CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 361 ARRANGEMENTS

The alarm instantly tensed everyone up...

Butcher picked up the radio to inquire about the location of that car, then swiftly put on his Bullet-Proof Vest and grabbed his AK-105 rifle...

When Butcher was about to call out to Pigeon to go down and drive that car away, Killing Bee held him back and gestured with his hand, "You guys don’t speak Thai, I’ll go with you..."

Saying this, Killing Bee pointed towards the sign next to the parking lot that read ’Private Property, No Trespassing,’ and said, "Let’s put up this sign, otherwise the daily alarms will drive people crazy."

Mountain Eagle activated Crow and put on Glasses and soon saw that car...

It was a Nissan hatchback, moving slowly, the windows were rolled down, and the person in the passenger seat was holding a fairly high-end camera, taking pictures along the way.

The essence of Sunset Mountain’s surrounding scenery was at the top of Sunset Mountain, but the scenery around it was also not bad.

In this situation, if the other party doesn’t carry guns, it’s hard to tell if they are tourists or people with ill intentions.

If Black Fox just wanted to be a nuisance, sending people pretending to be tourists to harass them from time to time, Mountain Eagle really didn’t have much of a solution.

Butcher intercepted the shabby Nissan with his vehicle, and after a heated argument, the Nissan driver sulkily left with his companion...

Although the process was not particularly peaceful, it was fairly smooth...

But for some reason, Mountain Eagle had a very bad feeling.

The terrain of Sunset Mountain is extremely unique...

Its only entrance is on the south side, that is, driving three kilometers on the road from the south, reaching the coffee shop on the exact west side through a winding mountain road.

And the West Side, the side bordering the sea, affected by the winding mountain road, has only the middle and lower sections where the base of the road is less than two meters high and suitable for climbing.

Further up the road, the height outside the road base reaches upwards of three meters and is very close to the coffee shop; just one person with a gun could hold that section.

Anyone with brains would not attempt an attack from the West Side, because it would be better to force an attack via the winding mountain road.

What remains are the East Slope and North Slope of Sunset Mountain...

The North Slope is relatively steep, while the East Slope is the best direction for supply...

Because Big Mouth constructed a water house below the East Slope that can filter spring water and pump it up to the Water Tower on the mountain, as well as a small generator room.

For ease of future maintenance, some trees on the East Slope were cut down, and the underbrush was cleared.

At that time, Mountain Eagle hadn’t taken over the surrounding land, and to help Mountain Eagle gain an advantage, Big Mouth built several simple walking trails on the East Slope, directly enclosing the area below the East Slope.

Theoretically, attacking Sunset Mountain by normal means, there are only two directions: via the winding mountain road and the East Slope.

However, when Mountain Eagle placed 6 Sentry Weapons at high points on the edge of the mountain top, he really couldn’t imagine how the opponent could attack without heavy weapons.

But somehow, Mountain Eagle felt somewhat jittery.

His instincts were reminding him; the enemies must have some tricks up their sleeves that he hadn’t considered.

Mountain Eagle urged Crow to keep a close eye on that car until it drove onto the road and sped off towards the town of Kamui; then Crow turned around and started a wide-range circling search with Sunset Mountain as the center, stretching a distance of 5 kilometers.

Crow even found the Red Fox Team lurking near the West Side coast but didn’t find any other suspicious targets.

This discovery put Mountain Eagle into deep thought...

The enemy must already be prepared, but Mountain Eagle didn’t know what exactly they were planning?

The sudden unease made Mountain Eagle slightly anxious; he sat on the terrace of the coffee shop, drinking beer, and chatting with Eddie and Camel, who had much more experience...

"What would you do if you were faced with attacking Sunset Mountain?"

Eddie was self-taught – he knew how things should be done but couldn’t express it systematically in language.

On the other hand, Camel, having originated from the Ranger reconnaissance squad with systematic military training, not only had rich combat experience but also solid theoretical knowledge.

Glancing at Eddie, who was using drinking to hide his embarrassment, Camel laughed and said, "Assuming I’m very familiar with the terrain of Sunset Mountain, assuming I only have light weapons to use...

Then I would let some forces attack from the front to draw attention, while letting elite squads assault from the East Slope or the more challenging North Slope to the top.

Generally, against ordinary civilian armed forces, with our equipment advantage to establish situational awareness, it’s easy for us to attack the top of the mountain."

Mountain Eagle listened, frowning and said, "What if the enemy’s personnel are not only well-equipped but also of very high quality?"

Camel looked at Mountain Eagle, laughed, and shook his head, "Mountain Eagle, your anxiety is unnecessary...

The terrain of Sunset Mountain is right here; Black Fox only has a few options to attack.

You asked me what I would do if I were Black Fox?

I can only tell you that the previous plan is the best option.

Mountain Eagle, our position is fixed, which means that the tactics available to the enemy are also limited to a few.

Our position determines that the battlefield situation is not complicated at all.

The enemy might make many clever moves in details, but in the end, they still need to reach the top to truly threaten us."

Camel looked at Mountain Eagle, who still seemed somewhat dissatisfied, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "If I were leading the Rangers, faced with Sunset Mountain, I would call for air force support.

If I were with Arctic Fox, we would definitely attack through the East Slope, using more skilled team tactics in conjunction to reach the summit.

I’m not Black Fox, but my experience tells me that, when manpower is lacking on Sunset Mountain, the East Slope is the best breakthrough point.

Don’t overcomplicate the battle, and no one can be completely prepared in advance.

We now have the terrain advantage, and five more good hands, so I believe the advantage is on our side."

What Camel said was all technically correct nonsense to Mountain Eagle. His practical experience might indeed be less than Camel’s, but if you count his experience in games, he’s been through more battles than everyone on Sunset Mountain combined.

However, although Mountain Eagle didn’t get the inspiration he wanted, he had to admit that what Camel said was right.

No matter how the opponent wants to fight, they can’t avoid the southern winding mountain road and the East Slope; the difference is only in their execution details.

What is the quality of their personnel? What equipment do they have? What kind of firepower do they have...

Mountain Eagle didn’t know any of this!

In the case of insufficient intelligence resources, it’s not very meaningful to dwell on the enemy’s execution details.

It’s better to think of the enemy as more formidable, their firepower as more ferocious, and then mentally prepare for it... that’s what he should do.

Nodding his approval of Camel’s ideas, Mountain Eagle stood up and beckoned everyone together...

Looking at the armed crowd, Mountain Eagle said seriously: "I have a bad feeling, tonight might be tough.

However, fighting is supposed to be what we do best; it doesn’t make sense that we would lose when we’re doing what we excel at.

I’m the boss, so I will assign tasks to everyone, you don’t have any objections, right?"

Mountain Eagle said this for Killing Bee to hear...

This Big Sister saw that everyone was looking at her; she shrugged her shoulders and said: "I don’t have any objections, we’re here to help, of course we’ll do whatever you ask of us."

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle pulled out a simple topographic map of Sunset Mountain and spread it on the table...

"We have a terrain advantage...

Killing Bee, along with Big Mouth and Broadcast, will guard the coffee shop garden, responsible for blocking enemies directly ahead.

Pigeon and God Stick are snipers; you go to the south side of the summit, which directly faces the road with a clear field of view, so you can attack as soon as you spot the enemy.

Measles, as a machine gunner, you also head south; after securing a high ground, you only need to move a few steps to cover a large area.

Yuliy, your leg injury hasn’t healed; you’ll be responsible for the west side of the summit, which is convenient for either supporting Killing Bee or moving to Pigeon’s side to reinforce firepower.

Butcher, Eddie, Camel will handle the East Slope...

I and Daria will act as the mobile forces, responsible for taking care of the North Slope and supporting the East Slope."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked earnestly at everyone and said: "Does anyone have any other suggestions?"

Killing Bee glanced at her comrades, stood up, and said: "That makes sense, but the enemies need to pass through a winding mountain road to get to the front of the garden...

The South Side and the North Slope are the places under the most pressure!

The pressure here is not great, let Broadcast go to the summit; if we feel the pressure here, it’s not too late for him to slide back down."

Mountain Eagle looked at Eddie and Camel, and after noticing they had no objections, he decisively nodded and said: "Then Broadcast will also go up the mountain, you’ll be responsible for pairing up with Yuliy and move dynamically depending on the situation."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle took out a large bag, pouring its contents onto the table...

Seeing Killing Bee and their surprised expressions, Mountain Eagle said: "We need to standardize communication. Night vision goggles are also essential for night combat.

Put away your civilian gear and switch to these..."

Broadcast picked up a tactical helmet with dual-tube night vision goggles and inspected it carefully...

On the front of the helmet was the night vision device, a tactical headlamp on the right side, a small IR identification light and batteries on the back, and audio pickup headphones on both sides that could connect to a radio.

Broadcast put the helmet on his head to feel it out and remarked emotively: "If this thing is the real deal, even a year of my mercenary income combined wouldn’t be enough to afford it."

Broadcast then picked up a holographic red dot sight with low-light night vision capabilities and a small conch-scope commonly used by the Marine Corps, smacking his lips and said: "The kind of people who can afford this stuff, what do they need to be mercenaries for?

One set of this gear could hire a hundred Myanmar Madmen to fight wars!

Boss Eagle, come on, could you please equip our guns too? My AK just doesn’t match up to this thing.

FUCK, Killing Bee, with this gear upgrade, can we start charging more for our services from now on?"

While Broadcast was cracking jokes, Sofia frowned and tugged at Mountain Eagle’s arm, and said: "What can I do?"

Mountain Eagle isn’t the type of guy who subscribes to macho pride: if his subordinates are willing, he’s more than happy to give them a chance to shine.

Of course, it’s not possible for Sofia to participate in front-line combat, but asking her to do something else was well within her capabilities.

So Mountain Eagle nodded and said: "Shasili and Mr. Poincaré will stay in the coffee shop; it’s safer there.

You, and Marta, come with me..."
