"The goal has been confirmed."

"There are about 60 people in total, scattered in a total of 21 houses near the supermarket."

"The situation is more complicated, and according to the current intelligence analysis, these JD elements are mixed with the local civilians in Tabuka."

"We can't confirm whether civilians have a clear understanding of the identity and background of the JD elements, let alone whether they are connected to the JD elements."

"So, we can't use weapons of mass destruction, we can only do a single-point cleaning of every house."

"It's going to be a tough street fight, and it's going to be more difficult than ever before in CQB."

"And, in order to prevent the JD elements from escaping to other areas, we must also put in place a strict blockade on the surrounding streets."

"It's going to take up a lot of manpower, and Suhail's team will be fully engaged in the work."

"The only one who can really attack is ourselves."

"50 people, attacking 21 houses, there is no way to attack at the same time."

"It's very difficult, and it can even be said that it's basically an impossible task."

"Well, do you have any good suggestions?"

In the combat command room, Chen Shen was pointing on the freshly baked combat map while introducing the details of the mission.

And after listening to his briefing, everyone present fell silent.

Fight more with less, it's not that they haven't practiced; CQB, they are certainly more familiar; Night environment operations, with the blessing of night vision devices, are no longer a problem.

But when the problem is that when these three elements are combined, its difficulty is not a simple 1+1+1=3, but 2*2*2=8!

The forces are scattered, the enemy is dark and clear, and once the enemy discovers it, there is no way to deploy your own formation.

It's too difficult, can't they think of any good way in a short period of time?

Chen Shen's gaze swept around, and finally landed on the veteran he was more familiar with.

He looked at the poplar tree, who had always bowed his head in contemplation, and asked:

"Poplar, tell me what you think first."

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Yang Shu coughed and replied:

"If you follow my idea, it is to directly guide automatic howitzers, large-caliber mortars, and other explosive and lethal weapons, and directly demolish all these 20 buildings."

"Or to put it more simply, besiege but not attack, cut off water and electricity, and starve all the people inside to death."

"Anyway, the JD elements have already moved into their house, does it matter if we have any evidence that they are JD elements?"

"Whether they are or not, when they turn into corpses, it's not up to us to decide"

When the words fell, Chen Shen rolled his eyes helplessly, and then explained:

"Your idea may work elsewhere, but you know, this is Syria, this is Tabuka, this is a city that has been eroded by JDIST ideas."

"Anything that has the potential to exacerbate tensions between the people and the government must not occur, because once it does, everything we do is meaningless."

"And, in extreme cases, it may even be used as a propaganda ploy by those JD elements."

"So, don't mention this plan again, think about it again!"

Poplar spread his hands helplessly and replied:

"Then I can't help it, the combat form here is completely different from when we were in Pubei, there are too many concerns, too many restrictions, my set of rules, obviously won't work."

"Let the others think about it—Lin He, what do you say?"

At this time, Lin He was still frowning and thinking about the plan, and suddenly heard Yang Shu call his name, he raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and subconsciously replied:

"Huh? How do I say it? ”

"I think like poplars. Isn't it okay to poison tap water? ”

"Nope."

Chen Shen shook his head decisively.

"Then I can't help it."

"Seriously, I don't think there's anything better to do in this situation, maybe just fight hard."

Lin He's words fell, and Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, it's not impossible to play hard.

If he was now the strongest group of veterans of the Dongfeng Corps, then Chen Shen probably wouldn't hesitate at all.

What about 60 people? What about the complex terrain? What about the scattered enemies?

Starting from the first building, the blind spot of fire was stuck, and the building by building was pushed over, and Chen Shen was even confident that the number of casualties would be controlled to less than two people.

——

But the problem is that now I have all the recruits in my hands.

They did undergo long-term training, and even fought a few small-scale security battles in Pubei.

However, after all, they are not veterans who have really experienced the baptism of war for a long time, and when they are really engaged in high-intensity and high-intensity conflicts, they will definitely make mistakes.

And if you make a mistake, the consequences will be catastrophic.

Not to mention two casualties, maybe even a single-digit casualty, is a luxury.

He was not willing to take this risk, nor was he willing to exchange the lives of his teammates for a result that seemed to him "meaningless".

Thinking of this, Chen Shen turned his gaze to the white dog again.

And by this time, the latter had already raised its head.

Noticing Chen Shen's gaze, the white dog spoke:

"I do have an idea, but not tactically, but strategically."

"Tell me about it?"

Chen Shen immediately became interested, and he sat up slightly straight, waiting for the white dog's answer.

The white dog took a deep breath and said:

"The biggest trouble with this task is actually in two points."

"First, the problem of identifying friend or foe."

"The JD elements are mixed with civilians, and we can't easily and quickly identify them when we carry out the cleanup, which poses an uncontrollable risk to us."

"Second, there is the issue of the means of attack."

"All the high-security attack methods we can use are restricted, which means that the equipment gap between us and the other side has been narrowed to a very low level."

"If we want to avoid casualties as much as possible, we have to address these two issues."

"But obviously, no matter what tactics are used, it is impossible for us to solve these two problems at a tactical level-—— this is an objective law."

"So, we can only think at a higher level from the tactical level."

"And then?"

Chen Shen asked.

"Then it's as simple as solving one of the problems, and both will be solved at the same time."

"Don't sell it, say it quickly!"

Chen Shen scolded angrily, and the white dog smiled and replied:

"I'm not talking about that."

"I mean, what we're trying to solve is the problem of identification."

"Now, aren't we trying to figure out who the JD molecules are?"

"What if we don't need to screen it?"

"What if there was a means to get them to the surface on their own?"

"If you say one more nonsense, pack my bags now and go back to Pubei!"

"Hairpistol."

The white dog hurriedly said:

"We give guns to residents and make sure everyone has weapons."

"Then, the non-resident residents within the demarcation area that we declared were all JD elements."

"The resident residents under the same roof as them can choose to surrender and evacuate, or they can choose to kill the JD elements themselves."

"Either way, we've got our problem solved, haven't we?"

Chen Shen was dumbfounded.

But Lin He on the side asked innocently:

"And what if they don't evacuate and clash with the JD Elements?"

"Do you need to ask?"

The white dog glared at Lin He with hatred and explained:

"Then they're JD molecules too."

"In that case, is it necessary for us to get in?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire combat command room fell silent again.

At this moment, all the recruits of the Dongfeng Corps who had just arrived in Syria felt an unprecedented shock.

Two hours later, White Dog's plan began to be executed.

Suhail did not expose his intentions, but issued the first "resident defense plan" after martial law with the local police department on the grounds of "strengthening security".

More than 2,000 light weapons of various types were urgently dispatched to Tabuka and all were distributed within four hours.

According to Suhail's statistics, at least two-thirds of the inhabitants of Tabuka are now armed, and in the so-called "key areas", the rate of gun ownership is more than 100 percent.

The reason is very simple, I don't care if you have a gun or not, now that I have it, you have to hold it for me!

Not only do you have to take it, but you also have to take on the responsibility of being a resident and bring me a gun to stand guard outside the door!

Comments?

I'm also for everyone's good, if you have any comments, then don't blame me for enforcing it.

Looking at the empty carriage and the residents standing by the window and outside the door blankly with guns, Suhail's expression was both serious and a little unconcealable.

"Chen Shen, your plan is always beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding."

"I've studied a lot of your battles in Pubei before, but most of those examples stayed at the tactical level, although they were just as exciting, but they didn't really reflect the wisdom of your commander."

"This time, I've really seen you. Insidious. ”

"Insidious, though."

"To be honest, I don't believe that the residents who harbor the JD elements will not know who is around them."

"It's just that due to public opinion and political pressure, I had to choose a more conservative solution."

"Now, all worries have been lifted."

"Then we just have to wait quietly, right?"

"That's right."

Chen Shen nodded calmly and replied:

"It won't be too long."

"Actually, as far as I know about the JD elements, the speed of the collapse of trust between them and the local population should be measured in minutes."

"Now, residents have been getting their guns for more than 30 minutes."

"Get your men going, start maneuvering towards the target area, and get ready to quarantine!"

"Understood!"

At the same time, the target area is within a private house.

Ayubi sat across from Faisal with a solemn expression, while the original owner of the house stood tremblingly in a corner far away from them.

He didn't have a gun in his hand anymore - in fact, it had been issued to him, but the moment the door closed, the real JD elements immediately seized all of their weapons.

This is a "distrust" on the surface, but the owner has nothing to do with such distrust.

He could only obey the arrangement, and could only listen to the conversation of the two big men with fear and nervousness.

The situation has deteriorated to the point where we can't control it."

"The other party's plan is quite insidious, they distribute weapons to the residents, and even ask the residents to stand guard against them."

"Not only does this give those friends of yours the ability to rebel against us, but it also gives them the opportunity to rebel against us."

"Do you really believe that they will obey you completely, trust you completely?"

"Do you really believe that they will be able to carry out your orders to the letter, even in the face of life and death?"

"No, it's impossible."

"Trust me, this is just their first step."

"In the next step, they will definitely declare that there are JD elements in our city, and call on all civilians to take up arms against their 'common enemy'."

"And once this information is released, do you know what awaits us?"

Hearing his words, Faisal was silent for several seconds, and finally spoke:

"We're going to get backfired."

"If the resident here does not resist, then they will be recognized as our comrades and will be attacked indiscriminately."

"And if they resist. Government forces will be caught between inside and outside. ”

"But, it's all based on the premise that they already know where we're going – is that possible? Can they pinpoint our location? ”

"Why can't it be? If our location cannot be determined, then what is the point of their martial law ?! ”

Ayubi stood up abruptly, pointed to the owner of the house in the corner, and said:

"These friends of yours have completely exposed us, and even if they can't determine which buildings we are in, as long as an area is designated and blocked, the result will be the same for us."

"They will artificially create a paradox of choice, they will artificially lead us into endless suspicion and doubt."

"And once that suspicion arises, it can never go away."

"Just like now. We took his weapon, but can we take his leg? ”

"He'll run out! He would run out with his family. ”

"By then, we'll be the only ones left here!"

"Faisal, now is the time for you to make a decision."

"Stay here and wait to die, or find a way to rush out?!"

As the words fell, Faisal's eyes became a little cold.

He knew that he really had no choice now.

If you don't go, you will be greeted by an unprecedented and ridiculous defeat!

"Let's go!"

He spoke.

"Kill the people here, and retreat!"

His tone was extremely cold, but he forgot that there was another person who had "lost trust" standing in this room.

The moment his words were spoken, the owner of the house immediately moved.

He threw himself at the gun, trying to get it back into his hands.

Unfortunately, Faisal's guards moved faster than him.

"Bang!"

One gunshot was followed by more gunshots.

Faisal picked up his rifle, pulled the bolt sharply, and spoke:

"Rushing out of the -——"

"Boom!"

A loud explosion drowned out his voice, and the blast of the explosion tore the entire house to shreds.

Ashes.

None of the people in the house survived.

Until the moment when his vision was completely dark, Faisal didn't understand why the other party suddenly opened fire.

——

However.

At this time, in the command room of the Dongfeng Corps, Chen Shen was extremely calm and gave his new order.

"Wherever there is gunfire, blow it all up."

"Since these residents do not choose to surrender, then whatever they choose, they are doomed."

"What we want is the rationality of public opinion, not really to let them live."

"There is no way that the people who take in the JD elements will have a second chance!"
