Peering through the binoculars, the distant scenery appeared clearly as if it were right before his eyes, with the occasional round dome of steel helmets passing through the smoke-filled trenches.
At a distance of a full 400 meters away from this trench was a concealed thicket situated at a higher elevation than the surrounding terrain, offering an excellent vantage point for observing any movement in the vicinity.
Two days ago, this location had already been modified; beneath the thicket lay a small trench which extended to an opposite slope on the other side, allowing for a swift retreat through this path by anyone in the trench.
Inside this small shelter, a lookout was vigilantly scanning the surroundings, responsible for directing targets to his companion.
Beside him, his companion was quietly watching through the lens of a long scope—a Dahua soldier busy connecting telephone lines in the distance.
