Although Gao Kan's sneak attack dealt a heavy blow to the newly established Excalibur Commando, it also taught everyone a good lesson and made everyone's hearts tense. An Ruizhi wrote a detailed report on the incident and prepared to report it to the command, which pointed out the cause of the incident and its own problems, and asked the command to punish him for his dereliction of duty.

Before sending out the report, An Ruizhi asked Li Tianxiao's opinion, and Li Tianxiao said to him after reading it: "You can't take all the responsibility for the incident on yourself, if you want to punish me." ”

An Ruizhi smiled bitterly, "Forget it, this is not a matter of blessings and hardships, so don't mix it up." ”

Li Tianxiao understood An Ruizhi's character, so he didn't say anything anymore, just signed his name at the end of the report, and then asked him, "What are your plans for the next move?" ”

"I don't think I can just spare Gao Kan so lightly, no matter what, I have to end his drug factory first."

Li Tianxiao thought about it for a while, and said in a consultative tone: "Do you want to attach our next action plan at the end of the report, and ask the chief for instructions?" ”

"Yes, what you said is right, you should ask the command for instructions, if I ask the command for instructions before I go to scout the drug factory in Gaokan, maybe there will be no sacrifice of Lao Le." An Ruizhi said with some reproach.

"Wise, you have to let go of this mentality, as a commander, you have the right to make decisions about the actions of the commando, especially in our current situation, I just think that it is better to listen to the chief's opinion when it is convenient for important actions to ask for instructions......" I suddenly felt that I couldn't say too much, and now An Ruizhi's psychological pressure was not small.

"Thank you Tianxiao, please remind me more in the future." An Ruizhi said sincerely, and from his tone, Li Tianxiao could hear that he was sincerely accepting his opinion.

"How did I hear so much from your words, when did I learn to be polite." I said jokingly.

"Okay, no more kind words in the future, I'll let the monkey send out the report, let's hurry up and study the plan of action later." An Ruizhi said with a smile that this was the first time he had a smile in a few days, indicating that he had returned to his previous state, which is what we all want to see.

An Ruizhi attached the next step to the report, and then called Wu Fenbin in, handed him a report, and asked him to immediately send it to the command headquarters by radio.

Radio is the only means of communication in the mountains and mountains of the Golden Triangle, and the loss we suffered this time has a lot to do with the lack of communication tools, and this will not happen if the team members in the village are evacuated half an hour early. When Li Tianxiao and Wu Fenbin went to Mandalay, they purchased the most advanced communication equipment, and in addition to two high-power radio stations, portable miniature intercoms could ensure that each team member could communicate freely within five kilometers.

After Wu Fenbin left, An Ruizhi immediately said to Li Tianxiao: "I originally planned to reconnoiter the drug factory in Gaokan first, and then formulate an action plan according to the specific situation, but now I have decided to give up reconnaissance and directly send troops to attack his drug factory. We had just killed his eldest son and his lieutenant, and this old boy would not have imagined that we would be serving his drug factory. ”

Li Tianxiao nodded and said, "I agree with your idea, how are you going to do it?" ”

An Ruizhi took out a blank piece of paper, quickly drew a simple schematic diagram on it, and then pointed to the schematic diagram with a pen and said: "The difficulty in ending the drug factory in Gaokan is that first of all, it is necessary to pass through his old nest Mo Lane Cottage, according to Lao Yang's description, the drug factory is in the valley behind the Mo Lane Village, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, and only the road from the village can be entered. This is an important reason why Gaokan chose this place as his lair. Whether the drug factory can be safely evacuated after blowing up is another key, because an explosion in the valley will definitely alarm the defenders in the stockade, and once the exit is blocked, the wings will not be able to fly. ”

"Are you no longer scouting because you're more familiar with the situation in the stockade? Looks like you must be confident. Li Tianxiao asked with a smile.

An Ruizhi nodded with a smile, "I have lived in the cottage for a while, and I have some understanding of the basic situation inside, and through Lao Yang and Ah Yan's description of the situation in the valley, I have formulated a plan of action." Now there is another favorable opportunity for us is the death of Gao Yuanqu and the adjutant, and more than fifty soldiers have also been wiped out by us, which is a big blow to Gao Kan's entire team, he definitely did not expect that we would destroy his drug factory so soon. ”

Looking at the sketch drawn by An Ruizhi, Li Tianxiao thought for a while and said: "The key to the whole operation is to control the Morong Cottage, according to the calculation, there are at least more than 400 people in the garrison in the village, and we are indeed a little few. ”

"I've thought about it, if I plan it well, I should be able to deal with the enemy, and my plan is like this......" An Ruizhi explained his plan of action in detail, and finally looked at me and asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?" ”

"Yes, this will not only blow up Gaokan's drug factory, but also weaken his strength, and it will be difficult for this old guy to do anything in the short term." Li Tianxiao thought for a while and then said, "I will take people to blow up the drug factory, and you are responsible for directing the operations in the stockade. ”

Both of them knew that it was a dangerous job to go to the valley to blow up a drug factory, because if any link went wrong, it might be intercepted by the enemy, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

An Ruizhi waved his hand and said resolutely: "I am the commander, and you must listen to me in action." ”

"It is precisely because you are the commander that you have to direct the entire operation in the stockade, and I will blow up the drug factory." Li Tianxiao suddenly grasped a reason, so that An Ruizhi couldn't refute it.

Looking at An Ruizhi's expression, Li Tianxiao then said: "You listen to me explain the reasons first, if what I say is wrong, it is up to you to decide." ”

"Okay, you say."

"We both know as much about the situation of the drug factory in the valley, whoever goes to blow it up is almost the same, but the situation in the village is different, you and the monkey are very familiar with the situation in the village, and you must be better at carrying out the actions in the village than others, so you command the actions in the village, and I take people to the drug factory to blow up the drug factory, do you think it's right?"

"Well, you win." An Ruizhi no longer insisted on his opinion, and said cheerfully.

"It's the truth that wins." Li Tianxiao jokingly said, "When are we going to act?" ”

An Ruizhi said without hesitation: "I will act tomorrow, get up from here in the afternoon, and arrive at the Molong village in the evening." Now let's get the guys in and study the details of the operation again. ”

In the evening of the same day, a telegram was received from the command, agreeing to the assault team's attack on the drug factory in Gaokan, and at the same time requesting that every aspect of the operation be carefully considered to minimize casualties. With regard to the assault on the commando, the command pointed out that although the responsibility does not lie with the commander, it also exposes the commando's mentality of underestimating the enemy, which must be overcome in future operations.

In the afternoon of the next day, the first operation after the establishment of the Excalibur Commando began, considering that Lao Yang was a little old and his physical strength could not keep up, he asked him to lead a Kokang soldier to guard the station, and the others acted with the commando.

There are also nine members of the commando team, plus five Kokang soldiers, a total of 14 people, and the road from the station to the Molong cottage is a rugged mountain road, which is difficult for off-road vehicles to drive, so they can only be reached on foot.

After more than six hours of arduous trekking, after dark, the assault team reached the woods outside the village of Mo Lane.

An Ruizhi asked everyone to rest for a few hours, because they had to wait until the early hours of the morning to start the action, and the team members used this time to eat something to replenish their strength and recharge their energy to prepare for the action.

When everyone was resting, An Ruizhi called Li Tianxiao to bring infrared binoculars to the outside of the village to observe the enemy's movements, and the two climbed on a big tree only a few dozen meters away from the cottage to carefully observe the situation inside.

Most of the place in the cottage was pitch black, and there was no light to be seen, only the light flickered on the side of the cliff inside.

An Ruizhi handed the telescope to Li Tianxiao, and at the same time said quietly: "Old eunuch, pay attention to those places with lights, there are barracks where Gaokan's troops live, they have generators, and they can supply electricity for several hours at night. The houses without lights are where the common people live, and at night they go to bed early. ”

"We're just going down the middle street to the valley behind the stockade?" Li Tianxiao asked An Ruizhi while observing.

"Yes, Ah Yan will lead you through the stockade at that time, and if it goes well, you will be able to enter the valley in half an hour."

After the lights in the stockade were extinguished, the two of them came down from the tree and returned to the place where the team members were resting, and found that everyone was checking their weapons and equipment, and they were ready to give the order to act.

An Ruizhi smiled and said to everyone: "What's the hurry, there are still two or three hours, let me sleep first." ”

Jiang Yutao came up and said with a grin: "Great God, this is the first attack of our Excalibur Commando, and the brothers have long been unable to hold back." ”

Li Tianxiao can also understand everyone's mood, how can he not be like this, what the soldier is looking forward to is the golden iron horse to serve the motherland, in a sense, it is the luck of the soldier to be able to gallop on the battlefield, and he cannot be regarded as a real soldier if he does not experience the test of war.
