Chapter 1572: Hidden Sniper
At 12:00 AM, an order from the military came through the wireless earpiece. The five-day battle between the two armies had begun.
After giving the order, the members of the Storm Commando Brigade, who were wearing black rubber diving suits, slid into the sea silently. They brushed their hands lightly and covered a few meters in a moment. Then, they dived into their territory like demon fish.
Armed swimming was the Storm Commando Brigade’s specialty. Because the military map was in the opposite direction, even their landing point was the opposite. Hence, they needed to swim with all their heavy equipment before they could reach the real location.
“There’s an undercurrent. Be careful.” The Water Ghost, who was in charge of reconnaissance, turned around and waved his hand in front of the underwater searchlight, reminding his teammates to be careful of being washed away by the undercurrent.
It was common for Water Ghosts to encounter undercurrents during underwater training. As long as they sent a signal, everyone would have a solution.
The Water Ghost, who was about two meters away from the surface of the sea, quickly surfaced and adjusted the three of them to swim in a group.
Although the rubber diving suit had a cold-proof function, the body was surrounded by seawater. No matter how good the cold-proof function was, the body still felt cold after swimming for half an hour.
There were still two nautical miles away from the landing point. Under Li Jinnian’s lead, Ye Jian avoided a few reefs and followed the members in front at her fastest speed.
As she was at a different landing spot from the Water Ghosts with the codename ‘Big Prawn,’ she needed to circle around the back of the island and land at the end of the horizon. After swimming two nautical miles, Li Jinnian signaled for them to split up.
He stretched out his right hand that was clenched into a fist and touched Ye Jian’s hand that was clenched into a fist as well. He made an ‘okay’ gesture and waved at Big Prawn. Ye Jian saw his slender and tall figure disappearing from her sight in the blink of an eye.
“Let’s go!” Big Prawn gestured for Ye Jian to follow his swimming path towards the landing point.
The waves on the sea were huge. Ye Jian and Big Prawn passed through the ink-like waves like dragons and reached their landing point at the designated time.
The two of them took off their breathing masks and pressed their backs against the cold rocks. They raised their heads and looked up.
The underwater lights had already been turned off. It was all thanks to their eyesight that they could tell how high they were from the landing point.
“It’s no less than six meters. It’s a granite layer, so it might be heavily weathered. The climb will take one hour.” Big Prawn lowered his head. His chest was still heaving as he said to Ye Jian, “There might be a sniper hiding above. It’s a little suspicious.”
If they could think of a landing point, the Snow Region Brigade could too.
Ye Jian, who was adjusting her breathing, smiled slyly. “The military maps we have are all problematic. In that case, the Snow Region Brigade will get the same thing as us. If we take the advantageous spot first, they will be suspicious too.”
There were always some falsehoods in combat. Both sides had witnessed each other’s strength. No one would act rashly. No one would think that they had the upper hand.
Similarly, the Snow Region Brigade felt the same way too.
The sea waves hit the rocks. The salty and cold seawater landed in her mouth. It was so salty and bitter that her facial features were distorted.
Ye Jian used her hands to climb the corroded black rock. She relied on the strength of her arms to climb to the top of the island and occupy a high defense position.
On the other side, the Storm Commando team swam ashore and completed the first step.
