Chapter Thirty-Three

  The enemy's cunning tricks should not be underestimated!

  We didn't see the shepherd anywhere at that time, but just as those sheep were moving to another patch of grass with moss roots, a person suddenly stood up from among those grayish-white sheep.

  It was only later that we realized that when herding sheep in the highlands, if you encountered icy rain, all the shepherd had to do was wrap himself in a layer of old sheepskin and burrow into the flock, and he would immediately feel as warm as if he were in a down quilt.

  At that time, we didn't care about military discipline anymore. After all, it only applies to living soldiers. If we all froze to death, what's the point of discipline?

  I quietly crept along the ditch and pounced just as the sheep stopped grazing, perked up their ears and listened to the surrounding movement.

  Without hesitation, I rushed towards the shepherd who was looking around in all directions. I still had a dagger in my hand and thought to myself that I would try not to kill him if possible, after all, he was just a shepherd, and it wouldn't make any difference even if I killed him.

  But you'd better not resist or run around, otherwise I'll have to use my blade and shed blood. Just let me knock you out and that's it!

  Before I could rush up, the shepherd's head suddenly exploded. Red and white splattered everywhere, almost spraying me in the face.

  Then, Gang Ming's brother rushed over on horseback, his face darkening as he flipped open the old sheepskin cloak of the shepherd, and with a swift motion, pulled out a short-barreled AK rifle and a walkie-talkie wrapped in several layers of insulating tape.

  I was stunned on the spot.

  These descendants really know how to make use of waste...

  The shepherd also brought an AK and a walkie-talkie to serve as a mobile sentry! If you want to learn the "everyone is a soldier" routine, then at least learn it thoroughly. At the very least, get something like a messaging app, that way you're learning the whole package...

  All the brothers killed and shrunk into the sheep flock to warm up and check the shepherd's mobile sentry. I also know that my vanguard is considered a waste, unexpectedly not even seeing the other side's mobile sentry, so I'll just wait honestly for Brother Qiangming to scold!

  Brother Kuangming didn't say much, just lightly told me that fighting isn't necessarily about having good tactical skills to be a good soldier. Sometimes being careful and observant, and grasping more knowledge can lead to victory in critical moments, at the very least it won't end in self-destruction.

  I nodded vigorously and said I understood, but actually I didn't understand at that time. It was only later that I came to understand.

  International convention seems to be that in certain disputed areas if there are residents who have lived there for many years they can legally occupy the land?

  So a certain country next to China has been organizing and planning to pour people into that disputed area, thinking that after fifty years, the place will become the territory of a certain country without any dispute.

  Those individuals who were stuffed into the disputed areas of a certain country would naturally not be good birds either, always carrying their guys and having some unclear and inexplicable collusion with their troops, specializing in bullying Chinese herdsmen on the edge of the disputed area.

  For a shepherd in such a sensitive area, what good bird can you hope him to be? If he doesn't wear the same pants as that country's army, it's simply impossible!

  So, building a strong military through knowledge and technology is still very important! In today's world, it's no longer possible to dominate the world just by relying on bravery and bloodlust! At the very least, taking a look at the international situation from time to time is necessary...

  That walkie-talkie seems to have a poor signal and keeps jumping frequencies for no reason. Anyway, Brother Kuang is very familiar with that dialect, but it's been over 20 minutes and he's still holding onto the walkie-talkie, straining his voice to communicate with them.

  The flock of sheep walked slowly, and we also walked slowly, gradually encircling the flock to drive them towards that base. Halfway through, Brother Kangming looked at the time and contacted another squad again, as a result, the old soldier brother on the other side was so fierce that he almost didn't let us catch our breath!

  We rushed into a flock of sheep to warm up, feeling pretty good, but they simply hijacked a logistics transportation truck heading to that base!

  Then, with a flourish, the car hood was opened and stopped by the side of the road. The old soldier brother with a big beard even brought down a box of cigarettes from the logistics truck and distributed them to the patrolmen on the road, and he himself lit a fire to heat up some canned food and ate until his mouth was full of oil!

  I just want to say that special operations are better off without adhering to traditional rules!

  In the past, in a movie, there was a surprise attack by the White Tiger Unit on the Korean battlefield. A small team looted a jeep and a can of cigarettes, and finally killed the leader of the White Tiger Unit. That had a bit of an artistic flavor to it, but isn't that already a typical example of not following the rules?

  Achieving the combat objective while ensuring one's own safety is the top priority in special operations! As for the tactics used, it's just a matter of killing pigs and cutting off butts, each with their own methods!

  Nothing to say, they have better luck and are bolder than us, we can only be envious and jealous, while also hoping that the sky will darken soon.

  Before it got dark, we ran into a flock of sheep and two shepherds again.

  Even if they were mixed in with the flock, we could still tell that these were sheep from China. They had blue or red marks painted on them, which Chinese shepherds use to distinguish their flocks from others.

  Two shepherds, one old and one young, each holding a wooden staff, with two sheepdogs running back and forth beside the flock, herding the strayed sheep back to the fold.

  Maybe the two shepherds saw our hidden sheep, and who knows what they said to each other, but the two shepherds drove the flock slowly towards a distant place.

  Kang Ming's brother saw it and whispered that they were Chinese herders, taking advantage of the time before the frost to hurry over and fatten up their sheep. Probably because they had suffered at the hands of these rascals before and didn't want any trouble, so they kept a safe distance away.

  It's better this way, otherwise when the time comes and they find out about us, it would be really hard to deal with.

  Before he could finish speaking, a cross-country vehicle suddenly appeared from the distant wilderness and rushed towards the shepherd who had just walked away.

  The brother who was the scout before sent a message that it was a patrol car dispatched by the base we were going to raid, with four people and a machine gun on board, guessing they hadn't discovered us.

  We quickly crouched down and kicked the sheep towards a not-too-deep ditch, and as soon as we reached the bottom of the ditch, we rushed to a suitable hiding position, with our guns locked onto the off-road vehicle, ready for battle.

  A few guys with silenced weapons took the lead, and others also prepared their cold weapons. Although we chose a relatively hidden location and our disguises were quite authentic, if something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be okay to not have any preparation!

  Kuang Ming Gege held up a telescope to look at the off-road vehicle and said, "Brothers, don't make any rash moves. If possible, let's avoid an exchange of fire. We can launch a surprise attack tonight, so as not to alarm them."

  I didn't have binoculars, but my prone position was a pretty good vantage point. I watched as the off-road vehicle sped over to the flock of sheep, and three people jumped out and rushed towards the two shepherds. Meanwhile, the guy left in the car pulled out a handgun and started firing at the sheep.

  Two shepherds were almost instantly knocked to the ground, while the three men who had jumped out of the car continued to beat them. Although they were quite far away, I could still clearly hear the three men shouting wildly and the two shepherds' mournful cries and the sheep's bleating seemed to pierce my eardrums like a needle.

  I also heard the sound of pulling the bolt.

  That guy Jiang Kuan has been carrying a sniper rifle on his back, and his eyes have been fixed on the scope for a long time. He must be able to see more clearly than I do.

  I looked at Jiang Kuan's forehead and saw that the blue veins were bulging, his cheek muscles were bulging, and he was clearly gritting his teeth!

  The scout's report has also arrived, saying that the target is completely locked in, just waiting for Brother Qiangming to give the order!

  Kill!

  I can almost see those four guys bursting and lying on the cold wilderness.

  Kuang Ming Gege put down the binoculars in his hand and made a gesture of prohibition towards Jiang Kuan.

  "Not now, wait till tonight!"

  I saw a piece of weathered rock crushed at the place where Brother Kangming was pressing.

  There was also a thread of bright red blood on top.

  Our brothers' eyes are also red with blood!

  As the sky darkened, Brother Kuangming stood up and said, "Brothers, get ready. We'll arrive at 10 pm tonight and start attacking. Try to sneak in quietly and blow up that base, and don't let anyone sneak out and shoot!"

  All the brothers nodded, but none of them spoke. The miserable look on that shepherd's face during the day, and the scene of the sheep being slaughtered were still etched in our minds!

  We owe those two shepherds!

  When we arrived at the designated attack position, we found a situation that had not been anticipated from the start.

  It's also unknown whether the base has become bolder after repeatedly succeeding in infiltrating personnel, and actually set up a large command center within the base. Communication antenna frames are everywhere, and a large area of land around it has been leveled, as if to expand the base's area by more than double?

  There's another troublesome thing.

  That base may have really come to some big shots, and the surrounding security has been strengthened a lot. At least six or seven high-power searchlights are sweeping around, illuminating those guys holding iron shovels and flattening the ground. Not to mention, even several construction machines that were refueling were also covered by the searchlights.

  Kuang Ming Gege carefully observed the base with a telescope and shook his head, saying quietly that it would be difficult to sneak in. Looking at this situation, these descendants should be working in shifts day and night without stopping construction, we need to think of another tactic!

  While Brother Kangming is thinking of a way, I took the binoculars to take a look around and found that there were only three or five people next to those refueling construction machinery, and the spotlight was not focused on that side. So I said to Brother Kangming, why don't we make use of those machines?

  Kuang Ming brother thought for a moment and said okay! However, we must act quickly. Let's calculate the intersection time of that searchlight!
