Battlefield Contract Worker

"Actuary? What do you mean?" Gross frowned at the young man who was tied to a chair in handcuffs. Completely different from them, this young man did not have the slightest military aura, but instead had too much bookish air. A somewhat emaciated physique, and the pair of glasses he wears, make him more of a college student than a military fighter.

"My profession used to be called a staff officer, a master, or a staff officer." Mr. Jiang shrugged, "It's equivalent to a strategic planner. Since you've read "Sun Tzu", don't you know the records about temple calculations? The temple counts as a winner, and it counts as a lot; before a battle, the temple counts as a loser, as a lesser one. More counts as a winner, less counts as a loser, but if you don’t count, you are responsible for the fight, and I am responsible for the count.”

Gross waved his hand, "I'm not interested in this, I just want to know when will they attack at noon?"

"I can't say this." Mr. Jiang shook his head and said, "There are two reasons. First of all, this is just my preliminary judgment. I am tied here and cannot check your tactical deployment. Therefore, I cannot make a reasonable decision based on the actual situation. The second and most important reason is that I am representing Morningstar to conduct a third-party assessment of your actual confrontation. So I cannot help you, and I will not do anything that affects the trend of the war.”

"Do you want to court death?" Gross said coldly.

"Mr. Gross, maybe you are a rogue mercenary who doesn't respect the spirit of the contract. But I am an actuary who respects the contract." Mr. Jiang said with a slight smile, "Besides, by killing me, you offended the senior management of Morningstar. Morningstar is a world-class expert on military security issues, and has inextricably linked relationships with the militaries of various countries. Annoying them is much more serious than poking a hornet’s nest. So don’t threaten me, and I’m not threatened.”

Gross turned around silently, walked to the command room, and said to his subordinates, "From now on, let everyone be more vigilant. Find two more people and give me a good look at this Mr. Jiang. As long as he If there is any change, kill him immediately, this person is very dangerous."

"He's just a company accountant, and I can kill him with one finger." The Israeli mercenary said with disapproval.

Gross shook his head, "This person is not simple, and he is definitely not an ordinary security assessor. I suspect that he has another purpose, maybe it was sent by Michelle Silver Wolf to undercover. You know that Silver Wolf has a certain role in Morningstar. Influence. For his people to win, a spy might be placed in under the name of a military security assessor."

"It's just him, that guy who is literate is going to be an undercover agent? He's more or less a college assistant or a librarian. Silver Wolf wouldn't like this kind of person even if he was blind, right?" The big mercenary laughed a little.

"It's not the best, but we have to guard. As long as we keep an eye on him, he won't be able to turn the sky. After seventy-two hours, the confrontation will be over. Then he won't matter." Gross pondered. , "But what he said just now reminded me that the enemy does not have to attack at night. Now let everyone strengthen their vigilance. Key positions, add double posts. Don't leave a little chance for the opponent."

On the hillside not far from the military fortress, Lin Rui and others were observing the fortress' movement through binoculars. Qin Fen put down the binoculars and frowned slightly, "The situation is not very good. Gross seems to have a premonition that the fortress has been significantly strengthened, and mobile inspections have become more frequent. Xiaolin, are you sure, otherwise we will wait. ? It should be more beneficial to delay until the evening."

"No, they'll be more careful at night. Now they can be unexpected and caught off guard." Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's arrange the task. Qin Fen, Peng Lefeng, and Chen Nanqing are in charge of infiltrating. Tiger, you are in charge of coping with the outside. Are the tools ready?"

"It's ready. Wetsuits, small underwater gas cutting equipment." Qin Fen took out a camouflage bag, which contained a complete set of underwater gas cutting equipment. Lin Rui nodded, and several people quickly changed into their diving suits and arranged their weapons and equipment in silence. In order to prevent water from affecting the performance of the weapons, these weapons and equipment are put into airtight bags when they are diving. Take it out for use only after it comes out of the water.

After everything was ready, Lin Rui put on diving goggles and made a gesture to Ah Hu, who was staying behind. Then the four of them touched down the hillside and dived quietly in a hidden place. The water in the mountains is a little cold, and the water is a little turbid, and the visibility underwater is not very good.

It took Lin Rui and others some time to find the entrance to the sewer, and he turned around and made a gesture to Qin Fen. Qin Fen took out the gas cutting equipment. This cutting torch is specially made and can be ignited underwater using electronic ignition. Originally used for underwater operations such as cabin maintenance, it can easily cut through steel plates. The iron grid used to deal with the sewers, of course, is not a problem. They easily cut through the underwater grille and sneaked inward along the pipe smoothly.

A series of blisters slowly appeared on the cold water surface of the sewer. A man wearing diving goggles slowly showed his head, followed by another. The four members of the fifth team have successfully dived into the water channel below the military fortress. Lin Rui took off his diving goggles, looked around, took out the architectural drawings, and said in a low voice, "We're in, this is the sewage pipeline. The door in front should be the sewage pump room marked on the drawings. ."

Qin Fen also got up from the water, took off the diving goggles and respirator on his head, looked around and said, "I just want to know, where is the exit to the ground? The smell here is really bad."

"Do you expect any good smell in the sewers?" Peng Lefeng, another team member, said with a smile.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense." Lin Rui squatted down and said, "There are many exits to the ground, but it is difficult to avoid being discovered. Look here, and here are all within the fire control area of ​​​​the sniper tower. , as soon as it shows up, it will be discovered. So we have to find another way. I personally think this is the best place." He pointed to a location on the architectural plan.

"You're crazy, that position is only five meters away from the sniper tower." Qin Fen's expression changed drastically.

"I'm not crazy. The closer the distance, the less people on the tower will notice. Because the view on the tower is wide, he won't stare at his feet." Lin Rui smiled slyly.

Chen Nanqing nodded and said, "That's right, standing at a high place has a wide view, but there are also limitations and blind spots. This is the same as the traditional dark under the lights."

"But when we arrived at a place five meters away from the sniper tower, we couldn't advance, and we couldn't retreat. It's easy to be discovered if we move a little bit, but we can't squat there all the time, right?" Qin Fen said helplessly.

"Of course we can't wait like this. In fact, as long as we go out for three to five minutes, we have to withdraw back to the sewer." Lin Rui looked at them and said, "The reason why we went out there is to clear the sniper tower. Shooter, clear the way for our next move."

Qin Fen thought for a while and said, "I observed before I came here. There should be two people in this sniper spot. One is a sniper and the other is an observer. As long as they are eliminated, at least this area will be safe."

Lin Rui nodded and said, "For the sake of safety, Peng Lefeng and I secretly went up, and you are responsible for the cover. After clearing this sniper point, Peng Lefeng is responsible for taking over the sniper point. When other teams enter, provide them with remote assistance. And we have to go around to the next target before the patrol passes this area. Lefeng, remember to keep the wireless connection. You have a good view above and can guide us to avoid danger if necessary.”

Peng Lefeng nodded and said, "No problem."

After the discussion, Lin Rui walked in front and waved his hand slightly, signaling Peng Lefeng to follow. But when approaching the exit, he suddenly stopped and clenched a fist with one hand to signal to stop.

"What's wrong?" Peng Lefeng whispered.

"Something's not right." Lin Rui frowned.

Peng Lefeng looked around vigilantly, then raised his head to look above, lowered his voice and said, "It's nothing wrong, I didn't find anything unusual. The manhole cover for the sewer exit is on it. And Ah Hu is still outside the fortress. Observe on the hillside, and if there is anything unusual outside, he will notify us."

Lin Rui shook his head and whispered, "It's still not right."

"What's wrong?" Peng Lefeng frowned.

"Look at these metal stairs." Lin Rui said solemnly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This military fortress was built during the Cold War in the last century, and the sewers were too humid. So these metal steps are heavily corroded. But you see, the top iron steps are obviously less corroded than the bottom ones. "

"Then what happened?" Peng Lefeng asked inexplicably.

"Don't you understand? This means that someone has been here recently, but they didn't go down to the bottom, but only a few steps down. So the rust of the upper iron steps was stepped off, but the lower ones didn't. So It seems that the rust of the upper iron steps is better than that of the lower ones." Lin Rui frowned, "The key is why this person didn't come down. If it was Gross' mercenary team to check this sewer, they would have no reason not to come down. Unless …”

"Unless what?" Peng Lefeng asked in surprise.

Lin Rui suddenly remembered something, and immediately held down Peng Lefeng and pulled down the infrared monocular on his helmet. After careful observation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's very dangerous. Lefeng, we have just made a back and forth at the gate of hell. Look at the top of the well wall, what is more than one meter near the well cover?"

Peng Lefeng also turned on the infrared monocular. Under the display of this monocular with thermal imaging function, there is a clear heat source above the well wall near the well cover. Peng Lefeng's heart jumped wildly, and he said in surprise, "Induction bomb."

"That's right, it's a booby trap, and it's well hidden against the wall of the well. It uses an inductive trigger, so you must bring your own battery. However, the battery will heat up slightly during use, so it will be under thermal imaging. It shows the heat source. Gross's people have come here, but not to check the sewers, but to put a bomb on the wellhead. They also thought of any way to sneak in. " Lin Rui lowered his voice.
