Although the sky is not cloudy, there is no moon, and Cheng Zhichao and others do not have the corresponding night vision equipment, so they can only rely on the faint light of the stars to see things.

It was pitch black in front, and if it weren't for the faint light from the windows of a few houses, Cheng Zhichao and the others wouldn't be able to see it at all, and less than a hundred meters in front of them was a small village.

In the deep mountains of the southwest, in addition to the ethnic minority compatriots, there are also small villages inhabited by Han compatriots, but there are not so many of them. After Cheng Yanming appointed the so-called "leader of the special operations team", he called Xia Zhenyang aside alone, and the two of them whispered sneakily for a long time, Xia Zhenyang was startled at first, and then he didn't know what Cheng Yanming said to him, so he couldn't stop nodding.

Then, under his leadership, Cheng Zhichao and others unloaded their equipment, traveled lightly, and marched on foot after the sun went down. Of course, this mission, Cheng Yanming is still relatively humane, before leaving, he specially asked people to go to the cooking class to get them a few steamed buns, and the kettle was also full. Now he is the captain of the third team, Cheng Zhichao and others are his soldiers, no matter what, they can't be allowed to go hungry to carry out the task.

Xia Zhenyang led them, under the guidance of the map, all the way to the rapid march, after it was completely dark, all the personnel arrived at the periphery of this small village seven or eight kilometers away from the training ground and dived down. This small village is the closest to the training ground, and all the members are Han compatriots, who are said to have moved here from the Central Plains in order to escape in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and have been breeding here for hundreds of years.

Deep in the mountains of the small village, outside the village is the rice field, which is just beginning to plough the ground. Early rice has not been planted yet, and there are not many places to hide, so Cheng Zhichao and others couldn't find a good place, so they had to simply lie down in the rice field. After everyone was hidden, Xia Zhenyang whispered to Cheng Zhichao and them the goal of this mission.

They have only one task this time, and that is to find a way. Steal two fat pigs from the village. As for what method he used, he wanted the result, and demanded that the next morning, the two fat pigs must be taken to the pig killing case in the cooking class. As for the size, there are no hard and fast rules, but since it is said to be a fat pig, you can't take a piglet back to make a difference, at least more than 150 catties to barely pass the test.

As soon as they heard about this task, everyone was excited at first. Anyone who has been in the army for a long time knows it. Although the military discipline of the People's Liberation Army is strict, most of the soldiers are young people in their twenties, and it is the time of restlessness. It can be better in wartime, after all, on the battlefield, they can't afford to do nothing. But in peacetime, that's a different story. The food of the troops is good, and sometimes the training is not tiring, and in the long run, the vigorous energy of the soldiers can no longer be vented by daily training alone.

Therefore. There is always a group of bold "soldiers", I don't know for what purpose. From time to time, something will happen, today from the villager's house to two chickens, tomorrow to run to someone's fish pond to steal a few fish, the day after tomorrow to try the dozens of ears of corn crits that people have worked so hard to grow. Sometimes with good luck, you can get it with a light yì, but sometimes you are unlucky. was chased into the army to ask for an explanation, and often in the end, the head of the unit stood up and desperately apologized to others, and then cleaned up those people ruthlessly.

It didn't take long for the people who were being cleaned up to hang their heads for a while. He relapsed into his old ways, and sometimes even brought others to join the army of scourges, in short, such things appeared in an endless stream, which made the head of the army very sad.

However, these things cannot be put on the table, although many troops have this situation, the head of the unit can not always send soldiers to military court because of this trivial matter, they have not made any major incidents, far from reaching the point of dismissal or expulsion from the military, headaches are headaches, and they really can't think of a good solution, so naturally they can't report it casually. If you let your superiors know about these things, you will inevitably be unlucky.

The fact that they do not report does not mean that the leaders of the troops support their practice. A leader like Cheng Yanming, who is in an important position, cannot be as out of tune as ordinary soldiers. Now that such a task has been issued, of course, everyone must be excited. These people are all the top training personnel of the original army, and a considerable number of them have gone out in private in the original army to harm the villagers, and they have never forgotten the feeling of excitement in their hearts. The task that Cheng Yanming gave today is exactly what they want.

When they arrived in the village, it was already dark, but it was not yet time to go to bed, and almost every house had its lights on. Xia Zhenyang knew that it would be difficult to succeed in this situation, so after relaying the order, he asked everyone to lie there and stand by honestly. After a while, the number of people with lights on in the village gradually decreased, so he ordered Cheng Zhichao to go to reconnoitre.

He has always wanted to train Cheng Zhichao to be an excellent assaulter, former enemy reconnaissance, one of the essential elements of an excellent assaulter, it is rare to have this opportunity, of course, he must take care of Cheng Zhichao.

Although he is not familiar with the terrain, Cheng Zhichao is wearing a camouflage uniform, and the camouflage camouflage on his body is almost integrated with the night in the night, as long as he is careful, the chance of being discovered is very small. In addition, the people in this village are very ordinary people, they have lived here for I don't know how many generations, and nothing has ever happened to them, plus they are relatives to each other, even if there are occasionally a few black sheep with unclean hands and feet, they rarely commit crimes in the village where they have lived for generations, so Cheng Zhichao is not afraid of being discovered, and after receiving the order, he climbed to the village with a rush of excitement.

There is a way that hooligans are not terrible, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated. It's the same with thieves, who are not afraid of how high the thief's tactics are, but afraid that the thief will form an organization. A strong thief organization will pose a greater danger to society than a single thief. And Cheng Zhichao and others are now transformed from a group of PLA soldiers who have undergone strict military training into a group of organized pig thieves. At this time, some of the training they received in the army played a great role, and everyone only saw Cheng Zhichao either rolling on the spot, or crawling forward, and disappeared into the night in a moment, and his movements were abnormal. Sure enough, it's a good soldier's material.

The people who were not arranged to reconnoiter were full of envy, lying there quietly, waiting for Cheng Zhichao to bring back the reconnaissance results.

Half an hour later, Xia Zhenyang saw a figure in front of him flickering, and then Cheng Zhichao had already rushed back with great speed.

"How's it going, is there anything unusual in the village?"

"Nope. I walked around the village twice and didn't see a single one. Most of the people are asleep, only four or five are still awake, probably watching TV, and there is no light in the house, only the bright light from the TV. ”

"Are there any dogs in the village?"

"Yes, when I was walking around the village just now, dogs barking could be heard in several courtyards, but I didn't delay in one place. The dog barked a few times, and stopped barking after listening to me go far. Squad leader, are we really going to go into the village to steal pigs? ”

"The team has ordered it to come down, how can I make a deal if I don't steal it back? Scared? ”

"I'm afraid but I'm not afraid, it's just that I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I'm a little bottomless. You said that if we accidentally let someone catch us, then we will lose our faces. ”

Xia Zhenyang smiled. Touching his chin and saying, "What do you do, huh?" You are a special forces. He is not only a special soldier, but also the most elite special combat member of the special forces. In the future, there will be countless top-secret missions, and each mission will be a hundred times more dangerous than this. You know, you're just going into an almost completely undefended village to steal two pigs, but in the future you're done training. It is very likely that you will face an enemy with countless loaded guns. Now if you steal two pigs, you are afraid of being like this bear, what will you do in the future on combat missions? ”

Speaking of which, the tone had become quite stern, and Cheng Zhichao was lying beside him. squeaked a few times and said, "Squad leader, I'm not afraid, no matter how powerful those ordinary people are, they may not be able to beat us." I'm just worried that it will be discovered and affect our reputation. The dignified soldiers of the People's Liberation Army actually went to the villager's house in the middle of the night to steal pigs, and they were discovered. ”

"Then don't let them find out." Xia Zhenyang said: "The country spent so much money to cultivate you, and you can't even steal a pig back, what else can you do?" Stop talking nonsense, gather everyone over, give a briefing on the situation in the village, and prepare for the next move. ”

Cheng Zhichao faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but Xia Zhenyang was the leader of this operation, his words were orders, and he was not allowed to do what he thought again, so he had to summon Zhao Jiyong and others to Xia Zhenyang's side.

Xia Zhenyang looked up at the village twice and said, "It's too close to the village here, it's a little unsafe, go back a kilometer and study it in the forest." With that, he took the lead and retreated behind him.

When they saw that he had withdrawn, they had no choice but to retreat with him, stopping on a small hillside about a kilometer from the village. This small hillside is also the industry of that small village, but because it is not suitable for growing rice, someone has opened up an orchard on this small hillside, densely planted hundreds of fruit trees that Cheng Zhichao can't name.

The trees are not yet bearing fruit, but their foliage is luxuriant, just right for them to hide. In fact, in the middle of the night, it was not the ripening period of fruit trees, and no one ran here at this time to break them. However, Xia Zhenyang, out of the consideration of military training, did everything in accordance with the standards of performing regular combat missions, first sent people to do a good job of guarding outside the orchard, and then let everyone gather together, took out paper and pen, and asked Cheng Zhichao to give everyone a detailed introduction to the situation in the village.

Seeing that Xia Zhenyang attached so much importance to this pig stealing operation, he almost didn't use high-end communication equipment and the command center to contact and request artillery support, and Cheng Zhichao was also nervous. While drawing a map on the paper, he whispered: "The village is not big, there are about sixty or seventy families. Since the whole village is built in a ravine, it is not very neatly planned, and the whole village is in a herringbone direction, and it is divided into two parts not far from the village, one part is lined up in a straight line to the mountain, and the other part is lined up along the mountain on the fork in the road. There is a small stream in the middle of the village, which is not too wide and the water is not deep, so it is easy to cross. ”

Xia Zhenyang looked at the map drawn by Cheng Zhichao and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the drawing is very detailed, and the terrain of the village is marked very completely, have you detected who is raising pigs?" ”

"Almost every house has a pigsty, and every one of them is not far from the gate. However, all houses have stone walls, and the walls are about one meter and a half high, and it is a little difficult to climb over the wall to get more than 100 catties of fat pigs out. ”

"Then beat the pig to death directly in the pigsty, and then get the dead pig out." Speaking of stealing. Zhao Jiyong seems to be more experienced than Cheng Zhichao, Cheng Zhichao has just said the difficulty, and this guy has already figured out a way to deal with it.

Xia Zhenyang said: "It's a good way to beat the pig to death in the pigsty, but the premise is not to make too much noise, if you miss a blow, it will easily cause a commotion." Do you have any good ideas? ”

"This ......" Zhao Jiyong was dumbfounded. Although he came up with the idea, he and Cheng Zhichao grew up in the city since he was a child, and he didn't eat less pork, but live pigs were only seen a few times in the pigsty of the farm when he went to inspect a certain farm with the old man, let alone kill pigs, and he had no experience at all in this regard.

"It's easy to do." As soon as he saw that Zhao Jiyong had no choice, someone immediately stood up.

Xia Zhenyang fixed his eyes. I saw that it was a new trainer named Fan Yuesheng who spoke. This person has been inconspicuous in the training process, and he is usually so low-key that he can't be more low-key, but he has persevered until the end, and he is obviously a hidden guy.

Fan Yuesheng is a second-class non-commissioned officer, because Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong were relatively old when they were soldiers, so although they are second-class non-commissioned officers, they are not much older than the two of them. This man is not tall, but he has long hands and big feet. The skin is also rough.

"Squad leader, my family is rural. I raise pigs every year, and I kill pigs every year, and I have seen pigs killed. Sometimes the pig is disobedient and hits the head directly with a stick, as long as the force is strong enough, no matter how many catties of pigs. It can be knocked down with a stick, and the pig can't make much noise. ”

Xia Zhenyang was surprised and delighted: "Have you ever beaten it?" ”

"That's not true, but if you see a lot and know a little bit, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. The only difficulty is that we don't have the equipment in our hands right now. I'll have to figure out how to get a stick. ”

"What's so hard about that?" Xia Zhenyang said with a smile: "Don't forget, although we don't have equipment, but in such a big village, we can't even find a stick." These people have been farming for generations, and there is nothing else, and every family must have shovels and pickaxes and other things, so why not just find a pickaxe when the time comes? ”

Fan Yuesheng said: "You have to find a stronger one, don't knock the pig down with a stick, but break the pickaxe handle." ”

“……”

Xia Zhenyang listened to his words that were very similar to a joke but did not laugh, because he found that Fan Yuesheng's expression was very serious when he said it, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he was telling a joke, but he was really worried that the pickaxe he found was not strong and would be broken by the pig's head.

"Okay, now that the task is clear, I'll divide it into groups. There were 12 of us, so we could be divided into four action teams of three people each. The two teams are a small team, one group is responsible for entering the hospital to get pigs, and the other group is responsible for receiving pigs outside the wall. No matter which detachment it is, after it succeeds, it will withdraw immediately, and the movement should be fast and the movement should be small. There are a lot of dogs in the village, and when people enter the hospital, the dogs will definitely bark, so we have to choose people who don't have dogs. Also, I would like to emphasize that we are stealing, so we must be extra careful not to alarm the dogs in the village. ”

"Yes." The action was imminent, and everyone was a little overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Xia Zhenyang divided all the personnel into two detachments, each with six people, led by him and Lei Qiyu respectively. Each detachment was divided into two action groups, he and Lei Qiyu each led one team into the hospital to steal pigs, and the other two teams responded outside the hospital. After Fan Yuesheng briefly introduced the striking parts when stealing pigs, each detachment acted separately, no matter which detachment got something, do not wait for the members of the other detachment, and quickly withdraw to a safe place to meet before leaving.

The meeting place was chosen here.

Cheng Zhichao was fortunate to be in a group with the captain, and their group was Xia Zhenyang, Cheng Zhichao and Fan Yuesheng, who just said that he had seen the killing of pigs. After all, in their minds, killing pigs is a technical job, and it is not easy to master, and with Fan Yuesheng, a seemingly expert guy, the probability of success should be much higher. This is also the biggest benefit that Xia Zhenyang, as the leader of the action team, used his authority to seek for himself.

And Zhao Jiyong and two other people were responsible for picking them up outside the wall, of course, this does not mean that they are absolutely safe. You must know that it is impossible to carry out such a large-scale theft mission in a small mountain village where they are not familiar with the place, and they must be extra careful not to let the night walkers in the village find out outside the walls. The ghost knows if there will be idle eggs who run out to visit the door. In case they find out Zhao Jiyong's ghostly strangers, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble

After dividing the action team and carefully instructing the precautions during the action again, Xia Zhenyang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and waved his right hand: "The time is now 11:25 in the evening, everyone prepare, and enter the village in fifteen minutes." After entering the village, each team took 10 minutes to determine the target, and half an hour later, at 11:55 a.m., they began to move. The action time is only five minutes, twelve o'clock, no matter whether you can do it or not, you have to retreat on time, understand? ”

"Understood."

"Let's go!" (To be continued......)
