Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the era of hot weapons, night combat was once a weapon for the weaker side.  Because fighting under the cover of night can effectively reduce the hit rate of both sides, bringing the stronger side down to the same dark disadvantages as the weaker side.

    But with the advancement of science and technology, the side with advanced night vision technology has realized one-way transparency in the dark, and another kind of asymmetric advantage is presented on the battlefield.

    The "Night Owl" unit is a night fighting unit among Lin Rui's mercenary units.  The unit was established during the Russian Division of the Black Island Company.  It is a light infantry unit specially formed to deal with high-intensity night operations.

    It has the characteristics of light equipment and fine personnel, and is very suitable for fighting in special terrain and weather conditions.  Especially good at night fighting.  When this force was first established, in terms of personnel and weapons, it was geared toward a force that was good at street fighting and guerrilla warfare.

    The scale is equivalent to the personnel of three infantry companies, with a total of more than 500 people. In addition to the AK series assault rifles, the main equipment also includes M-203 grenade launchers and general-purpose machine guns.

    In terms of infantry support weapons, there are also Dragon anti-tank missile launchers, TOW anti-tank missile launchers, and 60mm mortars.  Equipped with a high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle.  This force was originally used to provide emergency operations and regional defense for some African countries.

    Therefore, each soldier is issued with infrared night vision goggles, weapon night sighting systems and other night combat equipment, which provides effective guarantee for the department to carry out night combat missions.

    Lin Rui believes that although mercenaries have combat experience and strong individual capabilities, they are relatively small in number, so they do not have an advantage when facing the militants' human sea tactics during the day.

    ¡°And because of the special circumstances in Africa, many militants are mixed in with the general population and difficult to detect. Moreover, they are very familiar with the local terrain and are good at fighting and hiding.

    At night, these militants lack necessary night vision equipment, and the battlefield is one-way transparent to this mercenary force.  It helps them win by surprise.

    Therefore, some targeted target clearing and encirclement and suppression operations are often carried out at night.  This night owl troop also got its name.  After these experienced mercenary warriors undergo targeted training such as running in the dark, breaking out, searching, and supporting, they are familiar with the night fighting environment and master night fighting skills, and are often able to gain an advantage in confrontations with armed elements.

    In addition, this unit can use comprehensive integration of information systems to effectively link all equipment-related systems with the command and control system, forming a complete command link with the headquarters, which can timely guide the mobile movement, intelligence sharing, and firepower of each unit.  Strike etc.

    The use of distributed thermal imaging cameras, low-light night vision devices and other sighting equipment has significantly improved the ability of various types of direct-aimed firearms to accurately capture targets and strike accurately at night.  For ordinary militants, it's like the sighted beating the blind.

    But according to intelligence, the opponent¡¯s troops are the Orumi capital garrison.  This is one of the best-equipped troops in the entire Orumi Federation Army, except for the armed forces directly under the Secret Society.  Judging from the opponent's artillery fire at night, Lin Rui suspected that at least their artillery also had night vision equipment.

    Taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Rui led his troops to move their positions and circled to the flank of position 3.  There have been many offensives launched here during the day, but the thunder was loud and the rain was light.  It has been considered by the enemy as a feint attack point.

    Now, Lin Rui wants to turn this feint point of attack into the main point of attack.  He led his troops through the position, advancing from several directions.  It was quiet and dark.  Not even the chirping of insects can be heard.

    "It's too quiet, I don't like it," Kuai Ma said, shaking his head.  Lin Rui nodded seriously under the gray image of the night vision device.  Ordered to stop advancing, their attack team quietly crawled around a corner.

    "Scarface's second team should be in place now." Sergey said in a low voice.

    The entire march was conducted in their absolute silence.  The last news they got was that the second team and the third team arrived at the predetermined location and then split up.

    Now they must wait for Scarface and Sausage to report the whereabouts of their respective troops to Lin Rui.  But time passed by in their anxiety, and there was no news.

    "There are enemiesthey are coming." A mercenary on guard held his breath and whispered.

    Lin Rui stared ahead through the night vision goggles, his eyes stern, and asked the mercenaries to stay quiet with gestures.  Two cars came over, probably because they were afraid of being exposed, so they didn't have their headlights on, and the engine noise was also very low.

    A group of Orumi federal soldiers in the car watched for a while before driving away.  It should be a routine patrol.

    "Damn, maybe something happened to them," Sergei whispered, "Scarface has wounds on his body, and this guy Sausage is a little bitunreliable¡ª¡ª"

    "Shh! Don't talk, listen!" Lin Rui made a gesture and pressed his ears tightly against the communication crest of China Unicom's helmet.  "Listen!" He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

    A row of weak voices rang in the communicator.  It was tapping the receiver with your finger, making a slight clicking sound.  This is a signal that it is safe, but the enemy is nearby and cannot communicate normally.

    "What does this mean? According to the plan, there should be no enemies where they are. Where are they currently?" Kuai Ma said in a low voice.

    "I don't know," Lin Rui thought for a moment and said slowly, "They should be safe, but there should be a large number of enemy troops there, otherwise they wouldn't be like this."

    "We have to go to them." Sergey said without thinking.  The others were a little confused by what he said, but soon they understood what he meant.

    "The Russian guy has a point." Kuai Ma said in a low voice.  "We have to help them. Both Sausage and Scarface need help. This is a collaborative operation. Once they are stuck there and can't move, we can't do it alone."

    Lin Rui shook his head, "No, we cannot enter that area unless it is absolutely necessary. We should continue to wait for news from them and make all preparations.

    I feel they are safe and do not need our help.  The lack of gunshots meant they hadn't been discovered yet.  They should be able to think of a solution on their own, and I think they just have temporary communication difficulties. Wait a few minutes and they should take the initiative to reply to us.  We cannot act hastily now.  Let all brothers be on standby and pay attention to concealment.  "

    "That's the only way!" Kuai Ma nodded, then he looked at Lin Rui and asked in a low voice, "They encountered enemy troops over there. This was something we had not foreseen before - we had always thought that they were  The direction is safe. What now?"

    ¡°No need to do anything, just wait a few more minutes and they will contact us once they are safe.¡± Lin Rui nodded.

    Sure enough, after waiting for a few minutes, reports from the second and third teams came through their communication headsets.
