"Good job. Lin Rui nodded, "I'm sorry to let you do this kind of work." It's just that none of us are very good at it. ”

"I know that somebody has to do it. Crazy Horse snorted a cigarette in his mouth, "What's next?"

Lin Rui turned to Second Lieutenant Mark and said, "Second Lieutenant, I need you to use your strength to help us gather information about that Aita village. Your local friends may be able to provide more information about these hidden extremist militants. ”

"Okay, I'll do my best. Ensign Mark nodded. "There is still some time before dawn, you can rest for a while, and I will arrange it. ”

"Okay. Lin Rui nodded, and after he left, Lin Rui immediately made a gesture to the actuary Jiang'an, "The situation may not be good." ”

"What's wrong?" Shogishi whispered, "Aren't you already able to roughly locate the whereabouts of this investigation team?"

Lin Rui nodded, "It's because of this that I'm worried." Because they may be locked up in the place where the gas shells are made, we must not leak this information. Because Mr. K's goal is clear: to rescue the investigation team while preventing them from knowing the origin of the chemical weapons. If Mr. K had realized, it was possible that they had come into contact with the truth. Maybe they're going to do an airstrike on that place, killing us and the investigation team. ”

"What then?" whispered Crazy Horse.

"Remember, all of our next actions are to avoid escalation. lest Mr. K perceive the problem. He is a very suspicious person, and the more uncertain things are, the less easily he will make a decision. In the absence of much information, it would be difficult for him to deal with the investigation team. As for us, we'd better act on the opportunistic. Later, I'll keep Ensign Mark tight-lipped. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"Will he listen to us?" said Shogishi with a frown.

"It wouldn't be, but now it will. Lin Rui glanced at the interrogation room.

At this time, Second Lieutenant Mark walked back, "It's arranged, as soon as dawn, our friends in the local area will go out to understand the situation, and I believe there will be news soon." ”

"Very good ensign. One more thing, regarding the whereabouts of this investigation and forensics team, I hope you will be wise to keep it a secret. Lin Rui looked at him and said.

"Why? Isn't it a good thing to know their whereabouts?" said Mark, a little confused.

Lin Rui walked over, pulled Ensign Mark and said, "Listen to Mark." We don't care about it. But you are an active duty officer, and your actions are subject to military discipline. If you report the matter truthfully, then you must state the source of the information. You're going to explain the source of the information, how do you explain the bloody guy in the interrogation room? You worked so hard that you could have been awarded a medal for this mission. You don't want to associate yourself with a prisoner abuse scandal, do you? If you report it honestly, it's a nuisance. ”

Second Lieutenant Mark was taken aback, he looked at Lin Rui and said, "This...... Are we going to hide it and not report it?"

"It's not that you don't hide it, but you can be more strategic and don't reveal too much detail to the above. And when we succeed in rescuing people, then even if you have made a great contribution, no one will be held accountable for the little omission before. Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is for the sake of your future." I don't want to see your military career end in a gloomy image because of the prisoner abuse scandal. Do you know what I mean?"

"Understood, let's not report this matter first, and when the matter is successful, it will be our freedom to say whatever we want. Ensign Mark understood and said with a smile, "Thanks for the reminder." I think I'll have to treat you to a drink when things work out. ”

"Well said, well said. Lin Rui patted him and said.

After finishing Second Lieutenant Mark, Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Jiang Andao, "You can rest assured for the time being." The investigation team's affairs in Aita Village, Mark should not talk nonsense. This gave us a little respite, but we still had to get the team out as soon as possible. It's best before they get their hands on the source of the chemical agent, I don't want to be forced to get rid of them. ”

"Map!" Shogan stretched out his hand and took out the tactical tablet, "Our location is here, the distance between Aita Village and us in a straight line is thirteen kilometers, but if you really follow the road, it should be farther. The village is surrounded by mountains to the northwest and the Karida River to the east. All of these small villages and residential areas, marked in red, are areas where extremist militants are active. Through comparison, we can see that this piece of Aita Village is simply red and purple. It is simply the stronghold of extremist militants. ”

"Yes, there are many villages around this village of Aita, all of which are controlled by extremist militants. It's going to be hard for us to get through their zone and into the village of Aita. Shogishi frowned.

"I have news from the crystal here, and their people have more detailed information than the U.S. military. The details are as detailed as the number of personnel and defenses in each village. But in my opinion, even if we have mastered this, it is of no great use, because it is impossible for us to break through with these few people. Even if we know that they are weakly defended, we can't force a breakthrough against their weak defenses.

Because even if we rush through a small village, the other militants in the vicinity will be alarmed. The final result of our defeat can only be outnumbered, either in vain, or we will be divided and surrounded by them, and we will not even have a chance to evacuate. Crazy Horse looked at the tactical computer in his hand.

"So, it's hard for us to sneak into the village of Aita as usual. This is also the reason why the Iraqi military has attacked them several times without success, and the surrounding small villages are like early warning facilities in the village of Aita. The slightest movement of the ground forces will lead to a melee. The extremist militants in Aita will have ample time to react, either by hiding in the mountains or by following the road to other villages in the lower reaches of the Kalida River. Lin Rui pointed to the map.

"The Iraqi government forces are not capable, because the best way to attack such a place is a highly mobile airborne operation. With a capable airborne commando, quickly cut off the connection between their command headquarters and the outside world. Only by cooperating with peripheral operations can we succeed in one fell swoop. Shogishi nodded, "And of course we can't do that at the moment." So there's only one way to think about it. Fight in a roundabout way and avoid the surrounding villages. Head north along the Kalida River and then turn southeast. Entering from the mountainous area northwest of Aita should avoid most of the extremist militants and make a surprise move into the middle of Aita village. ”
