After thinking about it for a while, Chen Tao raised his head, and then he realized that everyone's eyes were on him.

Chen Tao said in a deep voice, "I will first send an advance reconnaissance team. ”

This was his opinion, and the crowd did not speak, still looking at him, apparently waiting for the following.

Chen Tao said unhurriedly, "The content of the intelligence is nothing more than two possibilities, the first is conclusive, and the second is a trap. Whatever the possibility, one thing is for sure, and that is that there can be no mistake with the location. As long as a reconnaissance team is dispatched to search the target area and walk the route in the intelligence on the spot, of course, this part of the territory, then we will naturally know what we want to know. ”

It's a good idea.

But Xue Xiangyang didn't think about it, he had his own concerns.

"There are two questions about sending a reconnaissance team, first, whether it will be timely in time, and second, whether it will reveal its intentions in advance. Xue Xiangyang said calmly, "Staff Officer Chen, in your opinion, how to solve these two problems?"

Looking at the time, Chen Tao said, "If the reconnaissance team is dispatched at dawn now, it will definitely be in time, and the reconnaissance team will continue to work until the end of the entire operation." As for whether the intentions will be exposed in advance, Director Xue, we can figure out a way from the details. All in all, my opinion is that any combat plan formulated without first-hand reconnaissance intelligence is negligent. ”

This is the mentality of war, and it is not a last resort to fight a war that is uncertain.

"Send plainclothes?" Xue Xiangyang thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "It's a way to select capable personnel dressed in civilian clothes to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance. ”

Chen Tao said slowly, "It is not a trivial matter for more than a dozen people to cross the border with arms, and they need a lot of resources to train more than a dozen gunmen with military experience." Therefore, I judged that they would definitely arrange a pick-up or even a secret post on the route within the territory to report the situation at any time. ”

"What do you mean......" Xue Xiangyang frowned.

Division Commander Yang interjected at this time, "Director Xue, in terms of battlefield reconnaissance, I'm afraid our troops will be more professional than you, well, Staff Officer Chen's subordinates are the best at doing this, and my special service company can also be competent." ”

Xue Xiangyang understood that this was naturally not the time to fight for the limelight, and the fact was that the army was better at field operations, including battlefield reconnaissance.

"So, Staff Officer Chen, is there a problem with your Orion Squad and Hunter Squad, disguised as reconnaissance?" Xue Xiangyang said decisively.

Chen Tao smiled and said, "No problem at all." First of all, the terrain and situation in the target area should be clearly explored, and the mobile troops in the base should be on standby, and the time is right, so that they can immediately launch an interception, and the combat plan can be completely revised according to the real-time information transmitted back by the reconnaissance group. ”

"In that case, without further ado, let's start organizing the troops to set off, the base is in the target area, and it will take at least three hours to go. Xue Xiangyang said.

It is not simply that he will set off as soon as he says that he will set out, but that the reconnaissance operation must also draw up an operational plan and report it to the higher authorities for approval and filing before the troops can set off. Don't think it's easy to dispatch a dozen people. The Orion Squad and the Hunter Squad combined, nearly half a platoon's strength.

Several chiefs were busy, and naturally, the staff officers in the combat conference room were also dozed off and began to formulate reconnaissance action plans as if they were doping, and this was definitely not something that could be done by any staff officer who took a pencil and wrote and drew on a map, and it required the full cooperation of various departments, intelligence, logistics, weather, communications, and so on, and the work to be done was very complicated.

Therefore, the level of a staff department can be judged by basically how efficiently it comes up with a combat plan.

The meeting adjourned at 1:08 a.m., and the meeting lasted for more than an hour, at most four o'clock, when preparations were ready and the troops could set off.

Xue Xiangyang asked the bureau to send four Prados, all of which were civilian livery and all of which were civilian license plates, which were used to carry a total of seventeen personnel from the Orion pair and the Hunter Squad. Regardless of the specifications, the terrain and altitude of the target area make it difficult for other vehicles to pass along the road except for large-displacement off-road vehicles. And each car can carry four lanes and five people, which is also the limit.

Four plainclothes men who were familiar with the terrain drove and gathered in front of the office building, and then checked the vehicle again to make sure there were no problems.

Soon, the Orion Pair and the Hunter Squad were woken up from their slumber, and there was no emergency assembly whistle because it was a covert operation.

Chen Tao walked into the dormitory with a few soldiers holding a pile of clothes or something, and Li Mu and the others had already gotten up and were about to get dressed.

"Put these on and find the right size for you. Chen Tao pointed to the pile of civilian clothes and said.

Li Mu and the others didn't know what was going on at all, they were all ignorant, but the movements in their hands were not delayed at all, and they all hurriedly found clothes that suited them and put them on.

"Headhunter, what is this for?" Li Mu asked after tidying up his clothes.

Chen Tao asked the orderly soldiers to leave, then beckoned everyone to sit down, and said in a deep voice, "Have a short meeting, the specific task briefing is at 3:15, and there are still 15 minutes." ”

"There is a mission!" everyone's eyes lit up suddenly, and the last little sleepy insect flew out, and Shi Lei said in surprise.

Everyone sat down, and Chen Tao began to speak, "We are going to carry out a civilian reconnaissance mission, and the PMR plateau is close to the border side. ”

Li Mu gasped, the PMR plateau with an altitude of more than four thousand meters is generally above sea level, not to mention the temperature at this time, the thin air alone is a natural difficulty that has to be taken seriously.

"The intelligence services have obtained information that a group of terrorists of 10 to 15 people will sneak into our territory from the southwestern side of the PMR plateau with weapons on the 19th, which is seen as revenge for our capture of spiders alive. However, the veracity of the information has yet to be confirmed, but the location is certain. The command decided to send a reconnaissance group to take the lead in conducting reconnaissance of the target area. The Orion squad was divided into two reconnaissance groups, and the Hunter squad was divided into three reconnaissance groups, and set off at 4:15. ”

At this time, the soldiers understood why among the clothes distributed were tight-fitting sweaters with good thermal performance.

"The purpose of this reconnaissance operation is to find out whether there is an ambush in the target area, to find out the terrain of the target infiltration route in the target area, and to provide strong battlefield intelligence support for subsequent interception operations. Chen Tao held up a finger, "But all the premise is that your identity must not be revealed, otherwise the subsequent actions will be aborted." ”

Li Mu and the others subconsciously puffed up their chests. Chinese hunters
