Chapter 348 Tracking
The problem of clustered tear gas was solved, and Chen Chen also began to arrange for close inspection of the predetermined location.
According to Rufti's previous explanation, the next IS-K training will be organized in Losoni, a small town in the north of La Bota, but they will adopt a special review mechanism. Only those who have passed the preliminary certification will arrive in Losoni, and After the relevant contact personnel confirm their identities, the contact personnel will provide the specific meeting location.
The time they provided the meeting place was one hour before the training officially started.
At the same time, the person in charge of the connection is only responsible for the connection and identity verification. He most likely does not belong to the core layer of IS-K and does not understand the specific plan of IS-K. Even if he is caught, it is impossible to touch him. Main member of IS-K.
On the contrary, if he fails to provide timely feedback, the entire rally will be canceled and personnel will be evacuated quickly to avoid possible risks.
It can be said that this mechanism has taken security to the extreme.
It's even so safe that even if the Dongfeng Corps has completely broken through Lufti's inner defenses and obtained the most specific and detailed information, to a large extent, it still can't do anything to them.
It is precisely because of this situation that Chen Chen is not 100% confident about the specific actions of this rally.
He can only execute according to the predetermined plan, take one step at a time, and if he can catch the best, but if not, try to use other means.
Losoni is a small city with a total population of only about a thousand people, all of which are distributed along the ring road.
Now, the total number of police officers in La Bota is close to 300.
They are still investigating the so-called "La Bota Riot Case", but in fact the progress is slow. Most of the police officers are not paying attention to it and are paddling every day.
The reason is simple. Because something bigger happened in Kendari, and the conflict between the president and the military intensified, the attention paid to the La Bota riot case has dropped a lot. In the absence of restraint, they can It's weird if you work hard.
Maybe in a few days, Gunawan will transfer these people back to Kendari.
In this case, it would be better to transfer them to Losoni and do something that can really produce results. This would be better for everyone.
At worst, Chen Chen would just pay some money and then ask Xiaoyu to reimburse him.
One thousand dollars a person, Chen Chen didn't believe that they wouldn't do it.
300,000 US dollars is a lot of money for the Indonesian police, but for Xiaoyu and the others, let alone destroying part of IS-K's power, even just getting their intelligence is an absolute bargain.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen also relaxed.
Since there is a guaranteed plan, let's go ahead and do it.
Early the next morning, all 12 members of the Dongfeng Corps were assembled, equipment preparations were completed, and the medical vehicles needed by Pingchuan were also ready to go.
This is a very sound consideration - the Dongfeng Corps may collide with the MPRI head-on, and in the event of a conflict with a high probability, it must be prepared to suffer injuries and reduce personnel.
However, considering that Pingchuan's medical vehicle was too conspicuous, Chen Chen did not let him move with the large army. Instead, he arranged for him to wait in Krono, another town two kilometers away from Losoni, ready to respond at any time. .
Once there is a trend of conflict, Pingchuan can rush to the scene of the incident within 3 minutes. According to Chen Chen's estimation, no matter how intense the upcoming conflict is, they can basically delay for three minutes before opening fire.
By that time, Hirakawa should have completed preparations and participated in the battle.
Everything was ready. At 7 o'clock in the morning, Group 1 of the Dongfeng Corps set off first, wearing casual clothes and not carrying heavy equipment, to Losoni to organize preliminary reconnaissance.
There were five big men sitting in an inconspicuous Toyota sedan. The trunk was stuffed with guns and ammunition. There were weapons that could kill people everywhere within reach of the car. However, the attire of the four people really resembled this land. All the ordinary people on the planet are just as ordinary.
"We will separate when we reach Losoni."
"According to the plan, Bao Qi went to find a possible meeting place, Shi Dakai kept an eye on the meeting point, and Gang Li, Lin He and I followed the meeting point."
"Be careful not to attract attention. Be casual. Don't wait until you feel the danger of being discovered before leaving. Pay attention to the surrounding environment. When you find obvious changes in the environment, adjust your strategy according to the changes in the environment."
"Use the radio with caution, and especially don't touch the headphones. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"clear!"
Everyone answered in turn, and at this time, the car had already arrived in Losoni City.
According to the predetermined strategy, Bao Qi first conducted a thorough investigation of several key potential targets in the city, including mosques, schools, and larger private houses. He would have to take a look to determine whether they had the conditions to organize a rally, or whether they had already Preparations were made for the rally.
The other four people except him walked to the meeting point - an abandoned public volleyball court in the northeast corner of Losoni. There were few residents around. In theory, no one would go to this area at all.
As long as Chen Chen and four others appear there, it is already an obvious warning signal.
Fortunately, the other party's arrangement is not without flaws.
The biggest problem is that there is no one at the volleyball court, and there is no one on the way to the volleyball court either.
There is only one road that must be passed here, and there happens to be an attraction on the roadside, the Rambono Mata Water Cave.
This place is a place where locals often go to cool off the summer heat. Chen Chen arrived early with three people. Like all other "tourists", they took off their clothes and soaked in the water, waiting quietly.
They even put beer and picnic food on the shore. At first glance, they have completely blended in with the crowd resting here.
The time has just reached 9 o'clock. Although it is still early, the water temperature has gradually risen.
The four of them chatted and observed the people passing by. After more than two hours, they finally located the first suspicious target.
He was a local who was in a hurry. He was a little nervous both in his movements and in his demeanor. After passing by the river, less than 10 minutes later, he returned in a hurry.
"There's something wrong with this guy."
Chen Chen immediately made a judgment and then continued:
"Lin He, follow him and report the situation at any time."
"Pay attention to the tracking principle and don't be exposed."
"clear."
Lin He immediately stood up and put on his clothes, then quickly walked through the woods and walked around to the front of the target, waiting leisurely for the target coming from a distance.
"I took a bite. The target is heading north. The purpose is unknown. It is not yet certain whether it is an IS-K member. Continue to observe."
"Understood, continue to observe."
"Report your location. I'll be there in five minutes."
Chen Chen stood up, stretched out pretending to be tired, then dried his body and put on his clothes.
Tracking and tracking is a complex and systematic work that cannot be completed by one person as most people think.
Camouflage, anti-tracking, information transmission, connection and relay
Each of the techniques and steps alone would be enough to write a book as thick as a book. However, if you are not careful during the execution, your tracking intentions will be exposed, causing the entire mission to collapse.
To use a vivid example, a tracking is like engraving with a carving knife on a piece of precious porcelain that cannot be restored. As long as one step is wrong, the entire piece of porcelain will be scrapped.
The difficulty is very high, and the difficulties are great, so Chen Chen also abandoned the traditional training method and directly followed the consistent thinking and developed a short, flat and fast special strategy.
According to the plan, after Lin He completes the first phase of "identity confirmation", Chen Chen will follow up and take over Lin He's position, giving him time to re-disguise and use the variability of disguise to reduce the risk of exposure.
In this way, the role of the original complex judgment that mainly relies on experience will be weakened, and the difficulty of the entire tracking task will also be reduced.
Following Lin He's guidance, Chen Chen quickly walked towards the ring road - this is the only "street" in the entire Losoni. In fact, apart from here, there is no place to go.
A few minutes later, Chen Chen saw Lin He squatting on the street eating scones.
Lin He looked intently at the two locals who were arguing in the distance. He seemed to be very interested, but if you look closely, you can see that his eyes would glance to the left from time to time to confirm the location of the target.
Chen Chen walked past him, and he coughed slightly, indicating that Chen Chen was ready to take off his clothes. After receiving his instruction, Chen Chen did not respond verbally, but just raised his left hand and said " Pulling hair” action.
This is a necessary code word for transmitting intelligence during the tracking process. After receiving the response, Lin He immediately stood up and left the target area. In an unmanned corner, he sent a signal to the Li Gang who was ready, and the Li Gang took over the next step. of tracking backup jobs.
By following this routine, the three of them can complete the smooth rotation of personnel and ensure that there is no complete loss of positions.
At the same time, Chen Chen had already set his sights on the target.
The target found a street scone stall and made it, looking around warily.
——
This does not demonstrate his professionalism, but rather exposes his amateurism.
Because "acting naturally" is the first thing that all intelligence workers need to learn, and preventing yourself from having the illusion that "everyone knows what I am doing" is a test that must be passed.
Obviously, the goal at hand does not have such professionalism.
Not only did he not notice Chen Chen who was standing across the street buying cigarettes and "concentrating" on counting the money, but his actions and expressions completely revealed his suspicious intentions.
By now, Chen Chen can basically confirm that this person is related to IS-K.
He is most likely a peripheral member like Lufti. Perhaps he has received IS-K's "education" through some channels before, but this is his first time to participate in group activities, so he behaves so nervously or even nervously. excited.
Chen Chen relaxedly opened the cigarette he had just bought, lit it and took two puffs in his hand. Then he pretended to look at the cigarette butt in his hand in confusion, then turned and walked towards the cigarette seller.
——
Of course he didn't do it to argue with his boss. Not doing anything eye-catching was the bottom line that stalkers must abide by.
Many beginners will try to use various strange behaviors to create a "credible" identity for themselves, but in fact the result of doing so is counterproductive.
The only correct choice is to disappear into the crowd as much as possible.
Chen Chen's action was just to create an opportunity for himself to "stay for a long time" as much as possible. He took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the boss, and chose a different pack of cigarettes.
At this time, the target finally waited for his scone and stood on the roadside to eat it like everyone else.
He was still patrolling around with vigilant eyes, and Chen Chen walked directly in his direction, looking at his waist.
This is also a small trick. As long as the stalker does not make eye contact with the stalked, it is basically impossible to be remembered.
Chen Chen passed him by, then moved on. After walking around the corner, he sat down at the door of Losoni's only coffee shop.
He ordered himself a cup of coffee and asked his boss where the bathroom was.
Then, before the coffee was served, he walked into the bathroom and completed the handover with the Li Gang who had already arrived.
The latter hurriedly walked to the stall selling scones, ordered a scone in front of the target, ate it in a hurry, and then returned along the original road.
At this time, Chen Chen had already sat at the table at the entrance of the coffee shop, drinking coffee and leisurely looking at the pedestrians coming and going.
Most of the residents of Losoni are parasitic on the pillar industry of "transportation". Of course, this does not mean that they are engaged in transportation.
There are often only two ways for poor people to make a living:
Add water to the passing trucks to wash them and provide various services to the truck drivers.
Occasionally, scantily clad women who "should never appear here" pass by on the street. Whenever they pass by, everyone's eyes will be attracted, and Chen Chen will use this time window to quickly observe the target.
Soon, the target finished his scone too.
But he didn't leave immediately, but stood there confused.
It was obvious that there was still some time before the rally started and he would not be able to go to the rally before that time.
It seems that the entire process of today's tracking mission is destined to be very long.
This idea flashed through Chen Chen's mind, and at this moment, the target suddenly moved.
Chen Chen didn't pay attention to him, but put his hands together and gently rubbed his face.
Lin He, who had finished changing his clothes, immediately received his order, took over his place, and continued to follow the man moving forward.
Chen Chen slowly drank the coffee in the cup, and Gang Li rotated to position 2, alternating with Lin He to follow.
They had moved to Nambo Village on the northernmost side of Losoni. Both the Li Gang and Lin He had lost their room for maneuver and could only continue to move forward and pass the tracking target.
Chen Chen, who followed, took up their position and turned to the small supermarket on the east side of the ring road.
He walked into the supermarket and observed the target standing in front of the mosque through the gaps between the supermarket shelves.
The target stayed here for two minutes, but instead of entering the mosque, he turned around and left south.
Chen Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the radio:
"The location can basically be determined."
“Near the Light Faith Mosque in Nambo Village.”
"It's a little troublesome. This time it doesn't seem to be 'technical guidance', otherwise it shouldn't be arranged in the mosque."
"No. 3, continue to observe and see if there are any other breakthroughs!"
