Chapter 523 Signal Trip Mine

The Waterfall Well Village was right in front of us. According to the fixed combat process, the Dongfeng Corps set up a temporary command post two kilometers away from the main settlement area of ​​the village, released drones, established observation posts and sentry posts, and began to reconnoitre the target building.

Their time was very tight, and reconnaissance could turn into attack at any time, so Chen Chen did not deliberately "train the team" anymore, but directly selected 6 people including Yang Shu, Lin He, and Li Bang to follow him in the direction of the machine processing plant.

At this time, the entire Waterfall Well Village was already silent.

In addition, it was located in the middle of the desert in a remote area of ​​Raqqa Province, and the infrastructure was extremely scarce. There was not even a light in the entire village.

When they were 500 meters away, the sniper and observer left the team and established a sniper position, and the other five continued to move forward, but the speed had slowed down.

The friction sound of gravel was particularly harsh at night. With the help of thermal fusion night vision goggles, the five people carefully observed the activities of people in the target village, fearing that they would miss a little abnormality and cause the operation to fail completely.

At this time, the drones above their heads were also conducting aerial reconnaissance, and Chen Chen's headset continuously heard the reports of the drone operator.

"No active targets were found around the target building."

"There are lights in the houses on the north side of the village."

"The lights are off."

"There is a car coming on the road, about 1 kilometer away, and it is expected to pass in two minutes."

"300 meters away, hidden."

"Already passed, you can move forward."

"There is a sand dune shelter 50 meters ahead, which can be used."

"No active targets were found"

After a series of reports, Chen Chen had led the team to a position less than 200 meters away from the target building. At this time, they could finally see the whole picture of the machine processing plant clearly.

In fact, it is better to say that it is a courtyard formed by the gathering of multiple houses rather than a "factory".

The entire factory area presents a rather unscientific triangular layout, with several simple tents covered with canvas in the open space in the middle, and in the tent, the shadow of a large lathe can be vaguely seen.

Chen Chen and his team of five people lay on the sand dunes, took out a low-light telescope to observe the situation in the factory area, and tried to mark the location of the militants.

But to Chen Chen's disappointment, after five minutes of observation, there was still no trace of any human activity in the entire machine processing plant.

Not only that, when he changed his target and tried to find clues related to the "gas tank cannon", he did not find anything.

How is this possible?

Theoretically, in such a small factory with incomplete facilities and even more incomplete systems, there are two simple answers: yes or no. There is no such thing as "abnormal activities, but perfectly covered up".

Because with their capabilities and their equipment, they can't do this at all.

To process the gas tank cannon, your gas tank must have a place to put it, right? Your gun mount cannot be welded and assembled inside the building, right?

You at least need a truck with a certain carrying capacity on standby, right? You at least need someone to undertake basic security work, right?

But, none of them.

This factory seems to have been abandoned or emptied.

Except for the abandoned old equipment, there is nothing abnormal at all.

Chen Chen frowned, put down the telescope, and asked Lin He beside him softly:

"Did you find anything?"

At this time, Lin He's expression was also puzzled. He shook his head gently and replied:

"I didn't see any signs of human activity - I mean, there are no basic signs of life."

"This doesn't look like a factory that can produce so many cannons. Instead, it looks like some kind of ruins."

"Captain, are you sure our intelligence is correct? Are you sure there is really abnormal activity here?"

Hearing his words, Chen Chen nodded firmly, and then replied:

"The intelligence is definitely correct, and the location is also correct."

"However, the Syrian government received the intelligence 48 hours after the explosion, and we have received the intelligence from now on. It has been 8 hours."

"The other party may have completed the evacuation - if that's the case, our trip is in vain."

"Keep getting closer and if necessary, go directly into the internal search!"

"Understood!"

"Received!"

Everyone answered in turn, and at this time, the drone also reported the safety signal of "no human activity" again.

Chen Chen no longer hesitated, but quickly issued an order to disperse and assault.

The five people fanned out and headed towards the machining plant.

Five minutes later, Chen Chen was the first to arrive at the last bunker closest to the machining plant.

In front of him was the land base of the highway, and opposite the road base was the wall of the machining plant.

"Wait here, Lin He, use the wall-penetrating detector and get close to investigate."

"Understood."

Lin He replied softly, and then, under the cover of a total of six guns, he quickly crossed the highway in a low position, and with the help of the undulating terrain, he arrived near the wall of the machining plant in a very short time.

The wall-penetrating detector flashed a faint green light, and after a moment, Lin He began to move slowly around the wall.

The scope of the entire factory area is roughly an equilateral triangle, with the widest point no more than 50 meters, and the buildings are basically concentrated on the edge of the wall. In theory, this is completely within the range of the wall-penetrating detector.

However, nothing happens in the wall detector.

"Target not found."

Lin He's reply came from Chen Chen's earphones. He raised his hand above his head and waved it slowly, signaling the drone to lower its altitude. Then he led the remaining four people quickly across the road and joined Lin He close to the wall.

"Nothing?"

Chen Chen asked in a low voice.

"There was nothing, no signs of life in there."

This is really strange

Logically speaking, even if the other party wants to evacuate, just complete the removal of the equipment. How can they also evacuate all the people?

Workers here don’t have to work anymore? Or have they all been silenced?

"Where is the entrance?"

Chen Chen continued to ask.

"There is an entrance at the front and rear. The main entrance is due east, and there is a narrow door due west. They are both locked, but they can be broken down."

"Don't demolish, climb over the wall!"

"clear!"

Lin He simply answered, and then the five people quickly selected a position to set up a ladder. In just a few seconds, Chen Chen stepped on Li Bang's shoulders and climbed over the glass-filled wall.

This design is exactly the same as the rural fence he is familiar with. It is purely to guard against gentlemen but not villains.

Glass cannot penetrate Kevlar tactical gloves, let alone thick body armor.

Chen Chen gently fell into the courtyard, and after him, Li Gang and Lin He also climbed over the courtyard wall one after another.

At this time, their location was in the narrow alley between two buildings. Lin He once again took out the wall detector and began to detect the inside of the house.

——

Still no results.

"It's possible they really ran away."

Lin He whispered.

"It's possible, let's go and have a look first."

Chen Chen carefully opened the safety of the AK-74M in his hand, then took the lead and walked around the side of the building, directly to the low window.

At this time, the advantages of the thermal fusion night vision device were fully revealed. He did not need to switch to night vision mode. With the help of the enhanced picture tube, he could clearly see the situation inside the house.

No people, no equipment, just nothing.

"Come in."

Chen Chen gave a brief order, and immediately after, Gang Li stepped forward and carefully pushed the window open.

His movements were quite gentle. Even though he knew that there was a high probability that no one would be in the room, he still maintained the most basic caution.

In fact, it was this caution that saved everyone's lives.

Just when the window opened to an angle of more than 15 degrees, Chen Chen keenly noticed that there was actually a thin thread hanging on the outward-opening window!

"stop!"

Chen Chen spoke immediately, and Li Bang's hand stopped immediately.

Then, he also noticed the thin line.

Under the action of the pulling force, this thread has collapsed straight, and it seems that it will break in the next second.

And what exactly is connected to this wire, no one knows.

This is a trap!

This thought immediately flashed through Chen Chen's mind. He quickly gestured for the drone to raise its altitude alert, then lowered his body and leaned towards the side of the building covered by the roof.

"Tripping thunder?"

Li Bang asked.

"Probably."

"Watch the top of your head and try to hide under the building."

"Check all areas for additional traps."

"clear!"

The three of them spread out on the spot and searched in three directions.

At this time, their goal is no longer to find the person, but to find the trap.

"A trip mine was found at the front door."

"A trip mine was found at the back door."

"A trip mine was found near the lathe in the tent."

"A trip mine was found in the house."

A series of reports kept coming, and Chen Chen was also constantly counting the number of tripping mines.

After they completely searched the entire factory area, Chen Chen was surprised to find that the number of trip mines actually reached an astonishing 20!

Are you kidding me? Do you really want to blow up everyone who comes here? ?

wrong.

Each trip mine is independent, and in terms of volume, the explosion yield will not be much greater!

If their purpose was to kill, why were there so many separate explosives set up?

Bury explosives underground or hide them in machine tools, and simply set up a few detonating devices. No matter which one you encounter, it will blow up the entire factory, right?

Why make it so complicated?

Chen Chen walked towards the machine tool under the tent. At this time, Lin He had already begun to try to dismantle the trip mine.

Chen Chen squatted down and observed carefully, and immediately approached the so-called "explosive" after Lin He removed the detonation device.

This thing is just a steel pipe, inserted straight into the ground, buried deep in the ground and pointing to the sky.

The fuse soaked in extremely unstable nitroglycerin was put aside by Lin He. Fortunately, his movement was slow enough so that it did not cause an explosion.

"light."

Chen Chen said.

Li Gang on the side immediately covered the flashlight with his hand and turned on the switch. Through his fingers, the weak light shined directly into the steel pipe.

The gray-white gunpowder shone slightly with silver. Chen Chen put his hand into the iron pipe and touched it carefully, and then his expression immediately changed.

"Damn, this isn't fucking gunpowder."

"It's thermite - no, it's a firework!"

After hearing his words, Li Bang and Lin He immediately turned their eyes to the steel pipe, and after just a moment, they also understood what Chen Chen meant.

The purpose of this thing is not to kill, but to instruct!

If someone really entered the machining plant, the people who set up these trip mines would know immediately.

And then, the position of the Dongfeng Corps would be exposed, and those hiding in the dark could launch a wanton attack on them!

Chen Chen's back was covered with cold sweat. He had realized that he was really being tricked this time.

If he hadn't been careful enough, if he hadn't chosen to climb over the wall, if he hadn't reacted quickly and called Li Bang in time, then no matter what, this firework.

It would have already taken off!

"What's going on?"

The white dog who stayed in the temporary command center couldn't help it. Chen Chen rubbed the gunpowder off his hands and replied:

"We've been tricked."

"This machine processing plant may have produced gas tank cannons, but they have withdrawn now!"

"They have set up a large number of booby traps marked by flares, which will expose our position once detonated."

"The other party hasn't gone far, they are just waiting!"

"Command center, adjust the plan."

"Everyone prepare for battle."

"The drone continues to increase its altitude, pay attention to the two-kilometer radius of Waterfall Well Village, and look for enemy positions."

"They must use artillery fire, we have to lure them out!"

"Understood!"

Five minutes later, Chen Chen had led the team to withdraw to the bunker 200 meters away from the machine processing plant, and at the same time, the sniper had already aimed at the "fireworks" that Chen Chen had re-placed.

"500 meters away, correct the wind direction."

"You only have one shot, can you hit it?"

"No problem!"

The team member responsible for the sniper mission answered immediately, and Chen Chen continued to order:

"Get the vehicle ready, get on board."

"Drone, remember to keep an eye on the surrounding movements, as soon as you find a heat source, immediately report the location to the assault team!"

"Understood!"

Listening to the reply from the headset, Chen Chen took a deep breath.

"Take action in 15 seconds."

Not far away, there was still silence in the Waterfall Well Village.

But Chen Chen knew that someone had already targeted him and the Dongfeng Corps.

They were faster than he expected, and their strategies and tactics were more sophisticated and sophisticated than he expected.

Chen Chen even suspected that it was SAS or SEAL Team Six who arrived early.

In fact, this is also very likely.

——

But now I have no choice.

No matter who it is, I must tear your skin off today!

"Countdown 5 seconds."

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1"

"Go!"

"Bang!"

A signature gunshot came from the back, followed by.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion occurred in the machining plant, and the flames of the explosion rushed directly to a height of more than ten meters.

"Pay attention! Drones pay attention!"

"Sniper, keep an eye on the movements of Waterfall Well Village and see if anyone comes out!"

"Don't miss any clues, they are waiting for us."

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded again.

But this time, it was definitely not the explosion of a flare.

Gas tank cannon!

"Found it!"

"10 degrees northwest by north, 1,200 meters away, the position has been updated!"

After the voice fell, Chen Chen stood up.

"Go!"

"Go over and kill them!"
