Song Heping leaned against a tree and watched his students in the distance, the more he watched, the more ridiculous he found it.
A bunch of grown n, fully ard, squatting there looking clueless around a tiny map, like a group of elentary school students lost on a spring outing.
Jiang Feng asked, "Squad leader, just between us, what would you do if you were in this situation?"
Song Heping chuckled and asked back, "What would you do?"
Jiang Feng scratched his head, "Well..."
Song Heping teased, "Don't disgrace your unit now. Aren't you guys trained by the instructors' team? Didn't you have a simple tactical application test at graduation?"
Jiang Feng hastily replied, "Yes! Of course!"
Song Heping asked, "So, what would you do?"
Frowning, Jiang Feng thought for a mont and then said, "Reverse thinking."
Song Heping slightly raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? Let's hear it."
Jiang Feng said, "Since the AUC camp currently has a lot of people, we should reduce their numbers. With reverse thinking, shift the attack target to the governnt army camp. Aren't the governnt army and AUC allies? If one is attacked, the other will send reinforcents. So, if we attack the governnt army camp, the AUC camp will also send people to reinforce, and consequently, the number of enemies at our target camp will decrease, making the surprise attack easier."
Song Heping nodded slightly, "It's a clumsy thod."
"A clumsy thod?"
Jiang Feng felt sowhat indignant.
But he didn't dare to retort.
He had seen Song Heping's command skills and suspected there might indeed be a better way.
Song Heping didn't continue the argunt but instead approached Anthony and the others.
"What's the matter? Haven't figured out a strategy yet?"
He tapped his own head.
"Are your brains made of stone? Can't think outside the box?"
Anthony said, "Principal, I have an idea."
Song Heping pointed at him, "Spit it out quickly, or the AUC will have moved their arms and left."
Anthony said, "Redistribute our forces, create a diversion!"
Song Heping glanced at Jiang Feng, seemingly guessing what Anthony was about to propose.
"Elaborate."
Anthony said, "We can send 20 people to attack the governnt army camp. That way, the AUC forces will definitely send troops to reinforce, and the only forces they can mobilize within a hundred kiloters are those in our target camp. Once they dispatch soldiers for reinforcent, it will inevitably reduce their troops at the camp, thus easing the pressure on our assault team!"
Song Heping looked at Jiang Feng, "See, the sa level as yours, creating a diversion. Sounds good, right?"
Jiang Feng gave a wry smile and scratched his head, without saying a word.
Song Heping then asked the others, "Does anyone else have a new battle plan?"
Everyone looked at each other, remaining silent.
Because no one had co up with a better idea.
Godwin said, "Principal, I think Anthony's plan is already very good. To co up with such a strategy under these sudden circumstances, I can't think of a better one."
Song Heping sighed and shook his head.
"Ah... all of you, using your brains just to hold water."
Godwin defiantly said, "Principal, I don't believe there is a better plan than this."
He felt that Principal Song Heping was just being mysterious.
There were only so many people.
Only two camps.
The enemy was limited as well.
It was either moving from here to there or vice versa, and the two camps would always be uneven.
What else could be done?
Could they even add any flair to it?
Song Heping glanced at his watch and held back from cursing: "If I say you're all pigs, you would definitely not accept that, but if I don't call you pigs, it wouldn't be fair to your intelligence. If it weren't for the fact that ti waits for no one, if it weren't for fearing that you all might be annihilated, I damn well wouldn't be your strategist."
He bent down to pick up the map.
Just when everyone thought he was going to work on the map and devise a clever plan, he simply folded the map up.
That's right.
In front of everyone, Song Heping folded the map and then threw it back to Anthony.
"Put it away. For such a trivial matter, several grown n hovering around a map and you can't co up with a reasonable combat plan, no wonder your militant group is always being chased by AUC."
Anthony and the others stood up awkwardly.
Godwin couldn't accept this: "Principal, then you tell us..."
Song Heping, frustrated as if dealing with failing students, said: "If this were in school, I'd punish you to run ten kiloters in the mountains and then co back to talk to , to get your brain working before discussing anything else. Do you only focus on the two camps? I'm asking you, what's the purpose of this mission?"
This question stunned everyone present.
Because the answer seed quite simple.
Finally, Anthony answered quietly, "It's... to blow up the batch of military supplies in the AUC camp."
"Isn't that the end of it?" Song Heping spread his hands: "You guys still rember the target is to blow up the supplies?"
Silence fell over the scene.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding the situation.
Song Heping said, "What? Still don't get it? Military supplies, idiots! They now have a company's worth of troops, transporting the supplies, right? So now there are two companies in the camp, right? So, why must you blow up their supplies in the AUC camp?! Tell , are you all out of your minds? Can't you wait for that company to transport the supplies away from the camp, after traveling several miles, then find a perfect spot for an ambush, set up your guns and mines, and wipe them out completely?"
His words exploded like a bomb, stunning everyone.
Anthony and Jiang Feng, and others, their minds were like rusted bolts, unable to turn, then soone oiled them, they moved a bit, then got stuck again, and then oil again...
This repeated, stuttering, as if trying to start but unable to start an engine.
"Got it now?!"
Song Heping looked around.
"Supplies! That's the target! Attacking the camp was to blow up the supplies! Now that the supplies have moved, can't your brains move with them? Can't the battlefield move with them?! Must you stubbornly focus on the two camps of the governnt army and AUC, making things difficult for yourselves? Do you enjoy fighting pointless battles? This is good! Once the supplies leave the camp, there's just one company's worth of troops, and unlike in the camp, there are no sentries or watchtowers, just ambush them halfway. Switch from a sudden attack to an ambush, from inside the camp to outside, isn't this advantage ours?!"
Having said this, the engines in everyone's heads finally roared to life, rumbling with understanding.
"Damn..."
Jiang Feng said, "It really is a good thing..."
Anthony almost knelt, his face feeling hot, bowing to Song Heping and admitting his error: "Principal, you're right, we really are pigs..."
"Ah, accepting you are pigs shows you recognize your own faults. There's hope for you yet." Song Heping said, then with a wave of his hand, as if herding pigs: "Let's go! Deploy! Find a place for an ambush! What the hell are you still standing here for?! Waiting for soone to bring them right in front of you to blow up?!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
As if waking from a dream, Anthony turned and waved his hand to everyone: "Follow !"
The people in the woods quickly withdrew, and peace was soon restored.
