Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"The entire operation began with our attack on Rhodes Prison, and we designated the group that attacked Rhodes Prison as the first group."

I will be in charge of the first group.

I estimate that the enemy forces lying in ambush nearby are unlikely to be able to react immediately. At the very least, it will take them some time to get from the ambush site to Rhodes Prison. I'll set that timeframe at 10 minutes for now.

This means that within these 10 minutes, armed helicopters and snipers must work together with the first team to clear out the enemy's sea-bound support forces.

Within these 10 minutes, the first team must also storm into Rhodes Prison. Once successful, the enemy's naval forces will no longer pose a significant threat to the first team.

Of course, we still need to determine the specific time required for this stage through pre-battle reconnaissance.

We will use the entry of the first group into Rhodes Prison as a starting point; this phase is the first phase, and the time taken will be set at 10 minutes for now.

With the first phase successfully completed, the operation moved into its second phase.

"Section Chief An, what if the first phase isn't completed smoothly?" Number 1 asked, frowning.

"That's a good question. It's true that the first stage could fail."

If the first group fails to storm Rhodes Prison as planned in the first phase, the other groups will still attack their respective targets as originally planned.

The first team established a defensive line around Rhodes Prison and continued attacking the prison while waiting for other teams to complete their missions and provide support.

However, the total task time will still be 30 minutes. Once 30 minutes are up, all teams must immediately retreat, regardless of whether the task has been completed.

"What about our comrades in Rhodes Prison?"

"I'll figure something out. You don't need to worry about this. Rescuing people is the first group's task. The other groups just need to complete their own tasks."

"Okay." Number 1 hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"With the successful completion of the first phase of the mission, the operation will now enter the second phase."

Armed helicopters and snipers will begin coordinating with other teams to clear the four islands. As for the specific coordination and clearing methods, we will have you formulate a plan after on-site reconnaissance tomorrow, and I will approve it.

In the second phase, the first group's objective was to blow open the underground water cell of Rhodes Prison within 15 minutes and enter it to rescue our comrades.

So, the first group only had 5 minutes from entering the underground water prison to rescuing our comrades. They had to complete the evacuation within those 5 minutes.

The other groups also had to complete their tasks within 20 minutes.

For the teams that attacked the four islands, if you find valuables on the islands, then send a small group of people to evacuate to the eastern sea area with the valuables. We will determine the specific evacuation route together after on-site reconnaissance.

Others, provided they are safe, can head towards Rhodes Prison to meet the first group.

If there isn't enough time, or if there aren't enough people to provide backup, then we'll just evacuate. The first group will figure out how to evacuate on their own.

In short, the main principles are: first, everyone should do their own job well before managing others; second, always ensure your own gains; and third, don't suffer losses.

Finally, I want to remind you of one more thing: there are no civilians in the prison or on those four islands. You must all stay alert. Any hesitation could lead to the failure of the operation and the sacrifice of your comrades.

If you are captured, you will have no chance of survival and will certainly suffer inhuman torture.

In this battle, it's either them or us; there's no room for maneuver.

Therefore, once the operation begins, please forget all your kindness, compassion, mercy, and other good emotions. Everyone must become a machine, a killing machine.

If anyone can't do it, say so now, and I'll send you back.

……

An Xiaohai's words immediately silenced the room. Everyone exchanged glances and remained silent for a long time. Finally, Number 1 couldn't help but ask the question that had been on everyone's mind.

"Section Chief An, I think if we do this, how are we any different from terrorists?"

"Heh, terrorists? Well then, let me tell you what I would do if I were a terrorist!"

"I'll divide the men into three groups. One group will attack the airport, destroying their planes and aviation fuel depots. Will an armed helicopter equipped with air-to-ground missiles, along with a combat team already hidden in a private plane, be enough?"

……

"The second group attacked the port, blowing up oil and gas storage tanks and killing people along the way. Again, one armed helicopter was enough."

Furthermore, I can mobilize the Mayfire people to act together, causing even greater destruction and chaos.

This way, their fleet will head towards the port, and once they reach the port, we can take action here, giving us at least twice the time.

As for whether the two armed helicopters that went on the mission can return, or how many civilians will be killed or injured, there is no need to consider that. I only need to consider whether the objective can be achieved.

This is the behavior pattern that terrorists should follow.

Or, without making it so complicated, I could simply take over Rhodes Island, hold the tens of thousands of civilians hostage, and negotiate with them to get their release.

If they refuse to compromise, I will kill 100 people every 10 minutes until everyone on the island is wiped out. Even if we don't achieve our goal, we won't lose out, and we'll make them feel like they're caught in the middle.

That's what you call a terrorist.

Honestly, I really want to do it that way, because that way, our risks are minimal and our gains are maximum. I also wouldn't need to send Number Four and my brothers to risk their lives to infiltrate Rhodes Prison for reconnaissance.

But it won't work. I can't convince myself, and I can't convince you to do it this way.

Therefore, we have to rack our brains and risk our lives to carry out such a dangerous plan.

Those four islands are home to members of drug cartel organizations that have been poisoning us for over a decade. Don't they know that?

I don't think so. They must have known, but they were happy to see it happen. They even colluded with these drug lords and provided them with cover.

Now, we're going to remove these five malignant tumors. Is this an act of terrorism?

Silence fell again. An Xiaohai put down his pointer and sat down on the sofa.

"Everyone, let me say a few words," Xu Congzhou stood up: "As a Chinese, I am very proud. Our soldiers are all excellent, virtuous, and humane."

However, as your superior, I am very disappointed. Your stance is unclear, you cannot distinguish right from wrong, and you cannot prioritize!

What is this place? This is a battlefield!

There is no room for mercy or hesitation on the battlefield. In previous years, how many of our soldiers sacrificed their lives at the hands of the enemy's elderly, women, and children because of mercy and pity?

Didn't I tell you these lessons? Did you all forget them?!

Section Chief An is trying to reason with you all politely, but I don't have the patience for that. I have only one thing to say: if you can do it, do it; if you can't, get out of here and stop dragging everyone down with you.

What the hell!

Xu Congzhou's sudden outburst startled An Xiaohai, who had never seen Director Xu so domineering.

The special operations team members looked at each other, then stood up in unison.

"We've thought it through, we're determined to volunteer, and we guarantee we'll complete the mission!"

"Isn't that enough? Stop rambling!" Xu Congzhou glared at everyone, then turned to An Xiaohai and immediately put on a smiling face again: "Section Chief An, is there anything else you want to say?"

An Xiaohai was sweating profusely at the waterfall.

"Let's discuss the details of tomorrow's on-site reconnaissance further..."

"Please, please!" Xu Congzhou smiled and handed over the pointer with both hands.

Luoan Command

The gray-haired general handed a small note to General Hu Zuokeng. Hu Zuokeng took the note, glanced at it, and then casually put it aside.

"General, I wonder if this intelligence might be wrong?"

"Oh?"

"Nguyen Nghe Thai and his men actually want to attack Xian Port? Are they crazy?"

"Yes, they've gone mad," General Hu Zuokeng nodded slightly. "They have no choice but to go mad; if they don't, they'll never have another chance."

"But……"

"No need to doubt it anymore, I think the intelligence is probably true," General Hu Zuokeng stood up: "What has happened recently is very strange! The Navy SEALs infiltrated, first taking down one of our patrol boats, and then committing a bloody crime in the Turtle Islands."

Immediately afterwards, the Mayfire flared up again, and at the same time, Rhodes Prison was attacked inexplicably.

Do you think all of this is isolated?

"You mean to say..."

"Don't you understand them? Do you think they'll genuinely help us? This is just their standard procedure."

"So, according to you, Ruan Yitai and his men are really going to attack Xian Port?"

"This is very likely. Only by creating a major event can they prove their worth."

"Alright, let the First and Third Battalions secretly move towards Xian Port, and let the northern fleet also move towards Xian Port."

"But General, if the First and Third Battalions are secretly moved toward Xian Port, then the headquarters will be vulnerable."

"It's alright, Ruan Yitai and his men don't have the guts to attack the main camp. Even if they did, don't you know their strength? I'd be more than happy if they dared to attack the main camp!"

We also have the Second Battalion and the Guard Company here. If they dare to come, I guarantee they won't leave alive.

"But what if they have the support of Country M..."

"Don't be afraid. If they are a group of warriors, even if they attack with wooden sticks, we must be cautious. But if they are a group of cowards, even if they have the best weapons, they are still cowards."

If we can hold out for a while, they will inevitably collapse. Even if they don't collapse, once our other troops return to support them and form an encirclement, they will still be doomed.

"That's settled then. Execute it. Meanwhile, tell our informant to keep a close eye on Ruan Yitai and his team's movements. He might complete the mission soon, and I'll personally award him the medal then."

"yes!"
