Chapter 397 Special Warfare
Zhu Biao's main purpose of this reconnaissance was to find out the specific situation of the enemy at the north gate.
When he approached the north gate, the scene before him was shocking.
There was a camp two miles outside the city. Both sides of the hanging tower on the city wall had collapsed. Only a few enemy soldiers were on the main tower, looking nervous and alert.
The gun positions originally used for defense at both ends of the city wall have all been destroyed. The few remaining guns have been occupied by the Xianbei troops. The muzzles are facing the direction of the city, but there is no sign of firing.
In the military camp outside the city, there is a tent that looks particularly luxurious. From a distance, one can guess that its owner is of extraordinary status.
Therefore, Zhu Biao secretly decided to launch a sniper attack on this position. He knew very well that killing the enemy's senior generals was a key link in accelerating victory in the war.
However, three miles away from this camp, there are traces of where Xianbei soldiers were once stationed.
This must have been the position of the army before the battle, and after entering the city it became a guard post.
In order to successfully complete the sniper mission, you must first eliminate the enemies in this place.
After careful observation, Zhu Biao found that the number of people here was not large, about five hundred or so.
So he brought more than a hundred people, including ten snipers and deputy snipers, ten gunners, and the rest were shooters.
In the special forces, every gunner is a backup candidate for the sniper, but their sniping skills are far inferior to those of the professional snipers who are carrying out this mission.
Time is running out, and the large army's carriages will arrive soon.
Once the shelling begins, the sniper target is likely to escape from the sniper range due to the noise of the shelling.
The war had already destroyed the originally open woods outside the city, and the burning tree trunks lying on the ground still emitted faint green smoke.
The personnel performing the sniper mission crawled on the ground cautiously and approached the target slowly and steadily.
On the other side, Zhu Biao, with his gunmen, also quietly approached the alert Xianbei soldiers.
As a person on guard, you naturally cannot stay in one place.
From time to time, they would patrol in a farther direction to ensure that there were no enemy troops within a radius of five miles. Sometimes they would even run as far as ten miles to conduct reconnaissance.
At this time, three waves of Xianbei soldiers went out for patrol, and there were at least two hundred people left in the camp.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
What Zhu Biao has to do is to ensure that the sniper can safely enter the sniper position without being discovered, or in other words, after completing the sniper kill, he will not be surrounded by this group of enemies.
Ma Damu's team had arrived and began adjusting the artillery positions from a distance of 1,500 steps.
Because it was transported by horse-drawn carriage, the horses had to be taken away before firing, and then the carriage had to be fixed in place to prevent it from shifting due to vibration.
When transported on a carriage, the shells are on top, and some of the ammunition must be unloaded and placed under the carriage.
Cao Yibao's team is mainly responsible for preventing enemy attacks.
Chen Qian led his team up the city wall from the west gate and led some people along the wall towards the north gate.
Many parts of the city wall were destroyed, and the largest defect was the main building near the north gate.
From time to time, Xianbei soldiers would climb up the city wall halfway and launch an attack towards the west gate.
The ground was littered with corpses and blood, making it extremely muddy.
After being exposed for a long time, a disgusting stench began to emanate from this place.
It is also because of this that no one is willing to fight near here.
Chen Qian put on a special mask made for the special forces, but still couldn't completely block the odor.
Some limbs were so severely decayed that they started to slip when stepped on.
After passing through the area with the most corpses, there were only obvious bloodstains in front and very few corpses. It was probably cleaned up by someone, but we were also approaching the target where the enemy was stationed.
As expected, there were three or four people on duty here, and the rest stayed away because they couldn't stand the smell here.
When they noticed someone approaching, they were stunned at first.
The special forces' uniforms were very strange. They wore tactical bulletproof vests on the outside and khaki camouflage armor on their heads. The strangest thing was that everyone wore a black cloth mask and held a rifle in their hands.
The enemy was stunned at first, then screamed in horror.
The special forces soldier rushing in the front reacted quickly and fired a shot at the shouting person, hitting the man's neck on the spot. The bullet penetrated and drew a bloody mist.
The gunshots woke up the remaining three people, and one of them stuck his head out to see what was going on.
The result was another shot, hitting him accurately between the eyebrows.
The commandos quickly filled the positions and quickly killed the remaining enemies.
Their position had been exposed at this point, and the rest of the people no longer hid. They stretched their guns out from the parapet and attacked the enemy in the distance.
Chen Qian saw the rotting corpses in the back and felt sorry for them. He said to the officers and soldiers at the west gate, "Go get some coarse cloth, wrap your compatriots in it, and bury them outside the city."
Although no one wants to do such an uncomfortable thing, they are all his comrades. In the end, he felt guilty and could not bear to see these comrades' bodies exposed in the wilderness.
They pried open a nearby cloth shop and took out a lot of white linen.
On the city wall, the special forces continued to shoot and fight in the front, while the Yan army behind them were struggling to pick up the corpses. In the end, even the bodies of the Xianbei people were wrapped up and taken away, and transported downstairs for burial.
The sudden gunfire blocked the entire entrance and exit of the North Gate, and later there was a mortar bombardment. Almost no one dared to enter or leave the North Gate without permission.
The Xianbei soldiers tried several times to recapture this crucial position, but were repelled by dense gunfire.
Although the commando's gun cannot fire continuously, it only requires pulling the bolt once to fire a shot, and the firing rate is obviously much faster.
When reloading, the comrades next to you will fill in the position in time to ensure that there will be no firepower gap in defending a position.
If someone is found giving orders, the sniper will kill them one by one.
There was once a deserted area of several hundred steps at the north gate.
Later, the Xianbei people used shields and some house door panels as cover, preparing to force their way onto the city wall.
The commandos were equipped with rockets and showed no mercy by sending the enemy straight back home.
Ma Damu had already prepared 120 mortars. With a command, all the guns bombarded the enemy camp.
At this time, the sniper outside the city had also arrived, aiming his gun at the most luxurious tent and carefully observing the enemy situation through the telescope.
Tuoba Que in the tent was startled by the sudden explosion. When he saw the frequent explosions around him, he knew someone was launching an attack.
As a man who has experienced many battles, he has a calm temperament after all, and he is not afraid of danger.
"Bring my black horse here, I want to mount and meet the enemy." Tuoba Qian shouted loudly to his personal guards.
After a while, someone came over with a horse, and the sniper saw it all through the scope.
"There's a big fish!" the sniper whispered softly.
The observer also saw the black horse through the telescope and said softly, "This must be a general. He hasn't left the tent for so long. He's really lucky that no bombs fell inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Qian appeared in the camera. Before his deputy could say anything, he had already climbed onto his horse.
Tuoba Que was not in a hurry. He stretched out his hand to take the weapon handed to him by his personal guard. At this moment, he heard a sound of breaking air beside his ear.
Years of battlefield experience told him that something was coming towards him.
However, just as he thought of this, his body seemed to be hit by a huge force, pushing him hard, and then he was hit again, causing him to twist his body in pain again.
Five sniper rifles fired almost simultaneously, and at least three bullets instantly penetrated Tuoba Que's body...
