"We have done the training of night raids many times before, and today is the first actual battle, I hope you will not forget the combat essentials that have made you suffer in the past! Remember, keep quiet during the operation, and avoid verbal communication as much as possible!"

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

The military uniform of the Haihan militia is originally dark gray, which is almost no different from black in a low-light environment, but there is no need to change it again. However, all equipment that may jingle during the event must be removed, and a black hood that only shows the eyes, nose and mouth, and black gloves on the hands must be worn to avoid the reflection of exposed skin.

In terms of equipment, the needs of night raids were also taken into account, and the short-barreled large-caliber flintlock pistols originally equipped by the Annan militia were no longer used as the main weapon, and the number of rifles carried was reduced to half of the standard configuration, and the real main weapon was a tactical scimitar issued to each person.

This tactical scimitar is actually an improved version of the Gurka scimitar, a batch of goods ordered by the purchasing department in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province before crossing, the knife type is completely imitation of Kaba 149, the total length is 4 cm, the blade length is 9 cm, the weight is only more than 500 grams, the blade is wide in front and narrow in the back, bent forward, and is also called the dog back knife. Although this knife is very short, it can still allow the user to make slashing movements with its special shape in hand-to-hand combat, and with special fighting knife techniques, the power is indeed incredible.

However, even the unconventional Annan militia rarely used the knife in action, and most of the time the soldiers were equipped with narrow-edged bayonets that matched their rifles. After all, in the hand-to-hand combat on the frontal battlefield, the advantage of the standard bayonet in group fighting is still quite obvious, and the size of the Annan soldiers is generally short, and the combination of rifle and bayonet weapons can also slightly make up for their disadvantage in physical condition.

However, the nature of today's night attack mission is rather special, and the dog's knife with greater melee lethality is obviously more suitable for tactical actions such as sneak attacks and sentinels. In addition, each platoon is also equipped with a powerful crossbow that was purchased in bulk before the crossing, which is called an artifact by the military houses. This thing is slightly larger, weighing about 9 pounds overall, and is named after its crossbow string pull force of 5 pounds, which makes it difficult for people with strength to even wind it. Use package 2222, m.⊥.co▼mstyle_tt; The aluminum arrow, the launch speed can reach 107 meters per second, its range, lethality and accuracy are excellent, about 5 meters basically refers to where to hit, and the crossbow arrow can directly penetrate the human body. At a distance of 50 meters, the matching light sighting equipment is used, and the hit spread can still be controlled within 10 centimeters. And its range of effective damage, which can even exceed 00 meters, is already better than the vast majority of rifles of its time. This weapon is relatively mobile, and it is definitely a sharp weapon for performing tasks such as night raids and assassinations.

At that time, the preparatory committee purchased a total of 0 sets of this special weapon, and half of it was later allocated to the special operations unit led by Qian Tiandun, and he also transported all these special equipment when he was transferred to Fujian this time. It's not that he doesn't leave soup for his successor, but that the specially trained crossbowmen are all in the special operations battalions stationed in Fujian, and these weapons can only be used to the fullest extent in their hands.

After the equipment was distributed, Qian Tiandun raised his hand to look at the time of his watch, it was close to midnight, and then he gave an order: "Set off as planned, retreat immediately after completing the task, and no one is allowed to stay in the war for any reason." Let's do it!"

This team did not set off from the main gate of Nanri Village, but from the side gate on the east side, so as not to be discovered by the opponent too early. Everyone was tightly wrapped up and down, and there was not the slightest sound between the movements, and it really felt like a group of ghosts walking at night from a distance.

Although Qian Tiandun mobilized the entire special operations company to participate in the night raid, in fact, not all the personnel of the special operations company went out of the village, for example, the soldiers in charge of the company's communications had to stay in the village and receive Qian Tiandun's instructions through the walkie-talkie -- they were also the only naturalized civilian fighters in this unit who had mastered the technology of using radio and walkie-talkies. This is also a backhand of Qian Tiandun, if the night attack does not go well, or even expose his whereabouts to engage the opponent, then he must contact his own side as soon as possible, so that they can prepare to cover the retreat of their own people in the rear.

Qian Tiandun divided the troops participating in the battle into two parts, the front part was the action group, which was personally commanded and led by him. At the rear is a support group, led by Minami Takahashi. The main goal of this operation is to uproot the spies sent by the opponent to deploy around Nanri Village one by one, in order to give the opponent another heavy stimulus before the start of the war.

With the assistance of night vision equipment, it is really easy for Qian Tiandun to detect the opponent's movements from a safe distance. The pirate scouts thought that the night would cover their figures, so they didn't have any idea of concealment, and just sat on the ground with a big grin. It didn't take much effort for Qian Tiandun to discover the location of three enemies.

Qian Tiandun chose the closest place to him as his first target, he took off the helmet equipped with night vision devices, let his eyes readjust to the brightness of the natural environment, and then gently patted the shoulders of several soldiers behind him, signaling them to follow him.

The two pirates did not realize that they had been targeted by others, one of them leaning against a tree stump and seemed to be sleeping, while the other kept looking in the direction of Nanri Village, and it seemed that the two of them should be on duty at night. Seeing this, Qian Tiandun decided to leave a living mouth, so he motioned to several subordinates behind him to deal with the sleeping person on the left, while he himself went to deal with the awake guy.

Qian Tiandun lowered his body and moved slowly and silently, until he was still two or three meters away from the person, as if he sensed the strange tension in the air, and the man looked sideways at Qian Tiandun.

Qian Tiandun rushed up with a single arrow step, pressed the man's face with his left hand, and the tactical scimitar in his right hand stabbed him directly into the neck. There was a gurgling sound in the man's throat, and the blood foam soaked through Qian Tiandun's fingers, and he lost the strength to struggle in just a few seconds, and fell softly. The other man a few steps away was still snoring, unaware that his partner had died.

Several other soldiers also leaned on the gourd slowly, and almost at the same time as Qian Tiandun made a move, they also pressed the sleeping pirate together, quickly stuffed a ball of rags into his mouth, and then flipped it over, twisted his hands and feet behind his back and tied it up, and in less than half a minute, he was tied like a hairy crab. The four people who followed him grabbed his wrists and ankles, and at the same time lifted him up, and then sent him to the rear, and naturally someone from the support group would take him back to Nanri Village immediately.

Qian Tiandun slowly flattened the man's body, then wiped his hands and scimitar on his clothes, and then inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard. The whole process was so fast that the two unlucky ones had no time to raise the alarm. Qian Tiandun adjusted his breathing, and then disappeared into the darkness again.

Three miles away from the incident, at the Eighteen Zhi camp by the sea. Zheng Zhihu suddenly felt a little chill in his back, and even goosebumps rose, but this phenomenon is really unusual in the middle of summer, after all, the temperature at this time is so hot that he needs someone to fan him when he sleeps.

Zheng Zhihu had an alarm in his heart, so he ordered: "Go and pass the second child Yi to come to my camp!"

This Yi Lao Er is one of the pirate leaders under him, and he is usually mainly responsible for collecting various intelligence information from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he is regarded as the head of intelligence affairs under Zheng Zhihu. In this attack on Nanri Island, he was responsible for arranging the outer guard posts and spies who came out to the front of the enemy formation.

After a while, Yi Lao Er lifted the door curtain and entered the tent: "Is there something wrong with me in charge?"

"I just suddenly want to ask you about the manpower arrangement you arranged today. Zheng Zhihu said straight to the point: "Everything is arranged outside the camp, right?"

"Don't worry, I have let a total of ten groups of people out early, distributed all over the island, if the people in Nanri Village want to come out and attack our camp, it will definitely not escape the eyes of the brothers!" Yi Lao Er immediately patted his chest and played the ticket: "Please rest assured, the brothers sent out today are all capable people, and there are two or three people in each group, and they can take turns to rest at night, and they will never miss the enemy." ”

Zheng Zhihu was still a little uneasy: "After nightfall, have you been to inspect various secret posts?"

Yi Lao Er said with a look of embarrassment: "I only demarcated the general area for the people under my hands, and they all decided on their own foothold, and there was no clear place, and it was not easy for those who were blind to patrol this black light!"

Yi Lao Er is not shirking this but the truth is the case, in fact, even he doesn't know exactly where each sentry post is lurking, if he really wants to patrol, he can only go with a lantern, and this is obviously not a good idea.

Zheng Zhihu was silent for a while before waving his hand and said, "You go and rest, if there is any situation, remember to report it immediately!"

After Yi Lao Er stepped down, Zheng Zhihu still felt a little uneasy in his heart, but this seemed to have no basis. Zheng Zhihu lay down for a while, and felt more and more unable to sleep peacefully, so he simply got up and dressed and went out of the tent, and a team of personal soldiers planned to patrol 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!"

The pirates behind him looked at each other, but they stopped and kept quiet.

Zheng Zhihu silently closed his eyes and stood motionless, as if he had suddenly settled down. After a long time, I heard a "boom" sound from a distant place, not loud, very short, but very clear.

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

The team behind them all brushed their heads together, this kind of sound is not very unfamiliar to them, when the war bow equipped by the Ming army is shooting, the bowstring will have a similar sound.

Zheng Zhihu's face sank and said, "The second child of Chuanyi came to see me!"

Not long after, Yi Lao Er, who was not neatly dressed, came in a hurry, and it seemed that he had just gotten up from the bed.

"Yi Lao Er, immediately recruit your people back to the camp!" Zheng Zhihu didn't have time to explain after seeing him, so he ordered.

Yi Lao Er was stunned and said: "These brothers will naturally come back after dawn, why did the head of the family recruit them back to the camp at this time?"

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

Yi Lao Er hurriedly said: "Just raise four fires outside the camp gate, and our people will naturally withdraw when they see it." ”

"Then do it right away!" Zheng Zhihu kicked Yi Lao Er very impatiently.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Although Yi Lao Er didn't know what was going on, seeing that Zheng Zhihu was so anxious, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to go to the camp gate to light a fire.

However, after a long time passed for the fire to be lit, not even a single person returned to the camp. Zheng Zhihu's face became more and more ugly, while Yi Lao Er was very obviously frightened, and muttered, "How is this possible...... How is this possible......"

"It looks like all the people under your command have been planted!" Zheng Zhihu shook his head and said, "You have a good team!"

"The ...... in charge" Yi Lao Er knelt on the ground as soon as his feet were weak: "This matter is really weird, or the truth will be revealed after dawn!"

"Weird, I'll tell you what's going on!" Zheng Zhihu scolded: "The defenders in Nanri Village took advantage of the darkness to sneak up on your people, and they didn't even leave a single living mouth! This is the capable person you gave me! I think it's all rubbish!"

Yi Lao Er knelt on the ground, his head was already on the ground, and he didn't say a word of explanation. Although Eighteen Zhi is a group of pirates, it is also a military law in wartime, and if the secret sentry spies outside the camp are really uprooted by the opponent, then the pot of ineffective work can only be borne by him, the person in charge. If Zheng Zhihu wants to punish him, there is really nothing to justify.

Zheng Zhihu took a deep breath and calmed down for a moment before he ordered: "Pass my order, immediately strengthen your vigilance, and beware of the opponent's night attack on the camp!"

At this command, the camp soon became agitated. Some people received orders to get up and watch the night, and they inevitably complained. And this movement is so loud that other people can't continue to sleep peacefully.

"They realized something was wrong. In the darkness in the distance, Qian Tiandun naturally noticed the strangeness in the pirate camp. However, this did not affect him, because before half an hour, the special operations company he led had already removed all the guard posts placed by the pirates in the wilderness, and successfully completed the combat mission.

"I'll go back to the camp and sleep first, and you can take care of the rest. Qian Tiandun patted Gao Qiao Nan's shoulder and commanded in a low voice.

Takahashi Nanying said: "Don't worry, just leave it to your subordinates." ”
