Chapter 668 Under the Eyes of the Enemy

On the first day when he entered the mountain, Li Mu noticed the hump about 500 meters away from the camp. The two flatter mountain tops were close together, resembling a camel's back.On military maps, this camel's back was named Highland 395 and Highland 399.

Highland 395 faces the mountain road, and the mountain road happens to have a ninety-degree corner there.All you need to do is set up a heavy machine gun position on Highland 395 to cut off the mountain road in the middle.A straight-line distance of only about 300 meters is not a problem at all for heavy machine guns.

In other words, in an offensive and defensive battle, if either side occupies Highland 395, it can effectively curb the opponent's movements, which is almost equivalent to strangling the opponent's neck.

In comparison, Highland 399, which faces the rolling hills, is of little significance.

Because the heights of the two highlands are almost the same, they can restrict each other. Taking the 395 highlands is equivalent to taking the nearby 399 highlands at the same time.

So, Li Mu headed straight for Highland 395. It took them half an hour to reach the highland through the roadless mountains and forests.

"This is a natural blocking position. It is condescending and there are no obstacles around. A heavy machine gun can control the road and the hills on both sides." After just a glance, Xu Yan couldn't help but cheer.

Only on high ground can you fully understand the situation.

Before coming up, Li Mu thought that Highland 395 could only control the highway to the southeast, so when he climbed up to the high ground and looked northeast, he couldn't help but secretly gasp.

Seeing Li Mu standing on the stone on the edge of the highland, Xu Yan strode over. Zhao Xu and He Shifeng also followed after seeing this.

They were about to speak, but after looking forward, they all gasped and stopped talking.

But seeing that the valley where the camp is located is clearly in front of them, these people are all experienced officers, and they can calculate the approximate distance with a little visual inspection - the straight-line distance is definitely not more than 500 meters.He Shifeng was still afraid of errors, so he raised his thumbs up and measured it, and it was almost accurate to about 450 meters.

In other words, all you need is a high-precision telescope to have a panoramic view of everything going on in the valley.

Of course, the camouflaged camp basically blends into the environment, but experienced people can still tell that it is a camp through some details.The smoke from the cooking classes alone could expose the entire camp.In daily life and training, it is impossible to achieve 100% concealment.

Even, if conditions permit, all it takes is a drone sold on a certain website, and a skilled operator can quietly take photos of many movements in the camp in a day's work.

Soon, Li Mu discovered the problem.

The reason why it is difficult to see Highland 395 in the camp is because of the background color. In the distance behind Highland 395 are higher and more massive peaks, and Highland 395 is lost in its background.

"Fortunately, we discovered it in time. Otherwise, when all kinds of new equipment are put in place, there will be no secrets left in the camp." Xu Yan said with a smile.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Search the high ground to see if there are any traces of other people's activities before us."

The remaining three people quickly dispersed. Weeds and trees grew in disorder on the high ground, which was not small in size. It was easy to leave traces of their activities and also cover them.

At this time, the remaining two teams sent back reports one after another. After each inspection of a small area, the team leader would report to Li Mu in accordance with regulations. If any problems were found, he would report them. If no problems were found, he would report them and make a record.

Li Mu looked at the road they took up. It should be said that it was not a road, but a trace left by forcibly passing through the woods and bushes growing on the mountain.The vegetation in the mountains and hills is not as dense as that in the tropical jungles, but the terrain in the mountains and hills is more complex, with high and low pits and pits, covered with vegetation, which is difficult to see with the naked eye.

It's fine during the day, but at night, even with the help of night vision goggles, it's still very dangerous.

Secretly, Li Mu made a plan in his mind. Personnel must be arranged to stand guard at Highland 395. Not only can the camp be observed here, but the road can also be guarded.Any vehicle personnel who want to approach the camp must pass through the 395-degree corner facing Highland [-], unless they are professionals who sneak in from other directions.

As for the night, the sentry is not necessary.

But one thing is certain. Before the good news comes from the Ministry of Security, someone must be stationed on Highland 395 during the day to act as an observation post for the camp.If possible in the future, a battlefield monitor can be hidden here so that no disturbance in the surrounding area can escape surveillance.

"Old... Chief Wei! There is a problem here!" Zhao Xu suddenly shouted softly.

He prepared to call Lao Li out of habit, but finally stopped abruptly and replaced him with the guard.No matter how good the relationship was before, now it is a superior-subordinate relationship, and it must be done in accordance with discipline.

Li Mu hurried over after hearing this, and Xu Yan and He Shifeng also hurried over.

Zhao Xu squatted on the edge of the highland and stared at the grass on the surface. This is the northwest side of the highland. To the north is the 399 highland. There is a mountain col in the middle, which is the recess in front of the camel's twin humps.

"Look at this piece of land, it seems to have been scratched by something hard." Zhao Xu pointed at the grass in front of him and said.

He Shifeng took a look and saw that there was an almost knife-shaped cliff below. He immediately said, "This is a cliff. Look at the angle and smoothness."

The implication is that it is impossible for anyone to climb up from here.

They are all smart people, so there is no need to explain.Xu Yan also noticed that the traces found by Zhao Xu were very similar to those found on mountain climbers.

Li Mu knelt down and took a closer look, turned over the grass, and said, "Looking at the traces, it shouldn't be long ago. The soil is still very new."

Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat, "Did someone come up yesterday?"

"Eighty percent."

Li Mu walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. As He Shifeng said, this cliff is indeed very steep and the surface is very smooth. To use an adjective, it is estimated that nothing can climb up from below except geckos.The cliff is not deep, about ten meters, and below it is a relatively gentle mountain. Li Mu and the others climbed up from there just now, but they chose to climb up in circles around the top of the mountain. Not only is the distance longer, but it also takes more time. Also multiples.

"Can't the special forces climb up? The scratches are not deep, and there are no obvious drag marks. There is no way to use force." He Shifeng said, pulling at the grass.

As expected of a master of training, his analysis is not unreasonable.

Li Mu observed it carefully again and said, "There are traces of dragging, but they are very light. They must have been dealt with. And..."

He Shifeng also frowned and started thinking.

To borrow strength, the climbing grip must be firm. It is difficult to support the climbing strength of an adult just by gripping the ground.Of course, he would not stubbornly determine the facts when things were not in line with common sense.

Li Mu frowned and looked around, and suddenly thought of something. He glanced down at the almost invisible drag marks, and then walked quickly towards the woods in the middle of the highland.

The others quickly followed.

Soon, Li Mu pointed to a thigh-thick tree trunk and said, "Here."

When everyone took a look, sure enough, there were obvious scratches on the tree trunk. The bark had been scratched off, revealing the forest white inside. The scratches were deep, there were three, and they were undoubtedly made by climbing claws.

Several people looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

"Our camp has been under the nose of the enemy."
