Chapter 47 Surprise Attack on Hill 21

After evading several observation posts, the airship formation at Shuhu finally arrived at its designated location.

It must be said that the pilots who participated in the testing of these weapons were all elites among elites. In order to avoid observation posts, the lowest altitude they ever flew was not even higher than the treetop line.

As the turbine's speed gradually decreased, the altitude of the [Shuhu] airship also gradually decreased.

At a height of about 6 zhang (3m) above the ground, one after another, the black-clad warriors leaped out of the hatch, landed on the ground, and then disappeared into the nameless wild vegetation that was more than half a person tall.

Shen Yi, who landed first, made several hand signals, and the others who followed quickly took their positions and gave safety signals as well.

More than 100 people quickly completed the air landing, and after unloading, the [Shuhu] fleet swiftly returned to base.

Wei Ru put on the earmuffs and placed the mobile communication station on the ground.

In order to carry it and its equipment, all communications soldiers had to abandon most of their weapons. Wei Ru, as a martial artist, had reached the intermediate level of martial apprentice, so she was much better equipped than ordinary communications soldiers.

In addition to a pistol for self-defense, it can also carry a bullet pouch and a repeating pistol with a 30-round magazine.

However, heavier weapons and bullets like the [Gan Qi-Modified] are impossible to obtain; don't even think about it.

"A Wanderer Sings (Communication Trial)," please reply.

"The team leader (a small group) has received this."

"Mountain Backs (Second Squad) received."

"Ponytail (Squad 3) received."

"Flute (sniper) received."

"Slingshot (scout) received."

"Received, sir." Wei Ru replied, then handed the communicator to Shen Yi beside her. "Attention all units, Plan One, proceed!"

Mo Zian put away his extension walkie-talkie.

This communication device, which is slightly narrower but thicker than a red brick, can quickly communicate with the mobile communication station that acts as the "host" and other "extensions" belonging to the same "host".

However, if you want to make external communications, you need to know the other party's calling frequency in advance.

Typically, a single mainframe can support a varying number of extension units, depending on its power output, and the communication range also varies accordingly.

The training squadron uses the paratrooper version, which has a longer communication range and is much smaller than the army version, but has two fewer extensions.

As Shen Yi gave the order, the training squadron, hidden in the dense grass, instantly changed from stillness to movement, and Mo Zi'an also turned and ran towards a predetermined unnamed hill.

Before long, all units of the training squadron arrived at their designated positions.

"The traveler calls for the flute, how are things there? Over."

"I have reached the designated high ground and am looking for a shooting position. Over."

Mo Zian looked around and found that the space at the top edge of the high ground was too cramped to accommodate a team, and the last section leading to the top was almost vertical, and its location was not particularly crucial. No wonder the Black team did not pay much attention to it.

Moreover, this place is actually quite far from Hill 21, a full 2600 zhang (1300m) – which not only exceeds the normal firing range of the sniper-type [736-modified], but also makes it difficult for ordinary gunners to achieve much at this distance.

But the Judge's range was sufficient, and Mo Zian was also very confident in his marksmanship.

Finally, Mo Zian found a sturdy ancient tree and climbed up it.

"The flute calls to the wanderer, that's all."

"Received, my friend. Please speak."

"I'm in position, currently doing a sound check (observation), that's all."

"Received by the traveler."

Mo Zian placed the communicator in the leather holster draped over his chest, opened the cap on the [Judge] scope, and placed his eyes behind the scope barrel—

The weather is great now, with almost no clouds. The height difference allows Mo Zian to get a clear view of the situation on Hill 21 by the cool moonlight.

......

At the foot of Hill 21.

Wei Ru hid behind a large rock, set up a mobile communication station, and slightly raised the antenna.

"Okay...okay, you've received it, my friend."

Shen Yi, who was observing the terrain nearby, put down his binoculars. "How's it going? Any results from Lao Bi's side?"

"Yes, the reconnaissance results are in."

Wei Ru read from the notebook in her hand, "The west side of Hill 21 is a cliff, which our personnel can climb. The east side is a gentle slope with an estimated inclination of about 30-40 degrees."

On the high ground, there is a Black squadron that is implementing blackout. The commander has not yet been identified. They are equipped with two Long Dragon Type 5 1.55 micro-inch machine guns and one 12 micro-inch Private mortar.

Machine guns were deployed in a crossfire formation at both ends of the eastern side, while mortars were positioned in a semi-buried bunker in the center of the position. The main force was concentrated on the eastern side, with a squad keeping watch on the western side.

The squadron is currently building fortifications, but they are not yet fully completed; progress is about 50%.

Shen nodded. This was largely in line with his predictions, except that the terrain after the on-site survey differed somewhat from his initial expectations, requiring some minor adjustments to the plan.

Since rock climbing is possible, it provides another avenue for attack.

Just as he was about to issue the order, Wei Ru suddenly called out to him.

"Sir, wait a minute! There's a situation!" Wei Ru handed the earmuffs to Shen Yi. "He wants to speak to you."

......

On a huge ancient tree on an unnamed hill, Mo Zian, clad in camouflage, blended almost seamlessly into his surroundings. He was staring intently at Hill 21 through a scope.

"What's going on?" Shen Yi's calm voice came through the communicator.

"Report, I've found several crates of [Horse Archer] shells."

Mo Zian's gaze swept across the Black team's position. "These shells have been divided into three parts and evenly distributed to the three Black team squads, sir."

"are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Mo Zian said with great certainty, "At that time, someone was opening a box, and there were ten of them in a row. Apart from the shells for the 9-microinch (45mm) [Horse Archer] infantry gun, there wasn't enough room for other shells."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi stroked his chin. He genuinely couldn't figure out what these shells were for. Perhaps this position would be reinforced with [Horse Archer] infantry guns later, and these shells were just brought along—

This possibility is very high, but Shen Yi instinctively felt that this time it might not be that simple.

Even if we concede that these shells were transported along with the supply train, wouldn't it be the same? Why burden the infantry with unnecessary weight?

He wanted to adjust his offensive strategy, but every minute he delayed, the enemy's fortifications became more complete—if he delayed too long, a strong attack would surely take them down, but by then all tactical objectives would be difficult to achieve.

At this moment, Mo Zian's voice came through the earmuffs again.

......

"Sir, their fortifications haven't been properly concealed."

Mo Zian had already placed the Judge on a tree branch in front of him. "I haven't found the commander yet, but I can find their communications soldier. The communications equipment is already sitting on the ground, and the communications soldier is eating breakfast."

"Oh? You can take out the communications officer first?" Shen Yi's voice held a hint of surprise. "That way, we might have a chance to suppress communications..."

"No, I mean call the communications station directly." Mo Zian said, releasing the safety switch. "The exercise director is right next to us; he'll definitely be able to see us."
