Takahashi quietly returned to the top of the hill where the rest of the team members were hidden, gathered the surrounding team members and whispered: "Now the situation has changed, I don't know why a large number of troops suddenly appeared around the target?" The motive is unknown, and we must grasp the distribution of this group of troops, otherwise we will not be able to complete the sniper operation at all."

He said and turned his head to look at Aso: "After dawn, you are responsible for bringing a few people who can speak Chinese to carry out reconnaissance around the target." Didn't you already prepare several sets of hunter's costumes according to the plan of action? ”

Aso nodded and quickly replied, "I'm ready." Takahashi immediately ordered to retreat more than ten kilometers back, and found a hidden cave in the surrounding mountains to hide.

Early the next morning, Aso and three members of the team who were familiar with Chinese disguised themselves as local hunters, with machetes at their waists, bows and arrows, and quivers on their backs, walked to the mountains in front.

Four days later, in the evening, the Aso and the others returned to the vicinity of their hidden cave in Takahashi. Several people scattered and climbed up the hillside where the cave was located, watching the movement around them as they went, in case someone was following them.

Clusters of shrubs and weeds grow on the hillside, and rocks are scattered on the hillside. Aso crawled straight to the side of a boulder halfway up the mountain, where there was an inconspicuous pile of rocks and weeds, and just as he approached the rock, a black shadow suddenly flashed from behind the boulder on the side, and the black muzzle of the automatic rifle in his hand was pointed at his chest, followed by a low question.

Aso replied in a low voice, and the black shadow flashed and disappeared behind the boulder next to him. Aso knew it was a member of the team who was on guard at the entrance of the cave. He walked to the pile of rocks and glanced behind him, then gestured to the people around him to raise his hand and let them rest on the spot, and disappeared behind the stones in a flash.

Behind the stone is a cave more than half a person high, and there are several large stones and branches in front of the cave, which Takahashi led people to move from around to cover the entrance of the cave when they moved here.

Aso walked into the cave alone. The entrance to the cave is not large, but it is extremely spacious, and a cool breeze blows through the cave. It is a cave that runs through the mountain, and there are exits on both sides of the hillside, so there is no humid and stuffy feeling of a closed cave.

The cave twists and turns, Aso walked dozens of meters away in the dark, turned a big bay, the cave in front of him just suddenly opened up, there were several burning torches inserted in the dark cave wall, and a bonfire burned in the center of the cave, illuminating the dark cave very brightly.

Aso covered his eyes to get used to the bright light in front of him, and then looked around, and saw that the deputy head of the regiment, Takahashi, and the three team members were sitting on the stone wall with their eyes closed, and the rest of the team members were obviously on guard near the entrance of the cave.

He took off the longbow and machete on his body and put it aside, raised his foot and came to Takahashi, just about to report the situation, Takahashi waved his hand to the side and asked him to sit down, then handed over a cup of hot coffee in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Have you found out?" ”

Aso took the coffee and glanced gratefully at the deputy head of the group, who and the head of the group, Takahashi, were two people with very different personalities. The regiment commander has a violent temperament and never sympathizes with his subordinates, but this Takahashi is indeed approachable, and it is rare to see him in a hurry, and they all thought that he was only responsible for planning and logistics, and did not know that he was also a sniper who could fight well.

Aso took a sip of coffee to clear his throat, then looked at Takahashi and said, "We've been going around the goal for five kilometers in the past few days. Judging from the reconnaissance situation, the opposing force was stationed around the target and established a defensive line with a radius of five kilometers around the hill where the target was located, with a strength of about one battalion. During the day, they were all conducting military training, and the soldiers were equipped with quite good equipment, and they did not seem to be ordinary troops", he said here, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

He paused, took out a topographic map from his body, spread it on the rock in front of Takahashi, pointed to the map and continued: "We have been circling around the target for several days, but we have not been able to get close to within five kilometers. There are each other's sentry posts on the top of the surrounding hills, and the sentry posts are no more than two kilometers apart, which can echo each other. We were afraid of arousing the suspicion of the other side, so we did not dare to reconnoiter within five kilometers."

When Aso said this, he glanced up at Takahashi with some apprehension, afraid that he would scold him for not daring to go deeper into reconnaissance. Unexpectedly, Takahashi nodded and said: "Well done, we must not arouse the suspicion of the other party, otherwise we will lose the secrecy of our actions." You go on to say".

Seeing that Takahashi didn't mean to blame himself, Aso let out a breath and reported: "However, we stayed for a while in the high mountains five kilometers away, and observed the normal movements of this army through the guò telescope. They are all around here during the day, using the mountainous terrain to organize corresponding military training, and the training is in full swing, and from the analysis of the training level of the other party, this is really a well-equipped team, and the training level looks not bad."

He paused here, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "We hid in the shadows, focusing on the distribution of their troops and the defense of the target position. Judging from the distribution of their camp, it should be three companies, forming a triangle about three males around the target, enclosing the peak of the target in the middle."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and pointed to a circle he had drawn on the map: "Judging from the distribution of the sentry positions, the opponent has a dense defensive line two kilometers around the target position, and this defensive line always exists regardless of whether the opponent is training or resting. From this point of view, this sudden appearance of the force is not only here to carry out military training, but also to protect the leopard. At the same time, it can also be determined that the leopard must be here, otherwise it would never have sent such a well-equipped army to set up a defensive line."

After listening to Aso's report, Takahashi nodded with satisfaction, then looked down at the map and pondered for a while, then pointed to the several locations marked by Aso on the map when he was scouting and asked, "This is the distribution of the other party's peripheral posts?" ”

Aso looked down at the map and replied, "Yes, the circle on the map is the opponent's two-kilometer dense defensive circle, and the defensive posture further down there will not be visible."

Takahashi nodded, raised his head to look at Aso and asked, "Last time you heard that Black Hawk sniper Henry say that he and Kobayashi had already injured two leopard members, right?" ”

Aso nodded heavily and replied, "Yes, I heard Henry say it myself, he said that if the other party hadn't come to foreign aid in time, he and Kobayashi would have teamed up to kill the opponent!" ”

Takahashi was silent, and secretly analyzed in his heart: That's right, no wonder the other party sent a battalion of troops to gather here, and those two leopard team members must be recuperating here after being injured, and at the same time prevent their own and Black Eagle's people from coming to retaliate, otherwise they would never have sent so many people to guard.
