Girls und War

After retreating to the second line of defense, the Red Dragon Squadron quickly set up a secondary defense.

In addition to moving several wounded soldiers to the rear, other defensive measures were also arranged, which will be mentioned later.

Unfortunately, the anti-tank mines they carried had been used up, making it difficult to block the mountain road again this time.

However, with armed helicopters, it would be more effective to deal with tanks.

Seeing that time was passing by and the support troops had not arrived yet, Doragon quickly contacted the command center again.

"How long do we have to defend?" Doragon yelled at the radio, then widened his eyes in disbelief. "What? Two hours? You want to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, the other girls around her immediately looked over.

Doragon listened for a while with gritted teeth, and said, "I'll try my best!"

Having said that, he hung up the radio angrily.

"Defend well! Hold on here!" Doragon shouted orders into the channel.

There was a moment of silence in the channel, and everyone seemed to be pessimistic about the subsequent defense.

"Natsuki! Natsuki, how are you doing?" Doragon called out to his most reliable classmate Natsuki again.

Xia Shu used a telescope to observe the armored formation at the entrance to the mountain pass. He replied, "I saw their convoy coming out of the entrance. They will reach the second defense point in about ten minutes."

"Be careful! Don't get caught in the fire!"

"clear."

Xia Shu turned his head and looked around the road in the valley, then said to Junco, "Keep an eye on those places. If anything happens, tell me. Our safe retreat depends on you."

Rush nodded seriously.

At this time, the roar of jet engines came from the sky, and the Air Force fleet support arrived again.

Doragon quickly communicated with the air commander about his needs.

At the request of the Red Dragon Squadron, fighter jets carried out a precise guided bombing against the tank troops at the mountain pass.

Several tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed at the corner of the mountain road.

The attack route in the snow area was blocked again.

It looks like it will take them more than ten minutes to clean up, so we can delay it for a while.

But a two-hour block is, honestly, almost impossible.

How to defend?

Doragon's brow furrowed deeply.

After about fifteen or sixteen minutes, the road in the valley was cleared.

The damaged tanks were pushed to the side of the road, the road was cleared by engineering vehicles, and traffic was once again unobstructed.

The vehicles behind followed closely in front, and the snow area headed towards the mountain road again.

The convoy drove past Xia Shu, but she did not shoot.

Instead, he was observing the infantry following the convoy, not knowing what they were looking for.

The advance convoy in the snowy area quickly approached the second line of defense, and despite the firepower of armed helicopters, deployed a tank attack formation at the entrance of the mountain road.

However, their attack did not achieve the desired effect, because the tank troops in the Flower District had arrived as early as when the first line of defense was engaged in a firefight.

After the time gained by the Red Dragon Squadron, the tank company had already established defensive positions at various locations on the mountain road.

A dozen tanks were deployed in different places, pointing to an exit of the valley, completing the fire coverage.

The attack in the snow area was immediately disintegrated.

They had to retreat a little.

Xia Shu saw the enemy armored forces piled up in the middle of the mountain road. He didn't know whether they wanted to launch a multi-stage charge as a group or to attack in one wave.

But after searching for a long time, she finally found the enemy's armored vehicle, which was suspected to be a command vehicle.

There were no markings on the car, and the other soldiers did not make any special moves in this direction.

But Xia Shu made his own judgment based on the location and distance.

This is a very metaphysical judgment and has no basis.

However, veterans who have been on the battlefield for many years always have one or two very mysterious self-awareness.

Perhaps by analyzing it from the perspective of human collective will and sixth sense, we can get some kind of explanatory answer.

As for the consequences of this armored vehicle, which is suspected to be a command vehicle, there is no need to say much.

When the next air support arrived, Xia Shu made a special trip to inform the air guidance department of the vehicle's location.

Several anti-tank missiles targeted the armored vehicles, and the surrounding infantry troops fell into a brief panic and chaos.

It seems that there is indeed something in this car.

Xia Shu did not linger in the fight. After successfully guiding the enemy, he quickly took the rush and prepared to evacuate.

But Juncus suddenly pulled Xia Shu, stopping her from getting up.

Xia Shu looked towards the rushes. She pointed to the high peaks in the northeast and said, "There seems to be someone over there. I just saw some movement."

After saying that, an uncertain expression appeared on his face.

425. Snow Wolf

Rush rarely showed such uncertainty.

In her short life of seeing the light, she had never felt unsure about what she saw.

To her, everything she sees is information.

There is nothing insignificant that can be ignored.

Like a hair on the carpet, or an eye in the bushes.

Information that is commonplace and easily overlooked by ordinary people is very new to her.

Because we haven’t learned to get used to it, we haven’t formed inertial thinking.

So when Juncus sees a suspected moving target, it can always discover it at the first time.

It’s just that if you look at it for a long time, your eyes will be much more tired than ordinary people.

"What did you see?" Xia Shu asked immediately after hearing what Juncao said.

"I'm not sure... There seems to be an enemy over there, but it seems a bit like it's blown by the wind..." Rush pointed to a mountain forest in the distance, surrounded by trees.

It is hard to say whether such movement in the forest is man-made.

But Xia Shu was very satisfied that Rush was able to discover some of the situations here in the first place.

Ordinary people on the front line filled with smoke and gunfire can't even calm down and observe the enemy, let alone look for things in the endless mountains and wilderness.

As for whether there were enemy troops there, Juncao had no experience and it was difficult to judge, but it was different for Xia Shu.

Sometimes, you don’t even need to look for the boss on this kind of battlefield. You can make a rough judgment just by taking a quick glance at the terrain.

Just like professional players can judge the position of the opponent's jungler in a few seconds, Xiaotou is not really that clear.

Xia Shu told Juncus to stay still and looked at the area she pointed out with a telescope.

Judging from the terrain, there might be an enemy flanking team over there.

So she simply assumed that there were people in that direction and pointed the sniper rifle in that direction.

Seeing that the fighting in the mountain road was getting more and more intense, the snow district gradually took complete control of the valley, and Xia Shu had no intention of retreating.

Rush couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Xia Shu, when are we going to retreat?"

Without looking up from his sniper scope, Natsuki simply replied, "Not yet."

"Is it impossible to leave now?" Junco asked hesitantly, biting his lip. "Do you want me to help you draw fire while you retreat directly?"

Xia Shu laughed.

"Are you so self-sacrificing?" she teased Juncus.

"You...you are more important than me...Qingxian told me before..." Rush said in a low voice with his head down.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem now." Xia Shu's tone revealed a certain confidence, like every ace sniper.

It seemed that in their eyes, going in and out of the enemy's rear was not a difficult task at all.

After the suspected command vehicle in the snow area was blown up, their attack paused for a while.

Then they regrouped and launched another attack on the mountain pass.

This time their command suddenly became fierce, which was completely different from the previous command style.

The Red Dragon Squadron was caught off guard and the front line was pushed forward a little.

But the tanks and armed helicopters reacted quickly. Although the rapidly advancing enemy tanks replaced several tanks on their side, they were still stuck at the entrance of the mountain road.

And because of this reckless advance, the tank wreckage also blocked their attack route.

This time the attack width in the snow area is even worse than before.

It seems that the situation is in favor of the Red Dragon Squadron.

As long as they keep their eyes on the enemy's engineering vehicles clearing the battlefield path, the enemy will be dragged here.

Then the two-hour defense mission does not seem impossible to accomplish.

Xia Shu listened to Doragon's commands on the communication channel and had a rough idea in his mind.

But she just lay there and did nothing.

It seemed to have become a relief at the edge of the battlefield.

Just as Junco was becoming increasingly confused about the situation, Xia Shu finally said, "Here I come."

In the direction they had been staring at for a long time, a snow zone team crossed over to the mountain top trail very cautiously.

Their route did not get close to Xia Shu. It seemed that they were going to go over the top of the mountain range and attack the Red Dragon Squadron from the rear to relieve the pressure of the frontal attack.

Ruscoe estimated the distance and found that the team was less than a thousand meters away from them, so she asked Xia Shu, "Should we attack?"

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on the gun handle.

Xia Shu watched the team carefully surveying their surroundings and whispered, "They're watching out for me."

The situation seemed to be exactly the same as that of the previous defense point. The snow area team attacked the rear of the flower area, and then was forcibly cut off by the sniper.

But after the last sniper attack, will they still come out and give themselves up so easily?

Xia Shu is not a fool, and he will not treat the other party as a fool.

Then there is only one explanation.

They have someone behind them to protect them.

Xia Shu used the scope to scan the grass and bushes behind the team.

At the same time, behind a bush on the opposite side, there was also a person who was carefully observing every corner of the cliff.

The two snipers did not notice each other, but they both looked for each other's shadows in tacit understanding.

A kind of suppressed tension appears in the unknown space.

"Rush, don't move, understand?" Xia Shu whispered.

Rush responded and became more obedient.

Although Xia Shu didn't know who the other party was at this time, he had already put this sniper who had never appeared - and even didn't know if he existed - in the same position as little Jack.

As for the other party, he understood from the beginning what level of opponent Xia Shu was.

[Snow Wolf] Anna, the ace sniper ranked first in the snow zone and fourth in the world.

As the most advanced sniper in the imaginary battlefield nearing the top of the rankings, she is only a step away from the number one ranked Death God Simon.

Putting aside the deterrent effect of their performance and the ranking bonus brought by their reputation, perhaps the strength of the top few people on the list are comparable.

But no matter what, she is a whole level higher than Smiley Face.
