Girls und War

There is a small buckle on the helmet of the frontline soldiers, which can be used to fix some small equipment.

For example, tactical cameras, miniature flashlights, and night vision goggles.

This infrared telescope can also be fixed on it.

It’s not that Doragon doesn’t want to apply for more advanced night vision equipment for them, such as full-color night vision goggles.

But resources are very tight on the mountain front now.

It is already the limit for each frontline soldier to have an infrared telescope.

The two of them could only mount the telescope on their helmets, adjust it to wide-angle mode, and observe the surrounding environment through the telescope.

Everything in front of me was green, and the field of vision was so narrow that it was difficult to notice where I was walking.

But this is not bad, it is much better than walking forward in the dark.

The two men walked slowly along the mountain range from the edge of the jungle, with no intention of going further.

Their purpose was only to explore the possible camps of the other side, not to find the enemy.

So just watch from the edges.

Xia Shu walked for a while and then found a tree to climb up, switching to thermal sensing mode to search for human figures.

But along the way, no valuable information was found.

The two men walked around the jungle for several hours and had completely walked the north side of the mountains, but still found no valuable information.

So they went a little deeper and found a tall tree to climb before daybreak.

When dawn came, the sky turned red, and Xia Shu observed the jungle from the top of a tree in the sunlight.

The jungle was quiet and deserted.

Natsuki gestured to Onigiri, asking about her findings.

Fantuan shook his head, indicating that he saw nothing.

The two of them calmed down and continued to observe from the tree.

It wasn't until the sun rose that Doragon sent them a message asking for directions.

"The sniper team is now inside the jungle and has found nothing."

Rice Ball replied to Dragon in an imperceptible voice.

Natsuki frowned and checked the time.

Then he slid down from the tree.

There's still no smoke at this hour, so there's probably no one here.

Morning was the easiest time to find traces of the enemy, so they would get up, light a fire, change guards, and go out on patrol.

Unless the Sakura District Company is in its own occupied area, they will still be cautious for fear of being discovered.

But Xia Shu felt that this possibility was unlikely.

Logically, the Sakura District Company should be like what Xia Shu and her team's company is like normally.

Moreover, she and Fantuan had been hanging around the outskirts of the jungle, so there was absolutely no way they would be discovered by the opposing sentries.

So the company in Sakura District is definitely not in the jungle.

I'm afraid it was a wasted trip.

Onigiri also slid down from the tree and exchanged glances with Natsuki.

The two walked towards the depths of the jungle.

It was already daybreak by this time. They took off their night vision goggles and walked faster into the depths of the jungle.

We walked deep into the jungle and didn't find any enemies inside.

But Xia Shu still made a discovery.

She saw some remaining traces of the camp in a clearing.

There were nails in the trees, holes in the ground, and the leaves could smell of campfire smoke.

"I think they broke camp. It happened yesterday or the day before yesterday." Xia Shu turned to Fantuan and said.

Fantuan nodded and immediately opened the communication to tell Doragon about it.

Doragon thought for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​keeping all the people close to the jungle.

Since they are not in the jungle, there is no need to gather now.

Doragon asked them to disperse and continue scouting along the route.

Natsuki and Fantuan stayed at the remaining traces of the camp for a while longer and gathered some more information.

I roughly estimated the size of their company.

"Six tents... here are the beds... one, two, three, four... fifty people?" Xia Shu guessed a rough number and confirmed it with Fantuan.

Fantuan pondered for a moment and said, "According to previous information, the Sunny Dolls Squadron should have forty-six members. But they lost four members in the past two days. If this is the Sunny Dolls' camp..."

"Then they transferred four to eight people over," Xia Shu added.

After confirming these details, Fantuan reported the known information to Dragon.

Then, the two took out the map and continued to study it.

The camping location on the front line may change at any time, within a dozen kilometers.

The area is too large, with too many possibilities. Several mountain ranges span hundreds of square kilometers. It is a pipe dream to think that only two people can search all these places.

They could only guess each other's next camping location based on the existing camps.

The battles between frontline companies involve a search process in which the camps are constantly changing and infiltrating each other.

Just like the footprints the two had discovered before, there was always something that would reveal their clues.

If the Sakura District had not been transferred, today would have been a fierce battle.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Xia Shu and the others will be exposed to the enemy's field of vision and be eliminated by the enemy first.

Many times, fighting a war depends on luck.

All you can do is to train harder and more diligently to take control of all conditions other than luck.

Xia Shu and the others drew a few areas and roughly guessed where the Sunny Doll Squadron would set up camp next.

Then we chose a closer area as the next exploration destination.

The two took out the rations from their backpacks and ate a little.

After eating, they headed towards the next area along the new reconnaissance route.

Just then, the communication in the headset rang.

"All units, I have discovered the enemy at the foot of the mountain in the sixth exploration area!" A girl's voice came from the headset.

Doragon's voice soon rang out, "Report the detailed location!"

Xia Shu and Fantuan looked at each other, quickly took out the map, and placed it on the ground to compare.

The one who discovered the enemy was Second Lieutenant Tingchao, the Red Dragon Squadron's armorer, and Mingming, the recorder who was assigned to the same team.

While they were scouting near the foot of the mountain, they saw two figures walking in the distance at the foot of the mountain following the sunlight.

The two figures should be scouts sent by the enemy. Their appearance there at this time means that the enemy’s camp may be not far away.

In order to avoid being exposed, Tingchao immediately hid in the bushes and did not conduct much reconnaissance.

The other party quickly entered the woods in the mountain stream and disappeared.

Doragon immediately ordered all personnel to gather in that area and report their location at any time.

Tingchao continued to investigate on the spot.

Xia Shu and Fantuan on this side immediately drew a new marching route on the map after determining the location.

The route is close to the top of the mountain, ensuring that Xia Shu can find the sniper position there as soon as possible.

Then, they put away the map and ran towards the area where the enemy appeared.

All the reconnaissance teams of the Red Dragon Squadron slowly gathered together.

192. Hide and seek is really fun

Xia Shu and Fantuan climbed halfway up the mountain and slowly walked forward along the shadow of the mountain.

After all, the mountainside is different from the forest, and it is easy to be exposed when moving.

However, judging by the other party's position, no one will see the shadow on the back of the mountain for the time being.

Seeing that they were almost there, the two of them climbed over the hillside and came to the sunny side.

The jungle one or two kilometers below was where Lieutenant Tingchao saw the enemy.

Rice Ball quickly reported his location to Doragon.

The two of them lay quietly on the top of the mountain, observing the situation below with binoculars.

Xia Shu soon saw two figures heading towards this side in the distant mountain stream.

It was too far away to see their appearance clearly, but judging by their route, they should be friendly troops coming from our occupied territory.

Xia Shu called over the comms, "I saw two people from the mountain reaching the gap in the valley. Are they friendly forces?"

After dialing out the call, Xia Shu vaguely saw the person in front of him pause, and a response came from the headset.

"Leaf and Hamster are here. We're at the edge of the valley. Who's that person on the mountain?"

"Sniper team, this is Natsuki."

"Alright sniper team, we're heading to the target location. Could you tell me your location?"

"Your eleven o'clock direction, on the second peak."

Ye Zi raised his head from the bottom of the mountain and looked towards the peak, but found nothing.

Fantuan then said, "Leaf, keep to the right and go through the shadow of the ridge. Be careful not to be exposed."

"Ok."

The two received the message and quickly hid in the shadows, making it difficult for Xia Shu and the others to find them from the mountain.

Two hours later, most of the Red Dragon Squadron had gathered near the jungle at the foot of the mountain.

Doragon had them hide in the woods, and Xia Shu only found one or two of them, but didn't know the exact location of each person.

"Sniper team, have you seen any enemy personnel?" Doragon asked Xia Shu and the others.

"No." Rice ball replied.

At this time, Doragon and Tingchao had a conversation, and Tingchao told Xia Shu the location of the enemy.

Then Doragon asked each group to move forward.

"The sniper team will provide cover from above," she said to Xia Shu again.

"Got it." Xia Shu replied.

The jungles in arid areas are not surrounded by trees like the tropical forests. In fact, the trees in the jungle are far apart.

The progress of the team below was easily exposed to Xia Shu's eyes.

She held out her sniper rifle and used the scope to observe the road ahead of the squadron.

Fantuan was holding a telescope, looking at the mountains in the distance, helping Xia Shu search for enemy snipers.

The squadron below quickly advanced several hundred meters and reached the designated position.

They held various strategic points without encountering any enemy.

Doragon said to Xia Shu, "Sniper team, we will cover you. You go to the top of the mountain ahead and observe the mountain path ahead."

Xia Shu received the order and got up from the ground with Fantuan and walked forward along the road on the mountainside.
