Lin Dawei took the military map drawn by Xie Wan and found that although it was drawn in a relatively simple way, the important traffic checkpoints in the city, the number and rotation of soldiers on duty at the city gates, the troops on standby in the camp, the main firepower configuration, etc. were all marked in great detail.
Lin Dawei felt admiration and ashamed.
Xie Wan had only been in Phnom Penh for three days, but he had already understood the military deployment of Phnom Penh so thoroughly. As a military attaché stationed in Phnom Penh, his understanding of the military deployment of Phnom Penh was less than one-tenth of others'.
"Xiao Xie, you have been outside these days. It turns out you were working on this blueprint. You really never fight a battle without preparation."
This blueprint and the data on it were indeed written down by the three people ahead of Xie Wan when they were strolling in Phnom Penh. At that time, they did not expect to go on a prison break, but they were just worried about encountering accidents during the evacuation, so it would always be a good idea to be well prepared.
Sun Hao asked: "We will act in the second half of the night. I know Pol Pot's living habits. He usually goes to bed after 2 a.m.
But if there was an escape from S-21, someone would have reported it to Pol Pot and warned him. If necessary, I could step in and stop him.”
Xie Wan looked at Sun Hao. If he tried to delay Pol Pot, he would definitely not be able to come back.
Xie Wan took out another hand-drawn map. When Sun Hao took a look, it turned out to be a map of the Khmer Rouge headquarters and Pol Pot's residence.
Xie Wan pointed at the map and said to Sun Hao: “From what I understand, Pol Pot was very afraid of death, and he rested in a different place every night.
On the night of the operation, I would set off a series of explosions among the Khmer Rouge, throwing their headquarters into chaos.
Ambassador Sun, please take a look at whether these explosion points are reasonable, so that they can temporarily paralyze their headquarters without damaging the Khmer Rouge's strength too much and letting the Vietcong take advantage. "
Ambassador Sun did not ask Xie Wan how he carried out the explosion. He now thought that Xie Wan must have other team members left in Phnom Penh.
He carefully drew a few circles on the map and said, "Xiao Xie is right. Originally, blowing up their communication room was the most direct approach. But once the communication room was blown up, the entire Khmer Rouge's combat command system would be paralyzed, which would mean that we were helping the Vietcong.
We and the Khmer Rouge cannot be considered enemies at the moment.
At least for now, our positions are consistent.
This degree is indeed difficult to grasp.
Based on my experience in and out of the headquarters many times, detonating at these locations can cause the greatest panic without hurting senior generals or Pol Pot..."
The three of them discussed for a long time and worked out an action plan. The time of action was set for the next night, or to be precise, three o'clock in the morning of the third day.
