Chapter 156: Tactical Deployment
readx;
In less than a week, Liu Wei moved into the villa that Little Capua rented for him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The villa is located near the White Rock Bridge in the Bronx, Long Island, next to LaGuardia Airport, across the Strait from the Bronx; Spread over dozens of acres, in addition to the main building, there are three small buildings, protected by woods, a three-hole golf course, and a small marina for yachts.
The wealthy man who owns the villa lost all his money in the financial crisis, his assets were frozen by the bank, and the villa was bought by a house rental company. When little Capuya rented a villa for Liu Wei, he also rented a 100-foot yacht and a small helicopter.
Because it is next to LaGuardia Airport, it is in the air traffic control area, so helicopters can only take off and land at the airport.
Liu Wei doesn't care where to take the helicopter, this villa is big enough, let alone live more than 500 people, even if it lives 1,000 people, it's no problem.
Of course, to accommodate more than 500 people, it would take some effort to rearrange the room.
After living in the villa, Liu Wei recruited the first batch of FOS legion members, and asked Zhou Fen and his wife to go to the market to purchase a batch of furniture and decoration materials, and renovate the rooms of the four buildings in the manor. The bedrooms are all quadruple with two bunk beds. The basement of the villa was converted into an arsenal, and the workers' room was converted into a gun workshop, making it easier for FOS soldiers who shared Zhou Yulong's hobby to transform arms.
After the deployment was completed, Liu Wei asked the members of the FOS Legion to come to report one after another.
During this period, Zhou Yulong and Dian Bin spent a lot of effort to get batches of weapons and equipment for the FOS Legion.
Mainly a variety of guns, as well as some heavy weapons that are needed in large-scale operations, such as anti-tank missiles and individual anti-aircraft missiles.
Among these equipment, the most striking are more than a hundred "Humvee" jeeps.
Although military Humvees are not available, civilian Humvees are not uncommon in the American market. Because of the economic downturn, many people have sold this kind of large-displacement off-road vehicles, so in the second-hand car market, civilian Hummers are not expensive. After Dian Bin bought the cars in batches, he had to open a parking lot in the woods and build a shed to improve the non-bulletproof jeeps.
The way to improve is simple, the main thing is to enhance the protection capability.
In order not to be discovered by US law enforcement agencies and US military planes that regularly patrol the vicinity, Dian Bin rented several garages in Manhattan according to Liu Wei's instructions, and then sent the improved jeeps over in batches. At the same time, members of the FOS Corps also dispersed into Manhattan.
The preparations are in order, and the villa is also in full swing.
It was only at this time that Liu Wei began to formulate a battle plan.
Although the ability of FOS fighters is very strong, and with the addition of 30 re-engineered fighters, the combat ability in complex environments is comparable to that of a mechanized infantry brigade, but Manhattan Island is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with two million people living on the island for a long time, and as many as six million people moving in and out of Manhattan Island every day. In other words, even if you start an operation at night and occupy Manhattan Island, you will have to face more than two million civilians.
Don't forget, the United States is a country where you can carry guns freely.
While not every American owns a gun, especially in a high-density area like Manhattan, at least one in 10 of two million Americans owns a gun and is proficient in using it. Besides, there are more than a dozen police stations and thousands of police officers on this island!
Obviously, it will not be easy to occupy Manhattan Island with just more than five hundred FOS fighters.
"Manhattan Island is connected by thirteen bridges and tunnels to the Bronx to the north, New Jersey to the west, Brooklyn to the south, and Queens to the east." Zhou Yulong was in charge of the briefing, and also in charge of basic tactics. "While we could blow up bridges and tunnels to prevent U.S. troops from entering from the ground, the Harlem River is not wide enough to stop U.S. forces, and we don't have enough men to deploy defenses."
"To put it simply, we can't occupy the entire island of Manhattan, and even if we do, we won't be able to hold it." Zhou Fen explained for Zhou Yulong. "If you can't occupy it, you can only expand the defensive area and trade space for time. In any case, there are millions of civilians on the island, and the population density is so high that it is impossible for the US military to use weapons of mass destruction, or even conventional weapons that are too powerful. ”
"In other words, the buildings and people on the island are our talismans." Zhou Yulong added.
"Bounded by Columbia University on the north side of Central Park, the line of defense is deployed layer by layer." Liu Wei knows these problems and has been thinking about solutions for a long time. "Set up a barrage zone in Central Park, and if U.S. forces enter from the north, they have to wait as long as possible here."
"In this case, we can only use the buildings on both sides of the street as much as possible, and we need enough equipment."
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Within half a month, we must make preliminary deployments." Let Lao Dian rent some apartments and send the equipment over first. After we blow up the bridges and tunnels, you will lead a hundred FOS fighters to try to deploy the defense line before the American forces intervene. ”
Zhou Yulong nodded and did not make any other comments.
"This is the last line of defense during our operation, and no matter what, the U.S. military must be held off north of the South Gate of Central Park." Liu Wei drew a horizontal line on the map. "The first step in the operation was to blockade the island of Manhattan, and all bridges and tunnels had to be blown up at the same time. In order to prevent the US military from repairing the bridge, the piers had to be blown up. In terms of tunnels, the blasting area must be expanded, and the US military cannot easily dredge them. ”
"In that case, you have to evacuate people on the bridge and in the tunnel."
"It's easy to stop vehicles from going up the bridge and entering the tunnel before the operation begins." Liu Wei glanced at Dian Bin and didn't mention this question again. "As Lao Zhou said, the civilians on Manhattan Island are our talisman, so after the operation begins, we must stabilize the situation. Lao Zhou and Sister Bao are in charge of this matter, and you lead a hundred FOS fighters to be responsible for the security of the urban area, so that all the residents can stay at home. ”
"I'm afraid not everyone is willing to follow orders."
"Since it is a war, casualties are inevitable." Liu Wei glanced at Zhou Fen and said, "If you can stabilize the most people at the lowest cost, there is nothing to hesitate." ”
Zhou Fen nodded, indicating that he understood what Liu Wei meant.
"After the situation is controlled, we have to prevent the landing of American troops from the south." Liu Wei turned his gaze to Mobei Wolf, "You lead a hundred FOS fighters to control New York Harbor and Lower Manhattan as quickly as possible, deploy surveillance systems along the way, and focus on dealing with the police of the Port Authority." ”
Mobei Wolf nodded and didn't say anything more.
"The headquarters is located inside the Empire State Building, but there are a few signal relay points that need to be set up." Liu Wei said to Dian Bin, "The U.S. military will definitely monitor all radio channels, and will also cut off mobile phone signals, and then strike at radio signal emission sources, so you have to be fully prepared." ”
"It's better to arrange in advance."
Liu Wei nodded and said, "You are responsible for this matter, and you need to arrange it in advance and start dealing with it immediately." ”
Dian Bin didn't go into any more wordiness, he was only responsible for intelligence and information support, and did not participate in combat operations.
"Now the most important thing, and the most crucial: retreat." Liu Wei glanced at several companions and said, "No matter what the result is, I don't want to leave the United States after finishing this vote, there is still a lot of room for us to develop in the future, so we must make a good retreat deployment." ”
"The U.S. military will definitely encircle Manhattan Island, and it will not be easy to retreat."
"Of course, but the U.S. military will create opportunities for us."
"What chance?" Zhou Fen asked.
"Don't forget, this is the United States, and it's the most prosperous city in the United States, not the mountains of Afghanistan." Liu Wei smiled and said, "If there is a real fight, Manhattan Island will be in ruins, and neither the US military nor the US political axe can afford this responsibility." That is, as long as the combat operations of the US military are blocked, the US authorities will negotiate with us, during which we will definitely be asked to release a part of the hostages. ”
"Caught in a hostage and escaped?"
"Lao Dian has made arrangements to leave in the hostages. For a few of us, as well as those of the FOS fighters who had been reinvented, the evacuation was not a problem, but how to get the more than 400 FOS fighters out of Manhattan. Liu Wei paused slightly, "My idea is that after the operation is successful, we will attract the attention of the US military, cover the others, and finally evacuate." ”
The crowd fell silent immediately.
"I haven't figured out exactly how to do it, but we have to make the battle bigger and let the U.S. military stare at us."
"It's better to bring the U.S. military in and do a big job in Manhattan. As long as the situation is chaotic and the US military cannot control the overall situation, we have a chance to leave. "Of course, there is a high risk in doing this, but it is more direct than other methods. ”
Liu Wei nodded and said, "I think so too, do you have any other opinions?" ”
Zhou Fen and Zhou Yulong shook their heads, Dian Bin wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
"If you have no opinion, let's do it for the time being, and as for how to do it, I'll confirm it after the action begins. Old Wolf and Arond have to greet each FOS warrior and let them know. Liu Wei let out a long breath and said, "Next week, the cargo ship will enter the port, so hurry up and complete the preliminary deployment." Otherwise, the operation began on the evening of the day of the cargo ship Tsu Port, and I fired the first shot, and the other operations proceeded as planned. ”
There were no other comments, and that was the end of the meeting.
That night, Zhou Yulong and Dian Bin took a group of FOS fighters to Manhattan Island. Mobei Wolf and Zhou Fen were not so active, and waited until the next morning to set off.
The next time, Liu Wei assigned specific tasks to the twenty FOS fighters who had completed the retransformation.
According to Liu Wei's platoon, they were all squad commanders, each in charge of an eleven-man combat squad, and the remaining FOS fighters were directly commanded by Liu Wei and others.
In the afternoon of the same day, the gray-backed jackal rushed over.
