On the third day after Lin Rui and his teammates reunited, they received a notice to attend a meeting with Black Panther Gulei and others.

The meeting was organized by Long Noon. In a makeshift conference room, Long Zhengwu looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Today's meeting has only one purpose, to formulate tactics for the mission of rescuing Zhao Jianfei. Vitak, you tell me about the current situation. ”

Vitak nodded, "Now we have successfully deceived the people of Morningstar Company into thinking that we are going to launch an attack on Goat Rock in the Marka region to rescue Zhao Jianfei. But in fact, my people have obtained definite information that Zhao Jianfei is being held in this place. He pointed to the projection screen behind him. "A concentration camp on the outskirts of Mogadishu. This place is known locally as the Camp of Chaos. ”

"What other specific information do we have about this location, or what needs to be paid attention to?" Shogishi frowned.

"No, because it's a very critical time. We can't risk probing the camp, because if it is exposed, it will lead to suspicion. It is more likely that our previous arrangement will fall short and we will lose all the games. Virtek said in a deep voice.

"That is, we don't know much about this camp. At the very least, there is very little information available. Lin Rui groaned.

"Yes. At nine o'clock last night, I got the fake phone call from the other party. He was testing me, trying to ask me when I was going to do it. What I told him at the time was that we were preparing for a large-scale raid and were going to rescue Zhao Jianfei by means of armed rescue. Vitak said.

"So what's his reaction?" Long Noon muttered.

He didn't say anything, but I could tell he had doubts. Because it was different from what he had imagined, he had thought that we would take covert action and carry out a sneak attack as a squad. But it never took into account that we would be attacking head-on, so to speak, my answer disrupted their initial deployment. So he was a little scared and a little suspicious at the same time. ”

Shogishi nodded, "He must be suspicious, because the first priority of the rescue mission is to ensure the safety of the hostages, so they usually operate stealthily, and rarely take strike-style raids." ”

"So we're going to dispel his doubts, and we're going to convince him that our goal is to point exactly to Goat Rock. In this way, they will increase their forces and strengthen their control at Goat Rock. In order to achieve our goal of attacking the east and west, on the surface we are preparing to storm Goat Rock, but in fact we are raiding the Chaos Camp. Virtek pointed to the spot on the map. "I want to convince them that we are planning an assault at all costs. ”

"But how can we get them to believe it?" said Lincoln, the leader of Team B, with a frown.

"That's what we're here for today, we're going to lay out a tactic that makes our feint preparations look very real, and that we can complete the offensive against the right target in the shortest possible time. Long looked at them at noon and said, "What do you think about this?"

"If we want to be real, we have to be observed by them in the Marka area, and only if a large number of our fighters are moving around Marka can it appear that we are indeed preparing to attack Goat Rock. Lin Rui replied. "One thing that worked in our favor for this operation was that the distance between Marka and Mogadishu was only 70 kilometres. ”

"What you mean is that we set up a makeshift camp in Marka and posed as if we were going to storm Goat Rock, but in fact we were running 70 kilometres to attack the chaotic camp close to Mogadishu. Long Noon frowned.

"Yes. Morningstar and warlord forces in southern Somalia now control the area. So they have a lot of eyeliners, and once we enter this place, they will immediately notice it. So if we go directly into the Mogadishu Strip, they will immediately realize our true intentions. This will be a big threat to us.

So the best thing to do was for us to go into the Marka area, but a little further away from the Goat Rock concentration camp. In this way, it seems that our purpose is Goat Rock, and the distance is a little farther, which is also a common covert raid method. Lin Rui explained.

Jiang An nodded, "I think Lin Rui's plan is feasible, but it is difficult to implement. Judging from the numbers, our O2 squad plus the personnel of the African division, the number of people we will participate in the combat mission this time will be more than 300 people. However, it is still difficult for these 300 people to quickly complete the deployment and enter the combat area 70 kilometers away. Because it's going to be a leapfrog-jumping raid. ”

Leapfrog combat is one of the typical tactics of the US military on the battlefield in Vietnam. This means that it is transported by air, and helicopters are generally used to quickly transfer troops from one place to the target position. For offensive operations, the position is generally located behind the enemy or in a strategic location where friendly forces are not in control. Isolated and deeply isolated troops, because they can carry heavy weapons and receive adequate air support, will ideally remain in a state of attack, retreat and defense.

On the battlefield in Vietnam, the distance of the first leap of the US military was about 4,050 km. With the mastery of tactics, the 101st Assault Division once carried anti-tank guns, anti-tank missiles and other heavy weapons to leapfrog four times in a row to a depth of 800 kilometers.

Under modern equipment technology, this leapfrog tactic has developed quite maturely. Among these mercenaries, Jason used to be a member of the Green Berets, and the earliest use of this kind of tactic was their army special forces. He is no stranger to these natures. Lincoln's Group B was almost exclusively veterans of the reconnaissance company directly under the Marine Corps, and this tactic was also necessary for their early intervention in the combat area. So there is a very clear understanding of the pros and cons of these tactics.

So Lincoln frowned, "Theoretically, this is the ideal way." But it's quite difficult to do in practice. We need a certain number of transport helicopters, and preferably air supremacy. In addition, this is also a great test for the overall command to be able to achieve coordination and unity. ”

Jason thought for a moment and said, "The biggest question is, how do we hide from the people at Morningstar?" If we were trying to storm Goat Rock and be stationed in Marka temporarily, we wouldn't need at least five or six transport helicopters, wouldn't we? Not to mention that we don't have that many transport helicopters, and even if we did, it would be easy for a discerning person to see the problem.

It's like a person standing in front of you, you can shoot him with a pistol, but you have to pull a cannon over, measure and aim, and the fool knows that you have another target. ”

"That's right, once we enter the Marka area, we are equivalent to entering the other side's territory, and everything is under the nose of others. If our intentions are too obvious, they will soon be revealed. Lin Rui frowned
