Just as Hou Jun guessed, the "Catfish" team took action when the squads of the Special Reconnaissance Company were fighting each other.
The first squad discovered that after several groups sent by the "Catfish" team returned, they quickly began to move towards the target location.
Finally moved.
Hou Jun and Li Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This shows that all previous guesses are correct.
The tactics adopted by this squad of unknown origins are to "muddy the water" and then "fish in troubled waters."
It’s true that war never tires of deceit!
Hou Jun sincerely admired the commander he had never met before.
At the same time, I also saw the differences between everyone.
It's not that the other party is much smarter than me, but the other party's proficiency in using tactics is definitely a sign of rich experience. The commander may not be a commanding genius, but maybe just an experienced veteran who has gone through a lot of training.
The experience accumulated after assessments, exercises, confrontations and actual military operations.
This is the gap between the old special forces and the new special forces, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of personnel quality and combat thinking.
Later, the "Catfish" team accurately bypassed the respective warning zones of other squads in the company and passed through them directly to the destination. Looking at the route map in the Beidou terminal, Hou Jun was amazed again.
Although this small team has mastered the lurking positions of other classes except Class 1, theoretically speaking, it is not difficult to avoid contact.
But the actual operation is not the same thing at all.
One is at night, and I can't see my fingers.
Secondly, many of the routes were outside the monitoring range of the squads of the 1st company, and they were passable. The routes were precise and the insertions were accurate, and every step reflected skilled and sophisticated combat skills.
The method of attacking the abandoned factory was extremely fast and professional, which was an eye-opener for the squad who was waiting nearby.
"Squad leader, there must be lurking posts outside this stronghold, right?"
Before the "Catfish" team prepared to attack, Li Zheng had a question that he had not thought about.
That's how to find out about the lurking posts outside this stronghold.
Lurking sentry, as the name suggests, is a lurking sentry.
An open whistle is easy to block, but a concealed whistle is difficult to guard against.
The gate post, the observation post on the roof, and the mobile posts on the floors and in the compound are all visible to the naked eye. It is not difficult to capture them as long as the sniper and the assaulter cooperate. As long as they cooperate tacitly, it will not be difficult.
The hard part is those lurking sentries.
They often lurk in places that cannot be seen, not too far from the stronghold, and maintain a distance that can support and cooperate with each other, because the lurking sentry needs to retreat and return to the team after completing its warning and sneak attack functions.
If it's too far, it's a death whistle, a disposable item that will cause the enemy losses, but you will never be able to go back.
It won't work if it's too close. Being too close means narrowing the warning range. Even if it can have a surprise effect, it cannot be maximized.
Generally speaking, about 100 meters is the optimal distance for a lurking post in a stronghold.
Because when a special team conducts a raid on a fixed defense point, most of the time it is best to reach about fifty meters outside the attack target.
In this way, from the beginning of the attack to the breakthrough, the distance is short and difficult to be intercepted. It can also maximize the suddenness and reduce the losses of the team.
Hou Jun knew what Li Zheng was referring to.
Lying on the hillside, watching from a distance as the "Catfish" team began to infiltrate the stronghold, he thought about it again and again, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
You must know that their special operations brigade has not experienced much and has not experienced many drills, so there is a big gap in experience.
He asked Li Zheng: "If it were you, what would you do?"
Li Zheng smiled and said, monitor, you can't test me like this. You are the monitor and I am not.
Hou Jun said you will be in the future.
Li Zheng could only answer: "It is said that the latent sentry can use individual radar and thermal infrared search. The former is the most effective, but if the opponent is prepared, it can also reduce the chance of being detected. So the best way is to penetrate the target first.
On the outskirts of the stronghold, long-term reconnaissance is carried out. The latent post is a human being. He must change his guard and change his position with time. Once he changes guard, he will be completely exposed and the next deployment will be discovered early.
"
Hou Jun pointed to the distance: "Then do you think he is prepared for this lurking post? How many are there?"
Li Zheng was stunned.
There is a platoon of troops inside.
This is already stated in the briefing.
As for sending out a few lurking sentries...
This is really a test.
No one dares to say for sure.
It is said that each unit responsible for defense has a ratio, which will not be exceeded.
For example, if you have a platoon, you must arrange various sentries, gate posts, open posts, observation posts, mobile posts, hidden posts, and latent posts.
Each shift of these personnel generally does not exceed eight hours, and the guard posts of the general army even change every two hours. Under special circumstances, like today, in order to prevent the chance of exposure, the latent posts generally have to stay up for 12 hours.
However, even if this is the case, it will certainly not exceed one-third.
Otherwise, no one can bear to work two shifts, and it is easy for them to become tired and drowsy while working, which is not conducive to vigilance.
"At most three."
Li Zheng expressed his rough speculation.
"Absolutely no more than three, otherwise the platoon leader will be crazy."
"So, even if there are only two of them, how do you dig them out?" Hou Jun pointed to the target.
Li Zheng looked there and saw that it was an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
The crumbling wall of the factory compound is surrounded by flat land for a hundred and ten meters, with grass as tall as half a man growing on the flat ground. If you want to cross this open land to attack the gate or break through the wall, you will easily become a living target before you reach it.
And those lurking sentries should be somewhere in that grassland.
At least it's a good place to be a lurking sentry post.
"have no idea."
Li Zheng shook his head.
"I haven't thought of a good way yet."
Hou Jun suddenly pointed to the building at the target point: "Look at the roof of the building. The platoon leader who may be crazy is there."
Li Zheng looked through the scope and looked there.
He is indeed a platoon leader.
He felt that the platoon leader of the mountain platoon was attracted by the sound of gunfire. From the binoculars he held and looked around, and from his behavior, he knew he was an officer.
Li Zheng used the crosshair to pin him, and then joked: "This platoon leader is so confident that he is no longer afraid of being shot..."
Before he could finish his words, only a gunshot was heard.
Then Li Zheng saw the platoon leader in the mirror covered in smoke and completely "dead in action."
"Well……"
Li Zheng felt that he was quite talkative.
Hou Jun whispered: "They are taking action, let's see how they pull out those lurking sentries..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a "tongtongtong" sound coming from a recessed place at the foot of the mountain on the right front side.
"Grenade?"
Hou Jun frowned.
However, Li Zheng saw a lot of things suddenly falling on the grass around the factory compound, like rain. After landing, there was a little light smoke at first, and suddenly there was a big smoke.

Soon, Li Zheng discovered that the entire factory building and its surroundings were shrouded in white smoke.
