185. Supply channel

"Extrapolating possible supply routes for the rebels from the meteorite belt?" When James arrived in a hurry, he received this order from Zhao Li: "Is there any mistake, this should be analyzed by a large-scale computer, isn't it faster than a human being?" ”

"Now the computer doesn't analyze it." Zhao Li replied truthfully: "We are short of time, perhaps, some things are not suitable for computer analysis." ”

James looked at Zhao Li, Zhao Li had a persistent expression, and could only nod: "Okay, then I'll try, but I can't guarantee the result." ”

From satellite video, it is possible to determine the location of the enemy's supply depots. For now, the warehouse is very successful in camouflage, but it accidentally revealed a little clue and was photographed by the military's satellite. Not far from the warehouses were two newly opened airfields for warships to take off and land. If there is a little problem, the attack ship will arrive in two minutes. It's not that easy to attack.

Li Mengdie and Sanders, going out to reconnoitre, it has been two days, according to their speed, they should not have rushed to the vicinity of the other party's base, at present, Zhao Li does not dare to easily send a battleship to take off, the only transport ship, if it is too far away, will definitely be shot down by the rebels. can only wronged the two of them to scout on foot, which is very hard.

Kang Hongyuan's side is also in full swing of arrangements. When Kang Hongyuan came over to say goodbye to Zhao Li, Zhao Li couldn't believe his eyes.

"Why are you going too?" Zhao Li couldn't understand Kang Hongyuan's decision to go into battle in person. However, Zhao Li also knew that since Kang Hongyuan had already decided like this, it must be something worth his adventure. Otherwise, Kang Hongyuan would never put himself under the dangerous wall.

"I have to go, otherwise I won't be able to do a lot of things." Kang Hongyuan's expression towards Zhao Li seemed to have been expected, and he didn't feel strange at all: "Moreover, I think that if I have the opportunity, I will contact those local armed forces, these other people can't help me." ”

As soon as the old man said this, Zhao Li immediately remembered what Kang Hongyuan had been in contact with the LTTE before. It seems that Kang Hongyuan promised the tiger something that made the tiger so desperate to help.

"What did you promise them?" Unable to suppress his curiosity, Zhao Li couldn't help but ask again.

"On the development of the edge planet in the future." Kang Hongyuan smiled, and this time he didn't hide it from Zhao Li: "If you want the edge planet to grow, the strength of these people cannot be ignored. ”

"What do you want to do with the edge planet?" Zhao Li still didn't understand, how could those people be moved by Kang Hongyuan's words?

"There used to be a country on earth called Israel, and if you have time, you can look up their history. See how they built their country, how they maintained relations with the superpower of the time, the United States, and were able to fight for their best position by influencing the decisions of certain American Parliaments. Kang Hongyuan did not say it directly, but gave Zhao Li a case for reference: "Moreover, countless high-end things banned by the United States at that time, it seems that everyone can get them through Israel." We may be able to turn the marginal planet into a federal-level Israel. ”

These words made Zhao Li a little stunned, and at the same time, he also let go of some worries a little. At least, Kang Hongyuan said that this model is still within the scope of the Federation, that is, Zhao Li does not have to worry about his treason.

"You'd better keep it under control, or I'll personally send you and that Israel's dream to the grave." In the end, Zhao Li still warned Kang Hongyuan. This is also a warning, not to go too far.

"Of course." Kang Hongyuan held his head high very confidently: "I didn't dare to say it before, but now, at least eighty percent sure." Before leaving, Kang Hongyuan turned to look at Zhao Li: "Zhao Li, the better you fight here, the greater the chance of our success." ”

Zhao Li nodded, and finally told Kang Hongyuan: "Lao Kang, if you go out by yourself, you must be careful." ”

After sending Kang Hongyuan away, Zhao Li was still a little anxious, and ran to James' side again to ask: "Is there any result?" ”

"Get out of the way, don't get in my way!" James was concentrating on the computer, and as soon as Zhao Li opened his mouth, he was said by him. The picture on the screen is obviously a picture that the pilot of a simulated battleship can see, with meteorites flying around. As soon as James spoke, he didn't seem to be concentrating, the screen in front of him dimmed, and the angry James almost stood up and punched Zhao Li: "I'll notify you if there's a result, don't come in and interfere with me!" "James is trying to use the driver's perspective to figure out the right route from it. was disturbed by Zhao Liyi and failed once.

As soon as he came in, he was bored, and Zhao Li retreated in disagreement. Everyone has something to do, and what Zhao Li is left to do is to train the soldiers.

All the officers of the airborne regiment were sent back with the regimental commander, and all the soldiers who remained were left. Zhao Li asked them to jointly nominate a companion as a commander to manage their regular army soldiers.

Wang Lefei was elected by his comrades-in-arms, and Zhao Li directly gave him the rank of lieutenant and asked him to reorganize more than 400 soldiers of the airborne regiment into a battalion.

At this moment, Wang Lefei was leading all his soldiers to frantically devote themselves to training, and the momentum of training made Zhao Li look at it and be very satisfied. If the soldiers of these well-trained main combat regiments can maintain this kind of morale and the spirit of not admitting defeat at this moment, they will definitely be able to make great meritorious achievements at the critical moment.

James appeared in front of Zhao Li with a tired face, which made Zhao Li look forward to it. However, as soon as James spoke, Zhao Li was very disappointed: "There are many possible routes, if they are all small or medium-sized warships, there should be no less than ten passages to pass." Of course, the drivers have to be at my level. The technology is almost there, and it definitely can't get by. ”

All of James' driving class? This is obviously not possible. The rebels could not have had the luxury of having an ace driver like James just deliver supplies, and while supplies are important, the combatants are just as important.

"I've only simulated less than one-tenth of these meteorite belts, and if the other side has a large transport ship, it will never be possible to take the passages I found, it's too dangerous." The look of exhaustion on James' face was very obvious, this kind of mind-consuming thing was obviously not something that could be resisted by cultivation alone.

"Can you find a way to speed it up?" Zhao Li knew that James was tired, but he had to make an excessive request.

"Is this information confidential? If possible, find some other people to simulate together. James said a way and waited for Zhao Li to decide.

"Others?" Zhao Li frowned: "Is it reliable?" It seems that at this moment, he has never realized whether the leakage of this kind of theater combat star map is reasonable, and he only cares about whether the other party is reliable.

"Absolutely." James nodded: "If they help, it can be sped up by three to four times." And the accuracy can be more than doubled. ”

"Contact them!" Zhao Li made a decision without hesitation: "This is just a meteorite belt scan star map near the planet on the journey, it is not a confidential thing, and those smuggling boats that walk all year round may even know about it." ”

"I just want results!" Zhao Li told James, who was about to leave: "I don't care who you use, even if it's a smuggler, I just want the result." ”

James nodded, turned and slipped into the room where he simulated flight, and started to make contact. There is no need for Zhao Liduo to say the confidentiality regulations at all, James himself knows the important surname of this matter, and I believe that he will not harm himself.

Zhao Li was not aware of the change in his attitude towards the way he won when he allowed James to use various methods to get results. It seems that at this time, as long as it can bring victory to Zhao Li, even those terrorists who he has been unable to look at before, can still be used. It's like a politician.

It is not surprising that Kang Hongyuan can use this way, but it can make Zhao Li accept it, but it is also forced by Kang Hongyuan's subtle and the current situation. Since the military cannot help itself, it can only find various ways to win.

How to attack those two supply depots? put on Zhao Li's desk. The defense, the route, the size of the supply depot, and everything else that can be seen from the satellite photos need to be taken into account by Zhao Li. If it succeeds, the rebels who have been cut off from the supply line will be nothing more than a toothless tiger.

The rebels' attack on the Journey Planet was so fierce that General Lucas couldn't even send a single soldier to help Zhao Li. According to this statement, Zhao Li's so-called supply has long been cut off, and it is only a matter of time before he falls. If you want to change this situation, you have to change the situation, at least bring the rebels to the same level as yourself.

On the other hand, if the rebels gain a foothold on the edge planet, then it will inevitably become a solid rear base for the rebels, and other supplies can even be collected on the spot. In that case, it will be even more detrimental to the war on the Traveling Planet. And once the rebels take over the planet again, then the rebels' forces will be united.

For Zhao Li, this is equivalent to a dead end. Either treason or death, the best case scenario is to become a guerrilla, either way, it is not what Zhao Li wants. Zhao Li will never allow these situations to happen.

The results on James' side have not yet come out, and Sanders and Li Mengdie have returned one after another.

Acala and Saipan basically still maintain infantry stationing, and the number of soldiers stationed in the two places is basically the scale of the last encirclement and suppression of the two airborne regiments. Local militants, who have already joined the army for the first time, are also undergoing intensive military training.

If this was the case, Zhao Li could not worry about the two closest areas at all, and go all out to deal with the enemy's supply base.

Zhao Li, Sanders, Li Mengdie, three people, lying on the electronic map, combined with satellite pictures, nervously formulated a plan to attack the supply base. The three of them are all special soldiers, and this kind of combat is exactly what they are good at.

There are two supply bases, and it is best to attack them at the same time, otherwise, it will alert the enemy and have basically no chance of a successful surprise attack. Moreover, there must be great risks in carrying out this task, and if you are not careful, the person who performs the task will be the result of death.

For such bases, there are various cases of special operations, just choose a few that look similar, and then modify them according to the real situation. Of course, planning is planning, and the most important thing is the ability of the person who performs the task to improvise.

A plan that could not be described as detailed, but also not simple, was sent to General Lucas. On the screen, the general seemed to attach great importance to this plan: "Is it feasible? ”

"It's difficult, General!" Zhao Li did not hide it, the general's combat experience was 10,000 times richer than his, so he could naturally see the advantages and disadvantages of this plan, and Zhao Li did not make an axe in front of the general.

"Who's going to do it?" The general asked Zhao Li while looking at the plan.

"I, there is still ......" Zhao Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "There is also Major Li Mengdie of the genius school." ”

"You can't go!" The general didn't even look at the plan, so he directly vetoed Zhao Li's request to personally carry out the mission: "You are now the supreme commander of the edge planet, and you must not take risks personally." You have to learn to leave things to your subordinates. ”

"Major Li is not my subordinate, General!" Zhao Li reminded Li Mengdie's identity: "She volunteered to help me." No matter how disgusted the traditional military is with the genius school, Zhao Li doesn't want Li Mengdie to be treated with the same hostility as them, and this is the time for the general to accept Li Mengdie: "In the previous battle, she helped a lot!" ”

"As a federal soldier, this is the time to step up." After listening to Zhao Li's words, the general's serious face did not change at all: "Whether you are a person from a genius school, they are all soldiers. Her meritorious service report has been transferred to the school for the gifted, don't worry! I'll get her command over to you as soon as I can. ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Li didn't know if his careful thinking was useful, but at least for now, it seemed that the general could accept Li Mengdie.

"When are you going to do it?" The general asked again.

"Wait until the rebels' supply routes are determined." Zhao Li replied quickly to the general.

"The experts are still calculating, and I will let you know if there is news." The general said noncommittally. It seems that there is no interference with the execution moment determined by Zhao Li.

After ending the communication with the general, Zhao Li walked out of the communication room, looked at the soldiers who were training in full swing, and sighed with emotion: "These soldiers, once they start a counteroffensive, how many people will be alive in the end?" ”

"Zhao Li, new situation!" James still appeared in front of him with a tired face, but with a hint of excitement in his tiredness, he handed Zhao Li a memory: "Supply channel, there is still time." ”

"Time? What time? Zhao Li took the memory, didn't look at it, and asked James directly.

"The time when the next batch of rebel supplies will pass through the supply channel." James was confident: "Accurate time." ”

186. Ambush plan

"Where did you get it?" Zhao Li's face was pleasantly surprised, and he never doubted whether James's statement was true or false.

"Those friends of mine, there are a few of them with great powers." James replied, but it had the same effect as no answer.

With the memory in hand, Zhao Li hurriedly ran to James's simulation room, plugged in the computer, and then, a very secret but large enough passage through the large warship was displayed on the screen.

The reason for the secrecy is that there are several large meteorites blocking the way at several key locations, and if the objective analysis of the computer is followed, this situation will not be regarded as a condition for meeting the passage standards at all.

"These?" Zhao Li pointed to the large meteorites on the screen and turned his head to look at James.

"Disguised." James revealed the key to it: "It is a man-made large camouflage meteorite, the shell of the meteorite, and the inside is still a small warship, and the engine power is enough to push the meteorite outside." When needed, these meteorites can be pushed to the appropriate location, and when not in use, these camouflaged meteorites will block the entire shipping lane, and unless you board these meteorites, you will not be able to detect them even if you get close. ”

In this disguise, there are seven or eight pieces in total, dividing the entire passage into seven or eight sections. From the results of external scanning, it will not become a standard route.

Looking at the unimpeded route after removing these disguises, Zhao Li really didn't know what to say. Turning to face James, he looked up and down several times: "That friend of yours is a pity not to work in the military's intelligence department." ”

"He doesn't like people in the military, including me." James shrugged and gave Zhao Li a very inexplicable answer. I don't like him, and I actually revealed such important information to him, what is this person thinking? Or rather, what exactly is this person going to do?

Or does he not like the rebels and wants to defeat them? Who knows? James looked at Zhao Li's gaze and gave him such an explanation that could not be explained.

"How do you convince the general of this information?" Zhao Li looked at the route on the screen, a little undecided.

"That's your business." James shrugged his shoulders again, spread his hands, and gave Zhao Li a helpless signal, then stretched out his hand, stretched out a big lazy waist in front of Zhao Li's eyes, and yawned heavily: "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first, don't call me for trivial things!" He turned around and left, leaving everything here to Zhao Li.

With such detailed information, Zhao Li really couldn't believe it. James's friend was able to get such a detailed thing, could it be that his friend was a member of the rebel army at all? When James served, the rebels had not yet risen up, and it was very possible that his comrades at that time had joined the rebels.

Can you believe it? Should I believe it? This is not the problem in front of Zhao Li. After such a long period of cooperation, there is no problem of mutual trust between everyone, but Zhao Li is worried about how to explain to the general where he got these things?

Thinking about it, there is no good way, do you want to confess directly to the general? This is absolutely impossible, once James's identity is revealed, then the charge of actively participating in the armed robbery as a prison warden will be confirmed. The yellow mud fell in the crotch of his pants, and it was not but was.

"What's this?" Sanders is clearly experienced with this kind of thing: "Didn't the top ask you to deal with it with everything? Let's just say that one of your informants got the information by chance, just ask the above for cooperation. There is no need to reveal the specific course, just give the coordinates of their ambush and let the fleet from above cooperate. ”

Sanders's large-scale approach made Zhao Li's eyes shine. Yes, that's the way to do it.

Time was running out, and Zhao Li had to bite the bullet and dial General Lucas's communication to ask for support.

"General, this is my plan for an attack, please approve it." The plan for another carefully prepared simultaneous attack on the rebels' supply depots and supply lines was submitted to the general, who was waiting for his approval.

"Are you sure?" The general still didn't look at the plan, and asked Zhao Li first.

"No, General!" Zhao Li stood upright and directly answered this negative question in a very certain tone.

"Not sure?" The general asked in a low voice: "Then you still want to do it?" ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Li also seemed to be out of the way, and no longer kept it: "This is the most suitable opportunity in the near future, if we miss it, there will be no better opportunity in the future, if we wait for those supplies from the depot to be distributed to the various rebel garrisons, our situation will be more passive." ”

It's also playing a time gap. The rebels were also too hasty in taking over the periphery, and destroying supply depots and supply lines while they were not yet in place would deal an even bigger blow to the rebels' morale. And if you miss this opportunity, it is true that as Zhao Li said, Zhao Li's side will be more passive.

Looking at Zhao Li's resolute face, the general didn't say anything, and began to look down at Zhao Li's plan. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Li without speaking. Neither of them spoke, they looked at each other like this, and were silent for a long time.

Finally, the general seemed to see that kind of persistence in Zhao Li's gaze, and nodded emphatically: "I approve, the ambush fleet you asked for will appear at the designated place on time." Let's do it! ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Li originally prepared a lot of rhetoric and waited for the general's interrogation, but unexpectedly, the general did not make any inquiries about these at all, and directly passed the plan. The process went so smoothly that Zhao Li was dumbfounded, and at the same time, he didn't know what was going on the general's side.

The moment Zhao Li hung up the communication, in the general's room, the adjutant was watching the general make a decision, and he was very puzzled: "General, how could you agree with his plan of a hairy boy?" ”

"Look at it!" The general handed the plan to the adjutant, who quickly skimmed through it and gently put the plan on the table: "General, this is an adventure!" ”

"I know, and he knows." The general sat in his seat and looked out the window: "But I saw in his gaze that firmness. Perhaps, he will be able to pull off miracles. ”

"But, where is the fleet that can cooperate with them at this time?" The adjutant was a little anxious: "There are only three fleets of army groups on the front line, and the enemy can only maintain an equal match, if it is separated, I am afraid that it will be ......" The adjutant did not need to speak, the general naturally knew what he meant.

"Send my convoy!" The general's side has also made up his mind, and it seems that he is going to break the kettle and strike a desperate blow.

"However, the general ......" The adjutant was anxious and didn't know how to persuade the general, so he could only take Zhao Li's plan and say things first: "He only said that he was ambushed at the designated place, what was the ambush, whether the information was accurate, he didn't explain, this is a risk, general!" ”

"Ambush the enemy's supply fleet, of course. It's not much of a risk for us. The general turned his head to look at the adjutant: "I just asked my escort fleet to go around that place, and it is best to ambush it, and if it can't be ambushed, it will return immediately, and for me, there is no loss." Without an escort fleet, would the rebels be able to reach me in just two days? It's they who are really adventurous. ”

"But......" The adjutant wanted to say something, but the general raised his hand to stop him.

"Needless to say, follow the plan." The general made the final decision: "He has to fight to the death to complete those tasks, and we have a lot easier here." All along, Zhao Li has never disappointed me, and I hope this time, he can surprise me again. ”

"Yes, General!" The adjutant didn't say anything, saluted directly, and went out to arrange.

"You can't go." Not only Li Mengdie, but even Sanders and James said this time: "You are the supreme commander, and you are responsible for everything here." In you, it is not only your surname, but also the life and death of these 4,000 people behind you. You don't want to be attacked by the rebels of Acala and Saipan while you're on a mission, do you? Sanders said this, which was quite euphemistic, and did not say that once the mission was carried out and there was an accident.

"James, you're in charge of staying behind and commanding, they won't attack you." Zhao Li insisted on his own ideas.

"I command?" James seemed to snort coldly as if he was a little jealous: "You go out and see your soldiers, can I command them?" If I'm called Crazy Zhao, maybe I can. ”

As soon as this reason came out, Zhao Li really seemed to have no choice. The soldiers here, not to mention the soldiers of Jin Wuxing who had been following Zhao Li, if it were just them, it might be a little better, at least they still recognized Sanders and Li Mengdie, the two instructors.

However, now, no matter whether it is those recruits or the soldiers of the airborne regiment later, they only recognize the orders of Zhao Li and Zhao Madman, and no one else listens to them. This is deliberately trained by those Golden Five-Star veterans, but no one has objected.

Whoever is left behind will not be able to command these soldiers like Zhao Li. As they say, Zhao Li has a reason to stay. Whether it's because he's the supreme commander or because of the attribution of command.

"Watch yourselves!" Nothing else, Zhao Li is not the kind of mother-in-law now, since there is no way to go by himself, then make a decision immediately. A few people were told a word and they were sent to board the battleship.

In this operation, the real execution was three people, James, Li Mengdie and Sanders, and some auxiliary personnel, including the elite soldiers trained by James before, and the elite group trained by Zhao Li.

Watching the small transport ship full of people and high explosives take off and leave, Zhao Li didn't know how to describe his current mood. I only felt that it seemed that my nameless true qi was turning more rapidly.

A plan is a plan, but it is not so simple to execute it. But now, Zhao Li can only stay at the base, and let the people in the communication group take turns on duty to listen to the information in front at any time.

On the general's side, he didn't know how to cooperate, although it was still early, but Zhao Li had already begun to be anxious. It seems that this process of issuing orders and then waiting for the results of execution is more able to test a person's patience, which is more frightening than Zhao Li's own mission.

And this worry is not only about the safety of the soldiers who are on duty, but also about the implementation of the mission.

Although he must be worried to death in his heart, Zhao Li didn't dare to show a little such a look in front of his soldiers, he needed to make a confident appearance all the time. Because, now he is no longer alone, but the backbone of nearly 4,000 soldiers. He must not panic.

"The fleet arrives at the designated position."

"The fleet went into an ambush."

"Wait for the target to appear."

……

A series of reports rang out at the same time in Zhao Li's communication room and the general's office. The general's arrangement was very timely, and there were still a few hours to go, and the fleet had already arrived at the ambush site.

The fleet was carefully camouflaged, and the results of normal radar scans were basically large meteorites. Being able to do this in a short period of time also benefited from the strong support of the general. From the meteorite belt, it is absolutely impossible to scan this fleet through so many small meteorites.

Everyone was waiting quietly, and the small transport ship piloted by James began to fly at an ultra-low altitude shortly after leaving the base, and they could not be detected from the radar for the time being. They have special tasks and need to keep their communications silent, and they don't know where they are or where they are.

It seems that in the process of waiting, the general and Zhao Li's thoughts are exactly the same. And Zhao Li, through this new torment, also experienced the feeling of being a senior military commander. Or sometimes the commander doesn't have to fight on the battlefield, but he definitely needs a strong psychological quality. This is something that Zhao Li could not experience at all when he was leading a small team of several hundred people.

"There is no movement in the target area!"

"There is no movement in the target area!"

"There is no movement in the target area!"

……

Every fifteen minutes, there would be this kind of routine report, as if it was testing Zhao Li's nerves again and again. Knowing that it was not time, he also believed that James would never joke about this kind of thing, but Zhao Li still couldn't help but worry.

"There is no movement in the target area!" It was another calm and ordinary report, but at this time, the time was already the time that Zhao Li had planned. Hearing this normal report, Zhao Li's heart suddenly rose, could it be that the intelligence was wrong?

Waiting quietly, there is no change in front of me, calm like a lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, behind this calm, Zhao Li had already stretched his nerves to the extreme, staring at the communicator tightly, as if flowers had grown on it.

"There is no movement in the target area!" Another report made Zhao Li's heart even colder, fifteen minutes had passed, according to the time, it was the time when the rebels' supply fleet entered the ambush circle, how could there be no movement?

"Zhao Li, is there a problem with the intelligence?" When the forward fleet reported that there was no movement again, even the general couldn't keep calm, connected Zhao Li's communication, and began to question.

"There should be no problem." Zhao Li knew that at this time, it was the time for him to strengthen the confidence of the general, and he must not even shake himself.

"Alright then, wait!" The general's words came: "If there is no movement for another half an hour, they can only be allowed to return." It is too dangerous to be exposed to enemy areas for a long time. ”

"Yes, General!" Zhao Li couldn't say anything more, so he could only agree.

"There is no movement in the target area!" Half an hour later, the message from ahead was still there. The general looked at Zhao Li's face, let out a long sigh, and began to give orders: "Return!" ”

"Yes, the fleet is back!" The voice of the commander of the fleet ahead, calmly came.

Just when Zhao Lidu thought that this ambush had failed, suddenly, the voice of the commander in front suddenly sounded: "There is a situation, there is a fleet!" ”

(To be continued)
