Chapter 332: Night Attack
After dinner, the players in the camp either chose to go offline or burrowed into the tent - sleeping in the game has the same effect as sleeping in real life, and can also allow the player's brain to get enough relaxation and rest.
The night was eerily quiet, and the sound of the engines of the cars outside the coalition camp was gone. In the permafrost tundra, most dangerous predators choose to be nocturnal, and walking at night is several levels more dangerous than during the day.
The follow-up troops in the forward base are estimated to leave tomorrow during the day, in order to avoid the mutated creatures that haunt the night and minimize unnecessary losses.
Qi Lin originally planned to go offline to take a shower and eat something, but Karachev walked into Qi Lin's room at this time and invited him to go outside for a cigarette, chat for a while, and pass the boring time.
"I say, are you all so not afraid of the cold?" Qi Lin felt that it was cold outside wrapped in a thick military coat, while Karachev was only wearing a common canvas combat uniform and a nylon tactical vest, and he was holding a cigarette, like a nobody.
Is this the innate skill of the fighting nation...... No wonder both Napoleon and Hitler were defeated in the Russian winter.
"It's okay—" Karachev took off the helmet on his head, patted off the layers of condensed hoarfrost on it, and continued, "One of the KGB agents' training program is hardiness training, and I once went on a mission to hunt down a Western spy who had been lurking in Moscow for more than a decade - that guy was really good enough to escape, and he escaped from Mokos to the Arctic Circle, and my two comrades and I chased all the way to the Arctic Circle. ”
"And then?" Qi Lin is still very interested in the story of KGB agents, in the old days, the KGB was known as the world's four major intelligence agencies along with the CIA of the United States, the British MI5 and the Mossad of Israel, which shows how powerful and mysterious this organization is.
"We caught up with him on the side of a road in the Arctic Circle, and I fired three shots, one of which hit him in the knee, but when we ran to him, we found that he had committed suicide by poisoning." Karachev shrugged, then took a deep puff on his cigarette, the cigarette he was holding in his fingertips instantly half a short cut.
"Then you have failed the mission?"
"It's not all, at least we got his body back, although he holds the citizenship of a small Eastern European country, but we can find out the records of this guy's early life in the United States, his residence, and some spy tools that he didn't have time to destroy, these things are enough, and the rest is the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"Is this spy from the CIA?"
"I don't know, it may or may not be, anyway, my mission is done." Karachev finished smoking a cigarette and took out a second.
The two chatted one after another, but just as Qi Lin's gaze inadvertently swept in the direction of the Gray Ridge Mountain Fortress, he suddenly stopped halfway through his words.
"What's wrong?" The KGB's unique vigilance made Karachev instantly aware of Qi Lin's abnormality, and quickly pulled out his Makarov pistol.
“…… I don't know if I'm mistaken, do you still have that multifunctional tactical telescope with you? Take a look in the direction of Yamato Heavy Industries Fortress! ”
At night, Qi Lin always turned on the habit of looking around with thermal vision from time to time, which was also on alert, but just now, he noticed that a group of small red dots were slowly moving down from a hillside next to the fortress.
These red dots could never be mutated creatures roaming at night - there were too many of them, although they were too far away to see very clearly, but Qi Lin conservatively estimated that the number of red dots was at least a hundred.
And these red dots are so close to the fortress of Yamato Heavy Industries, if it was a mutated creature, the machine gun on the fortress wall would have opened fire a long time ago, but now the entire fortress has maintained an eerie silence.
Karachev quickly took out the tactical telescope from his pocket, switched to night vision mode, and looked in the direction of the fortress - after less than ten seconds, Karachev handed the telescope to Qi Lin with a solemn expression.
Qi Lin raised his binoculars and looked at those red dots, only to find that these "red dots" were actually elite soldiers who were sliding down the steep slope to the foot of the mountain with the help of ropes.
"Are they planning a night attack?"
"Chances are, you keep watching, I'll go find the commander of the vanguard unit!" After Karachev finished speaking, he buckled the helmet in his hand to his head and hurried out.
Qi Lin took the binoculars, climbed onto the roof of a truck, and watched the every move of the army, and soon, he discovered that something even more wrong was there.
In this unit, in addition to those wearing the uniforms of Yamato Heavy Industries, there are more than a dozen special soldiers - they are wearing EMR14 camouflage uniforms, and their heads are wearing K6-3 titanium helmets commonly known as "welding helmets" (yes, it is the three-stage head in PUBG), and the weapons are mainly AK-12 assault rifles and AN-94 assault rifles, and three of the soldiers even carry a light infantry bulletproof shield on their backs, although they can't see the face under the mask. But Qi Lin can be sure that these dozen or so people are definitely Russian special forces!
Could it be that under the pressure of Noah's consortium, the Grizzly Bear Brigade was unable to fully assist Yamato Heavy Industries, but it still sent an elite special forces team?
In terms of combat effectiveness alone, a fighting nation like Maozi is much stronger than the Dongying people, and the combat level of the special forces is even more first-class. The only thing that makes people complain is that the hostages are more afraid of them than their enemies.
Karachev quickly called for the commander of the vanguard force, a young Chinese lieutenant colonel, who had been the lieutenant of the commander of the forward force, but the commander had been killed in the daytime battle, and although he had been resurrected, he had not been able to get here, so the lieutenant colonel took over the post of temporary commander temporarily.
"Retreat, we must retreat, I will send a power armored force to intercept them, and then you take this opportunity to quickly retreat into the alliance's defense area, by the way, the advance troops of several other consortiums will also trouble you to contact them!" Although the lieutenant colonel's expression was not panicked, the speed of his speech was fast.
"Why withdraw? There are only a hundred of them, and even if there are special forces from the Grizzly Brigade mixed in, they are only more than a hundred infantrymen, and there are no power armor and no heavy weapons, and we can completely eliminate them if we have precautions! Qi Lin said with some puzzlement.
"A hundred people is naturally not a problem, but I am afraid that they are only the vanguard of this night attack, what if when we exchange fire with them, the large army of Yamato Heavy Industries rushes out of the fortress? Moreover, since the figure of the Russians has appeared, how can you guarantee that in the entire Gray Ridge Mountain theater of operations, there are only so many special forces of a dozen Grizzly Bear Brigades? ”
