In another time and space, two F-18 fighter jets were flying side by side over the sea. The exhaust gas ejected from the aircraft's tail engine left two long traces in the sky.

They took off from the aircraft carrier of the expeditionary fleet and are currently conducting combat patrol exercises.

When the expedition fleet approached the reconnaissance boundary of Base 6, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the fleet took off one after another and flew towards the depths of the ocean.

From now on, from reconnaissance to combat, the expedition fleet must rely on itself for everything.

The boss gave him such good equipment and sufficient supplies. If he still couldn't complete the task easily, Zhao Weiguo thought he could just find a piece of tofu and kill him.

There are still about 1,000 nautical miles from here to the intended destination. Calculated at the current economic speed, it will take about two days to arrive.

During this period, Zhao Weiguo does not intend to be idle. In addition to sending out unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to explore the road, all units must seize the time to conduct various practical exercises. Once an enemy situation arises, they cannot start chaos on their own.

In addition to sending out reconnaissance planes in the forward direction, the Indochina Peninsula on the right side of the fleet is also within the scope of fleet reconnaissance. Who knows if the iron hooves of the New Dark God Cult have set foot on this land.

However, judging from the current reconnaissance results, it seems that there is really no such thing.

Two days passed by in a flash, the Strait of Malacca was already in sight, and the expedition fleet was ready for battle.

According to the report sent back by the reconnaissance plane, traces of the enemy were finally found in the ancient city of Malacca, but the number seemed to be less than expected.

In addition, not a single person can be seen in the villages of various sizes outside the city. Various signs indicate that these villages have been abandoned for some time.

Could it be that some serious plague happened here?

Or maybe all the local residents were wiped out by the new Dark God?

The answers to these questions cannot be found by relying on reconnaissance aircraft alone. A ground attack must be organized.

To be cautious, Zhao Weiguo did not order the fleet to sail into the Strait of Malacca. Instead, he planned to seize this stronghold first, capture some prisoners for interrogation, and clarify the situation.

To put it bluntly, now that we are on the sea, if we encounter any situation, it is much easier to turn around and run away than after entering the strait.

Since the enemy does not know our arrival now, he can surprise us with a sneak attack at night, just like the last time the enemy sneak attacked us.

Treat others in their own way!

On the amphibious assault ship not far behind the aircraft carrier, a tactical briefing meeting was taking place in the situation room, and Zhao Weiguo was personally in charge of this operation.

"This is our goal tonight." Zhao Weiguo said, pointing to a high-definition aerial photo.

Sitting under the stage are two commando teams headed by the two brothers Guo Jianxiu and Guo Jianye. They are the protagonists tonight.

Due to their excellent training results and tough combat style, the Guo brothers have been promoted to the rank of major, and each leads a special operations company.

"According to intelligence estimates, there are about a hundred enemies left here, only a small number of reinforced soldiers, and no elite monsters found."

Although the elite long-handed monsters can become invisible, they are in combat mode, and there is no reason for them to spend hard-earned dark energy to remain invisible in normal times.

"Various clues indicate that there were once a large number of enemy troops stationed here. It is very abnormal that there are only more than a hundred enemies with low combat effectiveness left here."

Zhao Weiguo switched to a photo and continued to explain: "There are no traces of enemy troops within dozens of kilometers nearby, but there are many uninhabited villages. There should have been people living here in these villages not long ago."

"Where have the enemies gone? What happened in these villages? You need to go and investigate these issues.

Our plan is to launch a surprise attack on the enemy tonight and capture as many alive as possible and bring them back for interrogation. While we are talking, the Baiqi (the first Burke-class modified gunboat delivered to the Zhao Jiajun) and the Mengao (Burke

K-class guided missile destroyer) has set off.

Their destination is the Strait of Malacca, and they will provide you with fire support when necessary."

Zhao Weiguo switched the screen again and showed everyone the situation map of the enemy and ourselves.

Malacca City is located on the southern coast of the Malay Peninsula, and its southwest is the Malacca Strait. The Baiqi can use the four 127mm rapid-fire guns on the ship to project various artillery shells from the sea in case of emergency.

The expedition fleet is currently docked in the east of the peninsula, 180 kilometers away from the city of Malacca. The commando team will take a helicopter at 3 a.m. and fly for more than half an hour across the entire peninsula to launch a raid.

"...The above is our entire plan for this operation. Is there anything you are unclear about?"

Guo Jianye raised his hand, "Report to the commander, I have a question."

"explain."

"How many prisoners are we going to take? If we encounter resistance, how are we going to deal with it?"

"The leader of the enemy will try his best to capture you alive. If you are unfortunately discovered, you can use lethal force based on the principle of protecting yourself."

"clear!"

"Any other questions?"

"there is none left."

"Then take the time to rest. There are still a few hours left. Get up at two o'clock in the morning and prepare for action. The meeting is over."

The commandos can go and rest, but Zhao Weiguo cannot. He is also responsible for overall command. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Time passed by, and Zhao Weiguo was sitting in the command center on the aircraft carrier, secretly thinking about possible changes to the enemy, when suddenly an officer came to report.

"Commander, the Baiqi sent a message that they have arrived at the predetermined sea area and can provide fire support at any time."

"knew."

Zhao Weiguo looked up at the wall clock on the wall. The hour and minute hands were about to coincide, and the fire support squadron was in place a few minutes earlier.

"Are the flying units ready?"

"They're ready."

In addition to the helicopters transporting the commandos, this operation also has several armed helicopters providing air support. They are mainly responsible for having an extra trump card in the event of unexpected situations such as ambushes.

"I'll take a rest. Wake me up at two o'clock." Zhao Weiguo said, rubbing his sore eyes.

"Yes, Commander."

Two hours passed by in a flash, and Zhao Weiguo felt like he had been woken up just as he closed his eyes.

"Commander, it's two o'clock."

"Are the commandos up?" Zhao Weiguo took a look at the time and saw that it was indeed two o'clock.

"They have already gotten up and are making preparations for departure."

Zhao Weiguo washed his face, went to the balcony outside the command room and looked back. Dozens of meters away, the lights on the huge amphibious assault ship were brightly lit, and several huge heavy-duty helicopters could be vaguely seen on the deck.

It seems that the people on the ship are busy preparing for their first sea attack.

The other warships around the fleet did not move at all. The operation tonight was of no concern to them. Except for the officers on duty, most of the officers and soldiers were sleeping soundly...

Twenty minutes later, the commando team received a report of readiness, and the helicopter carrying them requested to take off.

"take off!"

Zhao Weiguo did not hesitate and gave the order decisively.

Four CH-53E Maritime Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopters took off first, carrying two companies of special operations personnel and an interrogation team.
Chapter completed!
