Chapter 75 Plan Changed
Chapter 75 Plan Changed
"Iron Eagle" stared at the screen: "All targets cleared. Well done."
Gray Wolf waved his hand: "Advance."
[Kill 1 enemy soldier, reward 100 points!]
[Killed 1 enemy military dog, reward 100 points!]
Hearing this, Lu Ye was stunned. "Holy crap! Military dogs can count for 100 points?"
For the first time, he felt the system's kindness.
While he was still in a daze, the female officer patted him on the shoulder from behind, signaling him to hurry up and catch up!
Lu Ye quickly slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder and caught up with the team; he couldn't afford to be distracted now.
Like ghosts, the nine men quickly took over the watchtower on the cliff and dragged the body into the shadows.
Standing here, you can see the entire village of Socolinoe.
"Lynx, Iron Eagle, on alert. Deploy drones to observe enemy patrol patterns and personnel deployment," Gray Wolf ordered.
The group hid behind the outpost and began silent reconnaissance.
The drone hovered at low altitude, and combined with observations from a high-magnification infrared telescope, the real-time dynamics within the village were gradually compiled.
Half an hour later, Gray Wolf gathered everyone at the base and turned on the dim screen of the tactical terminal.
"According to the intelligence we received beforehand, the entire village is divided into five parts," Gray Wolf said, pointing to the terrain map on the screen. "We are currently below the cliff, which is the back of the village, or the west side of the village. The terrain is relatively wide and divided into three sections. The north side is the treatment room for the seriously wounded; the south side is the rest area for the defenders."
Grey Wolf pointed to the center area: "The center is the medical staff's rest area. Intelligence indicates that the informant we need to contact is here."
"The area in front of the village is divided into two parts: the southern part is where the lightly wounded can recuperate; the northern part is the core of the entire camp, which houses the equipment depot, radio, and command and control room."
At this point, Gray Wolf switched the screen and brought up the dynamic infrared thermal image he had just detected: "Based on the reconnaissance over the past half hour, we have figured out the enemy's patrol patterns."
"There are two patrol teams of five people each on the outskirts of the village. They start from the core area on the north side of the village. After leaving the village gate, one team goes north and patrols around the north wall; the other team goes south and patrols around the south wall."
"At the same time, since there is an observation point at each of the north and south ends of the village, their patrol route returns along the same route after they reach the observation point, after greeting the personnel at the observation point."
"This means we need to eliminate two observation points simultaneously. Otherwise, if we enter from the rear, we're very likely to be spotted by the people at the observation points."
After saying that, Gray Wolf looked at Lu Ye and Vasily, Vasily looked at Lu Ye again, and Lu Ye nodded.
"I'm fine with it. I can take over the north observation post after we destroy it and then provide cover there!" Lu Ye said.
Gray Wolf Chong Luye nodded in thanks: "Eagle Eye, move to the south observation post for cover!"
"In addition, there is a three-man mobile sentry station between the village's medical area and defense zone. We will decide whether to avoid it or eliminate it once we enter the village, depending on the situation."
Then Gray Wolf raised his head, his expression grave: "Also, the abandoned red-brick church in the village center mentioned in the intelligence is the only high point in the entire village. There are two snipers on duty there, with a view covering the front (east side) and the north and south sides of the village. We can't move an inch without taking them out."
Just then, the female officer who had been silent suddenly spoke up.
Her voice was cold and clear, exuding an unquestionable authority.
"In addition to retrieving the intelligence, there is an absolute bottom line for this mission: we cannot expose the identities of our informants."
Gray Wolf paused, his brow furrowing. "That's a bit unlikely, isn't it? Based on the enemy's patrol density and sentry post distribution, it's impossible for us to infiltrate and withdraw without killing a single person."
After saying that, the gray wolf glanced at the two corpses beside him: "Besides, it's too late now!"
"Once they discover tomorrow morning that the cliff sentry has been assassinated and the medical rest area has been invaded, the Ukrainian army's counterintelligence department will immediately suspect the medical personnel there."
"Therefore, we need to set other targets to guide and distract the enemy." The female officer looked at Gray Wolf, her tone firm.
Gray Wolf glanced at the female officer, then at Vasily beside him, and took a deep breath: "I need to request permission from my superiors to change the mission objectives and operational plan."
"We have penetrated deep into enemy-controlled territory, and radio communication must remain absolutely silent. Long-distance communications are extremely vulnerable to being detected and located by the Ukrainian army's electronic warfare units."
The female officer interrupted him, "Besides, even if you ask for permission, he can only agree with my opinion."
These words stirred up another wave of emotions in Lu Ye, who was standing to the side.
Just how high is this woman's status? She can even change the operation plan at the last minute, completely disregarding the lieutenant colonel in command back home.
The gray wolf gritted its teeth and remained silent.
Before setting off, the lieutenant colonel called him aside and gave him a strict order: even if the entire squad is wiped out, the safety of this woman must be protected.
"Alright." Gray Wolf nodded helplessly. "Since we're diverting attention, let's add another high-value target group and destroy the enemy radio station and equipment depot to the right front of the village. Let them think this is a special sabotage operation targeting the command and logistics systems."
Everyone nodded silently, indicating that they understood.
Grey Wolf began to redistribute tasks, his fingers swiping rapidly across the tactical screen.
"Due to the change in the action plan, we need to split into three groups. The previous action plan remains unchanged."
"First route, control the high ground. After taking out the observation points on both sides from the rear, Hawkeye and Lynx, you two will use the cover of night to infiltrate the village and take the high ground of the abandoned red brick church."
"Lu Ye, you stay at the observation post on the north side and use your sniping skills to provide full cover for them as they infiltrate and eliminate the church sentries."
Lu Ye and Eagle Eye nodded simultaneously: "Understood."
"Second route: intelligence gathering. Sir, Vasily, you two will enter the central medical area at the rear and contact our informants to gather intelligence."
"Lu Ye, after you cover the church, provide them with vision and fire support. Once you have the intelligence, the three of you should retreat back to the cliff along the original route."
The female officer nodded to Vasily.
"Third route, sabotage and decoy." Gray Wolf looked at the remaining three team members, "Giant Bear, Detonator, Iron Eagle, the three of you follow me."
"After Hawkeye and Lynx took the high ground and provided cover, the four of us infiltrated the north side of the village, located the enemy radio station and equipment depot, and planted C4 explosives. Once detonated, the enemy's attention would be completely drawn to us."
Grey Wolf's gaze swept over everyone: "After we destroy the radio station, we will break out and retreat from the north side of the village, covering your intelligence team's safe withdrawal."
This is an extremely dangerous decision.
The assault team was essentially exposing themselves and bearing the brunt of the wrath of the more than seventy combatants in the entire Ukrainian camp.
"After we break out from the north, we'll enter the withered birch forest outside the north side of the village to shake off the enemy's pursuers," Gray Wolf continued.
"But I need you to silently eliminate the Ukrainian army bunker we passed on our way here. If we are not able to evacuate in time and are caught up by enemy pursuers, we need you to provide cover for us there."
"Then we'll go back the way we came. Any questions?" Gray Wolf looked around at everyone.
Lu Ye sighed inwardly; it seemed he would have to use his attribute points and skill points.
