The commanders of Hua Xia's army gathered in Jiang Qing's dormitory for a small meeting. Their thoughts were divergent, but they were all discussing the encirclement and annihilation mission tomorrow night.
According to the investigation team sent by General Hill, there were a total of four strongholds in the area called John Town, and they had powerful firepower. They were heavily guarded. Of course, this was only the information obtained by the scouts. As for whether there were bigger checkpoints, it would be up to them to explore.
The area called John Town was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and dense forests were everywhere. It also provided a good shelter for the Holy War Organization. Even a large truck would find it difficult to move freely, much less a huge army.
The mountain roads were difficult to travel on, and the forest hindered the convenient transportation. They could only travel on foot.
Tan Li, who was sitting next to Jiang Qing, asked curiously, "Speed is important in war. As long as they land in a suitable location, or even appear at the back of the organization, wouldn't they be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop? "
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng did not belittle Tan Li's lack of experience in tactical planning, and only explained patiently, "John Town looks steep, but it's not too big. Furthermore, many of the checkpoints were heavily guarded. This greatly facilitates the air control ability of each stronghold. If we send the paratroopers, they might be discovered by the ground troops of each stronghold before they even land, and then quickly killed. "
"This isn't speed, it's suicide," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "On the other hand, the landing of the paratroopers is only suitable for use in large areas. John Town is too small. Once the paratroopers encounter strong air currents or strong winds at high altitudes, they are very likely to be blown out of their designated location. This way, it would be useless. "
Hearing that, Tan Li could not help but come to a realization. Nodding, she continued to ask, "If we can't use the paratroopers, then why not send the air force to attack indiscriminately? Air strikes first, then our ground troops will advance, and we can greatly reduce the casualty rate. "
Wei Jiang chuckled, shook his head and said, "Old Tan. If it was so easy to wipe out the Holy War Organization, would we even need to come? General Hill would have wiped them out long ago. "
Xiao Zheng explained patiently, "According to the information provided by General Hill, John Town has about a thousand residents. Some are natives, and some migrated later. But no matter which one it is, we can't hurt the innocent. Otherwise, he would be condemned by the whole world. This anti-terrorist operation has lost its original meaning. "
Tan Li was suddenly enlightened, but her pretty face was slightly hot. He felt that he was too unprofessional. It was better to take care of their own logistics and hygiene work. Don't randomly express your opinion, lest it affects the progress of the meeting …
Wei Jiang spread out the map on the table, pointed to John Town, and said, "Our Hua Xia Army is in charge of the eastern stronghold. It was about an hour's walk from the drop-off point. If we pick up the pace, we can arrive in forty minutes. "
Jiang Qing pursed his lips and said, "Sure. Although the time of the operation had been fixed. But after we arrive, we can investigate first. Gather more information. "
"Mm." Wei Jiang expressed his agreement.
Both of them were experienced tacticians. Even if he wasn't as good as Xiao Zheng, he was definitely a first-rate commander. At this moment, the opinions that were put forward were all of high value. It wasn't something Tan Li's ignorant suggestion could compare to.
"The army will be divided into three squads. Each of you will lead one squad, and I will lead one myself," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "After we arrive at the destination, I will lead a squad for a field investigation. To prevent the enemy from cheating. "
"That won't do!" Wei Jiang shook his head and refused. "You are the first commander. You must not go to the front line. I'll go. "
"There's no room for discussion." Xiao Zheng waved his hand resolutely. "You are both tacticians. But I am an expert in actual combat. I'm not bragging, but the number of battles the two of you have fought together can't even compare to a year of mine. "
This was really not bragging!
As a mercenary, it was normal for him to be active in the war zone all year round. On average, two out of every three missions that Xiao Zheng took were to assassinate important military or political officials. Most of them were even non-government officials.
Therefore, among everyone present, he had the most experience in actual combat, and his acuity was also the strongest. Otherwise, how could he have survived until today?
On the battlefield, no matter how heaven-defying one's strength was, it could only reduce the risk to a certain extent. It was impossible to completely avoid it.
Just like how he could rely on his strong sense of crisis to avoid one or two bullets — but could he avoid random gunfire, or even carpet bombing from artillery shells?
The reason that Xiao Zheng was able to enter and exit unscathed was not because of his heaven-defying strength, but because of his extremely rich experience in the battlefield.
And in this regard, no one present was more experienced than him.
He was the first commander, and no one could refute his words.
After the meeting, everyone left the dormitory. However, Xiao Zheng just sat on the chair and focused on studying the map. Seeing this, Jiang Qing did not ask him to leave, but helped him to refill a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng thanked him, then looked up and said. "What do you think about this mission?"
"It's very difficult. The risk is very high. "Jiang Qing said concisely.
"That's it?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
These views were the consensus. It was not Xiao Zheng's original intention to ask her.
Jiang Qing was taken aback at first, then asked, "What's your plan?"
"I don't have any plan." Xiao Zheng shook his head lightly, his eyes solemn. "I'm just wondering if we can return to Huaxia together this time."
Jiang Qing's heart trembled slightly.
"Will it be that serious?" Jiang Qing asked with a frown.
"You haven't dealt with them, but I have." But I've come into contact with it, "Xiao Zheng said with pursed lips. "This group of terrorists is simply a group of inhumane beasts."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
"If I'm not wrong, this group of vanguard troops guarding the checkpoint will be intercepted by a group of underage children," Xiao Zheng said with a solemn look.
"What!?" Jiang Qing asked in disbelief. "Underage children?"
According to Hua Xia's laws, eighteen years old was considered an adult. Wouldn't sixteen or seventeen years old be underage?
The reason why Xiao Zheng brought this up now was because he was worried that they would be intercepted by a group of child scouts.
And a group of armed child scouts would not be any less lethal than an adult, in fact, they would be even more lethal!
That was because any adult would be fearful and — unable to bear to face armed child scouts.
Jiang Qing fell into deep thought.
But soon, she slowly raised her head and said calmly, "Have they killed anyone?"
"They are terrorists," Xiao Zheng said concisely.
Which terrorist didn't kill?
Would a terrorist who didn't kill still be a terrorist?
"A group of child scouts whose hands are stained with blood. They don't deserve sympathy, "Jiang Qing said word by word. "What's more, they are children when they put down their weapons. When they pick up their weapons, they are warriors. "
