The Chechen Autonomous Republic is actually very small, and after the baptism of war in 1995 and 2004, the entire city of Grozny was devastated and almost completely destroyed. After the war subsided and Grozny was rebuilt, there are now new buildings in the city, including high-rise commercial buildings, new hotels, shopping malls, high-end restaurants, museums, sports grounds, large mosques, presidential palaces, wide roads and bridges, etc., all of which have been rebuilt after the war, and there is no trace of war.

Travel to the mountain lakes on the outskirts of the city, which take two and a half hours to reach on a rugged and winding mountain road. It is said that there were originally people living in this mountainous area, but most of the stone houses have collapsed due to the migration to escape the war. And the former military fortress where Gross is entrenched is between the mountains.

A special armed team walked through the mountains and forests, leaving almost no trace along the way. The men were all dressed in colorful mountain camouflage, tactical helmets and well-armed. During the whole march, there was no movement except for the sound of military boots stepping on fallen leaves.

Suddenly, the leader of the warrior stopped, raised his hand and clenched his fist in a tactical gesture of stopping. The warriors behind him crouched down one after another, looking for shelter and hiding nearby. The one at the head of the warrior not only wore a helmet, but also covered his face tightly with a plaid turban, revealing only a pair of glittering eyes.

After he stopped, he looked at the map, turned on the comm on his helmet, and whispered, "Thunder." Action Identification Code 452284406. The fifth squad had reached its intended target and encountered no resistance along the way. ”

"Good, you guys are twelve minutes ahead of schedule. There is a river in front of you, and the fortress is on the other side of the river at eleven o'clock, so watch and hide, and wait for the dark operation, and it will be over. Tang Kun's voice came from the communication.

"Roger, done. After turning off the communication, Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, ripped off the headscarf covering his face, and took a good breath of the air between the mountains and forests. He glanced at the rest of the team and whispered, "Be careful. Qin Fen and Peng Lefeng, you are responsible for guarding and finding out the surrounding terrain. Chen Nanqing, you come with me, let's go to the front and have a look. ”

Lin Rui and team member Chen Nanqing quietly touched the position close to the fortress, Lin Ruixuan's observation position was very good, they were on a densely vegetated hillside. Looking down on the military fortress below, you can see almost everything at a glance.

"You're in charge of ranging. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "I'm here to find out where they're hiding. He turned on the thermal imager and took a closer look at every corner of the military fortress. "In the southeast corner, two people on the sniper tower, possibly equipped with sniper weapons, the model of the weapon is unknown. Between the main entrance and the barracks, there is a three-person patrol team, which appears to be using AK74s. On the right side of the main entrance, there is a machine gun, like an M240. ”

Every time Lin Rui said a word, Chen Nanqing behind him used a rangefinder to measure the fine distance. "What are we going to do next?" Chen Nanqing said in a low voice.

"That patrol team is the key, whether we can sneak in is up to us to see if we can deal with them. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "However, ordinary patrols are always regular, because the distance from the open space in front of the main gate of the fortress to the inside of the fortress is fixed. If their patrol route is also fixed, then we can accurately estimate when they will be there and when they will be in a blind spot based on their stride length and pace. ”

"Isn't that easy, anyway, we observe every patrol they make, and then we can calculate it. Chen Nanqing said in a low voice.

Lin Rui suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

"Xiaolin, what's wrong?" Chen Nanqing said in a low voice.

"Nothing, it's just that we might be in trouble. Lin Rui smiled bitterly.

Chen Nanqing frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Those patrols are more than just a group of people. And their patrol time, intermittent cycles are not fixed. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "In other words, we can't control their patrol intervals." Maybe we avoided one of them, and it would be easy for us to run into the other. This Gross is really cunning. ”

"How do you know?" Chen Nanqing said in a low voice, "I don't look any different, it's always these people who are on patrol." ”

"No, they're just dressed the same. That's what Gross wants to confuse us, and there are three of these patrols. But deliberately dressed in the same style, the first person wore a green beret, while the second person wore a vest, and the last person wore a camouflage hood. From a distance, these people seem to be the same team. But in reality, there are subtle differences between them. In fact, it is not one patrol, but three teams in a cycle. If we follow the conventional way of thinking and think that we have avoided the patrol, we will definitely be stopped by them halfway. Lin Rui frowned.

"What then?" said Chen Nanqing in a low voice.

"Let me think again. Lin Rui said helplessly, "The most important thing is not these patrols, but once they find us, the sniper tower in the distance and the machine gun fire above the main gate will cause us a direct and huge blow." Alright, mark all of this first and send it back to the command center. ”

The reconnaissance records of Lin Rui and the others were transmitted back to the command center of the training camp. Zhao Jianfei turned on the computer, looked at it, and said, "Gross's defense is very strict, and he looks like he is facing a great enemy." This fortress is also a hard bone. ”

Michelle silently looked at the battlefield text sent back by Lin Rui and the others, and asked Zhao Jianfei lightly, "What equipment did they bring this time?"

"In addition to the standard class equipment, I also chose something unconventional. Zhao Jianfei handed Michelle a detailed list.

"Oh, and I even chose a bow and arrow. Simply deadly, yet silent. Yes, these newcomers are starting to get a little interesting. Michelle smiled and said, "As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one." Just looking at their choices, they seem to be half experts. ”

"However, these sniper towers are not something that can be dealt with with a bow and arrow, and judging by the location of the sniper towers and the distance to the gate, their weapons have a range of more than nine hundred meters. In other words, the shooter on the sniper tower uses a heavy sniper weapon. Zhao Jianfei said lightly.

"Anti-materiel sniper rifles. Precise and brutal, much like Gross's style. Michelle smiled and said, "So, you see the problem?"

"Yes, it is no problem for Lin Rui and the others to infiltrate the inside of the fortress through the guò drainage facilities, but if you don't solve those sniper towers and the machine guns here. Well, they're like a row of moving targets, just waiting to be shot. Zhao Jianfei said slowly.

"Don't forget, we have Tang Kun. Michelle smiled slightly, "This is the most dangerous and deadly long-range killer ever." ”

"But the problem is, he can't be directly involved. You know, it's the rule. He can lead the team in command, but he cannot personally participate in the battle. Otherwise, the point of testing this team will be lost. Zhao Jianfei frowned.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there's this damn rule. Michelle smiled faintly and said, "Relax, Jianfei." I'm sure they'll figure it out. ”

Zhao Jianfei frowned and said, "Do you need me to remind them?"

"No need, Jianfei, if Lin Rui and the others can't even think of this, it means that I have seen the wrong person, and he is not suitable for this bowl of rice. It is true that the mercenary profession is a knife licking blood, but it does not rely only on blind courage, only smart people can go further on this road. Michelle said lightly, "I want to take a break, you preside over the whole battle." ”

Zhao Jianfei nodded and was silent.

Lin Rui and the other members of the fifth team were still lurking in the mountains, relying on the dense vegetation and rocks to construct a simple observation point. They took turns observing the military activity in the fortress opposite. All observations were recorded and sent back to the command center via battlefield communication equipment.

Lin Rui looked at his watch and said in a low voice, "There are still more than three hours, and it will be completely night." We are the lead of all, and everyone is waiting for the success of our infiltration operation. But I suddenly had a decision. ”

"What decision?" Qin Fen said in a low voice.

And so on. Lin Rui said slowly, "In this operation, the time stipulated above for us is seventy-two hours, that is, we still have time." So I decided not to act today. Stand by and see how it happens tomorrow. ”

"Why?" Qin Fen said in surprise, "If we don't act, then Instructor Tang and the others won't take action." The whole operation will not begin. But why is that?"

Lin Rui said calmly, "The order we received is to take that fortress within seventy-two hours. And the orders of Gross and the others, of course, were also there for seventy-two hours. I'm sure the night is when they're on high alert. While we waited for our time, they were actually waiting for us to attack. Psychologically, we still have an advantage. Because they don't know when we're going to attack, they're the ones who are scared. As for us, let's get some rest first. ”

Qin Fen hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to notify the command first about this matter?"

"I've already done this, and Instructor Zhao has agreed to my temporary plan. Lin Rui said lightly, "Today we can rest assured, but those mercenaries from Gross on the other side will be nervous all night." And by noon tomorrow, it is a person who turns from nervous to the most relaxed and lazy state. At this point, we start diving in again. And at the same time, we have one more job to do. ”

"What kind of work?" Qin Fen frowned.

"Eliminate these threats. Lin Rui pointed to the location of several sniper points on the map and the machine gun fire, "If we don't get rid of them, both ourselves and the follow-up team will be exposed to the opponent's firepower." ”
