Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ambush Plan and Broadsword Mine [Seeking Pursuit I.]
Of course, ideas are always good.
Whether it can be successfully implemented depends on the actual situation.
Judging from Chen Xuan's strategic arrangement alone, recruiting a group of Naroa talents is also part of the plan.
After a moment of thought, Ophelia took the initiative to break the silence.
"Master, those guys are still following me..."
"At least three seasoned veteran scouts."
"My actions are under their watch!"
Chen Xuan frowned, the half-elf eldest lady was his agent who was currently walking in the city.
She needed to do a lot of things.
It's no exaggeration to say that Ophelia has attracted a lot of stares and peeps that should have been borne by him.
The business in the city is a big cake, and when he wants to enter the restaurant, he will inevitably encounter all kinds of resistance.
Including the death of Harward, the conspiracy of his stepmother Yusula, and the changes in the Axo family, they were essentially caused by his attempts to expand the scale of the business.
This is the source of everything, and it is also the real catalyst and fuse.
If Ophelia is still the same silly white sweet, maybe the hidden dangers of these contradictions still exist, but they will definitely not change drastically in such a short period of time.
In the final analysis, it was he Chen who caused the butterfly to flap its wings and the lava to erupt early.
"The hosts... Are you listening? ”
After another brief silence, Ophelia asked timidly.
"Don't stay in the baths."
"Find a secluded, open place to deal with those guys."
"Tell us the place in advance, and I'll take someone to the scene first."
"You can arrive later, but be sure to keep an eye out for and stay away from the little red dots..."
"It's best to direct the enemy to a marked place."
Chen Xuan's words gave her a dose of heart booster.
At least let her understand that she is not helpless.
Speaking of which, Ophelia's current situation is also very embarrassing, belonging to the situation where her grandmother doesn't hurt and her uncle doesn't love her.
His father, Ansetus, plays the role of a tool man.
Apparently a shrewd character who can run a business group, but in many ways he seems quite insensitive, and Ophelia sometimes feels as if her father is worried and running away from something.
Stepmom Eusula hides a plot and her union with Ansetus is more of a hasty decision, but the nature of many things changes after the red-haired Walton family paves the way for the colchicum merchants.
The situation faced by the half-elf eldest lady who became Ah Xuan's talker and was sandwiched between the two parties can be imagined.
Chen Xuan believed that the arrangement to subdue the Iron Knight could be carried forward first, and Ophelia's problem must be solved immediately.
A private room in the water spirit bathhouse.
After the end of the intercom, Ophelia's expression returned from her original anxiety to a relatively calm state.
Walking quickly out of the room, she went to the front desk of the bath and retrieved the weapon she had deposited.
Then he came to the stable and rode his bicycle, and drove unhurriedly towards the north of the city.
There are also occasional stops along the way to buy snacks and take a leisurely pause.
It looks like a relaxing moment.
The three scouts disappeared into the crowd, still following in a deterrent manner.
……
In the cellar where Chen Xuan stored his munitions.
Relying on the Bronze-level Demon Essence cultivation, he found the target he needed according to the English markings on the armory.
It was a box of M18A1 Broadsword mines.
This is a classic mine from the Bald Eagle family, especially in jungle and mountain environments.
It looks like a curved box, roughly the size of a military kettle
On the curved side are three words made up of capital letters:
“FRONT TOWARD ENEMY”
(Facing Enemies)
In terms of actual combat performance, the M18A1 Broadsword mine can be called perfect.
There are corresponding solutions to the various deficiencies in the previous generation model reported by the military.
To increase the power, the designers replaced the TNT with the more powerful C4 explosive – which guaranteed higher velocity and a larger killing area.
In response to the power problem, the designers installed the battery at the same time, but also added an M57 pulse ignition, the latter is essentially a small power generation device, as long as the handle is pressed three times in a row, it can generate a voltage of 3 volts, enough to detonate the electric detonator in the mine.
At the same time, there is also a supercharger that can be described as a miracle stroke, which guarantees that mines can be detonated in tandem.
As for the housing, the M18A1 switched to an engineering plastic reinforced with fiberglass (composite), which reduces the risk of its failure and failure.
In fact, you won't even find a single excess on this type of mine.
Above the casing is an aiming hole.
And on both sides of the sighting hole is the location of the detonator.
Two pairs of scissor-shaped brackets are also installed under the thunder shell, which are simple and sturdy, making it easy to fix in the field.
And the real mystery lies in the shell.
On the front of the thunder body were 700 steel balls with a total weight of 650 grams, and on the back were 650 grams of C4 explosives!
As long as the mine is detonated, the raindrops of steel balls can effectively kill the enemy at a range of 50-100 meters at an angle of 60-120 degrees from its front.
It was precisely because of its great lethality that this mine soon received a nickname - "Broadsword".
It means that the mine is as lethal as a giant's broadsword.
The M18A1 mine can be detonated manually or triggered by the use of various pulling, tripping and pressing devices, which can be used alone.
It is even possible to connect several mines in parallel into a single mine array.
For the Karen ethnic forces, who fought most of the time in a jungle environment.
Broadsword mines are an indispensable weapon.
Moreover, the indiscriminate use of landmines in the Dian Burma area is quite high.
In July 2022, the military and police government in Myanmar was also accused by Amnesty for "improper use" of landmines.
In 2017, it became the "only" country in the world to use landmines that year.
Of course, this is the only one that must be put in quotation marks, but it also proves how widespread landmines are in Dianmyanmar.
This batch of M18A1 Broadsword mines is a facelift.
The main detonation method is manual operation,
An electric detonator was installed in the detonator room.
At the same time, the foot wire of the electric detonator is led out of the wire hole at the top of the detonator chamber.
Then connect the wire to the foot wire of the electric detonator, and finally connect it to the pulse igniter.
These mines are detonated without pressure sensitivity and tripwires, and are all ignited by radio pulses.
The maximum maneuvering distance is 600 meters, and each broadsword mine is equipped with a matching igniter.
Theoretically, this mine can also be DIY again, changing to multiple detonation or reverting to tripping and pressure-sensitive detonation.
However, Chen Xuan didn't plan to change them, and radio detonation was safer for him.
Of this batch of ordnance in the cellar, there are four boxes of M18A1 Broadsword mines alone!
Now, at last, it's time for them to come in handy.
Chen Xuan is ready to fight an ambush battle, and the broadsword will definitely make the enemy taste the bitter fruit.
Fifty of them were removed and put into storage, and he replenished some other matching ammunition.
When everything is ready, put on body armor, a black and gray jacket and tactical glasses.
Rebecca is dressed in a similar way and is gearing up.
At Chen Xuan's request, the two Dora sisters also put an extra cloth towel around their necks to cover their faces.
In this case, just wear a hood and tactical goggles to completely block their faces.
When he killed the "one-eyed cow" Henry last time, Chen Xuan flashed back directly with them.
After all, Stink Mouse Alley is not too far from the rented courtyard.
But this time was different, Ophelia chose the outskirts of the North End for the ambush.
There is a shanty town that has been hit by fire not long ago.
The out-of-control, tyrannical flames burned down nearly half of the streets, creating a desolate and untouched area.
Once everything was ready, the four of them were ready to go.
In addition to the two-eight-bar bicycle that Rebecca usually rides, Chen Xuan also has one in his storage compartment.
At this time, it is possible to set off in pairs.
Little Nick, who had just opened his senses, stood by the door of the side room, watched them leave with envy, and then closed the courtyard door.
In the eyes of the Naroa natives, goggles are a strange and cool face armor.
……
Ophelia stopped and stopped, estimating how long it would take her master to reach the ambush.
She was clutching a red fruit in her hand and leaning on the side of her bicycle and eating it.
The juice of the fruit dripped on the hard ground, and soon attracted a bunch of ants in front of it.
In the corner of a nearby wall, several sneaky figures were whispering.
"Her actions today are very abnormal!"
"I deliberately went to the water fairy bath just now."
One of the young male scouts wearing a black cloth hat and a scarf around his neck whispered.
Beside him stood a scout of a short-haired human female, dressed in leather armor and short leather pants, with a rose wrapped around a serpent tattooed on the back of her hand and dense earrings around her ears.
The corners of the eyes are covered with thick eyeshadow, which is quite a kind of blue star's non-mainstream "cultural revival".
When this guy heard the words of the scout in the cloth hat, he immediately sneered.
He raised his hand and touched his cheek lightly.
"Cut!"
"Humph!"
"Marcello, you stupid boy."
"That half-elf girl has already discovered us."
"Last Naroa Day was with a monster dog, this time it's in the bathhouse."
"She's a clever guy!"
"Leave this alone, the employer just told us to keep an eye on her and record her trip, and it doesn't matter if she finds out."
I saw the young scout pouting and grabbing the female scout in reverse along her arm.
"Dear Marisol, when this commission is over, we can have a drink."
"Just like that good night."
The two figures were still discussing the mission goal, but before they knew it, they were entangled together.
The corner behind the wall resounded with the sound of wheezing during exercise.
"Hell!"
"Both of you should be burned at the stake!"
"Marisol, Marcelo! This is not a lover's hostel, watch your behavior! ”
Just as the two were preparing for a big fight, a discordant voice appeared.
I saw a short figure go from faint to clear.
It was a rare halfling scout.
You must know that halflings are subject to the influence of ethnic characteristics, and the combat effectiveness of the same rank can be described as the younger brother of the younger brother.
The reason why he was able to become a senior scout was that this guy had mastered a second-order stealth magic technique!
It only takes a few seconds to prepare, and the halfling scout can be physically reduced to a state of indifference that is imperceptible to the naked eye.
Although there is still a big gap with stealth in the real sense.
But it also makes his tracking and assassination invincible.
"You noisy, short deformity!"
"Can't you just wait for me to finish the good deeds first?"
The young scout couldn't help but complain, the tent standing out.
Marisol was also misty-eyed, and her mouth and nose spewed hot breath.
Seeing the attitude of the two, the halfling scout jumped up angrily.
"That half-elf girl is back on her way!"
……
Chen Xuan and the four of them arrived at the burned streets and alleys in the North District first.
Looking at the large area of pitch-black ruins in front of him, and the silence and inhabited environment around him, he nodded silently.
"Ophelia has chosen a good place."
The site here is large enough, and the ruins are more complex.
It is surrounded by other shanty towns.
Various earthen walls, miscellaneous objects, and shacks that seem to be patched together form a relatively isolated environment.
It's one of the few places in the city that is suitable for killing people and stealing goods.
He took out a jar of red spray paint from the storage compartment and then chose a suitable location for minelaying and fighting.
To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan arranged three lightning points, which could be remotely detonated with different igniters.
In every conspicuous position outside the lightning spot, he spray-painted red on the black wall with red paint, leaving a palm-sized red dot.
After making preparations, after hiding the bicycle, Chen Xuan let the three girls hide in the ruins in different directions.
Each looking for a hidden corner.
He himself was lying behind a slightly higher cliff.
He took out the SSG69 sniper rifle at hand, pulled open the front bracket, and aimed at the area ahead through the magnifier.
……
Ophelia, who rode her bicycle into the northern district of Magdam, was always on high alert.
In order to prevent the suspicion of the stalkers behind her, she deliberately walked around the slum streets of the North District several times, creating the illusion that she was connecting with someone.
According to the other party's posture, she will definitely not miss every part of her trip.
When the time was right, she rode into the agreed place.
Without a haste to send the signal, Ophelia wandered around the ruins for a while, confirming the red dots before stopping at the right place.
Parking her bike against the low wall, she suddenly shouted loudly as she faced the marker.
"Don't hide, come out!"
"I've already found your tracks!"
"Since you don't care, why don't you come out and meet up?"
There was no movement in the surrounding ruins, and the other party was not so composed.
After waiting for a moment, Ophelia raised an eyebrow and took a money bag from her bosom.
A few dark gold coins were poured out of it.
Since communication is useless, it is better to simply lay heavy bait.
No matter who sent the other party, they can't resist the temptation of money.
If she really didn't have a bad money, the scout who followed her wouldn't be someone else's hawk dog.
It worked.
A figure in front of her and a figure on her side leaped high above the ruins!
……
If nothing else, there are two more shifts today
