Girls und War

It seemed that the other party had noticed that someone was conducting a comprehensive search of them, and from a certain point in time, they became much more cautious in their actions.

Even when Xia Shu has something going on, he will get some confusing clues that they deliberately left behind.

It is still difficult to analyze the enemy's exact direction based on these clues.

Xia Shu even began to miss the days when military dogs assisted in missions.

That would make your task much easier.

Now Xia Shu felt like a guide dog, guiding the group of rushes from the Red Dragon Squadron to rush towards some unknown direction.

But having said that, even when facing military dogs, there are plenty of ways to shake off their pursuit.

It's common sense to eliminate your own scent by wading in water. Many irritating chemicals can directly damage a dog's olfactory nerves, thus eliminating its ability to track scents.

For reasons like these, the Imaginary Battlefield never raises animals to assist in combat.

There are too many countermeasures.

Tool man, is it not as useful as a dog?

However, Xia Shu can be sure that at this rate, she will only get closer and closer to her goal.

Interference clues can only delay time slightly, but cannot fundamentally eliminate the traces of their actions.

Yes, it's just a matter of time.

412. Finally bit the enemy's tail

Today, the sun shines brightly and the weather turns warmer.

The showers on the two rivers had lessened a little, and the rivers were not as turbulent as before.

This kind of weather also brought some convenience to Xia Shu.

Without the erosion of rain, the slight traces left in the wild will be much clearer.

At this time, even the girls of the Red Dragon Squadron could try to learn to distinguish the traces left on the muddy roads, whether they were left by animals or humans.

This is a high hillside three kilometers away from the river bank. Looking to the southeast, you can see the winding mountains derived from the Lang District.

The highest peak on the plateau was only five or six kilometers away. From here, one could see the snow on the top of the peak and the ever-expanding mountain range, which, like a natural barrier, separated the entire Langqu Plateau control area from the two rivers.

Most of the Flower District's armored forces were hidden in the shadows of those mountains.

Once they reached the top of the hill, the howling mountain wind would obscure most of their senses.

The smell of gunpowder could be faintly smelled in the air, as if the gunpowder dropped on the sea plateau a few days ago still remained in the valleys and had not dissipated.

The weather was good and visibility was very good.

Xia Shu tightened his collar, raised the telescope, and looked all the way to the river bank.

She is searching.

But we are not looking for traces of an unknown secret team.

Instead, they are looking for possible geographical areas that can serve as supply points.

The 470-kilometer-long riverbank wetland and the more than ten-kilometer-wide plain area made it easy to hide a few people.

Rather than searching for one or two perfectly hidden enemy combatants like looking for a needle in a haystack, it seems more important to find the reason why they have been able to move around for so long and still be so energetic under the nose of the flower district.

Otherwise, if one team is eliminated, the other side can send out two or three teams.

As long as their supplies are not cut off, harassment and reconnaissance can continue.

Until the Flower District and the Iron District started fighting.

Xia Shu looked for a while, then put down the telescope. Then he lowered his head and marked several key areas on the hand-drawn map.

Not only the east coast controlled by them, but also the west coast controlled by the Iron Zone.

This place is far away from the fork where the two rivers met, and has arrived in a desolate wilderness area.

There was no city, no ruins. The Iron District's defenses here were not as strong as one might imagine.

It is possible that the enemy could cross the river to the other side for supplies, and Xia Shu had to take these possibilities into consideration.

But when it comes to exploring possible supply locations, relying on your eyes alone is not enough.

It is best to visit those places in person and even touch them.

Otherwise, the entrances to certain caves or underground caves would easily be overlooked.

Sometimes, your eyes can deceive your senses. Even Xia Shu might fall for some visual traps designed into the terrain.

Trying to find a hole in the ground with your eyes from a distance of several kilometers is as ridiculous as choosing a wife based on a photo.

But then again, the air quality here is indeed very good. The maximum visibility can sometimes even exceed 50 kilometers.

What is this concept?

In general cities, due to air pollution caused by human activities and other reasons, there will be some suspended particles in the climate, which then form haze, sand haze and other conditions.

The visibility at this time may be only one or two kilometers.

If the environment is bad, it is not impossible for visibility to be counted in hundreds of meters.

In environments with better visibility, such as polar regions and mountainous areas, the visibility is generally over ten kilometers because there is no environmental pollution.

In areas with particularly good conditions, visibility can reach hundreds of kilometers, which is like standing on a mountaintop and being able to see the end of the mountain range at a glance.

For snipers, the farther the visibility, the better.

Of course, if the distance is too far, it is still difficult to identify the human body directly in the wilderness at a glance.

Especially when the other party is intentionally hiding.

The excellent visibility in the imaginary battlefield can actually be achieved outside.

Even most areas have this level of environment.

This is also thanks to modern humans' management of the environment, which has reached the point of returning to nature.

If we deliberately ignore the cities where humans live, the entire planet they live on can be said to be no different from the primitive planet.

Xia Shu was thinking about how to explore the suspected supply point on the other side of the river when he suddenly heard shouting on the wind.

"Xia Shu! Lieutenant Xiaobai said there are some new discoveries over there! Let you go over and take a look!" Qingxian shouted at her from the bottom of the hill.

"I understand!" Xia Shu replied and planned to go down the hillside.

A little further away, a friendly squadron was patrolling near the river bank.

Hearing the voices coming from their side, he quickly waved to them.

Xia Shu and the others also waved to each other.

After reaching the bottom of the hill, Xia Shu quickly reunited with Qingxian.

She was about to ask what was going on when she suddenly heard sporadic gunshots coming from not far away on the river bank.

Xia Shu was startled and looked at Qingxian.

Qingxian immediately turned on the intercom and tuned to the public channel.

"A suspected target has been detected in the East 15th River Section! Requesting support! Repeat! A suspected target has been detected in the East 15th River Section! Requesting support!"

Friendly communication sounds came from the channel.

Without saying a word, they ran towards the river.

The friendly troops not far away seemed to have received the communication and also ran in that direction.

East Fifteenth River Road wasn't too far from them, only about four or five kilometers away. But they didn't have a car, so it would take some time to get there.

There were sporadic gunshots along the way, and calls for support kept coming from the intercom. The firefight lasted for a long time, but when they arrived, the gunfire had stopped.

From a distance, I saw several teams gathered near the river bank, and other team members were also rushing towards this side.

In addition to the Red Dragon Squadron, gathered on the river bank were another Flower District Squadron responsible for the defense of this section of the river bank.

When Xia Shu ran over, they were standing on the shore, facing the river, as if looking for something.

The leader was Lieutenant Xiaobai.

Seeing Xia Shu running towards her, she immediately went to meet him.

Xia Shu, without even catching his breath, asked her hastily, "Where is the person?"

Xiaobai gestured towards the river and said, "He escaped by diving."

Xia Shu frowned, ran to the shore and looked at the center of the river.

The turbulent river rushed forward, carrying with it swirling yellow sand. Standing on the shore, one could not see what was happening in the water.

Xia Shu arrived faster than Qingxian and Junxincao. After a while, the others gradually gathered in the area.

413. So who is the enemy?

The first team to discover the situation was the team led by Lieutenant Xiaobai.

As they were searching along one side of the river bank, they suddenly discovered a human-shaped object floating on the water in the middle of the river one kilometer away from them.

And it seemed to be swimming towards the shore with a supply package.

Xiaobai did not alarm the other party, but hid on the shore and notified other squadron members.

When the figure in the river approached the river bank, another person was found on the shore.

But they were very alert and had already discovered Xiaobai when he called for support.

Then the two men dived directly into the river and swam downstream.

So Xiaobai shot at them.

At the same time, friendly troops from downstream also surrounded this side, and several teams fired a lot of bullets at the figures in the river.

Unfortunately, this encirclement and suppression did not achieve any results.

The other party had extensive diving experience and after sinking and floating several times, he quickly disappeared from their sight.

Then it disappeared in the rolling river.

After listening to the whole story, Xia Shu looked at the river and fell into deep thought.

As for Doragon, after chatting for a while with the squadron leader in charge of this area, they went together to report to the headquarters.

Qingxian also looked at the river for a while, but couldn't see anything.

Then he walked over to Xia Shu and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Xia Shu signaled her to stop making noise, and it seemed that he had thought of something.

Seeing this, Qingxian stopped disturbing her and let her think on her own.

Others who wanted to come over and talk to Xia Shu were also driven away by Qingxian.

After waiting for a long time, Xia Shu suddenly said, "I thought of it."

"What?" Qingxian asked subconsciously.

"Why do you think they came from the river?" Xia Shu turned his head to look at Qingxian.

Qingxian thought for a moment and replied, "The supply point might be on the other side. Are they delivering supplies to the teammates here?"

"Is this really necessary? Taking such a huge risk just to deliver a supply?" Xia Shu asked, tilting his head. "And it has to be delivered during the day? Wouldn't it be safer at night?"

Qingxian frowned and started thinking.

"Since they chose to risk crossing the river during the day, there must be a reason why they had to cross the river." Xia Shu said very confidently.

Then, he smiled and said, "Or maybe they are not necessarily crossing the river..."

"What do you mean?"

"Lieutenant White Gloves saw them coming ashore. Was it really because they were crossing the river? After much thought, I don't think they need to take such a big risk and choose to appear in front of us in the daytime. Unless..."

Xia Shu said this, looking towards the center of the river with a half-smile on his face.
