Chapter 201: The Choice
Using the civilian band carries a very high risk of exposure, and compared to the military, civilian ones do not use encryption methods.
As long as it’s tuned to the specific waveband, anyone can receive the telegram that B Group sends to Wolf Den.
However, what they are doing is under the lamp, it’s dark; generally very few people would realize they are using the civilian band.
Even if it’s received by others, there’s no need to worry; B Group would not possibly send in plaintext.
“Any news on Lone Wolf?”
In a military tent somewhere in the mountain forest, He Zhijun sat on a chair, using the light to sort through the intelligence in his hand.
From his occasional inquiries about Lone Wolf’s news, it was clear that his heart was not as calm as his surface appearance.
“Nothing for now.” The communicator said.
He Zhijun: “Keep paying attention.”
Communicator: “Yes.”
No news is good news.
He Zhijun thought to himself.
After Xiao Gao took Lone Wolf to carry out the infiltration mission, the entire assault team entered radio silence.
If Lone Wolf was eliminated by Lei Keming, there would definitely be some movement on the Blue Team side.
He was strictly monitoring the Blue Team’s radio stations here, so it was impossible not to receive any news at all.
“Report, received news from Lone Wolf!”
The communicator’s words instantly put He Zhijun on edge.
It couldn’t be that they fell for Lei Keming’s trap and got completely wiped out, right?
“Bring it here.”
He Zhijun himself hadn’t noticed that his tone was a bit quicker than usual.
Looking at the intelligence in his hand, He Zhijun’s tightly furrowed brows unknowingly relaxed.
“Send a telegram to B Group, say that they are allowed free action, and also send them a copy of the intelligence we’ve scouted.
Finally, tell them to be extremely careful!”
After saying these words, He Zhijun suddenly felt his mind extremely clear, and even for some deployments against the Blue Team, his brilliant ideas were surging out like a spring.
“Wolf Den replied!” Geng Jihui, who had been sitting unmoving by the radio, excitedly said to his comrades as soon as he heard He Da Dui reply to them.
No matter what Wolf Head told them, it was good news for B Group.
With Wolf Head’s endorsement, all their actions would have no reservations.
Even if Wolf Head told them to continue lurking, everyone in B Group would willingly comply.
It was better than them fearing that random actions would cause immeasurable impact on the front lines.
“What did Wolf Head say?”
Chang Ning observed outside through the gap in the curtains; he didn’t turn his head when speaking.
“Wait a moment.”
Tearing a sheet from the notebook on the table, Geng Jihui began to write down Wolf Head’s orders to them using Wolf Fang’s secret language.
This writing took up a full three pages, with the intelligence section occupying two-thirds.
“Everyone circulate it and remember to destroy it after.” Geng Jihui instructed.
“Alright, got it!
We’re not new recruits!”
Ostrich, standing nearby, impatiently took all the pages full of intelligence from Geng Jihui’s hand.
Looking at Ostrich, Geng Jihui hesitated a few times but ultimately didn’t say the reprimand.
That guy Ostrich purely forgets lessons learned; saying anything wouldn’t help, he’d do it again next time.
“Good grief, why is there a whole string of coordinates?”
The last page was full of coordinates, all important Blue Team firepower nodes and logistics transfer stations scouted by Red Team’s reconnaissance unit.
To obtain this intelligence, Red Team’s reconnaissance unit was almost entirely eliminated by the combat squad brought by Lei Keming and Blue Team’s Night Tiger Reconnaissance.
One of them, a company, was directly wiped out in its unit structure by Blue Team’s artillery, with not a single survivor left.
“Looking at this, Ostrich really has small brain capacity.” The medic opened the map they brought when leaving and spread it on the table.
“Hey! I’m not sacrificing myself to set off your intelligence? This is called promoting the spirit of humility and self-sacrifice.”
Ostrich, put on the spot by the medic, shamelessly quibbled.
“Alright, alright.
Say less, we’re still behind enemy lines; do we have to be so arrogant?”
Looking at the quiet building area, Chang Ning put down the curtain, walked to Geng Jihui’s side, and began marking the positions on the map against the coordinates.
“I’ve marked all the coordinates from the intelligence Wolf Head gave us. How should we act next?”
After Chang Ning raised the question, everyone first pondered the positions marked with red marker on the map for a moment, then looked up at Geng Jihui.
“Hey, why are you all looking at me?
If you have ideas, let’s discuss them together.”
The distances between the positions marked by Chang Ning on the map were all different; some far, some near.
They were just afraid of pulling one hair and affecting the whole body; after knocking out one target, the other positions might shift.
That’s right, what Geng Jihui was thinking was how to safely take out the Blue Team deployments marked on the map without harm.
“The distances between places are different; if we hit them one by one, not to mention the Blue Team’s reactions after noticing, just the running would exhaust us.” Lao Pao rubbed his chin and said slowly.
“Moreover, the Blue Team won’t let us act freely; once we hit any one spot, we’ll face Blue Team’s encirclement and suppression.
In the city we have nowhere to hide, in the jungle Blue Team’s scouts and Lei Keming’s troops are no pushovers.” Qiang Zi supplemented.
“Don’t forget, Lei Keming’s troops are also experts in special operations, not necessarily worse than us.
Once bitten, we’ll definitely take losses.”
The medic also put away his joking expression and looked at his comrades very seriously.
“The situation is already clear; since we can’t do them together, we can only divide troops.”
This decision was extremely bold; if acting in pairs or singly, once discovered, there would be no chance of escape.
“My suggestion carries huge risk; if you have ideas, speak up, and we’ll think of a way.” Geng Jihui said.
Though he was B Group’s team leader, when formulating action plans, he never dictated but highly valued his comrades’ ideas.
“Only hitting one place gives a very high chance of success, and we can withdraw calmly.
Acting separately, we have a chance to take out all these firepower deployments and logistics transfer stations on the map, the downside is we might all be wiped out.
The pros and cons of both plans are very obvious.
This time, I choose to divide troops; we’ll take all these places!”
After analyzing the pros and cons of both plans, Chang Ning made his choice; his appetite was always big.
Moreover, he didn’t believe B Group would be completely wiped out; setting aside the original plot, tactically there was also room to operate.
Neither Blue Team nor Red Team would expect Lone Wolf B Group to be bold enough to use two people to take out forces on the map that were at least brigade-level units.
Saying “take out” here isn’t quite right; it should be “decapitation operation”.
This was their specialty.
“Let’s try it; if we’re gone, Wild Wolf and them will back us up.
What are we afraid of?
Do it!”
Xiao Zhuang felt like there was a flame burning fiercely in his heart.
