Chapter 226: Chang Ning’s advice
The plan is gradually being perfected in cooperation with the staff officers, and the details are also made as logical as possible, at least conforming to the Red Team’s logic.
Otherwise, they won’t fool Group B. This Red Team’s Special Forces Team isn’t a program written on the computer that follows their pre-set route.
This idea must not appear in the Blue Team Command. Don’t treat Group B like idiots!
Looking at the freshly made plan in his hand, Commander Wen didn’t find any obvious loopholes, so he handed it to Lei Keming.
“You take a look too, from the perspective of special operations.
In this command post, you are the professional in this area.”
Although he had participated in this plan from beginning to end and naturally knew if there were any issues.
But for safety’s sake, Lei Keming still took the plan and carefully read it through from the beginning.
“It’s already very complete. I didn’t find any loopholes.” Lei Keming handed the plan back to Commander Wen.
“Then send it out.”
With Commander Wen’s order, the plan began to be executed in segments.
The first to move was Black Tiger’s camp. They are the core of the entire plan and need to reach the designated position, which is the “trap,” within the specified time.
Next is the Armored Combined Brigade. Their deployment makes too much noise, so to avoid detection by Red Team reconnaissance, the Armored Brigade needs to go to the outskirts of the trap in batches and carry out concealment tasks.
This phase takes the most effort.
Finally, intelligence is leaked through Black Tiger to lure that Special Forces Team to reconnaissance.
If the plan is successfully implemented, Commander Wen’s minimum gain this time will be annihilating Lone Wolf in one fell swoop.
After Group B, lurking in a certain place in the Jungle, received intelligence from Wolf Den, they were very happy. Because the intelligence they provided was very accurate, the Blue Team’s Army Aviation Formation and airport have been ruled out of the exercise by the Operations Department, and the Red Team’s own losses are much smaller compared to the Blue Team.
This is something worth celebrating. The intelligence came from them, their names are on the merit list—how could they not be happy?
“Shh, something’s up! There’s a situation on the Blue Team side!”
The Medic, wearing headphones, told his comrades to be quiet.
Hearing there’s a situation on the Blue Team side, everyone stayed in place, not even breathing, afraid of missing important intelligence.
The headphones kept transmitting commands from the Blue Team “command post”: “Cobra, this is Tiger Head. Please head to the next mission point immediately, over.”
“Tiger Head, Cobra received, over.”
The Medic took off his headphones: “It’s still the same waveband. Could they not have discovered that communications are being monitored?”
Originally, after Geng Jihui seized the radio, Chang Ning was very vigilant. He hadn’t forgotten that in the original plot, Group A was annihilated by Lei Keming’s design this way.
But the previous Army Aviation intelligence was obtained from the radio, and the Red Team’s feedback was very positive, indicating that the Blue Team hadn’t discovered any issues with their communications.
So when did Lei Keming discover the communications problem?
If this isn’t solved, it will linger in Chang Ning’s mind like a shadow.
Unless he persuades the others to stop monitoring the Blue Team’s radio, which he knows is impossible just by thinking about it. Why would the others give up such an excellent intelligence source, especially after it’s proven reliable?
“Could it be a trap deliberately set by the Blue Team after discovering communications are being monitored?” Chang Ning tried to make everyone more vigilant.
“I think the Blue Team has suffered heavy losses and is trying to turn the tide, no time to check communications.” Ostrich laughed.
The implication: the radio in hand is still highly credible.
After hearing Chang Ning’s concerns, Geng Jihui didn’t jump to conclusions. Objectively speaking, Chang Ning’s concerns were not unfounded.
If he were the Blue Team commander, after losing Army Aviation and the airport, he would definitely check communications, and the Blue Team has veterans like Lei Keming who are very experienced in special operations concepts.
“Don’t forget the Blue Team has Lei Keming. He’s a senior in special operations, very experienced.”
Xiao Zhuang looked at Chang Ning and Geng Jihui: “You two mean the Blue Team is luring us, and it’s a trap set up waiting for us to take the bait?
But what if it’s real?”
Xiao Zhuang’s last sentence shifted the atmosphere. Chang Ning saw everyone’s eyes change to an eager, ready-to-go look.
Honestly, if the situation allowed, he’d give Xiao Zhuang two punches.
He’d finally gotten his comrades vigilant, and this guy ruined it in an instant.
“How about we go take a look?” Qiang Zi licked his lips.
“If it’s really the Blue Team Command, I’d go down with them willingly!” Lao Pao said.
At this point, Chang Ning couldn’t persuade say more, so he looked to Geng Jihui to make the decision.
But seeing Geng Jihui’s expression, Chang Ning felt it was touch and go.
“Shall we go take a look first?”
Sure enough, Geng Jihui wanted to take the risk too.
“No, don’t you think the Blue Team daring to do this means they’re not afraid of us reconnoitering.
They even hope we come. They have the confidence to take us all down!”
Chang Ning was anxious. If he let everyone go on this adventure, they’d all be done for.
But now his teammates seemed more inclined to go check out that so-called Blue Team Command.
Chang Ning understood everyone’s mood. If it’s real, they could end the exercise.
Who could resist such temptation? And on the surface, it seemed highly credible.
If not for the original plot where Dog Head Old Gao and the others in Group A fell for it, waking him up.
Deep down, facing such temptation, Chang Ning felt he would be as unable to resist checking it out as his comrades.
The payoff was just too big!
That’s why Chang Ning tried hard to persuade everyone: pies don’t fall from the sky, but traps do.
Even though the current situation differed from his memory of the plot, Chang Ning would rather waste this opportunity than see everyone eliminated.
As long as the exercise isn’t over, wasting this chance is nothing. With all of Group B in Blue Team’s Territory, opportunities aren’t hard to find.
If everyone gets eliminated, that’s a real heavy loss.
Opportunities aren’t important because seeking them or waiting patiently will always yield some.
If you lose the people but keep the land, you lose both; if you keep the people but lose the land, you keep both in the end.
The situation facing Chang Ning and the others in Group B is remarkably similar to this saying.
“Chang Ning, how about this? Let’s share the situation with Group A and see what they say.”
Seeing Chang Ning had a different view, Geng Jihui came up with a compromise.
Hearing this, Chang Ning thought it might as well be Group B going to check it out.
In the original plot, Group A fell for the ambush after learning about it, leading to total annihilation.
If Group B goes, if it’s really an ambush, he could still escape, avoiding total annihilation.
Chang Ning didn’t stop Geng Jihui from sharing the intelligence with Group A. First, he didn’t want to embarrass Geng Jihui; second, this situation was indeed different from the one in his memory where Group A was wiped out, and Chang Ning still harbored some fluke mentality.
