The instructor nodded, "Didn't you say at that time that those thirty special forces troops were hiding together with the remaining troops of the Sixth Special Operations Company and would wait for an opportunity to attack the Fifth Battalion?"
Lin Yi looked at the instructor, "Has the Fifth Battalion been attacked since last night?"
The instructor was unclear, but the chief of staff was very clear, "No, our department has not received any news that the 5th and 6th Battalions were attacked."
Lin Yi nodded, "That's right, I've been wondering since last night why the special forces didn't confront us head-on, but instead hid, just to wait for us to leave and attack the fifth battalion?"
Now it seems that their target is not the fifth battalion at all. The five battalions are full of 200 people. They don't like it at all. Their target must be our third and fourth battalions."
This statement made the instructor more and more confused, "But our battalion's security work is very good. I am almost 100% sure that there are absolutely no special forces infiltrating into our third battalion."
Lin Yi shook his head, "Special forces do not just rely on infiltration to fight. They understand that to use a small means to make a big difference, they need to use everything they can. As the temperature rises, the water flow increases. This is what they can use.
Chief of Staff, find all the reservoirs, wild ponds, and water sources within 20 kilometers of our marching route. They must be hiding in these places."
The chief of staff immediately began to inquire, and soon the data came out, "Deputy battalion commander, we will pass four reservoirs along the way, one of which is a large reservoir. Although it is currently in the dry season, as the temperature warms up, the water capacity of the reservoir will increase
, once the reservoir releases flood, it will flood a large area, and this area is where we must pass."
When the instructor heard this, his heart suddenly jumped, "Then can we speed through this area?"
The chief of staff looked at the team that was constantly stuck in the mud and found it difficult to ensure smooth passage. "At the moment, the pressure is a bit high."
"What about at night?", the instructor hurriedly asked: "The temperature will be below zero at night. Doesn't the water freeze at this time? Can we pass?"
Lin Yi shook his head. If the air reaches zero, the water will freeze. There is so much water in the reservoir that freezing is impossible.
And what I am most afraid of now is the night. The temperature is low at night. Once a flood occurs, even if the flood cannot wash us away, in such a cold time period, the soldiers will definitely be frozen to the point of losing their combat effectiveness, and the vehicles will also be frozen to the point that they cannot function properly.
By then, they won't need to fight us at all and will be able to eliminate us.
Lin Yi is now the absolute backbone of the third battalion. Even he is a little worried now, and the instructor is even more confused, "Then what should we do?"
Lin Yi looked at the location of the large reservoir on the map, and a smile gradually appeared on his serious face. "This reservoir can be ignored directly. It is impossible for the special forces to blow up this reservoir."
The chief of staff looked surprised, "Why?"
Lin Yi pointed to the armed police force next to the reservoir. Reservoirs are key facilities. The larger the reservoir, the more so. Such large reservoirs must have defense forces, and it is impossible for the local armed police force to allow special forces to blow up this place. This involves
When it comes to the relationship between the place and the troops, the special forces will inevitably abandon this place for various reasons.
And the bigger the reservoir, the less likely it is to be blown up. The special forces are just carrying some explosive bags on their backs. Even the weakest points are not something they can blow up.
And we have not yet discovered that special forces can call for missile attacks, so this large reservoir can be omitted directly.
When the instructor heard the news, he quickly asked: "What about medium-sized reservoirs and small reservoirs, or some water sources? Chief of Staff, please study it carefully to see if there are any obstacles to us."
The chief of staff immediately made calculations and then said: "Once the medium-sized reservoir located here is bombed, it will affect us, but the impact will be limited. According to calculations, once the reservoir explodes, the impact on the Fourth Battalion will be much higher than ours
.”
Lin Yi slapped the table and said, "That's right. Their goal is to completely eliminate the fourth battalion and then concentrate their manpower to deal with us. After all, we have no enemies to restrain us on the periphery, and our marching speed is too fast. Even if it is delayed by the flood, it will be sooner or later that we break free."
The fourth battalion is different. They are blocked and have to move very hard. Every kilometer they advance has to pay a heavy price. Once they are dragged down by the flood, there will definitely be no hope. "
The chief of staff quickly asked: "Then are we going to help? But that medium-sized reservoir is too big. If we touch it one by one, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to sneak attacks. It is really thankless."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "We can't go to the reservoir. Our third battalion must preserve its strength. The location of the reservoir is basically located on a steep slope, which is not conducive to the deployment of mechanized troops, but is more conducive to attacks by special forces and special operations companies.
We can't attack with a short attack, and we will only get beaten if we go there. But instead of going to the reservoir, we have to disgust them. We ordered the engineering detachment to plant mines at the intersection of the reservoir. Once the reservoir explodes, we will encircle and suppress them.
The battalion's third and fourth special operations companies will inevitably retreat from here, so we have to make them pay a price."
The instructor quickly stopped, "But in this case, we will definitely anger them, and they will definitely launch a crazy attack on us."
Lin Yi looked at the instructor, "Even if we don't hate them, won't they attack us? Our third battalion has eliminated almost three-quarters of the troops of the first special operations battalion. They already hate us to the core. So
If we don't consume more of their troops, they will hit us harder.
The essence of war is similar to fighting. As long as you are ruthless and life-threatening enough, they will not dare to be ruthless with you. Only by frightening them can we achieve temporary peace."
The chief of staff nodded and said: "The deputy battalion commander is right. Only by making them afraid will they get along well with you. This is the essence of war."
The instructor breathed out, "Okay, let the equipment section send all the mines to the engineering unit. Since we need to lay them, let's lay more."
The chief of staff did not expect that the instructor would change his mind so quickly, and he was convinced. At this time, he looked at Lin Yi and said, "Deputy battalion commander, should we remind the fourth battalion to pay attention to flood prevention?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Reminders need to be reminded, but they cannot be reminded directly. After all, the fourth battalion headquarters is already very busy. It is not good for us to disturb their minds. Besides, bombing the reservoir is just our unilateral idea. The special forces
They may not be able to do it. If they don’t blow up, wouldn’t it make the Fourth Battalion suffer even more?”
