Chapter 58 Sniper Plan (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
In the woods of Xishan Mountain, Zhang Pan led the 500 Dongjiang Army to closely watch the situation between the enemy and ourselves. Seeing that Jianlu's first attack was severely damaged, he couldn't help but cheer.
The ability to crush the Jianlu attack so easily and cause heavy casualties was all due to the power of landmines and Guo Dajing's clever burial method.
"General." Zhang Pan was called back from his thoughts and turned around to see Guo Dajing coming to ask for orders.
Zhang Pan looked at Guo Dajing's calm face, nodded with admiration, and warned: "Be careful, if there is no chance, don't take risks."
"The last general will save it." Guo Dajing bowed and saluted, turned around and left.
Zhang Pan looked at Guo Dajing's back and shook his head helplessly. This guy was good at everything, but he was too eager to kill Jianlu, even at his own risk.
Maybe he was too eager to make meritorious deeds so that he could find a satisfactory island with Mao Shuai after the war.
Zhang Pan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and turned around, continuing to observe Jianlu's movements.
Being trapped in an isolated city is not the best, although it may have the motivating effect of a last-ditch fight, life or death. Zhang Pan's troops are acting as a support, ambush outside the city, waiting for the opportunity to attack from inside and outside.
………………….
Traveling through forests and ridges, Guo Dajing, Liu Qishi and others used several horse-drawn sledges to carry mines and food, bypassing the battlefield and making a detour towards the Jianlu's retreat route.
It was not that he wanted to block Jianlu and annihilate him, but that Guo Dajing wanted to snipe and kill Yue Tuo on Jianlu's way back.
In the eyes of Zhang Pan and others, this is a bold and risky action. But for Guo Dajing, as long as it is planned properly and cooperates closely, the possibility of success is high and the risks are controllable.
Zhang Pan heard Guo Dajing's plan and felt that it was indeed feasible with the help of mines. Based on Guo Dajing's insistence, he nodded and approved.
"Spring is here." Liu Qishi exhaled thick white mist from his mouth, stopped and looked into the distance, pointed and said nonsense, "Is that the place you are talking about?"
Guo Dajing looked around and nodded: "It should be there."
Liu Qishi glanced at Guo Dajing and said, "Brother, don't work so hard just for an island."
Guo Dajing smiled and said: "Brother, it's not necessary to go all out, just to take a little risk. It's just a normal battle. Isn't there any danger?"
Liu Qishi shook his head slightly and said, "You are getting more and more slippery in your speech. I can't speak to you."
Guo Dajing didn't pay attention to this, and didn't want to explain. He said: "Let's go, arrive early, and arrange the arrangements early. The better prepared we are, the greater the chance of success, and the safer I will be."
Liu Qishi exhaled a long breath, sighing helplessly, followed Guo Dajing, stepped forward and continued walking.
People with high skills are bold, and those who are bold are more skilled.
Guo Dajing had a hunting crossbow, but he did not dare to boast that he was the best in the world in shooting skills. Some Jianlu's hard bows may not be inferior to him in terms of range and accuracy.
But Guo Dajing was still somewhat confident in sniping and killing Yue Tuan, because he knew all the major principles of sniper. But Jianlu had never imagined that there would be such an attack and killing method.
Become an expert at camouflage and terrain use; survival on the battlefield is ten times more camouflage and twice as much shooting; fire calmly and purposefully, shoot with full concentration, and finish off your opponent in one go.
If we talk about the most important rules, Guo Dajing recommends camouflage and concealment. Hiding well so that the enemy cannot find it, this should be the sniper's top priority.
Shoot a fatal arrow when the enemy is unaware. To do this, you must make the enemy unable to see you.
Half an hour later, Guo Dajing and others finally arrived at the selected battlefield. This was the terrain that Guo Dajing remembered in his mind when he passed this place when he was heading to Longgu Mountain City.
On one side of the road is a bare hillside. Apart from the snow, there are sparse shrubs and the remaining cut straw stubble. Climb fifty or sixty meters along the hillside, and you will find the woods.
In other words, on the road, you can tell if there is an ambush as far as you can see. In the woods, you can't see clearly, but the distance is too far, and it is impossible to pose any threat to bows and arrows.
The sniper position that Guo Dajing chose was precisely this bare hillside with seemingly no hiding place.
This is a kind of reverse thinking. In a place with difficult terrain and easy ambush, the enemy must be cautious and intensify the search.
But in places where it is impossible to hide and where there is not much threat to the march of the team, Jianlu will not be vigilant and pay attention in his heart.
This is normal human psychology. Just like after a tiring day, when you see the lights at home, you will subconsciously speed up your pace, hoping to enter a quiet and comfortable haven as soon as possible.
Guo Dajing carefully estimated the distance, carefully observed the surrounding terrain again, and finally selected his sniper position.
We were more than seventy meters away from the road, and the human face could no longer be seen with the naked eye. In fact, the details of the scenery thirty or fifty meters away were no longer clear to the naked eye.
This distance was chosen because, firstly, Guo Dajing was confident in his crossbow and archery skills, and secondly, Jianlu would not be able to find him unless he got closer.
After choosing the distance, Guo Dajing began to lead people to make arrangements. Frozen soil was difficult to dig, but with more people and greater strength, it would not take long to dig out a hiding hole if they took turns.
Thick branches were placed on top of the hiding hole, covered with a mat, and covered with snow to disguise it as an inconspicuous small snow hill in the wilderness.
There is an observation hole in the front, which is not big. Guo Dajing also used white cloth as a camouflage. Through experiments, no abnormalities were found on the road.
Next was the work of Liu Qishi and others, which was mainly to lay mines. Around Guo Dajing's hiding place, more than 20 mines were triggered by pedals and iron clips.
A hundred meters away from here, at the corner of the road, some more mines were laid, and a stone weighing several hundred kilograms was lifted and erected in the middle of the road.
Delaying Jianlu's footsteps creates the most favorable conditions for Guo Dajing's sniper attack. At the same time, when Guo Dajing retreats, if Jianlu pursues them, landmines will be triggered, slowing down their speed.
In the woods, some mines and traps were set up. Landmines are mainly used for tripping. There are trees that can be used, so they can be laid easily and quickly.
Liu Qishi led a small team to ambush here, preparing to assist Guo Dajing in safely retreating.
Next is the work of Wang Guozhong and others, laying mines in the snowy fields and woods near the boulders, preparing to delay the advance of the Jianlu and provide guarantee for a safe retreat.
If you come after me, I'll blow you up so that you don't dare to chase after you. You can even lead the enemy into a mine array, which is equivalent to a big trap.
Guo Dajing carefully swept away the traces in the snow around the lurking position. The cold wind blew up the snow dust, which soon became difficult to detect.
Liu Qishi and others watched and learned from the sidelines. They were used to fighting head-on, but they were completely outsiders when it came to this kind of secret attack and sniping.
