Lurking Stronghold
They had killed a total of six patrol teams, giving Rashu more than 70 points.
After that, Rashu met up with the Red Blood Cell Squad and began to retrieve the corpses of the other five slave army patrols. This also allowed Rashu to obtain a total of more than 100 points.
With a little over 100 points, Rashu recruited five elite infantrymen, each armed to the teeth.
At the same time, there were also four artillery units and 75mm field howitzers.
And tonight's operation had just begun.
At the start, Rashu was still a little worried about his plan. However, the system's performance was as steady as Old Wang's, causing the last bit of worry in Rashu's heart to instantly vanish.
The system was so powerful that he really couldn't find any reason to worry.
With Rashu's current military strength and elite infantry's combat skills, Rashu was confident that he could fight the enemies in the stronghold head-on.
After all, with more and more battles, anyone would have confidence in this era.
However, Rashu was not the kind of person who liked to wander around casually. After collecting all the corpses and meeting up with the Red Blood Cell team, the group of eight successfully hid outside the entrance of the stronghold.
At night, the gate of the stronghold was closed. Only after the patrol team changed teams would the small gate of the stronghold be opened to change the patrol team.
Other than the patrol team, there were also people on 24-hour alert in the stronghold.
The strongholds used the turrets as their main defense. Tall walls were built between the turrets. These walls were all at the level of city walls. There were shooting holes and battlements on them, and there were soldiers patrolling at all times.
The stronghold was a huge square, and each wall was 500 meters long. On each wall, there were almost two troops on guard.
There were also searchlights to illuminate the outside world to increase the security at night.
However, for Rashu and the Red Blood Cell team, the stronghold was so guarded that it was basically useless.
Outside of the searchlights and within the sight of the patrolling guards on the city wall, the eight of them easily hid under the city wall.
The stronghold's eight-meter-tall city wall looked quite sturdy. It could withstand normal artillery fire. As for mortars and other artillery fire, they could not threaten the stronghold's city wall at all.
Rashu and the others, who were hiding under the city wall, even cut off the telephone line connecting the stronghold to the outside.
However, the only way for Luo Town to contact the other strongholds or the county was through the radio. The telephone line was used to connect the strongholds or the nearby towers.
Once the stronghold was attacked, the radio station in the stronghold could immediately contact the other strongholds outside or the two nearest counties to send reinforcements.
With the speed of the Chiyou Army in the two nearest counties, it would only take them two hours to arrive.
With the defensive firepower of the stronghold, even if they encountered the main force of the Jinsui Army or the 18th Provincial Army, they would have no problem holding out for two hours.
Therefore, the strongholds were basically hard to deal with. They were built on the main roads, and the Chiyou Army had many trucks that could move quickly. They could even send tanks and armored vehicles to support them.
As such, unless they had enough soldiers and were prepared, Great Qin's Divine Dragon Empire's army would not provoke a defensive point like the Chiyou Army's stronghold.
Therefore, the attacking points on the battlefield were often controlled by the Chiyou Army.
Currently, the war had just started and the morale of the Chiyou Army was high. The battle was far from reaching a stalemate.
Right now, Great Qin's army was mostly passively defending, while the better ones were actively defending.
This also meant that the Chiyou Army and the slave army in the stronghold were not worried about people attacking the stronghold. Be it patrolling or guarding, it was more of a formality. Up until now, there had never been any accidents.
Just like now, Rashu and the Red Blood Cell Squad had all passed through the Flying Claws and easily climbed up the city wall. However, the slave army and the Chi You Army in the stronghold still didn't know anything.
The slave army and the Chiyou Army who were on guard on the city wall stayed in the turrets on the city wall. Only one or two people would come out to take a walk every hour.
After all, it was too cold outside. The temperature was almost zero degrees. There was a brazier in the turret that connected to the city wall, so it was very warm.
Rashu and the others who had climbed up the city wall even reached the exit of the turret. The people inside still did not know that the Grim Reaper had already arrived by their side.
The entire stronghold was made up of eight turrets, each of which was occupied by 10 slave soldiers or Chi You Army soldiers.
The turret had a total of four floors. There were searchlights on the top floor, and there were two people fixed on it.
There were also two riflemen on the third floor. On the second floor, which was the floor connected to the city wall, there were four people who were responsible for controlling the machine guns in the firing holes and patrolling the city wall.
The first level was inside the city wall, and there was also a light machine gun below.
There were seven people in the Red Blood Cell team. Including Rashu, there were exactly eight people. Each person was responsible for a turret.
The turret that Luo Xiu was in charge of was the only one that housed the Chiyou Army. It was also the turret that faced the entrance of the stronghold.
The other seven turrets were filled with slave soldiers.
When Luo Xiu sneaked to the gate between the turret and the city wall, he could hear the Chiyou Army singing and shouting from afar. It was obvious that some of them were drunk.
It was late at night, even the most elite troops of the Chiyou Army couldn't help but take a few sips to warm themselves up.
There were eight Chi You Army soldiers on the second floor. Except for the two on the roof, all the other Chi You Army soldiers were gathered on the second floor.
There was plenty of space in the turret, about 30 square meters. There was a table and four stools in the middle.
There was a large amount of food and wine on the table. The eight Chi You Army warriors were eating and drinking. It was very lively.
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to disturb the slave army and the other Chi You Army soldiers who were sleeping in the stronghold, he only needed one powerful grenade to kill the eight Chi You Army soldiers.
Rashu was like a patient hunter, quietly waiting for the time to hunt.
At this moment, the seven people from Red Blood Cell were all hiding at the entrance of the turret, waiting at the same time.
At 11 o'clock sharp, the enemies in the eight turrets would basically come out and walk around to greet the six patrol teams in Luo family town.
This was a pattern that Rashu had discovered long ago. At that time, the system had yet to be activated. Rashu, who had transmigrated, was already actively preparing for a retreat route and had already begun to investigate the movements of the enemies in the town.
