After the task was issued, Sun Qian returned to Company A and called several platoon commanders over.

"Gentlemen, the battalion headquarters has given us the task of conducting a pre-war reconnaissance of the entire Siegfried Line. I decided that we should divide the labor according to the platoon, from east to west, the first row, the second row, the third row, and the fourth row. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the reconnaissance was carried out mainly on safety, and there were countless minefields, deer weirs, barbed wire, and even German reconnaissance troops in front of this defense line. Sun Qian instructed uneasily.

"Yes, sir." , a group of officers responded.

"Now let's talk about the specific division of labor, according to the intelligence findings of the previous coalition forces. Our frontal enemy was the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 7th armies of the German army, which were very strong. Our reconnaissance should be placed at the junction of the various armies as much as possible, to see if there is a chance, and the rest of the specific reconnaissance directions, you divide them yourself, I will set off with a platoon tonight, and then I will take turns to go out with each platoon to reconnoitre. Logistics, you have to prepare materials for everyone to ensure that everyone can worry about the future", Sun Qian knew that now they were no different from a blind man touching an elephant, and they couldn't make any detailed plans.

In the evening, Sun Qian came to a platoon of stations.

"Young master, you're all ready." , Sun Xing stepped forward to report.

"Well, get on the bus and go." , Sun Qian ordered directly.

A row of people quickly boarded the car, there was still some distance from the front line, in order to save physical strength, Sun Qian specially asked the coalition army for more than a dozen cars to ensure the return and forth.

Sitting in the front cab of the car, looking at the front of the eyes full of desolation, Sun Gan did not have a trace of nervousness, after all, this is the first time that real guns and ammunition have been on the battlefield, and a person will die if he is not careful, no matter how good the drill is, it can't compare to the actual battle. Sun Qian secretly thought to himself that he must ensure that his subordinates could come back alive, which is also the reason why he repeatedly instructed.

When the last 5 kilometers remained, the driver sent by the coalition forces did not dare to leave, and if they went any further, they were likely to run into mines or run into German scouts, and the target of the car was too large and unsafe.

"Sir, I can only send you here, and if you go any further, you will most likely be discovered." , the driver explained to Sun Qian.

"Okay, that's it, you go back directly, you come to pick us up again at this time in ten days, just in the woods we passed by before, if we don't show up, you can come and pick us up again in five days, the time remains the same." , Sun Qian made arrangements for the driver.

"Yes, sir, I wish you every success." , The driver blessed everyone, he knew that this place now belonged to the Germans, Sun Qian, they were now risking their lives, and if they were not careful, they would die without a place to bury.

"Okay, we'll see you later." , Sun Qian jumped out of the car.

"Everybody get out of the car." , Sun Qian instructed everyone to get out of the car.

"Brothers, I don't want to say more, this mission is our first actual battle, I have no other requirements, I just hope that you can complete the mission as much as possible under the premise of safety, but you must remember that we are soldiers, and I don't want you to be a coward if we need to sacrifice. I ask you not to spare every inch of the opposing line of defense. ”。 Sun Qian instructed uneasily.

"Now take the squad as a unit, check the equipment, check your weapons, supplies, and camouflage nets, and we'll set off in ten minutes." , Sun Qian is about to become a mother-in-law-level figure, and the nagging is endless.

Taking advantage of the night, everyone set off with apprehension and excitement. The first real combat mission is always overwhelming!

Sun Qian set off with the second squad, and the group of people quickly approached the enemy's defense line by taking advantage of the night. Everyone lined up in a tactical formation, and the top soldiers in front of them were vigilantly observing the surroundings, not letting go of a trace of suspicion, and it was always right to be careful on the first mission.

Suddenly, the sharp soldiers in front made a gesture, and everyone immediately chose a shelter nearby. Sun Qian and the second squad leader touched the position of the top soldier.

"Look, sir, it's a treacherous thunder." The sharpshooter pointed to the half-height of the two trees in front of him, and a thin silk thread was swaying in the breeze.

Looking in the direction of the thin silk thread, Sun Qian found a trick mine in the hollow of the trunk of a tree, if it weren't for the vigilance of the sharp soldiers, this reconnaissance mission would probably end before it began.

After carefully removing the thunderbolt, Sun Qian cautiously took the telescope and carefully observed it to confirm that there were no other problems around, and then he was relieved, it seems that the greater purpose of this thunderbolt is to play a warning role.

"Tell the people below, don't be too scattered, and pay attention to the surrounding situation, we are about to enter the opponent's defensive circle." , Sun Qian instructed the second squad leader.

"Yes, sir." , the second squad leader quickly explained.

After that, Sun Qian and the others saw the ruthlessness of the German army, and all kinds of trickery mines emerged in endlessly, including anti-infantry jumping mines, chain mines, and grenade modified hanging mines, which were only the outer defense line, and they didn't know what it should be like when they reached the core defensive position.

After a lot of hardships and spending most of the night, Sun Qian and his others finally came to the front line of the German defense.

The Germans did not rely on the defensive line to defend it, and also arranged a lot of forward observation posts before the defensive line, and after marking all these forward observation posts, Sun Qian and his group found a blind spot of the other side to hide and wait for dawn.

After two hours of rest, it was dawning. This is when everyone discovers the horror of the opposite line of defense, and in everyone's field of vision, it is full of various defensive measures. The three-dimensional defensive position composed of heavy artillery bunkers, serial machine gun fortresses, and infantry trenches made it impossible for people who had never seen it to find a flaw.

"Don't worry, let's mark our findings first." , Sun Qian could only ask everyone to mark the enemy defense facilities found on the surface as much as possible.

Sun Gan and the others began to disperse cautiously, and throughout the day, the group of people carefully began to reconnoiter under the noses of the enemy.

"Sir, look at our 9 o'clock direction, there seems to be a problem." , Walking on the outermost side was Sun Qian's group, and soon some team members discovered the abnormality.

Sun Qian hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the way the team members' fingers looked, and an inconspicuous small dirt bag appeared in front of him.

"Just now I saw a trail of green smoke coming from under this dirt bag, and it felt like someone was smoking." , the lead team member introduced.

Sun Gan, who had been observing with a telescope for a long time and didn't see anything, was a little suspicious, but out of his understanding of him, Sun Gan didn't dare to take it lightly. After thinking about it, Sun Qian still asked people to stop and observe again. And have someone inform the class of the situation so that it can be taken seriously.

"Let's wait a little longer, take a closer look, and if someone does smoke, after a while, they will definitely smoke again." , Sun Qian thought for a while and said to everyone.

Everyone carefully lurked, did not dare to move, waited for more than two hours, and finally found out again.

"Look, sir." , a member of the team said cautiously.

Everyone looked at the smoking dirt bag for a while, and if it weren't for Sun Gan's team members who happened to find the enemy army smoking, they would definitely fall into the end of the total annihilation.

Sun Qian didn't dare to go any further, he knew that if they didn't find out the situation of this dark fortress, they wouldn't be able to complete the next task at all.
