Chapter 880 - 0.37 seconds
At nightfall, Crescent City was almost a dead city, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still many places with lights on, and for the drunken soldiers in the streets from time to time talking loudly, there would be no doubt about the dead city.
After determining the time for action, Li Mu set off alone.
He had to do something very important and complete it in twenty minutes, and the rest of the people would be led by Li Fengxiang to approach the city hall along the established course of action under the guidance of Millers.
This matter is only what he can do, and this matter can even be said to be related to the success or failure of the entire rescue operation!
Power!
Cutting off power to the city and plunging the entire city into darkness is definitely a one-way advantage on the battlefield for tactical saber commandos equipped with night vision equipment!
There are two best ways to cut off power to enemy areas: using surface-to-surface missiles to strike and fighters launching out-of-zone precision attack munitions.
The biggest advantage of these two methods is that they can solve the problem outside the line of sight, which is the safest and most secure way for your own side.
Of course, Li Mu had no way to use either of the above two methods, so he could only adopt another way - the special operations detachment infiltrated and sabotage.
However, he couldn't lead the whole team to do this, because once exposed, there would be no way to talk about a rescue operation. When it comes to weighing this issue, there are also multiple options.
For example, they are divided into two groups, one group destroys the power plant, and the other group rescues the hostages.
But!
As a high-level military officer in the new era who has been trained by our army and has the ability to command operations in an all-round way and to fight all-terrain operations in a single soldier, Li Mu knows very well that our army is invincible in battles and can often win victory in a state where its own weapons and equipment are inferior, and the most fundamental operational principle is eight words -- concentrating superior forces to annihilate the enemy.
Dividing the forces into two is, in Li Mu's view, an idealized way, but it is definitely a way that is extremely easy to fail.
Either concentrate on destroying the power plant, or on raiding the city building.
Undoubtedly, the latter is the focus, but the former is an important prerequisite for the capture of the latter. Li Mu's solution can only start with the details – it doesn't have to destroy the power plant.
In general, the process of the tactical saber assault pair from the starting point to the city hall building takes about fifteen minutes, plus ten minutes of raid rescue time, half an hour is enough.
Therefore, as long as the area where the city hall is located can be plunged into darkness for half an hour, the purpose has been achieved. Regional substations, power relay stations, and even major lines can make a fuss. Millers played an important role in this.
After the fall of Crescent City, she lived here for two years, so it can be said that she is familiar with this place. Moreover, the inner line of the development of the French was realized through Millers. That's why the French let Millers go with them.
Despite the worst-case scenario, the French were undeniably able to rescue the hostages. That would be a big victory on the battlefield of public opinion. The French would not let go of such an opportunity to have a long face.
Li Mu took the necessary equipment and left the starting point alone. His other equipment, which Ai Fubing and Liu Wei helped carry, would meet at the southeast corner of the city government building.
In order to facilitate his movements, Li Mu only brought a pistol and a saber, as well as the necessary equipment for destruction. These things can be carried covertly around without the danger of exposure.
The transformer station is an old-fashioned high-pressure transformer two blocks away on the roadside on the southwest side of the city hall building, and there are too many ways to destroy such a high-pressure transformer station.
The specific terrain needs to be observed after reaching the target area to really understand.
Along the way, Li Mu maintained a fast movement, moving quickly along the dark place. After nightfall, Crescent City is lifeless, and most places are dark. When the Crescent Brigade attacked Crescent City, they destroyed the power station and many power supply facilities.
As a result, the city's power supply has not been restored to normal.
The streetlights on both sides of the street are barely intact, and even the broken glass on the ground has not been cleaned up. Walking through a section, you can see half-collapsed buildings, a lot of rubble on both sides of the road, and if it is daytime, you will see bullet marks on the walls of buildings on both sides of the street.
In front is a tattered phone booth, which is a marker. Li Mu turned right at the street intersection in front. It's a narrow street, big enough for a car.
When he turned to the right, he was confronted by two soldiers with guns on their shoulders, talking from time to time. The distance between the two sides was less than three meters, and suddenly, the moonlight, which was still obscured by the clouds just now, fell down, and Li Mu happened to be facing the direction of the moon.
Under the moonlight, the two soldiers who suddenly stopped raised their eyes and saw Li Mu three meters away, covering their faces. Their pupils dilated instantly, and they subconsciously pulled the gun they were carrying.
Li Mu's movements were faster, and he started suddenly, leaving only an afterimage, and then flashed over. Three meters away, two or three steps away. His speed was too fast, and in the eyes of the two soldiers, it was like a high-speed train running at a speed of three hundred kilometers per hour, which was instantly magnified in front of his eyes.
Li Mu, who is known for his explosiveness, once had such a record: two meters away, face to face, and twisted the opponent's neck in 0.37 seconds.
In other words, many people encounter danger at this time, and their consciousness has almost just been sent out from the cranial nerve center to the limbs, and the faster ones are the relevant limbs that have just begun to react.
I don't know when, Li Mu's saber has been deeply pierced into the heart of the soldier on the right, and almost 0.7 seconds later, Li Mu's free hands have already controlled the jaw of the soldier on the left, and the arms of the two hands are crossed and bent hard, and with a "click" sound, his neck is broken alive. The broken bone punctured the trachea, and the soldier simply fell to the ground neatly, without making a sound.
The soldier who was pierced through the heart with precision subconsciously held the hilt of the knife exposed outside his body with both hands, his pupils dilated, then spread, and slowly fell, and he died in a few seconds.
Li Mu dragged the two corpses to a dark corner one by one, and quickly observed the surrounding situation, and there was no other movement.
After waiting for a few seconds, Li Mu pulled out the saber, and the bleeding speed was already very slow at the location of the corpse's heart wound.
At this time, Li Mu saw the appearance of these two corpses clearly, and his eyes suddenly widened - Caucasian!
If you look closely, it's the camouflage uniform of the Crescent Brigade. After the development of the Crescent Brigade, most of the troops had a uniform uniform. After a search, I didn't find anything on my body that could prove my identity.
Li Mu suddenly had a very strong premonition - the Crescent Moon Brigade was by no means as simple as it seemed. This extremist armed organization has been able to survive such a fierce attack by international public opinion, and not only has it not weakened, but has grown stronger.
Based on the information he had obtained before, Li Mu felt that he was walking step by step to see the inside story of the Crescent Brigade.
In the dark, Li Mu deeply felt that he was very likely to be confronted by the Crescent Brigade. In fact, he led his troops over to maintain peace, and he was already facing the Crescent Brigade. For a long time to come, the Crescent Brigade will be the main target of the United Nations peacekeeping force in South Sudan.
Putting aside these distractions for the time being, Li Mu quickly left there.
Note: There will be a delay, and it will be started after dinner......
