Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Rhodes Islands, Uncle Black's secret hideout

Everyone sat around An Xiaohai. Besides the nine members of the special operations team from the security department, there was Yan Hong and a middle-aged man named Lao Fang. Lao Fang had always been by Xu Congzhou's side, and he was in charge of most of the people Xu Congzhou brought.

An Xiaohai was intently studying the intelligence gathered by everyone, and everyone's attention was also on him, ready to answer any questions he might ask.

Xie Dan and Uncle Xiao Hei stood guard at the door of the house. Uncle Xiao Hei would glance at Xie Dan from time to time. He liked Xie Dan quite a bit and could see many of his younger self in her.

However, Uncle Xiaohei sensed that Xie Dan had become increasingly silent in the short ten days since they last met.

After a detailed discussion, the final action plan was finally finalized.

"Everyone, now I will explain the details of the operation," An Xiaohai said, putting down his notes.

"In this operation, we will use a US-made communication system. To simplify the command process, each team will be assigned a maximum of two communication terminals. During the operation, the communication terminals will always be on so that each team can keep track of the overall situation."

Now let's assign call signs:

我的呼号为Win,登岛作战的四个小队，呼号分别为TA1、TA2、TB1、TB2，四名狙击手分别对应Sniper1、2、3、4，其中Sniper1和Sniper2使用M82A1狙击步枪；

Two armed helicopters correspond to FOX1 and FOX2, and the team that attacked Rhodes Prison is TEAM1;

I first assigned tasks to the four landing operation teams.

Four landing teams will be deployed, each equipped with two standard speedboats and one slower speedboat with a larger carrying capacity. After the landing operation, the larger speedboats will be used first to transport the acquired supplies to this location.

An Xiaohai pointed to a location northeast of the Rhodes Islands:

"Two fishing boats will be moored here beforehand. After the people transporting the supplies load them onto the fishing boats, they will immediately leave on the fishing boats. The speedboats used to transport the supplies and the weapons used must be destroyed on the spot."

"Aren't we going back to provide support?"

"It's too late. We're quite a distance from the Rhodes Islands. By the time you transfer the supplies, at least 20 minutes will have passed. By then, the other teams will have already started to evacuate. Your ship is relatively slow, so there's no point in coming back."

Let's continue.

When we attacked Rhodes Prison at dusk, we observed more than 30 suspicious assault boats appearing near Rhodes Prison, and the total number of people observed and recorded exceeded 200.

But I estimate that this is not all of their power. They must still be hiding a portion of their strength, and that hidden portion is at least equal to, or even greater than, the power that has been revealed.

"I think everyone knows who these people really are."

Yes, we know what we're doing.

"If, as you say, they only deployed half their forces, plus some necessary non-combat personnel, then they have likely deployed the equivalent of a reinforced battalion here," Number 1 added.

"Yes," An Xiaohai nodded. "So this time we are facing an enemy 10 or even 20 times our size, so we must be careful about our fighting methods."

Sniper1 and Sniper2, you're using anti-material sniper rifles. Your target isn't people; your main target is their speedboat. Shoot down their speedboat's engine, and the people on board will be at our mercy.

If they have other means of transportation, such as armed helicopters, you are responsible for handling those as well.

The other two snipers mainly targeted their machine guns and heavy weapons;

The two armed helicopters' primary mission in the first phase was to support four landing teams in taking down the four islands as quickly as possible.

Once completed, return to the battlefield immediately. Your main task at this stage is still to eliminate the enemy's naval forces.

You'll have a clearer view from up there, so I won't give you any instructions. But you'll definitely become the target of everyone's criticism, so you must be careful.

After the four teams that landed on the island completed their missions, the rest of the team, except for those who transported supplies, returned to provide support by speedboat.

Try not to fight them on the water. Although we have conducted several days of intensive training, we are still definitely not as good as them.

I suggest you randomly occupy some small islands, take advantage of the terrain, and strike their naval forces. Be careful not to stay in one place for too long. After fighting for a while, you should change locations according to the situation to avoid being targeted by concentrated fire from the enemy.

Finally, when I give the order to retreat, you are responsible for rescuing the four snipers and the people on the helicopter, and then breaking out eastward in at least four separate groups.

"Don't we need to stay behind to cover the first squad?"

"We'll see," An Xiaohai said, taking a deep breath. "I don't think the first and second phases will be too difficult. The most dangerous phase is the third phase, which is the retreat phase."

I suspect that the ones who haven't shown themselves are blocking the eastern side of the Rhodes Islands, because that's the direction from which we're most likely to retreat.

To the west lies Fairport, and to the north and south lie their massive forces. Our only option is to retreat east; that offers a slim chance of survival. If I were them, I would have laid an ambush east of the Rhodes Islands.

"If they have an ambush to the east, wouldn't our supply ships just run right into their encirclement?"

"Don't worry, the ship carrying supplies shouldn't be in too much danger."

When the supplies are being transported out, we will still be fighting at Rhodes Prison. They will most likely let the supply ships pass through, otherwise their ambush would be meaningless.

As long as the first squad remains near Rhodes Prison to keep them occupied, their ambushers will not show themselves.

Therefore, during the breakout, apart from the first squad, the other squads also had to disperse and move outwards, passing through their encirclement one ship at a time.

This will put them in a difficult position. If they don't show themselves to intercept us, they can only watch helplessly as we leave one by one; if they do show themselves to intercept us, their ambush will be wasted.

"Wouldn't the first squad be in great danger?"

"Everyone is in danger!" An Xiaohai stared at Number 7 and said, "As I just said, when people other than the first squad are breaking out ship by ship, they may show up to intercept them."

Once they intercept it, the ship attempting to break through will most likely meet a perilous end.

Don't just think about your comrades; taking care of yourselves is the top priority. Once you break out of the encirclement, don't linger at sea; immediately head for safe waters.

An Xiaohai pointed to a location on the map: "Everyone should remember this place. There is an island here. Uncle Xiao Hei will be anchoring several fishing boats here in the next couple of days."

After breaking through the encirclement, everyone headed straight here. Each speedboat had enough fuel to get to this location.

However, everyone should remain vigilant. Reaching this location involves traversing vast seas, and the speedboat is constantly at risk of capsizing. It's a journey fraught with peril.

"So what are you going to do?"

"We have a plan," An Xiaohai said, sitting down. "After you break out of the Rhodes Islands, I will take Team 1 south. At that time, their people who are lying in ambush in the east will definitely be unable to hide anymore."

Their most likely reaction is to split in two, with one group pursuing you and the other trying to intercept us;

Do not linger in battle; fight and retreat, exhausting them as much as possible.

Uncle Xiao Hei will lay a floating minefield at this location. I will lead Team 1 to lure the speedboat chasing us into this floating minefield. Once they enter the floating minefield, we will immediately turn around and head east.

I think the biggest threat to Team 1 is not the pursuing ships, but the big guys coming from the south to provide support. So the faster each phase is completed, the safer Team 1 will be.

Finally, because the operation was carried out at night and our people were scattered, there was a high possibility that some people would get separated from the group or fall behind during the operation.

Number 1, in the next two days you need to lead a group to find some suitable small islands, bury some supplies and communication equipment on them, and then inform everyone of the location. If anyone gets separated from the group during the operation, don't panic, try to find a way to the supply point.

The lone personnel found these supplies at the supply point, hid themselves, and then contacted Director Xu, who would find a way to pick them up.

Okay, that's the complete outline of the operation. Is there anything else you're unclear about?

"No more," everyone shook their heads.

"Alright, let's settle on that for now!"

The operation will take place at midnight three days from now, and our people inside Rhodes Prison will also cooperate with the operation at that time.

This timing cannot be changed. No matter how the situation changes, we must launch on time, otherwise they will be in great danger.

This operation was codenamed Hurricane.

From now until the operation begins, you will remain here to conduct reconnaissance and preparation. If you discover any unusual situations, you must report them promptly.

Two days later at 23:40, I turned on my communication equipment on time and waited for the hurricane to arrive.

Brothers...comrades, see you after the victory!

"Mission accomplished!"

Hearing the commotion inside, Uncle Xiao Hei, who was on guard outside, quickly looked up at the sky to keep the tears welling up in his eyes from falling.

For so many years, for so many years we've felt stifled, and finally we've heard that magnificent cry again.

Xie Dan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, feeling as if a raging fire was burning within her. It was an indescribable power that made her forget all fear.

A hurricane will arrive in three days!
