Ten minutes later, in a deep forest by the river, after dispatching a guard post, squad leader Hou Jun took out the letter.
"Hurry up and read them all. You guys are watching while I talk briefly."
In fact, the so-called letter is just a piece of paper, a very simple and uncomplicated mission briefing.
The mission briefing is something that must be shown to the operation team members and related operation support and support personnel before any operation.
It covers all mission-related information such as action goals, time, location, people, etc. The function of this information is to allow operators to formulate the most reasonable and effective action plan based on intelligence.
Generally speaking, mission briefings are provided by intelligence units in special operations departments, and the intelligence departments in special operations departments provide information by professional intelligence departments. Sometimes for complex tasks, personnel from professional intelligence departments will participate in briefings and even
Get involved in the action.
"Our mission this time is to go to N Town to rescue and take away an important VIP, and the person responsible for guarding there is a platoon of troops, people from the Mountain Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion. Once the operation starts in N Town, if the alarm is triggered,
It will attract the pursuit of two fully equipped mountain battalions deployed nearby. We must avoid all pursuits and bring the VIP to the designated location to complete the mission."
Fatty Wei, who had not seen the letter yet, was very confident and said to the squad leader, this is not difficult, as long as we don't alert anyone, as long as we act fast enough and covertly enough, and cut off their communication lines before they trigger the alarm, that's it.
That’s it!
In fact, it makes sense for Fatty Wei to be so confident.
N Town is a very remote mountain village town, with forests and mountains within a radius of 70 kilometers.
Jungle operations are very friendly to small special operations teams, because even with the use of the most advanced reconnaissance satellites, it is difficult to find special operations teams hidden in the jungle.
Once you're done, run away and use the cover of the forest to evacuate.
It sounds pretty simple.
Hou Jun said: "It's really as simple as you think. You don't even think about how much food and water we have, and we only have individual equipment. We only have a barrel for heavy weapons, a sniper rifle, and mountain infantry."
There are wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and all-terrain vehicles. We can't even penetrate their infantry fighting vehicles. What's more, they have more firepower. Once discovered, it will be very difficult for us to break through. What's more, this is someone else's station.
They are much more familiar with this area than we are."
Li Zheng finished reading the briefing, handed it to Fatty Wei, and turned to Hou Jun and said: "Squad leader, this task is not easy. It is very close to actual combat. This is equivalent to going deep behind enemy lines. You are not familiar with the situation and the terrain. There is no
For backup, you can only rely on yourself."
Hou Jun said: "That's why I let everyone take a look and discuss it."
After the briefings were all handed out, the more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that what Hou Jun said made sense. How to fight?
It's easy to break in, it's easy to make a surprise attack, and it's also possible to save people. The opponent only has one platoon, but the problem is how to escape.
In special operations missions, escape is always the most important part.
In history, many squads often fell into this last stage.
Now the situation is very clear. In order to increase the difficulty and get closer to actual combat, two mountain infantry battalions were actually transferred from where they were stationed to act as imaginary enemies.
The soldiers of the mountain brigade are different from ordinary armies on the ground. They have lightweight equipment and special operations training. Just like the marine brigades of the Navy, each has its own specialization and strengths. The jungle is their home and the mountains are theirs.
Home field.
These guys are stationed at altitudes as high as two to three thousand meters all year round, so they are extremely adaptable to the mountain environment here.
Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, they train in the mountains and forests every day. All subjects are conducted in the mountains. The equipment is lighter and the personnel are more elite. The quality of the personnel is no worse than that of the scouts.
Although these mountain brigades are still called infantry, they are stationed and trained in highland mountains and jungles all year round. Each of them can run better than wolves, climb better than monkeys, and drill better than mice. In addition, they have the advantage of military strength, so they can round up these brigades.
Lao Te Lai also forced Duo Duo and his teammates to use all their strength, and accidentally got surrounded and fell into the siege.
Province Y belongs to the subtropical primeval jungle. Sufficient rain and climate make the vegetation there dense. Most of the jungle is inaccessible. The trees, shrubs and thatch weeds growing here block the sky and the sun. The ground is covered with rotten plants and leaves deposited over the years.
It feels soft when you step on it, but there are pits and mire in some places. The dead branches and leaves cover it and it looks normal. If you step on it, you will immediately fall into it. It is a natural trap.
The miasma that permeates the woods is even more unavoidable. It can make people feel tight in the chest, short of breath, dizzy and swollen. Coupled with the high altitude, people's physical strength is greatly reduced.
In addition, various types of poisonous insects, ants, locusts, and poisonous snakes are rampant everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be bitten, ranging from itching all over the body to life-threatening.
There are even worse places.
For special forces, not only are their individual soldier quality and combination tactics superior to ordinary troops, but they also require the most advanced and excellent equipment. However, in mountains and primitive jungles, many advanced equipment are at a loss here.
Crabs can't play their due role at all.
For example, communication equipment. Normally, you can use satellites to achieve full coverage. You can contact your teammates wherever you are and receive intelligence support from the support team. But here, even satellite signals are blocked by terrain and woods, and the signal often fails to connect.
Satellite trouble.
Sometimes in order to find a signal, it is even necessary to set up a simple antenna, climb to the highest part of the tree, and place the antenna on top to find the signal.
However, doing so will lead to another fatal problem. It is easy to reveal one's position. Originally, it was fine to hide in the tree, but climbing to the top of the tree is as obvious as a lice on a bald man's head.
Such a special environment is no stranger to Lao Te. Every special operations unit must search for various harsh environments across the country for short-term training in order to become familiar with various complex terrains and conditions.
The problem now is that the squadron is just a small unit from the newly reorganized special operations brigade less than a year ago. When it comes to experience, cooperation, and tactics, it is really difficult.
Even Lao Hou, the old squad leader, was no more than a head or two older at this time, and he didn't have much confidence.
Everyone discussed it for a full twenty minutes. Lao Hou looked at his watch several times, feeling anxious.
Don't dare to act rashly without discussing a good plan.
Action without a plan is not action, it is just randomness.
Li Zheng didn't say much. He took the mission briefing and read it over and over again.
When he arrived, he suddenly asked a confused question: "Old squad leader, you said our goal is to save people, what is the mission of other squads in our company?"
Hou Jun was stunned, thought for a while, and felt that he couldn't answer.
He said with some annoyance: "I told you, Li Zheng, you are so anxious. We haven't even discussed our own affairs yet. Why do you care about others?"
Li Zheng frowned. He knew that Hou Jun didn't understand what he meant, so he said again and again: "I mean, do you think other classes..."
