Luo Zheng's burning gaze swept over everyone, but he didn't imdiately voice his thoughts. Instead, he allowed the snipers to continue firing freely in response, keeping the enemy firmly at bay over five hundred ters away. This served to confuse the enemy and to buy ti. Coupled with the snipers from other teams, there were ten in total. With the snipers simultaneously suppressing the enemy, Luo Zheng believed that it would be impossible for the enemy to attack in the short term. The enemy flanking from both sides would need at least half an hour, which ant he still had ti to adjust the defenses.
"Military plans change from morning to evening, just like you." A snide voice comnted from the side. It was Song Li. However, his words were t with glares of anger from everyone present, and no one responded to him. If not for the consideration that Song Li was after all one of their own and hadn't done anything outrageous, they would have rushed up and given him a sound thrashing.
Luo Zheng also ignored Song Li and continued, "If the enemy is flanking from both sides, we have at least half an hour to prepare. If they are flanking while also blocking our retreat, we need an hour to prepare. My plan is," he said, his expression becoming serious.
Everyone imdiately perked up their ears to listen intently, even Song Li tilted his head to hear.
"Look," Luo Zheng pointed to the open snowfield ahead and said, "The enemy is blocked at a place over five hundred ters away. My plan is, all snipers attack forward, pushing the enemy back as far as we can. Everyone else ambushes at three hundred ters ahead. I've noticed that we all have sapper shovels, and hiding in the snow layer is easy. Once everyone is well hidden, the snipers will pretend to be overpowered and retreat towards the nearby woods for cover."
At this point, Luo Zheng purposely paused, glanced at everyone to let the information sink in, and seeing that there were no objections, he continued, "The snipers attack swiftly, making a bold front, and the attack duration should not exceed ten minutes. In this ti, the flanking enemy will not get here, and even if our snipers retreat to the woods, they won't be in danger. Seeing the snipers retreating, the enemy will surely pursue, and they definitely won't notice those ambushed at three hundred ters. When the ambushers launch a surprise attack and break through the front, with the snipers following up, we can take down the enemy in front in one fell swoop."
Everyone was shocked. Luo Zheng intended to use just thirty-plus people to defeat the enemy head-on? That was no easy feat, and such audacity was staggering. Yet no one objected, and instead, everyone beca excited, their eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.
"Okay, I think it's doable. Screw it, Captain, you've got guts. Why didn't I think of counterattacking? The enemy commander probably won't expect it either. When we're being encircled by such overpowering force, retreating seems like the sound option. Defensive retaliation is acceptable, too, but to counterattack directly, that's initiating the offensive, good." Monk shouted excitedly.
"Right, we didn't think about taking the offensive. With this freezing weather and being surrounded by the enemy's heavy forces, who could have guessed we would forego such favorable terrain and strike back directly?" the Scholar said fervently, "I think it's a go, give the order, will you?"
"Give the order." The Farr and the Gardener also cheered in agreent, expressing their support. To strike unexpectedly and catch them unprepared was the essence of military tactics. Luo Zheng's plan might not guarantee complete surprise, but it certainly had the elent of the unexpected. Who would have thought that when at a disadvantage, they would still take the initiative to strike?
"Since there are no issues, then it's settled. I'll lead all the snipers forward, and you must hide swiftly and must not be detected by the enemy; otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain. Also, set your earphones to a unified frequency for communication and command." Luo Zheng issued the order decisively, his eyes brimming with killing intent as he looked towards Song Li.
"What are you trying to do?" Song Li took a panicked half-step back and asked.
"You're responsible for taking good care of Brother Shan Hu. If anything happens to him, I won't let you off." Luo Zheng said coldly, taking the earpiece that Shan Hu had tuned to the correct frequency and putting it on. "Stay with the main force, and if he dares to make trouble, don't be polite."
"Don't worry, I will keep a tight watch on him," Shan Hu replied confidently, his gaze becoming sharp as he looked towards Song Li, frightening Song Li into turning away his face in disarray. Initially thinking it would be an easy feat followed by a promotion, he didn't expect to encounter a group of daredevil iron-blooded warriors. Gnashing his teeth in humiliation and rage, his hatred for Luo Zheng grew, vowing to find a way to get back at him once he returned.
"Sniper, follow ." Luo Zheng checked his weapon, put on his headset, and commanded. Answers from other snipers ca through the headset, communication was clear, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he charged forward with large strides. The other snipers also quickly followed, while Scholar and the others glanced at Song Li before turning to follow as well.
Rushing down the slope in one go, Luo Zheng held his sniper rifle on his shoulder, continuously firing at suspicious targets ahead. Whether he hit them or not didn't matter; the key was deterrence, not letting the enemy break through. The rest of the snipers followed suit, lining up and firing all at once—a group of snipers shooting simultaneously was a force to be reckoned with.
While sprinting, Luo Zheng emptied the ten sniper bullets in his gun and quickly retrieved more from his backpack, stashing them in his jacket pocket for easy access. Reloading swiftly, by the ti he had finished, he had reached the 200-ter line. He lay down, asured the wind speed and distance, and shouted, "All units, prone position shooting, three-round burst horizontal firing, sniping position, target on the left."
Upon hearing the command, everyone pulled their triggers, with three bullets forming a horizontal line towards the target's left side. This attack thod—three bullets aiming at one target—tripled the success rate. Considering the wind speed, irregular directions, and reflections from the snow, sniping in such hostile conditions was incredibly challenging. To hit the target, apart from luck, increasing the number of shots was the only option.
"Whiz, whiz, whiz!" Thirty bullets from ten snipers were fired simultaneously. The enemy's pursuers, who were probing forward, couldn't find cover in ti. Five unlucky individuals were struck squarely; Luo Zheng, unaware of whether they were dead or alive, saw through the sniper scope that the pursuers were spreading out and charging forward, a substantial number of them. He then coldly gave the command, "On my mark, target the middle of the enemy formation, three-round bursts, fire."
"Whiz, whiz, whiz!" Everyone fired again, the sniper rifles creating a barrage effect. This tactic was sothing only Luo Zheng would think of. Normally, snipers fire one shot at a ti, changing position with each bullet, but not Luo Zheng. With three bullets at once aid at one area, unavoidable, the accuracy drastically improved.
A volley of shots later, six people in the center of the enemy formation fell. The rest hesitated, careful to lie down and return fire. Their bullets sprayed wildly, but because they were far away, ordinary automatic rifles had a general shooting range of around 600 ters, but only an effective range of three to four hundred ters. In such harsh conditions, the bullets from a standard automatic rifle would start to drift after 300 ters, completely changing direction by 400 ters.
