Standard Terra Calendar, 954.M41
Ultimate Star Field, Demeter Star Sector, Pandora Galaxy, Pain Star, Red Sand Mountains
< br>Devil's Cross is an obelisk landmark erected at the intersection of the only road leading to Macon Mountain Camp. The landmark points east.
When night fell, the hedgehog looked for his superiors everywhere, and finally found Stryker striding towards a trench next to the communication array, accompanied by one of his sergeants, so he hurriedly trotted to follow them.
"Give me the binoculars."
In the silent night, Stryker had to hold his throat to avoid being discovered by the enemy.
The sergeant beside him took out the brass telescope from his bag. Stryker took it and stood at the edge of the trench, scanning outside the trench.
Wen Lai, the leader of the Second Militia Regiment of Pai Ming Star, also came over, causing Stryker who smelled a certain smell to
glance to the side.
"What are you holding in your mouth?"
Brunei took out the homemade cigarettes and displayed them proudly.
"The smell of licorice, I feel like I'm addicted to smoking. Sir, can you see the enemy's position clearly?"
Stryker sniffed, forced himself to forget his addiction, and then started again Turn your head.
“I can see the lights of Voss Camp, mostly campfires and shrine lights, and searchlights. It doesn’t look very beautiful.”
Stryker rolled up the binoculars, jumped down from the edge of the trench, and handed the binoculars to Brunei.
At this time, the hedgehog had unfolded a map data pad that stood on a metal tripod. Stryker adjusted the knob-like lever on the edge of the data pad to make the data pad interface slowly glow.
After that, he inserted a ceramic data chip that contained nearby geographical data information, and then straightened the screen to show it to the officers standing aside.
“This is Ghost Canyon.”
Strike pointed the tip of his long Catachan saber at the screen, and the cannons in the distance seemed to emphasize this point. The fire was fired, and the battlefield map shook with the violent shock wave, and the earth from the top of the trench was shaken off.
It was the third day that the enemy was bombarding the garrison position closest to Voss Camp.
“The canyon is about four kilometers wide and 12 kilometers long. Its west side is surrounded by mountains, where the enemy’s position is located. At the end of the enemy’s position is Voss Camp, which was built three hundred years ago. The fortress was surrounded by a thirty-meter-high granite wall, but the place was controlled by a stubborn bastard who disobeyed orders and was quickly captured when the Chaos army invaded, turning it into a fortress for the enemy."
Everyone is very clear about the facts explained by Stryker. Camp Voss originally had high hopes. Depending on its strong walls, it might become a stronghold to block the enemy's forward.
But unfortunately, this camp belongs to an old local family. They hate "outsiders" like Stryker, so they refuse the garrison's request to enter, claiming that they can protect their homeland.
But the facts proved that they could not do it. The solid city wall only lasted for three hours and fell before Stryker could even come to support.
It doesn't matter if they die, but the problem is that another important point of Camp Voss is that it controls the only dam in the Red Sand Mountains.
The Red Sand Mountains have a hot and arid climate. Although the mines are rich in resources, water resources are very scarce. Except for a few mountain springs, there is only one Red River, and Voss Camp is located at the upper reaches of the Red River.
Now Stryker still has nine explorer fortresses and almost half a million soldiers and civilians. These people basically rely on the Red River for drinking water.
But this lifeline was strangled by the enemy.
In order to solve this problem, Stryker thought of many ways and executed several plans, but they all ended in failure.
Obviously, it is no longer realistic to recapture Voss Camp, so the only way is to destroy the dam so that the enemy cannot control it——
“The only feasible option——”
Strike Press a button on the side of the screen to display another area on the screen.
“The Red River is wide and flows slowly, even more slowly in this season of the year. Most of the river has dried up. We can walk along the dry river channel, which makes it difficult to be discovered.” How many people are participating? ”
Brunei suddenly said, this strong man was still smoking intently, blinking occasionally.
"There are about a thousand people. Of course we have to advance in the night. After half an hour, the troops will be divided into skirmish line teams of thirty people to advance in order to avoid exposing our whereabouts."
< br>Strike tapped another area of the screen.
“After investigation, we found that there is an ancient artificial river here. It has been in ruins for thousands of years, but the water gate is still intact. After arriving at the predetermined location, we entered through the water gate of the ancient river. There should be no There is no defense, and the militia commanded by you, Brunei Lieutenant, stormed the drainage outlet on the west side of the city wall to attract the enemy's attention."
"Okay."
"After we break into the dam, we open the floodgates. The team commander must select soldiers with experience in using explosives and ensure that every ten people have one full of explosives or blasting tubes. The rest of the team must cover him when the demolition hand explodes. "
While Stryker spoke, the officers were silent except for the relentless bombardment of enemy artillery in the distance.
"In ten minutes, the whole team will set off."
The officers quickly dispersed,
When Brunei left, his eyes followed the intersection of the position and Stryker.
Due to the heavy artillery fire, he clenched his fists and hit his chest twice, silently wishing good luck, while Stryker nodded in response.
They were strangers half a year ago, but now they are friends of life and death. This is the special magic of the battlefield.
Soon, the team set off.
There was no problem at first, as they moved in the shadow of the river without alerting any enemies.
But Stryker found this smoothness a bit strange.
When he arrived at the predetermined assembly point, he adjusted his night vision goggles and looked around.
The surrounding environment appears green in the field of vision of the night vision device. The dam is about 1,300 meters wide and 150 meters high. It is a majestic building that can introduce water from the Red River to promote power generation. device, so it is not only related to the water supply of adjacent areas, but also designed to the power supply of the entire area.
The sluice gate must have been lowered, because there was no water flow at this time.
Strike tapped his miniature communication bead.
“What’s going on with the augur?”
The auspicious operator heard the commander's call and responded, walking through the reeds to where Stryker stood behind the rotting wooden dock.
"Report, there is no response from the auspicious device."
Hearing this, Stryker smiled slightly, his exposed teeth reflecting the starlight.
"Very good, keep an eye on this thing."
After saying that, he led the team towards the ancient waterway. It was located on the side of the rock wall, and there were still traces of traces that had been touched inside. Shallow water at the heel.
The water gate of the ancient river channel is a pile of rocks, about five meters high. Under Stryker's order, the blasters stepped forward and began to place explosives.
From the 29th to the 31st of this month, the monthly tickets will be doubled. I hope everyone will support us!
