Chapter 98 Ambush Plan and Broadsword Mine [Quest for Pursuit I]
Of course, ideas are always good.
Whether it can be implemented smoothly depends on the actual situation.
Judging from Chen Xuan's strategic arrangements, recruiting a group of talents from Naroa is also part of the plan.
After he thought for a while, Ophelia took the initiative to break the silence.
"Master, those guys are still following me..."
"At least three experienced senior scouts."
"My actions are all under their surveillance!"
Chen Xuan frowned. The half-elf eldest lady was the one he was currently walking. Agent in the city.
Many things need to be done by her.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ophelia attracted a lot of looks and peeps that should have been borne by him.
The business in the city is like a big cake. When he wants to enter and dine, he will inevitably encounter various resistances.
Including the death of Harward, the conspiracy of stepmother Yusula, and the changes in the Axl family, they were all essentially caused by his attempt to expand the scale of business.
This is the source of everything, the real catalyst and trigger.
If Ophelia was still the silly sweet girl she was before, perhaps these hidden dangers of contradiction would still exist, but there would certainly not be drastic changes in such a short period of time.
In the final analysis, it was Chen who caused the butterfly to flap its wings and the lava to erupt prematurely.
"Master...are you listening?"
After another brief silence, Ophelia asked timidly.
"Don't stay at the bathing beach."
"Find a secluded, open place to deal with those guys." "
Tell us the place in advance, and I will lead people to the scene first." "
You can arrive later, but be sure to pay attention And stay away from the small red dot marks..."
"It's best to lead the enemy to the place with the marks."
Chen Xuan's words gave her a shot in the arm.
At least let her know that she is not helpless.
Speaking of which, Ophelia's current situation is also very embarrassing. She is in a situation where her grandma doesn't care and her uncle doesn't love her.
The role played by the father, Ansetus, is like a tool man.
He is obviously a shrewd character who can run the business group, but he seems quite insensitive in many aspects. Ophelia sometimes feels that her father seems to be worrying about and avoiding something.
The stepmother Ursula has hidden intrigues, and her combination with Ansetus is more like a hasty decision. However, after the red-haired Walton family paved the way for the Colchicum merchant group, the nature of many things happened again changed.
One can imagine the situation faced by the half-elf lady who became Ah Xuan's talker and was caught between the two parties.
Chen Xuan believed that the arrangement for conquering the Iron Knight could be passed on later, and Ophelia's problem must be solved immediately.
In a single room at the Water Spirit Bathhouse.
After ending the intercom communication, Ophelia's expression returned to a relatively calm state from her original anxiety.
Quickly walking out of the single room, she went to the front desk of the bathhouse and picked up the weapons she had stored.
Then he came to the stables and rode his bicycle, heading towards the northern part of the city in a leisurely manner.
Along the way, we stopped from time to time to buy snacks and pause for a while.
It looks like relaxing in leisure time.
The three scouts disappeared into the crowd, still following them in an intimidating manner.
...
In the cellar where Chen Xuan stores arms.
Relying on his bronze-level magic cultivation, he found the target he needed according to the English markings on the weapon box.
It was a box of M18A1 Broadsword mines.
This is a classic mine from the Bald Eagle family, especially suitable for jungle and mountain environments.
It looks like a curved box, roughly the size of a military kettle. The curved
side is marked with three words in capital letters:
"FRONT TOWARD ENEMY"
(front facing the enemy)
. In terms of actual combat performance, the M18A1 The broadsword mine is perfect.
There are corresponding solutions to various deficiencies in the previous generation model reported by the military.
In order to increase the power, the designers replaced the original TNT explosive with a more powerful C4 explosive - this ensured that the steel balls had a higher speed and a larger killing area.
As for the power supply problem, the designer not only installed the battery, but also added an M57 pulse ignition machine. The latter is essentially a small power generation device. As long as the handle is pressed three times in a row, it can generate a voltage of 3 volts, which is enough to detonate a mine. electric detonator.
At the same time, there is also a magical supercharging device, which ensures that the mines can be detonated in series.
As for the casing, the M18A1 uses engineering plastic reinforced with fiberglass (composite material), which reduces the risk of failure and malfunction.
In fact, you won't even find a spare part on this mine.
Just above the casing is an aiming hole.
The two sides of the aiming hole are the locations of the detonators.
There are also two pairs of scissor-shaped brackets installed under the thunder shell. They are simple and sturdy, making it easy to fix in the field.
The real secret is hidden inside the shell.
The front of the mine body is equipped with 700 steel balls with a total weight of 650 grams, and the back is 650 grams of C4 explosive!
As long as the mine is detonated, within a range of 60-120 degrees from its front, dense raindrops of steel balls can effectively kill enemies within a range of 50-100 meters.
It is precisely because of its huge destructive power that this kind of landmine quickly earned a nickname - "Broad Sword".
This means that the mine's destructive power is like a giant's broadsword sweeping across.
The M18A1 mine can be detonated manually, or it can be triggered by using various pulling, tripping, and pressing devices, or it can be used alone.
Several mines can even be connected in parallel to form a mine array.
For the Karen ethnic armed forces, which spend most of their time fighting in jungle environments.
Broadsword mines are essential weapons and equipment.
Moreover, the abuse of landmines in Myanmar is quite high.
In July 2022, Myanmar’s military and police government was also accused by Amnesty for the “improper use” of landmines.
Going back to 2017, it became the "only" country in the world to use landmines.
Of course, this only statement must be in quotation marks, but it also proves how widespread landmines are in Myanmar.
This batch of M18A1 broadsword mines are all modified models.
The main detonation method is manual operation.
An electric detonator was installed in the detonator chamber.
At the same time, the leg wire of the electric detonator is led out from the wire hole on the top of the detonator chamber.
Then connect the wire to the pin of the electric detonator, and finally connect it to the pulse igniter.
These mines abandon the detonation methods of pressure sensitivity and trip wires, and all use radio pulse ignition.
The maximum control distance is 600 meters, and each broadsword mine is equipped with a matching igniter.
In theory, this mine can be DIYed again, changed to multiple explosions or restored to the detonation method of trip trigger and pressure-sensitive trigger.
However, Chen Xuan has no intention of changing them. Radio detonation is safer for him.
Among the ordnance in the cellar, there are four boxes of M18A1 broadsword mines alone!
Now, finally, it's time for them to come in handy.
Chen Xuan is preparing for an ambush, and the broad sword will definitely make the enemy taste the bitter consequences.
He took out fifty of the mines and put them into the storage compartment, and then added some other matching ammunition.
After everything is ready, put on the body armor, black and gray pockets and tactical glasses.
Rebecca was similarly dressed and gearing up.
The two Dora sisters also wore an extra face-covering cloth scarf around their necks at Chen Xuan's request.
In this case, just wearing a hood and matching tactical goggles can completely block their faces.
When he killed "One-Eyed Cow" Henry last time, Chen Xuan just flashed back with them.
After all, Stinky Rat Alley is not too far from the rented courtyard.
But this time it was different. The ambush location Ophelia chose was on the outskirts of the North District.
There was a shantytown there that had suffered a fire not long ago.
The violent and out-of-control flames burned down nearly half of the street, creating a deserted and neglected area.
After everything was ready, the four of them were ready to set off.
In addition to the 28-bar bicycle that Rebecca usually rides, Chen Xuan also has one in his storage compartment.
This is the perfect time to set off in groups of two.
Little Nick, who had just had sex, stood by the door of the side room, watching them leave with envy in his eyes, and then closed the courtyard door.
In the eyes of the Naloa natives, goggles are strange and cool visors.
...
Ophelia walked up and down, estimating the time it would take for her master to reach the ambush site.
She was holding a red fruit in her hand, leaning against the bicycle and eating it.
The juice from the fruit dripped onto the hard road surface, quickly attracting a bunch of ants in front of it.
Behind a corner not far away, several sneaky figures were discussing in low voices.
"Her behavior today is very unusual!"
"She just went to the water elf bathhouse on purpose."
One of the young male scouts wearing a black cloth hat and scarf whispered.
Standing next to him was a short-haired human female scout. She was wearing leather armor and short leather pants. She had a rose entwined with a poisonous snake tattooed on the back of her hand, and there were dense earrings on the edges of her ears.
The corners of her eyes are thickly smeared with eye shadow, giving her a Blue Star non-mainstream "cultural resurgence" look.
When this guy heard the cloth-hatted scout's words, he immediately sneered.
She raised her hand and touched his cheek frivolously.
"Tch!"
"Hmph!"
"Marcello, you stupid boy."
"That half-elf girl has discovered us a long time ago." "
Last time in Naraya, we took the monster dog with us, but this time we went to the bathhouse."
" She is a smart guy!"
"Don't mind these nosy things. Our employer just asked us to keep an eye on her and record her schedule. It doesn't matter even if she finds us." The
young scout curled his lips and followed the female scout's arm . Caught her.
"Dear Marisol, after this commission is over, we can have a good drink." "
Just like that wonderful night."
The two figures were still discussing the mission objectives, but they became entangled without knowing it. together.
The sound of breathing during exercise sounded from the corner behind the wall.
"Hell!"
"Both of you should be tied to the stake and burned to death!"
"Marisole, Marcelo! This is not a love hotel, watch your behavior!"
Just as the two were about to have a fight. At this time, a discordant sound appeared.
I saw a short figure changing from faint to clear.
It was actually a rare halfling scout.
You must know that halflings are affected by ethnic characteristics, and their combat prowess at the same level can be said to be that of younger brothers.
The reason why he can become a senior scout is that this guy masters a second-level stealth magic skill!
With only a few seconds of preparation, the halfling scout's body can transform into a state of indistinctness that is imperceptible to the naked eye.
Although there is still a big gap between it and true invisibility.
But it also makes his tracking and assassination invincible.
"You're such a noisy, short deformity!"
"Can't you wait for me to finish the good thing first?"
Seeing the attitude of the two men, the halfling scout jumped up angrily.
"That half-elf girl is back on the road!"
...
Chen Xuan and the other four arrived at the burned-out streets in the North District first.
Looking at the large area of dark ruins in front of him and the silent and deserted environment around him, he nodded silently.
"Ophelia has chosen a good place."
The territory here is large enough, and the ruins environment is also relatively complex.
It is surrounded by other shantytowns.
Various earthen walls, debris and sheds that appear to be spliced together form a relatively isolated environment.
It is one of the few places in the city suitable for killing people and selling goods.
He first took out a can of red spray paint from the storage compartment, and then selected a site suitable for laying mines and fighting.
To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan arranged three mine points, which could be detonated remotely using different igniters.
He used red spray paint to leave palm-sized red dots on the black wall at eye-catching locations outside each mine spot.
After being prepared and hiding the bicycle, Chen Xuan asked the three women to hide in the ruins in different directions.
Each looks for a hidden corner.
He himself was lying behind a broken wall with a slightly higher terrain.
He took out the SSG69 sniper rifle, opened the front bracket, and aimed at the area ahead through the magnifying glass.
…
Ophelia, who rode a bicycle into the northern district of Magatan City, always maintained a high degree of vigilance.
In order to avoid suspicion from the followers behind her, she deliberately walked around the slum streets in the North District several times, creating the illusion that she was meeting someone.
According to the other party's posture, he will definitely not miss every part of her journey.
When the time was right, she rode to the agreed location.
Without sending a signal in a hurry, Ophelia wandered around the ruins for a while, confirming the red dot marks before stopping at a suitable place.
Parking her bicycle next to the low wall, she faced the marked point and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Stop hiding, come out!"
"I have already discovered your traces!"
"Since you don't care, why don't you come out and meet us?"
There was no movement in the surrounding ruins, and the other party was not so complacent.
After waiting for a moment, Ophelia raised her eyebrows and took out a money bag from her arms.
A few dark gold coins were poured out.
Since communication is useless, it’s better to simply lay heavy bait.
No matter who sent the other party, they can't resist the temptation of money.
If there was really no shortage of money, the scouts following her would not be other people's hawks.
This trick really works.
There was a figure in front of her and to her side, jumping high on the ruins!
...
If nothing else, there will be two more updates today
