Chapter 52 Ambush

  North of Zhongguan Town, outside the Japanese airfield.

  In the northwest of Zhongguan Town, about two or three kilometers away from the airport, there is a forest that stretches westward and becomes increasingly higher in elevation until it reaches the edge of the forest, where it turns into a steep cliff. The nearly 80-degree slope and relatively smooth rock surface make people gasp in awe at the sight.

  At first, Chen Liu was sacrificed in front of this forest.

  In the late winter and early spring of the north, it was already very late at 8 o'clock in the evening. Today is the end of the month, there are no stars or moon in the sky, and everything around is pitch black, only vaguely visible to see the scenery around me.

  It's possible that they thought no one could come down from the nearly vertical cliff, so there were fewer Japanese patrols here than elsewhere, and only one searchlight which occasionally cast a weak beam in this direction before withdrawing again.

  The Japanese patrol had just passed by, and the forest fell into a silence.

  Suddenly, a black shadow emerged on the cliff, in the dark night, as if it was a silhouette of the same black color, only with a slightly different shade.

  A dark figure crouched at the top of the cliff, carefully listening to the movements below. After confirming that everything was normal, he tied a rope to a tree on the cliff and leaped down from the cliff, his body resembling a soaring eagle as it spiralled downwards, using several rocks on the wall for leverage before landing lightly on the ground.

  As soon as his feet touched the ground, the black figure rolled on the spot, first buffering the impact of the landing, and then took off the submachine gun from behind his back, vigilantly searching around.

  Everything is fine!

  He turned around, and the black shadow pulled down the hood on his face, revealing a black face covered with camouflage paint, a pair of bronze bell-like eyes flashing with cold light.

  "Everything is normal, execute the first plan!" The black shadow notified the mountain ridge through the communication device it was carrying.

  Dozens of black shadows soon appeared on the mountain ridge, dressed in the same attire as the first person, wearing black and green special combat uniforms, all with SOMI 1931 submachine guns slung over their shoulders, Browning pistols holstered on their legs, and several hand grenades hanging from their waists.

  With a practiced motion, they secured the ropes and slid down the cliff face as if it were a ski slope rather than a treacherous precipice.

  Dai'er walked out of the crowd and came to the first black figure, asking in a low voice: "Tie Tou, what's the situation ahead?"

  It turned out that the first one to slide down the cliff was Tie Tou, the leader of the special warfare team, and later on, it was his special warfare team that slid down to the foot of the cliff.

  Since leaving the Wang Yuan's house, they tried to bypass the west gate of Zhongguantun. Here is the way to the east mountain on the west side of the town, the east mountain is steep and precipitous, with cliffs all around, only one road leads to the west gate of Zhongguantun, except for this there are no roads leading to the airport in the south or north of the town. Therefore, the Japanese army only arranged two fake police sentries at the west gate of the town, and did not inspect people coming and going.

  They easily left the town and entered the Dàdōng Mountains along the mountain road. In the afternoon, referring to the topographic map provided by Wáng Yuán, they already knew that the cliffs at the northwest intersection of Dàdōng Mountain and the town were the best entry point. The steep cliffs might be an insurmountable natural barrier for others, but for the special forces, it was very easy.

  As expected, under the mountain cliff, the Japanese defense was much laxer. They were able to let Tie Tou and his men slip down easily.

  When Tie heard Dai's question, he put down the infrared telescope Qin Yang had left him earlier and turned around to say: "It seems that the Japanese army is most heavily guarded on the south side of the airport, while the defense on the north side is relatively weaker. If we sneak in from the north, bomb it, and then leave, there's a bigger chance of success."

  Dai'er nodded, but for some reason, she had a faintly uneasy premonition in her heart.

  "Maybe I've just been too tense lately!" Della thought, suppressing this feeling deep in her heart.

  Commandos moved in groups of five, spaced ten meters apart, along the woods towards the north wall of the airport.

  The group proceeded smoothly, encountering only two patrols of Japanese troops on the way. They snuck to the north wall of the airport. After looking around, Iron Head and two special warfare team members approached the wall together.

  Dai'er's unease intensified, as if she and her group had forgotten to consider something. Her brain spun rapidly, and in the absence of emotional interference, her sharpness and vigilance returned to her.

  "Night exploration - Exposure - Small woods - Sacrifice - " Daisy whispered, linking a series of clues together, when suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

  "Qin Big Brother exposed and ran to the woods on the west side, finally sacrificing himself at the edge of those woods. Any commander with a bit of experience would guess that he should have had a way out from there, so why didn't they strengthen their surveillance? And what I saw was almost unguarded, as if the door was wide open for us to come in. Moreover, we hardly encountered any patrol teams along the way, which seems intentional on the part of our opponents!"

  "A trap!" Dye thought of this, and was shocked out of a cold sweat. She only then realized that she and these people had been blinded by their desire for revenge, and couldn't even see such a simple trick.

  "Tiě tóu, huí lái!" Dài ér gǎn jǐn tōng zhī le tiě tóu.

  Translation:

  "Iron Head, come back!" Daisy hastily informed Iron Head.

  Tie Tou and the two special warfare soldiers had already reached the wall, preparing to climb up and take out the Japanese sentry in the watchtower, controlling the machine gun and searchlight. Suddenly, he received a message from Dai Er. He hesitated for a moment, then led his men back into the forest.

  This delay of just a minute or two had already wasted several minutes, making Tie Tou, who was about to succeed, somewhat unhappy. He suppressed his loud voice and asked, "What's going on? I'm almost there!"

  "Tiě tóu, I suspect it's a conspiracy!" Dai'er couldn't care less about Tie Tou's displeased attitude and spoke out her concerns.

  After listening to Dai'er's analysis, Tie Tou fell silent for a moment and said: "No matter what his conspiracy is, the airport must be bombed today, and the instructor's revenge must be avenged!"

  "I didn't say I wouldn't report it, but if we rush in like this, not only will we not be able to avenge ourselves, we might even sacrifice ourselves, so we need to think of a better way!" Dai'er said urgently.

  "What's your good plan?" Tie Tou asked Dai Er.

  Charge forward with iron head, no nonsense. When it comes to planning and strategy, that's a frog jumping into a well - thud (don't understand).

  Dai'er was thinking anxiously.

  Judging from the current situation, it's likely that we've already fallen into the enemy's trap. The road back is probably blocked off by now. The reason they haven't made a move yet is because they're waiting for us to take the bait they've set. They want to play a game of cat and mouse with us.

  But it was precisely this confident and arrogant idea that gave the special forces a chance of success.

  "It's settled then!"

  Dai'er made Tie Tou lean in close and whispered a few sentences in his ear.

  Tie Tou looked at Dai Er with a puzzled face and asked: "Will this work?"

  Dai'er calmly said: "No matter what, we can only take a gamble now!"

  He glanced at the searchlights swaying back and forth on the distant surrounding wall and the patrolling sentries, then looked at the special forces soldiers beside him. Iron Head gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to take action.

  ……

  Yamamoto Kazuo stood in the newly built command post at the south gate of the airport, gazing through binoculars at the commotion around the north wall.

  He is now in high spirits.

  The troops responsible for the ambush on the west side of the town have sent a message that a group of dozens of people has quietly moved from the forest to the north wall of the airport, and it is estimated that they should have arrived at the north wall by now. They have blocked all roads leading from Mt. Dongshan to the airport, waiting for Yamamoto's order.

  "Continue to blockade, if the fleeing Chinese troops are found, annihilate them on the spot!" Yamamoto Kazuo waved his hand and sat down on several stacked up ammunition boxes in the command post.

  Since he knew that the person who came to the airport last night was not alone, he guessed that this team would definitely come to the airport again soon. Their mission should be to blow up the airport. If they couldn't complete their mission as soon as possible, once the airport was rebuilt, it would have a devastating impact on the Chinese army in the Battle of Chifengkou.

  Time is pressing, this army can only stake everything on one throw of the dice.

  In the absence of Koizumi Minoru, Yamamoto Kazuo was the highest commander at the airfield and had the authority to mobilize all troops. So he set up this plan and prepared to play a game of cat and mouse.

  Just thinking about the Chinese people finding themselves surrounded and helpless made Yamamoto feel wonderful.

  He stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, grinning hideously: "I've heard that the heart of a living person is the most delicious wine, hahaha!"

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second, and the north wall was still very quiet, which made Yamamoto feel a bit abnormal. It should have arrived long ago.

  "Can't they even reach the north wall? If so, this game is too disappointing!" Yamamoto Kazuo put down his binoculars in disappointment and turned around.

  But the game was destined not to disappoint him and would be much more wonderful than he had expected.

  "Boom!"

  A massive explosion occurred at the west wall of the airport, causing the ground to shake. The western wall collapsed under the powerful shockwave, creating a breach over ten meters long. Two hidden kamikaze pilots were crushed by the heavy wall as they tried to dodge.

  "What?" Yamamoto Kazuo turned around with a look of shock on his face, not expecting the game to deviate from the script he had directed.

  Dark shadows darted out one by one, firing as they quickly found their own cover and used it to shield themselves as they moved swiftly towards the northern apron.

  Every gunshot brought down a Japanese soldier, and every grenade took away several Japanese soldiers' lives.

  Yamamoto's original arrangement was aimed at the special forces' surprise attack from outside the north wall, so the personnel configuration and bunker layout were all aimed at the north wall. Now, the special forces suddenly blasted a hole in the west wall and rushed in with such fanfare, leaving the Japanese soldiers who had been defending somewhat at a loss.

  This is not an ambush, it's a full-scale attack.

  It takes a special kind of courage for a few dozen people to launch a fierce attack on an airport defended by thousands, and that's the kind of bravery that only Qin Yang's special forces possess.

  "Quick! Quick!" Tie Tou roared, covering each other with his teammates and advancing while taking turns shooting.

  Knowing that this mission was a matter of life and death, the special forces members showed no fear at all. They calmly cooperated with each other, bringing out the characteristics of the special forces to the fullest, like a sharp dagger cutting through the Japanese defense line, rushing straight to the apron.

  "What a fine team!" Yamamoto Kazuo gazed at the special forces through his binoculars from afar, unable to help but exclaim in admiration. The special forces' skilled and precise movements, as well as their advanced tactical thinking, left him sincerely impressed. He realized that his own proud Kamikaze Special Attack Force seemed to pale in comparison to this team.

  Suddenly, in Yamamoto's binoculars, the tall, bald-headed man turned his head with a swish, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

  Yamamoto's heart skipped a beat and he reflexively lowered his head sharply.

  "Whoa!" The binoculars in Yamamoto's hand shattered into pieces, and the bullet that broke the binoculars still had momentum, blowing off his helmet before finally lodging itself in a wooden pillar behind him.

  "What a close call!" Yamamoto Ichiro broke out in a cold sweat.

  "If I had lowered my head a little slower just now, I estimate that my brain should have already bloomed under that bullet. I didn't expect this person's reaction to be so sensitive, and their marksmanship is also fierce to such an extent." Yamamoto Kazuo thought, picking up the steel helmet on the ground and pressing it onto his head.

  In the distance, Tie Tou silently cursed to himself, what a pity. He had thought that his previous shot would have taken out that Japanese officer, but unexpectedly he dodged it. If Tie Tou knew, this person would bring trouble to their special forces team many times in the future, who knows whether he would regret missing that shot earlier.

  But now he had no time to think about it, as the special forces were already surrounded.

  After the Japanese army adjusted from the initial chaos, the special forces could no longer maintain their initial momentum like a hot knife through butter, after all they only had dozens of people. When the number reaches a certain level, it can achieve a qualitative change effect.

  Moreover, there is also a Kamikaze Special Attack Corps that is only slightly inferior to them.

  Although the speed has slowed down, the special forces are still stubbornly advancing forward. However, at this rate, it is unknown whether they can advance to the apron!

  Is there really no turning point for things?
