On June 13, the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, the fourth day after the Dragon Boat Festival, it was time for breakfast in the morning.

Jin Huanming hurried over from the team headquarters and reported an important situation to Chen Tao. Chen Tao immediately threw down his chopsticks and greeted: "Li Mu, follow me back to the team headquarters! The rest of the people continue to eat!"

Li Mu immediately threw his chopsticks and ran over quickly, and jumped into the warrior commuter car waiting outside with Chen Tao, and the warrior commuter car galloped back to the team headquarters.

Speechless all the way, Chen Tao's expression was stern, and Li Mu guessed that it was either very bad news or very good news.

Back in the barracks, Jin Huanming walked in front, and the three of them climbed the stairs to the team headquarters in a few steps, and Jin Huanming immediately handed the fax he had just received to Chen Tao from the locked drawer.

Chen Tao quickly looked at it, handed it to Li Mu, and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Mu's first reaction was to ask the source, but this thought was only fleeting. The fax was simple - information on the location of the assembly area of the 13th Special Operations Brigade. According to the regulations, the location information of the two sides before the start of the war was kept secret and only known to the director's department. However, all along, whether it is a large-scale joint military exercise or an annual test confrontation exercise of formed troops, before the start of a war, we will try our best to find out the relevant situation of the opponent, the deployment of troops, the information on the assembly area, and so on.

In the past, Li Mu's unit appeared to capture the Red Army disguised and infiltrated the reconnaissance, and the leader was a company commander, who was directly interrogated as an enemy, and it was not an exaggeration at all.

It's close to actual combat, as long as you don't die, it's easy to say.

Therefore, Li Mu didn't think there was anything excessive about Chen Tao getting the location information of the 13th Special Operations Brigade, and of course Li Mu would not be surprised by Chen Tao's channels. After all, Chen Tao has been working in the headquarters for a long time, and his contacts are definitely very extensive.

After thinking about it, Li Mu said, "There is no doubt that a reconnaissance will be dispatched." ”

Chen Tao nodded slowly, obviously what Li Mu thought was completely at the same point as what he thought.

"Let's talk to the conference room. Chen Tao walked out.

The two came to the conference room, Chen Tao took a small-scale map, and Jin Huanming hesitated and stayed at the team site.

Sitting down, Chen Tao took out a cigarette and lit it to smoke, and gave one to Li Mu, Li Mu lit it, and smoking in front of Chen Tao became more and more natural. In the midst of the smoke, both of them were looking at the map and thinking.

The 13th Special Operations Brigade has completed its assembly and is located 98 kilometers from the Hunter Commando's ground aviation base, in a township area called Chonggou, about 20 kilometers from the designated confrontation area.

The demarcated confrontation zone has a very familiar name -- the 100,000 Mountains. The director's department set aside part of it as a confrontation area between the two armies, a square area with nearly thirty kilometers on each side.

In other words, the two forces will engage in a merciless and brutal confrontation over a wide area of ninety square kilometers for seven days.

"Makeup scouting is the best way to do it. After pondering for a moment, Li Mu expressed his opinion, "The natural villages in Chonggou Town are very scattered, and there will definitely be many ordinary people along the way. Moreover, the assembly place of the 13th Special Operations Brigade is less than two kilometers southwest of Chonggou Town, and there must be a lot of ordinary people coming and going. Make-up scouting minimizes the possibility of exposure. ”

Chen Tao obviously preferred this method as well, and he nodded and said, "At present, this is indeed the only way that is most suitable. ”

As he spoke, his hand drew on the map, "Makeup to infiltrate reconnaissance, and then directly enter the confrontation area from Chonggou Town to infiltrate, two days, is it enough?"

Li Mu's eyebrows jumped, pondered, and asked, "Headhunter, what do you mean, one is divided into two, one part is made up for reconnaissance, and the other part enters the confrontation area directly from the army aviation base by air assault after the confrontation begins?"

"That's right. Chen Tao is sure.

Li Mu sank his voice and said, "It's better for all the staff to make up and reconnoitre, and when they are done, they will directly lurk at the location where they enter the confrontation area, and catch him off guard." ”

Chen Tao's brows jumped, and he smiled when he looked at Li Mu, "You kid is bold." ”

"Headhunter, it's a surprise. Originally, we didn't have an advantage, and we were fighting against each other, not to mention seven days, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to hold it for seven hours. Li Mu said.

"So unconfident?" Chen Tao asked.

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Headhunter, this has nothing to do with confidence, but I am calm enough." Although you didn't say it, I know that we are completely at a disadvantage, and there is no so-called advantage at all. Headhunter, others don't know about the situation of the 13th Special Operations Brigade, don't I know yet? Those people have been active in the Yunnan-Guichuan region for many years, but when they train across regions, they are best at mountain warfare and jungle warfare. The 100,000 Mountains are like their home. The location is good, we are gone. ”

After a pause, Li Mu continued, "Speaking of people, if I were the commander of the 13th Special Operations Brigade, I would send all the combat troops out and slowly play around the hunter commando like a monkey." Whether it is the quantity or quality of the troops, we can't compare. ”

"When I looked at the day, I was just at the team site, and I glanced at the weather forecast on my desk, and it was raining for at least three days during the confrontation. God is not on our side. Li Mu said, "So, if you want to win the confrontation, I think you have to take risks." ”

Chen Tao nodded in affirmation of Li Mu's thoughts, he said, "Your thinking is very clear, your mind is very cool, you see your own shortcomings, and you analyze the advantages of your opponent very well." ”

"However, I don't agree with your plan. ”

"There are two reasons for this. Chen Tao said, "First, there are too many people in makeup, which is very easy to expose and backfire. Second, according to your plan, once the reconnaissance work is exposed, there will basically be no need to fight, and the 13th Special Operations Brigade will wipe us all out before the official start of the fight. ”

Li Mu wrinkled his brows, the two problems that Chen Tao said have to be taken seriously in reality, in fact, the two problems boil down to one problem -- once exposed, then there will be a joke in the army in the future, a certain unit in the southeast let the opponent be completely annihilated before the exercise began.

The joke wasn't funny at all.

The gap between Li Mu and Chen Tao came out, and Li Mu's perspective on the problem still lacked some heat, after all, he was still young. Chen Tao thinks not only about tactics, but also about strategy. He did not dare to take lightly strategic issues concerning the honor of the entire military region.

"To put it mildly, even if you want to lose, you can't lose before the start. That would be an outcome that would be very difficult for all parties to accept. Chen Tao said, "Therefore, we must carefully consider this reconnaissance operation." Well, just combine it with the whole course of action. ”

Li Mu took a sharp puff of his cigarette and thought about it......
