Chapter 88: Quick plan

Alberta stood up and said, "Although this mission sounds simple, there are many dangerous unknown factors. So take a good look at this mission briefing and hold a meeting of captains in the afternoon to come up with plans for each team. In one day After that, we will determine two combat plans, one for execution and one for preparation. This operation is under the overall command of Danny. After two days, we will set off."
After the mission release meeting, members of the UFO team gathered together to discuss the battle plan carefully. Zhao Jianfei bit the cigar in his mouth and took the task briefing on the table. "The first mission of the African Division, what do you think?"
Ivan shook his head, "I have no opinion, I'm only responsible for execution." Yelena trimmed her nails with a nail clipper, without speaking. Lin Rui and others did not speak either. Zhao Jianfei frowned slightly and turned to Jiang Andao, "Actuarial, what do you think?"
"Information is incomplete, and many things cannot be judged. For example, are there any ambush points that must be guarded on the road from the outside to the valley? And the other party's personnel and equipment intelligence is incomplete." , Frowned, "There is also a brief introduction about the background of General Dunby. We only know that he and his men are a group of rebels, but we don't know whether he is a senior warlord or whether he has just risen. Militia."
"Those warlords and militia are not much different." Qin Fen said with a smile.
"The difference is very big. If it is an old warlord, it will be more difficult to deal with. Because they are usually veteran soldiers. Many people in their thirties have nearly 20 years of combat experience and cunning. If a group has just picked up Militia with guns, to be honest, there is not much combat effectiveness." Jiang An said.
"Twenty years of fighting in their thirties? Are you kidding me? Did they join the army when they were in their teens?" Qin Fen couldn't help asking.
Jiang Jian nodded, "Yes. At present, in many countries in Africa, 7 government forces and more than 50 armed groups are still recruiting and using child soldiers. The youngest are even under ten. In addition, some Extremist groups are armed, and child soldiers are commonly used in conflicts. Africa is the hardest hit area for the phenomenon of child soldiers. In addition to carrying out front-line combat tasks, these child soldiers are also engaged in mine clearance, spying on military intelligence transport and ammunition, and guarding oil fields and fields controlled by armed forces. Diamond mining areas and other jobs. Anyway, they do everything that adults can do."
Qin Fen was stunned, and muttered, "Is this...Is there such a thing?"
"That's the truth. This is also the ugliest aspect of war." Jiang An sighed.
In fact, Jiangan is right. Africa is indeed an area where child soldiers are flooded. There are many reasons why the phenomenon of child soldiers in Africa has been repeatedly banned, among which poverty is the primary factor. Most of the children forced to serve as soldiers are poor children from rural areas. Sometimes, taking up a weapon is the easiest way for these hungry children to continue their lives. A rifle means the only chance of survival.
For many armed groups, children are cheap war machines, and they can be satisfied with a little drug or alcohol. In addition, the illegal circulation of light weapons that are small in size, light in weight, easy to operate, and cheap in price have created conditions for the dolls to become soldiers.
In addition, because children are physically vulnerable and vulnerable to threats psychologically, the armed forces of some African countries have seized this feature to induce or coerce children to carry guns and fight for them by reason of ethnic religion or ideology. They were trained into highly obedient soldiers, and some children, especially boys with primitive violent impulses, were even completely brainwashed and became cold-blooded killers under the influence of cruel wars.
Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "During the war, the death rate of these child soldiers is extremely high. But those who survived are all dangerous elements."
"This is exactly what I am worried about." Jiang An said slowly, "The area we are going to take is a diamond mining area. According to my judgment, there are a lot of labor and underage child labor in addition to the rebels. Once the fight starts, these people will take guns to fight at any time. That’s why I said that the enemy’s number is not easy to judge."
"Then we will use the method of surprise attack, by quickly interspersing, to isolate the rebels' entrenchment and the mining area." Lin Rui pointed to the area on the map and frowned,'This has two advantages. One is to avoid it. The rebels received more troops from the mining area. The second was to encircle the rebels' command center to attract scattered rebels. Eliminate one by one. "
Jiang An nodded, "I had the same idea at first, but it will be very difficult to actually operate it. It must be a reset card to the town where the rebels are stationed. And their road to the mining area is much closer than us. Also. This means that even if we go all the way without stopping, it will be too late when we get there."
Zhao Jianfei said indifferently, "This is only a superficial problem. You must know that once a large number of workers and children in the mining area will be driven to fight us, it means that it will be a massacre. And it is inevitable. Because you don't kill them, they Will kill you. In the end, all guilt will point to Morningstar. The notorious military security company massacred innocent civilians and children in a military operation. This is probably the deeper reason."
Lin Rui frowned and said, "You mean, this operation is probably a trap?"
"I dare not say if it is a trap, but if this matter is not handled properly, such consequences are likely to occur. Most private military security companies have a bad reputation, especially involving the killing of civilians. Even the famous. The Heishui security company in China was also revoked because of such incidents and was forced to change its name.
Jiang An said slowly,
If someone wants to deal with Morningstar, this will be a good opportunity. It’s even better than attacking the station. And assassination of Alberta are more effective."
"So this is not only a trap, but it's probably related to the mysterious attackers?" Qin Fen was taken aback, "Then should we report this to the company branch?"
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "What we can think of, those in the African branch can also think of it. Haven't you noticed? Just now Alberta and Danny have deliberately emphasized that we must pay attention to reducing unnecessary killings. It shows that they already knew it well and realized this."
"But it's too difficult. How can we tell if it is a rebel? There is no writing on the other side's face, besides, their faces are so dark that they can't see clearly even if they write." Qin Fen cried out.
"It's impossible to avoid accidental injury. Besides, this situation is not considered accidental injury. The militants can shoot you as well. Whether he is a rebel or a miner, or even a child. They can still kill you with one shot." Ivan shook his head.
"It is impossible to achieve absolutely no accidental injury, but we must reduce this situation to the lowest point to avoid unfavorable public opinion." Zhao Jianfei calmly said, "This is the reason why we have to formulate a combat plan."
Lin Rui looked at the satellite map and frowned, "From the map, the mountain town where the rebels are stationed is very close to the diamond mining area, less than two kilometers away, and there is only one road in and out. This means that we There is no way to rescue the workers and children before dealing with the rebels."
"Yes, because most of the workers were forcibly captured. In order to prevent possible escape, the rebels placed their garrison on the only way out of the mining area. There are mountains on three sides, and there is only one way in and out. Rebels The camp is outside the mining area, which makes us to go to the mining area, we must first pass the rebel camp. This is the problem we have to face." Jiang An said slowly.
"The terrain of this place is indeed dangerous. No wonder the government has not attacked it several times." Lin Rui frowned and thought about it. "And if we attack there, the other party will have plenty of time to react. Let alone the road ahead. Now, there is almost certainly an opponent’s outpost in the dense forest. I’m thinking that since these rebels cannot be taken down quickly, but also to prevent the rebels from using the miners against us. Then can we change the way, such as cutting off these rebels and Connection between mining areas."
"How to do it?" Jiang An looked at him, "I want to hear your opinion."
Lin Rui pointed to the map and said, "We can't reach the mining area by bypassing the small town entrenched by the rebels, but it doesn't mean that we can't completely block off this road. From here, here and here, there are several places. Being able to block this area directly with firepower is equivalent to completely blocking the road from the town to the mining area. If we can reach these locations fast enough, we can completely block the road to the mining area by the rebels. ."
"The firepower is blocked. It's like the last training session." Qin Fen looked at Zhao Jianfei in surprise.
Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "This is a good idea. If we can cooperate with other teams. We can not only block the connection between the rebels and the mining area, but also complete the encirclement of the rebel town in advance."
"However, the requirements for this front-run team are very high. If it is inappropriate to be able to quickly pass through the dense forest at the bottom of the valley, it must also change direction halfway and enter these areas in advance. Before the battle has officially started, complete the small battle against the mining area and the rebels. The blockade of roads between towns. Among them, high-speed marching after a quick breakthrough is the difficulty, and fast maneuvering is also the most critical part of the entire operation." Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, but we can do it." Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "I don't know how the other teams are, but I know we can do this." Lin Rui, Iwan and others nodded, and several people Get together to discuss more detailed planning steps.
