Chapter 169: Response
Twelve hours later, three helicopter gunships landed at the Corps' logistics base, which was 50 kilometers from the border.
At this time, it was exactly nine o'clock in the evening, and the night sky was cloudy and the visibility was extremely low.
As the door of the transport plane opened, several Humvees and two military trucks loaded with supplies were pulled out of it, lining up the empty base.
As Ye Zhan jumped out of the cockpit of the Humvee, thirty team members suddenly gathered in front of Ye Zhan to be reviewed by Ye Zhan, while the inseparable Tianxin stood beside Ye Zhan as an adjutant and reviewed the team together.
The supreme commander of the base had already arrived as soon as possible and stood up and saluted.
"Nie Dalong, Minister of Logistics of the Southwest Border, came to report and welcome the God of War to guide the work!"
Looking at the rank of captain on the shoulders of a middle-aged man in his forties and a national character face in front of him, Ye Zhan nodded.
"Don't be nervous, we're just passing by, we're about to rush to the border, this time we are facing the enemy is the notorious Leiyang organization, we have limited troops, we need to transfer personnel and materials from the base, and ask Captain Nie to open the door!"
"The chief is gracious!"
Nie Dalong stood straight.
"The Leiyang organization often launches provocations at the border, rampant and arrogant, but the other party often only harasses things, and does not contact our border guards head-on, very annoying, hindered by the border regulations and relations between the two countries, our border guards have always maintained restraint, this time, since the other party is so provocative, I personally and the garrison will spare no effort to remove this cancer, everything is at the disposal of the chief, there is no other word!"
"Good!"
Ye Zhan said: "I need a large number of sappers and engineering vehicles to build fortifications, and the more the better. ”
"Chief, please give me ten minutes, and I'll send men, is three hundred enough?"
"More than enough!"
"I'll arrange it right away!"
Half an hour later, a brand new convoy began to prepare and drove to the border.
In the car, Ye Zhan was holding a tactical tablet in his hand, and while studying the terrain around the border, he asked: "Tianxin, there is such a big movement on our side, there will definitely be some action on the side of the Leiyang Organization tonight, if you are the leader of the enemy camp, how are you going to deal with me?"
Tianxin, who had already done his homework, groaned for a while, and said: "Sir, the enemy will not easily cross the line, at most he will only attack us within the range of bullets, and the country will not admit that this kind of thing happened afterwards, so if it were me, after the intelligence officers detected a convoy of such a size, they would definitely dispatch personnel to arrange near the border."
On the one hand, in order to monitor our every move, on the other hand, we can also be ready to launch attacks and harassment at any time, at least we must not succeed in our goals, and we will have to delay until dawn. ”
Ye Zhan nodded and said: "Speaking of which, they will only choose some long-range strike weapons, and they will not choose to hurt people on a large scale in the early stage, but will only destroy our vehicles and large equipment, and on the premise that there is no direct contact between personnel, even if something happens, public opinion will not be able to help them, which will also avoid diplomatic disputes between the two countries." ”
Tianxin immediately said: "In any case, the enemy's first means must be to lurk, then infiltrate, and finally launch a strong attack, theoretically, as long as all our border guards are killed and not a single one is left alive, without leaving any evidence, we really can't help them." ”
Ye Zhan thought for a while and said: "In this way, what we have to do now is to seize the time to build fortifications, after all, our border post is built on the mountain, and there is a geographical advantage that is impossible to open, and if they want to enter the border, they can only forcibly raid head-on, so what we really want to guard against is their heavy weapons and snipers who are invincible." ”
Tianxin carefully looked back at the satellite map taken by the high-altitude drone, and then pointed to one place and said: "In the case of equal information between the two sides, if I am the enemy, I will choose this route, first there are snipers to occupy the absolute commanding heights, and then frontal heavy weapons such as *** strong attack, once the outer defense of the border post is blasted away, the crowd will be exposed, and it will immediately become the target of the enemy's snipers." ”
Ye Zhan took a deep breath, and immediately made new adjustments to the scheduled fortifications on the display screen, and only after repeatedly confirming that there were no loopholes, did he send the drawings to the corresponding chief engineer of the sapper, requiring construction to be carried out overnight, ensuring quality and quantity while compressing the time to the maximum.
At the same time, Ye Zhan delegated authority to Tianxin, who was an adjutant beside him, and let him lead a patrol commando team, act covertly, maintain mobility, and be responsible for searching for the enemy's hidden snipers.
Ye Zhan himself chose a mountain four kilometers apart and defined it as his final counterattack position, but he hoped in his heart that he would never use it.
When everything was arranged, Ye Zhan called out the thirty special forces carrying *** who were about to be requisitioned from the armament team, and asked these people to get ready, as long as the truck entered a radius of one kilometer from the border post, he immediately got out of the car and started the operation on foot.
In the wee hours of the morning, just when the fortifications were sixty percent complete and everything was on track, there was a sudden fog.
Fog in mountainous environments is a normal thing, especially in the early hours of the morning when the temperature is at its lowest.
The appearance of the fog immediately caused trouble to the construction of the project, but on the contrary, it protected the sappers who were racing against time in disguise, and under the fog, the snipers on both sides would become decorations.
Even if there is a thermal imager, in such foggy weather, after losing enough reference materials, it is impossible to judge the distance, and even if you find a target, it is difficult to identify whether the opponent is an enemy or your own people.
As a result, Ye Zhan's original plan was all disrupted, and he could only conservatively take a defensive position to respond to all changes.
It was also on Ye Zhan's side, when all the sappers were committed to building all kinds of unbelievable fortifications and laying traps, a message came from Tianxin, who was on the outermost part and closest to the enemy.
"The enemy has begun to make large-scale sorties, and the high-altitude drone has detected a large number of infrared life signals moving, and the preliminary estimate is about 300 people, but there is a team of about 20 people in the other side of the hidden location, and it is suspected that this is the enemy's suspicious strategy, and the real threat should be the team of these 20 people!"
"Well done!"
Ye Zhan said: "Stand by now, I will immediately allocate thirty elites to you, open your pockets immediately after the rendezvous, once the enemy enters the range of the pocket ambush circle, immediately start to attack, remember, be sure to leave a living mouth, the rest of the people, don't worry about killing!"
