Chapter 1088: Discovering the Dark Sentinel
The sunset dissipated the afterglow, the vast desert was a little more bleak, the wind rose, with a bit of biting chill set off the yellow sand flying, in the void put the Buddha ghost like a ghost, and soon dissipated between the dead silence between the world and the earth, looking at it, I could not see a little green vitality, nor could I hear any other sounds, the long yellow sand was quiet and maddening, monotonous and suffocating.
A heavily armed team is slowly descending in battle formation, not walking fast, wrapped in towels on their faces, to avoid yellow sand from entering their bodies and mouths, and even their eyes are wearing a pair of wide eyes to shield the erosion of wind and sand.
There are two people walking at the front of the team, it is Li Rui and Chihu, the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, which is not conducive to walking, but it will be late, if you can't find a shelter before dark, you will be frozen to death at night without waiting for the enemy to attack, no one can spend the night in the cold wind of more than 30 degrees below zero, and you can't have equipment, you must find a place where there is no wind.
Along the way, Li Rui silently looked at the slow movement ahead, his mood was a little heavy, suddenly, Li Rui sensed the breath of life of someone, couldn't help but be shocked, quickly raised his right hand to signal the troops to stop, and he himself stopped, kneeling and raising his gun, looking through the sniper scope towards the place where the breath of life breathed, where the terrain was flat and full of yellow sand, and there was no difference from the surroundings, and there was no suspicion.
Chihu also looked at it in surprise and said in a low voice: "I can't see any traces, what's the problem?" ”
The front has a wide field of vision, at a glance, the yellow sand on the flat sand flows with the wind, it doesn't look like someone is ambushed at all, with the ability of the red tiger, no clues have been found, and others have also not found abnormalities, but Li Rui is different, keenly perceived the existence of the breath of life, this is a very mysterious feeling, as if you can feel the existence of people around you when you walk at night, it is ineffable, but it is real.
Li Rui trusted his instincts and said in a deep voice: "Someone is lurking under the yellow sand. ”
"Anyone?" Chihu raised the telescope again in surprise, the telescope also has infrared thermal imaging effect, but he couldn't see anything in front of him, and he estimated that the other party was wearing an anti-infrared combat suit, his face sank, and he put down the telescope and whispered: "Specific location?" I'm going to kill him. ”
"Don't worry, everyone should be vigilant, and if you find an abnormality, you can fire directly, and you don't need to ask for instructions." Li Rui said in a deep voice, and gave an order to the brothers behind him, the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and it will be too late to shoot when he is asked, and he must improvise.
"Yes." Everyone answered in a deep voice, cheering up.
"Falcon, come here." Li Rui continued.
After a while, the eagle falcon trotted up from the back of the team, glanced at Li Rui in surprise, and immediately stared ahead, Li Rui said in a low voice: "Directly in front of the eleven o'clock direction, about a hundred meters away, give me an eye on the target, and fire immediately if I find an abnormality, and the others will slowly move forward with me, Dad, there is a chance to catch the live mouth, we need intelligence." ”
"Understood." Everyone whispered.
The troops slowly advanced forward, as if they didn't know anything, but the Eagle Falcon stared at the target according to Li Rui's instructions, regardless of the slightest carelessness, the master was fighting, between life and death, the slightest negligence was death, Li Rui was not sure what the other party's strength was, so he asked the intermediate pre-firing sniper Eagle Falcon to come over to help, but he wanted to catch the mouth alive in his heart, so he explained to Chihu.
Chihu understood Li Rui's intentions, and also stared at the target location, and found that there was no movement there, and the yellow sand and dust on the ground danced in the wind, which was no different from other places, and it didn't look like someone was hiding at all, but out of absolute trust in Li Rui, he also didn't dare to take it lightly.
The troops continued to move forward, walking, the falcon suddenly raised the gun, quickly pulled the trigger, a fighting spirit rushed to the sky, without waiting for everyone to react, the laser was submerged in the sand in front of it, and then, the eagle falcon uneasily continued to pull the trigger, and two more shots passed, blocking other directions.
Everyone looked up in shock, and found that the flat sand in front of them was suddenly lifted, and the yellow sand flew, revealing a person wearing a desert combat uniform.
"Everybody stay put." Li Rui roared in a deep voice and rushed over quickly.
Chihu was not at ease, and rushed up after him, and the two quickly came to the corpse, and found that it was a black-skinned person, with a height of one meter eight, burly and strong, and no longer alive, and there was a desert sniper rifle next to it, and there was a pit in the ground, and the pit was fixed with a wooden plank, and there was a wooden plank next to it.
Li Rui saw this and understood, this person had long been hidden here, using wooden planks to strengthen the surroundings to facilitate lurking, and then using wooden planks to block the top to prevent the yellow sand from penetrating down, a very simple device, but very practical, the hidden pit was about two meters deep, enough for the other party to move freely below.
There are still some food garbage bags under the pit, and some urine smell, obviously squatting here for a long time, Li Rui's face changed greatly when he saw this scene, and he looked at Chihu, who also said with a heavy face: "Fixed sentry, a common tactic in desert warfare, is only used for observation and intelligence collection, and action is not allowed without exposure." ”
"Falcon?" Li Rui looked back at the army and shouted.
"Here." The falcon hurriedly ran over, looked at the scene, and said in a deep voice: "Captain, this bastard should have realized that he was exposed and wanted to do it, I saw a white light, it should be a mirror or something, so I opened fire." ”
Li Rui saw that the corpse was really holding a small mirror in his hand, Chihu went up to take a look at the mirror, and said in a deep voice: "A common technique, using the mirror reflection to observe the outside world, it should be a reflection of the sunlight to be discovered, fortunately, it is better to fire first, otherwise it is possible that we will die, and this tactic will generally have auxiliary means." ”
"What do you mean?" Li Rui asked suspiciously.
"To put it simply, this person will fire first when he realizes that he is exposed, and he will run away after the fight, and a large number of grenades must be planted in the direction of retreat, once pursued, the other party will detonate the grenade to break off, gain time, and also warn others around, which is a common method of desert warfare." Red Tiger explained in a deep voice.
"Fat brother." Li Rui was taken aback and hurriedly shouted.
"Here." The fat man said yes and ran quickly.
"Check around to see if there are any mines, be careful." Li Rui admonished with a heavy face.
"Yes." The fat man replied in a deep voice, looked back at his group, and made a gesture, and the brothers in the demolition team quickly rushed up, scattered the inspection, and were extra careful.
