Battlefield Contractor

On the third day after Lin Rui and his teammates reunited, he was notified that he attended a meeting with Black Panther Gulei and others.

The meeting was organized by Long Zhengwu. In a temporary meeting room, Long Zhengwu looked at them and said solemnly, "Today's meeting has only one purpose, to develop tactics for the rescue of Zhao Jianfei. Vitalk, please tell us about the current situation."

Vitalk nodded, "Now we have successfully lied to the people of Morningstar, making them think that we will launch an attack on Goat Rock in the Marka area to rescue Zhao Jianfei. But in fact, my people have already got the exact information. , Zhao Jianfei is being held in this place." His finger pointed to the projection screen behind him. "A concentration camp on the outskirts of Mogadishu. This place is called a chaos camp by the locals."

"What specific information do we have about this location, or something that needs attention?" Jiang An frowned.

"No, because it is a very critical time. We can't send people to explore the concentration camp, because once exposed, it will lead to the other party's suspicion. It is more likely to cause all our previous arrangements to fail, and we will lose everything." Vitalk Shen said.

"In other words, we don't know much about this concentration camp. At least we have very little information." Lin Rui said in a deep thought.

"Yes. At nine o'clock last night, I got the fake call from the other party. He was testing me, trying to knock me sideways and asking when I would do it. What I told him was that we were preparing for one. The large-scale raid is planning to rescue Zhao Jianfei by means of armed rescue." Vitak said.

"Then what's his reaction?" Long Zhengwu muttered.

"He didn't express it, but I can see that he has doubts. Because this is different from what he imagined, he originally thought we would take covert actions and organize sneak attacks in small teams. But he never considered that we would use a frontal attack. Way, it can be said that my answer disrupted their initial deployment. So while he was a little apprehensive, he also had some doubts."

Jiang An nodded and said, "He will definitely be suspicious, because the first priority of the rescue mission is to ensure the safety of the hostages, so it is generally a covert operation and rarely takes strike-style raids."

"So we have to dispel his doubts, and make him believe that our goal is to precisely point to Goat Rock. In this way, they will increase their troops and strengthen their deployment in Goat Rock. So as to achieve our purpose of attacking the West, on the surface We are preparing to attack Goat Rock, but in fact it is an assault on the Chaos Camp." Vitak pointed to the spot on the map. "I want to convince them that we are planning a storm at all costs."

"But how can we convince them?" Group B leader Lincoln frowned.

"This is the purpose of our meeting today. We have to lay out a tactic to make our feint preparations look very real and to complete the offensive against the target in the shortest time." Long Zhengwu looked at them. , "What do you think about this?"

"If we want to appear real, we must be observed by them operating in the Marka area. Only when a large number of our combatants are active around Marka can it appear that we are indeed preparing to attack Goat Rock." Lin Rui replied. "One thing about this operation is to our advantage, that is, the distance between Marka and Mogadishu is only 70 kilometers."

"What you mean is that we set up a temporary camp in Marka and assumed a gesture of attacking Goat Rock, but actually ran 70 kilometers to hit the chaotic camp near Mogadishu." Long noon frowned.

"Yes. Morningstar and the warlords in southern Somalia currently control this area. So they have a lot of eyesight. Once we enter this place, they will be immediately noticed. So if we enter the Mogadishu zone directly, they will Immediately realize our true intentions. This will pose a great threat to us.

So the best way is to enter the Marka area, but it can be farther away from the Goat Rock Concentration Camp. In this way, it seems that our purpose is Goat Rock, and the distance is a little farther, which is also a common concealed raid technique. Lin Rui explained.

Jiang An nodded, "I think Lin Rui's plan is feasible, but it is difficult to implement. From the data point of view, our o2 team plus the personnel from the African branch, the number of people participating in the combat mission this time will be There are more than three hundred people. It is still difficult for these three hundred people to quickly complete the deployment and enter the combat area 70 kilometers away. Because this will be a leapfrog attack."

Leapfrogging is one of the typical tactics of the US military on the Vietnam battlefield. It means to transport by air, usually using helicopter uh60a or ch47d to quickly transfer troops from one place to the target location. For offensive operations, the location is generally located behind the enemy or strategically not controlled by friendly forces. Since the isolated troops can carry heavy weapons and receive sufficient air support, they are still in a state of attacking, retreating and defending under ideal circumstances.

On the Vietnam battlefield, the US military's first leapfrog distance was about 4050km. With the adept tactics, the 101st Assault Division once carried heavy weapons such as anti-tank guns and anti-tank missiles for 4 consecutive leaps and depths of 800 kilometers.

With modern equipment and technology, this leapfrog tactic has developed quite mature. Among these mercenaries, Jason used to be a member of the Green Beret. The earliest use of this type of tactic was their army special forces. He is naturally no stranger to these. Lincoln’s Group B is almost all veterans of the reconnaissance company directly under the Marine Corps. This tactic is also a necessary method for them to intervene in combat areas in the early stages. So there is a very clear understanding of the pros and cons of these tactics.

So Lincoln frowned, "In theory, this is the most ideal way. But in practice it is quite difficult. We need a certain number of transport helicopters, and it is best to have air superiority. In addition, for the overall command, can it be coordinated? Consistency is also a big test."

Jason thought for a while and said, "The biggest question is how can we hide from the people of Morningstar. If we want to attack Goat Rock and temporarily stationed in Marka, we shouldn't need at least five to six. A transport helicopter, right? Not to mention that we don't have so many transport helicopters. Even if there are, it is easy for the discerning person to see the problem.

It’s like a person, standing in front of you, you can kill him with a pistol, but you have to pull a cannon over, measuring and aiming, and the fool knows that you’re actually going to shoot something else. aims. "

"That is, once we enter the Marka area, we are equivalent to entering the other side's territory, everything is under the eyes of others. If our intention is too obvious, we will soon be seen through." Lin Rui frowned.
