up, and ten minutes later, they saw the legendary spider base.

Under the Iron Hook Ridge is a ring road, the ring road is not actually connected, but divided into two sections, and the broken location is here in the spider base. After finding the commanding heights for observation, Li Mu found that there was a discrepancy between the actual situation and the intelligence, indicating that Du Xiaofan's range of activities in the spider base was also restricted.

To the southeast of Tiegou Ridge, after crossing the highway is a vacant lot that protrudes from Maogong Island, where there is a magnificent comprehensive concrete structure, like a castle hanging outside Maogong Island. The natural barrier is Iron Hook Ridge, because Iron Hook Ridge is like an upside-down iron hook, and the part of the hook forms a volley ceiling just above the spider base!

With such a shield, it is absolutely impossible to find it in the air. As long as the entrance and exit of the ground are controlled, this base can exist in stealth for a long time.

Guarding the forest, just the positions on the surface, Li Mu found three places, as well as the commanding heights on the permanent watchtower, forming a very powerful crossfire. Whether coming from the southwest or northeast, the final meeting point will be the Spider base, and their firepower can completely cover it.

What is certain is that on the highway in both directions, multiple armed checkpoints must have been set up, and under normal circumstances, it is simply impossible to approach the spider base without a pass.

"Look, instructor, dock. Sun Lulu put down the binoculars and pointed to the southwest corner of the spider base.

Li Mu raised his binoculars and looked over, and could vaguely see a yacht moored there, obviously a simple dock there. As long as there is a sudden situation, the main leader of the spider base can leave here quickly.

Roads, docks, there are quite a few points that need to be controlled. The goal of defeating the Spider Base is not only to destroy the Spider Corporation's base camp and their training base, but also to kill their main leader. Liu Weihong has some of the specific people, and the rest must first meet with Du Xiaofan, be identified by him, and then be solved.

Li Mu took out a high-resolution telephoto SLR and took hundreds of photos, Sun Lulu used a wide-angle lens to take dozens of panoramic photos from various angles, and then used a rangefinder to measure various parts of the base building. The two had a clear division of labor and moved quickly, and Sun Lulu did not show the jerkiness of the newcomer at all. There are many opportunities for actual combat in the northwest, and the way for a soldier to grow rapidly is to have more actual combat, and no matter how realistic training is, in the final analysis, it is just training.

Within half an hour, Li Mu and Sun Lulu completed the reconnaissance work in close respect. When he returned the same way, Li Mu walked behind to eliminate the traces left behind. Any little fluke could ruin the entire mission, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

If this operation fails, they will not have a second chance.

Li Mu and Sun Lulu returned to Fang Cai's position on time, and twenty minutes later, they returned to safety.
