Chapter 46: Night Raid on the Base

  It's late at night, and Zhongguan Town is quiet.

  In the north, winter nights get dark relatively early. Generally after 8 o'clock in the evening it's already quite quiet, except for occasionally hearing one or two barks from dogs, you can't hear any other sounds.

  A team of Japanese soldiers carrying rifles with bayonets walked from south to north along the main street of Zhongguantun, their hobnail boots making a clattering sound on the gravel road, echoing far away in the quiet night.

  Four black shadows appeared in the shade of a wall that Japanese soldiers had just passed by, sticking to the wall motionless, looking like several black geckos.

  The surrounding walls were all shops, and they had already closed their doors at this time. Moreover, Zhongguantun is a small town, and there are no streetlights, except for the occasional sweep of white light from the searchlights set up in the northeast of the town, the whole town was pitch black.

  Four black shadows observed all around, seeing that no one had discovered their tracks, began to move north along the wall surrounding the town, with light footsteps and very agile movements.

  From the south gate of Zhongguantun to the Japanese military base in the north of the town, the frequency of Japanese patrols is once every five minutes. Adding the one minute when the searchlight sweeps by, there won't be much time left for activity.

  The dark shadows seemed to be familiar with the terrain, always taking advantage of the gaps in the Japanese soldiers' patrol routes, slipping through the narrow openings just after the searchlights had passed. In this way, they slowly approached the northern exit of the town.

  Unlike the south of Zhongguan Town, the north of Zhongguan Town was not guarded by Japanese troops. However, the frequency of Japanese patrols from the northern base to here had shortened to once every three minutes, and with the addition of three more searchlights that swept back and forth non-stop, the security level here was much higher than in Zhongguan Town.

  In the north of Zhongguan Town 1.2 kilometers away, it was originally a fertile farmland, but after the Japanese army occupied it, they destroyed the grain that the common people had worked hard to grow and built a wall over three meters high.

  The wall has four sides, forming a square, with each side being three kilometers long, covering an area of nearly ten square kilometers. At the four corners of the wall, there are watchtowers, where Japanese soldiers stand guard day and night, and searchlights constantly sweep back and forth inside and outside the wall, illuminating every nook and cranny brightly.

  Four black shadows appeared silently in the grass beside the north town road, they crouched down in the withered yellow reeds, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next Japanese patrol.

  These few were Qin Yang, Wan Lai Sheng, Hong Yi and one of Hong Yi's subordinates, a bandit named Chen Liu. This time they came to investigate the specific situation of the Japanese military airport.

  During the day, Qin Yang decided to come and investigate the airport. Hong Yi decided to come with him, and Wan Lai Sheng naturally wouldn't let them go alone. His flying knife skills would be able to play out their greatest power in this environment, after all, they weren't going to war but rather scouting, so it was best to not fire a shot if possible, and silently resolve the issue.

  "Qin Yang, when the Japanese patrol comes, the first two are mine, you take care of the third one, and Hong Yi takes care of the last one!" Wan Lai whispered, and the four people had their tasks assigned.

  In the distance, a team of four Japanese soldiers carrying rifles walked while chatting and laughing loudly from time to time. Because they were inside the cordon, they had all relaxed their vigilance. They didn't even realize that they were walking step by step towards the Naihe Bridge.

  Fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters!

  Closer, even closer!

  When the patrol team approached within five meters of Qin Yang, Qin Yang and his men suddenly emerged from the grass thicket and rushed towards the four Japanese soldiers.

  The first Japanese soldier felt a flash of lightning in front of his eyes, and then he found himself flying into the sky, higher and higher, until he could even see his own body falling down below, only to discover that his head had already been severed from his body.

  A thousand voices shouted as one, a knife flashed in the air and struck the head of the first Japanese soldier, immediately followed by a pounce to the second Japanese soldier's face, left hand stretched out, with a loud noise grasping his neck, wrist twisted, steel hook-like fingers pinched and crushed his throat, then dropped the corpse to the ground.

  At the same time, Qin Yang also jumped to the side of the third Japanese soldier, stretched out his hand to grab the Japanese soldier's shoulders, lifted his right knee and hit him in the crotch, then took advantage of the pain to bend down and hit his nose bridge with his right knee again, shattering the Japanese soldier's nasal bone, the shattered bones instantly inserted into the brain, and the Japanese soldier didn't even have time to make a sound before he was finished off.

  In the blink of an eye, Wan Lixiang and Qin Yang had already taken down their respective targets and turned to see Hongyi pulling a dagger out of a Japanese soldier's chest, apparently ending the fight.

  Hongyi wiped the dagger on the body of the Japanese soldier, put it back in the scabbard on his leg and asked Qin Yang: "Qin Yang, what's next?"

  Qin Yang pointed at the Japanese corpses on the ground: "Change into their clothes and try to blend in!"

  "Can we go?" Red Clothes and Wan Lai Sheng both had some doubts. Neither of them spoke Japanese, if they spoke, they would definitely be exposed.

  Although this is a good way to sneak in, the danger factor is too high. If exposed, among these Japanese soldiers heavily surrounded, the four of them will definitely not be able to escape.

  "Don't worry, I can speak Japanese, I'll handle it when the time comes!" Qin Yang said confidently.

  In the early days at the base, the training outline required special forces soldiers to be proficient in the main languages of East and West countries, in order to prevent problems such as not understanding or reading when they went behind enemy lines, which would affect the execution of tasks.

  Qin Yang has already started unbuttoning the Japanese soldier's clothes, and Wan Laiyin and Hong Yi also began to take off the Japanese soldier's clothes and put them on themselves.

  After the busiest time, several people changed into Japanese soldiers carrying 38 large covers. Among the four people, the shortest one, Hongyi, was 1.75 meters tall and did not look big in the military uniform. As for Qin Yang's military uniform, it was a bit tight, but it showed off his bulging muscles even more.

  A few people dragged the bodies of the Japanese soldiers into the bushes and buried them with floating soil, at this time it was already the time for the patrol team to return, so a few people shouldered their rifles and headed towards the Japanese airfield.

  Along the way, they encountered several teams of patrolling Japanese soldiers, but they just exchanged greetings and didn't seem too familiar with each other. This actually relieved Wan Lai's anxiety and Hong Yi's tension.

  In fact, Qin Yang and the others did not know that these Japanese soldiers were temporarily drawn from nearby regiments and were not familiar with each other. Otherwise, they would have been exposed long ago.

  The Japanese army opened a gate in the middle of the south wall, set up a sentry post and machine gun position, with two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun installed, showing the importance they attached to the airport.

  As soon as he entered the wall from the gate, Qin Yang carefully observed his surroundings to the left and right, while quickly memorizing in his mind the intensity of firepower configuration, location of firepower points, control range, ammunition storage location, number of personnel, and movement rules. All these will directly affect the difficulty of the special warfare team's mission execution.

  Inside the wall near the south wall, many temporary simple houses were built, which was the resting place of the Japanese army. The back of the simple house was flattened into a piece of land about four football fields in size. Some Japanese soldiers were busy on the land, measuring data and directing many strong men who had been captured to pour uncoagulated cement onto the land. In the open space near the north wall, an area of about two football fields had solidified cement, with more than a dozen Japanese bombers parked on top.

  Qin Yang paid extra attention to the Japanese military's deployment around the plane, but was disappointed to find that the Japanese defense was extremely tight. It would be very difficult to get close to and destroy the plane without alarming the Japanese soldiers.

  Qin Yang was deep in thought about how to complete the task and unknowingly walked past the campsite, heading towards the airport that was under construction.

  A fat man who looked like the commander of a Japanese army engineering corps shouted at Qin Yang, waving his hand to indicate that he should leave.

  The loud shout of the fat Japanese soldier awakened Qin Yang, he looked around and saw that the surrounding Japanese engineer soldiers were looking at him with suspicious eyes, knowing that he had been too focused just now, causing suspicion among these Japanese soldiers. In a moment of desperation, he took out a box of Old Knife cigarettes from his pocket and continued to walk towards the fat officer.

  "Let's go together!" Qin Yang said in fluent Japanese, smiling and walking over.

  Seeing Qin Yang holding a cigarette, Pangzi's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he quickly wiped the dirt on his hands on his pants. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case handed over by Qin Yang, lit it with the match also handed over by Qin Yang, and took a deep drag.

  "Good! Excellent!" Pangzi patted Qin Yang's shoulder and laughed loudly.

  Hongyi and Wan Lai stood frozen in place, staring at Qin Yang chatting with the Japanese officer, they were all stunned, never expecting that Qin Yang had such a move.

  About five minutes later, Qin Yang walked back with a cigarette in his mouth, behind him was the Japanese officer waving goodbye.

  "Qin Yang, you're awesome!" Wan Lai's low voice said.

  The woman in red also revealed an approving smile.

  Qin Yang's face was very serious, he had just heard some bad news from the Japanese engineering team leader, that one of Japan's two special attack teams, the Kamikaze Special Attack Team, had arrived in Zhongguantown and was now heading to Zunhuacheng to gather intelligence, and was expected to return early tomorrow morning.

  As soon as he thought of this news, Qin Yang felt a sense of urgency in his heart, which meant that they only had two days left. They must blow up the plane and airport within these two days, otherwise it would be impossible when the Kamikaze returned.

  "Kamikaze Special Attack Force, Yamamoto Kazuo!"

  Qin Yang muttered the two names to himself several times, firmly etching them in his mind. He knew that this Divine Wind Special Forces team might become one of his strongest opponents from now on.

  Just then, a Japanese soldier rushed in from the gate and ran into the guard room beside the sentry at the gate. A shrill alarm sounded through the airport, echoing in the night sky.

  The airport was in an uproar, with groups of Japanese soldiers rushing to the gate from all directions. The Japanese soldiers who were resting in the temporary barracks also swarmed out. The entire airport was like a beehive that had been stirred up by hot water, plunged into chaos.

  A Japanese officer rushed out of a house with a command post sign, holding a war sword and shouting loudly: "Haya Kuso, Haya Kuso!"

  The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse and Qin Yang found themselves in danger.
