Half an hour later, Samba's n were all concealed. Luo Zheng got everyone to help with the camouflage, erased the surrounding traces, and after confirming everything was right, swiftly led the others forward, through the canyon, to the open dense forest ahead. The terrain of the forest was flat, the towering trees blocked the sunlight, with so shrubs growing on the ground, but not many, leaves piled up on the ground, emitting a rotten sll in the air.
Luo Zheng led the troops forward for about a thousand ters and stopped, leaving Hook with two hundred n to follow the sa pattern, apply mud, dig foxholes for concealnt, cover them with shrubs, scattered on both sides, leaving a hundred-ter-wide clearance in between.
Another half hour passed, Luo Zheng continued to advance with everyone. Hook's guard regint had a thousand n, only half brought along this ti. Leaving two hundred for the ambush, only three hundred remained, arranged into five columns, each column consisted of sixty n, stretched into a long formation and followed closely.
Not long after, the Mountain Eagle responsible for opening the path sent an inquiry, saying that going further would enter the range of enemy's single soldier radar detection and expose them, asking what to do. Luo Zheng signaled the troops to stay put, gathered the officers together, and they squatted beside a shrub to discuss.
Luo Zheng picked up so branches and arranged them on the ground, explaining: "The enemy is on the mountain, the mountain is about two hundred ters high, not very big. Continuing forward from here will be detected by the enemy's single soldier radar. Mountain Eagle, Wei Jian, you go first. Our brothers' combat uniforms can defend against infrared detection, so the possibility of exposure isn't high. Fewer people also ans less likely to be exposed. Mountain Eagle, you take charge of reconnaissance for the enemy situation, find their communication personnel and troop deploynt situation, provide attack coordinates for Wei Jian's n. Once the battle starts, the remaining troops attack in three ways, forming a V-shape. Any problems?"
"Who is the main assault?" Hook asked curiously.
"Simultaneously assault from three sides, strive to capture the mountain at maximum speed. Wei Jian, your n are only responsible for distant bombing, no charging allowed. Mountain Eagle, your n take on sniping valuable targets and provide coordinates for Wei Jian. Hook, your three hundred n assault fiercely. Any other questions?" Luo Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"No problems." Everyone answered in unison.
"Action." Luo Zheng commanded fiercely in a low voice.
"Yes." Mountain Eagle and Wei Jian rushed forward hastily, Hook agreed with a nod, and went on to deploy his troops. Lan Xue looked at Luo Zheng, hesitated before speaking, Luo Zheng curiously asked in Mandarin in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"If the enemy forces on the mountain exceed three hundred, or have built strong fortifications, this battle might be tough, or if the battle gets loud here and other enemy troops close in, what then?" Lan Xue reminded.
"If enemy forces exceed what we grasp, Mountain Eagle will discover and notify us first. There will be fortifications, but they won't be strong; they won't build too strong fortifications overnight, in front of missiles, they'll be paper-thin. Not a big issue, if their forces are too many, we'll strike from afar, not capturing the mountain. If the enemy encircles, we'll withdraw imdiately. If few, we'll lure them into pre-set traps, if many, we'll take other routes; the vast forest isn't daunting." Luo Zheng explained confidently.
"As long as you have it in mind." Lan Xue said, looking into contemplation towards the mountain a kiloter away.
After a while, Hook reported having deployed the attack formation to Luo Zheng with a nod. Luo Zheng smiled knowingly. Everyone patiently waited for the reconnaissance from Mountain Eagle. After about ten minutes, Mountain Eagle's doubtful voice sounded in the earpiece: "The situation seems a bit off. Enemy forces seem more than three hundred, have built three ring-shaped trenches surrounding the mountain, connected by communication trenches, with heavy machine gun positions at the highest point."
"Oh? Seems the enemy intends to hold this mountain desperately, the more so, the more we must break their defense system. Imdiately provide coordinates for Wei Jian, fire missiles in three minutes to blow away vital targets." Luo Zheng said coldly, his eyes filled with even more killing intent.
"What exactly is the enemy planning, having no aerial support yet posing such a posture? Isn't this just inviting us to bombard?" Lan Xue said incredulously in a low voice.
"Doesn't matter, fight first, talk later. Worst case, just withdraw, without helicopters, we don't fear them." Luo Zheng said fiercely, while looking at the watch, waiting patiently. Three minutes soon passed, the earpiece sounded Wei Jian's request to fire, Luo Zheng commanded without hesitation: "Missiles, fire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —" Ten missiles almost simultaneously launched, emitting terrifying shrill roars, roaring towards the top of the mountain with an unbeatable montum, seeming like the War God in the Void.
"Boom boom boom!" A series of earth-shattering explosions occurred, as if the entire space was shattered, shocking everyone. Even from afar, one could see the imnse red glow rising, appearing extrely eerie under the sunlight. Although the blast's power couldn't be seen, everyone was excited. Luo Zheng looked at Hook and shouted: "Action."
"Understood." Hook shouted excitedly, imdiately yelling a few lines in local dialect. The troops divided into three and rushed forward fiercely, like a pack of ferocious leopards, swiftly darting through the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye among the dense trees.
"Let's go too." Luo Zheng said to Lan Xue and Hook, both nodded, and everyone quickly chased forward, clutching their guns tightly, eyes sharp.
"Boom boom boom!" Another round of explosions occurred, sounding as if the entire mountain was blown to collapse. Various birds and beasts scread and ran wild around the dense forest, black smoke billowed, towering into the sky, like a devil's grimace, appearing terrifying.
Luo Zheng and others quickly caught up with the troops. Everyone continued running in the woods, Hook constantly urged his troops to charge forward through the intercom, and Luo Zheng also commanded on the earpiece: "Wei Jian, another attack in three minutes, Mountain Eagle, take your n up to snipe the enemy, investigate their situation closely."
"Yes." Wei Jian and Mountain Eagle voiced in unison.
The enemy was bombed into disarray, the attack troops must rush up to seize the mountain promptly. Once the enemy recovers, it would beco a hard battle, with unpredictable casualties. Hook understood the danger lying here, constantly urging his troops to charge forward fervently.
Luo Zheng contemplated that after two missile strikes, the enemy's positions with valuable targets were mostly destroyed. Any more strikes would waste ammunition, so a pause of three minutes suffices for the enemy to react and regroup at their positions for counterattack arrangents. Bombing at that mont will likely eliminate many.
Three minutes later, while running towards the mountain-top, Luo Zheng inquired decisively through the earpiece: "Lan Xing, closely monitor the enemy camp situation, report at any ti, Mountain Eagle, what's happening on the enemy's side?"
