Chapter 268. Teacher Su's bodyguards, Gao Kai and Xu Gaogui, had unconsciously held their breath.
The fate of the entire Third Battalion rests on the shoulders of Commander-in-Chief Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan looked at the winding route on the map, and at Su An's confident yet almost indifferent eyes. He was mentally analyzing and calculating the feasibility of Su An's proposed plan.
He frantically went through the process in his mind, trying to find flaws in the plan.
A feint attack to draw out the main force? That's feasible; it's the only way.
Venturing into the swamp? Dangerous, but on the other hand, precisely because it's a death trap, it's also where the enemy's defenses are weakest, or even completely undefended. This allows for perfect tactical surprise.
A small team raid, striking straight at the heart of the enemy? Despite the disparity in troop strength, if they can accurately locate the command post and kill Yuan Bao, the Second Battalion will be leaderless and collapse instantly!
The more Jiang Yan pondered, the more shocked he became.
He discovered that Su An's every step was outside the bounds of conventional tactics, and every link was inconceivable, but when put together, they formed a logically perfect closed loop, the only path to victory.
He had to admit that this woman's tactical thinking had surpassed that of everyone present.
Jiang Yan let out a long breath, as if expelling all his hesitation and concerns. He raised his head, and his usually calm and steady eyes shone with an unprecedented determination.
"Alright! Let's proceed according to Su An's plan!"
He immediately gave the following order:
Xu Gaogui!
"arrive!"
"You'll lead the third squad and be responsible for building the frontal defensive fortifications! I want you to use everything you can—shovels, entrenching tools, ammunition boxes—to dig trenches and pile up sandbags! Make a lot of noise, the bigger the better! Make sure Yuan Bao, five kilometers away, can hear us clanging around here, make him think we're scared out of our wits and are prepared to hold out to the death!"
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission!" Xu Gaogui straightened his back, and a fierce look appeared on his gentle face.
"excellence!"
"arrive!"
"You lead the second squad, radiating outwards from the main camp for one kilometer, and set up booby traps and pits! Especially along the main mountain roads leading here, use all available tripwires and dug pits! I don't care if you can hurt the enemy, but you must slow down their advance and wear them down! Is the mission clear?"
"Understood!" The exceptional voice was as steady as a mountain.
"yes!"
The battle plan was quickly finalized, and the entire Third Battalion, after a period of stagnation following a crushing defeat, was finally back in full swing.
Gao Kai was the first to excitedly rush out of the tent, and he ran straight to Su An.
"Teacher Su! I've filled your water bottle! It's warm, good for your throat!"
He held a military water bottle in both hands, his eyes sparkling as he handed it over.
Su An was inspecting the ammunition he was about to take when he heard this. He looked up at him and calmly accepted it.
Seeing this, Gao Kai became even more excited and pulled out several magazines wrapped in cloth from his pocket as if presenting a treasure.
"Teacher Su, look! These are the ones I picked out one by one from dozens of magazines! I pressed them with my fingers, and the springs are the strongest, guaranteed not to jam!"
