Chapter 3 "Strategic Village" Action 8. Conspiracy (I)
As soon as the sun came out, it was as red as fire. Tiger turned around and looked at Li Ying: "The weather seems a little weird." Li Ying showed her white teeth: "Don't pretend, you have drained away my knowledge of weather." Tiger couldn't help laughing: "I remember you said that in this kind of weather, there should be strong winds and heavy rain at noon today. If there is no such thing today, then there will be a huge storm at noon tomorrow!"
Li Ying nodded and looked at Tiger. Seeing Tiger looking at her, she blushed and lowered her head, muttering, "What are you planning?"
Tiger smiled up to the sky: "It will be a tragedy for M Guozhen to meet me. I swear to you!"
Li Ying hurriedly shook her hands: "I can't swear, I can't swear!"
Tiger stared at her: "Do you think I'm bragging?"
Li Ying smiled faintly and whispered softly, "No, my grandmother said that people cannot swear or make vows. She said that once upon a time, three people swore and made a vow together, and one of them died. This person told the King of Hell about their curse, but the King of Hell didn't believe it, so he sent a little ghost to lure the souls of the two people to the King of Hell's Palace and let the three of them confront each other."
Tiger burst into laughter: "As long as we fight against the American devils, we will die together and it will be a worthy death."
Li Ying turned his head and looked at the tiger for a long time, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Are you serious?" The tiger was stunned.
"Ha! You two are so affectionate, are you in love?" The careless Big Mouth rushed over.
Li Ying blushed: "So what?"
Big Mouth was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.
Tiger's face was serious: "What do you want to say?"
Big Mouth said hurriedly: "In the second half of the night, the M army sent out wolfhounds to conduct martial law searches throughout Mangchang Town and destroyed all the tunnels out of the town. Now there is only one entrance and exit inside the Zhuyun Hotel."
Tiger nodded: "I figured it out!"
"Early this morning, the M Army's helicopters in Mangchang began to hover over the villages of Pinggu and Xishan at ultra-low altitudes, which was both reconnaissance and surveillance." Big Mouth continued.
Tiger closed his eyes: "Are they going to attack these two villages?"
Second Platoon Leader Hong Yuanming came over quietly: "The barbed wire fence in Mangchang Town is expanding outward, and bamboo houses are being built. They seem to be building a settlement for the villagers in Pinggu and Xishan."
Tiger whispered, "Keep watching," and closed his eyes.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the tiger finally opened his eyes and looked at Li Ying with bright eyes: "I want to take a risk."
Li Ying stared at him without saying anything.
Tiger continued along his line of thought: "Do you know the two villages of Xishan and Pinggu?"
Li Ying nodded affirmatively. She knew Lao Hu's habits and didn't want to interrupt his train of thought by speaking.
"So, do you know if there are any people in these two villages that you think are untrustworthy? In other words, they might betray us at a critical moment!"
Li Ying nodded and said, "I know every household in my guerrilla zone. Among them are those wavering people I expected."
Tiger nodded: "Okay, write down these households!"
He then stood up and said, "Gong Yangzi, come here !"
Gong Yangzi came over in a flash: "Boss, what do you want me to do?"
Tiger said softly, "I haven't eaten yet. Bring some food to me and Captain Li. Also, call all the leaders of the combat teams who haven't left yet."
"Are we going to take action again?" Gong Yangzi asked softly.
"There's no place for you, go now!"
Gong Yangzi ran quickly while muttering, "Why?"
Captain Chen was the first to arrive.
Tiger stared at him and said: "We will now send four combat teams, have them disguise themselves as ordinary people from Pinggu and Xishan, and enter the settlement of Mangchang."
Captain Chen's eyes lit up: "Good idea! I'll go too."
The tiger looked at him and suddenly shook his head: "No!"
"Why?"
"As a commander, you must stay. From today on, you will be with me and take charge of the work." Tiger looked at the water snake, the old monk, the clairvoyant, the Yin Yang Wu Chang and others who kept coming: "Comrades, I have decided to send four combat teams, disguised as ordinary people from Pinggu and Xishan, to enter Mangchang. They will hide and wait for an opportunity to attack Mangchang."
The comrades immediately became active, and it was obvious that everyone had great interest in this challenging task.
"For this operation to succeed, we need great patience. Even if some comrades are killed by the enemy, we must not be exposed. This is an iron rule!" His eyes gleamed coldly as he swept across the faces of his comrades.
"Now I order Captain Chen to lead two combat teams of sharpshooters and machine gunners, together with Captain Li, to bring those people from Pinggu and Xishan villages who may pose a threat to our operation to the guerrilla camp. Set off immediately!" Tiger said in a deep voice.
Captain Chen, the sharpshooter, the machine gunner and Li Ying took action immediately.
The egg-biter suddenly cried out, "Why can't I go?"
The tiger stared at him and said: "If you stop barking like that one day, you can carry out such missions."
The egg-biter laughed immediately: "Zhang Fei can also embroider."
The tiger stared at him and said, "If you can embroider a flower for me, I will send you to the second group to lurk in." The egg-biter's eyes widened and he said, "Does this mean anything?"
Tiger sneered: "When have I ever failed to keep count?"
The egg biter turned and left.
Mortar sighed: "I'll just swallow this breath."
This caused Yin Yang Wuchang and the other three to turn their heads suddenly.
Tiger said in a deep voice: "The rest of the teams, immediately go to the surveillance position of Pinggu and Xishan!"
The sun climbed to the zenith and then quickly set in the west.
Mangchang Town was busy early. Two helicopter squadrons had finished repairing their helicopters and were preparing for takeoff. Four fully replenished special forces squadrons were constantly mobilizing. However, until dark, there was still no movement. The second platoon leader Hong Yuanming, who was observing Mangchang, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What tricks are these American devils going to play?"
Then he lay down again. He had never failed to complete a mission. Therefore, the headquarters also knew that he was a model soldier and called him a treasure. However, this night was really long for him. From the telescope, he could clearly see that the enemy was ready to attack. Why didn't they attack?
This problem also torments tigers.
Captain Chen suddenly asked, "Could it be that the M Army is going to change its usual practice and attack at night?"
However, as time passed, they still did not set out.
The soldiers were all asleep. Even the animals in the jungle were silent.
Tiger shook his head: "M country special forces are different from other arms. They are specially trained and they may have many new tactics. Moreover, Feis is a guy who is good at playing tricks! So, we must always be vigilant!"
Captain Chen nodded.
At 4 a.m., when everyone was asleep, all of a sudden, the lights at the M Army helicopter airport in Mangchang Town were all turned on.
Teams of American soldiers quietly boarded the helicopters. Then the helicopters circled and took off, forming a formation in the air, with lights flashing on them, roaring towards Xishan and Pinggu.
Fifteen minutes later, flares covered Pinggu and Xishan respectively, and helicopters swooped down on the two villages like strange birds. The villagers of Pinggu and Xishan were still asleep, and the M army had already spread across the two villages like ants.
Major Feis watched coldly from the helicopter as the soldiers drove the villagers out and set fire to the village. Lieutenant Colonel Matthew laughed, lit a cigar, and blew out a big smoke ring: "The guerrillas dare to attack?" Major Feis looked at him coldly: "I never doubted their courage."
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew nodded and said, "Okay, I agree with your suggestion. When it gets light, start retreating!"
Flares were fired continuously into the air, and the M army methodically forced the villagers to form neat formations. Except for the crying of some women and the cries of poultry, everything was quiet.
Soon, the first rays of dawn appeared in the east. Helicopters once again filled the sky, roaring loudly. The M army set off in the morning dew, escorting villagers from the two villages.
The helicopter spun down again, and the huge wind blew the trees on the roadside to and fro, providing protection for the M army escorting the villagers.
"I can't imagine how the guerrillas can attack us." Lieutenant Colonel Matthew asked Feis with a smile.
Major Feis cast his eyes coldly into the distance. After a long while, he murmured, "Are they just giving up like this?"
"Feis, I think your idea of night action is indeed a genius idea. The guerrillas of Country Y are completely unprepared to cause trouble for us." Lieutenant Colonel Matthew shook his head again, "But I don't agree. I am more eager to fight them! Like a warrior."
Major Feis also shook his head: "I think you will have a chance."
The sharpshooter jumped motionlessly in a clump of grass, aiming his gun at the road exposed between the branches in front of him. The huge whirlwind of the helicopter seemed to pull him and the entire jungle up, but he didn't even blink.
Finally, the hat of a second lieutenant of the M Army was revealed, followed by the head and chest.
"Snapped!"
The sound of the trigger was covered by the roar of the helicopter. Only the second lieutenant of the M Army who was hit felt a buzzing sound. The bullet flew out of the sharpshooter's pistol, entered his right ear, and came out of his left ear. The second lieutenant of the M Army didn't even make a sound. He collapsed to the ground as if his legs had gone limp.
The soldiers behind were very surprised as to why the second lieutenant couldn't get up after falling down, so they shouted and reached out to pull him up.
This was of course what the sharpshooter hoped for. At the moment of pulling, the special forces soldier of Country M paused for a moment. Another bullet, whose firing sound was covered by the roar of the helicopter, fiercely hit the top of the head of the soldier of Country M. Finally, the soldier of Country M let out a slight cry. Immediately, someone followed the trajectory of the bullet and looked over here.
There was no trace of the sharpshooter. He was running forward. He ran for nearly a kilometer before he stopped. Of course, there was another excellent sniper position here. During this time in the jungle, he had found countless excellent sniper positions in the jungle. Moreover, these places had been renovated by him and he was familiar with them like his bed.
As soon as he arrived, he merged into the sniper position, quietly and motionlessly aiming in the direction of his sniper, waiting for the M country soldiers to arrive.
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew was shocked when he received the report: "Disappeared?"
Major Feis said calmly: "They are like the wild animals in this jungle. They will appear when they want to bite you. Once they bite you, they will become one with this jungle."
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew sat up straight at once: "Listen, the helicopters are using machine guns to sweep across the jungle on both sides ahead!" Immediately, the helicopters split into two groups, sweeping across the jungle on both sides.
The soldiers from Country M drove the villagers forward quickly.
The sharpshooter let the leaves and branches swept down by the helicopter machine gun cover his whole body, and he did not move. Finally, an American soldier once again entered his sniper sight. He pulled the trigger, and the bullet cut through the air and pierced into the American soldier's head.
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew cursed.
Major Feis snorted coldly: "The sniper's position was deliberately chosen, and it was far away from the road. The helicopter didn't find the target, so it was a waste of effort."
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew stared at him: "Is there nothing we can do about him?"
Major Feis shook his head: "This is their home. I can't think of a better way than to leave quickly!"
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew cursed, and Major Feis closed his eyes.
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew gritted his teeth, his veins bulging as he shouted, "Drop two petrol bombs and two bombs every fifty meters!"
Major Feiss raised his head sharply, but then stopped. Suddenly, huge explosions sounded one after another, and the jungle was engulfed in flames.
Tiger's eyes widened angrily and he grabbed Fen and said, "Look, was this done by a beast?"
Finn shook his head and closed his eyes. "It's all crazy, God!"
Tiger suddenly rolled his eyes, waved to Captain Chen, and whispered something to him. Captain Chen nodded and walked out immediately.
Fifteen minutes later, Colonel Wei Ke received a call: "Listen, we are the guerrillas from Country Y. I have been ordered to warn you: your captured Lieutenant Finn is in the jungle beside the road. If you throw bombs and incendiary bombs again, he will be burned or blown to death by you and buried with the jungle of Country Y!"
Colonel Wei Ke was shocked and called Lieutenant Colonel Matthew: "Why are you burning the jungle?"
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew was about to speak when Colonel Micron shouted, "Transfer your command to Major Feis immediately!"
"Fez, stop the operation in the jungle immediately and bring the civilians back!"
"Yes!" Major Feis said in a deep voice.
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew was so angry that he started cursing.
Major Feis whispered, "Watch your manners, Lieutenant Colonel!"
Then Major Feis gave the order: "Drive the Y people to run forward. Those who can't run will be killed without mercy!"
Tiger looked at the people being driven away through the telescope and closed his eyes: "Stop sniping!"
After killing three women and four children, the M Army led the people of Xishan and Pinggu to an area with sparse trees. The armored vehicles from Mangchang also arrived, forming a steel barrier on both sides. Major Feis breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aren't you afraid of the guerrillas' mines?" Lieutenant Colonel Matthew stared at him.
Major Feis shook his head: "With civilians as hostages, they have no choice but to shoot!" He said to the helicopter pilot: "Send us back to town!"
Li Ying's eyes turned red again, but she forced herself not to cry.
Tiger whispered, "Every nation makes great sacrifices when it suffers invasion and resists invasion."
Li Ying nodded, but a tear still fell from her eyes. She said with a choked voice, "I just feel bad for the folks from the eight villages."
Tiger handed her the handkerchief and said, "Just cry your heart out!"
Li Ying shook her head: "No, I want to know what you would do."
Tiger looked at Captain Chen, who was also looking at him eagerly.
Tiger nodded and looked at Finn. Lieutenant Finn also stared at him with timid eyes.
The tiger shook his head and snorted, "If I don't catch you, you're more vicious than anyone else. If I catch you, you'll look pathetic, you American guy!"
