Chapter 621: To Go Home,!
"But isn't it? We used to send us to death!" said André, Prince of Oman, with his head shaking like a rattle, "No! If you want to go, you go, anyway, my bodyguards and I won't go!"
"It was absolutely impossible for us to escape from the enemy's guns with great difficulty, and to send us in! Two and a half battalions, even half a battalion, are not something we can deal with. A bodyguard said.
"You Chinese are stupid. One guy even scolded.
The bodyguard who broke off the small convoy also said: "I know that you Chinese people are very good at fighting and very courageous. But you really can't do that. We don't know anything about the situation at the airport now, who knows if Libya will send planes to bring soldiers over?"
……
Although everyone shouted in a chaotic manner, they had only one meaning, that is, to resolutely oppose the attack on the airfield.
Jiang Xinwei said: "You are quiet. I know what you're worried about, but, if you think about it, this airfield is just a small airfield, and one regiment is stationed in more troops than a small airfield needs. When the battle began, it was impossible for the enemy to reinforce them, and they could only reinforce them when it was critical. But at that time, we had already landed the airfield, and we all fled, so what were we afraid of? Besides, if you don't take the risk of trying, are you willing to wait for death in this vast grassland?"
Everyone fell silent: Yes, who wants to wander in this vast grassland where there are no villages in front of the village and no shops in the back? Although everyone still has bullets in their hands, if they encounter bandits and rebels, they can hold out for a few days? Even the wild beasts of the grassland have to consume a lot of bullets, and after a long time, they don't even have anything to eat.
Compared to sleeping in the open, worrying, and even dying, it is much better to gamble once.
Nobody likes war, but sometimes it doesn't work without fighting.
Prince Pierre of Belgium asked, "Can you guarantee that we will be able to take the airfield guarded by almost one regiment before their reinforcements arrive? With more than thirty of us here, we can kill ten of them by one person, and you think that we are all supermen." ”
Jiang Xinwei said with a smile: "We are being chased and killed by the enemy anyway, why don't we fight back? Even if we can't succeed in seizing the airport, at least we can scare them and not dare to chase and kill us at will." If we fail, we will still flee as we do now, but if we succeed? Won't we just run away by plane? Do you like the days when you keep running away?"
Prince Abdul of the UAE said: "However, there are always dead people in war." We are not strong in the first place, and now we go to attack the airfield, in case the enemy kills many of us, we will not even be able to escape. ”
Jiang Xinxu said: "You are princes, we are really going to fail, you should flee quickly." You really can't escape, you raise your hands and surrender, and let your family pay for you. Anyway, there's little chance you'll lose your life. …… , I said, we who attack are not afraid, what are you afraid of more than us who go back to the road?"
There are all young people here, and the older ones are also bodyguards, so although these people think Jiang Xinwei's plan is ridiculous, they slowly agree with his idea and think it's okay to gamble. After all, no one wants to be driven around like a rat, and no one likes to be a captive or a hostage. If you can escape through the efforts of your own people, you will definitely be a hero.
If you have the opportunity to be a hero, a fool will be a bear.
Under Jiang Xinwei's painstaking persuasion, these people finally reached a reunification.
Jiang Xinxu immediately began to implement his plan: first, he divided everyone into two parts, one was the fighters, and the multinational alliance combat team composed of strong and well-trained people, including himself, Ma Liantao, Liu Changgui, and sixteen bodyguards who volunteered to participate in the battle. The rest were organized into logistics teams.
The logistics team was named just because they didn't want to embarrass those people, because they didn't send food and grass to the combat team, and they didn't transport ammunition to the combat team. They are simply watchers, they just need to wait and see, and if the combat team succeeds, they will come out of hiding and fly back to Saudi Arabia in the captured plane. If the combat team fails, they turn around and run away, as far as they can.
Of course, these people still have to take care of the wounded, and it makes sense to say that it is a logistics team.
After dividing the team, everyone is there for a simple cooperation, familiar with the names of the people around them, familiar with other people's specialties, especially know what weapons the people around them use, which aspect they are good at, so that they can cooperate well when fighting, when they need to deliver firepower, heavy machine gunners or mortars, when they need to snipe, snipers, when they need reconnaissance, people who are good at observing.
For those whose names are too long and awkward, Jiang Xinwei ordered them to take a code name, such as thatch, viper, gray mouse or something. As a result, many people are willing to choose a code name for themselves, so that later sticks, stones, leeches, monkeys, and so on all represent a certain person.
They conducted a very relaxed coordination exercise, and there was no real gun exercise.
After lunch, Jiang Xinwei divided the 19 fighters, including himself, into two groups: the first group of eight people was in charge of Ma Liantao, and Liu Changgui was also in this group, serving as the deputy of the team, and the team members included Nosradi, Ali, Mirihad, Bahars and others.
The second group of eight people was led by a Belgian bodyguard codenamed Gray Mouse. The people in their group are basically code names, thatch is the team deputy, viper is the assaulter, monkey is the observer, and leech is the spearhead......
Then the two groups practiced separately and cooperated. For example, practice searching in battle formation, attacking in battle formation, and how to retreat if you lose a battle. At the same time, they learned a few simple gestures together, so that they could communicate with them when they couldn't speak.
These people are well-trained people, they don't need to be trained in detail, they just need to explain a little bit and let them know their responsibilities, know who are their coverers, those who replace the task, and those who transfer power when they are injured.
It can be said that these bodyguards of the princes are selected from one in a hundred, and many of them are all-rounders, who can serve as sniper missions, as sharp soldiers, and as firepower projectors.
Seeing that their companions were so good, all the people in the combat team suddenly gained confidence, and they all felt that they could try it, and if they could do it seriously, they would see the opportunity to escape, and they all felt that these eighteen people were enough to overthrow others, a regiment, and a division. Even if the other side is not a rabble, they have enough ability to defeat them.
Their self-confidence even infected the people in the logistics group, and several bodyguards regretted a little that they didn't sign up for the combat team, even the Belgian prince was a little eager to join the combat team, but Jiang Xinwei resolutely refused.
Just kidding, special operations are not something you have to be confident in.
Next, Jiang Xinwei convened a meeting of Ma Liantao, Liu Changgui, Gray Mouse, and Thatch to discuss the issue of the offensive target.
Unexpectedly, there were two opinions among the five people, and Jiang Xinwei's opinions became a minority, except for himself, the opinions of the other four people were very unanimous, that is, to attack the defenders of the airport first-the airport garrison battalion.
Ma Liantao said the reasons on their behalf: first, the persimmon picks a soft pinch. The political forces that had just surrendered were definitely weaker than the rebels and the Libyan troops, and they were now suspicious, anxious about others treating them as cannon fodder, and worried that others would despise them and be thrown aside, plus they felt a little guilty in their hearts, so it was not a big problem to defeat them.
Second, this is the first real battle of the Allied combat team, and there has been no run-in before, and there is no bottom on how everyone will fight. It is absolutely necessary to sharpen the knife against a weak opponent, as long as the garrison of this political army is defeated, everyone's self-confidence will really become stronger, and they will be able to face further opponents.
Thirdly, after defeating this garrison battalion of the political army, the small airfield will be in the hands of the Allied combat team, and even if it cannot be eliminated later, it can drive the Libyan army away, maybe let the plane take off, and send out some of the personnel. You can also find some ammo, food, etc. to resupply. It would be even better if the tanks and armored vehicles in the hands of the defenders could be captured, the combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly increased, and the Libyan anti-aircraft artillery battalion would be more certain.
Jiang Xinwei objected to their opinions, thinking that the four of them were a bit taken for granted:
Although the garrison battalion that had just surrendered was five scum in combat, the other side had been guarding here for many years, and was absolutely familiar with the terrain and fortifications, plus tanks and armored vehicles, it was difficult for the eighteen of them to take it down at once. As the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, a fox bites a person in a hurry, and the officers and soldiers of these garrison battalions who have just surrendered are worried that everyone will kill them if they fail, and they are likely to resist to the end and do a dying struggle. Once the battle is deadlocked, the matter will be settled, and the Allied combat teams will likely be caught between the political forces that surrendered at the airport and the Libyan anti-aircraft artillery battalions.
Secondly, among the three groups of enemies, the Libyan anti-aircraft artillery battalion is the respect, and those rebels and garrison battalions are only the Libyan anti-aircraft artillery battalion. When the garrison battalion fights, they always feel that they have a backer, and they always think that the Libyan anti-aircraft artillery battalion will support them, and even if the battle is fierce, they will not despair immediately in their hearts, and they are likely to fight to the end. Once their fighting spirit is aroused, they are not soft persimmons but iron lumps.
On the contrary, if the Allied combat teams were to fight the Libyan anti-aircraft artillery battalion first, there were many advantages: first, they had just been airlifted from the country, they were far from familiar with the terrain, and their hearts were both arrogant and nervous; on the one hand, they looked down on the airfield garrison that had just surrendered, and on the other hand, they were inevitably worried that the garrison would be unstable and that someone inside would turn against the water again, so they would be more defensive than relying on the garrison. Once the battle is raging, they are prone to despair.
