"A direct attack won't work, infiltration won't work, watching them hire other ard groups to attack the natives while their own n hold the base is also not feasible, maybe surrounding them could work, but now with those annoying rcenaries, that probably won't work either, huh?" Ghost Hand said, his voice turning surprised towards the end, moving the sniper scope as he continued, "Look, people on the transport plane are moving supplies. It seems their supplies are running low, whether it's military or civilian supplies. Let's take them out first, better to destroy the plane, cut off their transport link with the outside."
"Makes sense." Luo Zheng was pleased and agreed, "With so many people eating and drinking, they definitely can't manage without supplies. Without the transport plane, they can't bring in any supplies. Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, you two and Hook stay here for cover; the three of us will rush in, hit them, and run."
"Alright." Everyone responded in unison.
Luo Zheng, Lan Xue, and Mountain Eagle quickly loaded incendiary bombs into their sniper rifles. They picked up their weapons and raced forward, stopping about a kiloter away, finding a good spot for an ambush, setting up their weapons, and quickly aiming. Luo Zheng quickly located the fuel tank of the transport plane, focused, calm, his index finger slowly squeezing the trigger.
"Target, the fuel tank, Ghost, you fire the first shot," Lan Xue whispered.
"Sure thing." Luo Zheng readily responded, knowing that destroying the transport plane would significantly increase their chances of success. Excited by the prospect of completing the mission and causing trouble for the enemy, his mood was uplifted.
"Whoosh!" The incendiary bomb whistled away, carrying Luo Zheng's surprise, issuing a joyful howl as it created an energy shock in the void, instantly penetrating the fuel tank, which burst into flas. Luo Zheng watched coldly, excitedly laughing at the scene.
"Whoosh whoosh!" Two more shots, two more incendiary bombs roaring into the burning flas, instantly intensifying the fire. The people around, dropping the supplies they were carrying, turned and ran, shouting loudly in panic and confusion.
"Boom!" A thunderous explosion erupted, the transport plane instantly engulfed in red flas, its body disintegrated, debris flying everywhere. Those who couldn't escape in ti were hit by the debris and fell to the ground, screaming, as thick smoke billowed into the sky, forming a net of Death God's threat over the base, chilling to the bone.
"That's great, shall we retreat?" Lan Xue asked excitedly as she watched the burning transport plane and the supplies.
"Boom boom! Whoosh whoosh!" A series of explosions and bullets riddled the air, resembling fireworks in their beauty. Just as Luo Zheng rose to evacuate, he was startled and quickly looked through the sniper rifle, discovering it was sympathetic detonation. He couldn't help but be thrilled and said, "Didn't expect those supplies included ammunition, great, exhilarating."
"Let's quickly retreat." Lan Xue whispered, knowing that staying after gaining an advantage could attract endless pursuit.
Luo Zheng also understood this, turning quickly to run, eting up with Ghost Hand and the others. Seeing Hook's excited face, he laughed and said, "Look at how pleased you are, we'd better hurry back."
"Heh, right," Hook replied sheepishly, hurrying to lead the way.
They had just walked for a while when Lan Xue suddenly said, "No, we can't go back yet."
"Why?" Luo Zheng asked in response.
"We must confirm whether the enemy has any other transport planes," Lan Xue explained.
"Could they? This isn't Japanese territory, and there are no vehicles. It was good enough for them to bring in three by disassembling and reassembling them here," Snow Leopard said, astonished.
"If they could bring three, it's possible for them to bring more. It's better to be cautious and change our surveillance location," Luo Zheng said sternly, stopping Hook to brief him on the situation. After thinking it over, Hook gestured for everyone to follow him.
Half an hour later, they circled around to a mountain peak. Hook, who knew the path well, moved forward and stopped at the edge of a cliff, saying, "Below is a naturally ford cave, big enough for a few of us. We can see the base from here; I ca here when I was young."
"Let's go," Luo Zheng said decisively.
Hook nodded and carefully climbed down, with everyone closely following. After a short descent, they indeed saw a cave. Hook agilely entered, and everyone else followed. The cave wasn't deep, and how it had ford, who could say? Wasn't it the marvel of nature?
Standing at the entrance, Luo Zheng held up the sniper scope to observe; the base was clearly visible. After a large explosion, the area was in shambles. Many were clearing debris and gathering remains. There were many casualties, which Luo Zheng found satisfying. He handed the sniper scope to an eager Hook and went to rest.
Lan Xue reminded everyone to keep watching and ca over to Luo Zheng, saying softly, "Did you notice the cliff, about two hundred ters high, with smooth, hard-to-climb walls? But it could be descended with the help of ropes, and below is a dense forest. We don't know if there are any land mines in the forest, but it's worth a try."
"You're thinking of raiding the base?" Luo Zheng asked, surprised, upon seeing Lan Xue nod. After thinking it over, he said, "It's too dangerous, let think about it."
Seeing Luo Zheng not agreeing, Lan Xue sat down to rest. After a while, Luo Zheng suddenly said, "The cliff isn't very far from the base, roughly five hundred ters across, below is a forest, and the wind from the cliff blows towards the valley. If we release poison smoke, could it be used to strike against the enemy?"
"Poison smoke? How would you release it? With just a few of us, even if we manage to create so, it won't be much. The valley is large, a little poison smoke will be useless," Lan Xue gasped, then sparked with interest and pressed, "Have you thought of so plan? Let's hear it."
Everyone gathered around upon hearing Luo Zheng's words, eagerly looking at him. Ghost Hand chuckled and said, "Ghost, in terms of modern combat tactics, we know a bit, but you, kid, are full of ancient warfare tactics, yet you manage to blend them with modern tactics. Co on, what big move have you thought of this ti?"
"Yes, indeed. The cliff is several hundred ters above the dense forest, which surely has land mines. Going down to release poison smoke? The smoke might be blown by the winds into the valley, but it will quickly disperse. The forest is several hundred ters from the valley base, too far for the poison smoke to be effective. Tell us, what's the big move?" Snow Leopard also showed interest, smiling as he spoke.
"The key is that if we descend and release the poison smoke, we'll quickly be discovered. The smoke will disperse before reaching the base, and the enemy could surround us. Faced with sheer cliffs, we would have nowhere to retreat and end up like cornered stray dogs, only able to fight back desperately before waiting to die gloriously for our country," Mountain Eagle added, frowning worriedly.
"Everyone quiet down, let Ghost speak," Lan Xue quickly said.
