Chapter 1414 Ambush

There are no human beings within a few miles of this hilly area, so there is no need to worry about the sound of gunshots being heard in the wind and snow at midnight and disturbing other Houjin troops. As for coldly killing all the enemies present, this is very important to the soldiers of the sniper team.

There was no psychological barrier at all. The information they received showed that the enemies in Liaodong were barbaric and cruel. Naturally, they would not have any thoughts of mercy towards such enemies.

The forest was filled with a strong smell of blood. As if smelling this smell, there was a faint sound of howling wolves in the snowy fields in the distance. Morgan ordered the fire in the middle of the camp to be relit to prevent the beasts from getting too close. Then everyone put these

The corpses were dragged to the side and piled together, and the blood stains and corpses were temporarily covered with snow. This was not to worry about anyone discovering these corpses, but purely to prevent the smell of blood from spreading and attracting too many predatory beasts.

After killing a patrol consisting of twelve Houjin soldiers, the snipers did not feel much excitement. After all, the combat skills they needed to practice during this trip were not close-quarters assassinations. There was really nothing to kill these Houjin soldiers with a pistol.

There was a sense of accomplishment. However, Morgan's order to dispose of the scene and the corpses of Hou Jin soldiers already showed a certain attitude, so the soldiers were waiting for his new instructions.

"We will stay here for a while." Morgan looked at his watch and then said to his subordinates: "Wait for the next enemy patrol to fall into the trap and use them as target practice!"

Of course, Morgan was not willing to take the risk and just complete the reconnaissance mission after traveling in such a long circle. The purpose of his trip was to provide the snipers with an opportunity for practical training, but if he didn't even use the main weapon,

Yes, what else do you call actual combat training?

The two days of reconnaissance operations allowed him to basically confirm that this was the southern border patrolled by the Hou Jin army. The nearest Hou Jin stronghold was about ten miles away. A patrol team would be sent here to change the guard the next day.

, so they can just sit back and wait for the enemy's small team to arrive. As for how long it will take for the Hou Jin Army to respond, Morgan is very optimistic. With the enemy's loose management system,

, I’m afraid it’s difficult to have a complete emergency plan.

However, out of caution, Morgan still sent one soldier from the special operations battalion to return to the mountain station more than ten miles away overnight, and informed Gao Qiaonan of the trip and Morgan's arrangements. He did not need Gao Qiaonan

It is necessary to send troops here to assist in the battle, but it is definitely necessary to be prepared for the response. In addition, he also needs some supplies from the rear in time. The rations the sniper team brought for this operation are not much. If they want to be active in the wild for a few more days,

Then we must rely on supplies from the rear.

Now that he was assured of occupying this place, Morgan naturally no longer worried about the fire exposing his whereabouts, and immediately ordered someone to boil a pot of water. The drinking water they carried when they set out had long been used up, and now the kettle was filled with snow.

The inside was frozen into a ball, making it impossible to drink. It was only then that we were finally able to eat a hot meal. After drinking hot water, everyone's spirits were obviously restored.

The soldiers found some rice and bacon from the camp of the Hou Jin soldiers, and threw them into the pot to cook. Although this kind of chowder had no taste at all, it was very refreshing for the soldiers who had been eating cold dry food in the wind and snow for two days.

For people, this is already good food.

After taking care of the belly, Morgan routinely deployed night sentries. The Haihan Army was not as chaotic as the Houjin Army. Even if there were only two or three people camping in the wild, they would arrange rotational security. Of course, the sniper team needed to be vigilant.

The direction is exactly opposite to the Houjin patrol, and the north is the direction to focus on.

After finishing all these things and setting up the tent, it was already 11 o'clock at night. Morgan fumbled his way into the sleeping bag and listened to the heavy breathing of his men in the tent, but his heart calmed down. Compared to having someone to take care of everything on Hainan Island

In the comfortable life of running errands, Morgan felt that he really felt energetic at this moment. The tension and excitement of fighting in the wild could not be experienced in the office anyway. Morgan enjoyed this feeling so much that he didn't even want to go back.

Go to the rear where life is calmer.

Going deep into enemy-occupied areas to carry out reconnaissance missions is something that no time traveler has done for a long time. Even front-line commanders such as Qian Tiandun, Wang Tom, and Harugong will not risk their lives easily. Only Morgan, or

He will boldly conduct reconnaissance and exploration of unknown areas according to the habits of a sniper. Even if others think this is a meaningless risk, Morgan will still do what he wants. Perhaps this is also the case, Morgan

The students under his command all admire him, and some have even regarded him as the ancestor of the special sniper unit. Although this ancestor is a Westerner, Morgan can speak Chinese relatively fluently now, but he doesn't know how to speak Chinese.

How much alienation does it create for subordinates?

How the Haihan Kingdom will expand outwards in the future, where the Executive Committee's desire for conquest will end, and what plans the Ministry of Defense has, are not actually matters that Morgan really cares about. He is just a very pure soldier who wants to continue to

Fight to prove the value of his existence. Regardless of whether it is Houjin or other weapons, as long as the situation calls for it, Morgan will not hesitate to throw himself into the battle.

"War, especially winning a war, is really addictive!" A strange thought came to Morgan's mind, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

It was just getting dark when Morgan was woken up by his subordinates. This was not because something happened, but because he had requested before going to bed yesterday that he should be woken up immediately after his shift ended in the early morning. As for the possibility of another outbreak today,

During the battle, Morgan must make some arrangements in advance in order to achieve the best results from this actual combat training.

According to the information currently available, there should be a patrol coming from the north today to replace the troops stationed here, so Morgan planned to use the patrol that came to his door as a target to let his snipers practice field combat.

Considering that there may be so many cavalry in the patrol, in order to kill them all, the rider who is most likely to escape must be killed first. Therefore, the target of shooting must be divided into divisions, and the shooting angle must also be designed. Otherwise, all

The snipers are crowded together, and the area and power of the output firepower cannot be used at the level it should be.

Based on the location where the Houjin patrol set up camp here, it is not difficult to deduce their route up the hill from the north. The multiple shooting positions designed by Morgan are aimed at this route, allowing the sniper team to

Maximize the intensity of firepower output. When considering the shooting distance, you need to take into account the current geographical environment and climate conditions. If the snowfall continues, the visibility will directly affect the snipers' operations. These objective factors must

You have to think about it in advance.

Morgan was worried that the other party's patrol would arrive early, so he got up early in the morning to make deployments, keeping the initiative firmly in his own hands. However, he waited until noon and saw no sign of anyone in the north. Morgan had to leave half of his men on duty.

Take turns eating in batches.

It was not until around two o'clock in the afternoon that the Houjin patrol who came to change shifts finally appeared in the field of view of the telescope. Morgan immediately gathered his men and entered the combat position to wait for orders.

This Houjin patrol team also has a configuration of twelve people, three cavalry and nine steps. It seems that this should be the standard configuration of the patrol team of the Houjin army. However, they should not have thought that what was waiting for them in this forest was

They were not his own companions, but the elite members of the Haihan army who were armed and ready to use them as live targets.

In order to be safe, Morgan arranged for the two men with the best marksmanship to be responsible for the three riders, and the rest were divided among the remaining people. Because the preparations for this sniper operation were sufficient, Morgan did not follow the one-on-one approach.

Instead of arranging observers in principle, the task of observing the results of the battle was given to the only non-sniper, so that the twelve snipers brought out this time all acted as shooters in order to maximize the training effect.

Because the snowfall still continued, Morgan decided to place the target closer before shooting. Of course, this close range was relative to the range of a sniper rifle, and it was still a distance that was difficult for ordinary rifles to aim with the naked eye.

But the progress of the matter was not as smooth as Morgan expected. When the unit was about a hundred feet away from the hill where the sniper team was hiding, it suddenly stopped silently. Morgan quickly picked up the telescope to observe, and found that Ma

The rider on his back seems to be setting up a pergola with his hands and looking towards the camp high up on the hill here.

The sniper team had already counted the number of corpses after killing people last night, and conducted a patrol of the entire mountain this morning. It was basically certain that no fish had slipped through the net. And the corpses of those Hou Jin soldiers were all piled together.

, it has already been frozen solid, and it is impossible to see the hiding place of the corpse at the foot of the mountain. So what are these Hou Jin soldiers looking at?

"Not good!" Morgan suddenly reacted. Although the Houjin Patrol Team has a careless side, this is a war zone after all. When the other party is changing the guard, if they just walk up like this, there will definitely be certain risks. After all,

It is not surprising that a patrol team like this was suddenly taken away by the Haihan Army. Therefore, the personnel stationed here should set some kind of safety signal for the patrol team that comes to change the guard. Otherwise, it means that there has been some kind of problem here.

, no more rash entry.

This kind of signal may be to hang a flag somewhere or light a lantern, but the entire patrol died last night, and of course there was no time to leave a safe signal to the companions who arrived here the next day. This was originally very difficult.

A basic approach, but Morgan has always looked down on the military quality of the Hou Jin Army, so he ignored this factor intentionally or unintentionally. The opponent did not see the proper safety signals in the visual distance, so he stopped at

Watching in the snowy wilderness.

After Morgan figured out this link, he immediately ordered to prepare to fire. He originally wanted to put the opponent closer and then attack, but now that the flaw has been exposed, the opponent will probably not take the initiative to enter his most powerful position.

It's within range.

There are two ways for the Houjin patrol outside the mountain. One is to divide the troops and send people to the camp on the mountain to check the situation. The other is to immediately turn around and leave here to return to life. But the latter is obviously not very scientific and has not touched the ground.

He ran away after clearing the situation, and it would definitely be difficult to explain to his superiors when he returned. So he soon saw two infantrymen separated from the team, approaching the camp at a fast pace.

Morgan noticed that the three cavalrymen had slowly dispersed their formation, and seemed to be ready to abandon the infantry and retreat at any time. But this was not surprising in the Houjin army. After all, their arms were divided into high and low status.

, these infantry without mounts are obviously inferior arms, and are naturally the most likely to be used as cannon fodder in battle.

Morgan knew that there was no time to delay. When the two infantrymen came up the mountain, even if they were killed quietly, if the Houjin army outside the mountain realized that something was wrong, the three cavalrymen would definitely turn around and run away. He put his eyes close to the

In front of the scope, he silently aimed at the upper body of the rider farthest away, then held his breath and adjusted his breathing, and pulled the trigger with an extremely light and quick movement.

After a loud gunshot, the rider was shot immediately. Before his companions could wake up, gunshots in the forest had already rang out one after another. More than a dozen bullets flew out from the forest and hit the enemy from top to bottom.

There was no cover for these enemies in the snowy field. In just one breath, this round of attacks had already knocked down eight of them, leaving only one step at a time, still standing in shock among their fallen companions.

The two infantrymen who were almost at the foot of the mountain were even more confused. They heard gunshots coming from the mountain. When they looked back, most of their companions had fallen. It was time to rush towards the mountain where many enemies were ambushed.

, or should we turn around and run to the plains?

Morgan ignored the two Houjin soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Instead, he immediately loaded the second bullet, then aimed at the last cavalryman who had turned around and was about to escape, and pulled the trigger again. After the cavalryman was shot

He fell on the horse and did not know whether he was dead or alive, but the horse had already galloped away. The other infantryman was even more miserable. Before he could decide whether to follow or hide, the second round of shooting had already come.

He was hit by at least four or five bullets at the same time and died almost as soon as he fell to the ground, faster than his companions who fell in the first round of shooting.

"Shoot the horse!" Morgan shouted loudly.

Everyone reloaded quickly, then aimed at the horse that was carrying the lancer running towards the distance, and opened fire. In the short delay, the horse's speed had already increased, and it became slightly chaotic.

The third round of shots accidentally missed the horse, and even Morgan himself fired a blank shot.
Chapter completed!
