"The target position is confirmed, and the countdown to 30 seconds will begin to arrive with artillery fire."

"Understood."

Chen Shen replied briefly, then re-grasped the gun in his hand and stared at the truly "hidden" tower directly in front of him.

In fact, even from his vantage point, from a distance of less than 500 meters, he could barely spot the tower hidden beneath the dense vegetation.

If it weren't for Lin He pointing out the "passage" between the trees, and the slightly abrupt "tree wall" at the end of the passage, even if he stood in front of it, Chen Shen might not have looked at it more.

This is what a real artillery reconnaissance position should look like.

——

But now, the position is about to be destroyed.

After killing the patrolman, Chen Shen immediately called for artillery support, and then within three minutes, all the artillery positions were adjusted.

According to his estimates, after the patrol personnel lose contact, it will take at least two minutes for the enemy to spot the anomaly and one minute to make the decision to evacuate or relocate.

In such a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for them to take away the huge equipment.

So, artillery fire will definitely destroy their equipment.

Even if the lethality of personnel is limited, the purpose of the operation can be achieved.

Counting down to 10 seconds, Chen Shen had already seen the "Flame Ladder" stretching behind him.

Before the ladder arrived, a bright spark had burst into the tree wall in the distance, and then a deafening sound was heard instantly.

"Boom!"

The shells of the M56 hit the target unmistakably, and at a distance close to 7 km, it actually did not exceed two meters!

There is no doubt that this is a great blessing.

In the case of cold cannon firing, not to mention the error of two meters, even if it is 20 meters, it is actually within the acceptable range.

Sometimes, however, things can go in unexpected directions and be unpredictable.

The power of this cannon directly tore through all the camouflage of the tower, and the real counter-battery radar was exposed in front of Chen Shen, and at the same time, there were several weak infrared heat signatures.

That's right, even the original Shadow Corps were able to get anti-infrared camouflage suits, how could these elite soldiers, apparently from the seals, not be fully prepared?

Even after a round of artillery fire, their personnel were still not fully exposed, and at this distance, relying on extremely limited information, the Dongfeng Corps was simply not enough to launch an encirclement attack on them! ——

But fortunately, after the first howitzer hit the target, the second grenade and dozens of rockets followed.

The dense artillery fire completely covered the entire target area in an instant, and the fire from the explosion of the rocket illuminated the jungle and also enveloped the infrared targets that were still active.

Chen Shen lay on the spot unmoved, quietly watching round after round of explosions.

He didn't have the slightest urge to go up and make a move, because he knew that at such a time, any impatient movement could completely expose his position, and then be hunted one by one by the seals who survived the explosion.

You know, they are not pheasant mercenary groups, and they are not former special forces members of MPRI or MPRI who have lost the strength of the "system" and are not as effective as before.

They are serious seals, and even if there is only one person left, they can completely abuse these recruits of the Dongfeng Corps!

There is only one chance to defeat them.

That is, to strike undulating as they retreat.

The location where Chen Shen is located has been carefully selected by the Lin River, and if the seals want to be evacuated, this is the most convenient, fastest, and most "safe" path.

Now, all the people in the Dongfeng Corps have been camouflaged with grass, trees and soil, as long as the other party appears in front of them, as long as they can get close enough, Chen Shen is confident that he can leave them all here.

As the minutes ticked by, the explosion had completely stopped.

The radio signal has been interrupted, which proves that the other side has turned on the signal jamming device and is beginning to enter the retreat process.

The Dongfeng Corps uses frequency-hopping communications, and if it is to be completely blocked, the other side must exert high-power electromagnetic interference.

And this means that they themselves have no way to communicate with each other by radio.

The two sides have entered the same level in terms of the electromagnetic environment, but this does not become an advantage for either side.

The entire jungle had fallen silent again, as if the explosion had never happened, or had been a dispensable episode in the war.

——

However, just when Chen Shen was even a little disappointed and thought that they had evacuated from other routes, a muffled sound suddenly appeared above the heads of the veterans not far from him.

"Bang!"

Chen Shen subconsciously turned his head, and at this moment, he suddenly realized the danger of his action.

In a dark forest, the target of any activity will become the target of the attack!

"Click!"

Chen Shen's hairs stood on end in an instant with the crisp mechanical sound of the typical silencer, and then, without having time to think about it, he jerked over and rolled to his left, while at the same time, the veteran whose helmet had been grazed by the bullet from the side also rolled to his right.

It was definitely not a dense four consecutive gunshots from a distance, and the bullets grazed Chen Shen's body at a fraction of a centimeter angle and burrowed into the dirt of the jungle.

The thick trunk blocked the path of the bullet, but it also blocked the angle from which Chen Shen observed.

He couldn't raise his gun to shoot back, but the other two team members behind him had already opened fire.

"Bang Bang -——"

Violent gunfire rang out, and the bushes in front of them were shattered, but in the time of this breath, the gunmen hiding in the forest had disappeared without a trace, and by the time they ceased fire and lowered themselves to observe, it was too late.

Two subsonic bullets hit them in the neck with unmistakable accuracy, blood gushing out instantly, and they collapsed in the hot and humid jungle before they could even say a word.

However, their lives won a chance for Chen Shen.

Within a second of the enemy's outcrop, his crosshair has locked onto the enemy's position.

The trigger was unconsciously pulled, and after a crisp shot, the enemy fell to the ground on the spot.

Chen Shen's movements hadn't stopped, his muzzle was pulled to another moving target on the side, but before he could shoot, the other party had already quickly pounced into the bushes, and Chen Shen once again lost his vision!

The bullet missed, and Chen Shen fell backwards violently, and the bullet that came at him from nowhere almost grazed the tip of his nose.

Lin He, who was behind him, violently supported his already unstable body, and then with a force, he quickly threw him to the side of the covered body.

And he himself, taking advantage of the faint light of the opponent's gun, fired an extremely short point shot.

No one knew if he had hit his target or not, but after he pounced again, there was silence again.

Chen Shen's heart had fallen to the bottom, he originally thought that his side had taken the initiative and was the "hunter" in this jungle, and the enemy was his prey.

Even if the hunt fails, at least you can get away with it without taking pointless risks.

But in fact, when you find your prey, your prey has already discovered them!

There is only one reason why those seals didn't rush up directly and bite all the Dongfeng Corps to death:

They couldn't locate the location of all the members of the Dongfeng Corps yet, so the first shot was just a temptation!

Chen Shen was extremely glad that he had decided to arrange the formation loosely, and seeing that the situation was deteriorating, he was afraid that his team members would act rashly, so he could only take the risk and shout:

"Stay hidden, everybody!"

"Don't move, they won't find us!"

As soon as the words fell, the two bullets immediately flew in the direction of Chen Shen.

But fortunately, it is not so simple to "listen to the sound and distinguish the position" in the jungle, and the other party does not want to use the continuous fire strategy with the greatest exposure risk, so the two bullets only fell on the position where Chen Shen made the sound.

But even if it was just that, Chen Shen was already frightened enough.

How could they be so fast and so accurate?

This is obviously beyond the limits of what the human body can reach, even if your ears are radar, there is at least an error in positioning, how can they do it, the accuracy of the shot is almost to the level of a hit?

Has seal training evolved to such an eerie level?

Or is it that their team members have all been injected with mutant spider toxins and evolved to the point of spider sensing? ?

didn't have time to think about it, Chen Shen quickly found a good position to hide himself again.

He knows that his own and the other party's current situation is basically the same.

They have anti-infrared camouflage suits, and they also use local methods; The radio of the Dongfeng Corps is not working, and they are most likely silent.

The two sides are truly in a "dark forest", and the one who is discovered first will inevitably suffer a blow from the darkness.

In this case, even the use of throwing objects became a luxury.

Because you don't know if the enemy is 50 meters, 20 meters, or 10 meters away from you!

The moment you pull out a grenade, they really won't catch your big moves?

Only to survive.

Whoever can't hold their breath first is the loser.

But the problem is that the Dongfeng Corps may not have that much time to spend here with them.

Not to mention how long the earthen anti-infrared camouflage on his body can last, just from the overall situation, the battle on the Qingshui River is far from over, and when he is not there and cannot command on the spot, can the Li Gang take the responsibility he should bear?

Chen Shen could only believe in Li Gang unconditionally, because he knew that the importance of the battle he was facing now might not be much lower than the "big war" on the Qingshui River!

If the SEALs can be inflicted heavy losses here, the course of this war could be changed.

Even if it does not force the CIASAD to withdraw from Kachin, even if it plays the opposite role and further escalates the situation, it can be regarded as a victory.

Therefore, he must live, and he must also let the enemy die.

Chen Shen took a deep breath, he knew that the only advantage he could rely on now was Lin He.

Only he can find clues of the enemy's existence in the most complex jungle environment like this.

Therefore, Chen Shen directly gave up observing the enemy, and instead made a gesture to Lin He, indicating his intentions to him.

"I, bait, you, cover."

Lin He hesitated for two seconds, and finally made a gesture of "agree".

So, Chen Shen moved his body slowly, and crawled away from the direction of the Lin River step by step without shaking any ground vegetation as much as possible.

The process was extremely long, and in an hour's time, he could not even move more than 10 meters.

However, it was this 10-meter distance that finally gave him a chance to shoot.

He carefully removed a fragmentation grenade, pulled the latch, and snapped it into the gap between the two banyan aerial roots on the ground.

Then, he did the same, and deployed all three grenades on his body at one-meter intervals.

This series of actions once again consumed 30 minutes of his time, and in these 30 minutes, a new round of clashes had broken out at the ambush point dozens of meters away from him.

It was still a subsonic bullet opening, and the "recruits" of the Dongfeng Corps who were hit by the bulletproof plate subconsciously counterattacked, and his shooting action hit the enemy's arms, and at the moment when the gun was lit up, two bullets hit him in the chest with great accuracy!

Fast and ferocious.

If it weren't for the meritorious work of the fourth-level bulletproof insert, the Dongfeng Corps would have ushered in the third attrition of this night.

After falling on his back, the recruit finally remembered Chen Shen's order, and he suppressed his budding instinct and threw himself into another bush, allowing the bullet to pass over his head.

And just a few rounds later, the gunfire stopped again.

In this round, the Dongfeng Corps did not make any counterattack, because they could not find the faint gunfire in the dense jungle that was concealed by silencers.

Turn-based game.

Chen Shen's mind involuntarily flashed through this slightly absurd concept, but in fact, it is indeed the most appropriate word to describe the current situation

The enemy already has the upper hand, and they are still slowly searching and advancing, and every time they catch a clue of the Dongfeng Corps, they will add another layer to their advantage.

They have more experience and better fighting quality, and the Dongfeng Corps has no means to force them out of the shadows and drag them into the melee that the Dongfeng Corps is good at, and can only fight with the same strategy as them.

All the devices were ready, Chen Shen slowly raised his hand again, and made a "ready" gesture to Lin He.

Lin He stretched out his thumb in response, and Chen Shen gently shoved the muzzle of the gun under the leaves of the bush and pulled the trigger violently!

"Bang Bang -——"

The gunshots rang out continuously, and at the moment of pulling the trigger, Chen Shen had already pounced to the left, but this time, the enemy's bullets actually did not come from his front, but from the right rear!

At the moment when the bullet passed by, Chen Shen twisted his body to complete the action of the gun, and then, in less than 300 milliseconds of reaction time, he aimed at the fleeting fire and pulled the trigger.

Immediately after, two crisp metal collision sounds sounded in succession.

It was the sound of an enemy bullet hitting a tree behind it, a grenade falling off under the shock, and a grip bouncing off.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two explosions in a row were followed by a third explosion, the violent sound disturbed the enemy's judgment, and taking this opportunity, Lin He had already stood up suddenly, raised his gaze, and found the enemy's location!

"The first three trees on the left! Right front boulder! ”

This is the simplest, and indeed the most effective, method of target designation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Shen's muzzle pointed in the direction indicated by Lin He.

In the blink of an eye, gunfire exploded, and the enemy fell to the ground.

But this time, they didn't try to hide again.

The dense bullets were overwhelmingly pressed in the direction where Chen Shen was, and he quickly lowered his position to hide, and at this time, the other members of the Eastern Corps had already opened fire!

The guns of M249 rang out, and the real big battle finally began.
