Chapter 648 Night attack on the island

"We have done night attack training many times before, and today is the first actual combat. I hope you will not forget the key points of combat that have made you suffer before! Remember, keep quiet during the operation and avoid using the weapon as much as possible.

Language to communicate!”

After explaining the combat plan, Qian Tiandun once again warned the combatants and then ordered the distribution of equipment.

The military uniforms of the Haihan Militia are originally dark gray. They are almost the same as black in low-light environments. There is no need to change them. However, all equipment that may jingle during activities must be removed and put on.

The black hood only exposes the eyes, mouth and nose, and the black gloves on the hands to avoid reflection of the exposed skin.

In terms of equipment, the need for night attacks was also taken into consideration. The short-barreled large-caliber flintlock originally equipped by the Annan militia was no longer used as the main weapon. The number of rifles carried was reduced to half of the standard configuration. The real main weapon was each

Everyone is issued a tactical machete.

This tactical scimitar is actually an improved version of the Gurkha scimitar. It was ordered by the purchasing department in Yangjiang, Guangdong before the crossing. The shape of the knife is completely imitation of Kappa 1249, with a total length of 43 cm and a blade length of 29 cm.

Weighing just over 500 grams, the blade is wide at the front and narrow at the back, and curves forward. It is also called a dog-retracting knife. Although this knife is very short, its special shape can still allow the user to perform chops in close combat.

The power of chopping movements, coupled with specialized fighting knife skills, cannot be underestimated.

However, even the unconventional Annan militia rarely uses this knife in operations. Most of the time, soldiers are equipped with narrow-edged bayonets matching rifles. After all, in hand-to-hand combat on the frontal battlefield, the standard

The advantage of the bayonet in group fighting is quite obvious, and Annan soldiers are generally short in stature. The combination of rifles and bayonets can also slightly make up for their physical disadvantages.

However, the nature of the night attack mission carried out today is quite special. The dog retraction knife with greater close-range lethality is obviously more suitable for tactical actions such as sneak attacks and sentry detection. In addition, each platoon is also equipped with a pre-crossing bulk purchase

The Chaiyue 225A is a powerful crossbow that is called an artifact by the military. This thing is slightly larger in size and weighs about 9 kilograms overall. It is named after the crossbow string tension of 225 pounds. People with weak strength will have a hard time even stringing it.

.Using the matching aluminum arrows, the firing speed can reach 107 meters/second. Its range, lethality and accuracy are all considered superior. It can basically hit wherever you point at about 25 meters. The crossbow arrows can directly penetrate the human body. At a distance of 50 meters

Using the matching optical sighting equipment, the hit point spread can still be controlled within 10 centimeters. And its range that can cause effective damage can even exceed 200 meters, which is better than most rifles of the same era. This kind of

The weapon makes relatively little noise when used, and is definitely a powerful weapon for carrying out tasks such as night raids and assassinations.

At that time, the Preparatory Committee purchased a total of 20 sets of this special weapon, half of which were later allocated to the special operations troops led by Qian Tiandun. His transfer to Fujian this time also brought all these special equipment. This

It's not that he doesn't leave soup for his successor, but that specially trained crossbowmen are all in the special operations battalion stationed in Fujian. Only in their hands can these weapons exert their greatest effect.

After the equipment was distributed, Qian Tiandun raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was already close to midnight, and then issued an order: "Start as planned, and retreat immediately after completing the mission. No one is allowed to stay in the battle for any reason.

Take action!”

This group of people did not set out from the main gate of Nanri Village, but from the side gate on the east side to avoid being discovered by their opponents prematurely. Everyone was wrapped tightly from top to bottom, and there was no sound during the movement.

From a distance, it really feels like a group of ghosts walking at night.

Although Qian Tiandun mobilized the entire special operations company to participate in this night attack, not all of the special operations company actually went out to the stronghold. For example, the soldiers responsible for company headquarters communications had to stay in the stronghold and communicate through walkie-talkies.

Receive Qian Tiandun's instructions - they are also the only naturalized soldiers in this army who have mastered the technology of using radios and walkie-talkies. This is also a back-up for Qian Tiandun, if the night attack operation does not go well.

, or even expose your whereabouts and engage with your opponent, you must contact your own side as soon as possible and let them prepare to cover the retreat of your own people in the rear.

Qian Tiandun divided the participating troops into two parts. The front part was the action group, which he personally commanded and led. The rear part was the support group, led by Gao Qiaonan. The main goal of this operation was to send the opponent to deploy to

The spies around Nanri Village were removed one by one in order to give the opponent a heavy stimulus before the war started.

With the assistance of night vision equipment, it is extremely easy for Qian Tiandun to detect the movements of his opponents from a safe distance. Those pirate spies believe that the night can cover their bodies, so they have no idea of ​​concealment and just do it carelessly.

Sitting on the ground, Qian Tiandun didn't spend much time and already discovered the locations of three enemies.

Qian Tiandun chose the place closest to him as the first target. He took off the helmet equipped with night vision devices, let his eyes adapt to the brightness of the natural environment again, and then gently patted the soldiers behind him.

He raised his head to signal them to follow him.

The two pirates did not realize that they had become targets in the eyes of others. One of them was leaning on a tree stump and seemed to be sleeping, while the other kept looking in the direction of Nanri Village. It seemed that the two of them were taking turns to watch the night. Qian

Upon seeing this, Tian Dun decided to leave one alive, so he signaled a few subordinates behind him to deal with the man sleeping on the left, while he himself went to deal with the guy who was awake.

Qian Tiandun lowered his body and moved slowly and quietly. When he was still two or three meters away from the man, he seemed to notice the strange tension in the air, and the man turned his head and looked towards Qian Tiandun.

.

Qian Tiandun rushed up with a single step, holding the man's face with his left hand, and stabbed the tactical scimitar in his right hand directly into his neck. There was a gurgling sound in the man's throat, and blood foam fell from Qian Tiandun's fingers.

It soaked out, and in just a few seconds, he lost the strength to struggle and fell softly. The other person a few steps away was still snoring at this time, unaware that his partner was dead.

Several other soldiers followed suit and slowly moved closer. Almost at the same time as Qian Tiandun took action, they also held down the sleeping pirate, quickly stuffed a ball of rags into his mouth, and then

He turned it over, twisted his hands and feet behind his back and tied it up. In less than half a minute, he was tied up like a hairy crab. The four people who followed him grabbed his wrists and ankles respectively, and at the same time they used force to lift him up.

Then send him to the rear, and naturally someone from the support team will take him back to Nanri Village immediately.

Qian Tiandun slowly laid the man's body flat, then wiped his hands and scimitar on his clothes, and then inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard. The whole process was very fast, even faster than these two unlucky people.

It was over before Dan Dan had time to sound the alarm. Qian Tiandun adjusted his breathing, and then disappeared into the darkness again.

Three miles away from the incident, at Shibazhi Camp on the beach. Zheng Zhihu suddenly felt a little chill on his back and even had goosebumps. But this phenomenon is really unusual in midsummer, after all, the temperature at this time of year

But it was so hot that he needed someone to fan him next to him when he slept.

Zheng Zhihu felt a warning sign in his heart and sent an order: "Go and tell Yi Laoer to come to my camp!"

Yi Laoer is one of the pirate leaders under him. He is usually responsible for collecting various intelligence information from the Ming Dynasty. He can be regarded as the intelligence affairs manager under Zheng Zhihu. This time during the attack on Nanri Island, he was responsible for arranging peripheral security.

Sentries and spies who go out in front of the enemy's formation.

After a while, Yi Laoer opened the door curtain and entered the tent: "Master, what do you want from me?"

"I just wanted to ask about your manpower arrangements for today." Zheng Zhihu said straight to the point: "Have the arrangements been made outside the camp?"

"Don't worry, Master. I have sent out a total of ten groups of troops early and distributed them all over the island. If the people in Nanri Village want to come out to sneak attack on our camp, they will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of our brothers!" Yi Laoer

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Master, please rest assured. The brothers sent out today are all capable people, and there are two or three people in each group. They can take turns to rest at night, and they will never miss the enemy's situation."

Zheng Zhihu was still a little uneasy: "Have you ever inspected the hidden sentries after nightfall?"

Yi Laoer looked embarrassed and said: "I have only defined a general area for the people under my command. They all decide where to stay on their own. There is no clear location. It is not easy to patrol in the dark!"

Yi Laoer was not shirking this, but it was the truth. In fact, even he didn't know exactly where each sentry post was lurking. If he really wanted to patrol, he could only go there with a lantern, and this obviously didn't work.

Not a good idea.

Zheng Zhihu was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Go and have a rest. If anything happens, remember to report it immediately!"

After Yi Laoer retreated, Zheng Zhihu still felt a little uneasy in his heart, but this seemed to have no basis. Zheng Zhihu lay there for a while, feeling more and more unable to sleep peacefully, so he simply got up, dressed and went out of the tent, ordering a group of soldiers.

I plan to take a tour around the camp.

However, as soon as the group of people reached the gate of the camp, Zheng Zhihu suddenly raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and at the same time shouted in a low voice: "Silence!"

Although the pirates behind him looked at each other, they still followed the instructions and stopped and kept quiet.

Zheng Zhihu closed his eyes silently and stood motionless, as if he suddenly fell into trance. After a long time, he heard a "boom" sound from far away. The sound was not loud, very short, but very clear.

Zheng Zhihu opened his eyes and said, "Did you hear it?"

The group of people behind them all nodded in unison. This sound was not unfamiliar to them. When the war bows issued by the Ming army were fired, the bowstrings would make a similar sound.

Zheng Zhihu's face darkened and he said, "Chuan Yi Lao Er came to see me!"

Not long after, Yi Laoer, disheveled, hurried over and looked like he had just gotten out of bed.

"Yi Laoer, recruit your people back to the camp immediately!" Zheng Zhihu ordered without having time to explain after seeing him.

Yi Laoer said in astonishment: "These brothers will naturally come back after dawn. Why did the master recruit them back to the camp at this time?"

"It's too late to explain, just do it!" Zheng Zhihu could only raise his voice to maintain his authority.

Yi Laoer hurriedly said: "Just raise four fires outside the camp gate, and our people will naturally withdraw after seeing them."

"Then do it right away!" Zheng Zhihu kicked Yi Laoer impatiently.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Although Yi Laoer didn't know what happened, seeing that Zheng Zhihu was so anxious, he didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly asked someone to light a fire at the camp gate.

However, it took another stick of incense to light the fire, but not even a single person returned to the camp. Zheng Zhihu's face became more and more ugly, while Yi Laoer's face was obviously frightened, and he murmured: "

How is this possible...how is this possible..."

"It seems that all your men are in trouble!" Zheng Zhihu shook his head and said, "You have led a good team!"

"Master..." Yi Laoer knelt down on the ground as soon as his feet softened: "This matter is really weird, maybe the truth will be revealed after dawn!"

"Weird? Let me tell you what happened!" Zheng Zhihu cursed: "The defenders in Nanri Village took advantage of the darkness to sneak attack your people, and not even a single person was left alive! This is what you gave

The capable people I mentioned! I think they are all trash!"

Yi Laoer knelt on the ground, his head touching the ground, and could not utter a word of explanation. Although Shibazhi was a group of pirates, they also practiced military law during war. If the secret sentry outside the camp was really uprooted by the opponent,

He, the person in charge, could only take the blame for his incompetence. If Zheng Zhihu wanted to punish him, there would really be no excuse.

Zheng Zhihu took a deep breath, calmed down, and then gave the order: "Pass my order and immediately step up your guard to prevent your opponents from attacking the camp at night!"

As soon as this order was given, the camp quickly became agitated. Some people received the order to stand up for the night, and they inevitably complained. And the commotion was so loud that other people could not continue to sleep peacefully.

"They realized something was wrong." In the darkness in the distance, Qian Tiandun naturally noticed something strange in the pirate camp. But this had no impact on him, because half an hour ago, the special operations company he led had

All the warning posts placed by the pirates in the wilderness have been removed, and the combat mission has been successfully completed.

"I'm going back to the camp to sleep first, and you finish the rest of the things." Qian Tiandun patted Gao Qiaonan on the shoulder and whispered.

Takahashi Nan responded: "Don't worry, just leave it to your subordinates."
Chapter completed!
