Chapter 286 Plainclothes Reconnaissance Operation
After frowning and thinking for a while, Chen Tao raised his head. Only then did he realize that everyone was looking at him.

Chen Tao said in a deep voice, "I suggest sending an advance reconnaissance team first."

This sentence was his opinion. Everyone said nothing and still looked at him, obviously waiting for the next step.

Chen Tao spoke slowly and unhurriedly, "There are only two possibilities for the content of the intelligence. First, it is conclusive, and second, it is a trap. No matter which possibility it is, one thing is certain, that is, the location is not the same." There will be mistakes. As long as we send out a reconnaissance team to search the target area and walk the route in the intelligence on the spot, of course this section of the country, then what we want to know will naturally be known."

This is a good way.

But it's not that Xue Xiangyang hasn't thought about it, he has his own concerns.

"There are two issues when sending out a reconnaissance team. First, whether it is available in time, and second, whether the intention will be exposed in advance." Xue Xiangyang said calmly, "Counsel Chen, in your opinion, how to solve these two problems?"

Looking at the time, Chen Tao said, "If a reconnaissance team is sent out at dawn now, it will definitely be in time. The reconnaissance team will continue to work until the end of the entire operation. As for whether the intention will be exposed in advance, Director Xue, we can think of a solution from the details. All in all, my opinion is that any combat plan formulated without first-hand reconnaissance intelligence is an oversight."

This is war thinking. Do not fight an uncertain war unless it is absolutely necessary.

“Sending plainclothes?”

Chen Tao said slowly, "It is not a trivial matter for a dozen people to cross the border with arms. They need a lot of resources to train a dozen gunmen with military experience. Therefore, I judge that they will definitely arrange for pick-ups and even secret sentries along the routes within the territory. Keep informed of the situation.”

"You mean..." Xue Xiangyang frowned.

Commander Yang interrupted at this time and said, "Director Xue, I'm afraid our troops are more professional than you in terms of battlefield reconnaissance. Well, Staff Chen's men are best at doing this, and my special service company can also do it."

Xue Xiangyang understood that this was not the time to compete for the limelight. The fact was that the army was better at field operations, including battlefield reconnaissance.

"So, Staff Officer Chen, is there any problem with your Orion team and Hunter team's disguised reconnaissance?" Xue Xiangyang said decisively.

Chen Tao smiled and said, "No problem at all. First, explore the terrain and situation of the target area clearly. The mobile troops in the base will be on standby. If the time is right, they can immediately launch an interception. The combat plan can be based on the real-time intelligence returned by the reconnaissance team. Make revisions.”

"In this case, without further ado, let's start organizing the troops to set off. The bases are all in the target area, which requires at least three hours of travel." Xue Xiangyang said.

It's not just a matter of setting off as soon as he says it. The reconnaissance operation also requires a combat plan, which must be reported to the superior department for approval and filing before the troops can set off.Don't think that dispatching a dozen people is easy.The Orion team and the Hunter team combined were nearly half the platoon's strength.

Several officers were busy, and naturally, the staff officers in the combat conference room were also woken up from their drowsy state, and began to formulate a reconnaissance action plan as if they were on stimulants. This was definitely not just a staff officer pointing a pencil at the map. It can be done by just writing and drawing. It requires the full cooperation of various departments, such as intelligence, logistics, weather, communications, etc. The work to be done is very complicated. No matter how small an action, it is a sparrow with all its internal organs.

Therefore, the standard of a general staff can basically be judged by its efficiency in coming up with combat plans.

The meeting adjourned at [-]:[-] a.m., and the meeting lasted for more than an hour. At most, at [-] o'clock, the preparations would be ready, and then the troops could set off.

Xue Xiangyang asked the bureau to send four Prados, all with civilian livery and civilian license plates, to carry the Orion Team and the Hunter Team, a total of seventeen people.Regardless of the specifications, the terrain and altitude of the target area make it difficult for other vehicles except large-displacement off-road vehicles to pass smoothly.And each vehicle can carry four or five people, which is also the limit.

Four plainclothes drivers who were familiar with the terrain gathered in front of the government building and immediately inspected the vehicle again to ensure that there were no problems.

Soon, the Orion couple and the Hunter team were woken up from their sleep. There was no emergency assembly whistle because it was a secret operation.

Chen Tao and a few soldiers walked into the dormitory carrying piles of clothes and other things. Li Mu and the others had already gotten up and were about to get dressed.

"Put these on and find the size that suits you." Chen Tao pointed to the pile of casual clothes and said.

Li Mu and others had no idea what was going on. They were all confused. However, their movements did not delay at all. They quickly found clothes that suited them and put them on. When they lowered their heads, they looked, oh, it was still a well-known outdoor brand. The clothes, even the boots, are brand-name.

"Headhunter, what are you doing?" Li Mu adjusted his clothes and asked.

Chen Tao asked the orderlies to leave, then asked everyone to sit down and said in a deep voice, "We have a short meeting. The specific mission briefing will be at 15:[-], and there are still [-] minutes left."

"There is a mission!" Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and the last bit of sleepiness flew out, and Shi Lei even said in surprise.

Everyone sat down and Chen Tao began to speak, "We are going to conduct a plainclothes reconnaissance mission on the side of the plateau close to the border."

Li Mu took a breath of cold air. Generally speaking, on plateaus with an altitude of more than 4000 meters, not to mention the temperature at this moment, the thin air alone is a natural difficulty that must be paid attention to.

"The intelligence department has obtained information that a group of ten to 15 terrorists will sneak into our country with weapons from the southwest side of the plateau on the [-]th. This move is regarded as retaliation for our capture of spiders alive. But the truth of the intelligence The identity has yet to be confirmed, but the location is certain. The headquarters decided to send a reconnaissance team to take the lead in reconnaissance of the target area. The Orion team was divided into two reconnaissance groups, and the Hunter team was divided into three reconnaissance groups, departing at [-]:[-]."

Only then did the soldiers understand why among the clothes distributed, there were tight-fitting sweaters with good thermal insulation properties.

"This reconnaissance operation is to find out whether there is an ambush in the target area, to find out the terrain of the target's infiltration route, and to provide strong battlefield intelligence support for subsequent interception operations." Chen Tao raised a finger, "But all The premise is that the identity must not be exposed, otherwise the subsequent actions will be aborted."

Li Mu and others subconsciously puffed up their chests.
