Chapter 18: Backup plan

Zhao Jianfei looked at Lin Rui and said solemnly, "Tell me about your plan. Novel"
"It's my plan, it's better to say it's a plan inspired by you." Lin Rui flipped through the map and said, "According to our current thinking, a small team must sneak into this fortress first. Then the route of infiltration is a problem. Until I noticed that there is such a drawing in your briefing." He pushed the combat briefing in his hand to Zhao Jianfei.
"This is the architectural drawing of that military fortress." Zhao Jianfei frowned. "This military fortress is similar to the base we are currently in. It is a product of the late Cold War. So it is not difficult to find detailed architectural drawings. However, this Is there anything special?"
"Yes." Lin Rui pointed to several lines on the map slowly and tunneled, "This is a schematic diagram of an underground pipeline. Since this military fortress is in a mountain col, it is backed by mountains on both sides, so drainage facilities are inevitable. And the Soviet era. Military buildings, similar to their weapons and equipment, are all in the same style, stupid and clumsy, but sturdy and durable. This drainage facility can be our first choice for infiltration."
"Drainage facilities?" Tang Kun frowned. "This drainage pipe leads directly to the river outside the fortress. Do you want to dive in through that river. Then you can sneak into the fortress directly from this pipe?"
"Yes." Lin Rui nodded, "but this pipeline must have multiple iron fences and other protective measures. However, we can carry oxygen and small underwater cutting equipment, these things can not be a real obstacle. Once we enter Inside the fortress, we will try to clear the defensive force on the front of the fortress and clear the obstacles for the entry of the subsequent team. If all goes well, we will rendezvous with other teams to complete the invasion. But if there is an accident and we are exposed, then The situation will completely change."
Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "This is exactly what I am worried about. Once the fifth team infiltrated is exposed, then it means that the entire plan will change from a secret infiltration to a frontal attack. The chance of success of the mission will be greatly reduced, even if we attack. The main entrance of the fortress will also have to pay a great price."
"Yes, and to avoid this result is the way I said. Once exposed, we will give up the opportunity to meet with other teams, take advantage of the chaos to invade the base, and implement the decapitation plan with Gross himself as the target." Lin Rui calmly typical.
"This is very difficult. First of all, if you are exposed, it will inevitably arouse the alert of the Gross mercenary team. Under heavy siege, even if you want to get out of it, it is very difficult. Second, Gross's mercenary team is very experienced. Well equipped, the chance of killing Gross under heavy guards is not great." Tang Kun frowned.
"I understand." Zhao Jianfei nodded suddenly, "Lin Rui meant that once his team is exposed, he will need our support."
"Yes. Once we are exposed. My squad will try to get out of the battle quickly, and at the same time I need you to pretend to attack the front of the military fortress. Try to attract the attention of the other party as much as possible so that we have enough opportunity to penetrate the fortress. "Lin Rui said slowly, "From this architectural drawing, the distance between the main entrance of the fortress and the barracks inside is nearly 20 meters, and it cannot be seen because of the building. In other words, since we were found to the brigade servants There should be a time difference when the soldiers arrive. If we can clear out the people who find us before the team of mercenaries arrive, we can get out of the entanglement and enter the fortress in chaos."
"This requires a good understanding and high efficiency of action." Tang Kun frowned.
"I think his idea is worth a try. Of course, if they don't expose it, it is the best result. Once exposed, if we cause some trouble on the periphery, it will be enough to attract Gross. He shouldn't Thinking that these newcomers could have such courage, it counted on him." Zhao Jianfei slowly said.
"No!" Tang Kun shook his head, "This matter is too difficult and too many variables."
"But this may fundamentally reverse the situation." Zhao Jianfei said sternly, "Our people are well trained, but they have no experience. To confront Gross and the others, they are still not enough. You don't know this. Lin Rui's backup plan, although dangerous, is easy to win by surprise. Moreover, once he succeeds, he will completely win the actual confrontation."
Tang Kun's face changed, looking at Zhao Jianfei in a low voice, "You come out with me."
Zhao Jianfei followed Tang Kun to the tactical training room. Tang Kun stood still and said lightly, "Do you know what I think about this plan?"
"Do you have a better idea?" Zhao Jianfei said solemnly.
"I don't have one, but I know that you don't really agree with Lin Rui's slightly naive plan. You just want Gross to die. As long as you can get rid of him, you will agree with any plan." Tang Kun said sharply, "Although I don’t want to say that, but this time you’ve done it a bit too much. Even if they sneak into the fortress and successfully implement the beheading of Gross. But have you ever thought about it, if they go deep into the base, the whole team will be lost Chance of survival."
"Are you teaching me what kindness is? A Kun, don't forget that this is a war, and they are all warriors, blood and sacrifice are inevitable." Zhao Jianfei said sternly, "What's more, it must be under any circumstances. Stick to the principle of task first. This is the iron law of mercenaries."
"The fifth team, including Lin Rui, is the team most favored by Mr. Mi. They may go further, rather than die in such a meaningless assessment." Tang Kun said sharply, "Even if You don’t have the right to decide their life or death, don’t forget, this time I’m the operation commander. You just provide information outside the battlefield."
"Damn it, this is indeed a risky plan, but it doesn't mean that we have no chance of winning. And as you know, this assessment is inevitable. And it is as important as any real battlefield mission. Something. Sacrifice is inevitable." Zhao Jianfei shouted angrily.
"I do not reject reasonable casualties on the battlefield, but this plan is to use the lives of five members of a squad to do a meaningless gamble." Tang Kun shook his head.
"But Lin Rui proposed it by himself, and it was not what I said." Zhao Jianfei shrugged. "Since he said so, I believe he can do it again. This is a capable person and calm enough. He said these words without consideration. I believe that this is his proposal after analyzing all the circumstances."
Tang Kun nodded, "Yes, as a rookie, his thinking with such a vision is really good, but he is still short of fire."
"That's why you must lead the team." Zhao Jianfei said to Tang Kun, "You lead the team, and I provide you with remote information guidance. It is enough to make the energy of these newcomers fully utilized. Tang Kun, you know, We can't afford to lose in this actual combat. So I won't let personal reasons occupy my mind. All tasks come first. I can assure you."
"Tang Kun, you should believe him." Some Michelle of the Silver Wolf elegant name came from behind, and he patted Tang Kun on the shoulder, "not only believe him, but also believe in newcomers like Lin Rui. This time it is The company’s board of directors initiated a test of our capabilities. You understand what it means. If they are not given sufficient deterrence, this situation will continue to happen, and eventually our influence in Morningstar will be minimized." Xell said indifferently.
"Rather than waiting to die, it is better to fight back." Zhao Jianfei said solemnly.
Tang Kun finally nodded, "Mr. Mi, don't worry, I will take this rookie team well. And bring them back as complete as possible. But I still oppose all adventurous suicide missions. If it is not a last resort, I will not agree. My team did this."
"Of course, you are the commander of this operation. You have the right to decide to do what you think is right. Maybe your style is different from Zhao Jianfei, but I have never doubted your ability." Michelle smiled slightly. "Okay, go in. Those newcomers are still waiting for you, and you still have a lot to teach them."
Tang Kun nodded to Michel and Zhao Jianfei, then turned back to the tactical training room.
Zhao Jianfei just wanted to follow him in, but Michelle Silver Wolf said indifferently, "Jianfei, I have a few words to tell you."
"Mr. Mi, if it is about Gross, I don't want to discuss it." Zhao Jianfei stopped.
"Actually, it has nothing to do with Gross." Michelle calmly said, "I want to talk to you about Lin Rui."
Zhao Jianfei turned his head unexpectedly, "It's him...what's the matter?"
"I need him to live." Michelle said lightly, "This is a very special young man. I believe that if he lives, it will be of great help to our cause."
Zhao Jianfei thought for a while and said, "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to take care of him during the action, at least don't let him die." Michel turned around and said, "This time the actual confrontation with the Gross Mercenary Team is not even the beginning. Lin Rui and One day you will become a force that can truly turn the tide on the battlefield. I want you to make sure that he will not die before then."
Zhao Jianfei frowned and said, "Mr. Mi, I have not always understood why you care about this young man so much. He has neither a special background nor anything special. Why do you care about him so much?"
Mr. Mi smiled and said, "There is nothing special, but it is also a special kind. Also, I never judge people by their appearance, but based on their personality traits. I dare to conclude that Lin Rui has the potential to become the best mercenary. He is a People worthy of our efforts to train."
