Chapter 42 Infiltration
"Boss, you're right." Lu Ye lowered his voice and reported to his supervisor in the team's encrypted channel.
"In addition to the observation post on the water tower, there are indeed two more fixed sentry posts behind the entrance to the swamp subway wire mesh."
"Two people per group, standing in a staggered formation, blocking the entrance. If we try to sneak in directly, we'll just walk right into their crossfire."
"Lu, are you confident that you can take out the observation post on the water tower and those two fixed sentry posts within three seconds of engaging the enemy?"
Lu Ye stared at the scope, his brain rapidly calculating the trajectory and distance of the bullet.
"The water tower is 15 meters high and 800 meters away from me; the first group of fixed sentry posts is 700 meters away from me; the second group is 750 meters away."
"In three seconds, I can take out the target on the water tower and the sentry post against the wall in the distance."
Lu Ye's tone remained unchanged: "The group closest to the barbed wire is too close, and the angle is obscured by bushes. I'm not entirely confident, so I need your cooperation."
Yuri was silent for a moment, then decisively ordered: "The plan remains the same, the route remains the same, we will still cut in along the western swamp."
"Lu, wait for my signal. You're in charge of clearing the water tower and the distant sentry posts. I'll handle the remaining group of nearby sentry posts."
"receive."
……
10 PM.
Roman and Artyom have returned to the team.
"Mission accomplished," Roman reported, panting. "The remote-controlled detonation arrays have been deployed around Highway M-30!"
"Well done. Get some rest. 2 AM sharp, move out!" Yuri glanced at his tactical watch.
Time passed by, and nothing unexpected happened.
One o'clock in the morning.
Lu Ye, who was lying on the highest point, felt a damp coolness coming from his mask.
A layer of white mist rose unexpectedly from the swamp.
Temperatures plummeted, and thick fog spread rapidly along the low-lying areas.
In less than half an hour, the entire western flank of Kalinovka was completely shrouded in thick fog.
"Boss, it's fogging up," Lu Ye whispered in the channel.
"Lu! Your first target is the watchtower outpost. The second group of stationary outposts will be handled by Artyom!"
"I'm fine, boss!" Lu Ye replied.
"Alright, Artyom as a backup plan!" Yuri was also a little surprised by Riku's confidence.
The dense fog was a double-edged sword for them; it could perfectly conceal the squad's movements, but it would also greatly reduce their own visibility.
For snipers in particular, this fog is often a deadly obstacle.
Lu Ye was confident because the system's [Precision Shooting] skill locked his static shooting accuracy at 100%.
Combined with the SVCh rifle in his hand, which is equipped with a military-grade thermal imaging and low-light dual-mode tandem sight, as long as the target emits heat, the dense fog is no match for him.
That's why Lu Ye has the confidence to say this!
It was exactly 2:00 AM.
"Time's up." Yuri gently pulled down the night vision goggle mount on his helmet. "Attention everyone, operation begins! Activate your dual-mode fusion night vision goggles and maintain absolute silence!"
"receive."
Lu Ye lay prone on the hill slightly higher than the ground to the west, the butt of his rifle against his shoulder, the crosshairs locked onto the heat source at the top of the water tower, ready to provide cover at any time.
At the edge of the swamp in front of him, five dark figures slowly stood up.
Yuri and Artyom, acting as the vanguard, were the first to step into the swamp, one after the other.
The two men stood in a single file formation, maintaining a distance of three meters, with their assault rifles, equipped with silencers, held horizontally in front of their chests.
Ruslan and Eugene followed closely behind, while Roman brought up the rear.
The mud was up to their ankles, and each step required tremendous effort, yet the five moved with surprising lightness and made no sound.
……
There are only 30 meters left to get to the barbed wire fence.
Through the scope, Lu Ye keenly sensed something amiss.
The group of sentries who were originally stationed at the entrance of the barbed wire fence suddenly left their positions and began to move towards the swamp!
"Boss, stop!" Lu Ye's voice suddenly rang out in the communication channel. "There's a two-man fixed sentry post moving towards you thirty meters ahead!"
Yuri, who was walking at the front, froze instantly. He raised his left hand sharply and clenched his fist tightly.
The moment the team members behind him saw the gesture, they instantly stopped what they were doing.
Yuri crouched in the knee-deep reeds and gave his second tactical signal.
He pointed to his eyes with his index and middle fingers, then pointed to the thick fog ahead, and then quickly made a horizontal slicing motion in front of his neck with his right hand.
Artyom, who was behind him, immediately understood, picked up his AK-105 short assault rifle, rested the butt on his shoulder, and stared intently into the depths of the thick fog.
A few seconds later, a blinding beam of flashlight pierced through the thick fog, scanning back and forth across the water's surface.
The silhouettes of two Ukrainian soldiers gradually became clearer in the fog.
The soldier on the left was carrying an AK-74 on his back and holding a flashlight in his right hand; the soldier on the right stopped and took out a dark handheld device from his tactical vest, slowly raising it to his eyes.
In Yuri's night vision vision, it was clearly a handheld scanner!
At the critical moment.
"Land, fire!" Yuri gave the order through his headset, his finger already on the trigger.
"receive."
Eight hundred meters away on the hill, Lu Ye's finger steadily and decisively pulled the trigger.
"puff!"
The silencer reduced the SVCh's gunshots to a minimum.
The instant the first shot was fired, Lu Ye's wrist twitched rapidly, pulling back the bolt, ejecting the spent cartridge, and pushing the bullet into the chamber—his movements were so fast that only a blur remained.
He slightly lowered the muzzle and aimed the sights at two figures 750 meters away.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
He pulled the trigger twice.
[Kill 3 enemies, reward 300 points]
At the same moment that Rikuno opened fire, Yuri and Artyom, who were lurking in the swamp, also moved.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Yuri fired two 5.45mm bullets that precisely pierced the neck of the soldier who was about to turn on the scanner, severing his trachea and carotid artery.
Artyom's bullet mercilessly pierced the skull of another soldier.
The flashlight fell into the muddy water, flickered once, and then went out completely.
The entire process took less than three seconds, and the four outer sentries and the sentries in the watchtower were completely eliminated!
"Clear the water tower. Clear the outposts at a distance." Lu Ye reported calmly while vigilantly scanning his surroundings.
"Nearby outposts cleared. Safe." Yuri stood up from the mud and water, waved his hand, and said, "Advance quickly!"
The five-man squad tactically rushed across the last thirty meters of swamp and arrived at the rusty barbed wire fence.
Roman strode forward, pulled out tactical hydraulic shears from his backpack, and with a few "snips," cut a large hole in the thick barbed wire.
"Enter!"
Yuri was the first to crawl through the gap, aiming his gun forward.
The squad filed in and spread out in a fan shape behind the barbed wire, establishing a three-dimensional defensive formation.
Yuri is in charge of the frontal core area;
Artyom and Ruslan, relying on the barbed wire ruins, locked their guns on the factory to the north and the high ground to the east, respectively.
Roman quickly dragged the two corpses he had just killed into the nearby bushes.
While the others were on guard, Eugene strode over to one of the corpses and deftly pulled out a military walkie-talkie with an encryption module.
