"Domi, let's go!"
Before dawn, Xia Yu led Domi toward the rebel camp.
The purpose of this mission is to gather intelligence to investigate enemy positions and develop a plan of action.
In the passenger seat of the pickup truck, Xia Yu was marking up the map while giving Domi instructions on how to drive.
In Afica, no driving test subjects apply. You just go and get a driver's license, which allows you to drive all wheeled vehicles. If something happens, you're out of luck.
Domi was a little nervous, afraid that if he swerved too much in one direction, he would drive the car into a ditch.
"Relax, Domi, you're driving very well. We'll get there tonight. If you get tired, I'll take over."
Having confirmed that the route was correct, Xia Yu put down the map.
Since his selection process for the special forces went astray, he intensified his studies in this area, never expecting to put it to good use in Afika years after his discharge.
Of course, satellites are still more appealing. I wonder when BeiDou will deploy Afica's services.
"Yes, sir!"
Domi accelerated slightly.
The infantry battalion was stationed in a valley, which is also the only mountainous area in Kongluga, less than two hours' drive from the city.
Since the day of the riot, when they were all dispatched, they had only been deployed on a small scale, after all, the entire battalion only had three BMP-1s and had lost one of them.
If we don't take it easy, we might be wiped out before we even reunite with the Panaka side.
Of course, this rebellion was very fruitful. Battalion Commander Osa personally led the team to take over the local bank and requisitioned a large amount of supplies from the city, which could conservatively be sustained for more than a year.
The key areas to focus on now are the train station and the two other infantry battalions stationed locally.
Little Anka was the deputy battalion commander of one of the infantry battalions, and his post was closest to the rebels.
The two infantry battalions had no heavy weapons, and Osa was only keeping an eye on them to prevent them from causing trouble; the train station was the most important thing.
Why? Because infantry fear armored vehicles, and armored vehicles fear tanks.
There are no armored battalions stationed near Konluga. The country's only two main armored battalions are stationed in the capital city of Busa and on the border of several countries.
With Panaka's support, Busa probably won't use the railway to transport the tanks over!
Osa thought it was unlikely, but he couldn't rule out the possibility, so he arranged for his trusted confidants to be stationed near the train station.
At this moment, Osa was unaware that a Ghost T-64B1M, which had already been decommissioned and scrapped by the First Armored Battalion, was gradually closing the distance between them.
Fate loves to play tricks on people; Xia Yu and the others arrived at their destination before lunch.
A full stomach makes for better work; lunch was sandwiches prepared by Sofia.
Although it was cold, the thermos also contained hot chicken soup.
This was the only decent meal they could have. For dinner, they only had three flavors of instant noodles and two flavors of sausage to choose from, since they weren't there for a picnic.
As for the legendary mRE, even dogs wouldn't eat that stuff; only review bloggers would buy it. Xia Yu, a food connoisseur, would definitely keep her distance.
Chewing on the sandwich, Domi felt it was far superior to the porridge at home.
His mother passed away early, and his sister's cooking skills were less than stellar, so cooking became his job, which could only be described as simply processing the ingredients until they were cooked through.
Domi's specialty is grilling, but grilling without seasoning is nowhere near as delicious. It's such a blessing to be able to work with Mr. Xia.
"Let's go over there."
After lunch, they covered the pickup truck with tree branches and the two men, carrying their equipment, walked towards the rebel camp.
After crossing two hills, we could see buildings on the opposite side in the distance.
Xia Yu took out a pair of Stereo M22 7x50 military binoculars and carefully observed the layout of the various buildings in the camp.
This mutine 3rd Mechanized Infantry Battalion consisted of three mechanized infantry companies, one mortar company, and two infantry artillery platoons at the battalion headquarters. To facilitate the maintenance and repair of armored vehicles, the three mechanized infantry companies shared a single garage.
That's true. There were nine vehicles in total, and one of them had already been destroyed. It's normal for them to be concentrated for maintenance and repair, and it's also normal for them to be taken down all at once.
The battalion headquarters is also easy to identify; it's the only three-story building in the entire camp. You can't see the artillery company through binoculars, so it's unlikely they're mixed up with the mechanized infantry company!
The intelligence had to be accurate, so Xia Yu told Domi to be on guard while he opened the black briefcase beside him.
Inside is a DJI Inspire 2 drone, and judging from its condition, it hasn't been used much.
Xia Yu is not a drone enthusiast, but he has a client who is an excavator wholesaler.
This aircraft was brought back from Europe by someone. In order to stabilize the situation in Kongluga as soon as possible, Xia Yu had no choice but to take what belonged to someone else. Hopefully, it won't crash due to operational errors after takeoff!
After setting the goal, I pressed the power button, and the originally open quadcopter retracted into a working position, which looked more professional than those competitors that cost several thousand yuan.
"Waaah~~"
Driven by the motor, the propeller spun rapidly, and Xia Yu piloted the Wu 2 to take off quickly, beginning further intelligence gathering around the camp.
Domi, who was on guard nearby, was dumbfounded. What was this thing that could actually fly?
No school, no internet, life is full of magic, but it is precisely because of this kind of Afika that Xia Yu can defeat him with overwhelming force!
There are three entrances to the campsite. The main entrance is the largest and most frequently used. The back entrance is the smallest and only allows people to pass through to the back of the mountain. The side entrance used to be the main entrance, which could be used by both people and vehicles, but it is now abandoned and locked.
The mortar company has also been found; it turns out it's on the other side of the mountain. No wonder we couldn't see it earlier.
As intelligence continued to gather, Xia Yu's battle plan was constantly being refined, but looking around, he realized that one BTR-60 was still missing!
Hunting and fishing both require patience, otherwise you're likely to come back empty-handed.
Xia Yu was clearly patient. As night fell and the lights came on at the opposite campsite, he first sprayed himself with mosquito repellent before starting to prepare dinner.
Inside the tent, a portable individual oil stove was lit to boil a pot of water. While the noodles were soaking, a frying pan was taken out to fry the sliced sausages, and two eggs were cracked in the pan as well.
It has protein, carbohydrates, and fats, but it's missing some leafy green vegetables.
Oh, I still have some lettuce leaves left over from the sandwiches I used at noon, might as well use them up.
It's okay to eat instant noodles occasionally, but Xia Yu's stomach starts to hurt whenever he thinks about the first six months after he started working independently.
Perhaps in addition to hiring a Chinese chef, he would also need to have a head cook on hand when going on combat missions, the kind who can both cook and fight.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Domi took the initiative to clean up.
I just watched the boss demonstrate, and if he follows along once, he'll probably get the hang of it.
That drone seems complicated. It's obviously powered by a battery, but how can it fly several kilometers away and then fly back?
Xia Yu had no idea that his junior employee had so many questions. He just needed to follow him around and learn as much as he could.
Once Domi has learned to drive a tank, it's not too late to teach him how to fly a drone. His employees must be multi-talented, each one capable of doing the work of two.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the only sound in the surroundings was the chirping of insects.
"That wheeled armored vehicle won't be coming back tonight," Xia Yu thought to himself as he brushed his teeth.
"Domi, you go to sleep first, you'll take over for me in the second half of the night."
He told Domi to go to sleep first, as Xia Yu was on night duty and would take the opportunity to refine his plans.
The rebels in the barracks slept soundly, unaware that the shadow of death was already looming over them.
Chaos is the breeding ground for military contractors, but Xia Yu prefers order, and what he does is to bring order back to this place.
Nothing happened that night. In the morning, oatmeal porridge was simmering in the tent, while outside, Xia Yu was still lying down, observing the enemy situation through binoculars.
It's past 7 o'clock and they still haven't done their morning exercises. Even if they've become rebels, they shouldn't be this lazy!
Xia Yu got up, complaining.
Their combat effectiveness was indeed directly proportional to their discipline in peacetime; a certain foreign devil had already sentenced them to death.
