179. Cryptic Commands

Zhao Li didn't know what to say, could it be that the matter of the Black Dragon Society had not been noticed by the people above? Or because Zhao Li's previous performance was too cool, the black dragon would be sniped by dozens of fighters, and more than half of them would die, so everyone chose to leave out this kind of organization with extremely low combat effectiveness.

However, in Zhao Li's previous sniper, the most seriously injured was the Black Dragon Society's surprise attack. Even Zhao Li didn't take the Black Dragon Society to heart in his previous observations. Even Zhao Li, who had personally experienced the war, was like this, so the armed drug traffickers of the Black Dragon Society, who were easily repelled and defeated by dozens of soldiers of Jin Wuxing, were not worthy of the attention of the above at all.

The reason why Zhao Li was able to win was because the time, place and people were on Zhao Li's side, but now, they were on the side of the rebels. The rebels occupy the military base, as well as the surrounding ambushes, plus the local hidden armament, the two airborne regiments may not be so able to adapt to jungle warfare, but the rebels have been adapting to it for more than a month, and have learned a lot at the cost of blood. The time and place are favorable, and they have all been occupied.

In the Akcala region and Saipan, there is no industry similar to rainforest mining, and there is no strong organization like Kang Hongyuan, who is still firmly on Zhao Li's side. If you want to win people, it's not that simple.

The general no longer had the heart to talk to Zhao Li, and after Zhao Li finished his business, he didn't have anything to say, hung up the communication, and continued to watch the battle situation ahead.

However, Zhao Li soon knew that he was still a little late in notifying, the report from the front line had not been refreshed for a long time, he had just encountered the front and rear ambushes of the rebels, and the people from the communication group quickly reported the above, but now, he had not received the news for at least twenty minutes.

Li Mengdie had been here with Zhao Li just now, and Zhao Li was given a cold reception by the two regiment commanders, and when she reported to the general later, she looked at it in her eyes. The situation at this moment, even if the general notified them, it means that there is a fierce battle, Li Mengdie is not a stupid person, of course he can imagine it.

Seeing that Zhao Li was a little unhappy, Li Mengdie couldn't help but open his mouth to comfort: "Zhao Li, that's not your fault. ”

"Of course it's not my fault! I'm not the commander of the field, and I don't have a coordinated mission, so remind them that it's just for the sake of the same federal political axe army, and I will kill them! Zhao Li listened to Li Mengdie's mouth, knowing that she misunderstood her thoughts a little, the current Zhao Li is no longer the simple and weak Zhao Li before, and he can be called a murderous character, how can he have any thoughts because of a news that he posted and told others to ignore it: "What I'm worried about is that if these two regiments can't contain the rebels, then they will have to directly face the attack of the rebels here." ”

's words made Li Mengdie cry and laugh. However, although what Zhao Li said is a bit unbearable, it is the truth. If the rebels hit two airborne regiments hard, then Jin Wuxing is still surrounded by the rebels, and the situation is not optimistic.

"Forget it, don't wait." Seeing that Zhao Li was still waiting, Li Mengdie smiled, it seemed that Zhao Li had indeed grown. Sometimes, Li Mengdie seems to have forgotten the responsibility he shoulders, and seems to follow Zhao Li, in addition to protecting him, he also has the task of monitoring him, but Li Mengdie has never seriously carried out the latter point: "Who knows how long it will take to fight, with this time, it is better to urge your soldiers to train!" ”

Zhao Li didn't insist, and followed Li Mengdie out of the communication room. The soldiers' training has already entered the regular stage, and some tactical movements of holding guns have been mastered, and they will soon be trained in live ammunition. At this time, Zhao Li's also had to raise his spirit, if the guys in front couldn't stand it, maybe they would have to rely on these "militiamen" who had only been trained for less than a month to go up.

The battle situation ahead, in Zhao Li's worries, began to develop in the direction he least wanted. When Zhao Li subconsciously went to the communication room to see the results after a busy day, he found that his worries had become a reality. Just when the two regiment commanders thought that the other side was only a rebel army of more than a thousand and planned to counter-encircle, the enemy suddenly increased his vital strength.

Night battles and jungles, the two factors that most hindered the deployment of large forces, could not be encircled, but were surrounded. This time, the rebels learned the lesson of the last time the Black Dragon Society failed to rob the strength of the big loss, and the cooperation between the regular army and the local armed forces was seamless, which was jaw-dropping, but it could not but be said that this time the rebels fought a beautiful turnaround.

The two airborne regiments, which are close to 4,000 men, are well-equipped, and although they do not have heavy firepower, they can be regarded as the main front-line combat regiments in terms of individual soldier quality, combat experience, and the commander's ability to adapt to changes. Surrounded by rebels separately, under the cover of the jungle and night, with the tacit cooperation of the regular army and the local armed forces, a large part of it was wiped out overnight.

Later, after dawn, the two regiment commanders each cleaned up the remnants, only to find that the full airborne regiment with an average of 2,000 people could gather more than 400 people around them, and the rest had been wiped out or scattered in the jungle and night.

What's even more terrifying is that the living force of the rebels did not consume much because of the elimination of most of the soldiers, and in terms of numbers, they accounted for the absolute majority. Luckily, none of the communication groups were wiped out, and they were still able to contact and send out such a battle report. At the operational level, the mission of the two airborne regiments has been completely defeated, and the time has come to find a way to minimize losses.

When Zhao Li saw these battle reports, he just let out a long sigh. After the previous sniper battle, coupled with reading the current battle report, Zhao Li found that arrogance is really the most important problem, harming others and himself. Whether it was the rebels before or the political axe army of the two airborne regiments later, it was for this reason that they failed so badly.

In the past, when those perverts in the prison took the trouble to preach this, Zhao Li still felt a little alarmist, in the face of absolute power, what was the use of those little schemes. Now I know that no matter what time it is, we must go all out, even if we use a regiment of people against one person, we cannot relax.

If such a big thing happens, there is no need to ask, the above will definitely try their best to rescue the two besieged regiment commanders. At this time, soldiers are easy to say, but qualified commanders are really hard to find. The loss of the personnel and command system of two complete main regiments at once is absolutely unwilling from above.

However, when the battle on the Journey Planet is raging, where will the upper authorities send people to rescue these people? Thinking about it, it seems that only Zhao Li is the closest to the front line, and he can be regarded as having a certain combat effectiveness. If nothing else, Zhao Li will definitely have to attack to rescue those people.

However, with such a distance and so many people on the other side, even if Zhao Li has the heart, he doesn't have that power. Piloting an assault ship over to help? If you don't get shot down, you have to burn high incense. The armed forces in their hands, those recruits, have just learned some combat movements, know how to shoot, how to load, how to open and close the insurance, and have not even experienced live ammunition shooting, take them over to fill that bottomless pit?

This is not good, although Zhao Li is an excellent soldier, he will not make sacrifices for a few arrogant guys. We have to find a way to drag on the time, and as long as the time drags on, those people will be eliminated, and there will be no problem. Just, on what grounds? Training? Out?

Sure enough, before Zhao Li could prepare, the communication above had been connected, and Zhao Li was named to answer it.

"General!" Zhao Li saluted the general with his surname, and then stood quietly waiting for the general's order.

"Did you get the battle situation?" The general did not seem to rest for a while, and his face looked very tired. Zhao Li understands very well that the loss of two airborne main regiments at a time is estimated to be an unprecedented defeat since the battle against the rebels, and the pressure of the general can be imagined.

"Yes, General!" At this time, Zhao Li didn't want to hide it, it was estimated that the general's temper would not be too good, if Zhao Li said that he didn't receive it, maybe he would get angry.

"We were a little late informed, they were already under siege. After a hard night, heavy losses. If you had taken precautions earlier, even if it was ten minutes in the morning, the result would have been completely different. The intelligence department has an unshirkable responsibility. When the general spoke, he kept staring at Zhao Li, as if he wanted to see something from Zhao Li.

Zhao Li also looked at the general without squinting, and there was no weakness on his face: "Yes, general, but they have already read the battle report of Jin Wuxing, and they are on the front line, they should be more improvised, if the success or failure of the war depends entirely on the intelligence department, what is the use of having a commander on the spot?" These words seem to excuse the intelligence department, but they also indirectly speak for themselves: "General, before I reported to you, I wanted to call them several times to remind them, and these have call records that can be queried." The implication is that you can't blame yourself.

The general's gaze was fixed for a long time before he softened a little: "We lost three thousand men overnight. The losses were greater than the casualties of the rebels before them. And we lost two military bases, as well as four attack ships. It is even possible that in the two regions of Akcala and Saipan, we cannot afford to lose even more. ”

"General, how can the rebels have anti-aircraft weapons?" Zhao Li was puzzled by this, and he was never able to think clearly.

"I don't know, maybe it's their local forces that have been preparing for a long time." The general also didn't know the details of this, and with how busy he usually was, he wouldn't pay attention to such a trivial matter. This time, it was because the two airborne regiments were almost wiped out, so there was a considerable degree of investigation.

"Lieutenant Zhao Li, the war zone can't draw manpower for the time being, but the remaining people of those two regiments can't help but save them." The general finally officially said the order that Zhao Li didn't want to hear: "You must bring people and bring them back!" Especially the commanders of two regiments. ”

"General, is this an order?" Zhao Li quietly listened to the general's announcement, and then quietly asked General Lucas. The problem that the two airborne regiments could not solve, but Zhao Li had to be completed by a small lieutenant, and Zhao Li had to confirm it.

"Yes!" Giving such an order, General Lucas himself knew that it was a bit excessive, however, he could not help but make a decision: "Those two people are of a very high rank and know a lot of the secrets of our army, and once they are captured, we will have even greater losses." And now, we absolutely cannot afford to lose that. So, they must not fall into the hands of the rebels! ”

"Then why don't they die? To die with their sacrificed men? Zhao Li asked this sentence fiercely in his heart. It's just that I can only say this to myself in my heart, and I have never been able to say it.

"I know it's not fair to you, but, I can only do this, we have no other choice!" The general hardened his heart and gave the order: "Yes, General! The decision had already been made above, and Zhao Li couldn't say anything more, and besides, he was disobeying the military order, so he saluted: "General, I'll arrange it immediately!" ”

"Good luck!" The general didn't know what to say, and in the end, he only said these four words, and nothing else.

The moment the communication was turned off, Zhao Li had an urge to smash everything here on the screen. Two arrogant guys made a mistake, but they had to clean up the tail for them. In the final analysis, his identity as a suspect and his status in the army are not high enough.

For the first time, Zhao Li had resistance to the thinking of these officials above. Perhaps, what the old man Kang Hongyuan said is right, it seems that only by mastering more power will he have the weight of his own words. Otherwise, they will have to obey this incomprehensible command, and they will either be sacrificed or scapegoated.

For the sake of the two arrogant guys, it is necessary to let more people join the ranks of sacrifice. Zhao Li felt angry that he had never felt before, and even his hands were a little trembling, so that he just wanted to pull some people to have a happy contest to vent. It's just that the responsibility of being a commander quickly brought him back to his composure and began to gather Sanders and James.

"That's all the order, is anyone else who doesn't know?" Zhao Li looked at the few people around him with a cold face. Li Mengdie, Sanders, James, and Night Pro are all there. Kang Hongyuan presided over the work in the urban area and did not appear here. Such a task, nine deaths and a lifetime, with a large number of people and horses, is in vain a burden, it is better to only have these elites.

"Why don't I contact the head of the gifted school and ask them to come forward?" Everyone knows how to do such a task. Li Mengdie didn't think about it, so she said this suggestion.

"No." Sanders is a traditional soldier and knows what to do: "In this way, the upper authorities may be forced to cancel or change the mission, but Zhao Li will not want to gain a foothold in the military in the future." ”

"But this is for him to die!" Li Mengdie's surname, which has always been calm, was also made angry by this order. As long as Zhao Li is involved, Li Mengdie can't maintain his original detached and cold attitude, which everyone has already seen, but no one says anything.

"Who hasn't carried out a mission of nine deaths?" James said with a tiger face. In a word, everyone was quiet. They are all soldiers, and they can be regarded as special forces, knowing the danger, and there is no reason to retreat.

"Zhao Li, are you sure you know the general's order?" James turned to Zhao Li's side and asked seriously.

180. Final Purpose

"What do you mean?" Zhao Li had been angry about the general's order, and listening to James's words, it seemed that there was a mystery in it, so he hurriedly asked.

"If, I mean, if you were one of those two regimental commanders, and you were in this situation because of your misjudgment, would you want someone to come and save you?" James asked rhetorically and asked Zhao Li to answer.

"Of course I hope." Zhao Li can't refute this point, everyone will have such a mind, who doesn't want someone to stretch out a hand when they fall to the bottom?

"Can you guarantee that you will never make a mistake?" James asked again.

"Can't!" This time, Zhao Li answered more resolutely. People make mistakes, even if they are immortals, there are times when they make mistakes, not to mention ordinary people.

"So do you hope that someday when you make a mistake, someone will come to your rescue?" James didn't seem to have a word to defend the two regiment leaders, but the questions asked made Zhao Li have no other choice.

"I see!" Zhao Li nodded, if you consider it from this aspect, it can be said that this will save your comrades, which is equivalent to investing in the future, maybe it is really like what James said, one day, there will be a time when someone else needs to save it.

"Are you sure you get it?" James looked at Zhao Li as if he had figured it out, and couldn't help but hit Zhao Li again: "I see, you still don't understand anything." ”

This time, Zhao Li was once again confused, what did James mean by that? He finally made himself psychologically accept the action of saving those two guys, how could he still say that? I couldn't figure it out, and there was nothing to think about at this time, and I didn't have time to ask, so I could only ask: "Didn't you go and rescue those two senior commanders?" ”

"Confirm a little!" James stretched out a finger and put it in front of his eyes: "Carefully confirm, is it to be rescued or brought back?" ”

"Bring it back!" Zhao Li thought about General Lucas's words at that time and answered clearly.

"Are there any precautions?" James threw out one question after another, as if he was making things difficult for Zhao Li. Li Mengdie found that the atmosphere was not right, and was about to speak, but was quietly pulled by Sanders to stop it.

"Nope!" Recall, Zhao Li can answer very clearly.

"So, think about it, think about it, why do the two of them have to be saved?" James seemed to be inducing Zhao Li, and Zhao Li also understood, but he still didn't figure it out for a while.

Why? Because those two guys have a lot of important secrets of our army, and they must not fall into the hands of the rebels, otherwise the political axe army will suffer huge losses.

It must not fall into the hands of the rebels! Zhao Li instantly understood something, looked at James, then at Sanders, licked his lips, and replied: "The general said that they must not fall into the hands of the rebels!" ”

"Bingo!" James snapped his fingers: "This is the main premise, the rest, you can think about it yourself!" ”

Zhao Li's mind began to spin wildly. The two commanders cannot fall into the hands of the rebels, so they need to be sent to save them. However, there are no other suitable people around, only Zhao Li, a force that can be used. Who does not need him?

However, the strength in Zhao Li's hands, the general will not know that the last time he won was because of the enemy's carelessness and other factors, and he wanted to let those "militiamen" who had just joined the army save the regular army, isn't this a joke? Even Zhao Li felt that the order given by the general was very problematic, didn't the general himself know?

James also carefully confirmed that it was not to save people, but to bring people back. So it's worth playing, bringing back the living, or bringing the dead?

If conditions permit, of course, it is better for the living to be better than the dead, but the general also said that the two commanders must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the rebels, so his subtext is that once they cannot be rescued, then, make sure that the two commanders cannot live to say a word to the rebels. In this case, there is naturally no need to worry about leaking any military secrets.

If you figure this out, then this operation has a big bullet name. Zhao Li's implementation is much less difficult. Originally, I thought it was a death, but now it seems that it is very likely that this is not the case.

"Why didn't the general say it explicitly?" When Zhao Li asked, he knew that he had asked a stupid question.

Sure enough, James looked at Zhao Li with a smile: "What do you say?" ”

The general did not say it because the order should not have come out of his mouth at all. In this way, it will chill the hearts of many people. Although everyone has no good way, no one wants to carry this person on his back to be trapped, and he sent someone to shut up the black pot without going to the rescue.

But the order is much simpler when it comes to Zhao Li, at most, Zhao Li failed to complete the task, but, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhao Li can only make the most unwilling choice and kill the two commanders. After the above investigation, there are many objective reasons that can be used to prevaricate, and strictly speaking, the task is half completed. When the time comes, when someone says something about this, the general will naturally not stand by and help him solve the trouble, even if it is to repay the favor, the general will definitely speak for himself.

"Sniper rifles!" Zhao Li gave Sanders an order to prepare things. He began to wonder if it was possible to successfully rescue the people on both sides.

"Don't be hopeful." James struck at Zhao Li: "People are self-aware, you got lucky last time, do you plan to bring out a few people in the midst of thousands of people this time?" ”

"Let's take a look." Zhao Li didn't say dead, anyway, if you encounter a problem, you can improvise: "You come to pilot the battleship!" ”

Only Zhao Li, Sanders, Li Mengdie, James and Yelin set off. It seems that all the leaders of the group on his side are there, except for Kang Hongyuan, who has no force value. With James piloting the battleship, Zhao Li and the others were all relieved.

Both attack ships, both at low altitudes, followed the small transport ships and provided air support at any time.

"Don't reach out to them!" On the battleship, James stopped Zhao Li's attempt to contact the two commanders: "Look at the situation, once they have unrealistic hopes, it will harm them." ”

"Yes." Zhao Li was very obedient this time and began to mark on the electronic map. The coordinates of the two besieged locations, the besieged soldiers had already been sent to the general, and Zhao Li could also see it from here.

"Looks like it's not going to be good!" Closer is the Saipan area, where the combined strength of the rebels and local forces is so impressive that they are surrounded by information from the besieged soldiers. And it's going on the attack. The soldiers could only rely on some simple fortifications and put up desperate resistance, but suffered heavy casualties. The rebels are further compressing their circles, and now there are less than a hundred people alive.

"There's no hope left here!" James looked at the situation here and came to a conclusion.

Zhao Li looked at the markings on the map, and couldn't help but admit that there was indeed no good way. After pondering for a while, knowing that he had to make certain choices, he could only turn his head to Sanders: "Sanders, it's up to you here." ”

Hearing Zhao Li's order, Sanders nodded, picked up a sniper rifle from the back shelf, carried a tactical backpack, carried an electronic map equipped with a positioning device, opened the hatch, and jumped directly from the flying transport ship.

Everyone has already seen the photos of the two commanders, and they have been trained for a long time to never recognize the wrong person. Zhao Li believed that Sanders would never let the regiment commander fall into the hands of the rebels alive.

"Speed up!" The situation here is already like this, but there is still a glimmer of life in the Akcala region, there are not many local armed forces there, and there are still quite a few remaining members of the political axe army, almost more than 400 people, who are still stubbornly resisting. Perhaps it happened to occupy a good terrain, and the rebels could not attack it for a long time. Neither side has heavy weapons, and it is like this.

"Good chance!" Akara obviously still has a chance of survival. Zhao Li looked at the situation map here excitedly: "Contact them and let them guide us, at least indicate which direction is the local armed forces." ”

James understood Zhao Li's thoughts, after all, the local armed forces could not be compared with the regular army, as long as they attacked suddenly and broke the encirclement of those local armed forces, there was still a good hope of rushing out.

"I'm the commander here, lieutenant, in which direction are your men coming from?" After receiving Zhao Li's communication, the other party seemed to be very surprised, this time there was no longer the kind of saying that Zhao Li should take care of his own one-third of an acre, and the head of the regiment went directly to the communication screen.

"Help us determine the direction of the opponent's weak armament, and we will break through from that direction." At this time, Zhao Li didn't have any nonsense, and he didn't care that the other party's military rank was several levels higher than his own, and he directly used the tone of command.

"Northwest, the enemy's attack forces in this direction are relatively weak." The other party didn't have time to pursue these, and quickly pointed out the direction to Zhao Li.

"After our air strike is completed, you will break through to the northwest, and we will have someone on the periphery to answer us!" After Zhao Li established a simple communication with the other party, he quickly began to deploy troops on his side.

"James, it's up to you to drive!" Zhao Li also broke the kettle this time: "As long as you can avoid the attack of the first round of air defense weapons, our attack ship can lock on to the position of the opponent's air defense weapons." ”

"Leave it to me!" In his bones, James is an adventurer who loves life in the army, is bloodthirsty and adventurous, and has a German surname with Sanders.

"Put us down from the northwest, and then you go and feint the enemy. After attacking the rear of the attacking ship with a round of enemy anti-aircraft weapons, it joined the ranks of attacking the enemy in the north-western direction. Remember, all air strikes, there can only be one round, immediately far away, we just need to open a way, not asking how to kill effectively, understand? I don't want you to kill a few enemies and be shot down by anti-aircraft fire! Zhao Li gave a simple order, but everyone knew very well what they were going to do.

The small transport ship could hover and put Zhao Li, Li Mengdie, and Ye Lin down. Then, according to the plan, James appeared above the local head and began to attack the local forces in the northwest.

As Zhao Li had planned, when James began his attack, at least three surface-to-air missiles flew from the military base in Akara and attacked James' small transport ship. In this direction, much farther away from the barracks, it seems that the enemy did not arrange anti-aircraft artillery fire on the spot, allowing James to take advantage of a loophole. The transport ship piloted by James was like a dragonfly dancing in the fire, nimbly and agilely dodging several missile attacks one after another.

The low-flying medium-sized attack ships in the back directly shrouded the local military camp with overwhelming artillery fire, and after a [***] equivalent of artillery fire, they quickly left this direction and joined the air attack in the northwest direction.

This successive series of strikes seemed to make the enemy in the barracks somewhat unresponsive, and for at least two minutes after that, no missiles flew in the barracks.

Two minutes and a lot of things are enough. Taking advantage of this opportunity, James, together with two medium attack ships, threw his strongest artillery fire on the heads of the enemy in the northwest without hesitation. James, in particular, started twenty meters in front of the temporary fortifications of the Political Axe Army, strafing all the way. This attack ship, just like the last time it fought against the Black Prison mercenaries, is equipped with large-caliber machine guns, full of ammunition, and almost a mobile pillbox.

Not to mention the attack ships, which instantly enveloped almost a large area in this direction in a sea of fire. It seems that at this time, no one cares whether it will cause a forest fire.

In the event of a sudden blow, not to mention the local armed forces, even the regular army, when they saw the attack ships fully armed and exposed their hideous faces, few infantry dared to confront them. Watching James's artillery fire, they forced a way out of the forest. Then the battleship flew away, and after dozens of seconds, I saw that the anti-aircraft missiles of our own side, which had been belated, could no longer lock on to the enemy battleship, and turned around in vain in the air, and fell headlong into an unknown corner.

The besieged regiment commander was also a ruthless character and did not waste this opportunity. After all, the soldiers of the regular army had all practiced combat techniques, and with the wounded, the brigade quickly came out of this gap in the sea of fire. The local armed forces in the northwest direction had already been dizzy by a round of air strikes, and when they reacted, they could only look at a pile of burning forests in a daze.

"Report, Lieutenant Zhao Li, I am ordered to respond!" Seeing a group of blackened warriors with hundreds of smoked people coming out of the jungle fire, Zhao Li and the others were already waiting in that direction. Soon met the head of the team leader, but the head of the group couldn't be recognized by the smoked appearance, if it wasn't for him reporting to his home, Zhao Li wouldn't dare to recognize it at all.

"Where's the brigade that responded?" The head of the regiment was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Li, Li Mengdie and Yelin, and asked.

"There's no big team, everyone is here!" Zhao Li replied loudly: "There are still a few in the battleship, and now they have returned." When we get to safety, they will be there to pick us up. ”

Hearing that there were only three people, he came up with such a crazy plan, and he also succeeded in bringing them out of the encirclement. Although most of the credit should be attributed to themselves, if it wasn't for them desperately breaking through, Zhao Li would not have been able to receive it, but it was the first time that such a crazy response method had been encountered.

"You are Zhao Li!" The head of the regiment, whose face was full of darkness, looked at Zhao Li's young face: "I heard that you have a nickname called Zhao Crazy, and you are really crazy enough!" ”

(To be continued)
