Chapter 80 Seizing and Exchanging
Lu Ye, the female officer, and Vasily walked like three ghosts through the edge of the withered birch forest.
Stop on the reverse slope of the dense forest, 400 meters away from the enemy bunker.
"Observe the situation." Lu Ye lay prone in the weeds, locking onto the target ahead with his dual-mode scope.
"Due to the explosion over the village, they reacted quickly and are now on full alert. The camouflage netting has been removed from the two firing ports on the front."
"The heat source indicates that there are two soldiers behind the firing port, presumably machine gunners. There is a heat source on the top of the bunker, presumably an observer, who is holding night vision goggles and looking back and forth."
"The remaining two infantrymen built a makeshift shelter in front of the bunker, with their guns pointed at the forest path."
"What about the side and rear?" the female officer asked in a low voice over the channel.
"A communications soldier was carrying a radio and walking around behind the bunker, trying to make contact with the outside world."
"A direct assault would be difficult," Vasily replied in a low voice, checking the magazine of his AK-15. "If the first shot doesn't immediately disable all their firepower, their machine guns will suppress us on the slope."
"I'll take control." Lu Ye's voice remained calm. "I'll occupy the high rock face at the 11 o'clock position. Prioritize hunting down the observers and enemy machine gunners on the rooftop, cutting off their early warning capabilities and firing positions."
"Sir, you take Vasily and infiltrate from the side and rear slope. Take out the communications soldier first, then once inside the bunker, use a stun grenade to clear a path."
"As long as you enter the bunker from the rear, the two soldiers in front of the bunker will surely come to its aid, and then you can leave it to me."
"Understood." Vasily nodded.
"The enemy's observers are also constantly monitoring the surrounding situation. Listen carefully to my instructions to take cover."
The female officer nodded, pushed the safety off the Stechkin APS with her thumb, and went into the shadow of the rocky cliff with Vasily.
Lu Ye climbed over a rock and quietly inserted the SCVh tripod into a crevice.
The crosshair was locked onto the observer atop the bunker.
"I'm in position!"
A moment later, the female officer's voice came through the communication channel, "Ready to move out!"
"The machine gun ports are angled. Wait for the enemy machine gunner to make a mistake, and then wait for my instructions."
Five minutes later, the heat source in the bunker finally couldn't help but adjust its body, standing up and aligning its upper body with the machine gun port.
"action!"
"puff!"
An extremely faint firing sound.
The bullet ripped through the night sky, pierced the machine gunner's chest, and he fell to the ground.
"The main gunner has been killed!" Lu Ye said calmly, slightly adjusting the muzzle of his gun before pulling the trigger again.
"puff!"
"The spotter has been killed!"
[Kill 2 enemy soldier, reward 200 points!]
However, the enemy inside the bunker reacted very quickly, and another machine gunner swiftly took over the handgun and began firing.
"Da da da da da!"
"Attack!" Lu Ye roared into the channel, pulling the trigger again. The bullet struck the edge of the firing port, the sparks that flew up momentarily pausing the enemy's fire before it roared back up again.
-----------------
At the same time, on the other side, Vasily, with the help of the female officer, successfully killed the communications soldier who was calling the radio.
The two then quickly approached the side door of the bunker.
"Cover!" Vasily pressed himself against the door, pulled the pin on the Zarya-2 stun grenade, counted to two silently, and flung it through the crack in the door.
"Buzz!"
A muffled cracking sound came from inside the bunker.
"Break in!"
Vasily kicked open the back door, and the female officer followed closely behind.
"Puff puff! Puff puff puff!"
The distinctive short, fully automatic firing sound of the Stechkin APS echoed within the bunker.
Vasily charged in, and the AK-15 fired short bursts of fire in quick succession.
Less than ten seconds later, Vasily's voice came through the channel:
"Interior clearing complete. Bunker under takeover."
"The two soldiers outside the bunker who were trying to return to reinforce have been eliminated!" Lu Ye communicated in the call channel.
[Kill 2 enemy soldier, reward 200 points!]
Lu Ye packed up his bipod, straightened up, lowered his center of gravity, and hurried toward the bunker. He held his SVCh horizontally in front of his chest, the muzzle pointing outwards in a defensive posture, his eyes quickly scanning the woods.
Upon entering the bunker, two machine gunners lay dead in pools of blood.
"There's no time to clean up the battlefield." Lu Ye quickly checked the surrounding weapons. "Vasily, that PKM needs to be set up again, and move the ammunition boxes of those two infantrymen over here."
"Sir, collect all their grenades. We need to redeploy our defenses."
The three quickly left the building and began setting up their defenses as planned.
Lu Ye crouched in the bushes at the intersection, pulled the safety on the Zarya-2 stun grenade, and secured it to the base, with a thin steel wire tripwire running across the road.
Vasily positioned RGO defensive fragmentation grenades in a quincunx pattern on both sides of the slope, thirty meters behind him.
At the bend closest to the bunker, the female officer hung an RGD-5 assault grenade on a low tree branch, triggering a tripwire.
Soon, a temporary defensive position was completed.
The three completed their preparations and reunited in front of the bunker.
"Assign positions." Lu Ye looked at the two of them. "I can't stay in the bunker. The firing ports limit the sniping view. Once the enemy spreads out and flanks us, the bunker will be a death trap."
"There's no cover outside." The female officer frowned. "If the enemy has grenade launchers, you'll be wiped out instantly."
"I've taken that high rock spot on the north side," Lu Ye pointed upwards, "from there you can overlook the entire trap zone and the woodland exit."
"Sir, you go into the bunker, set up that PKM, and take charge of frontal fire suppression. Vasily, you'll provide support on the flank and prevent anyone from getting close."
"Understood." Vasily nodded.
"This is the optimal solution." Lu Ye stared at the female officer. "If we can't hold this position, none of the Hunter Team members will survive."
After saying that, he took out two smoke grenades from his bag and handed them to the female officer.
The female officer paused for half a second, took the smoke grenade, and turned to enter the bunker.
4:20 a.m.
Lu Ye lay prone on the high rock, adjusted the SVCh tripod to a horizontal position, and relaxed all his muscles.
Then I opened the system's points mall and started redeeming points.
[Danger Intuition (Passive): Redemption successful, 2000 points deducted]
[Danger Intuition (Passive): Due to the host unlocking the Perception attribute, Danger Intuition can predict a fatal attack 0.5 seconds in advance.]
[Tactical quick reload, successful redemption, 1000 points deducted]
[Tactical Quick Reload: Proficient in empty reloading and emergency ammo switching techniques, with a 40% increase in reload speed across all weapons, suitable for close-quarters kiting and breaking through enemy lines, and can stack with Quick Reload (passive)]
In addition, I just exchanged for the basic booby trap identification skill to make the trap more concealed and less likely to be discovered, which consumed 300 points.
These alone cost 3300 points. If it weren't for the extra points earned from killing enemy soldiers earlier, we wouldn't have had enough points at all.
Just then, a piercing electrical sound suddenly came from the channel.
"Z...calling...sir...please respond if you hear me." Gray Wolf's voice was intermittent, accompanied by dense gunfire and heavy breathing.
"This is Lu Ye." Lu Ye pressed the earpiece. "The bunker has been captured. Report your situation."
"Well done," Gray Wolf said in a hoarse voice. "We're crossing the forest. Hawkeye is dead, the church tower was hit head-on by an RPG, and he didn't retreat."
"Lynx is slightly wounded, Giant Bear is seriously wounded, and Detonator is carrying him. We've lost all our heavy firepower, and we have less than a third of our ammunition left."
"We are currently 2.5 kilometers away from you. There are about 30 pursuers outside the forest, and they also have vehicle-mounted grenades and machine guns. Their numbers are unknown, and they are very close behind."
Lu Ye's pupils contracted slightly: "Understood. We can retreat directly to the bunker's coordinates. I'll take care of clearing out the pursuers' heavy firepower. There are weapons left behind by five enemy soldiers in the bunker, and ammunition is plentiful."
"Roger that," Gray Wolf replied. "Lu, it's up to you now."
"Trust me." Lu Ye cut off the communication.
He turned his head and gestured towards the bunker.
"Sir, Vasily, prepare to engage the enemy. Thirty pursuers, equipped with heavy firepower."
