Chapter 27: Sniping (Part 1) (Urgently Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  But it's easy to say, hard to do!

  For this little devil Yūgen, Yue Weihan can be said to hate him to the bone, but wanting to knock him out is by no means easy. Just looking at the alert level and security strength of the little devil's garrison can tell you that. Even if you go with a determination to die, it's useless, and you can't even get close to Yūgen's barracks. How can you fight?

  "His grandma, or else get rid of him?" Chi Chengfeng had already read something from Yue Weihan's scorching eyes, and at this time he also became somewhat restless. "If we can get rid of this big official, it will definitely greatly undermine the morale of the little devils, and at the same time it will also greatly boost the fighting spirit of our National Army brothers."

  "What to do?" Cao Xinglong said, "Last time we were able to take out the enemy's lieutenant general and division commander, it was because they happened to be in the arsenal, and Dagen just happened to have an 81mm light mortar. But now we don't have any artillery, and the enemy is not in the arsenal either, what can we use to take out the little devil's big officer?"

  "Yes, this is no easy matter." Niu Dageng also nodded his head in agreement.

  Yue Weihan thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good solution. He immediately stretched out his hand to Chi Chengfeng and said, "Cigarette!"

  "Hey, grandma, didn't you say you don't smoke?" Chi Chengfeng reluctantly pulled out his last half pack of cigarettes.

  "Cut the nonsense!" Yue Weihan snatched the cigarette from Chi Chengfeng's hand, pulled one out and put it in his mouth, then ordered in a tone that brooked no argument, "Light it up!"

  "What's with the old lady, smoking like a young punk?" Chi Chengfeng muttered to himself, but he didn't dare say it out loud. Instead, he hastily lit a cigarette for Yue Weihan.

  Yue Weihan took a deep breath, feeling the pungent sensation of thick smoke churning in his lungs, but his mind began to stir more actively than ever before.

  It turns out that Yue Weihan was not a big smoker in his previous life, because smoking is not a good habit. Old smokers are prone to coughing, which is nothing in peacetime, but if you're deep behind enemy lines for special operations, this cough can expose your tracks and cost you your life! So, for the sake of his life, Yue Weihan rarely smoked.

  But I have to admit, this cigarette is indeed good stuff, especially when you're in trouble.

  After finishing a cigarette, Yue Weihan already had an idea. He immediately turned his head to Cao Xinglong and others and said: "Dalong, you guys come over, I have something to tell you."

  Several people scattered around quietly approached Yue Weihan's side.

  Yue Weihan said in a low voice: "Brothers, I've made up my mind. No matter what, we're going to pull off this job!"

  Cao Xinglong's face changed instantly and he said: "General, are you really going to take action? This is not a joke, we must be cautious!"

  "I've made up my mind." Yue Weihan's eyes gleamed with malice, and he continued in a sinister tone, "If we hadn't caught him, that would be one thing. But since we have, how can we let the little devil get away scot-free? No discussion, let's do it!"

  "Damn it!"

  "His grandma, still mentioning this makes him feel better."

  "This little brat deserves a good scare."

  Yu Weihan's words fell, and Chi Chengfeng and others immediately followed suit.

  Cao Xinglong was still worried and advised, "Ying Zuo, this little devil's vigilance is too strong, a sneak attack will be difficult to succeed! Moreover, whether the sneak attack succeeds or not, our whereabouts will definitely be exposed afterwards. At that time, the devils' large troops will surround us from all sides, and it will be even harder for us to break through."

  "I know this," said Yue Weihan nodding, "so we must split up and act separately."

  Cao Xinglong exclaimed: "Split up and act separately?"

  "Alright." Yue Weihan said in a low voice, "Dalung, from now on you are the acting commander of Baoshan Camp. Your mission is to safely lead the brothers across the Yangtze River! Once we reach the north bank, quickly go find the main force. If I haven't arrived to meet up with everyone within half a month, that means I've gone with Old Commander, and the brothers won't need to wait anymore."

  After that, Yue Weihan turned to Chi Chengfeng and Niu Dagen: "Old Chi, Big Root, you two must strictly follow the military orders of Da Long, dare to disobey, when I come back, absolutely will not be lenient!"

  "How about you?"

  "Grandma, why don't you walk with us?"

  "We won't leave, you won't leave, and our brothers won't leave either."

  Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng and Niu Dageng were shocked upon hearing this and all shouted out in unison.

  "Shut up!" Yue Weihan coldly shouted, "This is an order, it must be carried out. Otherwise, I'll kill you all right now!"

  Chi Chengfeng stiffened his neck and shouted: "You, grandma, why don't you just kill old Chi right now?"

  Yue Weihan suddenly raised the makeup box and pressed it against Chi Chengfeng's forehead, then clicked open the machine head, and shouted with a fierce aura: "You think I dare not kill you?"

  "Let's go!"

  "Long live the Emperor!"

  Cao Xinglong and Niu Dageng were shocked and immediately knelt down in front of Yue Weihan.

  "Mind your own business, don't bother looking for old Chi to have fun, be careful not to get burned."

  "You're a scoundrel!" Yue Weihan put away his gun, saying in an ill-tempered tone, "Brothers, you've all seen the situation at the enemy's garrison up ahead. A full-on attack would be suicidal, and a surprise raid is completely impossible. Thinking it over, there's only one possible way to succeed!"

  "What's going on?" Niu Dageng asked anxiously.

  "Snipe!" Yue Weihan stamped his foot on the small hill, saying in a stern voice, "Find two brothers with good marksmanship to hide here and wait for the little devil's commander to show up, then give him another shot! So many people are useless, you few can't help much either. With me and Hanlin staying behind, it's enough."

  Chi Chengfeng and others were instantly speechless, as for marksmanship, they really had no way to compare with Yue Weihan.

  Cao Xinglong thought for a moment, then said: "Even if you and the Hanlin's marksmanship is excellent, it's impossible to get a chance to snipe the little devil's commander. This little devil's commander must be hiding in the command center all the time, and when he goes out, he will definitely ride in an armored car. You can't even see his shadow, how can you snipe?"

  "Good question," said Yue Weihan. "Dalong, have you thought about it? The one in front should just be the temporary command post of the devils. They can't stay here for too long, at most half a month. The little devil's command post must also move forward, and when the time comes, they will definitely take the train from here to go to the front line."

  Cao Xinglong frowned and said, "What's that got to do with anything? The armored train the devil commander is on must be an armored one."

  "It's not going well," said Yue Weihan calmly. "The little devil's commander is hiding in the command post, and we really can't do anything about it. When he goes out, he will definitely ride in an armored car, and we still can't do anything about it. On the train, the carriage he rides in must also be an armored one, and we can only stand by and watch..."

  After saying this, Yue Weihan's tone suddenly turned sinister and said: "But the little devils want to get on the train, they must first get out of the armored car? At this time, it is our only chance to snipe at the devil's commander!"

  Before Cao Xinglong could speak, Yue Weihan said: "Dalong, have you noticed the terrain around us? The enemy's temporary command post is only connected to the Shanghai-Nanjing railway by one highway. The hillock we are standing on is directly opposite the intersection of the highway and the Shanghai-Nanjing railway, within a straight-line distance of less than 500 meters, completely within the effective range of our standard rifles!"

  Cao Xinglong said firmly: "Ying Zuoye, it's okay to arrange an ambush, but you can't stay behind!"

  "Yes, you bring the brothers and retreat first." Hua Hanlin also said, "With me here, it's enough. Although my marksmanship is not as good as yours, I'm still confident at a distance of 500 meters."

  Yue Weihan said: "No way, this time the ambush is of great importance, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

  Hua Hanlin's marksmanship was quite good, but he didn't know how to disguise himself. If he were really left alone, there wouldn't even be a chance for him to draw his gun.

  "But, tent..."

  "There's nothing else," Yue Weihan said coldly. "I've already said what I needed to say, now carry out the orders!"

  Cao Xinglong gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up straight, saluting Yue Weihan with a military salute, then turned around and strode away.

  Just a few steps away, Cao Xinglong stopped and turned back, saying: "Ying Zu, we'll wait for you in Jiangbei. If you don't come, we won't leave!"

  Chi Chengfeng and Niu Dageng's expressions also became extremely solemn, they too saw that Yue Weihan was absolutely serious. At this time, if they still dared to drag things out, the captain might really dare to shoot them dead. The two men didn't dare say another word, and followed Cao Xinglong as he quickly disappeared into the darkness.
