Chapter 4: Operation "Battle Village" 28. Counterattack
The Chief of Staff of the M Army had a bird's eye view of his afternoon's achievements from a helicopter.
Under the setting sun, the forest fire was still lingering, and the entire mountain range revealed its rugged body, looking hideous and terrifying.
The Chief of Staff dictated an order: "The troops in each village should step up their alert to prevent the Y people from coming down the mountain! We want to trap them all to death on the mountain!"
The sky gradually darkened, and his helicopter swayed leisurely as it descended towards his marching tent.
In the tent, the orderly was playing his favorite jazz music. The unrestrained rhythm made the chief of staff, who just got off the plane, want to shake his body a few times.
This was a good place, with dozens of meters of open space around the tent, making it easy to deploy defense forces. There was also a rushing river under the tent, but because the wells and streams above were poisoned, dead fish would float up from time to time.
The orderly put out food and wine, and waited for the chief of staff to relax on the camp chair. He took a sip of wine, moved, and the adjutant hurried over.
The chief of staff whispered, "The helicopters should fire flares at our strike zone at regular intervals! All mopping-up and reconnaissance teams should strengthen their forces at night!"
The adjutant hurried into the tent and narrowed his eyes again.
The sky gradually darkened. Flares were hanging one after another in the night sky over the mountainous area, lighting up the entire jungle and mountainous area in an uncertain way. From time to time, a gunshot could be heard, and then it quickly disappeared.
In order to kill all the people in Sakaoka, Koro adopted a tactic of advancing step by step. As the people retreated deep into the jungle, his troops also moved to the hill.
Therefore, the old monk and his men decided to climb up from the cliff behind. The old monk was not an impatient person, but that didn't mean he wasn't anxious. This would be fast, as they could appear behind the enemy in an instant and avoid circling in the jungle; secondly, they could meet the enemy in secret.
Below the cliff is a valley with a river, and on both sides of the river are strange rocks and dense thatch.
As soon as the sun set, they entered the thatched grass that was as tall as a person. When it was getting dark, they arrived at the designated cliff climbing site. Suddenly, something happened that made the old monk jump up. The old monk's voice also became excited: "It's Aqing!"
The old monk and his companions found Aqing, who was covered with wounds, hanging on a bunch of thorny vines. The huge impact of falling from the cliff was like a bomb, which spread all over the place. Aqing also started bleeding from his mouth and nose and fell into a coma with only a faint breath.
"Don't touch him!" the old monk shouted loudly, then turned around and said, "Come on, pee in this pot!"
He took out the golden medicine he carried with him. Although they were all men, they were still a little shy to urinate in front of others.
The old monk suddenly got angry: "This is help! What are you waiting for?" When everyone had urinated half of the pot, he grabbed it, dissolved the golden wound medicine, carefully pried open Aqing's mouth, and soaked Aqing in urine.
When he heard the sound of fighting, the blood all over his body rushed out of the window like the bullets from the machine gun in his hand.
There was no soldier who didn't like to follow such a commander. Once they set out, they marched quickly all the way. Even when marching in the jungle, the machine guns were moving forward in big strides, but their bodies were bent, like a galloping cheetah.
Fortunately, most of the people who followed him were special guerrillas. Even if there were a few members of the Ganlingxi local guerrillas, they were not left behind because they were holding light weapons and were used to jungle marching. They marched for more than 30 miles and arrived at the jungle behind Maoli Creek.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the M army had completed their deployment. From time to time, the M army would fire machine guns. But it was completely blind, but it also put a lot of pressure on the civilians hiding in the cave.
Machine Gun sneered and cursed, "Idiot!" He knew that this was the M army's attempt to scare the guerrillas and the common people and to trap everyone to death.
Of course, they also relied on their absolute advantage in weapons, or bullied the guerrillas because they had no heavy weapons or did not dare to attack with heavy weapons.
He raised his hand and looked at his luminous watch: "Check the watch now, it's ten o'clock, I will launch the first attack!"
The first to open fire was Yin Yang Wu Chang, and the village he attacked was Yin Zheng Village. They were divided into two combat teams, attacking from the left and right sides.
Yin Yang Wuchang was originally the team leader of Yinzheng Village, and the leader of another combat team was his deputy in Yinzheng Village, Li Chunjiang. The two were familiar with each other.
When the gunshots alarmed the M Army, the two combat teams had disappeared without a trace, vanishing in the ravines and ridges of the mountainous area where light and darkness varied.
As soon as the M army moved out, they stepped on a landmine. In the middle of the night, they even set one of the M army's tents on fire. When the M army came out, cold bullets flew from all directions. Moreover, these cold bullets were fast and accurate, and they would never fire a second shot after firing, and would move away.
The M Army has no hope of peace this night.
The chief of staff can have no peace, because the tiger is thinking about him.
According to Tiger's arrangement, everyone changed into the uniforms of the M Army and marched towards the Chief of Staff's headquarters in a swaggering manner.
It was already midnight, and almost all the villages were entangled in battles with the guerrillas.
So, they bypassed two villages without encountering any trouble until they arrived at the river outside the Chief of Staff, where they encountered the command center's outer security.
Because they were wearing M Army uniforms, the guards only asked them for passwords first.
As soon as he uttered the word, Gong Yangzi took out his shepherd's rope and leashed him back like a sheep.
The two sentries woke up and saw many guns, so they cooperated and raised their hands immediately. However, through interrogation, they found that it was impossible to get close to the chief of staff.
The tiger stared at the water snake.
The water snake was also watching and turned around: "Why, the boss wants me to go over to the river to do it!"
Tiger shook his head: "Let's all go!"
Water Snake pointed ahead: "There are still two barriers now. The first is the barbed wire on this side of the river and the M Army machine gun position behind the wire. The second is the enemy's second inner line of defense after crossing the river."
Tiger sneered: "Pull the three sentries over here and line them up!"
Three soldiers from the M country were brought over.
Tiger whispered, "Originally, everyone wanted to kill you all to pay for the lives of our people!"
The three M Army soldiers stared at the tiger in a daze.
Tiger suddenly raised the gun in his hand: "Bastard, you owe us your lives! Do you know that?" The three M Army soldiers immediately saw the shadow of death in Tiger's eyes and were at a loss.
Tiger's voice sounded again: "I will give you a chance to live. When we change shifts later, one of you must lead the way for us." He suddenly pointed at someone and asked: "Are you willing?"
The M Army soldier was so frightened that he couldn't answer for a while.
Tiger shook his head, and Li Chunjiang cut off the M soldier's head with just one knife, and blood spurted out.
The two M Army soldiers wanted to shout, but their mouths were covered tightly by the special guerrillas.
Tiger sighed, "According to the prisoner policy, we shouldn't kill these poor people."
Gong Yangzi snorted coldly: "If they don't cooperate with us, they are resisting! They are fighting!" Tiger nodded.
The special guerrillas who were on ambush alert are back.
Tiger turned around slowly: "Speak!"
"We have captured alive the three American devils who came to relieve the guard!"
"Okay!" Tiger showed a happy expression on his face, pointing at the other two M soldiers: "I have many choices now, so if you don't agree, just fight bravely!"
He suddenly grabbed a soldier from the M Army and said, "Tell me, are you willing to lead the way for me?"
The M soldier opened his mouth and was about to shout.
The tiger slapped him with one blow, and his mouth was crooked. He flew up into the air. A guerrilla fighter had already jumped into the air and kicked him in the air, sending him flying again.
Another M Army soldier knelt down at once: "I will lead the way, I will lead the way, please don't kill me!"
Mortar carried the barrel himself, and those who followed him were all experts in artillery. The person he found was Captain O'Neill from Gaoshan Village.
The team leader of Gaoshan Village is the mortar officer, so he is very familiar with this terrain.
After entering the position, he used a telescope to observe with the help of the M Army's flares for only five minutes before he began to issue orders.
"Using mortars to fight guerrilla warfare?" Wu Dayun became excited.
The mortar's bombardment had an obvious effect, and it actually killed the commander of the M Army with one shot!
The American soldiers on the mountain and those coming out of the village gathered together and called out to the helicopter in panic.
The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and asked for a few more shots at those hateful American soldiers.
Wu Dayun even shouted: "Master, if you let me fire five more rounds, the devils will die even more miserably!"
Mortar had no nice words: "Bullshit! Do you think the M Army's helicopters are just for show? I tell you, when it comes to bayonet fighting, the M Country devils are nothing! But that plane is prepared for you!"
He took a look and said, "I now order that the artillery units disperse and move in positions you think are advantageous. Move to a new position after firing a shot, and move towards the jungle while firing."
The helicopter arrived at this time and immediately began to search for the guerrilla gunners, but the gunners had already left, leaving the helicopter hovering in the sky.
The machine gun heard gunshots everywhere, and it would be a lie to say that they were not in a hurry. The hand grenade of Chen Rong's team was finally launched, and the soldiers of the M country swarmed out! The three machine guns under the machine gunner were aimed at the direction in the shape of a finished product.
"Listen carefully, after firing a burst of bullets, the shooter will immediately move to another position, and the rest of you will immediately throw three grenades each!" He shouted, "Fire!"
The three machine guns swept past like harvesters. This time, the M army was hit so hard that they could not retreat and fell down screaming.
When their machine guns and mortars fired over, the three machine gunners had already retreated, holding their machine guns.
The M army had been busy for a long time, and the helicopter came over, but there was no movement here. They rushed forward again cautiously. There was no trace of Chen Rong and his men. The whole mountain was covered with black wounds left by incendiary bombs, but no one was seen.
Gong Yangzi and Shuishe escorted the surrendered M Army soldier across the barbed wire, through the minefield, and into the second line of defense.
The sentry's voice sounded like he was talking in a dream: "Password!"
As soon as the soldier gave the answer, the water snake and the ram moved.
Almost at the same time, the tigers rushed in like lightning along the path they were taking.
The M army really didn't expect the tiger to be so bold. They were all sleeping soundly in the tent. Not only could they not wear their weapons, but they couldn't even wear their military uniforms. They saw the King of Hell in their dreams.
The water snake took the two people and immediately went down to the river.
After a moment, an American soldier shouted under the tiger's control: "Fish, hi, what a big fish!"
The soldier standing guard on the opposite side was startled and looked over here.
The Tiger rifle hit the buttocks of the American soldier, and the soldier shouted hurriedly: "Quick, I caught a fish, and it struggled to run to your side."
The soldier from Country M was also bored, so he walked towards the river with a flashlight.
"Hurry up, get to the shore, don't let it jump off!"
The soldier suddenly became extremely quick.
A dark figure in the river was making the water splash.
The soldier suddenly became happy: "Here I come!" and rushed to the river.
The dark shadow suddenly jumped up and grabbed him into the river.
There was a noise, and soon, the M Army soldiers in the river also shouted hurriedly: "Brothers, come quickly, big fish!"
The two sentries who were on guard with him also ran out from the dark and rushed down the river bank. Suddenly, a few black stars appeared in the river. They were hidden weapons, which the water snake used to shoot big fish when he was a child. They pierced the necks of the two men accurately.
The two men grabbed their necks and struggled hard, but they could not make any sound or breathe, and they rolled into the river!
The old monk worked hard for a while and finally got a result.
Ah Qing's breathing gradually became stronger and his eyes opened.
At this time, some soldiers had already climbed up the cliff, dropped the rope, and rushed up. The old monk felt the pulse and nodded: "No worries for now!"
When he turned around, he saw the last soldier climbed up the rope and reached out to grab him down: "You can't leave. Carry Aqing back to the headquarters."
The soldier immediately shouted: "Boss, you know that the one who died was my good friend Meng Feixiong!"
The old monk sneered: "He is also my comrade-in-arms! Either you go to command the battle and I will carry Aqing back; or you carry Aqing back and I will command the battle!"
The soldier had no choice but to reply: "Boss, you are making fun of me."
"You all need to grow into commanders. Do you have the ability today?"
"No!"
"Obey the order!"
"yes!"
The old monk climbed up the cliff, stepped onto a huge rock, and looked around. Under the flares, he saw that Koro's mopping-up team was divided into five parts. He was in the middle, and the other four parts occupied four hilltops, surrounding him in the middle like a moon surrounded by stars. The hilltop in the middle was the highest, which was just right for observing the entire burned jungle area, and it was also convenient for him to control and command the troops.
The old monk couldn't help but curse, "Old fox!" Then he sneered, "It's a pity that you ran into a real hunter like me!"
The old monk ignored everyone's gazes and instead carefully observed the surroundings. After making some arrangements, he nodded and said, "This group of rocks is about a mile in size, which is convenient for hiding and moving mortars! Come, divide into two groups based on the guns, and each gun should have at least six gun positions to facilitate the movement of the mortars." Someone had already muttered, "Other villages are in chaos!"
The old monk immediately scolded: "Killing a pig or killing its asshole, everyone has their own ideas!"
The tigers crossed the river quietly one by one.
It was midnight and everyone was fast asleep. The chief of staff, who was closely monitoring the situation in each village, did not expect Tiger to visit him.
Tiger and his men, dripping wet, strode towards the brightly lit tent of the chief of staff.
"Password!" the last guard outside the tent asked loudly.
The tiger said, "Kill!"
The soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"
Tiger didn't care about anything and rushed into the tent. He stuck to the chief of staff like a ghost and kicked the frightened orderly to Gong Yangzi.
Tiger whispered in his ear: "Mr. Officer, I hope you will cooperate with me happily."
The chief of staff looked at this group of Y army soldiers who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, and couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a long sigh. He knew that he had encountered a group of desperate criminals who were not afraid of death.
He nodded: "I personally will not resist and will be your prisoner. That's all!"
Tiger smiled, turned around and waved his hand: "Put on the walkie-talkie, let's retreat!"
The troops quickly left the tents and retreated across the river along the same route.
The commanders of the M Army in each village received a strange order from the chief of staff: "On behalf of the Y People's Army, I warn you: Lay down your weapons!"
The news spread like the wind and reached Brigadier General Sinnar.
At the same time, the troops in various villages that were carrying out the Chief of Staff's "Full Moon Storm" operation were suddenly thrown into chaos. All the troops retreated and directly requested to withdraw under the cover of aircraft at dawn.
Brigadier General Sinar was wheeled back to the Ganling West headquarters.
He was very frustrated and angry, like a gambler who had lost everything. He stared wildly at all the staff around him: "Who can tell me what to do?"
Oden shouted, "I will personally go and fetch my commandos, and then let me recapture the three strategic villages!"
Sinar stared at him: "Only success!" He waved his hand again, drove everyone out of the room, and stared blankly at the window that was about to light up.
Tiger looked at Captain Hong and asked, "What do you want to do now?"
"Consolidate the strategic village and meet the enemy's attack!"
Tiger shook his head: "I think the main force should retreat and hide. Transfer personnel from three strategic villages and leave an empty village for the enemy!"
Tiger looked at Captain Hong who was puzzled and continued, "Guerrilla warfare is a war that is carried out when the enemy is strong and we are weak, because we do not have the strength to fight the enemy head-on. Therefore, every battle we fight requires surprise! To put it simply, when the enemy thinks he is strong, we try to hit him. When the enemy is on high alert because of frustration, we have to hide instead!"
Captain Hong couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
Tiger continued, "Our victory this time has established your foothold in this area! However, complete victory is still a long way to go!"
Captain Hong nodded and said, "Can we keep Shuishe as well? You know he has been leading the local guerrillas since the beginning."
Tiger nodded: "Okay, but you have to let him and the old monk go to Huishan after the headquarters' rapid troops come to carry out the operation of destroying the strategic village."
Captain Hong continued, "When do you think the M Army's attack on the three strategic villages will begin?"
Tiger said in a deep voice: "I have decided to launch a lightning strike on Ganling West to buy you time. As long as Sinar hesitates, the main offensive force from the headquarters will arrive!"
Captain Hong nodded: "I won't embarrass you!"
Tiger nodded: "The places we pass by should become places where news of victory is continuously passed on!"
"Yes!" Captain Hong's dark face was tense.
"Relax, bro!"
The troops rested for a day on Meixi Island. That night, the bombardment of three strategic villages from Ganlingxi began.
The soldiers woke up from their sleep one after another, but the iron discipline made them dare not ask: What will we do?
At ten o'clock at night, everyone was woken up.
The autumn moon over Mae Sai Island was exceptionally bright, and everyone gathered fully armed on the high hill of Mae Sai Island.
Tiger looked at the soldiers who had basically recovered their strength after eating and sleeping enough, and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't blame me for being cruel. I should have given you more time to rest after such continuous fighting! But we have to fight this battle! We are a special guerrilla force, so we should have a will and quality that is different from ordinary people!" He suddenly shouted: "Come on, Captain Li, start a song!"
Li Ying strode forward and took the lead. Immediately, more than 200 men shouted in unison, and the troops set off to the sound of singing.
The troops followed the tiger's pace and moved faster and faster. Before twelve o'clock, they had walked out of the mountainous area and set foot on the road that the M army forced the people to build in the west of Ganling.
Suddenly, a white light shone over. The soldiers reflexively dodged, lay down, and raised their guns. However, there were two people standing still. They were Lao Hu and Li Ying.
The ones emitting snow-white lights were not one but three armored vehicles of the M Army.
Li Ying's sweet laughter was heard. Tiger walked towards the armored vehicles with his head held high. Li Ying's deer-like figure naturally made her run faster. She climbed onto the first armored vehicle first and announced loudly, "I am a woman, so I will take the first armored vehicle!"
Tiger nodded: "That's no problem!"
"I want you to open it!"
“This is even more possible!”
"Hey, hey, this is not allowed, absolutely not allowed!" An egg biter emerged from the armored vehicle and shouted loudly.
The soldiers suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the three tanks.
Tiger jumped onto the armored vehicle: "Comrades, today we are going to attack the M Army's transport team, and then use the M Army's mechanized weapons to mechanizedly strike a lightning strike on the M Army in Ganlingxi!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
The ram roared, "You still like playing like this?"
"Is it fun?" the tiger asked loudly.
"It's fun!" all the soldiers shouted.
