There is a principle in pla's military - the relationship between careful planning and preparation and not fighting an uncertain battle.
The central meaning is: without careful planning and preparation in advance, it is impossible to fight a confident battle. Pla does not fight a battle without preparation, nor does it fight a battle with preparation but no assurance.
Therefore, all combat operations must be carefully planned in advance and as fully prepared as possible; at the same time, the most difficult and complex situations must be anticipated and used as the starting point for all deployments.
As the captain of the security team, Wang Hedong undoubtedly followed this principle and made preparations.
But unexpected situations won’t happen just because you’ve made careful preparations.
Therefore, it is particularly important to "anticipate the most difficult and complex situation and use this situation as the starting point for all deployments."
When the C-130 Hercules transport plane landed and entered the air near the airport, Li Zheng and his brothers in the quick reverse platoon were already guarding key control points throughout the airport.
Li Zheng acted as a sniper in this escort mission, so his guard position at this time was the most critical position in the entire airport - the airport control tower.
This thing has a name that everyone is familiar with - tower.
The tallest building in J City Airport is this thing. It is a small airport, so it is not as big as you would imagine in a big city. It is not like there was no terminal building before. It only has one floor and is as big as a square.
However, this bungalow-style terminal building is now in tatters and a corner has collapsed, which was caused by the explosion.
Of course, the tower was not immune to the disaster. As the tallest building in the airport, it was riddled with bullet marks, and not a single wall was good.
When Li Zheng came in, he saw that the iron door at the entrance was deformed and riddled with bullet marks. There was a small crater on the ground on the opposite side, surrounded by a circle of radioactive black marks. At a glance, he knew it was blasted by a mortar. .
Lieutenant Jibo, who took Li Zheng to the control tower, said that the airport was attacked that night and this was one of the explosive spots.
He even smiled in a self-assured manner, spread his hands and said, "If that shell had exploded directly into the tower that night, today we wouldn't need their consent and could directly go in and set up sniper posts."
What's it like to have a sniper rifle mounted on the highest point of an airport?
List of small hills?
Are there clear clouds and gentle breeze in the distance?
Want to see farther and reach a higher level?
Or is it that when you look at the crowd below, you feel like I’m the one in charge?
No.
neither.
Li Zheng only had one feeling - Damn, it's too hot!
It’s so annoying!
You know, even in winter, the average maximum temperature here is 33 degrees...
The tower is made of cement, with a large cement board on top. It was nine forty-one when Li Zheng went up.
Then he set up the sniper rifle and lay down. Jiang Cheng sat down with a viewing scope and looked around.
About ten minutes later, Jiang Cheng put down the observation glass in his hand and turned to look at Li Zheng next to him.
"So hot!"
Li Zheng glanced at his watch.
The temperature shows 36 degrees.
Li Zheng's attention was focused on the scope, constantly scanning the entrances and locations far away from the airport that were easiest to hide and break into.
These locations have long been demarcated and marked on the map.
Before any operation, each special team must be thoroughly familiar with the site where it is about to perform its mission, and the team will conduct a simulation to simulate various emergencies.
The best way is to build a building that is exactly the same as the mission location, and then practice it repeatedly until you know where you are, where you want to attack, and where you want to defend, even with your eyes closed.
Of course, it is impossible to do so here.
However, today's technology is very advanced, and it can be done using computers and special software.
Li Zheng glanced around and made his first report.
"Dongliang called the commander. The conditions at marked points 1-4 are normal and there are no suspicious persons."
"Commander received it, stay put and pay attention to vigilance."
In fact, Li Zheng's sniper position also served as a lookout post.
Because no one in the field is in a better position than them.
However, serving as a lookout post is a very boring and easily distracted task.
It requires you to look at the same area for ten consecutive minutes and requires a high degree of mental stimulation. Many people cannot do it without being distracted.
Therefore, another ability of a qualified sniper is to multi-task.
You can chat with the observer next to you, and you can also keep an eye on the area you are responsible for at the same time, without letting go of a fly.
Jiang Cheng kept shouting.
Li Zheng also knew it was hot.
The two of them were lying here, without even a shelter from the sun. They were no different from the squid being slow-roasted on a charcoal grill.
"If you concentrate, stare in the direction you are responsible for, and focus on the scenery in the camera, you will forget about the heat."
Li Zheng wanted to tell Jiang Cheng the trick.
Jiang Cheng said: "I can't do it. It's so hot. This bulletproof vest is too thick. If I had known I was in it, I wouldn't have worn physical fitness clothes. I would have just put on a camouflage uniform."
Li Zheng looked at Jiang Cheng, and he suddenly understood why Jiang Cheng had such good eyesight but could not master the sniper rifle.
Relationships are about details that determine success or failure.
Time passed bit by bit, and it was promised that the plane would arrive at 10:30.
As a result, half past ten passed. Li Zheng looked at his watch and saw that it was already ten forty-five.
Not even a shadow of the plane was visible.
He couldn't help but raise his head, took his eyes off the scope, and looked around.
There really are no planes.
He felt a little guilty in his heart, so he asked for the answer he wanted under the guise of a reminder.
"Dong Liang called the commander. He didn't see the plane. Is my watch broken? It's ten forty-five."
For a sniper, a good multi-functional electronic watch with accurate timing is very important.
So if you suspect that your watch is broken, it’s reasonable to ask.
Sure enough, Shen Jun quickly replied: "Dong Liang, your watch is not broken, the plane is delayed."
Hearing this, Li Zheng felt a little relieved.
Domestic flights are often delayed, let alone here.
When he first arrived, didn't the two German pilots delay his comrades for most of the day?
From Shen Jun's tone, the plane was fine, just delayed.
He wanted to ask more clearly, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of Jiang Cheng next to him looking at him with a meaningful smile on his face.
So he suppressed his words and didn't ask again.
If you continue to ask questions, Shen Jun will definitely become suspicious.
Sometimes Li Zheng really wanted to go directly to his superiors to confess his relationship with Shao Xiaoqian.
After all, a relationship established in college is not considered a violation in the army.
Just confessing is definitely not a good thing.
For example, if the relationship between the members of the peacekeeping force is clearly defined when selecting them, then one of them will definitely not be able to come.
The discipline of pla is sometimes strict to the point of harshness. This is a tradition.
He lay on the ground and observed boredly for nearly half an hour.
Li Zheng took a careful look at the surrounding scenery one by one, and even magnified some of the grass where people might be hiding to see clearly, making sure that there were no hidden places around the airport that could hide people.
The single most difficult thing to defend against now is mortar shells.
The militants of country l do not have many heavy weapons, but mortars are definitely the most commonly used heavy firearms.
It has a long shooting range and is flexible and convenient. It only takes a few minutes from setting up the gun to collecting it and evacuating it. It is definitely a must-have weapon for killing people and traveling at home.
"coming."
Jiang Cheng suddenly pointed to the sky in the distance.
Li Zheng looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough there was a small black spot, which seemed to be an airplane.
He casually took Jiang Cheng's observation device and looked at the black spots. Jiang Cheng didn't really need this thing anyway.
After adjusting the focus, I could see clearly.
It's a C-130 Hercules.
"Dongliang called the commander. A C-130 appeared in the airspace on the west side. The nearby key areas are currently safe."
"Commander, the landing is the most critical time. Please keep an eye on it."
