Chapter 2022: Half a cigarette

Lin Rui walked back and forth, "How many people do you need to cooperate?"
"This arsenal uses old-fashioned door locks, which I can easily open. Infrared and voice-activated alarm devices are installed inside. Give me a few minutes and it is easy to rule out. But I may need someone to help me get explosives, or help me in Be alert outside, the safe way is to give me two people." Sergey replied.
"Very well, Sausage and Chief will follow you. Sausage is an expert in blasting, he is responsible for selecting blasting devices and explosives. Chief, you are responsible for cooperating with the guard." Lin Rui turned to the Chief.
"No problem." The chief nodded.
"The three of you are a team. After entering the base, your mission is the most important. Not only do you need to sneak into the arsenal and get plastic explosives, you must also install part of the explosives in multiple places on the base to confuse the US military. The setup is complete. After that, go to this area and go round with the rest of us!" Lin Rui pointed to the location on the map. "How long do you need?"
"It will take at least an hour and a half to install explosives separately." Sausage thought for a while.
"I will give you another 15 minutes to deal with other possible sudden situations." Lin Rui nodded. "After our turn, by detonating bombs in other places, we distracted the US military's attention. Then we rushed into the No. 6 area. At this time, we will need snipers to clear the guards from the heights. There are three in total, and it must be a minute. Cleared within."
"Snakeeye and I can do it." Yelena nodded.
"Remember, you must never let them sound the alarm, because this will shorten the reaction time of the U.S. military and leave us less time for action." Lin Rui nodded.
"Understand." Snake Eye nodded, and continued to bow his head to organize his weapons.
Lin Rui nodded, "After forcibly entering the sixth area, use emp grenades to destroy the monitoring facilities of the main building. At this stage, we will encounter a certain degree of resistance. The battle must be resolved quickly, but there is no need to worry that they will sound the alarm, because the alarm The facility will be destroyed when the emp grenade is detonated. Crazy Horse, your fire team must cover the blasting team of sausages and make them enter the predetermined location.
Sausage, you have five minutes to create a deep blast and blast through the top of the basement. And immediately use tear gas in the basement area to disintegrate the combat effectiveness of the basement guards so that we can quickly enter the second floor of the basement and carry out rescue operations. I took the rescue team down. The fire team and sniper team must stay outside to deal with unexpected situations at any time. And to accept us, after we succeed, we must evacuate immediately. The entire operation time is expected to be about three hours, but the real rescue time is less than ten minutes after removing the preliminary preparations. After time, the US military will react, and we have nowhere to escape. "
"What if the time?" Crazy Horse looked at Lin Rui.
"If it is time, it is equivalent to announcing that the mission has failed. We must immediately abandon the rescue operation and reduce the loss to a minimum in order to minimize the loss of personnel." Lin Rui said calmly.
"So, what about the evacuation plan?" Snake Eye looked at the map and said, "It must be unrealistic to evacuate according to the same route. After the attack, the entire base will be strengthened and blocked."
Lin Rui nodded, "So we must directly break through from the No. 6 area. Crystal will be prepared to meet nearby. We must cross the border overnight and enter the Czech Republic. Change a new cover in the Czech Republic and leave with a new identity."
"The plan is a bit complicated." Sergey shook his head, "You know, the more complicated the plan, the more accidents will be encountered. Any problem in any link will affect the entire rescue operation. I don't like this."
"I don't like it either. But there is no way." Lin Rui shook his head, "This is already the most feasible plan for us. What we have to face is an entire US military base, with more than 3,000 heavily armed US troops."
"One more thing." Crazy Horse frowned. "Once something happens, the entire base will be under immediate martial law, and they have quick-response forces that can send out armored vehicles and helicopters to block the border. It is difficult for us to get past them."
"Unless they enter the woods in the mountains." Lin Rui added, "As long as they leave the highway, the terrain of the mountains will cause them to lack maneuverability. The tall woods on the eastern border will affect their helicopter reconnaissance, especially at night. Down. Combining the above points, we still have an advantage."
"So, when do you start acting?" Yelena whispered.
"The night after tomorrow, because there will be rain and thunderstorms the day after tomorrow. This will have a better cover for our actions." Lin Rui nodded. "The U.S. security forces will relax in the heavy rain. Although this will make our operations more difficult, it will also be safer."
The members of the team nodded.
After discussing all the plans, Lin Rui sat down in a corner of the warehouse and leaned against the wall tiredly.
Crazy Horse walked up to him and handed him a cigarette. Lin Rui nodded, took a sip, then looked at him and said, "How do you feel?"
"It's not so good, it's the same." Crazy Horse shrugged. "I heard that before each action, you smoke half a cigarette, and then wait until the end of the task to smoke the rest, in order to get a good omen of the beginning and the end? "
"Tradition of Victory Cigar?" Lin Rui also smiled.
"But, do you really find it useful?" Crazy Horse looked at him.
Lin Rui shrugged, "We Chinese have a saying, "Believe you, you have nothing. If you don't believe it, you don't." It means that no matter what, you have to believe in its existence. Only then can it be realized. If you don’t believe it yourself, How can it be successful?"
"It makes sense." Crazy Horse nodded, "Unfortunately, as mercenaries, no matter how good our technology is, we still can't completely grasp our own destiny. Nor can we be sure that we will survive, just like guns. We are actually It's the same." There was a faint trace of regret on his face, and it was obvious that he still had a grudge about the death of the gun.
"You think too much. Sometimes the more you think, the more sad you will be." Lin Rui took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder. "Forgetting is good medicine, so mankind can survive till now."
"I can't forget. And I believe you can't forget either." Crazy Horse gave a wry smile. "To be honest, I have encountered similar situations before, and there are always comrades who die by my side, but they have never been so touched. It is said that people will become vulnerable when they get old, and maybe I will also start to grow old. After my contract expired in 2016, I was going to leave."
Lin Rui nodded, "So it's better to live well, so that I can retreat all over my body in the future."
