Two days later at dusk, the sky was overcast, the sun obscured by dark clouds, it looked like rain, and the wind was strong, swaying trees. Birds and beasts had already retreated to their nests, leaving not a single bird in the sky. In the vast prival forest, on a mountain ridge dense with trees, an ard group lay quietly amongst the foliage, resting, eating dry rations, and checking their weapons.
A few people stood at the high point of the mountain ridge, observing sothing through sniper scopes. The leader had star-like eyes and sword-like eyebrows, his resolute face covered in camouflage paint, wearing a single soldier helt equipped with night vision goggles, dressed in camouflage combat attire, and carrying a military pack along with an 88 sniper rifle. It was Luo Zheng.
Having separated from the main force two days earlier, Luo Zheng led this team, traveling day and night, finally arriving at this mountain ridge. The terrain ahead was gently sloping, about ten kiloters forward lay the edge of the prival forest, where an open area had been newly constructed with many barracks, housing a garrison, and ten ard helicopters parked in the open space. It was the missile base of Sam Country.
The mountain ridge offered a good field of view and, through the sniper scope, one could get a general idea. After observing for a while, Luo Zheng put down the sniper scope, looked at everyone, and said, "The enemy camp doesn't seem to have many troops. The vehicle-mounted missiles should be inside those tall barracks. There's ground radar, and there might be single soldier radars or infrared detectors deployed in the dense forest ahead. There are quite a few patrols on the periphery. What do you all think?"
"We don't need to make it too complicated, just a long-range attack. Red Banner Six has a maximum range of seven kiloters. We only need to advance about three kiloters further, directly bombard with missiles, and run after firing. In this forest, nobody can catch up to us," Shadow suggested, brimming with confidence.
"The problem is we don't know how far the enemy's radar detection range is. For all we know, our position might already be exposed. Radar is a major issue, it must be interfered with," reminded Scholar solemnly beside him.
Luo Zheng glanced at Scholar, then looked at Hook, saying, "We've been here and there's been no enemy reaction, indicating we haven't been discovered. Let a small team go first, it's a smaller target, and while the enemy might be suspicious, they won't make a big fuss. Don't we have enemy equipnt we captured? We can impersonate enemy troops, just advance to the distance within Red Banner Six's range, quickly take out the radar. There's a lot of communication equipnt next to the radar, we can take it all out, preventing the enemy from discovering our exact position and cutting off their communication with the outside."
"Good idea, I'll go," Shadow eagerly volunteered.
"Why you?" Scholar argued, dissatisfied, "You guys have already made a lot of contributions, it should be our turn, shouldn't it? We can handle this simple task."
"Stop arguing, Shadow, you going alone makes the smallest target, the enemy will think you are a soldier slacking off. With your speed and capabilities, you'll definitely complete the task. None of us have the single combat skills you do, just be careful." Luo Zheng quickly intervened to stop the dispute, assigning the task to Shadow.
Shadow excitedly agreed, throwing a smug look at Scholar. Scholar didn't know Shadow well, but he knew Luo Zheng, and since Luo Zheng said Shadow had the best single combat abilities, it couldn't be wrong. Naturally, he was more suited to this task, so he didn't say anything more.
"Everyone else, prepare for combat. Once Shadow initiates the fight, we'll charge forward three kiloters at the fastest speed and continue attacking the enemy base. Does anyone have any questions?" Luo Zheng asked.
"I have one." Seeing no one else speak, Shadow took up the topic. Seeing Luo Zheng look over, he explained, "Rushing three kiloters forward takes ti, and during that ti many variables can arise. I propose infiltrating the enemy camp and secretly blowing up the radar. At the very least, we can make it look like it wasn't attacked from afar, which will confuse the enemy more. Once the enemy is confused, you'll have plenty of ti to rush in."
"That's too dangerous," Luo Zheng imdiately rejected this proposal.
"It's worth a try. If really exposed or infeasible, I'll launch a long-range attack. It'll only take a little more ti, and it gives everyone a chance to recover their energy. Consider this: if I attack the radar with missiles from afar, the enemy will surely detect it. If the enemy reacts intensely and mobilizes the missile vehicles, it'll complicate things." Shadow earnestly reminded Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng thought for a mont, finding so reasoning in it, and said, "Alright, go ahead, be careful. If it's not possible, act imdiately. Without radar, the enemy won't know where we're attacking from, and then we'll split into several groups to charge in. The chance of success is more than eighty percent."
"Yes." Shadow responded, slinging Red Banner Six over his shoulder and grabbing a weapon, he turned and left hastily, disappearing into the dense woods after a few leaps.
"Scholar, Farr, Drunkard, split into three groups and attack from the left. Gardener, Monk, Snow Fox, you also split into three groups and attack from my right, spacing five hundred ters apart. I'll lead the others to attack from the center. Wei Jian, divide your n evenly among the groups, ensuring each has aerial attack capabilities. This must be a quick assault, destroy the enemy's ballistic positions and withdraw. Understand?" Luo Zheng instructed seriously.
"Yes." Everyone replied sternly.
During the subsequent ti, everyone patiently waited, making preparations for battle. Luo Zheng silently wiped his sniper rifle, occasionally glancing at his watch. After about ten minutes, Shadow's voice ca through the earpiece, "There is indeed infrared surveillance in the forest, and there's a sentry I took out. I wasn't exposed, continuing forward."
"Be cautious." Luo Zheng had great trust in Shadow's personal abilities but couldn't help but remind him, feeling a bit more expectant internally. If Shadow could infiltrate the enemy base, that would be best. Although both were about taking out the radar, doing it stealthily versus being detected had completely different levels of effectiveness in confusing the enemy, and their responses would differ as well. Stealthily taking it out would be ideal.
A few minutes later, Shadow's voice ca through the earpiece, hushed, "There's a problem, single soldier radar might have detected , a patrol is coming by. To be safe, I'm going to act now."
"Exposed?" Luo Zheng asked, surprised.
"Not sure, but they probably suspect sothing. The patrol is heading straight for my location, waiting longer is too risky, but I'm within shooting range." Shadow explained quietly.
"Then attack, but be careful." An expression of decisive determination crossed Luo Zheng's face as he coldly said, looking at everyone, "Get ready to act."
"Yes." Everyone quickly stood up, gripping their steel rifles tightly, their eyes sharp as they looked at Luo Zheng, brimming with murderous intent.
