Chapter 12: Sending Troops to Nanwan (Today's second update, tomorrow's continuation)

  "This southern bay stronghold is only 15 kilometers away from our base in Beicun, less than a four-hour march. Through our reconnaissance and the confession of the captured tongue, we know that there are only two companies of enemy troops stationed in Nanwan, led by a battalion commander. However, according to the tongue, this battalion commander is a gambler who often sneaks out of the military camp to gamble in Nanwan Village..."

  In less than half an hour, the garrisons of three warehouses, possible reinforcements around them and the number of enemy troops were clearly marked.

  "Good, great. Your reconnaissance team is simply the eyes of our special operations company. Such detailed information has been investigated, it's great. Okay, Captain Luo, you go back and rest first, if there's anything, I'll notify the communication personnel to call you." Zhang Hua looked at the map in front of him with a surge of excitement.

  "Yes, company commander, instructor, I'm going back..."

  "Old Zhang, you look so excited, have you already chosen your target of attack in your heart?" said instructor Xu Bin with a smile, looking at the excited Zhang Hua.

  "Alright, it's almost done... You see, this Nanwan outpost, although they have two companies of garrison troops, their military strength is roughly twice that of our special forces company. However, their only contact with the outside world is a single telephone line, and the nearest enemy army is also 2 kilometers away from Nanwan."

  "When the time comes and the battle starts, as long as we cut off the enemy's telephone lines, the sound of our rifles will absolutely not reach the ears of the enemy's reinforcements. So, we can quietly take down Nanwan, the Jin-Sui army's logistics warehouse, and then have enough time to transport the supplies. By the time the enemy reinforcements really discover what's happening, we'll already be back at our own base with the captured supplies..." Zhang Hua said with a smile.

  "But, Old Zhang, Nanwan is defended by two companies of the Shanxi Army after all. More importantly, Nanwan has accumulated a large amount of military supplies, and these two companies must be equipped with extremely strong firepower. If we rely solely on our special operations company's strength, even if we can take it down, I think we will suffer heavy casualties..." Instructor Xu Bin said worriedly.

  "Heh heh, Old Xu. Do I look like someone who likes to take risks? This battle was never about launching a strong attack on Nanwan. In fact, taking over Nanwan isn't that difficult. As for the breakthrough point, it's right under the enemy commander's nose." Zhang Hua keenly discovered the key to capturing Nanwan from Luo Huasheng's words and said mysteriously to Instructor Xu Bin.

  "Enemy commander, isn't he fond of gambling? Do you want to bribe the enemy commander and let him give up his position?" Instructor Xu Bin said with a smile.

  "Old Xu, you're thinking too simply. Even if we want to bribe him, he doesn't have the guts to accept it... Look, this way, later on, we'll send out some elite soldiers and find a way to sneak into Nanwan. During the enemy commander's gambling session, take care of his guard troops, then capture him. Later on, we'll put on the enemy guards' uniforms... and plant two hand grenades on the enemy commander's body. Do you think this enemy commander will obediently listen to us and follow our small team into his stronghold?" Zhang Hua let out a sinister laugh, revealing his plan.

  "Lao Zhang, I really admire you, such a clever idea was thought of by you. If we can really do it like this, then our special forces unit will be able to take down the enemy's heavily guarded warehouse without firing a shot." Instructor Xu Bin said excitedly.

  "Heh heh, you admire me in many ways, don't you? Alright, let's suspend our special agent training for a day tomorrow to allow the soldiers to recover their strength. We'll set out tomorrow night. Meanwhile, have the regimental commander lead the main force of the regiment to provide support in the direction of Kui Shu Gou. There is an enemy company stationed there. As soon as they receive news that we've occupied Nan Wan, they'll launch an attack on the enemy at Kui Shu Gou and open up a retreat route for us. Then we can quietly return to our base." Zhang Hua laid out his plan for this battle.

  "Alright, I agree with your opinion. This way, we'll go to the brigade department early tomorrow morning and report this situation to the brigade commander. Please ask the brigade commander to bring along the main force of the brigade and cooperate with us in battle." The instructor nodded secretly and immediately made a decision.

  On the second day, the two came to the brigade department and reported the entire battle plan. Needless to say, the brigade commander was immediately attracted by the things in the enemy's material warehouse. He immediately agreed to the special operations company's operational plan and promised that at the time, he would personally lead the first battalion of the tenth regiment and the brigade guard company to ambush near Kui Tree Gorge for support.

  With the captain's promise, Zhang Hua was exceptionally confident in his own combat plan. The soldiers of the special operations company, upon learning that their unit would be participating in the battle again, began to request to fight, with each platoon and squad asking to take the lead. Of course, since this operation mainly involved a surprise attack, Zhang Hua could only smile and ignore their requests. However, he was still very pleased with the soldiers' eagerness to fight.

  "Old Zhang, the battalion commander has agreed to our battle plan. Now we can discuss specific combat schemes. After all, this time is mainly a surprise attack, and we must plan carefully. Otherwise, if the battle becomes a strong attack, we will lose." The instructor said in the company headquarters with only two people.

  "Lao Xu, this time we're mainly going to launch a surprise attack, so I'm not planning on bringing the heavy machine guns from the heavy firepower squad. However, all five of the light machine guns in the company must be brought along. When necessary, these five light machine guns will play an extremely important role. As for the soldiers, each person just needs to bring two hand grenades and 20 rounds of ammunition. After we arrive at our destination, I'll personally lead the scouting squad's soldiers to infiltrate Nanwan and find a way to take care of the enemy's guard troops... As for what happens next, it will be decided at the appropriate time." Zhang Hua said.

  "What, you say you want to take the scouting party into the village? No way, absolutely not. You're the company commander, how can you put yourself in danger? The whole company of over a hundred people still needs your command!" Xu Bin immediately spoke out in opposition when he heard Zhang Hua wanted to personally lead the team into the enemy's camp.

  "Lao Xue, this time it can only be like this. Our reconnaissance team doesn't have any cadres who can independently face such a situation yet. Just this once, I guarantee it won't happen again." Seeing the instructor's opposition, Zhang Hua also became anxious and immediately advised...

  Finally, after some persuasion, the instructor reluctantly agreed. However, as a result of the discussion, in addition to the reconnaissance class, the security class was also assigned by the instructor to Zhang Hua's command, and they would sneak into the village together at that time.

  At 9 o'clock that evening, the entire special agent company, except for one heavy machine gun, quietly gathered in the courtyard of the company department. Each person brought a piece of cooked wild boar meat, and under Zhang Hua's command, they silently left Beicun under the leadership of the reconnaissance team. Avoiding the enemy's defensive strongpoints, everyone climbed mountains and crossed ridges, taking a full seven hours to complete a journey that normally took only four hours. They hid in a mountain valley less than one kilometer from Nanwan.

  Lian Chang Zhang Hua, instructor Xu Bin, the two under the leadership of Lao Huasheng's reconnaissance class. They quietly approached a place only 300 meters away from the enemy's stronghold in Nanwan, and hid themselves. At this time, it was already four o'clock in the dead of night, and the entire stronghold was quiet. However, the patrolling soldiers coming and going in the stronghold still told everyone that the defense inside the stronghold was very strict. In addition, there were two heavy machine gun positions at the entrance, and the two heavy machine guns emitted a faint blue light under the weak light, releasing waves of murderous aura.

  "Commander, instructor, just ahead is the Jin Sui army's stronghold. Every day, at least ten large trucks go in and out..." Luo Huasheng whispered.

  Just as a few people were seriously observing the defensive fortifications of the Jin-Sui army base, a dog barked. A drunken enemy officer, supported by two orderlies, with more than a dozen guards, swaggered out of Nanwan Village, which was less than a hundred meters away from the base, and walked towards the base.

  The enemy sentry guarding the entrance of the stronghold saw the drunken officer and immediately stood up from behind the machine gun emplacement to salute. Without asking a single question, he let the dozen or so Shanxi-Suiyuan soldiers pass into the stronghold.

  "Commander Wang, that is the commander of the Shanxi troops stationed in the city, Wang DeGui. I reckon he's so drunk because he lost money gambling." Luo Huasheng said.

  As the company commander, Zhang Hua not only noticed the enemy's camp commander but also saw clearly the number of Jinwei army men at the entrance of the ruined fort during the moment when the enemy sentry saluted his own commander. Not too many or too few, exactly six enemies. One machine gun bunker, two soldiers, plus two more soldiers standing guard at the entrance.

  "Let's go, we're going back. We've learned enough already." Seeing that they couldn't gain anything valuable from this outpost, Zhang Hua ordered the guide and Luo Huasheng beside him, turning around to crawl back. In less than ten minutes, the three of them returned to their unit's campsite.

  "Old Xu, the specific battle plan, I think we'll follow what we discussed yesterday. At that time, I'll lead the reconnaissance team and the guard team to sneak into the village and find a way to eliminate the enemy's guard troops. Just like when the enemy army commander enters the stronghold, quietly take out the sentry and machine gunner at the entrance of the stronghold, and occupy the entrance of the stronghold." Zhang Hua commanded his instructor beside him.
