[Today's third update]

"It's called beating a rabbit! Of course, we'll get down to business first! ”

Du Xigui explained, Zhao Guoxian strongly supported, and Yang Shande and Li Dingxin just smiled helplessly.

After a series of discussions and studies, the South African Dispatch Command finally made a final decision to launch the operation before dawn.

That night, more than 50 members of the 6th Squadron of the Desert Fox Special Operations Group of the South African Dispatch Army, under the leadership of squadron leader Major Shen Guowen, secretly entered Fars Bay on two Eastern Han-class submarines and secretly landed in a surveyed no-man's land in the area of Fishooko Bay in the southern suburbs of Cape Town.

Major Liu Kai, head of the Cape Town Station of the CIA of the Chinese Empire, led 5 investigators and 12 executors of the Intelligence Bureau, and cooperated with the 6th Squadron to infiltrate the Masland Airport in Cape Town, England.

At two o'clock in the morning, Shen Guowen and Liu Kaifu led a team to secretly come to the periphery of Mashilan Airport.

After Shen Guowen made a few tactical action gestures, a small team of sixteen members immediately sneaked to the four outposts around the airport, touched the sentry's neck in a silent killing manner, and took control of the outpost.

"A small team reports the situation!" Shen Guowen took a walkie-talkie from the signal soldier and asked.

"A small team reports that four watchtowers have been taken control and that the obstacles to progress have been cleared."

"A small team is on guard!"

"Understood!"

"The second team quickly took control of the tower, the third team was in charge of the barracks, and the others followed me to blow up the plane and the oil depot."

"Team 2 understands!"

"Team 3 understands!"

Although this is the first time for such an operation, they have been practicing for a long time, so all the team members are able to act with ease.

"Major Shen, what kind of equipment are you? How can I talk without a phone line? Liu Kai, who cooperated with the operation, couldn't help but be surprised.

Shen Guowen smiled and said: "This is the latest short-range radio walkie-talkie developed by Beiyang Technology for us, which is practical and ultra-long-wave communication, and the signal is very strong, Your Majesty calls it a walkie-talkie." ”

Liu Kaifu said with a smile: "Good thing! ”

Shen Guowen said: "It's a good thing! It's too expensive, though! A walkie-talkie costs 20,000 dragon coins, and the officials of the War Department stop calling us money burners all the time. ”

Liu Kaifu nodded and said, "It's too extravagant!" But I think you're well-trained, and you're going to be able to use this thing. ”

Shen Guowen said with a smile: "It's still Stationmaster Liu who has foresight." ”

Liu Kaifu smiled, and then a report came from the walkie-talkie.

"Team 2 has taken control of the tower!"

"The three squads have taken control of the barracks!"

Liu Kaifu said in surprise: "It's really efficient, this time in five minutes, more than 200 British troops at the airport let you be reimbursed like this?" ”

Shen Guowen said: "These rabbit cubs must have used chemical bombs again, ten ether chemical bombs, enough to put down two or three hundred people." ”

Liu Kaifu smiled bitterly: "Your things are really weird, this thing must cost a lot of money, right?" ”

"You guessed it! How else do you call us losers? Shen Guowen smiled and said, "Let's go, let's bomb the plane!" ”

Liu Kaifu smiled helplessly: "I knew you were so powerful, I didn't have to call my brothers here, it's good, we have become an audience." But it's worth it to watch you perform! ”

While talking, the two of them came to the hangar, and many of the five Jian-1 export land reconnaissance planes stayed in the hangar.

Stroking the row of Chinese characters such as "Made in China Nanyuan Aviation Group" and other Chinese characters marked on Chinese the nose of the plane, Liu Kaigo sighed: "This is all made in our country!" ”

Several members of the team have already placed remote-controlled bombs one by one in the engine room, oil depot room, and other important places, and some people have opened the gasoline barrels one by one and sprinkled the gasoline inside on the airport tower, outpost, barracks dormitory, and even the runway.

"Destroy the corpses and create a fire, clever!" Liu Kaifu today was an eye-opener, and for the first time he saw the combat style of the special operations brigade, the most mysterious unit in the empire.

Shen Guowen smiled: "Okay! Don't be emotional! You'll know when you get a chance later! Get rid of this airport quickly, we'll have to go somewhere else in a while! ”

Liu Kaigo asked, "Aren't you just ordered to bomb the airport?" Have another task? ”

Shen Guowen nodded while pulling Liu Kai out: "That's right!" In addition to taking out the reconnaissance planes at the airport, we also have to blow up Cape Town's power plant, waterworks, oil depots, telegraph offices, telephone offices, radio stations, and, if time permits, snipe Cape Town Commissioner Winston Churchill. ”

Liu Kai said strangely: "This is also under your control?" ”

Shen Guowen smiled: "What do you think we do?" ”

Coming to the perimeter security zone, Shen Guowen gave an order, and the members of the blasting team pressed the remote control detonator in their hands one after another.

"Boom!"

In the night, the five reconnaissance planes were the first to explode, and in an instant, they exploded to pieces, and clusters of blazing flames rose into the air, turning into huge mushroom clouds. Then, the flames splashed and fell on the surrounding gasoline-sprayed warehouses, towers, and barracks, causing a huge fire, which spread rapidly, and in an instant, the entire airport was plunged into a monstrous fire.

Liu Kaigo looked at the remote-controlled detonator in the hands of the demolition team, and without waiting for him to ask, Shen Guowen said: "The remote-controlled detonator, without wire, can detonate explosives from a distance of 200 meters." ”

Liu Kaifu and his subordinates were suddenly amazed, and they became even more curious about the special forces......

That night, with the assistance of Liu Kaifu and other personnel from the intelligence station, the 6th Squadron successively blew up the power plant, waterworks, oil depots, telephone bureaus, telegraph offices, radio stations, and other important military targets in Cape Town, causing power outages, communication failures, and water interruptions throughout Cape Town.

After completing the mission, Shen Guowen, Liu Kaifu and others secretly lurked in a hotel near the Bank of England on Goodwood Street, monitoring the movements of the Bank of England.

At dawn on 3 March, the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese Empire sailed into Table Bay in the north of Cape Town and Fars Bay in the south, and successively sank three light cruisers, five gunboats, and three destroyers of the British African Fleet cruiser detachment cruising there.

Due to the extremely detailed meteorological information provided by the Cape Town station of the CIA, and the fact that 90% of the British fort artillery positions were marked on the shooting landmarks, the 305 mm naval guns of the Atlantic Fleet accurately hit the British fortress fire from 8,000 meters away, and the British lost dozens of fortress guns as soon as the war began.

The main forces of the Atlantic Fleet used the powerful guns of the battle cruisers to suppress the fire of the British coastal fortresses and diverted the attention of the British troops. At the same time, the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of the 2nd Detachment covered the landing of the South African Dispatch Force at Gordon Bay, east of Fars Bay.

At 9 a.m., the 1st Wing of the South African Dispatch Corps, accompanied by landing ships, landed at the small fishing village of Gordons Cup in Gordon Bay. The 1st Wing quickly took control of the entire small fishing village and locked up all 179 villagers to prevent information from leaking.

The 1st Wing of engineers quickly built a temporary trestle bridge in Gordon Bay to facilitate the transportation of artillery and other heavy weapons by large landing ships.

At 11 a.m., the 2nd Marine Regiment began to land, and after the 1st Wing had constructed its beachhead, it handed over the position to the 2nd Wing, which then quickly and lightly loaded and went straight to the Sten Braça railway station, 30 kilometers away.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Wing was the first to arrive at the railway station and launched an attack on the garrison at the railway station.

There are more than 5,000 people in a wing of the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps, which is equivalent to the strength of a reinforced regiment. The British troops stationed at the Sten Brasa railway station had only one platoon, and the battle ended in less than five minutes.

Due to the bombing of the power plant, telephone office, etc., and the destruction of telephone lines and telegraph lines, the railway station was unable to inform the Cape Town Governor's Office of the appearance of the Emperor of China [***] in time.

The 1st Wing soon arrived, took full control of the railway station, blocked all exits, and prepared the wagons for a surprise attack on Cape Town.

At this time, the British Governor's Office in Cape Town had learned of the presence of the Imperial Chinese Navy in Fars Bay in Cape Town, and Cape Town Commissioner Churchill urgently ordered the whole city to be on alert. Due to the sudden appearance of the Atlantic Fleet and the heavy shelling of the coastal forts north and south of Cape Town, Churchill judged this to be a military provocation by the Imperial Chinese Navy and ordered the defenders of the forts to resist resolutely. However, he reassured citizens not to panic, saying that the city of Cape Town was safe.

It is true that no Atlantic Fleet shells entered the city, because the navy did not want to provoke the British in the city, to prevent them from running away with gold, silver and jewels or hiding in the fortress, all for the sake of cover for the infantry raid.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, all the heavy weapons of the two wings of the Marine Corps were brought ashore and sent to the railway station. At the same time, the 339th Regiment of the 97th Division of the South African Dispatch Army began to land, and it is expected that it will take two days for the 20,000 men of the 97th Division to complete the landing.

The Marines carefully controlled the train station, and any train coming from any direction would be quickly seized, the passengers on it would be imprisoned in concentration camps, the trains would be requisitioned, the seats on the carriages would be removed, and the troop transport cars would be refitted, each with sandbag positions on top of them, and heavy machine gun squads and lightning cannon squads would be used as fire support along the way in the event of a raid on the city.

At eight o'clock that night, the Marines had already made all the preparations, and by this time the 339th Regiment had arrived at the railway station lightly and took over the defense of the railway station, and the 1st Marine Regiment boarded the train and divided into five trains to depart at intervals of 10 minutes, and the 2nd Wing was on standby.
