Chapter 5 Jungle Special Operations 2. Brave Heart
Huishan is a big city in Country Y and an important airport. It is surrounded by the Golden Bay on one side and the long Huishan Mountains on the other.
The M Army deployed the largest force of special forces stationed in Y here, and built strategic villages around it to prevent guerrillas from infiltrating. Due to its prosperity, Huishan is also a place frequented by bandits such as the mountain bandits.
Sent by Tiger, Li Yuanxin and the bandits as the advance scouts of the special guerrillas have been in Huishan for more than 20 days. They have two tasks, one is to set up their own camp in Huishan, and the other is to scout the defense situation of Huishan.
Li Yuanxin was obviously better at setting up the guerrilla camp, while the bandits preferred to go into the mountain city to find out the situation.
They agreed to contact each other every five days, but eight days passed and Li Yuanxin had no news of the bandits.
After listening to Li Yuanxin's narration, Tiger turned around and looked at Li Ying.
Li Ying nodded: "For this kind of work, if someone cannot be contacted on time, we will assume that he has had an accident."
Tiger looked at the huge rocks on the Qianren Peak that were illuminated by the afternoon sun and said, "What's the biggest possibility?"
Li Ying shook his head: "There are basically only two possibilities, being arrested or being sacrificed."
Li Yuanxin grabbed the tiger and said, "Guo Shanzei is a man of honor. We must save him."
Tiger stared at Li Yuanxin and asked: "Do the bandits know about our camp?"
"came!"
Li Ying stood up suddenly. Almost at the same time, a series of bombs exploded in the huge rocks around the camp. Then, a group of helicopters came from all directions to the Qianren Peak camp like crows smelling a rotten corpse.
Of course, the soldiers were all awake at this moment. They jumped up one by one, holding their weapons in their hands, first occupying the terrain they had already checked, and then putting on their clothes. Everything was done quickly and in an orderly manner.
Gong Yangzi, Qianliyan and Dazui quickly gathered three platoons of special guerrillas.
The tiger climbed up to the top of the highest boulder like a civet cat, and the telescope showed the M army everywhere. In other words, this was a premeditated encirclement.
Bombs from helicopters also dropped, carpet bombing bit by bit. Combined with the artillery bombardment, the entire Qianren Peak was filled with deafening explosions and smoke.
Tiger turned over and quickly slid down the boulder: "According to the M Army's practice, they will not fight to the death with us! Therefore, their ground forces will have to attack for some time." He glared, "Now there is only one chance left. If they don't fight to the death, we will!"
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
Tiger's eyes glowed with passion: "Everyone, divide into five-man combat teams. I will lead the third row in the middle, the second row will be led by Thousand-Li Eyes on the left, and the first row will be led by Gongyangzi on the right. You are not allowed to stop for any reason. You must rush to the main peak of Huishan Mountain and carve a bloody path!"
Everyone disappeared in the smoke in an instant.
The attacks from the enemy's artillery and helicopters became more and more fierce, and air bombs also rained down. The huge impact force made the entire Thousand People Peak tremble.
Tiger and his special guerrillas were already moving under fire, braving the artillery fire and rushing rapidly toward higher peaks on the Thousand-Man Peak.
This was really a risk. Anyone should hide and avoid the bombardment during the bombardment. Besides, it was not impossible to hide in the stone forest. However, Tiger and his men advanced like dancing in the explosion of the shells. Some soldiers were injured, but the whole army did not stop and continued to advance.
As soon as a round of artillery fire exploded, Tiger and his men rushed out from the thick smoke. The artillery fire roared again, and the soldiers threw themselves under the rocks one by one. As the explosion sounded, their figures were running again.
This was a retreat under fire that violated the norm. Later, when Tiger summarized his work, he explained it this way: For an old soldier, stopping and charging to avoid shells are the same. As long as you can hear the whistling of shells and make the right judgment. But charging under the sound of shells exploding requires a brave heart!
None of the members of the special guerrilla team were afraid of battle. At least this group of people all had a brave heart.
This was something the M Army had not expected. They were waiting for the attack that had been prepared long ago.
It was Major Howard who was flanking from the main peak of Huishan. He shrugged his shoulders. He felt that the war was becoming less and less challenging because of the advanced artillery fire, especially the incendiary bombs, which almost surrounded the entire mountain and even burned the jungle around him. Suddenly, he felt that the fire around him suddenly came alive.
Yes, Tiger and his men emerged from the fire, and they came face to face with the M army.
The M Army was caught off guard. Their men and bullets arrived like a whirlwind without stopping, and almost tore through the defense line in an instant.
Howard was a veteran. He grabbed the intercom and loudly reported the situation of the guerrillas' assault. He suggested: "The guerrillas are heading for the main peak. I request that the helicopters immediately fly to the main peak to intercept them! The artillery group immediately starts a carpet bombardment from the main peak, and I will immediately lead the troops to follow and pursue. The rest of the troops can use helicopters to airdrop to my original area and the main peak and attack each other!"
This is obviously a cruel method.
After more than ten minutes, helicopters had gathered at the main peak and artillery groups also began to attack the main peak.
Of course, a man couldn't outrun an airplane. The fierce bombardment from the main peak stopped Tiger in his tracks, and he issued an order to stop moving forward. Everyone looked at Tiger.
The tiger looked at the tall trees around him and suddenly smiled: "The enemy wants us to stop and rest."
Li Ying whispered, "The enemy will definitely catch up with us."
The tiger stared at the big mouth.
Big Mouth shook his head: "I also want to stop and beat up these cowards. However, we don't have enough ammunition and manpower."
The tiger nodded: "The enemy thinks so too!" He stared at Gong Yangzi.
Gong Yangzi narrowed his eyes and said, "The tiger wants to attack the enemy by surprise?"
The tiger waved and everyone gathered around. After he whispered something, everyone disappeared into the jungle in a short while.
Howard waited until another batch of planes arrived, which was a squadron of special forces, before he began the pursuit.
Now he had two squadrons of special forces, facing the fleeing Y Army. And according to his visual estimation, there were less than 200 soldiers in the past, two-thirds less than his current strength, three to one.
The two squadrons chased from both sides alternately, and the progress was very fast. As they were approaching the helicopter and artillery fire blocking area, there was still no trace of the guerrillas, and Howard couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
According to the report from the helicopter overhead, this was only a four-kilometer-long jungle platform with cliffs on both sides. The only way to escape was through the main peak, and the troops on the main peak had found no trace of the enemy.
Howard looked up at the setting sun that was about to set, and suddenly gritted his teeth, grabbed the intercom, and shouted, "I will evacuate this jungle in 20 minutes. I suggest you attack with air bombs and then throw incendiary bombs immediately!"
Twenty minutes passed quickly. The M army's retreat speed was amazing, and soon, the place was silent again.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
The air bomb was a terrifying weapon. The whole jungle seemed to have experienced a storm. Stones, grass and even trees were uprooted and flew into the air.
The huge explosion made Howard's special forces who were far away from him scream in pain. Then the incendiary bombs fell one after another, and the jungle fire swept up. Below the main peak and above Howard's position, everything was covered in the sky-high fire. It was already dark, but the jungle fire made it still bright.
Howard ordered his soldiers to build fortifications. He did not want any guerrillas who had escaped to escape again.
The fire burned until 2 a.m. before slowly dying down. Howard checked the soldiers on duty in the blocking fortifications for the last time. But he knew in his heart that even if the guerrillas were still in the jungle, they would have been roasted long ago. However, he was still in no hurry to attack. He wanted to wait until daybreak, so he also went to sleep.
The tiger said, "Now we can go!"
He was sitting on a big tree fifty meters away from Howard's tent and couldn't sleep because he was afraid of waking up.
He and his special guerrillas hid in the trees of their choice in groups of five when Howard came up. This was really a bold and heart-pounding plan.
He was right in front of the enemy's eyes, of course, they chose a big tree, and they couldn't see him just by looking up. But as long as one person was exposed, it would be a bloody battle.
The key is the second step. When the enemy retreated, they also retreated with the enemy, sticking to Howard like a plaster.
Fortunately, these guys were so brave that they would never blink if you asked them to touch the enemy's head; fortunately, they were all good at jungle transfer. So, they succeeded, and it seemed easy to do it.
They watched Howard and his men cook, eat, poop, pee, change shifts, and sleep from the tree. No one complained. The most uncomfortable thing was that they were hungry when the enemy was eating. The second most uncomfortable thing was that they had to endure the enemy peeing.
Li Ying whispered in Tiger's ear: "Once you get rid of the enemy, I will make you something delicious!" Now everything is finally over.
The tiger made three night bird calls, and the guerrillas understood that it was the tiger's signal to retreat.
Tiger and the soldiers finally escaped from the encirclement of the M Army. They completed a thrilling transfer from Howard's sleeping side. At this time, they were going down to the valley bottom from the other side of the Thousand Man Peak and heading towards the guerrillas' second backup camp along another mountain road.
A heavy question was placed before him: Who revealed the guerrilla camp? Did the bandits really betray the enemy because they could not bear the punishment? The key point was, what would it mean to continue to the second secret camp? The troops followed the deep trench and stopped at dawn.
This was a hunter's village with only one family. The hunter was a kind-hearted old man. When the tiger saw him, he was chopping wood. He took the initiative to call out: "Hey, I haven't seen guests for three years, and now you are here in such a large group!"
The tiger had originally taken a fancy to the terrain here and was planning to camp in the field outside the village, but he did not expect the owner to say anything and not do anything.
The hunter shouted, "I know you are the guerrillas of the New Army! You belong to the people of Country Y! If I don't entertain you, how can I live on this land?"
When they got inside the village, they found that it was even bigger than it looked from the outside! The hunter shouted and all the men and women came out. They immediately provided hot water and hot meals, which made the guerrillas feel like they were in heaven. The tiger also woke up from his sleepiness and started chatting with the hunter while drinking tea.
