Chapter 55: I can’t just sit there and watch the show!
Li Dongshui turned around and asked in surprise, "Why are you looking for Xu Can?"
Thor's voice rang out through the headset: "Number 5, what are you talking about? It's already this late, stop chatting!"
Xu Ge: "I know you guys are going to charge in in about ten minutes, but I do have something to talk to Suzaku about."
There's no sound on the channel.
Two minutes later, Xu Can's voice rang out in the headset: "Number 5, number 5, I'm Suzaku. Wolf Head said you were looking for me?"
"Suzaku, can you see the map of the mission area?" Xu Ge asked immediately.
Xu Can replied: "I can't see it now."
"The target building is located at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is 430 meters high and the slope to the north is 15%. However, the main entrance of the target building faces southwest. I think something is wrong. Can you help me analyze it?" Xu Ge said quickly.
At this moment, everyone who heard Li Xugo's words in the headset had a big question mark on their foreheads.
What is this kid doing?
Unexpectedly, Xu Can replied to Xu Ge seriously a second later: "According to what you said, the target building should face due south. Is there anything special about the terrain at the foot of the mountain that requires a change of direction?"
Xu Ge: "No, this is what I feel is wrong, I want you to help find the reason."
"What do you think is wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the whole building sticking out of the mountain."
Xu Can: "Tell me about the building's various data."
Xu Ge: "It's about 3 meters wide, 11 meters high, and the length visible outside is about 6 meters."
Xu Can quickly replied, "It does feel a bit strange, but I need to see the actual situation..."
"Suzaku, I'm transmitting the drone signal to your tablet now!" Suddenly, Wolf Head's voice came from the headset.
"clear!"
The channel fell silent again.
When the others saw that Wolf Head had spoken, they realized that Xu Ge might have really discovered something, so no one occupied the headset.
"No. 5, are the data you just mentioned correct?" Xu Can's voice rang out.
Xu Ge: "Correct. Even if there is an error, it's not that big."
Xu Can's voice turned serious. "I've looked at the images from the field. If your data is correct, there's definitely something wrong with this building!"
"What's the problem?" Wolf Head asked immediately before Xu Ge.
Everyone listened attentively.
Xu Can: "Based on the inclination of the building's load-bearing columns, the reason we chose to face southwest rather than the more appropriate south is likely because there's a layer of space within the mountain. Our previous 3D simulation wasn't comprehensive enough!"
Others may not be able to hear it, but in Xu Ge's ears, while Xu Can was speaking, there was also the sound of fingers tapping on the screen. It seemed that the other party was operating the tablet while talking.
"Suzaku, are you sure?" Thor's voice also became serious.
"I can't be 100% sure, but I can verify it."
Xu Can paused for a moment. "If there's another layer of space above, judging by the structure of this building, there must be ventilation holes on the mountain, and more than one. I'll mark a few approximate locations. You can look for them on site."
The next moment, a picture of a mountain appeared in Xu Ge's eyepiece, with three circles drawn halfway up the mountain.
"Sniper group one, sniper group two, immediately check if there is any ventilation hole nearby?" Thor ordered immediately.
"good!"
"clear!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately looked up the mountain according to the markings on the picture. Xu Ge held a monocular telescope and searched the opposite hillside inch by inch.
For Xu Ge, although he has night vision capabilities, finding a static ventilation vent is still much more difficult than finding a dynamic target. He can only judge by the external outline of the object.
. . .
. . .
Time passed by minute by minute, and the time for the scheduled attack was getting closer and closer.
On the snow in front of the building below, the little girl began to build a snowman with the help of the woman who was in charge of taking care of her. Thor and the other two had already approached a position 100 meters away from the target building.
"Old Face, have you found anything?" Thor began to urge.
The old man only replied with one word: "No."
"Where are you two, No. 5 and No. 6?" Thor asked again.
Li Dongshui: "I haven't discovered it yet..."
“Found it!”
Xu Ge's voice was a little excited. "Go up from the main entrance of the target building, and look for the snow pile east of the largest rock 50 meters to the right!"
"It's not just a vent, it could also be the exit to a secret passage. It's very similar in shape to the one I saw last time!"
In Xu Ge's field of vision, there was a square hole, and the baffle on the side was covered with snow.
Perhaps the enemy didn't even think that anyone would come to observe that location, so there were no concealment measures at all, which is why Xu Ge was able to find it.
Li Dongshui moved the scope over and said in surprise, "Really? I saw it too!"
The old man's voice also sounded in the headset: "Yes!"
There was no sound in the channel for a moment.
No one was particularly surprised to find the exit of the secret passage. After all, this group of people had this habit. But now they were about to launch an attack. If they still followed the original plan, the target might escape through the secret passage!
"Boss, what should we do now?" Thunder God called to Wolf Head, "Should we send more people?"
"It's too late! The Eighth Company's reconnaissance team has already retreated to the border." Wolf Head's voice was calm. "Let No. 5 and No. 6 go!"
"yes!"
Thor immediately gave the order, "Number 5, number 6, immediately go to position number 3 to re-establish the sniper position. If you find the enemy, shoot on your own, but ensure the safety of target number one!"
Before he finished speaking, a new location marker appeared on the eyepiece, which was on the ridge more than 500 meters away from the exit of the secret passage on the opposite mountain.
"yes!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately stood up, packed up their equipment, and started running towards position number three with their guns.
The ease that the two of them had felt before was gone, replaced by nervousness, the nervousness before facing actual combat alone.
Unlike the previous two collective actions, Thor's intention is very clear. Now the situation has suddenly changed. The sniper team 2, which was originally just a bystander, now has to take on the task of controlling the exit of the secret passage.
The two of them ran wildly in the snow, panting, and ran horizontally towards the higher ridgeline.
In a distance of less than a thousand meters, the two men managed to give the feeling of running a ten-kilometer armed cross-country race.
Whoosh!
Xu Ge was the first to run to the designated position, put his gun behind a rock, took out the rangefinder and began to calculate the shooting parameters.
Li Dongshui arrived soon after, lay down on the right side of Xu Ge, and pointed the muzzle of the AWM towards the opposite hillside.
"Distance 520, wind speed ignored, depression angle 14!" Xu Ge said quickly.
Li Dongshui put his face close to the scope: "Got it!"
"Thor, sniper team two is ready!" Xu Ge took a deep breath and then turned on the headset.
"Get moving, Old Face!"
It seemed that Thor had been waiting for the signal from Xu Ge and the others. After hearing that the preparations were complete, he immediately gave the order to attack.
Puff! Puff!
Xu Ge's ears moved, and he heard a few barely audible gunshots coming from the sniper group's position. This was Old Face starting to clear out the enemy's external guards.
What surprised him was that judging from the sound of the gunshots, Old Face's shooting speed was very fast, giving people the feeling that he was shooting with a rifle rather than a sniper rifle.
Xu Ge curiously picked up the monocular and looked towards the lower left. The woman next to the little girl had fallen in the snow, and a large pool of blood on her head dyed the snow red.
The little girl was so scared that she lay down behind the half-built snowman.
Three figures holding guns quickly approached the building gate. There were also three enemies lying on the snow at the door, all of them seemed to have been shot in the head.
At this moment, Xu Ge once again had a clear understanding of Lao Lian's strength.
How many seconds did those shots take? Five or six? They took out four enemies straight away?
Lao Lian’s M200 is a bolt-action rifle. If it were someone else, it would take four or five seconds just to pull the bolt and load the bullet, let alone aim and shoot!
In the blink of an eye, Thor and the other two had reached the door and rushed in without stopping.
There was a faint flicker of strong light inside the building, which seemed to be caused by the use of stun bombs.
Xu Ge quickly put down the monocular, held his SCAR-H with both hands, aimed at the exit of the secret passage more than 500 meters away, and warned:
"Thor and the others have gone in. If the target wants to escape through the secret passage, they will be out in a minute at most!"
"Um!"
Li Dongshui opened his fingers and clenched them a few times, then held his sniper rifle again.
Snap!
Snap!
The two men pulled the bolt at the same time and the bullet was loaded.
Xu Ge even loaded a grenade into the grenade launcher under the gun and said in a deep voice: "Don't be nervous, you have already participated in two actual combats!"
Li Dongshui: “Yeah!”
"You're such a chicken! I'm talking to myself!"
"oh!"
"Remember to look carefully at target number one and don't kill him by mistake." Xu Ge said again.
Li Dongshui lay aside without saying a word.
Xu Ge was speechless: "I'm telling you this!"
"Oh, I see!"
. . .
. . .
Ever since Thor and the other two entered the target building, the channel has become completely quiet.
The light spots on the eyepiece representing the three of them were moving rapidly in the building below, and Xu Ge could hear faint explosions from time to time.
About ten seconds later, the positions of the three light spots on the eyepiece suddenly rose together. At the same time, the light spot representing the old face also moved and was moving quickly towards this side.
Xu Ge knew that Lei Shen and the others had reached the second level, and immediately focused his gaze on the exit of the secret passage on the opposite hillside: "Get ready!"
"5, okay, number 6, someone is coming out soon, stop them!" Suddenly, Thor's voice appeared in the headset.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were both shocked. Without even replying, they immediately focused their attention on the opposite side.
A few seconds later, two figures came out of the exit, holding guns and looking around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no target among the two men, Xu Ge immediately pulled the trigger.
Da da da!
The powerful recoil of SCAR-H made his body tremble.
After a burst of shots, the bullets grazed two enemies and hit the snow nearby.
Xu Ge was helpless. He had really tried his best to run the distance of more than 500 meters.
Bang!
There was a loud noise in his ears and Li Dongshui's body shook violently.
An enemy on the opposite side who was about to bend down was suddenly hit in the back and fell directly to the ground in the snow.
The other enemy was still standing there, looking around anxiously.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui both had flash suppressors installed on their guns, so no sparks were produced when they fired. Coupled with the echoes going back and forth between the mountains, the enemy had no way of determining the location of the shot.
"Got it! Well done, A Shui!" Xu Ge praised.
Snap!
Li Dongshui pulled the bolt again to load the gun and aimed at another enemy.
Xu Ge knew that he couldn't hit the target, so he didn't shoot blindly and expose his position. Instead, he helped Li Dongshui observe the situation.
"That guy tried to hide behind the rock, but you were aiming in front of it... Shit, there are more people coming out!"
In Xu Ge's field of vision, five or six people suddenly emerged from the exit of the secret passage, including target number two with a white headscarf and Yusup with a braid.
At this time, Li Dongshui had already started to pull the trigger. Hearing Xu Ge's voice, he quickly moved the muzzle of the gun: "Who to shoot?"
"Anyone except Yusup... Shit, what's the second target going to do?"
Da da da!
The man with the white turban opposite suddenly pointed the muzzle of the AK in his hand downwards and started firing.
