Chapter 2 Green Channel 6. Destruction
As it grew dark, Major Lankao's and Major Feis's squadrons finally reunited.
However, the result of the operation was that nearly 20 people were killed or wounded, and no Y country soldiers were found. From Bu Mei to every soldier, they were not angry, but felt strange. Of course, it was not unusual for a person to hide on a branch, but it was absolutely impossible for an army to hide. So where did these people go? No way! It was even more impossible to run out of the jungle! So there was only one explanation: "They fell into the ground!"
In the large command tent built by the special service squadron, Bume and his chief of staff, as well as the squadron leaders of the second, third and special service squadrons, all gathered inside.
The captain of the first squadron went to Saigon for some business, so all four squads were directly commanded by the headquarters. The chief of staff also served as the captain.
Major Lankao shouted, "I think they must have a burrow! And I'm sure they haven't left yet and will harass us again at night!"
Major Feis opened his sunken eyes and said, "I suggest sending out a night attack team to conduct reconnaissance!"
Bu Mei stared at him, his eyes sparkling. "Okay, let's attack them at night! However, I don't advocate night attacks, so I'll call a reconnaissance team. As long as we find their hiding place, we'll move in full force at daybreak!"
"Yes!" Major Feis stood up.
Major Lankao nodded : "This was done by your Cat Team."
Major Feis chuckled, held his head high and straightened his back as he walked out of the command tent.
The old monk led his men out at twelve o'clock in the evening. He and Li Pingyuan, the third platoon leader of Country Y, each led three soldiers.
Li Pingyuan was a guerrilla leader, and earned a nickname at the age of 16: "Ghost Elf". His name was on the wanted list of the occupying forces of Country F. Now the two men came out with the soldiers, and were about to part ways, but the old monk suddenly stopped him and said, "Let's go together!"
"Why?"
"The enemy is a special forces unit. Although they cannot send out a large force, they can send out a small force. Before, the M Army often learned from us in the later stages of the war and used special forces to launch night raids!" He looked at the enemy's barracks, "Today they have been busy for a long time without seeing any trace of us. They must be unwilling to give up. Logically, they will send people out. Therefore, we cross-cover our advance and retreat!"
"Good!" Li Pingyuan liked being with the old monk. He envied his calmness and careful thinking, as well as his military skills - hidden weapons. Although he was about the same age as him, he felt that he was like his father.
Because the generator in the barracks was generating electricity and the searchlights were constantly sweeping, anyone approaching the barracks would be discovered. Li Pingyuan led his men up first. The old monk was not a person who liked to compete for credit. He ordered sternly: "Load the bullets and prepare for battle!"
The four men dispersed, each standing three meters apart, forming a semi-encirclement to support Li Pingyuan and his men.
Feis sent out four reconnaissance teams, each with eight people.
According to Feis's plan, these reconnaissance teams were lurking 100 meters away from Bamboo House No. 39. One person was on a dense banyan tree. As long as he didn't fall asleep and snore, people passing by would not be able to find him at all.
The cats under Feis's command were American cats, not jungle cats. When they met Li Pingyuan, a jungle fighter who had been engaged in guerrilla warfare since he was fourteen, they showed their prowess.
Li Pingyuan smelled the odor on them. Because the special forces of the United States always smeared paint on their faces for camouflage, they did it meticulously at night. But at night, how could this smell escape Li Pingyuan's nose?
Li Pingyuan made a gesture to the three soldiers and made a bird cry. The three soldiers moved at the same time as them, hiding in the bushes and staying motionless.
The old monk received a signal from Li Pingyuan, and the four of them hid and slowly moved forward.
The leader of the eight special forces of Country M was called Tas, a lieutenant squad leader. Before he joined the army, he was a fighting expert and even worked as a bodyguard for a famous family. Therefore, he did not take Feisi's words seriously. The seven men usually trained under him and liked to fight with him the most. Moreover, their hands were stained with the blood of the Y people. It was in a village. Although the Y people in that village were very brave, they were still massacred by them in the end.
So, as soon as Li Pingyuan and the others jumped into the bushes, the eight men immediately jumped down from the tree and pounced on the four men.
When the old monk saw it, eight people had already rushed over. Li Pingyuan had of course discovered it long ago, just when the M army came.
However, Lieutenant Tass was a fighting expert who had killed people before, so he went straight to Li Pingyuan. He wanted to capture Li Pingyuan alive. He saw that Li Pingyuan was the leader of these four men.
"Kill them all!" he shouted, he was very angry, because this morning, his good friend was killed by a mine planted by these people, he just wanted to kill these people for revenge.
Li Pingyuan had no time to shoot, because Tass arrived as soon as he said it, and a close combat had already taken place! The three soldiers were all good soldiers, and they had some basic skills such as bayonet fighting, but they had not been trained by Tiger to become fighting masters. When the seven strictly trained M army special forces pounced on them, they were strangled by the dagger before they could move.
"Damn it, it's not clean!" The old monk cursed inwardly, because he heard the painful groan of the soldier before he died.
He leaped and pounced, with a scimitar in his hand. As his body flashed like a ghost, the scimitar stabbed at the American soldiers who had no time to dodge, like a vengeful bee. Four American soldiers fell down in succession, each with their throats cut by the scimitar.
Li Pingyuan hastily came up with an idea and stuck to Tas. This was something Tas had not expected, that is, if Li Pingyuan dodged or attacked, he would knock Li Pingyuan unconscious. But when he stuck to him, he hugged his hands and feet, and even bit Tas's neck. Tas was caught off guard and quickly grabbed Li Pingyuan's face, threw his body, and smashed Li Pingyuan to the ground. This delay bought the old monk some time. He turned and rushed over, his hands with ten fingers as hard as iron, and grabbed Tas all at once.
Tas naturally saw the old monk's actions. He had changed his mind and reached down. This time, he grabbed Li Pingyuan's head and twisted it. Li Pingyuan's neck made a breaking sound.
"Ah!" The old monk cried out, as if his neck had been broken by this American. His ten fingers suddenly dug into Tas's back.
"Ah!" Tas screamed. He felt the fingers on his body, and he tightened his muscles to relieve the force, but he didn't expect the man's fingers to be as hard as steel bars and as sharp as daggers. There was no need to think too much, the old monk tore his back in one go, and blood flew all over the sky. Three soldiers had already rushed up, and bullets rained down on them. The remaining three M soldiers were trying to escape by rolling and crawling.
"Want to run!" The old monk, with blood all over his body and face, swung his hands violently and threw out three large grenades. With three loud bangs, the three American devils were blown into pieces.
Searchlights from the M Army camp shone over and machine guns also swept over.
The three warriors were all men who were excited to kill the enemy, so they rushed forward! The old monk was a calm man, and he shouted, "Retreat! Go back to the secret cave!"
The other three reconnaissance teams of the M Army had already come up quickly. The four of them crossed over to cover each other and quickly retreated towards the secret cave.
The M Army special forces were very fast, and although the old monk and his men retreated quickly, they were still discovered. The three squads of the M Army quietly lurked around the secret cave.
The secret cave was located on a rock that was neither dangerous nor inconspicuous, and was covered by wild vines, making it difficult to find. The guards were ready, and the old monk divided the soldiers and himself into two groups, taking turns to monitor.
The M army lay low and did not make any more noise. The jungle became quiet again at this moment. The message was sent back, and the M army in the reception station No. 39 could not sleep well. Colonel Bume did not plan to sleep, and he decided to attack as soon as the sun rose.
Major Feis was very happy that his reconnaissance team had completed the mission as planned. His squadron was excited, and they wanted to completely suppress the first and second squadrons. On weekdays, they were always the reserve, and the damn Major Lankao always said this: "The reserve is second-rate!" This made everyone more angry. This time they could hold their heads high, and there was no need for Feis to say anything, all the soldiers were competing.
Major Lankao was breathing heavily: "Brothers, let them take the initiative. Don't fall behind, follow them, they are in trouble, we will save them!" The team leaders of the first and second squadrons all laughed: "Let them go! Let them be the main force!" Therefore, the first and second squadrons got up early and were ready, waiting for the third squadron to set off first.
At dawn, the light in the east sky was particularly beautiful, and the whole jungle was painted with bright colors. The jungle was still shrouded in mist and the light was hazy.
Bu Mei nodded: "Three squadrons set off!"
Major Feis arranged the four squads into a diamond shape. The first squad was in the front, the second and third squads were on the left and right, and the fourth squad was the rear, serving as the reserve. He was in the center of the diamond shape, heading towards the secret cave.
There were no obstacles along the way, and when the jungle fog drifted away with the wind, they arrived at the secret cave.
Major Feis shrugged his shoulders and said, "Tell them that if they surrender, I will give them a chance to survive!"
The accompanying translator shouted loudly in Y language. He shouted three times in a row, but there was no movement in the secret cave.
Only then did Feis wave to his assistant: " Call in the artillery and helicopters to attack!"
He leisurely lit a cigar and sat down on the stone.
The helicopter arrived first and began to attack the secret cave with machine guns and rocket launchers. Then the artillery fire of the special service squadron finally opened. For a moment, the rock where the secret cave was located was blown into pieces. An hour later, the entire rock seemed to have been peeled off, the meat was cut off, and finally even the bones were broken!
"Charge!" Feiss uttered a word through his teeth! The special forces of Country M rushed forward with the attacking moves of the drill manual.
No gunshots, no grenades, no...
Were the old monks killed in the explosion, or did they escape? What about Tiger and his companions?
At this moment, Tiger and his companions were on their way without stopping, having traveled for a day, a night and a morning. In other words, there were only eight people including the old monk in Area 9, four of them had died, and there were still four left.
These four people didn't seem to be in the secret cave either. Of course, they couldn't wait to die in the secret cave. But they didn't go far either. They were waiting for the special forces of the M army in a safe place!
After breakfast, Tiger ordered everyone to rest for an hour, and everyone fell asleep as soon as they squatted down. Only Captain Li and her guerrillas did not sleep.
An hour passed quickly, and Li Ying had to wake up the soldiers who were sleeping soundly. Tiger drank a mouthful of mountain spring water and regained a lot of strength. The troops set out again.
At dusk, they came to a small town called Mangchang.
This is a small town located at the exit of the river valley. The impact of the river valley water formed fertile land, which has large tracts of farmland and orchards, and the terrain is also rare and flat. In the sunset, helicopters kept landing like tired birds returning to the forest.
This was the headquarters of Colonel Buhme's Operation Rip.
Bu Mei was still in Bamboo House No. 39, so the whole town was extremely lazy, including the pilots and the Fourth Special Forces Squadron responsible for guarding. Soldiers without missions bathed in the river in groups of three or four and drank in the town.
In the orchard, Tiger observed carefully once more before falling asleep in his sleeping bag. Everyone slept until the sun went down and the moon rose.
The tiger yawned, stretched, woke up and asked, "Did you sleep well, comrades?"
"I've had enough sleep!"
Li Ying had brought the guerrillas to deliver the hot meal.
Li Ying walked up to Tiger and reported softly, "Intelligence Officer No. 77 reported that Colonel Bu Mei is still in Bamboo House No. 39 and cannot return to town tonight. The latest distribution map of the garrison in town tonight has also been brought out."
Tiger took a hand-drawn map of the M army's distribution from Li Ying. It was very detailed, and the text on it could even calculate the number of people in each place.
The tiger was amazed for a moment: "Not bad!"
Li Ying smiled faintly and said nothing.
Tiger turned to Gongyangzi and said, "Everyone gather together."
Then he put his head down on the map, and didn't raise his head until everyone was present. He habitually stared at everyone and roared, "I, or rather, the enemy can only give you one night. The enemy situation we are facing now is: 1. A helicopter squadron is parked at Mangchang Airport, with 16 aircraft and 110 personnel, stationed in the airport building, and their main weapons are light weapons. 2. The 4th Special Forces Squadron, with four teams, a total of about 260 people, with various weapons. One team is guarding the airport, one team is responsible for the periphery of the town, and the other two teams live in the headquarters barracks." He finished speaking in one breath and let out a long breath: "Now you can make noise, say what you want to say!"
"So, we have only 200 people against 400 people?" The warrior said, then shook his head, "That won't work!"
"What do you want?" Tiger asked.
"It's better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers!" The warrior stretched his head over and pointed at the airport, "Kill it!"
Mortar laughed immediately: "You have to let me fire enough shells this time! I asked Captain Li to get back the layout of the M Army's aircraft. I can guarantee that not a single one will escape!"
The sharpshooter laughed: "Don't worry, I will kill every pilot who dares to run out. So, just shoot slowly. The plane can't walk on its own!"
Captain Chen said: "I will lead the troops to fight for reinforcements!"
Tiger's face was serious: "I order!" Everyone fell silent. Tiger punched the airport location on the map, "Destroy the M army's airport!" His eyes shone with an intimidating light, "This battle is divided into combat teams. The mortar team will lead the artillery team to destroy all the planes at the airport. The sharpshooter will lead the assistance and kill all those who dare to fly the plane! Lao Chen will lead the big mouth team, the warrior team, the clairvoyant team, and the remaining people after the first and second rows were recruited, to attack the airport building and eliminate the airport guards! The rest of you follow me and be responsible for sniping the enemy reinforcements!"
