Chapter 69: The Downfall of Haneda's Special Forces - Flying Coffin Net
As a result, Zhang Zifeng not only failed to complete the task but also made his old man spend 50,000 yuan to bail him out. This made Shi Jiazhuang's Deputy Commander Zhang Xiaoyun so angry that he almost went over there directly. He immediately complained to his master.
Beiping, Headquarters of the North China Military Region.
Tada Takeo would soon learn that luring Liu Feng had such a result, and in anger he scolded the head of the special service, Colonel Inoue Yasushi, over the phone.
Then he ordered Inoue Yasushi to take immediate action to assassinate Liu Feng and eliminate the Imperial Army's greatest threat.
Inoue Yasushi guaranteed with a sweat-drenched face that he would complete the task as soon as possible. However, in the end, he waited for Tada Takeo to finish his temper before suggesting the use of the Imperial Army's special forces to deal with Liu Feng. In the end, Tada agreed to this suggestion.
……
Han Xicun, Security Section of Special Warfare Brigade.
A guard corps warrior is reporting to the head of the guard corps, Luo Changbing: "During this period, a total of 313 outsiders have come to Hanxizhuang village, and three shops have opened, one rice store, one meat shop, and one wine house. Among the 313 people, there were 32 suspicious individuals. After following them, we eliminated 29 people's suspicion. Finally, according to the head's order, we caught the remaining three people. After interrogation, it was found that one of them was a GMD spy, and two were Japanese spies. The rice store was opened by the Cui family from Guangping County, the meat shop was opened by the Wang family from Guangping County, and the wine house was opened by the Fang family from Quzhou County. No suspicious places have been found for the time being."
"Lu Changbing said: 'If the three captured people are of no value, shoot them and bury them in a quiet place.'"
"Yes, Section Chief."
"How has Yan been lately?" asked Luo Changbing.
Yan had no suspicious behavior and did not intentionally approach the three leaders of the special warfare brigade.
"Continue to monitor, I always feel that this woman is not simple."
"Yes, Section Chief."
……
At night, Hanxi Village was quiet, the moon hid in the thick clouds, the earth was dark, and you couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hand.
More than thirty dark shadows were hurrying towards Hsi Village from outside, their waists bent.
The leader was the founder of the Hattori unit, Japan's first special forces unit - Captain Hattori Yasukazu. Hattori graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army Academy and later studied in Germany, where he learned about special operations theory. After returning to Japan, he formed the country's first special forces unit, the Hattori Special Forces Unit. The unit had only thirty-odd members, all of whom were handpicked from the Japanese army as elite soldiers. All their equipment was imported from Germany, including P38/40 submachine guns, two Mauser 98K sniper rifles with 6x scopes, and two grenade launchers. Their firepower far surpassed that of a regular Japanese army company.
Kazuo Haneda received an order from the North China Area Army Headquarters to dispatch a special warfare unit to annihilate the Liu Feng's 8th Route Army raiding detachment in Huanxian County, Hebei Province. The main target was Liu Feng himself.
Haneda Yasuo carefully studied Liu Feng's combat intelligence and even conducted pre-emptive reconnaissance of the terrain in Hexi Village using various methods. Due to the large flow of people in Hexi Village, it was impossible for the Security Department to completely prevent the infiltration of Japanese puppet spies. Therefore, the terrain structure of Hexi Village, as well as the situation of the houses, were deeply imprinted on Haneda Yasuo's mind. He also basically grasped the rest patterns of Liu Feng, Lin Xuejun and Chen Zhiyuan, including which house they lived in in the village.
The only thing he wasn't aware of was that Huanxi Village had the most complex tunnel system in the world.
Haneda Yasuo decided to adopt a surprise attack tactic, taking advantage of the night to raid Kōse Village.
As they approached Hanzixiang Village, Toda Yasuo couldn't help but feel contempt for the so-called Eighth Route Army's war god and the Imperial Army's arch-nemesis, Liu Feng. Because all along the way, they hadn't encountered any obstacles. Not even a single sentry was posted on the outskirts of Hanzixiang Village. Perhaps it was because Liu Feng overestimated his own strength, this being within the Anti-Japanese base area, so he probably didn't think that Japanese would launch a night raid.
From what he knew about Liu Feng, Liu Feng was just a local rascal who relied on his few years of experience and had only caught a glimpse of the special forces combat method. How could he be compared to this expert in special operations who studied in Germany?
They approached the entrance of Hanci Village smoothly until he found that there were two sentries at the village entrance, walking back and forth.
However, Kazuo Haneda did not discover that inside a giant tree outside the village that several people could not surround, a pair of vigilant eyes had already seen their tracks clearly. Underneath this giant tree was a passage leading to the village, and inside the tree was a naturally formed hollow that could hold half of a person's body. This hollow was used by Liu Feng as an excellent location for a hidden sentry.
This big tree is located on the only road leading to Hanzhi Village, and because of the hidden sentry in the tree, more than half of its body is underground in the tunnel. Such a disguise would not be discovered by outsiders even during the day, so when dozens of sneaky devils passed by the tree just now, some people even brushed past the tree without discovering it.
After these thirty-odd people passed by, An Xiao grabbed the phone and notified Hanxi Village.
Liu Feng, Lin Xuejun and Chen Zhi Kui were immediately awakened and entered the tunnel.
There is a vacant lot at the entrance of the village, which is a must-pass place to enter the village. However, this piece of land has four machine gun pillboxes and more than ten rifle shooting holes around it. Due to the strict confidentiality of the tunnel system in Huanxi Village to outsiders, such fortifications are naturally unknown to outsiders. Hayashi Yasuo only knew that Huanxi Village had some underground engineering, but he couldn't imagine that the tunnel system in Huanxi Village connected every household together, forming a complete underground Great Wall.
When Liu Feng and his men rushed to the dark fort, those thirty or so black shadows had just reached the empty space at the village entrance.
"Liu Feng said in a low voice: 'Flare!'"
Two flares were immediately fired into the sky, instantly illuminating the village entrance brightly. The two sentries disappeared in an instant.
"Hakka, we've been discovered, retreat quickly!" Thirty or so people suddenly appeared on the empty ground, Lieutenant Ogata Yasuo urged.
He had originally planned to arrange two snipers on the high ground on both sides of the village entrance, but before he could give the command gesture, flares were fired into the sky.
The reply was a dense fusillade from four machine-gun turrets and a dozen loopholes.
Dozens of people were shot down by bullets flying in from all directions before they could even fall to the ground, not a single person survived.
Haneda Yasuo was shot multiple times, his mouth full of blood. With his last breath, he stared with bloodshot eyes and said his final words: "Liu Feng, you're really something else."
After he finished speaking, he fell to the ground on his back.
This battle annihilated the Japanese special warfare squad, and killed the captain of the Japanese special warfare team, Kōho Haneda. What made Liu Feng even happier was that they captured thirty German P38/40 submachine guns and two Mauser 98K sniper rifles with 6x scopes. These things can't be bought even with money.
