Chapter 142 Artillery Positions
Chapter 142 Artillery Positions
When he knew that he and others might have found the opponent's artillery position, Lin Dong became excited.
The five followed the traces left by the convoy all the way, and started their long night trek.
Although each of them has physical strength beyond ordinary people, it is still unrealistic to really catch up with the moving car.
So in just 10 minutes, they couldn't even see the shadow of the team.
The next journey can only rely on Sophie's investigation.
However, it is not an easy task to really detect and track the convoy.Because there are obviously more vehicles in some places, and the traces left are also very messy.
It took about four hours, the moon in the sky had already set, and the sky gradually turned pale. They finally found their destination.
It was a small low-lying basin, or it could be said to be an oasis-like place.
The area of the basin is less than five kilometers, and there is a flowing river in the middle, which is why a jungle-like green space can be formed here.
"Will their artillery really be placed in such a place?" Lin Dong asked with some doubts.
"Why not? It's very hidden here, very suitable for artillery concealment." Sophie said.
"Uh, I thought the artillery positions were usually at high places, like a high ground or something."
This is Ben who was standing aside and explained: "Boss, the setting of artillery positions depends on the situation, not everyone likes to be placed on high ground.
The role of the high ground is not what ordinary people think. If you stand high, you can shoot far.
Ordinary highlands are less than a few hundred meters higher, and even if it is an extra few hundred meters, it is nothing to artillery that is more than ten or even tens of kilometers.
Moreover, it is easy for infantry to climb the mountain, but it is too difficult for those several-ton cannons to drag up the mountain.
Except for light artillery such as mortars and mountain cannons, other howitzers, cannons, etc., these are generally not sent to the mountains with great effort.
The advantage of going up the hill is that you can improve your shooting range.
But this factor is rarely at play.More often, the purpose of going up the mountain is to use the reverse slope of the mountain to arrange artillery positions to prevent enemy shelling.
When your position is on the back of the mountain, it will be difficult for the enemy's rockets and cannons with low-reaching ballistics to hit the back of the mountain.
In fact, in combat, large artillery can't go up the mountain, and they all set up positions at the foot of the mountain. "
Lin Dong nodded clearly.
Sophie next to her also added a few words.
"Brega where we are now is in the north of Villa. The terrain of this generation is a low-altitude plain that is rare in Villa. It is not easy to find a suitable place to hide artillery positions.
And this small low-lying basin is not the most suitable place to choose a position from all aspects, but compared with other places, the concealment here is much higher.
Moreover, it should not be far from the Brega frontline battlefield, so it is not unusual to choose this place as an artillery position. "
Lin Dong nodded and said, "Okay, but we want to find out the situation, so we still have to go in.
But now the sky is about to dawn. Even though the terrain in this basin is complex and the trees are everywhere, it is easy for us to hide, but it is still a bit unrealistic to enter other people's positions during the day, so we seem to need to lurk inside for a day. Wait until night in action. "
The other four nodded. This kind of thing is not a big deal, and they are not unfamiliar with camouflage and lurking.
…………
The breeze blew through the jungle, and the leaves made a rustling sound.
At this time, Lin Dong and the five had each found a hidden place to lurk, waiting for the night to come again.
"Although this is a jungle, the air is still full of dryness."
Wall's voice reached the ears of the other four from the communicator headset.
Sophie didn't say a word about it, which was her usual style. Unless necessary, she would occasionally have a few words with Lin Dong.
Villa is a country full of deserts and Gobi. Even though it is close to the ocean, when the sea breeze blows here, the moisture in the air has disappeared.
At this time, Lin Dong's body was hiding in a bush, and his camouflage skills had reached the intermediate level, so as long as he didn't really stand by and observe, he wouldn't find that there was a person hiding here.
"Wal, pay attention to observe the enemy's situation, and stop gossiping."
At this moment, Wall's hiding place is the most special, because he is on top of a big tree hugging two people, which is the largest tree in the entire forest.
Wall's whole body was stuck next to a thick branch, and his body was tied to the tree to keep himself from falling. He covered his figure with dense leaves, and then observed them through the telescope all the time. artillery positions.
To be honest, this posture is really uncomfortable, but now Wall has maintained it for a whole morning.
At this time, the five of them were only 500 meters away from the position. Wall was able to clearly see a corner of their position through the telescope from a high place.
"Don't worry, boss, talking doesn't affect my observation, otherwise I'm afraid I'll really fall asleep."
Lin Dong smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. After all, talking might make Wall feel better in the future.
As long as it won't be noticed by the patrolling soldiers.
Zafik's government forces really guarded their artillery positions very tightly. Even in such a hidden place, they still sent many patrols to patrol the jungle.
In one morning, there were already five patrols passing by the direction where Lin Dong and the others were lurking.
But fortunately, their patrolling team didn't bring military dogs or anything. With these soldiers alone, they couldn't detect Lin Dong's disguise.
However, it seems that the Villa government army does not have the existence of detection dogs like in the TV Lin Dong watched before.
"Boss, pay attention, their patrols are here again, and this time the direction seems to be your direction, be careful, don't be discovered!"
Lin Dong, who was thinking, was interrupted by Wall's voice, frowned, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not that bad."
After finishing speaking, Lin Dong fell silent.The mountain wind was blowing the bushes beside him, but Lin Dong's figure did not appear at all.
Click, click, click.
The footsteps came from far to near, at this moment Lin Dong could already see the figures of those soldiers through the gaps in the bushes.
As the patrol got closer, Lin Dong's breathing disappeared.His whole person seems to have completely merged with the surrounding environment.
