This was probably to avoid suspicion. The less attention they drew, the greater the chance they would successfully bring someone to Base 5.
Chang Yin hesitated for a moment, "So, Lao Fei, you mean Commander Han will be sent to Base 5? And the escorting force is small?"
Fei Shuwen gave Chang Yin an approving look; Battalion Commander Chang's mind worked quickly. Moreover, that wasn't the most important thing. He looked at Chang Yin and continued, "Their main force is going to Base 9, probably to cover their tracks. They arranged for a small group to escort Commander Han to Base 5."
Chang Yin didn't have a map at the moment, but Base 9 and Base 5 were in completely opposite directions. "What are your thoughts?"
Political Commissar Fei raised an eyebrow and smiled. "There really is. When I was compiling the data, I heard my superiors say that such credit shouldn't be monopolized by those people. So, we might arrange an elite team to participate in this escort mission."
However, we'll have to wait until those people arrive before proceeding.
"No!" Chang Yin denied, recalling the map of the entire US military base. "They won't pass by here on their way to Base 9. Besides, the closest place to us should be Shanhe County, which is about 90 miles away."
Therefore, even if we send a small team to participate in the mission, they can only force their way into Shanhe County.
Fei Shuwen gave Chang Yin another approving look. "Yes, Battalion Commander Chang, you're right. The problem now is that the leadership here hasn't decided who to send on the mission. So, should we try to get some help?"
Chang Yin wanted to say "yes," but he also knew the risks they would face if they did. He shook his head. "Let's not move for now. Old Tang needs to recover from his injuries, and based on their battle route, it will take them at least seven or eight days to reach Shanhe County."
By then, Old Tang's injuries should be mostly healed. That way, even if the US military doesn't send them, they can find their own way.
Tang Shengkai felt a little annoyed, but not much. He knew his worst-case scenario: he could always use his spiritual power to heal himself. However, that would be too obvious, and the American military officers would probably overthink it.
"Old Tang, you don't need to worry so much. Actually, without the backing of this incident, it would have been almost impossible for us to get this escort quota."
"Yes, so what are your plans, Lao Chang?"
