Chapter 2 Special Warfare Training Standards

  Yang Jie didn't even glance at the three people who were attacked. Yang Jie was confident that not many people could dodge his attack in this situation. Yang Jie swung his fist to the left and kicked with his left foot towards another person on the side. Yang Jie's fist hit the person's raised arm, and with a faint cry, the person flew out three meters away and fell into the grass. Yang Jie's left foot was originally a feint, and as he swayed his body, he swiftly kicked the other person's temple with his right foot. The sturdy special forces boot and the fierce force actually kicked the person's head to pieces, white and red splashing into a bloody mist, the gruesome scene making one's eyes unbearable to look at.

  The sudden and brutal scene left the remaining three people stunned, and when they tried to draw their swords, they found that their supposedly strong muscles and bones were not listening to commands. Having witnessed life and death, and having gone through the horrors of war, these terrorists knew that they had been intimidated by the enemy's terrifying killing intent, and of course, they also knew the consequences, but their bodies still felt a bit soft, and their legs trembled slightly.

  Yang Jie firmly remembered the instructor's words: "On the battlefield, life and death are on a thin line. It's either you die or I live, so we must go all out like a lion and a rabbit."

  The three sluggish men hadn't even drawn their swords before they were killed, one beheaded by a palm strike, another's heart meridian shattered by a fist, and the third's throat crushed by an eagle claw.

  Yang Jie pulled up Li Ying, who was trembling with fear from the ground. He knew that Li Ying wasn't afraid of death, but the fear of being raped and killed by a man was unbearable for her. What he didn't know was that Li Ying's fear also stemmed from the gruesome scene he had created. As a special forces member, Li Ying wasn't afraid of killing or being killed, but when she saw Yang Jie kick an enemy's head to pieces with one foot, she still couldn't control her body's trembling. It wasn't until later, when Yang Jie repeatedly warned the special task force members to use their full strength like a lion pouncing on a rabbit, that she gradually understood that her understanding of this key point was half a year behind Yang Jie's. In fact, not to mention Li Ying, but at the time, only a handful of special forces members who were training simultaneously could truly understand and apply it, despite the instructor repeatedly emphasizing that this was a lesson learned in blood. Yang Jie also benefited from his good habit as a student - remembering and applying the teacher's emphasized key points.

  Li Ying unconsciously leaned into Yang Jiong's arms, and Yang Jiong felt Li Ying's fear, so he naturally patted Li Ying's back. That was the natural expression of paternal love that arose from every man's heart in such a situation. But Yang Jiong said something he shouldn't have, which made him regret it later, but to Li Ying, it was a shocking and soul-stirring phrase: "Shadow, don't be afraid."

  Li Ying slowly calmed down, thinking that the slender and gentle Yang Jie was able to subdue the ninja Li Ying only with special equipment, but his view of Yang Jie's combat strength had undergone a drastic change.

  Yang Jie picked up his own weapon from the ground, and also picked up the enemy's weapon, which turned out to be the US military's latest G38C assault rifle (originally a G36C assault rifle). Because it was a simulated combat exercise, all the teams used blank rounds. Yang Jie saw that Li Ying had calmed down, so he handed her a G38C and two magazines.

  "Does it work?"

  Li Ying nodded and took it over, checking it very skillfully, and casually opened the safety catch.

  Yang Jie raised his eyes and looked towards the direction of the base, amidst the intense explosion sounds mixed with various light and heavy firearms shooting sounds coming from afar, he asked in a low voice: "Can we make it?"

  Li Ying understood Yang Wei's intention, he wanted to kill his way back to the base. Since Li Ying saw Yang Wei, a sense of security and trust that couldn't be expressed had taken root in her heart, it was a feeling of finding a home and relying on someone. Not tall and powerful, Yang Wei made Li Ying deeply convinced with his extraordinary temperament and confidence.

  Yang Jie was like a sharp blade out of its scabbard, radiating intense combat intent. It was this intangible combat intent that allowed Li Ying to regain the feeling and fighting spirit of a special forces warrior.

  Li Ying nodded, and Yang Wei lightly waved his hand, leading the way into the thicket.

  The scorching sun at 10 am had become even more intense, with a faint mist rising from the weeds on the ground. Yang Jie and Li Ying had already infiltrated the outer defenses of the base, while the terrorists were desperately attacking the last line of defense.

  Suddenly, a loud roar passed over the heads of the two men, and an Apache armed helicopter landed about seven or eight meters away from them.

  Yang Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he lightly bumped Li Ying, making a hand gesture to seize the opportunity. Li Ying made an OK gesture and pointed to the front. Yang Jie quietly raised his eyes to look around and saw three people getting off the plane, with the person in the middle clearly being the leader and the other two being bodyguards. The plane hadn't turned off its engines yet, and there was still a pilot on board. In the distance, over a dozen people were running towards the plane.

  Yang Jie gently put down the G38C assault rifle in his hand, lowered his body and retreated from behind the cover, checked his military dagger and blowpipe one by one, then made a covering gesture to Li Ying, and quietly sneaked over.

  Li Ying was shocked, apparently Yang Wei wanted to kill the three before the dozen or so people arrived and take the plane. Li Ying quickly judged Yang Wei's intention and made the most favorable firepower support plan.

  Two bodyguards kept looking around, just as the bodyguard on the left discovered that a pile of grass about four meters away was a bit unusual. Yang Jie suddenly stood up, took two tight strides forward, and his body suddenly jumped up, with the military dagger in his hand shaking out.

  Yang Jie took advantage of the terrain, and his over two-meter-tall figure suddenly appeared, causing the bodyguard on the left to raise his head. The dazzling sunlight made his eyes momentarily blind, and in that instant, Yang Jie's military dagger pierced the bodyguard's throat like lightning, not even giving him time to utter a warning cry.

  The bodyguard on the right was extremely vigilant and, after discovering the attack, did not look for the attacker's figure like ordinary people, nor did he roll over to avoid it like ordinary martial artists. Instead, he quickly blocked himself in front of his leader to protect him. However, Yang Jie's target was not his leader, but him. Just as this bodyguard flew up to use his body to protect his leader, Yang Jie's M9 multi-functional dagger, specially used by US special forces, accurately shot into his throat.

  Yang Jie drew his sword and didn't look at the man again, transforming both hands into palm knives, using the force of Mount Hua to chop towards the person in the middle.

  Yang Jiong's move was called "Eagle Pounces on the Rabbit", where the upper body's movements were fake, and the real attack came from the lower body's kicking foot. The movement was stealthy, with a shocking amount of force. Yang Jiong didn't know that the person he attacked was actually the leader of the Silent Legion, feared and hated by the entire world, Brohm, known as "Copper Sinew Iron Arm". Having gone through countless life-and-death battles, Brohm was extremely experienced and confident, and under sudden attack, he didn't panic. With a calm smile, he raised his fist to meet Yang Jiong's attack.

  The palm knife and iron fist met, the sound was not too loud, but Blum felt like his fist had been cut by a sharp knife, a severe pain spread along his arm, piercing to the heart, and then he felt like being hit by a huge hammer in the chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his body retreated several steps, curled up and fell down.

  No matter who talks about this incident later, they don't believe that the world's number one terrorist leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was hunted by the US military for more than a decade and had extraordinary combat power, was killed with just one shot. Al-Zarqawi himself did not believe until his death that someone dared to launch a sneak attack on him in such a situation, which is probably also one of the reasons why Yang Jie succeeded, so later Yang Jie always emphasized "the safer, the more dangerous".

  Li Ying had a feeling of watching a movie from behind, because these movements were too harmonious, as if they had been rehearsed in advance. But she knew that this was exactly where Yang Xiu's strength lay, to subdue the enemy before he even moved.

  Yang Jue was originally a successor of the "Jiangnan Taichengmen" school, and from a young age, his mother used ancestral secret recipes to configure medicinal water to wash his hair and marrow, making his tendons, bones, and meridians different from those of ordinary people. Yang Jue was also born with a natural talent for martial arts. He not only practiced martial arts but also studied them deeply. Every type of martial art move was practiced by him in a way that seemed to be yet wasn't quite right, but was extremely practical. When practicing flying knives, he divided his practice into four categories: static, dynamic, wanting to move but not moving, and wanting to be still but not being still. Using his own methods, it took him eight years of hard work before he achieved success.

  So he was confident in his own flying knife skills, and as it turned out, he had good reason to be proud.

  When Yang Jie succeeded in one move, the terrorist who came to welcome Blumes was less than 15 meters away from Yang Jie. At the moment when Yang Jie landed, Li Ying's G38C assault rifle almost responded at the same time, and a burst of bullets swept across, completely attracting these terrorists. They didn't have time to dodge, fortunately, they had bulletproof vests, and there were no heavy casualties. But this created precious seconds for Yang Jie, who rolled on the spot and threw out two hand grenades on his body. Li Ying took advantage of the dust from the grenade explosion, quickly jumped out of cover, shooting while approaching Yang Jie.

  After throwing out the grenade, Yang Jie took a few steps to climb up the stairs of the plane, and with a fish-like jump, he plunged into the cabin. A bullet grazed Yang Jie's left rib as it shot past him. Before throwing out the grenade, Yang Jie had already drawn his favorite 92-style 5.8mm pistol, which showed near-perfect advantages in terms of power, accuracy and sustained firing time, especially with its 20-round magazine, because the enemy wouldn't wait for you to change magazines. Yang Jie crouched down, raised his hand and fired four shots at the pilot, as the enemies were wearing bulletproof vests, Yang Jie disabled the pilot's limbs with four shots, then walked into the cockpit. Yang Jie knew that both the front and rear sections of the AH-64 (Apache) cockpit were equipped with standard flight control devices, including display screens for controlling helicopter flight. The most important ones were the "Target Acquisition Designation Sight" and the "Pilot Night Vision Sensor System" (TADS/PNVS), which were installed on the nose of the Apache. The "Pilot Night Vision Sensor System" was located above the Apache's cannon turret, including a thermal imaging sight, which moved in sync with the pilot's flight helmet. This helmet was an outstanding design that could be adjusted to fit each crew member's head shape, allowing them to aim at targets using the helicopter's weapons and sensors just by turning their heads.

  Yang Jie removed the pilot's helmet, and was taken aback for a moment. A pair of beautiful gray-blue eyes were staring at him with hatred, although Yang Jie did not know that the woman in front of him was the second person of the Lonely Army - William?Maurice, a former member of the British Intelligence Agency, and an important element wanted by the British government for ￡6 million. However, he clearly remembered the survival rule taught by his instructor - to show mercy to the enemy is to commit suicide. So he struck her down with a palm, threw her out of the plane, put on the helmet himself, and tentatively operated this most advanced armed helicopter according to what the instructor had said during training.

  Li Yinggang had just boarded the plane when it started shaking and took off from the ground.

  Later, Li Ying praised Yang Guang for being able to drive an airplane. However, a sentence from Yang Guang almost made Li Ying angry: "Where did I learn it? I was just messing around, and after getting into the sky, I figured out how to make it fly."

  The AH-64 is an advanced attack helicopter developed by McDonnell Douglas in the United States, with strong battlefield survivability, capable of performing combat and rescue missions, and can perform anti-tank missions in adverse weather conditions.

  Armament: One XM-230-E1 30mm cannon, with 1200 rounds of ammunition. Its external hardpoints can carry 16 Hellfire missiles or four 19-tube rocket launchers for 70mm Hydra rockets.

  Dimensions: rotor diameter 14.63 m, tail rotor diameter 2.77 m, length 17.76 m, height (to vertical fin) 3.52 m, (to tail rotor) 4.30 m, short wing span 5.23 m.

  Weight data: empty weight 5092 kg, maximum takeoff weight 9525 kg, maximum external load 771 kg.

  Performance data: Maximum level flight speed 365 km/h, cruise speed 293 km/h, maximum climb rate 12.7 m/s (sea level), practical ceiling 6,400 meters, range 482 kilometers, maximum endurance 3 hours and 9 minutes.

  Inside the front cockpit is the primary control system for the Apache's weapons. The purpose of the weapon systems is primarily to destroy enemy targets, and the AH-64 can destroy almost any type of target it detects. Below the nose of the Apache is a 30mm M230 Chain Gun (manufactured by McDonnell Douglas), which fires a lightweight 30mm cannon round instead of the heavy 30mm rounds used in the A-10 Thunderbolt II's GAU-8 Avenger cannon. The rounds are numbered M789, with small conical shaped warheads that can penetrate several centimeters of armor. This means it can destroy a tank from above or behind, and almost any type of armored personnel carrier or fighting vehicle currently in use (perhaps excepting the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the British Warrior fighting vehicle). The M789 rounds also have fragmentation effects against exposed enemy ground troops under fire. The M230 Chain Gun's loader can hold up to 1200 rounds of ammunition.

  Yang Jie soon figured out the trick, in his own words "I don't need to understand too much technology, just know how to make it go forward, up and down, and how to fire it".

  "Watch out for snipers and anti-aircraft guns!"

  Yang Ji's "Received", a sniper hiding in the bushes was blown to pieces by a shell. A terrorist carrying a poisonous dagger missile became Li Ying's ghost under the gun.

  The base was under the most intense attack by terrorists, and when Colonel David took stock of the situation, he found that all 564 members who had stayed behind at the base were either dead or wounded. Only less than thirty people were able to fight back, and he knew clearly that these people would not be able to withstand the next wave of attacks by the terrorists. In desperation, he even thought of giving up resistance, if it weren't for the fact that their opponents were the Lonely Legion, because he was aware of the brutal treatment and torture inflicted on American prisoners of war by the Lonely Legion. As he picked up his binoculars to search for rescue troops with a strong attachment to life, he was surprised to see an Apache helicopter firing at the terrorists, and through the binoculars, he could clearly see the terrorists being killed.

  "He excitedly shouted: 'Comrades, plane! Plane! Our people have arrived!' The remaining personnel rushed to the lookout point and indeed, an Apache armed helicopter was hovering in the air, firing missiles at the base's anti-aircraft weapons. A sense of anxiety gripped everyone's heart."

  Yang Jie flew the plane in a circle, and after that, all snipers and things that could pose a threat to flight were eliminated. Even the base's only two multi-functional defensive towers were destroyed by Yang Jie with missiles.

  Most of the terrorists were unaware of this change, and when the plane flew over their heads, some even waved enthusiastically at the plane. Reality quickly destroyed their enthusiasm, the power of the XM-230-E1 30mm cannon could even penetrate several centimeters thick armor, making the bulletproof vests on these terrorists useless, and even the heavy machine gun mounted by Li Ying in the cockpit was able to easily tear through their bodies.

  The whole plane was a harvester of death, spewing out flames that were four or five feet long, bullets with eyes jumping and screaming in the crowd.

  Without the threat of anti-air, planes flew back and forth above the terrorists' heads. An armored vehicle that had just emerged from the woods didn't even have time to join the battle before it was locked onto by Yang Jue's targeting system. A "Hellfire" missile easily took care of it. Later, whenever Yang Jue found a densely populated area, he would toss up a "Hellfire". Might as well not waste them, using missiles like hand grenades.

  The remaining personnel at the base, one after another came out of their shelters, some climbed to high places, pointing and shouting to watch the excitement, the despair that had just wanted to die turned into a kind of hysterical venting.

  The harvest battle ended quickly. The lonely army's painstakingly managed family base for over a decade, 1,495 people, including big and small leaders, were caught without exception.

  When the Chinese special forces were ordered to return to their base, Yang Jie was standing politely beside the plane, one hand holding Li Ying's slender hand and the other making a "please" gesture.

  Looking at the chaotic battlefield, the captain couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, embracing and patting Yang Cong's back warmly, not knowing what to say. After all, Li Ying not only didn't suffer any harm, but also bravely killed enemies and made achievements.

  There were also the commanders of various countries who had been watching the whole process through satellite, especially Major General Mori of the US military. When he saw his old opponent Blumes curled up on the ground, he immediately ordered someone to switch and zoom in on the camera, and every detail of Blumes' final moments was displayed on the screen. Excited, Mori reported this news to the President of the United States at the command center. The whole of America was in an uproar.

  The most excited was Major Varief of the US Special Forces team, who carefully counted the number of bandits killed by Yang Wei and calculated the reward. When he excitedly reported to Yang Wei that the total reward was $45.7 million, plus ￡6 million and an additional $6 million from the tournament organizers, Yang Wei immediately offered him a salary of $5 million to take full responsibility for handling the matter. Major Varief was so happy that he almost fainted, thinking that a reward of $200,000 would be very good.

  Varief quit his job to deal with this matter. Varief's efficiency was extremely high, and the US government was also very reasonable this time, fulfilling its promise without hesitation.

  Li Ying, although she got a reward of over 20 million US dollars from the split, didn't feel any excitement at all. Especially when she saw Liu Qingqing warmly hugging Yang Jie's neck and cheering, a kind of pain, a heart-wrenching pain that made people's hearts break and souls hurt, spread throughout her body from inside to outside, from top to bottom.

  It was as if he had lost his other half, Li Ying's heart dissipated with Yang Ke's departure. Li Ying fell ill, the special forces soldier Li Ying, who had walked out of the plane with a hundred spirits, fell ill.

  Been ill for three months.

  Li Baoguo, male, 24 years old, majoring in Electronic Information Technology at Shandong University. Known as the "Fighting King". In his four years of military service, he rose from an ordinary soldier to a special forces operative and was then "recommended" to the Special Task Force. His file evaluation reads: "Disregards leadership, lacks discipline, frequently gets into fights and causes trouble." The Special Task Force's evaluation is: "Skilled in hand-to-hand combat, proficient in radio communication and computer skills, technically comprehensive, straightforward, loves to take bold action and fight for justice." Yang Jie's evaluation is: "Willing to learn, willing to think, knows when he is wrong and can correct himself."

  Yang Jie's comment is not unfounded. After the African confrontation, the Central Military Commission established a special task force, with personnel recommended by various units in the early stage already in place. However, the position of team leader became a major problem for the military commission's old generals, as Li Qinhu, the original team leader, was most suitable but had slightly lower cultural level and did not quite meet the requirements of building the special task force into China's newest and most comprehensive combat force. To shock these "talents" recommended by various units, it really needs someone like Li Qinhu.

  All the generals reported the situation to the chairman, hoping that the chairman would make a decision. Unexpectedly, the chairman said: "I think Yang Jie is very good, our little shadow can be his deputy commander. To say that among the next generation of us, it's just Xiao Yingzi who has this material, and giving it to her, we are also at ease."

  All the generals had no objection to the chairman letting Li Ying be the deputy captain. Originally, letting Li Ying participate in the confrontation match was meant for training purposes. Otherwise, why would the command center issue such an order after being surrounded at the base?

  On Yang Qian, Director of the Political Department Liu Nanshan first expressed his opinion: "Yang Qian is indeed the most suitable, but he is afraid to be unwilling to do it. Last time, we had to persuade him to participate as a specially appointed team member, and the six million yuan we promised him has not been fulfilled yet."

  Li Shangyang also said: "Yang Guang's temper is soft and hard to eat, afraid it's not good for work."

  The chairman smiled: "Is Xiaoying's illness better?"

  Li Shang hastily laughed and replied: "What's the big deal about this little thing? It's nothing."

  The chairman smiled and said: "I also know that Xiao Yingzi is because of this Yang Kuang's illness, Yang Kuang has a girlfriend named Liu Qingqing, right?"

  Everyone was shocked, did the chairman know this too?

  The chairman glanced at the crowd, waved his hand to the secretary beside him, and the secretary slowly pulled open the curtain on the projection screen. After a while, all of Yang Jie's performances in the African military confrontation competition were clearly played back, including even the intimate shots with Liu Qingqing and Li Ying's dazed and lost expression.

  The chairman then said quietly: "Yang Jue is a personal talent, a born military strategist. If he can't be used by me, he will inevitably be used by others, you see."

  As he spoke, he nodded to the secretary, and on the screen appeared a conversation between General Mori of the United States and the President. The computer synthesized voice said: "A talent like this is just an ordinary soldier in the Communist Party, it's simply an insult to talent!"

  "Then you think of a way to make your ideas in your heart come true! I will give you all the help."

  "This is the original material of the command center of the opposing match, what we saw before was all processed. How about it? Is there still a big difficulty?" The chairman did not explicitly accuse anyone, but everyone understood what he meant.

  "Then let Li Qinhu act as an agent for a few days, you must hurry up, I'm afraid Li Qinhu can't hold on for a few more days." The chairman continued to say, "The troops we are going to form have already exceeded Li Qinhu's cognitive abilities, and besides, these soldiers may not be easy to lead either."

  The chairman said this because one of the orders issued to each unit this time has a priority "having a special skill, not loving peace and quiet". The officers of the elite composed of various troublemakers and sick soldiers must have two brushes.

  As expected, Li Qinhutou took office for less than three days and was already made a laughing stock.

  Li Baoguo doesn't care if you're the captain or if you've participated in African military competitions. In his words, even if you charge out of Amazon, it's useless unless you have real skills - beating me.

  Two men stretched out their hands, and in less than four rounds, Li Qintiger was kicked out by Li Baoguo with one foot. The surrounding soldiers were excited and shouted loudly.

  Next, a man named Nan Wei-ren jokingly asked to compete with the team leader in marksmanship. Li Qinhu was also a top-notch shooter, but Nan Wei-ren moved the target 50 meters further away and amazingly, ten bullets went through the same bullet hole! The stunned soldiers were unable to recover for several minutes, and the applause and cheers lasted for a full ten minutes.

  Li Qinhu's command was no longer effective.

  At this time, Liu Nanshan personally came out and finally made Yang Wei retreat without a way out. He had to say that he would ask for Liu Qingqing's opinion. When Liu Nanshan heard the words, he smiled because of Liu Qingqing...

  As expected, Liu Qingqing strongly supported Yang Wei becoming the captain of the team. However, Yang Wei mentioned that he couldn't neglect his studies. Liu Nanshan agreed without hesitation.

  Yang Jiguang did not live up to expectations, and after taking office for a month, Li Ying urged him three or four times, but still did not see any response. The guys in the special duty team were secretly pleased with themselves, thinking that they had intimidated this student team leader who had not yet graduated.

  One month later, the special task force suddenly received an order to set out in full strength and head to a base in Fujian for training. Yang Wei boldly carried out reforms within the special task force, retaining only two units: finance and political training. All other idle institutions, including the logistics department, were abolished. The meals of team members were operated commercially, with public bidding, but the bidders had to undergo political examination. The standard of team members' meals was greatly improved, and all team members received a copy of the "Special Task Force Team Member Assessment Standards". In the "Standards", Yang Wei required everyone except Li Ying to meet the single-item standards within one month; strategic and tactical assessment standards within two months; and actual combat testing in the third month.

  The "Standard" contains not only the requirements for passing, but also a detailed explanation of various action techniques and their application and significance. Yang Jie's "Standard" is actually a comprehensive special forces manual. Yang Jie set the "standard" that special operations team members must achieve within a month based on actual situations, including physical training and hand-to-hand combat, knife, archery and technique training, shooting training with guns, use of light and heavy weapons, how to lay mines, install traps, wilderness survival, etc. Yang Jie said that these guys are all outstanding in some aspects, if there is no higher requirement, let them broaden their horizons, otherwise they will become arrogant.

  Yang Jie's order to Li Ying was not to make demands, not to unify training, and not to force them, giving them the greatest freedom. Because in the end of "Standard", Yang Jie rarely had some rough words: Those who can't meet the standards, get out!

  That is, Li Ying was only responsible for the final inspection and acceptance.

  After getting "The Standard", these guys walked around the new base and sighed one after another, "This is really a goddamn torturous place."

  Li Baoguo sighed after reading "The Standard": "Having seen people from outside the sky, I realize that I am a frog at the bottom of a well!"

  Nan Ren looked at the firearms section in "The Standard" and sighed: "Shooting is a minor way!"

  The generals of the Military Commission saw "Standards" and gathered at the chairman's place, one after another, to speak to the chairman and ask him to print and distribute "Standards" to each unit for reference. The chairman smiled and pointed to General Li: "There is more."

  Li Shangjiang handed out the materials in his hand to the crowd, smiling and saying: "The chairman is indeed far-sighted. This Yang Wei is really a character. These are his suggestions to the Military Commission: Establish a hacker force, recruit high-educated special warfare personnel, build an all-female special operations team."

  The chairman smiled and said: "Look, they have all thought of us ahead. The troops need such farsighted people."

  One month later, 100% of the special task force soldiers met the standards; two months later, 90% met the standards. The number of people was left with only three hundred and forty-six.

  In the third month, Yang Jie specially took a month off and formulated a practical examination plan that included infiltration, sabotage, assassination, kidnapping, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, stealing intelligence, psychological warfare propaganda, special guard, anti-subversion, anti-espionage, anti-sabotage, rescuing hostages, capturing criminals, infiltrating the enemy's rear to carry out reconnaissance, sabotage and harassment.
