Chapter 1622: A Friend
According to the drone’s positioning, the weapon base is located in the middle of the mountain range, so whichever direction you attack from, the distance is more or less the same.
Gu Fan looked at the map, marked the location of the weapon base and the entrance to the mountain range, and then drew a straight line connecting the two points, which extended out to the other side of the mountain range.
"Okay, this is it. Notify Jie to attack from this position." Gu Fan reasoned that although many mountain roads have been built, the enemy’s vehicles would drive around in these mountain roads, make a loop, and then head to the entrance of the mountain range.
Gu Fan assumed this was the enemy deploying a deception, so they wouldn’t make a big detour, just a minor deviation within a small area.
Since the weapon base is in the middle of the mountain range, and the entrance to the mountain range is on the east side, Gu Fan then ordered Jie to attack from the west side. No matter how much the enemy’s vehicles detour, they would not go as far as the distant west side.
Lu Yi was somewhat worried; if Gu Fan’s guess was wrong and the enemy’s circling was not to deploy a deception but for patrolling, they might actually drive to the distant west side.
Gu Fan had considered this point as well, but there wasn’t a better plan at the moment, so he had to take a gamble and instruct Jie and the troops to proceed with caution.
Two days later, following Gu Fan’s directions, Jie concentrated his forces on the west side of the mountain range and then started climbing, traversing one mountain after another, slowly approaching the weapon base.
If vehicles were to drive from the west side of the mountain range to the middle, it would take at least six hours, but if people were to trek across mountains and ridges, it would take at least three days, even for those who have undergone training, it would still take two days.
