Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparing to Move
I looked around and said to Karl, "First of all, we're going to split into two teams, right?" โ
Walker nodded and said, "It must be two teams." It would be better if there were three teams. โ
"That's good. We don't have enough people here right now. After all, after entering the courtyard, according to your intelligence Carl, we faced at least thirty armed men, and only a few more. Such a few people will make us not make a mistake, otherwise we will find ourselves in a dilemma because of lack of strength. I said.
Karl thought for a moment and said, "And Toldo's people. โ
I shook my hand and said, "I don't trust those drug dealers. If this plan is to be implemented, it will have to be replenished. โ
"And who are you going to want?" Carl asked helplessly.
I looked at the oil bottle and said, "How's Fabry recovering?" โ
The oil bottle looked at me and said, "It should be about the same." I don't know the specifics. โ
"You go and ask immediately. I need people I know well. I looked at Carl after instructing the oil bottle, "If we're here, maybe we'll be pretty sure." โ
Speaking of which, both Walker and Carl looked very lost, after all, the only people who have been here since the beginning are me and Walker at the moment. Carl sighed and said, "Do you want Kodoba?" Let Cรณrdoba pick a few more people from his ranks? โ
I glanced at Walker, "Cรณdoba himself is okay, I don't dare to bring the others." โ
"Okay. That cordoba counts as one. Who else could you want? Can I count one? Karl asked, looking impatient.
I sighed and said, "I didn't mean to find fault. Carl, I don't do much of this, but I've experienced a lot of situations where reality deviates greatly from what was planned. In this operation, our retreat is completely out of our control, and in the event of an incident, I think you know better than I do what kind of situation we will face in the town. Every extra minute there would be as long for us as it was in a year. That's why I need people, people I believe. โ
"But now, where do you tell me to find someone who has made you believe?" Carl asked anxiously.
I looked at Walker and said, "Last time we were guarding the manor, do you have anyone upstairs who can use it?" โ
Walker looked at me and said, "Looks like there's one or two more." โ
"Just use them. Just pick from the survivors who guarded this place last time. I'm talking about the garrisons, not the people who have been improvised and armed. I said.
Walker nodded yes. Carl looked at Walker and nodded, and then asked, "Do you have any other requirements?" โ
I sighed and said, "Carl, it seems to you that this operation may be foolproof. But in practice, such an action requires a lot of manpower. It's a place where the other side is entrenched, although you'd say there's an internal response, and there's the Mexican military police. But when things actually happen, most of the time we are doing it ourselves, aren't we? โ
Karl waved his hand and said, "I understand your worries. I won't be in an irrelevant place then. I'll go to that town with you too. I'll keep an eye on those military policemen, and even if things don't go well, I'll be sure to support you to get out of the gap. โ
"Okay. Since you insist that the success rate of this operation is high, then I will not say more. They'll meet next Thursday, so we're going to take the time to rehearse. I said and looked at Walker and said, "Carl said it's a bit like Pablo's house, so let's take this place and practice it first." โ
When Carl saw me say this, he immediately took out more photos from his bag and said, "Here are some pictures of the interior of the house, you can take a look." There is also a map of the town. Carl said and tossed us the picture, then unfolded the map and said, "The place where they met is in the northeast of this town, which is here." As he spoke, he clicked on the place on the map that had already been circled in red by him. Thordo will arrange you in advance in the surrounding houses of this house. โ
"Wait." I interrupted, "It's better to have a taller house." We're going to get the snipers in, i.e. Pinto is going there. โ
Karl shook his head when I said this, and said, "The nearest circle of houses over there is not very high. But there seems to be one in a little farther away. โ
"Are you sure?" I asked.
Carl pointed to the photos and said, "I saw it from the pictures too." I'll contact Nursery to confirm there. Carl saw me and Walker nodding and continued, "When you succeed, Toldo's men will meet you at the gate, and the Mexican military police will launch an attack on the drug dealers here in the southern part of the town, which is about this location, to contain them. Once you've done that, go around the northeast side of the town to the south, avoiding the road closest to the target building from the south. I'll take the military police to pick you up at the southeast corner of the town. Karl looked at us, and after we understood, he continued, "If you are blocked inside, you can't get to the meeting point in the southeast corner. Then concentrate on going south. I've talked to the Mexican military police that if that happens, I'll increase my forces to the north and open the way for you. โ
"What if you can't get out for a while?" I glanced at Karl, "I mean, your attack on the south didn't go well and you couldn't open the way. โ
Karl thought for a moment and said, "Then you must support it until dark." I'll organize an attack after dark, and then you can take advantage of the chaos to get out. But it's better not to happen in that case, as you said, and it's going to be like years. โ
Just then, the oil bottle knocked on the door and walked in, followed by Fabry. He looked at me and said, "Sir, I'm all right now." It's completely combatable. โ
"Good." I nodded and looked at Karl and said, "Then let's assign the manpower." My team is still the same as the last time I went to Cali. Because Pinto was going to be a sniper, Fabry just added to me. The others were brought by Walker. โ
Walker immediately vetoed: "You have to take Cordoba and let this guy follow you." I don't like him. I'll pick the survivors of the battle to defend the manor. โ
"Okay. Then my team is me, Drag Bottle, Paro, Fabry, and Cรณdobรก. I pointed to the people as I spoke.
"Then I'll take Mighty Mouse, Camilo, Etara and Juan plus two more people I'm going to pick." Walker Road.
"What weapons are we using this time?" I asked.
"To be on the safe side, use the M16 or M4A1. Most of the opponents are equipped with assault rifles, and if you still use MP5K, it will be very advantageous in the house, but you will be very passive when you come out. Carl said.
"Yes. Equip us with communication equipment. How about we start training in the afternoon, Walker? It's Friday and we still have a few days to practice. โ
Walker nodded and said, "No problem. But you're going to attack the team from above or the team from below. โ
I smiled and said, "I'm afraid of heights." You tell me? โ
So we started training in the afternoon, and we imagined Pablo's big house as our goal. From the perspective of what the formation is like after entering the gate, and the direction in which each person should be responsible. Snipers should prioritize taking out people and areas that need to be controlled. How did our team cover Walker's team after entering the hall and how did they go up to the second floor after they were in place. How to withdraw after all this, withdraw from the yard. This kind of practice over and over again gradually fleshed out the details of our actions, which gave me a lot of confidence. Walker: They also practiced the technique of rappelling from the rooftop. Two days before we set off, we rehearsed how the two teams would cooperate in the operation after the armed men who intercepted us appeared in the middle of the way.
Before leaving, all of us gathered together to receive our own armament and communication equipment. I made it a point to ask everyone to bring extra ammunition. I even took the map of the town with me, because I always felt that this time it was not as simple as Carl thought.
When we arrived in Mexico, we were met by the man of Toldo, who was about to become the new King. Early Thursday morning, we were taken to the town. I sat in the car and looked out the window, and there were armed men with all kinds of guns on their backs. It's a place where there's no government, or the government here is a drug dealer.
"No wonder you dare to say that you are a king. This posture is enough. I whispered.
The men from Toldo drove us into the town and stopped next to a house. We got out of the car and entered the house one by one with equipment on our backs, led by this man. After entering the house, the man quickly drew up the curtains and led us to the upstairs window, opened a little curtain, pointed to a large house in front of him, and said, "That's where you are going." After going out from here, walk out along the road and turn right to the entrance of the compound. But be careful, there are also people standing guard on the roof on the opposite side of the house. It should be said that there are people on the roofs all around. โ
"Are the sentinels there at night?" I asked.
The man nodded, "Of course." Sentinels have always been there. And the defense has been strengthened recently, and a lot of people have been transferred. My boss also mobilized manpower. โ
I nodded, "Is the meeting starting in the afternoon?" โ
"Yes. The guerrillas should have arrived at noon. It is said that the Mombasa brothers were going to invite them to lunch. โ
"Good." I looked at Walker and said, "We should be ready." Get in touch with Carl to see when it's time to do it. โ
