This time, Ren Xiaosu did not make "Old Xu" wear any clothes or a mask. Instead, it completely blended into the night with Old Xu's black shadow.
This sounded a little strange, but when they quickly infiltrated the forest, Old Xu's black shadow was the best camouflage color.
When "Old Xu" was shuttling through the forest, it was covered by the shadows. If one did not get close and look carefully, they might not even be able to discover "Old Xu".
Moreover, "Old Xu" did not need to breathe or sweat. Even the most experienced hunter in the world would not be able to discover it through their sense of smell.
Perhaps the barbarians would not have expected there to be such a suitable ability for reconnaissance in this world.
Of course, it was not that no one had discovered "Old Xu" at all. Some of the hidden sentries were a little unexpected. Ren Xiaosu had to lead the team and control "Old Xu" at the same time. If he was slightly distracted, he might run into the hidden sentries.
But this was not a big deal. As long as they killed the hidden sentries, no one would discover "Old Xu," right?
Ren Xiaosu did not directly control "Old Xu" to start a massacre. If the main forces of the expeditionary army were to be attracted, the recon company soldiers behind him would probably be in danger.
If it were any other time, Ren Xiaosu would not mind what happened to these strangers. But wasn't he trying to get P5092 to go to the Northwest of Daxing? He had to show him the strength of the people from the Northwest. What kind of ability was it to complete the mission if everyone died? How embarrassing!
At this moment, the recon company soldiers realized Ren Xiaosu was not even wearing his night vision goggles. They did not know how he could see the situation in the forest so clearly.
Moreover, this young man could still run very fast in the forest without any night vision goggles.
"To the right." Ren Xiaosu suddenly turned right. "There's an ambush ahead. Don't go over there, follow me!"
The recon company soldiers behind him looked at each other. What ambush? Why did they not see anything? Were they blind?!
T 40219 asked in confusion on the radio, "Sir, did you make a mistake? We didn't see anything."
As he spoke, he even used his night vision goggles to take a look but did not discover any ambushes in the forest ahead.
Ren Xiaosu said, "I don't have time to explain to you. Just follow me."
Following that, Ren Xiaosu led the recon company on a huge detour through the forest. This detour would probably take them nearly two kilometers to reach their destination.
Then, he suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "We've already circled to their rear. The other units, maintain communication silence. Listen to my command and slowly approach them now."
T 40219 was confused. Get close to them? He didn't even see the other person's shadow, so who was he approaching?
The recon company followed Ren Xiaosu and quietly moved forward. Ren Xiaosu said in a low voice, "Alright, we are now downwind. Bring 40 soldiers forward."
'40' was how the military referred to the 40mm grenade launcher. Ren Xiaosu's intention was for every platoon of soldiers who were equipped with grenade launchers to come over.
When these people came to his side, Ren Xiaosu crouched behind the bushes and pointed in a direction. "You, you, you. Fire in that direction. It's 200 meters away."
T 40219 hurriedly looked in that direction but still did not see anything.
"Sir!" T 40219 pulled Ren Xiaosu back and said, "Don't we need to scout the surroundings? There's bound to be linked troops around here. If we alert them, we might get surrounded."
Ren Xiaosu waved it off. "Don't worry, there aren't any more hidden sentries around here."
That was because those hidden sentries had already been quietly taken care of by "Old Xu." This was also the reason why Ren Xiaosu had led them in a big circle. They did not have to take such a long detour, but wasn't it because Ren Xiaosu did not want them to see the corpses that "Old Xu" had killed?
Then Ren Xiaosu pointed in another direction. "You, you, you. Fire in that direction! 170 meters! Alright, listen to my command and fire! "
Although the soldiers did not know what was going on and could only see the pitch-black forest in front of them, soldiers were supposed to follow orders in battle and did not need to have too many opinions of their own.
The next moment, the six of them pulled the triggers of their grenade launchers at the same time. The grenades flew out of the barrels and left a smoky trail in the air.
With a few rumbles, the forest over there was suddenly illuminated by the flames. It was only at this moment that T 40219 could finally see clearly that the barbarians were all lying in the bushes with their turf draped over their bodies!
If it were not for Ren Xiaosu's directions and they had followed their original plan, they would definitely have encountered the barbarians. Moreover, it would have been very late for them to discover the barbarians. This meant that they would have to fight them in close combat!
At that time, it would be lucky for the recon company to have a few dozen people left.
At this moment, the six howitzers accurately hit the positions that Ren Xiaosu had pointed out. In an instant, the dozens of barbarians hiding in the forest were all blown up.
Ren Xiaosu was the first to rush out. "Cover fire. We'll quickly reap the battlefield. Don't leave a single one alive!"
T 40219 added, "Fourth Platoon, cover the rear. Stay alert!"
Six howitzers were not enough to kill all the barbarians. Ren Xiaosu's intention was to make the power of the howitzers envelop all the barbarians within the range of their firepower so that they would be affected by the explosion.
After the explosion, the barbarians who were still alive would also temporarily lose their hearing, their organs would be dislocated, and their vision would become blurry.
They would no longer be able to make use of their physical advantages.
Ren Xiaosu raised his gun and charged forward. T 40219 and the others who were following behind him could barely keep up with his pace. For the soldiers of the recon company, they could only listen to Ren Xiaosu's continuous firing.
Under normal circumstances, everyone was more used to aiming their guns when they were within a range of 100 meters. This way, their accuracy would be greatly improved. After all, Ren Xiaosu had instructed them to shoot the barbarians in the eyes and had even given a good demonstration.
But now, when they were within 100 meters of the barbarians, the barbarians were all dead.
T 40219 looked at the barbarians whose eyes had exploded and sighed in his heart. They really had no sense of participation at all.
The normal course of battle was for Ren Xiaosu to lead them around the rear and then let them fire the six howitzers. After that, they would follow Ren Xiaosu and watch the barbarians perform.
Although everyone fired their guns, they were just suppressing the barbarians with inaccurate firepower.
T 40219 suddenly wondered, Why am I here?
Right, the commanding officer had instructed me that my mission this time is to protect this guy.
But does this guy even need someone to protect him? Who's going to protect who?
The recon company had always been the most elite unit in the 3rd Division. Even their training was done individually, and they were often the ones who beat up the other units when the whole army competed.
But now, for the first time, T 40219 felt that he might be a burden.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at the battlefield. "Alright, we're done with the reaping. Follow me!"
