Cola chose a Gatling in his hand, weighed the weight, and then placed it on the large table, skillfully examining the various parts.

Du Xiaofan couldn't help but say, "This thing can only play a role for ten seconds." I suggest you choose something else. ”

Coke glanced at Du Xiaofan, ignored it, and continued to move on his hands.

Wood's death hit him hard, and the originally cheerful and outgoing person has now become taciturn. Wood is a fire support hand, and his favorite thing to use is this multi-barreled machine gun that can solve all problems. Coke remembers very well and sees himself as a fire support hand.

Cola is not a power-type fighter, but when Du Xiaofan saw him lift the Gatling multi-barrel machine gun as if he was carrying a wooden stick, he dispelled his worries.

Everyone else has successively picked out their own weapons, and they have all tacitly chosen guns of a unified caliber, so that the ammunition can be universal.

Without exception, all American firearms were chosen - it has to be said that there are other considerations in this.

While they were sorting out the weapons and ammunition, Du Xiaofan said to Li Mu solemnly, "Lao Li, you are a veteran, you know the rules, and I won't bother to talk about other precautions." ”

As he spoke, Du Xiaofan took out the new documents and passes of the demon commando team and put them on the table, "You are employees of a security company run by a Chinese, and here are the documents of each of you, the license to carry weapons, and the pass. However, these things are only valid in the areas controlled by government forces. DIS doesn't recognize these things. ”

Li Mu nodded, "Our actions are the private actions of overseas Chinese enterprises. ”

"Yes, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it is not officially recognized. Du Xiaofan said in a deep voice, "Therefore, from the beginning to the end of the operation, you can only rely on yourself." On my side, I can only provide you with communication support within the scope of my authority. ”

Shi Lei suddenly said, "Lao Du, aren't you going with us?"

Du Xiaofan shook his head, "My post is here." ”

Li Mu glanced at Shi Lei, picked up the M4A2 carbine, shook it, there was no noise from the firearm, walked over, picked up a tactical backpack, loaded things into it, and said to Du Xiaofan, "Old Du, the communication depends on you." ”

He looked at Du Xiaofan and said slowly, "Whether we can come back smoothly or not is inseparable from your communication support." ”

"I understand, you can rest assured. Du Xiaofan nodded.

Small-scale assault rescue operations are very demanding on communications, almost as important as intelligence support. In any special operations operation, the first two conditions must be met, the first is intelligence, and the second is communications, otherwise there is no way to talk about success.

Du Xiaofan's men have made great efforts to obtain the exact location of the hostages in such a short period of time, and such intelligence is the cornerstone of the operation. And one of the key points of the success or failure of the operation is to ensure the smooth communication between the commandos and the rear.

Communication is the premise of intelligence support, and only when the communication between the commando and the rear is smooth, the rear can continuously provide intelligence support for the commando, and even guide the commando to retreat safely.

Therefore, intelligence and communications have always been one and the same, complementary and indispensable.

The reason why Shi Lei wants Du Xiaofan to follow the commando is precisely because of this consideration. There is no doubt that with an intelligence expert like Du Xiaofan, the rescue operation is more certain.

Intelligence is the key to the success or failure of an operation.

It's just that Shi Lei's perspective on the problem is inconsistent with Du Xiaofan's perspective on the problem. To be precise, Du Xiaofan can only make the most of all the resources available to support the demon commando team by staying in the rear.

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in.

Li Mu looked up and was stunned.

He knew that person, and he was an old friend, Wang Ming, who had worked together in South Sudan in the past, and an instructor of the peacekeeping infantry battalion.

"Tell me about it. This is Colonel Wang Ming, the political commissar of our station. Du Xiaofan introduced Li Mu, "This is ......"

"Master Li. Wang Ming smiled and stretched out his hand and said to Du Xiaofan, "I am old friends with Master Li. ”

Du Xiaofan was a little surprised, "You know?"

Li Mu came back to his senses and shook hands with Wang Ming, "I was in South Sudan for peacekeeping and set up a team. Commissar Wang, long time no see. ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and Master Li has changed too much. Wang Ming said with a smile.

At this time, Li Mu was thin and dry, and he didn't have his previous image at all, and he was very vicissitudes. On the other hand, Wang Ming is becoming more and more energetic, and he knows that he is living very well when he looks at it.

"The same goes for you. I thought you were still guarding the warehouse. Li Mu said with a smile.

Wang Ming said with a smile, "Revolutionary soldiers are bricks, and I will go wherever the organization tells me to go." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at it and said in the style of a leader, "How are you preparing? One more minute of fighting, and the probability of the hostage being alive is one point greater. Whether you can get people back or not is up to you. ”

Wang Ming looked at Li Mu and said meaningfully, "Master Li personally went out of the horse, and my heart was half relieved." ”

With that, he waved his hand and walked out of the room.

Li Mu looked at Du Xiaofan.

Du Xiaofan heard that there was a contradiction between this Wang Ming and Li Mu.

"He can be half of the house here, and he has the right to oversee it. Du Xiaofan said.

Li Mu asked, "Political security?"

Du Xiaofan nodded, "You and him, what's the matter?"

Li Mu said, "In South Sudan back then, there were some contradictions. Later, he was demoted, and I heard that he was transferred to the mountains to guard the warehouse. Unexpectedly, in a few years, the salted fish turned over. ”

Du Xiaofan and Li Mu stepped aside and whispered, "He is very valued by a certain head of the headquarters. The chief thought that some of the work of our intelligence services outside was not supervised, so he sent him over. ”

With a deep groan, Li Mu said to Du Xiaofan solemnly, "Old Du, you have to be careful with this person, especially after we start to act. You know what I mean. ”

Du Xiaofan nodded solemnly.

Looking at the time, Li Mu said, "Let's talk about the action plan." ”

The one who knows the most about the situation is undoubtedly Du Xiaofan, so he made several sets of action plans to provide to the demon commandos as a blueprint. Including the infiltration route, evacuation route, and the target building group, that is, the distribution of the DIS forward base force deployment buildings, etc., according to various factors to come up with a rescue plan.

Li Mu gathered everyone together, gathered around the table, and began to discuss the plan of action.

Du Xiaofan took out a hand-drawn action plan map with a very high level of mapping and spread it out, pointed to the route above and said, "We have prepared two off-road vehicles, you sneak in from the northwest of Baghdad airport, this is a relatively weak place for the two sides to exchange fire, the DIS troops here are the weakest, and the terrain is very flat. Cross the line of fire and head about five kilometres southwest onto Route 97. ”

The route is clear, Highway 97 leads directly to the forward base of the DIS, a flat river, if it goes well, at most twenty minutes, the demon commandos can reach the forward base of the DIS.

Shi Lei shook his head and said, "Lao Du, your idea is good, but it's not realistic." DIS's mechs are based on Route 97, do you think we can move on this road with dignity?"

Du Xiaofan said, "Night operations can minimize the probability of encountering enemy troops. There is only one checkpoint on Route 97, and the convoys are basically carrying supplies to the front line. As long as you don't encounter the advancing enemy forces, it's not a big problem. The whole process is only twenty minutes. We have been informed that DIS has no plans to increase troops on the front line in the near future. So, this is a point that can be leveraged. ”

At this point, Grimace suddenly interjected, "But it's an unstable factor. When encountering an organized enemy army, the rescue operation basically failed. ”

Encountering an organized enemy army, and it must be a mechanized unit, the demon commandos themselves will not be able to protect, let alone rescue the hostages.

The pig killing knife said leisurely, "It would be great if I could get a helicopter." ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Du Xiaofan broke his illusion, "Neither side knows our actions, where to get a helicopter." Only cars. ”

There was silence for a while.

Li Mu asked, "Is there another route?"

"Yes. ”

Du Xiaofan replied, "But to pass through the defensive positions in depth of the DIS, you see, before Highway 97 and Highway 11, DIS deployed a mechanized infantry battalion here to cut off the connection between the Baghdad airport and Highway 11. It is precisely because of this that the government army fought so hard. ”

After a pause, he added, "Route 11 is the lifeline of the government army, and all the supplies on the front line depend on this road for transportation. After the closure of Highway 11, a large amount of supplies accumulated at the Baghdad airport could not be sent to the front. ”

Grimace said, "This defensive position in depth is five kilometers long, and it is difficult to achieve it by stealthily passing through here." ”

Du Xiaofan said, "There are only these two routes." ”

The first route, through kilometer 97, enters from the northwest direction of the DIS forward base, and the latter route enters from the direction due east of the DIS forward base. Judging from the force situation map, the best route is to enter due east. Because it was the flank of the entire formation of the DIS troops, it was the direction in which they deployed relatively heavy troops, and at the same time, it was also the direction where it was easiest to relax their vigilance.

Either route carries a huge risk.

It couldn't be simpler that there are only these two routes for retreat. In other words, whether it is the route to enter or the route to evacuate, there are not many options for the demon commandos. The assault distance of 25 kilometers may not be long, but it is very likely to become an inexhaustible part of the demon commando.

This may be the most uncertain raid that Li Mu has ever been exposed to. To put it bluntly, out of the sphere of influence of the government army, all the intelligence information and the deployment of the enemy's troops, the intelligence support team on Du Xiaofan's side cannot give an absolutely definite answer.

To get to this point, Du Xiaofan's intelligence team has done its best, and for this, they have also exposed a local insider who has been lurking for many years.

Du Xiaofan's mood was very complicated and anxious, and no one wanted to provide more and more accurate information for the demon commandos more than him. But he tried his best, and he could only get to this point.

In the final analysis, the formulation of the action plan still requires Li Mu, the commander, to make the final decision.
