508: Chapter 504: Open the Full Map
The preparations for evacuation were ready, and they could evacuate at any ti.
To establish a temporary camp, the supplies sent by Uriyangko would be critical.
Thus, the biggest problem facing Gao Yang wasn’t evacuating, but whether the camp could still receive the airdrop after being discovered by the enemy.
About twenty minutes later, reports ca from the surveillance point that the car abandoned near the trail had been discovered.
However, the scouts assigned to the reconnaissance mission did not advance purposefully towards the camp.
Instead, upon discovering the car, they quickly left the area.
The enemy scouts had left without delving deeper, but it was only a matter of ti before the camp would be discovered.
Gao Yang decided to first evacuate the wounded to a safer place.
Upon his command, two people began to carry a seriously injured soldier out towards the chosen temporary camp.
Gao Yang did not leave.
He and a few others who remained had to wait a bit longer.
If Uriyangko could bring the urgently needed supplies before the enemy launched an attack, then they wouldn’t have to find another place for the airdrop.
They would wait for the supplies to be dropped before leaving.
If the airdrop could not be executed because the enemy attacked while they were waiting, they would quickly retreat and then look for a new airdrop site.
The n from the Angel rcenary Corps were already in position.
If anyone ca again, they would engage in direct combat.
However, quite so ti had passed, and not a single person had approached.
After almost an hour, Uriyangko called, informing Gao Yang that the first plane would arrive for the airdrop within an hour.
But, if it encountered fighter jets, the airdrop might be canceled, and they would have to choose another ti and location to proceed with the drop.
Gao Yang had a very bad feeling.
The feeling of knowing that the enemy was coming but never being able to know when, having plans for everything but not knowing whether any plan could proceed smoothly, was too unpleasant.
Gao Yang remained in the dining hall where they had eaten, and Nate also stayed there.
In fact, other than a few ready to receive the airdrop, everyone else had already taken up their positions for battle.
Therefore, aside from Gao Yang and Nate, there wasn’t anyone else in the dining hall.
Nate looked quite calm, while Gao Yang was getting impatient.
He stood up and walked a few laps around the room before finally blurting out, “What do you think, will our airdrop co first, or the enemy’s air force?”
Nate shook his head, “I don’t know.
This is the third ti you’ve asked
this question.
Keep your cool and wait for the outco, and don’t ask again.”
Gao Yang let out a long sigh, “F**k, if only we had accurate intelligence.”
Nate smiled after looking at his watch, “Intelligence should be arriving soon.
I just hope that our intelligence isn’t too outdated.”
As if to corroborate Nate’s words, right after he spoke, soone walked into the dining hall, saluted Nate, and announced loudly, “Report, Lieutenant Colonel, we have intelligence.”
The newcor was Chloe.
Gao Yang had heard Chloe’s voice many tis before, so even though he had not seen her before this, he imdiately recognized her as soon as she spoke.
Chloe should have reported the intelligence to Nate imdiately, but seeing Gao Yang, she didn’t start speaking right away.
It wasn’t until Nate nodded at her that Chloe said loudly, “Lieutenant Colonel, our intelligence source has made contact with the high command of the Colombian military just five minutes ago.
We have gained access to all the commands of the enemy’s frontline headquarters and have obtained significant information about the enemy’s situation.
The intelligence is accurate and reliable.”
Nate nodded in satisfaction, “Very good, excellent, tell
what we know so far.”
“The enemy has not yet completed their deploynt for military action.
Currently, they are sending out small reconnaissance forces in large numbers, in coordination with reconnaissance aircraft, to conduct sweeps along both sides of No.
40 Motorway.
This approach has left the enemy with insufficient manpower and their small reconnaissance units have engaged in several firefights with drug traffickers within the search area.
Therefore, the enemy has changed their search pattern.
Upon discovering a suspicious location, small reconnaissance units are to wait for larger troops to arrive for a thorough search.
Consequently, our camp has not yet been discovered by the enemy.”
Nate smiled at Gao Yang, “Finally, so good news, right?”
After addressing Gao Yang, Nate turned to Chloe, “Continue.”
“Yes, Lieutenant Colonel.
The enemy is very determined about this military operation.
According to intelligence, they are still mobilizing troops on a large scale.
A mountain warfare brigade stationed to the north of Bogota has completed assembly and is expected to start reallocation in the afternoon.
The enemy’s air force has been assembled and is ready for combat.
Their forces consist of four Mirage 5 fighter jets, nine Super Tucano attack aircraft, and seven reconnaissance aircraft.
Aside from the reconnaissance aircraft, the enemy’s fighter jets have not received the order to strike yet.
According to the orders, the enemy will conduct maximum saturation attacks once our position is confird.”
Nate shook his head, “That’s the bad news.
Do we know the specific equipnt of the enemy’s air force?”
“Report, there is no accurate equipnt information on the enemy air force yet, but it can be obtained.
Preliminary information is expected to be available in half an hour.”
Nate waved his hand and said, “Go on.”
“Yes, at present, the enemy’s command system is still in a state of confusion.
There are differing opinions among the senior ranks regarding the battle plan, with deploynts not yet complete and the command structure disorganized.
It is unlikely for the enemy to be ready to attack in the short term, even if they locate our camp.
They will find it difficult to launch an imdiate assault.”
After a mont of silence, Nate shook his head at Gao Yang, saying, “I overestimated the Colombian army’s combat capability.
If we had received this intelligence earlier, there wouldn’t have been such urgency to evacuate the seriously wounded.”
After speaking to Gao Yang, Nate then asked, “Is there any intelligence on the Jaguar Corps?”
Chloe nodded, “Yes, the Jaguar Corps are not under the command of the enemy’s frontline command post.
They are directly commanded by the enemy’s Ministry of Defense.
We now have accurate information on the Jaguar Corps’ location and movents.
According to reliable intelligence, the Jaguar Corps is currently in the completely wrong place, engaged in fierce combat with a drug trafficker’s camp.
They’ve realized that their opponents are not us, but they haven’t yet disengaged from the battle.”
Gao Yang chuckled, “Is that possible?
Nate, you said that the Jaguar is a formidable unit.
But now I think, maybe you’ve overestimated the enemy again?”
Nate shook his head gravely, “No, the Jaguars have excellent soldiers and capable junior officers.
Unfortunately, the commands they are given do not co from their commanders, but from foolish politicians.”
Gao Yang smiled slightly, “There’s an old saying in Huaxia, ‘An incompetent general can exhaust the efforts of a whole army.’ The misfortune of the Jaguars is our good fortune.”
Nate nodded, then turned to Chloe, “Any other significant intelligence?”
Chloe spoke somberly, “The local frontline command post’s specific orders to the reconnaissance force are to send a company-sized unit for ard reconnaissance as soon as they discover a suspicious location.
Once they confirm the reconnaissance target as ours, they will then move large numbers of troops to complete the encirclent.
Judging by the chaos in the enemy’s command system, it seems unlikely that they will manage to encircle us.”
Nate tapped the table lightly with his finger, “So, the enemy will soon conduct ard reconnaissance on us.
Can we get an accurate ti?”
Chloe shook her head, “No, we can’t.
There are too many drug trafficker camps nearby, and the area that needs to be searched is too vast.
They currently can’t spare enough forces to conduct ard reconnaissance, so we can’t pinpoint the exact ti of their search.
However, as soon as the enemy sends a large reconnaissance force toward our camp, we will imdiately receive the news.”
Nate nodded, “Alright, you can go.
Keep an eye on the enemy’s movents and report any developnts at any ti.”
After Chloe left with a salute, Nate shrugged at Gao Yang with a smile, “My bad, I indeed severely overestimated the operational capability of the Colombian military.
Now, it seems, there was no need to rush the evacuation of our wounded.”
Gao Yang couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “What should I say?
Is the enemy too foolish, or are you too cunning?
With such precise intelligence about their exact movents and orders, of course, you can make accurate judgnts.
Without this intelligence, of course, we can only evacuate the wounded.
So, it’s not that the enemy is dumb, but your intelligence work is just damn impressive.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Nate replied, “To be honest, I’m also surprised by the level of detail in this intelligence; it surpasses my most optimistic estimates.
Well, it’s a big surprise.”
Gao Yang heaved a sigh, “Knowing everything about the enemy, getting word as soon as they issue an order, it’s like cheating in a ga with the whole map revealed.
Can you tell , how did you manage this?”
Nate sighed, “Okay, if you’re not a fool, you could figure it out on your own, so I might as well tell you outright.
We have an intelligence officer in Bogota, and this ti, his work has been done so well, it’s hard for
to believe.
Or rather, the Colombians are just too easily bought off; I have no other explanation.”
Gao Yang exhaled, “Well, regardless, your intelligence officer is indeed impressive.
My sources haven’t provided any news yet, while yours has managed to…
hold on, let
take this call.”
The call was from Uriyangko.
As Gao Yang answered the phone, Uriyangko spoke with imnse excitent, “Ram, good news.
The airdrop will arrive in ten minutes.
But that’s not the good news I wanted to share.
Listen, I’ve got ahold of the Colombian military’s intelligence channels.
I can get their troop deploynt and front-line commander’s orders in real ti.
Everything you want to know, I’ll tell you imdiately.
Hahaha, all this for just one hundred thousand US dollars.
Now listen, I’ll give you the detailed intelligence.”
Gao Yang, montarily stunned, took the phone away from his ear and said to Nate, “I take back what I just said.
Sorry, it might sound unpleasant, but I have to say it’s not that your intelligence officer is impressive, but that the enemy’s intelligence is simply too easy to purchase.” (To be continued.
