Arc of Gunfire

Commanda Squad Commander Jonald Jonathan used a telescope to observe the target, the Finney Valley Bridge.

Behind him was a pile of Kochia scoparia - a plant of the Amaranthaceae family that looked like a bunch of green wool balls, which was the main provider of green on the Barras Plateau.

The commandos led by Jonald were all hidden among the Kochia scoparia.

Except for a few people in charge of vigilance, the others were resting and began to chat casually.

"Damn it, the vacation we agreed on is gone. We just raised the supply of the Desert Fox and the hope of occupying Alexandria in Alexandria, and now we are thrown into this barren place."

"Yeah, even if we don't get a vacation, let us pick up more girls in Lokai. The women in Lokai are just a little dark, very beautiful."

Joanard looked back at his complaining subordinates: "I promise you, we will go home for vacation after taking this mission."

The subordinates booed in distrust: "Big Joe, I believe everything you say. Even if you say that we are going to kill Emperor Proson today, the brothers will believe that you can do it, but as for the vacation - can you tell me when you have fulfilled your promise?"

Joanard shook his head helplessly.

The subordinates were still teasing: "In fact, we don't distrust you, Old Joe, we distrust the officers - well, you are an officer, mine. Anyway, they will not honor the vacation."

At this time, the scout Gonif in the platoon said: "Old Joe, why don't you bring your long sword? Is that strange-looking scimitar a souvenir?"

Joanard: "I don't know where my long sword fell when I retreated from Alexandria. I was going to go back to the country and find a swordsmith to get one, but we didn't go back to the country, so I got a ready-made Mamluk scimitar from the swordsmith in Lokai. The stone statue guarding the palace also uses this."

Gonif: "Is it useful?"

"I don't know, I haven't tried it on the heads of the Prosens yet. Maybe I'll try it on the heads of the Barras tonight."

As he was talking, a three-wheeled motorcycle came all the way from the direction of the bridge with a rumbling sound, and stopped after turning around the small mound where Jonard and his men were hiding.

"Colonel Hoffman", who helped Jonard and his men sneak into the military port in Alexandria before, jumped off his motorcycle. This time he was wearing a set of officer uniforms of the Barras Royal Guards, and a coat that looked like the leather jacket of the Plosson Motorcycle Troops.

Jonard: "What do you mean, 'Colonel Hoffman'."

The disguise master codenamed "Doctor" shook his head: "Don't mention it, the people guarding the bridge are not Baras people, but Proson people! Genuine Proson people, but they are dressed like Baras people! The intelligence before the operation said that there are only 1,000 to 2,000 retired Proson instructors in Baras, damn it! I saw at least 500 at the bridge!"

Joanard: "Did you successfully go in for reconnaissance?"

"No! The Proson people looked down on me and wouldn't let me in!"

Joanard: "It seems that frontal reconnaissance won't work. Gonif, it's your turn, see if you can sneak in."

"Okay!" Gonif stood up and took off all his equipment, leaving only a dagger on his body.

Joanard warned: "Be sure to find out whether the enemy has installed bombs on the bridge and where the bomb control device is!"

Gonif saluted, then ran with his back crouched, and quickly disappeared in the group of Kochia.

The doctor stood beside Jonard: "If he runs over like this, it will be night when he comes back."

"Isn't that just right for our action?" Jonard said, "I know Gonif, he won't mess it up. His only flaw is that he can't speak Prosin, otherwise he can complete many tasks alone."

At this time, someone among the subordinates laughed: "Let Gonif learn Prosin? You are so whimsical, boss, he can't even speak Angsa fluently, and he is at a loss for slightly difficult words."

Joanard: "I know. He doesn't look like he will learn well."

The doctor changed the subject: "So what should we do now?"

Joanard: "Wait, don't act rashly without specific information."

As he said this, he took out a cigarette box from his arms, opened it, took out a cigar, bit off one end, struck a match and lit it carefully, then held it in his mouth and took a deep breath.

Time seemed to pass quickly in the faint smoke of the cigar.

When Jonard lit up the umpteenth cigar, night fell, and Gonif stumbled back.

"I've basically figured it out!" he said, "Give me the map!"

Jonard immediately took out the full map of the bridge and surrounding fortifications provided by MI6 before the operation.

Gonif: "I didn't find a chance to cross the bridge, so I don't know what's going on on the other side, but I've figured out this side. We have not only six machine guns on this side, but also anti-aircraft guns. I've seen the firing range, and these anti-aircraft guns can be laid flat and fired.

"Boss, we can't attack this place by ourselves! But if we seize these weapons first, it can help us inflict heavy damage on the enemy. "

Jonard: "Did you find the explosives for blowing up the bridge?"

"I found it. I don't know how many were laid, but they were all attached to the bottom of the steel frame of the bridge. I followed the detonation line of the explosives to find the detonator and found it in the bridgehead on the right side of the bridge.

"There are Proson people on duty inside. I don't understand Proson language and I don't dare to go in."

Gonev said as he drew all the above content on the map distributed by MI6.

The doctor scolded: "Sure enough, the map in our hands is inaccurate."

"Just get used to it." Jonard said, "Gonif, you go back and find a way to get some military uniforms... This time the doctor will pretend to be an officer Prosen, who was sent here like them, wearing a ballast. Officer Prosen in Sri Lankan uniform. Let’s go there in the car—”

Goniff took the big package from behind and pushed it to Jonard: "Do you think these are enough?"

Jonard seemed to have expected it and smiled: "I knew you wouldn't come back empty-handed."

"Thieves don't make mistakes." Gao Nifu said with a smile.

"Then we're going to disguise ourselves—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers on guard on the north side blew their whistles.

Jonard turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

The sentry began to make gestures. After a round of gestures, Jonard frowned: "The troops are coming from the north? Why this time? No, the landing operation has already begun. These are the defeated troops.

"Didn't you say that the person who attacked was Rokossov? Didn't he say that he rarely defeated enemies, but only annihilated them?"

No one could answer him, because no one was familiar with the real Rokossov.

Jonard stood up and hurried to the northern sentry post. As a result, he saw the enemy without even waiting for the telescope - because all the enemy's cars had their headlights on.

"Dry!"

At this time, the convoy was approaching the hill where the Komandas were hiding. Jonard could only turn around and order everyone to lie down and hide among the kochia.

So such a large Komanda detachment disappeared into the early night.

In fact, Jonard and the others were overthinking it. The team was just running away and had no time to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

This brigade with their headlights on went straight to the bridgehead, but were stopped by the guard box next to the bridgehead.

You can vaguely hear the Plosen language floating in the air, and some people are using Balas to curse with the Plosen people, regardless of whether they understand it or not.

After listening for a while, the doctor said: "The Baras wanted to cross the bridge, but the Pulosans told them to go back quickly and continue fighting the 'invaders'."

Jonard sneered: "You think we are just a United Kingdom. We have indeed done a lot of dirty things, but Ant was invaded by you!"

The surrounding Komanda players all looked at Jonard.

Jonard: "Am I wrong? In Burma and Babylon, we even used poison gas to suppress our enemies."

Doctor: "Are you... a secularist?"

Jonard shut up.

After a brief silence, he said: "The plan has changed. Can you think of a way to persuade the Plosans to let the Barras pass? Then we will hide under these trucks and cross the bridge, hiding in key locations."

The doctor thought for a while and said, "I can give it a try."

Gonif pushed a pile of military uniforms in his hand towards him: "Military uniforms, top colonel, pick whatever you want!"

"No," the doctor shook his head, "I am in the most suitable body now. When I go down to mediate the conflict, you can take this opportunity to hide under the car."

Jonnard: "Divide into two groups. Those who don't know Prosin and are not good at acting, crawl under the car. The others change into military uniforms and follow Gonif and sneak in from the path he took. Start taking action."

So the commanders of a platoon immediately split up and took action.
