Only three out of nearly fifty people from the reconnaissance corps came back? And all of them were seriously injured …
Wasn't the casualty rate a little too high?
Other than Xiao Zheng and a few other strong-willed commanders, the rest of the leaders had subtle changes in their expressions.
In society, as long as there was a malicious bandit, the local law enforcement agency would send hundreds of fully-armed law enforcers. Because of this, they were criticized by countless idiots. They felt that they were making a mountain out of a molehill and that the law enforcers were afraid of death —
Nonsense!
Who the hell wasn't afraid of death?
Bank robbers weren't afraid of death?
They were afraid too! But they had high risks and high rewards! As long as they survived, they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives!
What about the law enforcers?
Even if they were brave enough to kill all the robbers, they would at most get a reward of five hundred and a banner —
Was there a comparison?
The risk of anti-terrorist operations was definitely much higher than law enforcement in a society ruled by law. But the soldiers they brought were all first-class soldiers. They were experienced and battle-hardened.
They even knew that they would definitely lose many comrades in this anti-terrorist operation. Maybe they could still eat and chat together today, but tomorrow, they would have to say goodbye forever.
Everyone in the room knew about these risks!
But no one expected the Jihad's counterattack ability to be so strong!
Out of the fifty or so scouts, only three returned!
Moreover, everyone knew that these scouts were not tied together, but acted separately — this was even more proof of the Jihad's powerful combat power!
For a moment, the conference room was silent, only heavy breathing could be heard.
General Hill was old and experienced, so he was still calm. After ordering someone to bring Danny back for treatment, he closed the door and slowly turned around.
In just a moment, General Hill seemed to have aged ten years. He was haggard.
"Everyone, you already know what happened." General Hill smiled bitterly. "I wanted to be the vanguard for everyone, so that it would be convenient for you to take action next. But it turns out that I was too rash. Not only did I lose nearly fifty subordinates, but I also didn't get enough information. "
Reconnaissance was not rash.
Any victory had enough information to support it. Otherwise, it would be like a blind man crossing a river. He would definitely drown.
"General Hill, I sympathize with what happened to your subordinates," Xiao Zheng slowly stood up and said calmly. "But in war, people die. Either the enemy dies, or we die. You don't have to blame yourself. We can't let such a small setback affect our fighting spirit. "
After a short pause, he swept his gaze across the audience and said word by word, "Since we're sitting here, we're already prepared to sacrifice ourselves. The only thing that mattered was that we couldn't sacrifice ourselves for nothing. I want my death to be worthwhile! "
Xiao Zheng's words were very common, and they were often heard in movies and television. But now that he had said it, it immediately ignited the flames of war in everyone present!
Yes!
Which country didn't come with the expectations of its citizens?
Today, they were fighting in a foreign land!
But if they didn't get rid of the enemy, who could guarantee that these crazy terrorists wouldn't move to their own country?
The era of sweeping one's own doorstep was over!
Now, not only did they have to fight for their country, but they also had to fight for the people of the world!
It was a grand dream.
It was also reality!
If you don't stand up today, countless people will fall tomorrow.
They might be people you don't know, or they might be your closest family!
"That's right!" Colonel Mike suddenly stood up and said word by word. "General Hill, we're sorry for what happened to your subordinates. But just as Instructor Xiao said, we're already prepared to die this time. But even if we die, we can't let these terrorists get away with it and continue to harm innocent citizens! "
Bai En also punched the table and stood up, "I suggest we immediately counterattack! Capture all these terrorists in one fell swoop! "
General Hill immediately perked up after being provoked by his juniors.
He picked up the baton again and pointed at the terrain on the map, "Through this investigation, I'm even more certain that this is their base camp. Otherwise, they wouldn't have mobilized such a powerful force to encircle us. "
"This area is bordered by the three countries, and the terrain is complicated. Even if we can capture their nest, we must prevent them from escaping. " We must also prevent them from escaping, "Xiao Zheng said with pursed lips.
"Yes. We've already considered this point. Of the three neighboring countries, apart from us, the other two countries have already greeted them. The border will be heavily guarded. We must catch them! "General Hill gritted his teeth and said.
The tragic deaths of his subordinates filled him with hatred. His hostility towards the Holy Warriors was also unprecedented.
Mike nodded and said, "According to the clues provided by your subordinates. The other party should have ambushes at several important checkpoints. As long as we can break through these lines of defense, I believe we can capture them all in one fell swoop. "
"But these places are easy to defend and difficult to attack." Xiao Zheng shook his head and said. "If we force our way in, we'll lose many brothers."
Bai En glanced at Xiao Zheng and asked, "Instructor Xiao, what do you mean?"
"Send out surprise troops," Xiao Zheng said word by word. "Do it at night!"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard that.
It was understandable to do it at night.
Moreover, it was most suitable to do it at night for a counter-terrorism operation like this. But send out surprise troops?
Everyone understood the principle of speed in war. However, the other party had the defensive power of nearly a thousand people. No matter how amazing the troops were, it would probably be difficult to tear through the other party's defense, right?
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Zheng and pondered.
Xiao Zheng said calmly, "After dark, we will split up. We will send out troops at the same time at a fixed time. We will catch them off guard. "
After a slight pause, Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "As long as everything goes smoothly, we can end the battle within twelve hours."
Mike and Bai En looked at each other and agreed that this was the best battle plan.
Originally, the first rule of their battle plan was to reduce the risk and win with fewer as much as possible. But reality proved that this method would not work. Because even the most secretive and secretive scouting corps were killed without leaving a single armor. Other than fighting head on, there was no other way!
Do it at night.
Surprise troops.
The two keywords that Xiao Zheng mentioned became the core of the entire meeting. The leaders of each country gave their suggestions and added bricks and tiles to the specific plan.
The meeting lasted from ten in the morning to eight in the evening. They didn't even have time to eat until the meeting ended.
"Instructor Xiao, I am not your opponent in a one on one fight." Mike said calmly. "But on the battlefield, you may not be my opponent!"
There wasn't much provocation in his words. Instead, it was more like a healthy competition. Mike said confidently, "Why don't we compete to see who completes the mission first?"
"Whoever loses will treat all the brothers to a drink. Everyone who sees it has a share. "Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled.
"It's a deal!" Mike laughed heartily. It was no longer the tit-for-tat in the morning. The atmosphere was harmonious.
