Water Bandits, naturally, travel by Water.
The waterways around Kaiyuan County are quite complex, which is one reason for the proliferation of Water Bandits.
Compared to the Kaiyuan County government's strength on land, they are relatively weaker on Water.
However, now the entire Kaiyuan County has been controlled by Rosen.
How could Rosen possibly let go of the blockade on Water?
From the moment the Water Bandits entered Kaiyuan County, they were discovered by Rosen.
Leading the team at this moment is Luo Wen, a 001-level graduate.
Luo Wen was adopted at the age of 12, and she underwent three years of study and training in the learning camp.
Here, she never had to worry about not having enough to eat or warm clothes.
Rosen and Luo Mingyue provided them with the best living conditions.
They learned knowledge that surpassed this era.
Luo Wen graduated in three years, completing a curriculum originally set for six years.
Furthermore, her overall performance was the best among the 001-level students.
100 points in liberal arts, 100 points in science, 95 points in martial arts, and 100 points in military studies.
Therefore, she was assigned to the Marine and became the Captain of the first assault squad.
She commanded twenty men, each equipped with the most advanced weaponry.
"Hello, hello… Captain, can you hear me? This is Luo Lin."
"I hear you. Report the situation."
"Captain, there are fifty-eight Water Bandits in total, all using cold weapons. They have already landed at the reed mouth and are currently moving towards Baishan Road."
"We will set up an ambush on Baishan Road. You continue to track and monitor, but don't get too close to avoid being caught in the crossfire," Luo Wen said.
"Understood."
Luo Wen immediately made arrangements: "Luo Yuan, you lead a five-person squad to set up an ambush on the left side. Luo Bing, you lead a five-person squad to set up an ambush on the right side. I will lead a five-person squad to block them head-on at the intersection. Everyone maintain fan-shaped firing. Do not excessively widen the attack range to avoid friendly fire. Luo Shi, you are responsible for the long-range sniper squad, providing long-range protection and also preventing any fish from slipping through the net. Now, check everyone's weapons and equipment to ensure no problems arise."
"Now, you can go to your respective ambush points to prepare."
As they finished preparing their ambush points, Luo Lin sent another message.
"Captain, the Water Bandits have entered Baishan Road."
"Understood, we have set up an ambush in the middle section of Baishan Road. Do not approach the middle section."
Through Luo Wen's night vision device, the thermal imaging figures of the Water Bandits had already appeared.
"All squads prepare. Commence fire coverage when the distance is 100 meters."
"The enemy is now 800 meters away."
"The enemy is now 600 meters away."
"The enemy is now 500 meters away."
"The enemy is now 200 meters away."
"The enemy is now 120 meters away."
"Prepare! Free fire, repeat, free fire."
Da da da da —
In an instant, countless tongues of Fire suddenly erupted from both sides and directly in front of Baishan Road.
Countless bullets wove into a large net, covering all enemies within firing range.
The Water Bandits immediately fell into chaos, and large numbers of them were shot full of holes like a hornet's nest.
After the initial panic, some Water Bandits fled, while others lay on the ground.
These Water Bandits had never faced such terrifying enemies before.
It wasn't as if they hadn't encountered government suppression in the past.
But everyone used swords and blades to fight, and they had never faced this kind of firepower suppression.
And there were snipers hundreds of meters away; their precision kills were even more terrifying.
Once hit by a sniper rifle, death was certain.
The powerful kinetic energy of a sniper rifle bullet could destroy all flesh and blood tissue.
Especially when hitting the body or head, it was like the body suddenly exploding.
"Cease fire!" Luo Wen ordered.
At this moment, there were no Water Bandits standing on the road surface of Baishan Road.
However, it was not ruled out that they were lying on the ground to dodge bullets, or playing dead.
And some of those who had just died still had body heat, so the thermal imager could not fully determine who was playing dead.
"Luo Yuan's squad, throw grenades."
Boom boom boom —
As expected, a dozen Water Bandits who were playing dead immediately jumped up and frantically fled.
But these dozen fleeing Water Bandits were shot full of holes in an instant.
The leader of the Water Bandits, whose bandit name was Water Ghost, was still lying on the ground playing dead.
He had seen the Divine Machine Battalion of the Great Ming imperial army, but even they did not possess such fierce combat power.
He knew he was definitely done for this time, and now he only hoped that playing dead on the ground would allow him to escape this calamity.
A few minutes later, strange-looking figures emerged from both sides of the road, their faces protruding and their eyes glowing Red.
Water Ghost was scared pale, his body trembling uncontrollably.
As expected, they weren't living people; how could living people be so terrifying?
These figures were probably not mountain spirits or wild monsters, were they?
Little did he know that these 'mountain spirits and wild monsters' in his eyes were actually wearing thermal imaging devices.
He dared not move even more now, but his slight trembling betrayed him.
As the surrounding corpses gradually cooled, his body became particularly obvious.
"Get up! Stop playing dead!"
Luo Wen shouted, but Water Ghost still kept his head down, not daring to move.
But the next moment, a heavy kick landed on his abdomen.
"Get up, if you don't get up, I'll beat you to death."
Water Ghost finally realized he had been discovered and hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting, "Don't eat me, don't eat me…"
This battle resulted in zero casualties, with 52 enemies annihilated and 6 captured.
Water Ghost and all the captured Water Bandits were sent to the mining area to dig.
These captives were undoubtedly the best laborers; they were strong and sturdy, and there was no need to feel bad for them, it was fine to grind them hard.
