Chapter 3 "Strategic Village" Action 14. Position transfer
All the special forces of Country H came to the square of the settlement.
The major officer of Country H strode to the center of the field, looked around majestically, and suddenly shouted, "Kill them all!"
Immediately, the soldiers of Country H began to attack each other.
To be precise, one side had premeditatedly launched an attack on some unprepared H country soldiers. Moreover, this was not an ordinary attack, but a fatal one. Moreover, the unprepared H country soldiers were not fully awake at this moment. Even if they were awake, they were on patrol and were extremely tired. Therefore, one by one, the unprepared H country soldiers fell down in a moment.
The major actually clapped his hands: "Beautiful, beautiful!" It seemed that he really enjoyed the scene of the H country soldiers being killed. Because he was a tiger, those who killed the H country soldiers were of course Big Mouth and his gang.
The common people of Country Y came out one after another. They helped the old and the young, and were in an orderly manner. The one who organized them was the impermanence of yin and yang.
Guerrillas rushed out of the woods again, quickly stripping off the clothes of the dead H countryman and putting them on. Soon, Major Jin's H country special forces unit was restored. However, Major Jin had been replaced by Tiger, and the soldiers had been replaced by guerrillas led by Tiger. They and the common people were quietly moving.
The sky was experiencing the darkest moment before dawn, and the M Army was completely asleep. The patrolling M Army armored vehicles came over lazily: "Hello, what are you doing?" "We have been ordered to strengthen patrols to prevent the Y Army from taking the opportunity to attack!" Big Mouth roared loudly.
An M Army soldier's head popped out of the patrolling M Army armored vehicle, and a second lieutenant of the M Army waved to them: "You continue patrolling until dawn!" Then, he retracted his head, and the armored vehicle actually turned around and drove away.
Da Zui and his men continued to approach the M Army outpost in the back mountain. The entire team also accelerated the pace of action.
The sentry post was very quiet, with only the occasional flare that lazily rose from the town. Big Mouth walked towards the sentry post with a swagger. The sentry post was a solid cement sentry box with two bunkers on the left and right, forming a triangle.
"Command!" A sudden and startling shout rang out.
The big mouth kept moving and answered, "Elephant Ridge!"
The sentinel replied, "Destroy!"
Big Mouth had approached, and suddenly stabbed forward with the bayonet on his gun, pinning the sentry to the wall of the sentry post.
Two pairs of American soldiers yawned as they changed guard. The doors of the other two bunkers in a triangle layout also opened, and the American soldiers who came out were also yawning. The egg-biter and the machine gunners moved almost at the same time.
The two teams rushed into the bunker like a whirlwind. Tiger and his men rushed over quickly, quickly climbed halfway up the mountain, and set up a mortar.
Yin Yang Wuchang and his men led the common people over. The common people, breathing the familiar air of the forest, could not help but make noises. The guerrillas shouted at everyone to shut up, but it was no use. As more people came over, the noises became louder and louder.
The light of dawn gradually brightened, and the footsteps became louder and louder. Finally, a gunshot woke up the whole town. The M army patrol also discovered the situation.
"Hit!" the tiger shouted.
On the hillside, eight mortars were set up in a row and roared in unison. Shells fell like fireworks towards the M Army camp in the center of Mangchang Town. Fierce explosions rang out one after another.
Following Colonel Microgram's order, the helicopters rushed towards the Elephant Ridge. The flares fired from the helicopters instantly illuminated the entire Elephant Ridge as bright as day. Then four attack helicopters swooped down from four directions, and the fierce machine gun bullets blocked the guerrilla base of the "Water Curtain Cave" like a rain curtain.
The helicopter carrying the M Army soldiers then circled down. The four squads of the first squadron and the four squads of the third squadron spread like ants all over the grass that was illuminated by the flares and gave people an illusion of light. They formed a semi-encirclement of the "Water Curtain Cave". The last to come down was the helicopter carrying the mortar.
Under the unhurried deployment of the M Army, the encirclement was finally completed, and the artillery group was deployed at dawn. With a loud shout from Lieutenant Colonel Matthew, the artillery group began to bombard fiercely. At the same time, helicopters with rocket launchers also joined the attack. However, the helicopters' attack targets were different.
The purpose of the mortars was to blow up the defense facilities at the cave entrances, or even make the cave entrances bigger. The helicopters, on the other hand, fired through the entrances and exits of the caves illuminated by flares.
For a moment, the entire "Water Curtain Cave" was engulfed by artillery fire.
Major Feis was so excited that he murmured, "Let the guerrillas fight our shells with bayonets!"
Colonel Micron laughed, and the signalman handed him the microphone.
Without even looking at Colonel Micron's face, Major Feis said, "It must be the Y Army that attacked Mangchang! This is their usual trick."
Colonel Microk shouted loudly: "No attack, everyone strengthen your own position and defense!" Then he shouted: "Are your helicopters and artillery shells for fun? Smash them hard! Let them wrestle with steel!" Major Feis smiled sinisterly and gave a thumbs up.
Colonel Wei Ke was still not satisfied and pointed at the "Water Curtain Cave" which was flooded by artillery fire and said: "Bomb it hard to scare them out of their wits and break their bones!" His face and eyes turned red due to congestion.
The two-hour-long bombardment slowly stopped when the sun dyed the eastern sky red.
All the trees and water plants outside the "Water Curtain Cave" disappeared, and all the cave entrances looked like gaping wounds, ugly as if they were crying. The smoke was floating around like a magician's mist.
Major Matthew stood up and said, "Warriors, let's crush them now!"
The four teams of the first squadron were deployed in an inverted triangle and rushed towards the "Water Curtain Cave".
Colonel Wei Ke looked through the telescope with interest at the special forces soldiers all over the mountains, shouting and charging bravely. Suddenly, he frowned, "Why is there no movement?"
"Sir, it's absolutely true. There were no less than two hundred Y Army guerrillas here yesterday. I think they should be the main force of the Y Army guerrillas!" Captain Frank, who was in charge of reconnaissance supervision, answered loudly.
Major Feis sneered, "An explosion like this would suffocate the air!"
Colonel Weik was in a better mood: "Haha, gentlemen, I am not interested in this, I want the green channel!" He turned around and said, "I order you, Captain, to set off immediately and conduct infiltration and reconnaissance in this area. I order Lieutenant Hukes to lead two helicopters to follow you, and you will be in charge!"
"Yes, sir! I'm happy to accept your order!" the captain answered loudly.
Colonel Weik raised his head high and said, "Go, warriors, you will establish meritorious service!"
"Yes, sir!" Captain Frank stood at attention, raised his chest and head, and then turned to Major Feis.
Major Feis said coldly: "Your mission is reconnaissance!"
This morning may be the most lively in Mangchang.
As the sun rose, the M Army's mortars and rocket launchers fired fiercely from various M Army positions in the direction where Tiger led the civilians to break out. Helicopters also threw incendiary bombs and rockets into the jungle. The entire land was shaking with the sound of explosions.
So, what about Tiger and the others?
The whole army of tigers was advancing rapidly through the jungle.
Li Ying shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, the M army, armed to the teeth, is right behind us. Don't stop. The further we go, the safer we will be."
Tiger and his special guerrillas patrolled the area, their clothes soaked with sweat.
However, the enemy did not have time to organize a decent pursuit, and the common people were quickly escaping from danger.
"Report!" The staff officer reported loudly, "Commander, Mangchang reports that all the civilians who arrived at the town in the strategic village operation are missing!"
Colonel Wei Ke gritted his teeth and just watched the attack in front of him. His face became very ugly as there was no movement in the cave for a long time.
Major Feis whispered, "Is there really a way out of this hole?"
Major Matthew came out and said, "This mountain seems to be empty. There are holes of all sizes inside, like a spider web. The key point is that there is no sign of human movement."
Just then there was a noise in the jungle around them. Yes, a loud noise.
The M army shouted loudly.
Because dozens of elephants emerged from the surrounding jungles and rushed straight towards the M army!
In an instant, the entire M Army's line fell into chaos.
The common people were finally delivered to the hands of local staff, and the soldiers immediately fell down and began snoring.
Tiger was no exception, he almost fell into Li Ying's arms.
Li Ying fetched some water and gently wiped the sweat and mud off his face.
Gong Yangzi was so envious that he couldn't even doze off: "Tsk, tsk, when will I have such a blessing?"
Li Ying ignored him and concentrated on washing the tiger's feet. Then he let out a long sigh, with a satisfied smile on his face, and fell asleep beside the tiger.
In the afternoon, the sentry woke up Tiger, and the liaison brought an official from headquarters.
In the evening, Lao Hu first reported on his work in recent times.
The headquarters officials first praised the work of the Tigers. Both sides were determined to establish a large guerrilla zone based on the "Green Channel" because of the Tigers' battle in Mangchang. However, the headquarters questioned the Tigers' practice of fighting an M army in Mangchang for a long time. They further required that the Tigers should strictly implement the Jungle Brothers Plan and, through training in battle, gradually spread this group of guerrilla cadres like seeds to the guerrillas on both sides of the "Green Channel", so as to achieve the goal of establishing a large guerrilla zone.
Then he handed a secret order to Tiger and left the camp overnight.
After two days of rest in the camp, Chen Hu and the sharpshooter were left to fight in the local area, and the troops set out again. Li Ying, as a liaison officer, followed the troops. The troops marched for five days. The further south they went, the hotter and more humid the jungle climate became, and the denser the forest became. After continuous marching, everyone felt exhausted.
Captain Hong was even instigated by Big Mouth and asked, "Tiger, when will we have a battle?"
On this day, the troops' camp was chosen to be located by a river. There was a rocky mountain there with few trees and many strange rocks.
The troops stopped for two days to sort out their internal affairs. Everyone changed their clothes, took a thorough bath, cut their hair and shaved their beards.
Li Ying was so embarrassed that he looked the tiger left and right.
Li Ying laughed and said, "I thought you were fifty years old, but you are still a young man!"
Gong Yangzi firmly disagreed: "I object, he is a young man, then I am just a child!"
Big Mouth lifted up his ear and said, "What are you doing, little brat?"
Gong Yangzi was not convinced and followed Da Zui: "What kind of trouble did I cause? What kind of trouble did I cause?"
Unexpectedly, everyone scolded him: "You kid, you just don't know how to be sensible!"
Gong Yangzi thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
The moonlight was like water, illuminating the entire Stone Mountain. In the middle of the night, the logistical supplies sent from the Green Channel arrived at the campsite.
The old monk quietly came from behind a big rock and asked the tiger softly, "Are you taking action again?"
"Yes!"
"I looked at the terrain around this mountain range and it's a good place to camp. If we're only staying here for a month."
"What other changes are to be made?"
"I'll give you a construction sketch tomorrow."
Hu Zhiliang, the captain of the local guerrillas, also came.
The dew soaked his clothes, his dark and thin face, and messy beard made him look very tired. Only when he held Tiger's hand did his eyes flash with a dark light, and Tiger nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Captain."
Tears flashed in Hu Zhiliang's eyes: "Seeing you, I feel much better." He still had to report on his work, but Lao Hu forced him to have a haircut, take a bath, and change his clothes.
The situation was even more serious than what was said in the secret order. The entire Ganling local guerrilla force had only thirty people left.
"I'm just a local comrade. Apart from a passion for fighting, I have no experience. If you don't come, we might all be destroyed. I have prepared a grenade inside my clothes, ready to die for the people at the last moment." Hu Zhiliang's voice was a little choked.
Tiger held his hand tightly: "From your situation, I am indeed late. However, as long as we have the people, we still have infinite fighting power!" He looked up at the rising sun, "You have survived countless battles, you are all heroes. I have decided to send Captain Hong and Shuishe to your guerrilla team. Captain Hong will be the captain and you will be the political commissar!"
Hu Zhiliang suddenly perked up and showed his white teeth: "Commander, I'm hungry!"
After dinner, the camp was guarded by Da Zui and the new company commander Li Chunliang. The troops set out.
Gong Yangzi hurried over.
