Chapter 17: Trap
According to the high-definition satellite image sent by Seth, the layout of the entire base can be clearly seen. This is an irregular base built on the mountain. The buildings inside are a combination of ancient and modern styles. It should be a territory built by a noble a long time ago, and then rebuilt by the military.
The base is equipped with a variety of modern weapon systems, and five anti-aircraft turrets are built in four directions based on the central point as the main air defense force of the base. In addition, there is a steel-cast gate on the east side of the base for entry and exit.
Because the mountain is so steep, even if you climb up, there is still a vertical distance of nearly 300 meters to the base below, so there are no fortifications built on the top of the mountain. In fact, there is no need to build fortifications for such a terrain. As long as there are sentries outside the base, it will be difficult for birds to enter. It is a typical iron barrel terrain.
Zhao Ziyang and Angel climbed up to the top of the west side of the base and used climbing ropes to secure themselves to the top of the mountain. They hid their bodies with the help of a protruding rock in the cold wind and carefully observed the base below.
The base looked messy and spacious at the same time. Some supplies were clearly seen piled up on the north side of the base. Apart from that, there were only a few scattered soldiers standing at their posts, holding their guns and stamping their feet to resist the cold inside the base.
Most of Fogel Island is relatively mild, but the base is located at the highest point on the island, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow that never melts all year round.
"Something is not right." Zhao Ziyang, who was wearing a cold-proof mask, said to Angel softly, "There is a lack of people in the base. It seems that the Norwegian army has left the base."
Angel nodded, tightened her snow camouflage suit, and aimed her sniper rifle at the Norwegian soldiers on the anti-aircraft turret below. Then she slowly searched for targets one by one, and finally stopped at the pile of supplies on the north side of the base.
"You're right. The Norwegian army has already set out from the northern coastal port." Angel said to Zhao Ziyang with narrowed eyes, trying hard to control the white mist coming out of her mouth.
She did not choose to wear a cold-proof mask, which would cause her to feel sleepy due to the warmth on her face in the cold place and affect her judgment.
"Retreat!" Zhao Ziyang said to Angel while staring at the empty base.
Hearing this, Angel glared at Zhao Ziyang fiercely, and was extremely dissatisfied with what Zhao Ziyang said.
"Listen, we have to retreat now. This could be a trap." Zhao Ziyang said to Angel , "The radio has been turned off, and we can't contact the leader down the mountain. We need to discuss with the leader before taking any action."
"Shoot!" Angel coldly spat out two words at Zhao Ziyang and locked onto a Norwegian soldier at the anti-aircraft turret below.
With a "pop", Zhao Ziyang grabbed Angel's gun barrel and whispered to him anxiously: "Angel, don't shoot. Even if you shoot and kill a few Norwegian soldiers, it won't be of much use. Instead, it will arouse Norway's anger."
Zhao Ziyang stopped Angel from shooting because his instinct told him that there was a trap set for them. The Norwegian soldiers had already left the base, and simply sniping a few soldiers would not meet the mission requirements and would only cause a greater backlash.
"Special Forces!" Angel's tone became colder as Zhao Ziyang grabbed her gun barrel. She grabbed Zhao Ziyang's wrist and stared at him, saying, "What you have to do now is to obey. Your mission is to film and measure the altitude, wind direction, temperature and humidity, ruler, trajectory, and elevation angle!"
Their mission this time was very detailed. When they reached the fifteen nautical miles of Fogel Island by boat, they chose frogmen to approach the east coast to get rid of the radar detection of the base. Then one team member set up a satellite receiver to obtain a high-definition picture of the base, and one team member was responsible for covering and arranging the retreat. After reaching the destination, they cut off the radio to prevent being captured by the base and entered a communication-lost operation. Black Hawk led Pandora, Flashpoint, and Scythe to set up the howitzer, Blade was on alert, Omo provided heavy firepower cover, and Angel and Zhao Ziyang climbed to the top of the mountain to snipe and instruct the howitzer to fire.
When Angel used sniping to lure out a large number of Norwegian soldiers, he instantly connected the radio and instructed the Black Hawk at the foot of the mountain to fire grenades into the base, capturing the casualties of a large number of soldiers and achieving the mission objective.
But now the situation has subtly changed. A sense of danger has enveloped Zhao Ziyang tightly, forcing him to organize Angel's sniper operation as planned without hesitation.
But Angel didn't think so. Although she noticed something was wrong, she could still complete the mission if she continued according to the action plan. They didn't want a complete victory, they just needed to collect the Norwegian soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties from the artillery attack.
The plan will not change, the German angel has the formulaic stubbornness that is unique to his country.
"Angel..." Zhao Ziyang still wanted to persuade Angel.
"Obey!" Angel growled, a light white mist coming out of her nostrils.
"Yes!" Zhao Ziyang obeyed the order helplessly and took out a Type 95 assault rifle from his back to prevent possible accidents.
"Bang!" A tongue of fire spurted out from the PM sniper rifle in Angel's hand, and the sniper bullet accurately penetrated the chest of the soldier in the anti-aircraft artillery position below.
The Norwegian soldier who was sniped fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood from the wound instantly dyed the thick military coat dark red.
Upon hearing the gunshots, the Norwegian soldiers immediately operated the remaining four anti-aircraft guns, looking for the sniper's position and shooting the suddenly appearing enemy.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Angel shot and killed four anti-aircraft gunners with four consecutive shots at lightning speed, and gently exhaled the breath he was holding.
Continuous precision sniping took a lot of Angel's energy and strength. Her brain was working at high speed at the moment of sniping. Not only did she have to calculate the wind direction and temperature, but she also had to correct the trajectory deviation caused by the cold.
In this mission, Zhao Ziyang was not her deputy sniper, so all the sniper data had to be completed by her alone.
"Shut up!" Zhao Ziyang suddenly yelled at Angel and kicked her hard in the abdomen.
Angel, who was suddenly attacked by Zhao Ziyang, had no chance to react at all. She was kicked by Zhao Ziyang and hung at the bottom of the mountain, hooked by the safety rope. When the wind blew, her body swayed on the cliff, giving people the feeling that she would fall at any time.
With a "puff" sound, snowflakes flew everywhere, and a sniper bullet flew past the place where Angel had just been lying: there is a sniper in the base!
An extremely dangerous sixth sense kept conveying this information to Zhao Ziyang. When he saw the white mist coming out of Angel's mouth, he immediately chose to kick Angel aside to avoid being shot by the sniper in the base.
This was a sniper with extremely rich battlefield experience. He determined Angel's sniping point through the gas exhaled by Angel, and then delivered a fatal blow.
“Idiot!” Angel, whose body was hanging on the cliff, grabbed the rock with one hand and roared angrily at Zhao Ziyang: “You self-righteous idiot, that’s my prey!”
Zhao Ziyang was stunned, then he immediately came to his senses, realizing that he was really self-righteous. How could a super long-range sniper like Angel make such a low-level mistake? The gas you exhale in the snow is the most deadly. The temperature difference causes the gas to appear as white mist. Any veteran knows this common sense.
Angel would not make such a mistake, otherwise she would have died on the battlefield. She deliberately created the white mist by exhaling her breath, in order to attract the snipers from the base and then kill them first. Otherwise, the snipers left in the base would sooner or later become a scourge, which was also the primary target of the snipers on both sides in the battle.
However, Angel's primary goal was destroyed by Zhao Ziyang, which made Angel furious.
But we can't blame Zhao Ziyang. He lacks coordination with any of his teammates. If he were to change a teammate, this problem would not occur.
"Kang!" Another sniper bullet hit and created a hole in the rock where Zhao Ziyang was hiding.
Strategically located in the north, in a room on the second floor with a single window, seven hundred and fifty meters away!
As the sniper fired the second shot, Zhao Ziyang immediately determined the sniper's hiding point from the bullet's trajectory. However, he was unable to lock on the sniper because the sniper's hiding point had windows on all four sides, and the other three windows were all sniper blind spots.
Zhao Ziyang, lurking behind the rock, did not dare to act rashly. He could only wait silently for the sniper to appear again.
But the sniper never appeared again, the entire base became silent, and the Norwegian soldiers who had been patrolling previously also disappeared.
At this time, Angel had climbed to the top of the mountain again, but the moment she reached the top, she saw Zhao Ziyang with a serious face slowly retreating, and was about to retreat down the mountain.
"Angel, we must retreat!" Zhao Ziyang said to Angel in a deep voice.
Seeing Zhao Ziyang's expression, Angel's heart trembled, and she immediately retreated from the top of the mountain. She didn't hear any movement in the base, and the lack of movement meant that this was really as Zhao Ziyang's sixth sense predicted: a trap!
The two men used ropes to quickly retreat down the mountain and joined up with the Black Hawks who had set up the howitzers.
Seeing Angel and Zhao Ziyang retreating, Black Hawk immediately realized that something went wrong with the mission.
"Retreat!" Black Hawk gave the order without hesitation.
The group abandoned the howitzer and quickly retreated in the direction they came from. While retreating, they turned on the radio and tried to contact Swart.
It’s just that the agreed thirty minutes have not yet arrived, there are still three minutes left.
"The Norwegian army has set off secretly , and an unknown force is stationed at the base. This is a trap." Zhao Ziyang briefly reported the base situation to Black Hawk on the way of retreat.
"Meet up with Swart and evacuate at full speed!" Black Hawk frowned and looked towards the east coast line blocked by the jungle.
"Bang... Bang... Bang..." A rhythmic burst of gunfire came from the direction of Swart and Mandala on the east coast line, making all the lurkers' faces change color.
At the same time, a huge buzzing sound of a helicopter was heard from behind, and a European Tiger attack helicopter took off from the base and flew towards them ferociously.
The lurkers were trapped in an encirclement , a trap set specifically for them!
