Taylor Rifa picture, inside the encirclement of the 2nd Regiment of the 124th Brigade of the Government Army.

The besieged members of the 24th STS gathered together to discuss the situation they were facing, taking advantage of the gap between operations and reconnaissance.

The first to speak was Finch, the leader of this team, who said with a frown as he looked at the marked battle map:

"The situation is not good, and the specific support plan and timing have not yet been determined."

"We have to find a way to stay on the ground, either by waiting for Taylor Rifat to be completely captured, or by having the Turkish military try to carry out an air raid."

"I'm already in contact with the CIA, and in addition to us, there are four intelligence officers operating in the city, and at the same time, MI6 has six people lurking."

"They're going to find a way to rescue us."

"As long as we can get out of Suhail's encirclement, we have a chance to complete the evacuation without relying on air support."

"How is this possible!?"

Before Fincher could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Wade, who had managed to escape with great difficulty.

The latter sat up with his body battered by shrapnel, and then continued:

"The 124th Brigade and the 104th Brigade have already directly participated in the battle of Taylor Rifat, and the government forces have surpassed the Free Army in terms of strength and equipment."

"Right now, the only advantage of the Free Army is our air power, and now you actually say that we are going to withdraw without relying on air superiority?"

"How to evacuate? Dig a hole in the ground like a rat? ”

"If only it really could!"

"Damn, here, even if we want to dig a hole, we'll have to use those excavators sold from the north!"

"We should call B-52, call B-2 support!"

"We should blow them to smithereens, and blow this city into ruins."

"Calm down, Wade!"

Finch turned his gaze sternly to Wade, and then spoke:

"It's not that you haven't experienced a failed operation, it's not that you haven't seen your brother leave, and as a fighter, you don't have the qualifications to have an emotional breakdown!"

Hearing Finch's words, Wade subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but in the end, he swallowed back the words that had rushed to his mouth, and after a long silence, he nodded and replied:

"You're right."

"But we really don't have any other way."

"We have to call in more and more powerful air support."

"It's not just for us, it's also about stabilizing the situation for Taylor Rifat."

"Turkey is moving too slowly, they are already overwhelmed by the change in the political format at home, and their support for the Free Army on the border has been reduced to a critical point, and I suspect that if Taylor Rifat continues to hold on for a long time, they may even announce a suspension of support for the Free Army"

"But we can't help it."

Finch interrupted Wade again, and then said:

"Congressional involvement in the war in Syria is limited, they have run out of money."

"The war in Libya consumes too much of our money and military resources, and the pressure on the Pentagon is high."

"Dispatching the B-52 is not something that can be done by words, it means that we will take the final step and fight this war ourselves."

"It's no different from being kidnapped by the Free Army. I don't think Congress will let the situation get to this point. ”

"So what do we do? Waiting to die here? ”

Wade's expression was extremely depressed, and it was clear that the injuries on his body had affected his judgment, and he could no longer have any positive thoughts.

Looking at his reaction, and then at the other players who were also demoralized, Finch couldn't help but sigh.

After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"We're not completely out of options."

"Now, we are just in a stalemate with the Suhail army, we can't quickly break through and evacuate, and they can't take the initiative to attack."

"We have more leeway than they do."

"MPRI and Academi are already negotiating a new round of contracts with the Ministry of Defense, and the results are expected within 12 hours."

"Once the contract is approved, they will be able to organize at least 400 or more elite combat forces to join the Taylor Rifat battlefield."

"When the time comes, whether it is a surprise rescue or a direct defeat of the government army, we can safely evacuate."

"I hope so."

Hearing Finch's words, Wade let out a long sigh.

But then he spoke again:

"Now we have a very real problem ahead of us."

"There's nothing to eat."

"Our supplies will only last three days, that is, only the last meal will remain."

"We have to find a way to get food and fresh water, as well as the necessary medicines."

"But now, most of the residents of the city have been evacuated, and they have taken almost all the supplies with them."

"We could even starve to death here."

"No, someone will help us bring supplies."

Finch spoke confidently, and Wade frowned and asked:

"Airdrop?"

"No, the International Peace Organization."

"To be precise, the Syrian Civil Defence."

"Can they come in?"

Wade's eyes widened in surprise.

"This is a war zone, this is a tightly cordoned off area of the Syrian government forces, and even if they allow the Civil Defence to operate in the city, it is impossible for them to blatantly send things over. Suhail couldn't be that stupid! ”

"No, this is an order from Bashar al-Assad."

Finch replied firmly, then explained:

"War is never more than a war, and for Bashar, if he wants to win, he must do everything in his power to win the support of all the powers."

"He has to do what we ask him to do, even if he doesn't want to."

"Now, there are at least hundreds of civilians in the blockade area who have not had time to evacuate, and with the previous gas bombing, Bashar is already helpless."

"If he wants to clear his name, he has to show the most positive attitude towards rescue."

"So, the Civil Defence will be unimpeded in Taylor Rifat."

"No one dares to attack them, not even a mad mercenary group like the Dongfeng Corps."

"So, wait in peace."

"They will come, after all, at such a time, whoever dares to do anything to them is the public enemy of all mankind."

"Understood."

Wade nodded heavily.

At this time, in his eyes, there was finally a bit of hopeful expectation.

"We're going to have to get rid of the Civil Defence guys."

In the temporary shelter of the Dongfeng Corps, Chen Shen said solemnly:

"This group is so disgusting that they can even be said to be blatantly carrying out intelligence activities in the city, and they are also using the passage of government forces to supply certain rebel forces hidden in the city."

"The skirmishes in the city have been going on one after another in the past few days, and to a large extent, they have to do with them."

"They are Taylor Rifat's cancer, and if you don't take them out, there is no chance of winning this defensive battle."

"Now, Bashar has been completely kidnapped."

"Although he has completely given up on peace talks and chose to resist, he still has expectations for the so-called 'public opinion advantage'."

"Probably the prism door gave him the illusion. He probably doesn't understand that public opinion can be suppressed temporarily, but it is unlikely that it will disappear permanently. ”

"Only the truth is the last thing that can stand."

"It's useless to beg them for all grievances, no matter how 'benevolent' you behave, there will be no change in the international evaluation of government forces."

"So, instead of this, we might as well break the jar and break it and kill the people of the Civil Defense Organization directly!"

"Now the opportunity is in front of us."

"Most of their core personnel will be gathered and soon enter the besieged area to 'rescue civilians', and there will be absolutely no real civilian volunteers in this group, and they are 100% 'original members'."

"We can get our hands on it, we don't give them any time to react, and if we succeed, their organizational structure will suffer a lot"

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Xia Xing on the side frowned.

She thought in silence for a few seconds before finally speaking:

"It is too legally and morally risky to take down the civil defense organizations, and while we have been able to identify most of them, at least for now, they are still harmless to the outside world."

"No matter what excuses, justifications, or evidence we have, an attack on them will be considered an anti-humanitarian terrorist attack."

"It's hard to say what the consequences will be, and we can certainly shift the blame to the JD organization, but if it doesn't handle it well"

"Even if the identity is revealed—do we really care?"

Chen Shen interrupted her and continued:

"The Dongfeng Corps has been on the Americans' JD Organizational Candidate List, and from the moment we killed Andrea, we no longer had the luxury of expecting how good our reputation would be."

"Of course, targeting civil defense groups is indeed more 'extreme' on the surface."

"But the question is, how many good people can there be in the so-called 'Borderless Neutrality Organization' that entered the war zone at such a time?"

"-—— is wrong, it's not 'a few good people', it's impossible to have a good person."

"So, my only appeal now is only one."

"Truthfully report our plans to your superiors and tell me the results of your decisions in the shortest possible time."

"It has to be fast, the opportunity is fleeting, understand?"

"Understood."

Xia Xing nodded solemnly, and then without the slightest hesitation, she immediately stepped aside, began to report upwards, and in just five minutes, she got feedback from the superior department.

And when she walked in front of Chen Shen again, she only made one request.

"The Syrian government forces must be involved in this matter."

"We have to drag the Syrian military into the water, we can't do all the dirty work, and leave them a chance to sit back and enjoy it."

"So, you have to meet Suhail and understand what I mean?"

"No problem!"

Chen Shen replied happily.

Subsequently, within half an hour, the Dongfeng Corps made contact with Suhail.

An hour later, Suhail led the team to the shelter of the Dongfeng Corps.

The formal meeting of the two "strongmen" was not as "turbulent" as depicted in many literary and artistic works, in fact, Chen Shen simply shook hands with Su Haier and explained his intentions to him directly.

"We're going to take out the Syrian Civil Defence in the city, the so-called White Helmets."

"Killing means that we have to find a way to kill all their core members without leaving a single one alive."

"We need your cooperation and participation in this matter."

"You're going to have to give us their place."

"I have heard that they will enter the blockaded area at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and carry out the so-called humanitarian relief."

"Whether or not these White Helmets are escorted by you, you must find a way to annihilate all their main forces."

"And we'll be responsible for purging their other strongholds in the city."

"There is only one principle, let no one leave alive."

"How's that, can you do it?"

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Su Haier's face showed an expression of surprise.

In fact, before he came, he only knew that a representative of a "big power" was going to discuss with him a plan of great importance.

He thought the plan would be an encirclement of the 24th STS, an interception of NATO follow-up support forces, or a further all-out attack on the Free Army.

But he only didn't expect that what the other party was going to move was such a "neutral organization" that seemed to have no impact on the battle situation!

In a sense, the plan itself already has a "terrorist" overtone.

But after listening, Su Haier not only did not feel angry, but was surprised and showed a look of admiration.

He looked at Chen Shen's eyes carefully, and after being silent for a few seconds, he suddenly asked:

"So, you also think there is something wrong with this so-called humanitarian aid organization?"

Hearing Su Haier's words, Chen Shen shook his head slowly, and then replied:

"It's not that we think there's a problem, they're in the same league as the militants in the previous gas bomb attack!"

"According to the information we have, the trajectory of these people is highly overlapping with that of the previous militants."

"They are most likely under the unified command of MI6 and have largely been involved in the terrorist attacks in the early stages."

"That alone is enough to give them the death penalty."

"I don't think you're going to turn down my offer, are you?"

When the words fell, Su Haier nodded silently.

Obviously, Chen Shen's words matched the clues he had.

There was a hint of pain in his expression of anger, as if the mere recollection of the attack had made him feel uncontrollable.

After a moment, he breathed a long sigh of relief and spoke:

"Hundreds of lives, at least more than half of them innocent civilians."

"They died a painful death, and their souls were tormented."

"I think it's worth a revenge."

"Even if it's pure revenge."

Hearing his words, Chen Shen nodded with satisfaction.

"So that means that we have agreed and the cooperation can begin?"

"Yes, we can work together."

Su Haier stretched out his hand to Chen Shen again, but at the same time, he asked again:

"So, what about the evidence?"

"After killing them, we need at least some proof that we're not killing innocents, right?"

"We don't need to."

Chen Shen shook his head and replied:

"As long as it is guaranteed that the first batch of white helmets all died here, then the hundreds of corpses that died of poisoning in the city are all evidence!"
