Chapter 144: Loose Loose
On the day of their return from Trode, the news of Lamont's defeat at the Sof Oasis had already spread throughout the Wad area, and the nightmare enemy had been destroyed by two squads without damage, which was definitely more exciting news than the battle at Supply Depot 57. The whole army, especially the various armored squads at the bottom, were confident in the battle below.
On the contrary, the upper echelons of the British and French forces tried to explain that the defeat was caused by the guilt, and they wanted to continue to erect Lamont's image of the god of war through this. However, what they didn't expect was that these words did not have any effect, and moreover, they also increased the sense of distrust between people. Many people are beginning to wonder if there is an internal ghost in their own team, or even in their own car group, because in this way, it is inevitable that poor coordination will make work efficiency low. To think that an encouraging word has caused such a counterproductive effect is really more than worth the loss.
"What I want to say to you is a military secret now, please be disciplined and do not disclose anything about this operation to anyone before the operation." A straight-built officer was standing on the podium to speak, and sitting below were the squad leaders of some squads of the armored forces in Wald's garrison, including Trood and Derek,
The officer continued, "This mission is very important, even related to our changes in the coming months, so Chief Anselm personally chose you from the shortlist, because he valued your abilities and believed that you would be able to succeed in this operation before entrusting you with this mission. ”
"Cut." Derek whispered to Trode next to him with disdain: "Who doesn't know that this mission is all the henchmen selected by that strange uncle one by one, and even the notification of the meeting is so mysterious, and everyone is notified separately."
"Say." Derek tilted his head and rushed to Trode, "When did they inform you?" ”
Without thinking about it, Trood replied, "What about you while eating in the cafeteria?" ”
"When I am in the restroom large size"
“”
"So, I'll now talk about the specifics of this operation." At this point, the people who were whispering below stopped their mouths and focused their eyes on that person.
He said slowly with a serious expression, "Okay, at first, it's Tucker and Hen, you two groups."
Trode had also thought before, since they had gone to such great lengths to secretly notify everyone in different locations and separately, why not simply notify each person's tasks individually, in that case, the secrecy would be higher, and one person would get relatively little information, and even if that happened, the loss would not be too great.
But now that he was listening to the officer's slow talk about the content of the mission, he somewhat understood. If you start from a simple point of secrecy, it is indeed more effective. But in that case, at that time, the macro battlefield situation is only known to the command, and each squad is like a chess piece on a chessboard, and if you want to move, you must go through the chess player, and the chess player may be captured at a certain moment when he is not paying attention. Therefore, it is the best policy to let each chess piece move independently and flexibly.
"Below, Derek and Trode's squad." When they finally talked about themselves, the two of them immediately lifted their spirits and sat up straight.
The officer said briefly, "Your two squads are in charge of positions 42 and 14. ”
"Che, is that true?" Derek said with some disdain. The order announced by the officer was that the first four squads were assigned specific combat objectives, while the other squads were only demarcated with operational areas and no clear operational instructions.
Trode said thoughtfully: "There must be his intentions in doing this, until now, I still think that the Major is an unfathomable person, follow him, our battle, will definitely shine." ”
"Huh?" Derek tilted his head and said, "Actually, he"
"The operation was codenamed," the officer raised his voice and shouted: "Get off the leash!" ”
"Unleashed?" Trood muttered quietly.
The officer wrote the word "Schlachtross" on the blackboard behind him, and then said to the people below: "This time we are dispatched in a squad of IV. and IV. modified vehicles, IV tanks are known as 'German horses', all we can do is let go of the reins, and all you have to do is gallop around in this operation." ”
"I see." Trode smiled slyly, and the corners of his mouth rose and said, "Since the troops responsible for raiding and defending are ready, then the main force is below." ”
But this was not going to be told to them even if it was as Trood expected, so he only whispered a few words to Derek.
Trood asked, "Are there any recent movements of the other forces around us?" ”
Derek shook his head and said, "How can junior officers like us have a chance to learn about those things. However, if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to draw conclusions. ”
Derek said slowly: "First of all, located in the south of us is a vast sea of sand, which is basically no man's land, whether it is the enemy or our army, if you want to bypass it from there, you will have to pay blood. Secondly, it is located to the west of us, that is, to our rear, which is a more reliable option, but to crush the enemy in front of us, the enemy coming from this direction may get bogged down in a quagmire and stagnate. ”
"So that's all that is left of the Northern Army." Trode rubbed his chin and said, "Tunisia and the surrounding areas in the north have always been the main battlefield, and although we have defeated the British army several times, the number of kilometers advanced can only be counted in single digits. If a unit is transferred from there, will it be a little conspicuous? ”
Derek shook his head and said with some worry: "That is just divided into two options: particularly conspicuous and particularly inconspicuous, who knows what the people in the staff think about it." ”
"Forget it, it's useless to think so much." Trode shook his head, took those thoughts out of his head, looked carefully at the map on the desktop in front of him, and said: "Positions 14 and 42, the two forward positions in the northeast, are just chaotic places."
