CHAPTER XXXII
The biggest problem is in the cave.
According to the information, the area of the cave is not large, but there are three natural passages, each of which is irregular, and the largest open space in the cave is where the three passages meet. In this kind of terrain, grenades and stun grenades cannot exert their due power, and a strong attack is bound to be time-consuming and laborious. Team A's original idea was to send someone to sneak in, but later intelligence revealed that the mercenary guard included many veterans from Chechnya, Afghanistan, and the Northern Alliance, who were alert at any time of the day, and what was even more troublesome was that they did not always stay in their camps but preferred to wander in the woods, and patrols were not regular at all.
The "Black Godmother" will not be caught without eliminating the mercenaries, so Team A decides to attack this guard directly, clear the perimeter of the target cave, and then storm it. Having fought mercenaries in their own hands, Team A knew that they were more flexible and less combative, and fundamentally they were no match for a more disciplined and organized army. The only thing worrying about this decision is that the effectiveness of mercenaries has always been uncertain. Sometimes they're vulnerable, and other times, they're resilient.
The most certain thing in a fight, though, is that everything is fraught with uncertainty. There is never an exhaustive plan, and even if there is, in the event of an exchange of fire, no action can be carried out exactly according to the plan. What makes Rohmon special is that he never dictates what his subordinates should do in battle, and when he is surrounded by some of the smartest soldiers in the world, all he has to do is make everyone understand the requirements and principles of the action, and then let them play freely. He doesn't have to worry about the ability of his teammates, all he has to think about is giving everyone the most suitable task.
Ma Xibei and Shen Maopai took the lead in marching towards the valley.
The spearhead is the second most important person in the team, because he is always at the forefront of the team, so the spearhead is actually the first person to face the task scene and make the first judgment, and the tactical cultivation and literacy of the spearhead should be as good as the captain, or maybe even better. In the process of advancing, Ma Xibei had to determine the deployment position of the squad, the selection of attack and evacuation routes and ambush positions, and help Shen Mao's platoon select sniper positions, and if necessary, temporarily act as Shen Mao's platoon's observer, but his most important task was to find the opponent's communications, command center, antennas, and heavy firepower.
Before leaving, Rohmin specifically asked Ma Beixi if he had brought his multi-purpose tools with him to prevent man-made obstacles, including landmines, along the way, and the answer was yes.
ACE looked at Rohmon suspiciously. "We're not going to 'white spots' anymore? There is more suitable for observation. ”
Rohmon nodded. "We're not going. I've thought about it, and people with a little experience know the role of the 'white dot', so I dare say that it must be in the attention of others, and it is no longer safe to climb the 'white dot' again. ”
His answer did not satisfy ACE.
"You seem to have been assuming that there is an enemy waiting for us on the other side."
Rohmon smiled. "What if someone is really waiting for us to come?"
"I understand that you have to think everything through, but now you're doing it perverted." ACE interrupted him impatiently. "You must be doing this for another reason. Don't tell me any bullshit instincts, I don't believe there is such a thing in the world. ”
It's impossible to perfunctory this big guy. ACE just looked a little cynical and vulgar, but in fact, Rohm, who graduated at the same time as him, knew very well that ACE's grades that year were on par with his own, and if it weren't for ACE's appearance being too eye-catching, he should have done the same work as himself. Ten years on, ACE has changed a lot in every way, the only thing that hasn't changed is his natural acumen.
The information provided by An Nianrong was too detailed, which was the reason why Rohmon made this decision.
Anyone with experience knows that neither overly detailed nor too sketchy intelligence can be trusted. The former may be deliberately leaked, while the latter may be simply fake. The real way to obtain information is to compare and verify each other, and the same information should have different sources, and information that can be corroborated from all sources is considered truly credible.
In the call just now, An Nianrong did not mention this. Either she ignored it, or she was too eager to get things done. Rohmon himself is an expert in intelligence analysis, and past experience has taught him that no matter what the information is given to him, he only needs to act according to his own judgment.
ACE still had the same skeptical expression. "It looks like you don't trust anyone."
Rohmon didn't laugh. "That's because I'm more used to relying on myself."
ACE LAUGHED. "That's what scares people like you, you don't trust anyone."
After a moment of silence, Rohmon also smiled, and the look in his eyes that looked at ACE was also meaningful.
"Tell me, ACE, at any time, if you destroy yourself, or at the hands of someone else, which outcome is easier for you to accept?"
ACE THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT AND PUT AWAY HIS SMILE. "Of course, the former is more acceptable, but it's too extreme to think about it this way, you can't control your own destiny."
ROMON LOOKED AT ACE. "But I want to try to take my destiny into my own hands."
ACE did not answer. He has never thought about the problems of life as clearly as Rohm, he is not a pessimist, but he has always felt that it is impractical and futile to dwell on the problems of life after entering the army, after all, all you have to do is obey orders, and at such times, the more a person thinks, the more painful it becomes. ACE would rather think about these issues in the future, and there is only one thing he wants to do well now, and that is to do his duty as a soldier. No matter what you do, one is responsible for one's actions.
LOMON'S WORDS REMINDED ACE OF FEI'S WORDS, "HE IS NOT THE FIRST AND WILL NEVER BE THE LAST OF THOSE WHOSE FAITH HAS BEEN DESTROYED IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACT WITH THE ENEMIES OF THE WEST." He could not see any signs of destruction in Romon's faith, but he could feel Romon's hesitation, where did his hesitation come from? From the shipment that was lost in Africa? With what he knows about Romon, ACE can safely say that Rohmon is not that fragile person.
The faint sound of engines could be heard from the air, and through the camouflage net that covered the ground, the members of Team A could see a Black Hawk helicopter flying overhead at cruising speed. Back in the night, everyone dug a shelter under the bushes where people could lie down, and then attached local vegetation to the camouflage net as a camouflage, even if it was close at hand, it was difficult to spot it immediately, let alone the helicopter crew at a height of several hundred meters. No one can spot them from this height with the naked eye or with ordinary optical instruments.
The helicopter disappeared from view, and ACE sat up from his pit.
"Is this helicopter also here to reconnoiter us? Now you've made me suspicious. ”
Rohmon smiled and didn't answer. There could be various reasons why the helicopter flew over their heads, and if there were people waiting for their visit, the helicopter's appearance was not necessarily accidental.
Rohmon knew he was scared. On the one hand, he was afraid of the thrilling feeling of this operation; On the other hand, he is also worried about his future. Zhong Qianmo suddenly fell ill, leaving him without his most reliable protective umbrella. Zhong Qianmo is good at using the strength of his character, and can skillfully move outside of all kinds of power tilts, that is, he is sleek enough and tough enough, so he can always protect his chicks well like an old hen. But now whose help should Rohmon count on? **Fly? This new commander is bent on pandering to the top, and is trying his best to kick him out of Unit 128, so what about Wei Han? Wei Han is a professional who can be trusted when dealing with problems, but when it comes to the future of his subordinates, he has always chosen to stay alone.
The son of Fang Linchuan, deputy commander of the Air Force of the Sichuan Military Region, is still lying in the hospital, and it is possible that he will not be able to stand up in this life, which is the masterpiece of Romon, and it is also the place where Rohmin cannot forgive himself. It was not that Rohmon regretted that he had taken too much of the shot, but that it was against the principles of the military. As a soldier trained to kill, under no circumstances should he deal with unarmed civilians, even if there are limits to self-defense. But he didn't control his emotions at the time.
His solo radio headset sounded Ma Xibei's voice.
"Hummingbird, things have changed."
