Chapter 746: Preparation
"It's all done, card. Kurtu has already promised to come down? "Colonel Lazaro, who was anxiously waiting, received Jacques. Laijit called, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Okay, Laijit, this thing is done well, and then you keep the same card. Kurtu's contact, waiting for my notification. ”
Liu Cheng didn't expect that Lazaro was going so smoothly, but fortunately, the operational staff officers in the command center were not idle, and they had already begun to formulate an operational plan for this joint attack operation. As soon as Laijit was confirmed, Liu Chengcheng sent the battle plan back to the General Staff Headquarters.
In the capital, Vice Chairman Liu, who has been paying attention to the situation in Tanzania, received this new combat plan, and after reading it, with Vice Chairman Liu's old spiciness, he couldn't help but applaud Liu Cheng's boldness and resourcefulness, "Lao Yang, what do you think of Liu Cheng's plan?" Vice Chairman Liu asked.
After Liu Cheng sent the battlefield reconnaissance information back to the General Staff, the senior operational staff officers of the General Staff faced Beitu. Bangka is also deeply troubled by placing the hostages in the center of his lair, and in the eyes of most people, it is still inclined to exchange the ransom for the hostages, otherwise there will be no way to guarantee the safety of the hostages, not one or two people, but a full 38 hostages, all of whom are held together, and if the rescue operation does not go well, let the militants jump over the wall to slaughter, the political impact is unimaginable.
Not to mention anything else, I am afraid that there will be only a handful of Chinese people who dare to work in Africa at that time, after all, although it is important to make money, it must also be spent on life.
However, Liu Cheng and the others unusually turned this battle into a battle for territory between two local warlords, so as to greatly hide the true purpose of this battle. Banga gang can't figure out the real combat intentions, when the card. When the local armed forces of Kurtu went on a major offensive, Betu. Bonga will almost certainly focus his attention and power on his city-based rivals.
Especially when their defensive line is crumbling, Betu. Gbarnga would not have thought that the purpose of this war was to rescue the hostages. In order to gain local territory, Kurtu certainly left no room for attack, and after dozens of PLA Marines were among them, Betu. Banga's defense line is simply vulnerable, as long as Liu Cheng and they master the rhythm and intensity of the attack, they will be Betu. When Banga's strength attracts and mobilizes to the outer defense line, so that the inner line is extremely empty, the special brigade responsible for rescuing the hostages can quickly infiltrate it in a variety of ways in this time of chaos.
"Very imaginative." Mr. Yang also appreciated Liu Cheng's plan very much, "It's just that the risk is still very high. The Banga gang has discovered the battle intent, which will be very detrimental to the safety of the hostages. "Appreciation is appreciation, for the huge risks contained in this plan, Mr. Yang still has reservations.
"I think there is still a certain degree of feasibility," Vice Chairman Liu disagreed with General Yang's conservative view, in his opinion, using ransom money to redeem the hostages has undoubtedly set an extremely bad precedent, so at the beginning of the incident, Vice Chairman Liu had the intention of using force to solve the problem, and even before the General Staff had formulated a relevant plan, he ordered the 164th Marine Brigade to dispatch elite troops to stand by thousands of miles away.
Now Liu Cheng and they have given Vice Chairman Liu a solution to the problem, of course Vice Chairman Liu will not let it go easily, "As for the risk, I think it can be controlled," Vice Chairman Liu continued, "You see, we can closely monitor the drone Betu. Every move of Banga's gang, when the attack of the Kurtu gang began, Liu Cheng and they just had to control the situation and let Betu. With Bonga crumbling on their outer line, it will not be difficult to mobilize Betu. Gbarnga's forces massed towards the outer defensive line. The marines on our side, who were responsible for rescuing the hostages, only began to take action after the aerial surveillance confirmed that a large number of militants had been mobilized. ”
"If the perimeter battle cannot mobilize Betu. Banga gang, we can give up the rescue operation, let this battle is really their internal turf grabbing, I don't think it will have much impact on the follow-up operation, now our troops are still in high secrecy on the front line, this gang of gangsters never dreamed that our actions would be so fast. ”
"Since that's the case, then let Liu Cheng and them try?" Listening to Vice Chairman Liu's analysis, Chief Yang was also greatly moved, indeed, the key to this battle is to hide the real battle intention. Banga couldn't guess that the People's Liberation Army would fall from the sky, so it was very possible to deal with his biggest crisis, and if he was negligent on the hostage's side, as long as they showed their flaws, Liu Cheng and they would have a great chance of success.
The most important thing is that now we have the advantage of aerial reconnaissance and are free to choose the timing of our hands.
"So be it." Seeing that President Yang was also persuaded by himself, Vice Chairman Liu finally made up his mind.
Seeing that the General Staff Department had approved the battle plan on his side, Liu Cheng felt a little excited and also felt a lot of pressure, and the General Staff clearly pointed out that the safety of the hostages was the first consideration, and the rescue must be carried out only under the condition of great grasp, otherwise he would rather give up this opportunity.
Under this premise, when the perimeter offensive war can not be taken by Betu. The vast majority of Banga's troops were transferred, and Liu Cheng and they were not allowed to implement the rescue plan.
This requirement made Liu Cheng feel that peripheral operations had become the key to the success or failure of the campaign.
"Shugen, Dai Nan, you have seen the combat order of the General Staff, how to fight this battle well, what good ideas do you two have?" Liu Cheng said to his two generals that although he already had a spectrum in his heart, the commander of the assault battalion Wu Shugen and the captain of the special brigade Dai Nan would be commanded on the front line of the operation, and the two of them would directly decide the success or failure of this battle.
"Brigade commander, this time our battalion will carry out a frontal attack and blockade, Dai Brigade and they are waiting for the opportunity to rescue, the key is to see if they can lure the snake out of the hole. The main force of Banga's gang is all drawn out to the periphery, so it is very important to master the rhythm of the frontal attack, but because we do not know the strength of the offensive and defensive sides in this battle, it is very difficult to grasp this rhythm. ”
Wu Shugen took the lead in expressing his opinion, "However, in order to avoid the chain of Kurtu and his gang of militants at a critical moment, we should ambush a capable force near the frontal offensive position in advance, and use large-caliber sniper rifles to undertake battlefield firepower. The Banga line of defense was ventilated everywhere and put a lot of pressure on them. ”
For the marines who cooperate with the Kurtu group to undertake the attack mission, in order to cover people's eyes, it is obviously impossible to bring the weapons of the marines over, which is inevitably too conspicuous, and judging from the existing equipment of the Tanzanian infantry battalion, most of them are old automatic rifles and other weapons, mainly the two submachine guns of the Type 56 and Type 81, which are of the grandfather level, and compared with the Type 15 rifles equipped by the marines now, there is a big gap in firepower, accuracy, and recoil.
Therefore, if such old-fashioned weaponry were to attack an opponent supported by fortifications, no matter how brave the Marines were, they would not be able to compete with the opponent's machine-gun fire. In order to conceal the eyes, the battle must be fought at night, and in this case, such a reasonable heavy firepower as a mortar cannot be controlled in terms of attack accuracy, and at this time, if there are several large-caliber sniper rifles to provide fire support, of course, it will be of great effect.
"Battalion Commander Wu's consideration is very necessary, I think I will transfer a sniper team from the special brigade to undertake this task. Once the battle of a few hundred people has started, they should not be able to see that there is something special about these people as long as they inform them that Kurtu is the one who is attacking the party. Dai Nan also agreed with Wu Shugen's opinion, if the advanced firepower of the Marine Corps could not be used, the attack would be weak and unable to give it to Betu. If Banga exerts tremendous pressure and turns the battle into a tug-of-war, the whole battle will become a joke.
Deal with Betu. For such a target as the machine-gun fire on the Banga side, it is perfectly suited to use a sniper. The sniper squad of the special brigade, in the case of using a 12.7 mm large-caliber sniper rifle, is enough to snipe the opponent at a distance of 1 km, and the combat power of several large snipers is unimaginable in the situation of chaotic attack and defense.
Card. Kurtu did not expect that Lazaro's side would be in such a hurry, and on the same day he smuggled weapons across the border and handed them over to the Kurtu side, asking to launch an attack at night. Come to Git's statement, now is the soldier Gui Shen speed, early to Betu. The Banga gang launched an attack to avoid leaking information and to keep the other party on guard.
For Jacqua. Come to the word Git and get the card of the weapon. Kurtu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, anyway, they were with Betu. Banga gang fire is not once or twice, both sides also know the roots, there is no need to do anything to prepare, according to the card. Kurtu's idea, now his own side after getting the new weapon, the original number is the same as Betu. Banga is about the same, plus there is an extra "elite Tanzanian regular army" on the other side, which should be able to overwhelm the opponent in terms of troops.
And thanks to Betu. Banga did have reinforcements in Nienba, more than 100 kilometers away, but he had no reinforcements within a radius of 300 kilometers. Kurtu is also afraid of long nights and dreams.
Not to mention taking Betu a day earlier. Banga, who was able to dominate Kalemi one day earlier, thought of the opportunity to trample his opponent under his feet, which made Ka, who had been suffocated for several years. Kurtu's heart is on fire for Jacqua. Laigit's suggestion hit it off, and the two agreed to sneak into Betou secretly after dark. Meet in a valley 2 kilometers from the Bangka Lair and attack together.
For these indigenous tribal warlords in Africa, rushing forward is their usual combat characteristic, and no one thinks there is anything wrong, anyway, the two sides fight and magnify the gun casualties in the middle of the night, that is, the absurd battles of more than a dozen people are endless. Kurtu's purposeful "assault" is already a rare regular battle.
