Chapter 100 Operation "Broken Beam"
The Lobaev Arms DVL-10 high-precision tactical silenced sniper rifle is suitable for covert assassinations.
The heavily modified SVCh is a versatile mid-range rapid-response rifle, suitable for high-intensity tactical environments, balancing firepower and accuracy, and is the only semi-automatic rifle.
The newly purchased SVLK-14S is the pinnacle of ultra-long-range accuracy, designed for extreme range and precision, making it more suitable for his skills. However, it has poor concealment and is somewhat bulky.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Lu Ye decided to stay for the time being.
3:50 PM.
The entire Black Scythe Squad appeared outside the command center on the second basement level.
All six of them changed into their combat uniforms.
Vasily stood at the door, and after seeing Lu Ye, he glanced at the crowd.
"Have they all arrived?"
Yuri nodded: "Black Scythe Squad, all members are present."
Vasily opened the access control: "Come with me."
The group entered the command center, which was brightly lit and had several large screens on the walls.
The screen displays satellite images, topographic maps, meteorological data, and several scrolling intelligence briefings.
Vasily led them to a meeting room.
In the center of the conference room was a long table with a tactical screen embedded in the tabletop, and a large combat information screen directly in front of it.
After everyone sat down, Vasily sat in the first row at the front, on the side.
"Wait a moment. Someone will come to explain the task at 4:00 PM sharp."
Ruslan said in a low voice, "This is quite a show of force."
Eugene looked at the screen: "The mission level must be quite high."
Lu Ye didn't speak. He glanced at the map outline on the main screen: Zaporizhzhia direction.
Soon, the conference room door opened.
Anna walked in, followed by a lieutenant colonel who was about forty years old. His epaulets were clearly visible, and his face was expressionless.
Anna walked to the main screen and glanced at everyone first.
"Black Scythe Squad, welcome to the mission briefing room."
"Let me give you a formal introduction first."
"Anna, Deputy Director of the Intelligence Division of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Southern Theater."
She pointed to the lieutenant colonel beside her.
"Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Gromov."
"The person in charge of logistical support and coordination for this operation."
"He is responsible for coordinating airdrops, remote surveillance, evacuation windows, and requests for fire support."
The lieutenant colonel nodded: "Hello, everyone."
Yuri stood up: "Black Scythe Squad, Captain Yuri, assault operative and on-site commander."
Ruslan: "Ruslan, heavy firepower."
Eugene: "Eugene, electronic communications and drones."
Artyom: "Artyom, assault soldier, close-range breakthrough."
Roman: "Roman, demolition, medical, adjutant."
Lu Ye: "Lu Ye, the sniper."
After Lu Ye finished his introduction, Anna's gaze lingered on his face for a moment.
Then, she picked up the remote control, the main screen lit up, and the map zoomed in.
"Mission codename: Broken Beam".
"Operation nature: Deep behind enemy lines, hunting down high-value targets."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruslan muttered under his breath, "I knew 300,000 wouldn't be easy to get."
Anna ignored him and continued, "According to the intelligence I've received..."
At this point, she glanced at Lu Ye again.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat; this intelligence most likely came from the village of Sokolinoye.
Anna continued, "The deputy commander of the Ukrainian army's Tavria group, codenamed Architect, will enter the area behind the Orekhov-Tokmok axis in Zaporizhzhia Oblast in two days."
She clicked on the remote control, the screen switched, and a regional map appeared.
"Target area: Near the abandoned industrial town of Pologi. There are industrial ruins left over from the Soviet era here."
"High-rise apartments, factory chimneys, water towers, abandoned factories. These are all natural observation points and potential sniping spots."
""
A red mark appears on the screen.
"The Moroccan River system runs through the area, and the riverbanks, drainage ditches, and old bridge arches can provide concealed access and evacuation routes."
"The surrounding area consists of farmland, woods, village roads, and abandoned railway. Approach conditions are better at night, but the risk of exposure is extremely high during the day."
.
Eugene asked, "Enemy drone density?"
Anna: "High."
The lieutenant colonel picked up where Anna left off, adding, "There are small quadcopter patrols in the forward area. Electronic reconnaissance density is expected to increase further before and after the target appears."
Yuri asked, "Target level?"
Anna replied, "Lieutenant General. He is in charge of adjusting the defense system along this axis, reorganizing fortifications, and mobilizing some reserves."
Roman asked, "What is the probability of the target appearing?"
Anna looked at him: "More than seventy percent."
Lu Ye: "The time of appearance."
"unknown."
"window?"
"From the early morning of D-day to the evening of D-day."
Yuri frowned: "In other words, we have to go undercover beforehand."
Anna nodded: "That's right, starting from now, today is D-2!"
"We'll depart at 10 PM tonight. You must reach the designated ambush area before midnight the day after tomorrow."
Artyom inquired about the details: "What is the size of the guards surrounding the target?"
Anna tapped the remote to switch screens: "One to two squads are expected to guard the inner perimeter. The outer perimeter will be handled by local defense forces and military police."
Eugene: "Do we have photos of the target, detailed features, vehicle information?"
Anna replied, "Yes."
Then I continued to click on the remote control, and several blurry photos appeared on the screen.
"These are images from the last three months. The targets typically travel in armored SUVs or off-road command vehicles, and the convoy usually consists of three to five vehicles."
"He sometimes wears combat uniform and sometimes a civilian jacket. Due to an old injury to his left shoulder, he puts more weight on his right leg when walking."
After saying that, Anna continued to emphasize: "You can't rely on facial features alone."
"Vehicles, escort formations, communication characteristics, and target gait must all be considered in a comprehensive assessment."
Eugene nodded: "I need the entire data package."
Anna: "It will be synchronized with you."
Yuri asked, "Are there any restrictions on the methods of killing?"
Anna looked at the lieutenant colonel, who immediately added, "No, I suggest prioritizing long-range precision sniping. Second choice is roadside ambush, and third choice is close-range assault."
"The enemy's rear is too deep; once inside a building, the risk of evacuation will double."
Yuri turned to the lieutenant colonel: "What about the entry plan?"
The lieutenant colonel walked to the main screen and took the remote control Anna handed him: "Now, let me introduce the action plan."
Switch the screen to the flight path map.
"Phase one: air delivery."
"At 10 PM tonight, you will take off from the camp's temporary airfield in a transport plane."
"Turn outside the edge of our air defense coverage. After entering the designated airspace, parachute at high altitude, low opening."
Ruslan frowned: "HALO?"
The lieutenant colonel nodded: "Yes, sir."
"The final decision on the ejection altitude will be made by the aircrew based on weather and radar conditions."
"You will land at a nighttime drop point approximately 20 kilometers from the target area. The landing site will be located at the boundary between farmland and forest belt."
Yuri frowned and asked, "Why not take a plane? It's closer."
Lieutenant Colonel: "The enemy's close-range radar and portable air defense activities are frequent, and the risk of helicopters entering is too great."
Ruslan glanced at his equipment: "Should I jump with a PKP and an ammo box?"
Lieutenant Colonel: "The equipment will be distributed in batches."
"Main pack carried on your person. Heavy equipment in separate parachute packs, each with a low-power beacon."
"After landing, you have a 30-minute window to gather your equipment."
"Only open for a short period of time. Once the window is closed, you must abandon the service."
Yuri nodded: "Continue."
