Chapter 534: Rebellion
After arranging the sniper position, Ye Ming led Luo Wei, Wu Xiaofeng and other twenty-one raiders to continue the rapid march in the direction of Youlong Valley. An hour and a half later, at 2.20 a.m., they arrived near the Xita River Chain Bridge in the northeast of the Youlong Valley military camp.
On the mountain road about two hundred meters away from the chain bridge, Ye Ming motioned to Wu Xiaofeng and the other team members to find a suitable place to lurk. Then, he took Luo Wei to quietly climb a small hill, crouched in the grass and used infrared telescopes to condescendingly observe the movements in the military camp of Youlong Valley.
After observing intently for twenty minutes, Luo Wei asked Ye Ming in a low voice: "Secretary Ye, according to your judgment, which barracks is the special envoy of the chairman held?" β
"It should be the barracks to the southwest of the barracks. You see, there are five or six armed men standing guard on the east and south sides of this barracks, while there are no fixed sentry posts around the other barracks. In addition, there is a watchtower in the center of the barracks, and the searchlight on the tower always shines on this barracks, and one of the two armed men standing guard on the tower always stands facing the barracks, while the other observes the other three directions, which also proves that the barracks is the key place for them to keep an eye on, so the special envoy of the chairman should be imprisoned in that barracks. β
Luo Wei nodded and said, "I took a closer look just now, there are six enemies in charge of patrolling the camp, and it takes about a quarter of an hour for them to circle around the camp. My plan was this: when the patrol left the chain bridge, we arranged for four snipers to shoot and snipe at the four guards guarding the chain bridge and watchtower, and then three teams moved at the same time, from the east, south, and north to the barracks where the envoy was being held, destroying the enemy and the patrol along the way, and rushing into the barracks to rescue the envoyβ"
Ye Ming frowned, interrupted him and said: "Team Luo, your plan ignores two factors: first, we are not completely sure that the barracks is the prison cell where the chairman's envoy is kept, in case this is the enemy's suspicious formation, the chairman's envoy is not in that barracks, but is locked in another inconspicuous place, you rashly attack like this, you may harm the envoy;
"Secondly, according to my estimate, the enemy's special envoy will be kept in very close custody, and in addition to being heavily guarded outside the cell, there may also be guards in the cell. These guards were heavily armed and guarded by the envoys, and in the event of a strong attack from outside, they could decide to shoot the detainees without receiving an order. When I was locked up here, I enjoyed this kind of 'treatment' as a close guard, and I guess the Special Envoy of the President was also guarded in this way. β
Luo Wei asked a little anxiously, "Then what should we do?" It's almost three o'clock in the morning, and if we don't get the envoy out before dawn, we won't have any chance! β
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, then pointed to a barracks on the northeast side of the chain bridge and said, "Team Luo, according to Su Xueling's description, this barracks I am referring to should be the location of the hospital of the Youlong Valley military camp. When I asked Su Xueling about the location of the hospital yesterday morning, you asked me a question, and I will answer it for you now: before we enter the military camp to rescue people, I want to sneak into the hospital with my wizard brother to find someone. After finding him, the wizard brother and I will try to turn against him and ask him to take us to the barracks where the special envoy of the chairman is being held, and use his identity to enter the cell, waiting for an opportunity to kill the guards who are close to the special envoy of the chairman and rescue the envoy. In this way, we can avoid a lot of risks. β
Luo Wei's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "Who do you want to rebel against?" Is it reliable? β
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Do you remember the Yu Baien I mentioned to you yesterday?" He is a minor leader of the Wyverns, and his main duty is to keep watch over the kidnapped. My senior brother used to be kind to him, so when he led people to chase after me and Su Xueling the afternoon before yesterday, he fought back at a critical moment, killed two of his men, and let Su Xueling and me escape. Before leaving, I shot him in the leg at his request. When he returns to the barracks, he will definitely need to be treated for a gunshot wound in the leg, so I guess he should be recuperating in the barracks hospital now. β
Luo Wei nodded suddenly, but quickly asked in a skeptical tone: "This person is the small leader of Sun Zhicheng's group, and it is estimated that he has committed a lot of crimes in his daily life. If you and Comrade Wu Xiaofeng rashly go against him, what if he doesn't do it? If he speaks out and exposes our actions, then we will have lost all our efforts! β
Ye Ming said categorically: "Team Luo, we have to take this risk!" In my judgment, Yu Baien is not a heinous and stubborn diehard, he can remember the kindness of my wizard brother and take the risk of letting me and Su Xueling live, proving that his inner conscience is still alive. And he also told me that he was tired of working for the drug cartel and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible to live a peaceful life, but it was difficult to do so. We now give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, as long as he helps us rescue the envoy, we can take him out of the drug cartel, let him go back to the country and live the life he wants incognito, he should not refuse. β
Luo Wei thought carefully for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, you call Comrade Wu Xiaofeng over first, and I will inquire about Yu Baien's situation with him, and then the three of us will decide on the next course of action!" β
About half an hour later, Luo Wei finally made up his mind after learning more about Yu Baien's basic situation from Wu Xiaofeng.
So, he called all the team members to his side and began to assign tasks to them one by one.
At 3.35 a.m., a few minutes after the enemy patrol passed near the chain bridge again, two snipers arranged by Lowe opened fire at the same time, killing the two guards on the west side of the chain bridge. Ye Ming and Wu Xiaofeng, who had already lurked by the bridge, immediately crossed the bridge quickly, dragged the two killed guards behind a ridge, and quickly took off their clothes and put them on themselves.
Subsequently, Ye Ming and Wu Xiaofeng, who had already put on the enemy's military uniforms, avoided the light of the searchlight and quickly sneaked to the vicinity of the barracks hospital.
Wu Xiaofeng made a gesture to Ye Ming, then quietly approached the dozing guard, strangled his neck, making him unable to make a sound, and then asked in a low voice, "Is Yu Baien being treated in the hospital?" What ward is he in? β
As he spoke, he took out a dagger and pointed it at the guard's heart, and whispered again, "Let go of my hand now, and you will answer my question honestly." If you want to make a noise or resist, this dagger will be stabbed into your heart in no time! β
