Chapter 3 "Strategic Village" Action 9. Conspiracy (II)
The sky was covered with dark clouds from noon, and then, with strong winds and lightning, the dark clouds rushed towards the earth, and the rain poured down. Immediately, there was a vast expanse of water between the sky and the earth.
Major Feis raised his head: "What we have to do now is to tie these civilians to our soldiers and use them to expand our barbed wire step by step, so as to lure the enemy to attack!" He opened his file: "This is my specific plan!"
Colonel Weik frowned: "You said you could save Lieutenant Fen?"
Major Feis nodded and said, "I said that if we want to save Fen, we must first kill Xishan and Pinggu. However, Lieutenant Colonel Kai is always afraid of retaliation from the Y country guerrillas and killing Fen."
“Why don’t they retaliate?”
"Of course they will take revenge, but not by killing Lieutenant Finn! Because they will abide by the principle of not killing prisoners! Moreover, they have regarded Finn as a dazzle to compete with us from the beginning! They are very cunning, and it is precisely because of their cunning that they will not kill Finn." Major Feis stood up as if giving a speech, and waved his hand forcefully and briefly, "We should take advantage of this."
Major Feis's eyes, which were always narrowed, widened: "We want to use these ordinary people."
"What's the meaning?"
"We can exchange two or even three villages for Lieutenant Finn," Major Feis whispered. "Two or three days later, we will kill or humiliate the civilians in the places where the guerrillas observe, forcing them to change. The civilians are theirs, so of course they are the only ones who will feel heartbroken!"
Colonel Wei Ke suddenly understood: "You mean, we need the Y army to disguise themselves as ordinary people."
Major Feis closed his eyes: "Yes!"
"0K!" Colonel Micron clapped his hands and shouted.
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew also stood up: "You are so insidious." Then he shook his head, "I have a suggestion, send people from Country H. I can tell you that from what I know, in the war against Country Y, the soldiers of Country H were notorious for their brutality."
Colonel Wei Ke laughed: "Interesting! They know Y language?"
"The special forces trained by us can do it."
Major Feis also nodded: "I agree."
Tiger fell into deep thought again. The thunder, wind and rain did not disturb him at all. Li Ying was quietly preparing food, and the soldiers were quietly catching up on last night's sleep. Chen Hu tried hard to open his eyes, but he fell asleep.
Tiger stood up slowly, walked to Li Ying's side, squatted down, and watched Li Ying cook attentively. Li Ying looked back at him and continued to do her own thing.
Tiger suddenly asked softly: "The enemy's initial and ultimate goal is to cut off the green channel."
His voice was soft to begin with, and the sound of the rain was unusually loud, but Li Ying still heard it. She nodded gently and replied softly, "Yes!"
"When the enemy encounters our sniping, they will establish strategic villages to isolate and eliminate us."
"Um"
"Because Finn was captured, they didn't dare to provoke us and stopped attacking West Mountain and Ping Valley."
"Um"
"But, they can't save Finn, and they will eventually have to attack West Mountain and Peace Valley to appease their superiors' anger." "Yeah."
"Then their next goal will still be to rescue Finn, and then eliminate us."
"Yep!"
"How can they lure us to show up? When we are rescuing civilians? But we are not stupid enough to take Finn with us to rescue civilians!"
"Of course the enemy would think of this." Li Ying put down the cooking utensils in his hand and stared at the tiger.
Tiger's eyes seemed to see nothing, he was completely immersed in his own thoughts: "Then they will have a new conspiracy. For example, they will exchange the common people for us?"
“The purpose of their establishing strategic villages would be defeated.”
Tiger suddenly stood up: "Then they will play tricks when changing!"
His tone suddenly changed: "I'm hungry."
Li Ying laughed and said, "You can eat a little quietly first."
Tiger looked back at everyone and said in a thinner voice: "You look so beautiful when you smile!"
A flash of lightning connected the sky and earth, followed by a loud thunderclap. The soldiers all opened their eyes.
Gong Yangzi shouted: "The meal is ready!"
The rain stopped at 4 p.m. A rainbow appeared in the sky after the rain, and the soldiers came out to stretch their fists and legs.
Hong Yuanming came back in a hurry and whispered something in Tiger's ear. Tiger quickly climbed a big rock and looked in the direction of Mangchang.
He saw this scene:
Groups of civilians were driven out by the American soldiers, and then some were driven to farmland, and some were driven to dig fortifications outside the town. What made Tiger want to curse the most was that even children were driven out to carry things.
Helicopters are constantly hovering in the sky and armored vehicles are patrolling on the ground.
Big Mouth suddenly started to curse: "Beast!"
It turned out that Da Zui saw a child being lazy and was caught by the M soldiers. Because he resisted, he was tied to a tree by the M soldiers, beaten with sticks, and even burned to death.
Li Ying was trembling all over because she saw a woman from Country Y being raped by several soldiers from Country M.
"No!" the tiger cried softly.
Because he saw a guerrilla fighter dressed as an ordinary citizen who exploded violently after being beaten by the M army and fed urine. As a result, of course, he was killed.
Tiger held Li Ying's hand and said, "If he can't kill us all, we will take revenge! I swear it will be a thousand times over!"
For the entire afternoon, soldiers from Country M continued to use various inhumane means to deal with civilians.
Many of the guerrillas had their teeth broken and their lips pierced. It was not until the sun set that the American soldiers led the people back.
The logistics materials that Li Ying contacted were delivered. And at dusk, a group of helicopters landed in Mangchang again. Hong Yuanming reported the news to Tiger.
In the late night, the courier of Zhuyun Hotel sent out an urgent intelligence: At dusk, a group of yellow-skinned soldiers from the Mangchang M Army were transported to the camp of Major Feis and never came out again.
Tiger's heart trembled. Could the yellow-skinned soldiers be the puppet troops of Nan Y? He called everyone together to discuss, but still had no clue.
The next day, the M army continued their performance from the previous day, and cruelly treated the people right in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone was fed up, but Tiger was surprisingly calm, seeming not to hear anyone's scolding and complaints.
At night, some soldiers from Country Y even came to the door and asked to attack alone. Tiger got angry and immediately put them in solitary confinement.
He wandered around the mountain alone day and night.
On the morning of the third day, an M Army officer entered the jungle with a white flag. He brought a letter from the M Army commander, Wei Ke. In the letter, he asked to exchange some villagers with the guerrillas for Lieutenant Finn. The guerrillas were asked to determine the location and time of the exchange.
Tiger quietly read Wei Ke's letter and wrote on it: I want the people of Li Village, Liangshui Village and Tongdao Village to exchange. The location is at the top of Mata Peak. The time is 12 o'clock tomorrow night. Both sides will send 50 people to set up camp. We will start with three signal flares, and you will answer with three signal flares to start the exchange. After the exchange is completed, we will start with three signal flares, and you will answer with three signal flares to complete the exchange.
After the M Army officers left, the guerrillas immediately got busy.
In the afternoon, Army M proposed the only modification, setting the time at five in the morning, which meant that after the exchange was completed, it would be dawn.
The tiger agreed.
Ma Ta Feng is a forest-covered mountain with deep ravines and high valleys on both sides and an extremely complex terrain.
From the early morning of the next day, the helicopters of the M Army kept flying over the Mata Peak for reconnaissance. By noon, the M Army set up camp as agreed.
This was a heavily armed camp, with five tanks as barriers, forming a circle. In the middle of the circle were machine gun positions, flare launchers, searchlights, and even a small ammunition depot. And overhead there were helicopters constantly monitoring, ready to provide fire support at any time.
As soon as it got dark, helicopters from the M Army began to launch flares from the air. The flares hung on small parachutes floated slowly in the sky like sky lanterns, illuminating the entire jungle as bright as day.
It was under the flares that the guerrillas appeared silently 300 meters away from the M Army camp. Both families hung up white cross flags and waited peacefully for the time to exchange.
Major Feis had arranged everything and sat there peacefully with his eyes closed, resting.
Tiger also closed his eyes. He had considered every detail of transferring the common people. He was just confused about what was going on during the exchange. However, this confusion did not hinder his arrangement at all.
Feis suddenly laughed, because he thought of his own correct judgment that was almost god-like: that is, the Y country guerrillas must arrange the exchange time at night. And it is at night that he can effectively cover the completion of his plan. For example, faces. There are still differences between the faces of H country people and Y country people, although the H country special forces have been tanned by the Y country sun. For example, weapons. Although they all carry pistols, daggers and grenades. But they are also easy to find during the day. In other words, he also needs the night.
At 4:40 in the morning, all the searchlights in the M Army camp were suddenly turned on.
The helicopters of the M Army roared and descended towards Ma Ta Feng one after another, and flew back up into the sky after dropping people off. The M Army shouted loudly, forcing the civilians who came down to squat on the ground and form a circle.
Just after five o'clock, nearly hundreds of ordinary people had gathered on Ma Ta Feng.
As the guerrillas' three flares were launched into the sky, the M Army's three flares also rose into the sky.
Two guerrillas escorted Lieutenant Fen to the M Army camp. The civilians were forced to march in three columns toward the guerrilla camp.
All the helicopters in the sky were hovering at a very low altitude, and the huge whirlwind blew the trees all over the place.
As soon as the common people arrived, they quickly moved down the mountain along a secret road covered by trees.
The two guerrillas who were escorting Lieutenant Finn walked straight into the firing range of the M Army, stopped, and waited for the civilians to evacuate.
A group of soldiers from Country M came over and stopped ten meters away from the guerrillas . They confirmed Lieutenant Fen's identity and monitored the guerrillas.
Just as the sky was about to dawn , the guerrillas fired three flares and the M Army also fired three flares.
The two guerrillas flashed and disappeared into the woods.
It's getting brighter.
The M army on Mata Peak had no intention of withdrawing the camp. And more, almost all of the Mangchang helicopters came, flying all over the sky, flying low over the gullies on both sides of Mata Peak like wild geese.
Of course, this also included Major Feis, and sitting next to him was Colonel Weik. Feis asked loudly: "Are you sure that Lieutenant Finn has been rescued?"
"Yes! Sir, he is now safe in our armored vehicle."
"All commandos are ready!"
"Report, the first commando team is ready!"
"Report, the second commando is ready!"
When Faith looked around, he saw helicopters gathering toward a relatively flat area of woods in the ravine on the left.
"Okay, all the commandos will land and surround the woods in order!" Feis shouted. The helicopter spun in the sky and quickly lowered its altitude around the woods. The airdrop rope was lowered and the M army descended along the rope.
"Face, you are such a genius!" Colonel Micron exclaimed, stuffed the cigar into his mouth, lit it, and then exhaled heavily.
"Every army has its weaknesses. In this jungle, even if we surrounded the guerrillas, they might have found unexpected ways to escape, just like the wild animals in the jungle. But today, that's not possible, because their army has a tradition of protecting the people, and they don't think we have a conspiracy here."
