Chapter 127 What to do? Of course, retreat!
Lao Wang drove the car directly into the Sixth Company camp.
Guo Yuanshuai took Xu Ge and Li Dongshui to the armory to register the 202 sniper rifle, while Lao Wang went directly to the company headquarters.
At dinner time, neither Lao Wang nor Liu Guoping showed up.
When the veterans learned that the deputy squad leader and his two companions had gone to test-fire the 202, they couldn't wait to ask questions at the dinner table.
Guo Yuanshuai responded with a few words casually, his mind was already focused on the action that Lao Wang mentioned.
"You two walked through the Kashgar Ancient Road. What was the situation over there?" Guo Yuanshuai asked in a low voice.
Xu Ge thought for a moment and said, "It's a real no-man's land. There are no roads. There are very few living creatures above 3,000 meters above sea level. It's mostly snow-capped mountains and glaciers, and there's only one river. If we hadn't had our nanny last time, we wouldn't have been able to get through!"
Guo Yuanshuai frowned. "In such a harsh environment, a battle will depend on both sides' military strength and their ability to occupy advantageous terrain. It's difficult for individual soldiers to fully utilize their strengths in terms of quality and weaponry."
The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became serious, and the veterans stopped laughing.
Su Liujun asked, "What happened, squad leader?"
Guo Yuanshuai: "Wang is here. He's probably communicating the mission with the company commander at the company headquarters."
"I haven't even eaten yet. It seems the mission is not easy!"
"He said our company was going to Tashgu Road, and he was in full command."
The veterans' faces changed.
Niu San was the first to speak up: "How come a wolf leader like him is here to command our Sixth Company? Isn't this against the rules?"
Guo Yuanshuai: "From what he said, it should be the order from my squad leader."
"Damn! The fact that Lao Wang is taking action means the mission is very difficult!" Wang Lin was also a little surprised.
"Let's eat first and be mentally prepared. We're probably about to set out!" Guo Yuanshuai reminded.
After dinner, no one informed us of the activities for tonight and everyone stayed in the dormitory.
At around eight o'clock, the whistle suddenly sounded.
Beep beep beep!
"All cadres and backbones, assemble in the conference room on the fourth floor!"
Guo Yuanshuai picked up his notebook and pen and was about to go out when the messenger ran over: "Deputy of the Ninth Squad, the company commander said that Xu Ge and Li Dongshui from your squad should also go up."
"Yeah! Okay!"
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui followed Guo Yuanshuai up to the fourth floor with a puzzled look on their faces, and found that Lao Wang had already arrived in the conference room and was working on the computer with the projector turned on.
After everyone arrived, Luo Shan began to organize the team and count the number of people. Then the door of the conference room was closed and the communicator stood guard at the door.
Liu Guoping stepped forward and said, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Wolf Head. This time he's here on a combat mission!"
Below, everyone's expressions turned serious.
The four words "combat mission" instantly made everyone understand the nature of this meeting!
. . .
. . .
Lao Wang didn't waste any time and just clicked the mouse, and an electronic combat map appeared on the projection.
"My superiors have ordered that I take full command of this operation. Everyone must strictly follow my orders during the operation. Is this clear?"
Lao Wang's aura changed, his eyes lit up frighteningly, and after scanning everyone's faces, he asked loudly.
It was also at this time that Xu Ge realized that the man above was not the cheap selling old Wang, but the wolf head of the Wolf Brigade's ace unit - Sirius!
"clear!"
Everyone responded in a deep voice.
"Xu Ge! Li Dongshui!" Old Wang suddenly called out the names of the two new recruits.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately stood up: "Here!"
"Next, I will explain the mission details using the map. You two have been to the scene. If you find any discrepancies or need to add anything, please feel free to remind me!"
"Yes!" The two of them sat down immediately.
The 3D map was the one that the nanny showed Xu Ge and Li Dongshui before they went on a business trip last time, but many points were marked on it in detail.
"Our target is an armed group disguised as cargo traders."
Lao Wang pointed the laser pen at Leh, and then drew along the Tash Ancient Road.
"They had already set out from Leh yesterday and should be about to leave the Maya Mountains and enter Aksai Chin. There are about 100 of them, and 20 mules and horses to carry the goods.
The number of weapons is unknown, but heavy firepower cannot be ruled out. According to the intelligence sent back by the undercover, there are suspected members of the Tiandu military involved in the escort of these 100 people!
The conference room was completely silent, and everyone was staring at the projection, afraid of missing any details.
This is not just a drill, it is real combat!
"Everyone, look here. This is our Shenxianwan outpost. From here all the way to the Karakoram Mountains is the border! In other words, the target will officially cross the border tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Lao Wang paused and looked at everyone, "Our mission is to annihilate the enemy completely!"
Everyone was shocked!
"There are three ambush points here, one near the alpine pasture, the foot of Hakkale Daban, and the other along the Tash Daban line."
Lao Wang glanced at Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, then continued, "Our planned first ambush location is near the alpine pasture, but based on the enemy's specific itinerary, if they're still quite far away when we arrive, we'll continue to advance towards the second ambush point, and so on."
"I need to remind you that starting from Hakkale Daban, even if you enter the heart of the Kunlun Mountains, there is always cloud and fog obscuring the sky there, so satellites may not be able to capture the entire view."
"Xu Ge, Li Dongshui, do you two have anything to add?"
Xu Ge thought for a moment and stood up. "Report! We'll meet the Renqi River at Hakkale Pass. If we need to continue advancing to the third ambush location, we must be well prepared and pay attention to safety when crossing the river. It's summer now, the glaciers are melting faster, and flash floods are very frequent!"
Lao Wang nodded. "Very good, you hit the nail on the head! This time, in addition to the usual weapons and equipment, we also need to bring some ropes and safety buckles."
At this time, Guo Yuanshuai raised his hand.
Lao Wang immediately gestured to speak: "Squad Leader, do you have any questions?"
Guo Yuanshuai looked at the projection and asked, "What I want to ask is, are we the only combat company in this operation? You just said that the enemy has 100 people, and there may even be people from the Tiandu military escorting them."
"We have been following this militant group for a long time and have now found their base outside Leh. This operation is actually divided into two parts, but they are carried out simultaneously."
Lao Wang explained, "Part of the Tianlang troops will be waiting near the Shenxianwan outpost. Once the target enters the city, they will immediately follow them from behind. The other part will rush into Leh City to clear out the enemy. The entire operation is expected to be completed within 10 minutes.
At that time, the Tianlang troops following the target will immediately accelerate, forming a pincer attack with our Sixth Company, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop! "
Guo Yuanshuai: "Can you guarantee that when we're clearing out the stronghold, no one will notify the enemies on the road?"
Wang Lai: "During the operation, Tianlang will immediately block the signals around the base, but this will not prevent the Tiandu military from discovering and notifying the 100 people who have entered the country.
Therefore, the time for the team responsible for advancing into Leh to carry out the encirclement and suppression is determined by us. When the Sixth Company contacts the target, that's when they'll start!"
Everyone's face showed a look of realization.
By this time everyone understood that this was a two-pronged operation, and it had to be carried out simultaneously, and the bottleneck was the time when the enemy did not have time to communicate with each other.
Guo Yuanshuai was still looking at the map with a frown on his face.
Lao Wang noticed Guo Yuanshuai's expression and asked, "Squad Leader, is there anything else you think is wrong?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Guo Yuanshuai, wanting to hear what other opinions the old deputy squad leader had on this operation.
Guo Yuanshuai said in a deep voice, "According to your original plan, the group of Tianlang soldiers following the target must not get too close. What if something unexpected happens and the people behind can't catch up in time? Wouldn't the Sixth Company be left alone to face these 100-plus people?"
Instructor Jiang Da spoke up: "Deputy Guo, it can't be such a coincidence, right? Even if it is true, we can only deal with those 100 or so people..."
"How about letting you be the first one?" Guo Yuanshuai suddenly interrupted Jiang Da.
Jiang Da was stunned: "I can be the first one. They are just a bunch of amateur drug dealers. How can we be afraid of them?"
"Damn it! How did you become an instructor with your level of awareness?"
Guo Yuanshuai suddenly stood up and cursed, and the entire conference room fell silent.
Jiang Da's expression changed: "Deputy Guo, what do you mean?!"
"What do you mean? I'm asking you, if our Sixth Company faces those 100-plus militants, can you guarantee a complete annihilation with zero casualties?"
"If not, tell me what the casualty rate can be controlled at? If there is a casualty rate, which soldier in our company do you think would be acceptable to be among those casualties?"
"Come on, come on, answer me!"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they were all stunned by Guo Yuanshuai's questions.
Jiang Da's face turned pale and blue: "I...I..."
"Oh my god, you're so stupid!" Guo Yuanshuai got angry and started yelling at him, pointing at him. "You're an instructor, and you don't take the soldiers' lives seriously now. What the hell will happen to you when you get promoted later?!"
"The operation hasn't even begun yet, and you're already f*cking underestimated the enemy? You're even calling them amateur drug dealers. Damn, even if those guys are amateurs, they're all ruthless killers! How many of our soldiers have ever killed anyone? How many of our new recruits have ever participated in actual combat?"
Jiang Da was completely speechless after being rebuked. He sat on the chair with a red face and didn't say a word.
Seeing Guo Yuanshuai getting angry, Lao Wang quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Squad Leader, you don't have to get so excited..."
Guo Yuanshuai had originally come for Old Wang, and when he saw him speak, he immediately asked, "Wang Lai, you can say I'm shaking the morale of the troops before the battle, or that I'm afraid of death, but I want to ask you now, if the Tianlang people behind us don't catch up, what will happen to our Sixth Company?"
"What can we do? Of course we should continue to retreat and avoid contact with the enemy!" Wang Lai said with a smile.
Everyone: ???
Guo Yuanshuai was also confused by Lao Wang's words: "What did you say?"
