Chapter Forty-Four: Night Raid

  Wu Bing returned to the temporary rest place of the special warfare team and immediately gathered his subordinates to arrange the next action task.

  The commanders and deputy commanders of the three detachments were summoned together, Wu Bing conveyed some contents of the meeting and tonight's night raid action to them. And issued the division's order, enter the enemy war zone to carry out harassment and destruction, assassination and abduction, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, stealing intelligence and other activities.

  Several team leaders were excited after hearing this, and one of them said: It's finally our turn to show off.

  Alright, now I'm starting to assign the mission of infiltrating enemy-occupied territory. After entering enemy-occupied territory, Snake Team, led by Seven Steps Snake, will primarily focus on destroying the enemy's arsenal and other military supply bases, with secondary objectives being to sabotage their key military installations.

  The captain of the squad, Seven Steps Snake, nodded and said: Understood.

  Wu Bing continued to say to the second team leader Tian Lang: The main task of your second team is to find and destroy the enemy's artillery positions and raid their logistics transportation. The secondary task is to conduct reconnaissance on the enemy at all times and report to the division headquarters.

  The captain of the second team, Tian Lang, said: Understood.

  I will also give each of you three sets of identification codes, for the department to verify the important intelligence we send out. The detailed action plan will be determined by itself after entering the enemy's war zone, depending on the situation. The operation time is five days, and whether the operation is completed or not, it must be withdrawn after five days.

  Enemy-occupied territory.

  Looking at Wu Bing, he didn't say anything else. Deputy Captain Zhao Lianhai asked impatiently: White-headed Eagle, they have already divided their main and secondary tasks when entering the enemy-occupied area, what are we going to do when we enter the enemy-occupied area?

  Wu Bing looked at him and said: Bald eagle, you don't have to worry, our mission is much more difficult than theirs.

  "What's going on?" Deputy Captain Zhao Lianhai, nicknamed Bald Eagle, asked anxiously.

  We must penetrate deep into the enemy's rear and strike at their command organs, paralyzing their command system. We will carry out a "beheading action" against the enemy commanders, Wu Bing said.

  "Operation Beheading" Ha! This is how a war should be fought. Said Deputy Captain Tu Zong.

  Wu Bing said to the several deputy commanders: "Everyone is not a new soldier, and common sense on the battlefield doesn't need me to say much. Before setting off, I'll give you a few words of advice: 'Be bold but meticulous, pay attention to details, avoid the strong and attack the weak, be decisive in your actions, remember these words and they will keep you all safe.'"

  Come back alive with all limbs intact.

  The headquarters also issued a radio station for us, which was carried by the second team and sent intelligence to the headquarters at any time.

  I also have some timed bombs here, which may be used by a team to destroy the enemy's arsenal or material base. As he said, he took out ten timed bombs from his backpack and 'handed' them over to the team leader, Seven Steps Snake, and taught them how to use them.

  After everything was set up, everyone went down to start their own preparations.

  In the dead of night, the officers and men of the 51st Division quietly set out. The 51st Division used the 135th Brigade as a reserve force, the 151st Brigade as the main striking force, and divided into three routes - east, west, and central - to launch a lightning-fast raid on the enemy in Luo Zhuang Town and several surrounding villages.

  Wu Bing and others "mixed" in the advancing troops on the east road, following the rapid advance of the troops towards the R army's position. For a time, gunfire rang out and killing cries were incessant. The enemy facing them was the 3rd Division of the R Army, which was formed by young students from Nagoya. Although they were no match for the 11th Division

  The R army, which had been fighting for several days, was somewhat on guard, but most of the exhausted sentries still clutched their rifles and fell asleep. When Wu's soldiers and the 151st Brigade's troops rushed up to them, many devils saw King Yama in their dreams.

  Wu Bing and others chased a group of devils to the east of Luo Store, near a big river called White River. They saw those devils jumping into the river one after another. Later, they heard the devils in front shouting: "Ba Ga, this is not a road but a big river." Wu Bing and others arrived at the riverbank

  Most of the devils were shouting "Save us" while flailing about in the water, only a small number of them tried to swim to the other shore.

  Wu Bing shouted: Wipe out the devils in the river for me! Then came a burst of submachine gun fire and rifle shots, the devils who were shot fell into the river one after another to become turtle shells.

  After finishing off this batch of devils, Deputy Captain Bald Eagle asked: These devils can't swim, so why are they all rushing to jump into the river?

  Wu Bing sneered: Anyone with a little common sense knows that under the starry night sky, the river water will be slightly white, and from a distance, it looks like a road. This group of idiots must have mistaken this big river for a road. Without choosing a path, they jumped onto this "road" - the river they thought was a road.

  After mocking the brainless R soldiers, Wu Bing said to his team members: Quickly clean up the battlefield and collect the R army uniforms and equipment. We will have a use for them when we enter enemy-occupied territory.

  The team members immediately turned back to the occupied position and soon began to search for the devils' clothes and firearms. Due to the fact that the devils were generally short during this period, Wu Bing and several tall team members searched for half a day before finding suitable clothes. During which they also looked for R military uniforms

  Armed team members, almost fought with soldiers from other companies. Fortunately, the commander of the 305th Regiment, Zhang Lingfu, arrived and learned about some action tasks that Wu Bing and others would take next, stopping the reckless behavior of his subordinates.

  Also helped Wu Bing and others to make up for the lack of equipment materials in a very short period of time, Wu Bing said excitedly: Thank you, Officer Zhang, for your help. Otherwise, I don't know when we can make up for these things.

  Zhang Lingpu said: These are our own affairs, you go this time danger is heavy need to be more careful. Wish you a victorious start and success upon arrival.

  Wu Bing didn't say much, and gave Zhang Lingfu a military salute. He ordered his subordinates to pack up their uniforms and guns, and quickly advanced towards the Japanese-occupied area, soon disappearing into the dark night.

  Looking at the receding back of Wu Bing and others, an unclear officer asked: Team leader, where are they going?

  Zhang Lingfu slanted his eyes and stared at him, saying: Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, why so many words. As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the formation.

  The night cover had a good shelter for Wu Bing and others' action, quickly passing through the forest towards the actual control area of the R army. After a night of rapid insertion, before dawn, Wu Bing and others entered a dense forest to hide. After releasing the sentry, they opened...

  A map with me, I found where I am now on the map.

  Duanjin Bridge

  Wu Bing gathered the captains of the other two teams and said: We have now entered enemy-occupied territory, our current location is near the dense forest of Duanjin Bridge, you choose two directions to act in three directions.

  The two looked at the map and Qi She said: Our snake team will head north to find the enemy plane, attack the enemy in front of our 51st division and reduce their pressure.

  Heavenly Wolf continued: Then we will proceed eastward for reconnaissance, seeking out the enemy's artillery positions and logistics transport teams to strike at them.

  Wu Bing glanced at each other and put away the map, saying: "Then our squad will head south, straight to Yuepu to see if there is an enemy command center here."

  Alright, let's split up now! Find a safe place to rest first and act at night. Then he smiled and said: You two kids have been assigned tasks, if there are any targets worth hitting, don't hesitate to give him a surprise attack.

  The two men laughed and said: Don't worry, White-headed Eagle! We'll bring you the devil general's sword as a gift.

  Get out! Wu Bing said with a smile.

  The three teams set off in their respective directions after gathering together.
