Six YZ-20 Super Kangaroo transport helicopters and two WZ-40 Haidongqing helicopter gunships took off in the barracks of the New Territories Hong Kong Garrison.

The Steppe Wolves did not have a lot of team members on this mission, because they had to travel long distances, so only two of the six super kangaroos were responsible for transporting 30 Steppe Wolves members, while the other four were carrying fuel.

With a straight-line distance of 1,000 kilometers from Hong Kong to Guiyang, no helicopter can fly so far, even if it is a kangaroo with the auxiliary fuel tank of the weapon removed, the longest range is only 800 kilometers, not to mention the maximum range of only 600 kilometers for Hai Dongqing.

In order to complete this plan, codenamed "Chaoxia", the captain of the steppe wolf asked His Majesty, and His Majesty specially approved the use of six super kangaroos. At least four of the Empire's six most advanced large transport helicopters will be destroyed by an explosion after completing their transport mission, because they will have no fuel to return to the tank.

This is probably the craziest rescue plan in history.

Thousands of miles away, deep behind enemy lines, and rescue two hostages held by military police and military commanders!

Zhong Yi thought about all the special operations cases in his memory, and only the "Thunderbolt" operation jointly carried out by Israel's Mossad and Wild Boy could be compared. But even with that 4,000-kilometer run to Uganda, the Israeli Wild Boy commandos had an airfield to land. And in the "Morning Xia" operation, the place where the steppe wolf fought was in the remote mountainous area!

There was no choice but to send a helicopter, because all the fixed-wing planes could not land in the mountains and fields of Liu Yuxiang. Zhong Yi planned to dispatch the CX-22 Hunting Dragon side rotor aircraft, but even if the Hunting Dragon's carrying capacity was too small, its safety made Zhong Yi have to think carefully.

Several Whetter flank-rotor reconnaissance planes have already crashed due to accidents, and the Royal Air Force has begun to limit the number of times the Whetter can attend, and has begun to look for a reconnaissance aircraft that can replace the Whetter Dragon.

That's why His Majesty didn't hesitate to approve the Steppenwolf's plan to use multiple transport helicopters to transport fuel tanks and complete the blasting after refueling.

In Zhong Yi's view, this is not a loser! Once the "Chaoxia" operation is successful, then this will be a special operations classic, a legend of long-distance raids behind enemy lines.

MI2 operatives search for hidden, leveled spots along the way to land helicopters. Using a radio and a cluster tactical flashlight to lead the helicopter to land in the dark of night is not bad!

A formation of eight helicopters departing from Hong Kong before dark arrived at the first landing point, Mengshan in northeastern Guangxi, at 20 o'clock. This town, which is only 150 kilometers north of Guilin, is hidden in the Qingfeng Lishui of the world's best mountains and rivers, and if you come here in your spare time, it must be a good place to relax and have fun.

But on a flat ground in the middle of the mountains and forests, both the two MI2 agents in charge of guidance and the pilot of the helicopter were in a high state of tension.

In the dark of night, relying only on the fires lit by the agents and the faint pillars of light of the cluster flashlights to guide the landing, the danger can be imagined. Fortunately, the carefully selected pilots successfully completed the five-S assessment project and successfully stopped the helicopter.

Thirty minutes later, only six helicopters were left in the formation that took off again, and the Super Kangaroo, which had completed the task of carrying fuel tanks, would be planted by two agents to plant a time bomb and explode before dawn to prevent it from falling into the hands of other forces. Another aircraft with a full tank of fuel was also left here, waiting for the return of the action formation. Of course, if the helicopter of the action formation does not malfunction, the fate of this super kangaroo will also be completely blown up.

While other helicopters with a full tank of fuel moved on after a simple inspection and maintenance.

China in this era, especially the remote provinces like Guangxi and Guizhou, was still quite backward.

In the countryside where there is no electricity, people who lack entertainment will always fall asleep soon after dark. Even some adults who secretly do some exercise after their children have fallen asleep hear the buzzing sound in the sky outside the house, and no one is curious enough to stop exercising and go out to take a look.

What's more, the most fuel-efficient cruising speed of Super Kangaroo and Haidongqing is also more than 200 kilometers per hour, and the time it takes to pass through a small village in the air is more than ten seconds.

When encountering a city with rich nightlife and bright lights, the fleet chooses to bypass it and return to the definite direction.

This ensures that helicopters without satellite navigation equipment do not get lost in the dark. Even when it comes to the radio guidance of the agents of the two divisions, the navigator must be careful to identify every point on the intelligence that can be used as a signpost.

In this regard, the route map prepared by the agents of the Military Intelligence Agency was extremely detailed, and the 121 villages, six mountain ranges, and 27 rivers that the fleet would pass through were clearly marked along the entire route. And the number of agents who radio-led the helicopter formation alone was sixty.

For Operation Chaoxia, Mu Yu personally came to Hong Kong to command, and MI2 used almost all its forces in China.

Before 12 o'clock in the night, the fleet finally arrived at the second landing point, Guiding County, known as the important town of central Guizhou and the gateway to Guiyang. At the landing site by the Clam River, the steppe wolves took one last look at their weapons and equipment. This will be the last respite before combat operations. All the kangaroos responsible for carrying fuel are to stay here and wait for supplies when the team returns.

In the take-off action formation, there were only two super kangaroo transport helicopters and two Haidongqing armed helicopters. With fuel so tight, Steppe Wolf insisted on equipping the operation formation with two Haidongqing to provide fire support, because he knew the importance and uniqueness of this rescue operation.

The importance is, of course, because of the identity of the rescue target. And the uniqueness is that he understands that there will only be one such opportunity to act! Once defeated, neither the military commander nor the bald head will give them a second chance. And a failed operation would cause many diplomatic difficulties for the Reich! Although His Majesty had repeatedly stressed before the operation that they should not be under pressure, the word "failure" was not acceptable to the Steppe Wolf Commandos, the sharpest short blade in His Majesty's hands.

The distance between Guiding County and Liuyu Township, Kaiyang County, the target of the operation, is less than 100 kilometers in a straight line. If the target is successfully rescued, the helicopter action formation will only need two hours to return to the Clam River.

There were twenty-six Steppenwolf members who participated in the operation, and they were divided into three groups, two of which dealt with the gendarmes and spies who were guarding the target, and the other group was led by the captain of the Steppenwolf to rescue the target! Two Haidongqing will provide them with light and fire support.

Four steppenwolf team members and the fuel-carrying Super Kangaroo crew remained, and they were responsible for taking care of the fuel and supplies. This task is also important, and these supplies cannot be compromised, which will be the greatest guarantee that they can return safely.

Before departure, the remaining team members and the commandos hugged each other, which was the habit of the steppe wolf before the operation. Every mission you perform is on the edge of hell. Steppenwolves are confident, but they are never arrogant! In the words of the captain, that is, the arrogant special forces will not survive now!

As for Zhang Hanqing's place of detention, Dai Li, under the instructions of the chairman, has been transferred several times. From the Song Mansion in Nanjing to the hometown of Chairman Fenghua in Zhejiang and then to the Huangshan Duan Mansion, until he got the poor mountain and bad water Yangmingdong in Guizhou, a serious illness almost killed Zhang Hanqing.

However, the chairman of the National Committee, who was busy with the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and now is busy with the civil war, has never forgotten his younger brother, personally selected this isolated and desolate mountain village, and ordered the engineers to build more than a dozen western-style houses for Zhang Hanqing and his wife, as well as accompanying doctors, private cooks, and other attachés and military police spies to live.

In addition to the previous spy gendarmes, a 75th regiment was also sent to surround Liu Yuxiang three layers on the periphery, and even the county magistrate of Kaiyang County and the head of Liu Yu Township were replaced by military commanders.

On the battlefield of the civil war, the national/military forces were losing ground one after another, and the red guerrillas in southern China became more active. The detention of Zhang Hanqing, the protagonist of the Xi'an coup, has also become tighter.

Liu Yiguang is a fourth-term student of Whampoa, Dai Li's favorite general, and has the rank of colonel. Since 1937, when he was in Xikou, he was arranged by Dai Li to be Zhang Hanqing's spy captain, responsible for protecting Zhang's safety, and was actually his chief guard.

Over the past few years, Liu Yiguang has kept in mind the entrustment of the chairman and Boss Dai, and has been cautious and conscientious in guarding Zhang Hanqing. Even in the remote mountain village of Liu Yuxiang, he would regularly get up in the early morning every day to patrol the village.

Tonight was no exception, the two sentries on duty were caught by Captain Liu because they were napping. Liu Yiguang, who has an elegant appearance, is actually very strict with his subordinates, although it is indeed boring to stand guard in this barren mountain and remote place, but Liu Guard still severely scolded the two sentries.

However, for fear of affecting the rest of Zhang Hanqing and his wife in the bungalow more than ten meters away, Liu Yiguang's voice of reprimanding his subordinates was also very low, and the humming sound from the wilderness was very clear.

didn't care about scolding these two lazy people, Liu Yiguang looked around vigilantly, and it was pitch black! "Did you hear anything?"

"Report to the captain, listen...... Heard it! Buzz! It's getting bigger, ah! Forehead drop sky, ha, captain, look, up there! ”

The sentry is a Hanzhong man, full of Shaanxi dialect, and Liu Yiguang can understand it. Even if you can't understand it, you can hear a loud noise above the vegetable patch not far away!

Liu Yiguang reacted quickly, although the country/army was not equipped yet, he knew that it was a helicopter. "It's the Han Army!" The army in the world that is massively equipped with helicopters is the only Han army!

Captain Liu quickly pulled out his pistol, but was almost knocked to the ground by a word from the sentry behind him!

"Oh the thunder, the deputy commander's dishes have been harmed by them!" - "Ha", Hanzhong dialect, broken.

I don't have the time to scold this big-hearted child! Liu Yiguang roared, "Prepare to fight!" ”

With Liu Yiguang's roar, two low-altitude hovering Haidongqing helicopter gunships fired six rockets at several small bungalows on the side, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......".

The violent explosion muffled Liu Yiguang's shouting, and also saved his life and the lives of the two sentries, otherwise with the marksmanship of the steppe wolves who were descending, they would not have escaped death!

Liu Yiguang, who wore glasses and looked like a scholar, turned his brain quickly, pulled two sentries who were scared enough, and took advantage of the cover of night to retreat to Zhang Hanqing and his wife's room.

The chairman of the committee had an order: If an irreparable situation is encountered, it is better to kill Zhang Hanqing than to let him escape. This small unit with fierce firepower and well-trained must have come to rescue Zhang Hanqing. Seeing that those gendarmerie agents in their sleep would definitely not survive, only the remaining three people would definitely not be able to hold out until the garrison more than ten miles away came.

Then there is only a secret order from the chairman of the executive committee to kill Zhang Hanqing first, "No matter how powerful the Han army is, what they let them snatch can only be a dead man!" In the night, like the light of the fire that ignited after the wing room was bombed, the Shaanxi sentry was startled when he saw the hideous look on Captain Liu's face.
