At around two o'clock in the morning, Yuan Biao, Ni Huan and others had arrived near Hill 048. They braved the severe cold in the mountains and lurked for nearly two hours.
Around four o'clock, the forest was completely dark and the surroundings fell into complete silence. Even on the Mexican border, the sound of gunfire had stopped.
The whole area was as quiet as a ghost place.
Ni Huan lay in the grass the entire time, motionless, staring at what was happening around him.
Yuan Biao looked down at his luminous watch, then took out his night vision binoculars, crouched alone on a hillside, and peered forward.
In the forest ahead, there are rows of military tents hidden, and there are some very hidden sentries around.
Yuan Biao looked at it carefully, thought for a moment, and returned to his original position. He kicked Ni Huan who was lying on the ground and said, "Get up!"
Ni Huan shook off the grass leaves on his body, half squatted, looked at Yuan Biao and asked: "How is it?"
"It's almost time." Yuan Biao gestured and whispered, "Notify all teams to get ready."
Ni Huan couldn't help but say to Yuan Biao: "I admire you. You didn't want to fight someone who was easy to fight, but insisted on taking on this tough task."
Yuan Biao smiled and said, "What's the point of picking on the weak? If I want to hit someone, I'll hit the hardest one!"
"Okay, wait for me to observe."
Ni Huan was also very cautious. He took out his night vision binoculars, walked to the front, and conducted reconnaissance towards the camp in the distance.
Yuan Biao was not in a hurry and squatted on the ground waiting for him.
After a while, Ni Huan came back, put away the telescope, and estimated: "Judging from the arrangement of the military tents and the surrounding guard posts, there are at least three to four hundred people in this camp. We only have more than a hundred soldiers. If we attack head-on, it will be very troublesome if we are delayed. My suggestion is to cover the fixed point and encircle the central command tent from both wings."
"Okay, let's follow your idea!" Yuan Biao nodded and immediately gave the order: "Notify the firepower units to prepare and find three locations in a fan shape. Assume that there are 40 rounds of portable mortar positions and prepare to cover the attack. Four commandos, two in a group, surround the enemy headquarters from left and right! Catch anyone who can tell you the whereabouts of the headquarters along the way!"
"Yes!" Ni Huan nodded immediately, took out the walkie-talkie and began to assign tasks.
When the order was given, hundreds of figures suddenly stood up in the dense forest and all began to move.
The fire team directly set up a 40-gun mortar position on a high point, then quickly adjusted the range and aimed at the tents in the distance.
Yuan Biao and Ni Huan led the team of twenty people and rushed towards the camp where target No. 3 was located at an extremely fast speed and with extremely strong impact, and launched a siege together with other teams!
About five minutes later, they had reached the offensive line!
Not far ahead, there was a guard post built on a high point, with garrison soldiers patrolling on it.
"Enemy appears ahead at nine o'clock, sniper, take position!"
Yuan Biao ran while giving orders on the walkie-talkie.
"yes!"
Not far behind him, two soldiers quickly ran out at a 45-degree angle, climbed up a hillside in the blink of an eye, and occupied the high point.
The sniper fell to the ground with a thud, aimed at the soldier on guard post through the sniper scope, and said, "Sniper, position!"
Yuan Biao immediately ordered: "Permission to open fire, shoot to death!"
"yes!"
As the order was issued, the observer lay on the side, holding a telescope, and reported the data to the sniper: "At nine o'clock, there is an enemy soldier standing upright, with 45% body exposure, and good shooting conditions..."
The sniper held his breath, adjusted the range, aimed the crosshairs at the soldier, and was about to pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a loud gunshot suddenly rang out in the air!
“Bang!”
The sniper who was just about to shoot had his head exploded, and red and white objects scattered everywhere. The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, and continued to roll down from the high point!
Hearing the sudden gunshot, Yuan Biao subconsciously looked back and saw the sniper lying in a pool of blood. His heart instantly sank!
At the same time, a familiar voice came from a distance: "We meet again, welcome to Hill 048!!!"
The voice was none other than Yao Doudou who had been waiting here for a long time!
Yuan Biao's head buzzed!
“Da da da!”
Immediately afterwards, a burst of intensive gunfire rang out all around!
A large number of soldiers hiding in the dark began to show their heads one after another and opened fire on the commandos rushing over!
For a moment, three or four soldiers under Yuan Biao had no time to dodge, and blood mist burst out of their bodies and they fell to the ground.
“It’s over!!”
Yuan Biao's head buzzed, and he immediately retreated. He quickly shouted, "Quick, retreat in turns! Cover the opponent and move forward!!"
The communication channel was also in chaos.
"Report! The Second Commando Team encountered an attack along the way! The enemy's firepower is very strong and they are closing in on us!"
"Report, the enemy's sniper is sniping at my firepower position!!"
"Report… "
Yuan Biao gritted his teeth, his face pale, and Ni Huan beside him pushed him without hesitation and shouted: "We've stepped on a trap! Quick! Get out of here!"
As he spoke, Ni Huan took out a cigarette cartridge and held it in his hand.
Yuan Biao turned around suddenly and glanced at him subconsciously.
At the same time, on a high point in the distance, Yao Doudou, wearing a light combat uniform, held a sniper rifle and aimed in the direction of the dense forest.
The observer was lying on the side, reporting the data: "There are trees blocking the front, and the shooting vision is very poor. Target No. 1 is not clear, and Target No. 2..."
"Don't make noise! I'll do it myself!" Yao Doudou interrupted him expressionlessly. At the same time, he adjusted his breathing, held the sniper rifle, and stared at the sniper scope with one eye.
In the scope, he saw that Ni Huan's body was almost overlapping with a tree, with only one leg slightly exposed, and the shooting angle was very narrow.
Yao Doudou gently moved the muzzle of the gun, aimed it at the tree trunk, and decisively pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A bullet accurately penetrated the bark at the edge of the tree trunk and hit Ni Huan's left calf.
"puff!"
"ah!!"
In the sniper scope, Ni Huan's left calf exploded, and a cloud of blood mist was directly shot out! He fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"Old Ni!!"
Yuan Biao's eyes turned red, and he desperately grabbed the injured Ni Huan and dragged him back behind the tree.
At the high point, Yao Doudou put down his sniper rifle and said to the communication channel: "All snipers, kill them by name! Except for the key personnel, kill everyone else who can be killed! Outer assault teams, block all the exits! I have issued a military order to the higher-ups. If even one of these 100 people can escape, I will put down my gun from now on and quit this job!!"
…
At the same time, the Mexican-Lao coalition forces were at the front line.
"They are at Hill 048!" Gu Baishun stood up in the command room and said excitedly, "After a night of hard work, they finally found the trap!"
Su Tianyu thought for a long time, then turned around and said, "Prepare the helicopter. I will go there in person to give this guy the highest standard of reception!"
