Sabotage at Lynchburg

**Sabotage at Lynchburg** is the eighth mission in *History Civil War: Secret Missions*.

## Walkthrough

"Soldiers as well as officers were known to disguise themselves as their
enemy, impersonating local accents and donning enemy uniforms, either to
gain intelligence or to carry out dangerous missions behind enemy lines."

Mission Briefing - Sabotage at Lynchburg:

"Major General David Hunter of the Union is camped on the outskirts of
Lynchburg. His artillery is preventing the movement of General Early's
troops. In order for the Confederacy to hold Lynchburg, you must destroy
Hunter's artillery emplacements. Silence these cannon once and for all."

The mission begins with your CO informing you the enemy are positioned on
the ridge ahead. Your mission is to infiltrate their lines and destroy a
group of cannons.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Protect your companions until they reach the enemy position.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Turn around and look in the bushes to find the hidden letter in this
mission past the tree.

Turn around again and follow your companions through the trees and down the
road passing a barricade. You will come to a large clearing with rocks and
logs strewn about.

Take cover behind something and begin shooting at the Confederate soldiers
on the ridge and throw grenades at the soldiers down below. After killing
a few of the Confederates, the objectives will update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Destroy the Gatling Gun position.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Enemy soldiers will continue to attack from down below. Continue shooting
them while advancing forward to new cover.

Continue down the path and you will eventually come under fire from the
Gatling Gun. Run up the hill on the right and pitch a grenade to quiet the
gun. You will now come under heavy attack from Confederate reinforcements
from the hill behind you and the fenced area to the left. Rush the Gatling
Gun position and kill any remaining soldiers around it and man the Gatling
Gun. Continue firing at the reinforcements until they stop.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Destroy the artillery position.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Jump off of the Gatling Gun and turn around and run down the road. You will
spot your companions crouching behind them. They will run off as you
approach, but do not follow them just yet. Pass through them and look on
the backside of the right barricade to find the first of two wounded
soldiers in this mission.

Follow your fellow soldiers to a large group of Confederates. Take cover
and fire away. When about one or two are left, turn to the left and run up
the hill to find the cannons firing away. Throw a grenade to kill the
majority of the crews and shoot the rest. Your objectives should update
after clearing out any remaining Confederates.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Destroy the second artillery position.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

While looking at the cannons, turn to the left and on the hill you should
be able to see the red glow from the first of two hidden pictures in the
mission. Grab it and turn around and look at the wagon to the left to spot
an ammunition box in the bed of the wagon.

Run North through the barricades past the ammo wagon to meet up with your
unit who will advance down the hill when you join up with them.

Continue down the hill to the second artilley position. Stop at the first
barricade and throw a grenade behind the cover in front of you to take out
two or three Confederates. Run to that cover and begin shooting from behind
there. After a few kills, an explosion will destroy the cannons to the left
and the objectives update.

CURRENT OBJECTIVES:
- Use the cannons to destroy other artillery positions.
- Find and heal all wounded soldiers (bonus objective).

Approach the cannons and turn to the left. Move behind the boxes there to
find ammunition and the second hidden picture in the mission.

Turn around and clean up any other Confederate soldiers. Move down the road
towards the next objective. As you approach, another Gatling Gun opens fire
at you and your unit. Wait until it reloads and jump out of cover to fire.

If you approach the barricade, move to the left side of it to find the
second wounded soldier of the mission to complete the bonus objective.

After reviving him, jump onto the cannon and fire at the artillery on the
hill to the left. The mission will complete once all of the soldiers have
been killed.

You should at least unlock the "Lynchburg" achievement for completing this
mission.
