Chapter 349 It's that reconnaissance squad again?!
Commander-in-Chief Yang frowned, his hands gripping the edge of the sand table, leaning forward, his gaze sweeping over every topographical marker in the Gantang area like that of a hawk.
The wrinkles on her face seemed deeper than a few days ago, and the whites of her eyes were bloodshot.
"Still unclear!"
Suddenly, he raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the edge of the sand table, making a dull thud that nearly made a junior staff officer drop his pencil.
"How many reconnaissance teams have been sent out? Huh?!"
The troops are about to launch a general offensive. We can't fire the shells indiscriminately, and we can't let the soldiers' lives be sacrificed in vain!
To this day, we still don't know which kind of evil spirit is squatting in Gantang City, how its muscles and bones are structured, or where its firing points are hidden!
How should we fight this battle? Should we fight a muddled war?
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an imposing, authoritative pressure that silenced the noise in the command center.
The expressions of the deputy commanders and chief of staff were equally grave.
Indeed, given the enemy's tenacious defense in the Gantang area and the apparent reinforcement of troops, any offensive plan would be fraught with enormous risks and uncertainties without the support of accurate intelligence.
Just then, the communications officer practically burst in, clutching the newly translated telegram, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement, and he even forgot to call out "Report!"
"Commander! Urgent telegram! It's...it's from the reconnaissance team codenamed 'Mountain Eagle' of the [unit name]!"
Commander Yang abruptly raised his head, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the communications officer:
"Read!"
The communications officer took a deep breath, trying to steady his voice, but it still trembled slightly:
"The telegram confirms that the main enemy force in the Gantang area is the enemy's 316A Division. This division is one of the enemy's six main forces, known as the 'Hero Division,' equipped entirely with Soviet-style weaponry, composed mainly of veterans, and possesses strong combat capabilities."
Currently, a multi-layered defense system is being constructed, relying on the Waibo River, the Red River, and the Gantang phosphate mine area. The division's command post is suspected to be located in the area south of the phosphate mine.
Also attached is a simplified diagram of the outer observation firing positions..."
The communications officer's voice echoed clearly in the bunker.
silence!
Deathly silence!
Even the incessant radio and telephone calls that had been ringing seemed to disappear at this moment.
All eyes were focused on that thin piece of telegram paper.
A few seconds later, Commander Yang's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. He snatched the telegram from the communications officer's hand and quickly scanned it again, as if to confirm every single word.
Then, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a captivating light—a sharp and excited light that seemed to have parted the fog and found the key!
"Well done! Well done, 'Mountain Eagle'! Well done, Zhong Yuemin!"
Commander Yang said "good" twice in a loud voice, his previous gloom completely gone.
"At the crucial moment, it was Zhong Yuemin's team that made a great contribution!"
Then he asked in confusion,
"Hmm, why do I feel like I've heard that name of the squad, and that Zhong Yuemin, all sound familiar?"
A commander on the side said:
“Old Yang, the small team led by Zhong Yuemin made great contributions in the battle to capture and hold the unnamed hill on the outskirts of Laojie. They laid a solid foundation for our main force to completely take over Laojie city. You even praised this reconnaissance team in front of us.”
Commander Yang slapped his forehead.
"Look at my brain, I've already forgotten about yesterday so quickly. Indeed, it's that Zhong Yuemin again!"
He then turned his gaze to the side.
“Old Li, this Zhong Yuemin is from your military region, and he has made another contribution. The reconnaissance teams that your military region transferred here to participate in the battle this time have all performed brilliantly, especially this Zhong Yuemin, who is really good. I would like to meet him.”
Commander Li nodded slightly, noticing the envious glances from his old comrades beside him.
And you know what? This veteran, who had been through countless battles, had long since developed the ability to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
I'm actually feeling a little giddy right now!
I knew Zhong Yuemin was a skilled reconnaissance man, but since this was his first time participating in actual combat, to be honest, I didn't have high hopes. I just hoped he could come back safe and sound.
The results of it?
The surprises just keep coming!
