The chief of staff nodded in agreement, "I will try my best to convey the message tactfully."
The news quickly reached the headquarters of the fourth battalion. The chief of staff of the fourth battalion analyzed how serious the consequences would be if the reservoir was bombed, so he quickly informed the fourth battalion commander.
The commander of the fourth battalion just heard the news, but the third battalion said that the news had not been verified yet, so it was not accurate, it was just a possibility.
As the battalion-level commander, he must make overall considerations. It's not that he doesn't believe it, but he doesn't want to believe it.
If you ask the Fourth Battalion to send troops to verify this news now, it is obviously impossible. There are so many special forces in the periphery, and your own reconnaissance company cannot run too far away from you. If you do, you will die.
But if we don't go, if something goes wrong with the reservoir, our way forward will be blocked. In this climate, being trapped in the mud, he knows what the consequences will be without even thinking about it.
The chief of staff saw that the fourth battalion commander had not spoken for a long time, and knew that he could not make up his mind. However, on the battlefield, people would rather trust something than something they don't have. If he did not prepare in advance, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
"Battal Commander, why don't we change the route? It's still too late to change the route, but we don't know if the director team will judge us as violating the rules. They said we can't deviate from the planned route for a long time, but they didn't specify how much time it would take. We have this gap.
I don’t know if I can drill it.”
The fourth battalion commander shook his head, "It's best not to take advantage of this loophole. If the director team determines that we are out of the game, then we have spent so many days in vain. Send a message to the third battalion and ask the third battalion to send troops to investigate the situation of the reservoir."
The chief of staff did not dare to neglect and immediately informed the third battalion of the fourth battalion commander's attitude.
After receiving the news, the correspondent of the third battalion immediately reported it.
After hearing this, the Chief of Staff of the Third Battalion laughed helplessly, "Deputy Battalion Commander, it seems that the Fourth Battalion is really in trouble. Even the accuracy of the news has to be verified by others. What should we do?"
Lin Yi shrugged, "What should we do? Let's do it cold. Our battalion will quickly pass through that area first to ensure that we don't have any problems. We will help others if they can. If we can't, there is nothing we can do. We also discussed just now that the reservoir area
The terrain is steep, which is very unfavorable for the deployment of mechanized troops. It is impossible for us to send troops there to verify this news.
Taking a step back, if you can't verify the news, then just avoid this area. It's just to see if the fourth battalion commander has the courage. If the fourth battalion commander follows the rules, then all the soldiers in the battalion deserve to be killed.
drag."
The chief of staff also nodded, "Yes, then I will ask the troops to speed up as quickly as possible and try to cross this area before dark."
The troops of the Third Battalion marched very fast and stayed up all night to pass through this area before setting up camp on high ground to rest.
Lin Yi was writing and drawing in his notebook at this time, which made the chief of staff very curious. He handed a bowl of hot noodles to Lin Yi, "Deputy battalion commander, eat something to cushion your bed. What are you doing?"
"
Lin Yi handed the notebook to the deputy battalion commander, picked up the noodles and started slurping them, "See for yourself."
The chief of staff quickly took the book and was a little surprised when he saw the strength comparison inside. "Deputy Battalion Commander, your strength comparison is different from the records of our battalion headquarters."
Lin Yi nodded, "There is a discrepancy. Get me a clove of garlic."
The chief of staff quickly peeled a clove of garlic and handed it over, "Deputy battalion commander, please tell me."
Lin Yi pointed to the casualty ratio in the notebook, "My strength comparison is not the current strength comparison, but the remaining strength comparison after the special operations battalion wiped out the 4th, 56th and 4th battalions. Although I can't guarantee that one person will be right.
, but the difference shouldn’t be too big.”
The chief of staff was surprised to see Lin Yidu prepared for the decisive battle. He quickly looked carefully and couldn't believe it when he saw that there were still two companies in the special operations battalion.
"No, right now, the two special operations companies that are besieging the fourth battalion, even if they don't suffer heavy losses, are at least half casualties. How come when it's our turn to fight them, their special operations companies still have two companies. Not only are they not
Less is more, how is this possible?”
Lin Yi shook his head, "If the reservoir is successfully exploded, the special operations battalion should have two companies of troops, including the remaining troops of the sixth special operations company and the troops directly under the special operations battalion, totaling about 200 people.
"
But in order to eliminate the 456th Battalion, their special forces will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Especially after the squadron leader of the special forces is eliminated by us, problems will inevitably arise in the coordination and scheduling among the special forces.
So I estimate that the number of special forces who will fight us in the final battle will not exceed one detachment, or even more than twenty.
We currently have 500 soldiers in the army, but facing an elite force of 220 people, the pressure is still quite high, so we must find a way to completely eliminate them.
When the chief of staff heard this, he realized that from the beginning of the assessment to the present, Lin Yi and Lin Yi were not thinking about how to win the assessment, but to completely eliminate the special operations battalion and special forces squadron of the assessment team.
No wonder Lin Yi has been emphasizing the importance of keeping his mouth shut and his teeth cold, and has been going around to actively attack the enemy. This pattern is too big.
The chief of staff said at this time: "Deputy Battalion Commander, after the 4th, 5th and 6th Battalions are completely wiped out, the director team will probably judge us to have won. There is no need for us to go up to the pole to eliminate them."
Lin Yi shook his head, "The enemy is the enemy, and there is no assessment. Since they dare to attack us, we must fight back completely against them. Either we lose or they die, it's as simple as that."
After eating the noodles, Lin Yi said to the chief of staff: "Assign a few more people to the cooking team tonight and ask them to make all the flour into steamed buns and rolls, and steam all the rice to make egg fried rice and distribute it to the soldiers. I'm afraid in the next few days
There is no time to cook, they must turn into combatants and enter the battle. From now on, the third battalion will not have so-called logistics troops, they will all be combat troops."
The chief of staff was surprised when he heard Lin Yi issued such an order. Such determination showed how high Lin Yi's fighting determination was. "Yes, I will make arrangements right away. By the way, deputy battalion commander, this kind of
Do you want to discuss the matter with the instructor?"
Lin Yi shook his head, "Just issue the order directly, and I will do the work on the instructor's side."
The reason why there is a top commander in the army is because during a battle, opportunities are fleeting. If an order requires multiple arguments, it will waste the opportunity.
It wasn't that Lin Yi didn't want to discuss it with the instructor, but time just didn't allow it. Once the order was issued, it wasn't too late to slowly explain it to the instructor.
