Chapter 504: Discovered

At a certain moment, a ball of fire will be lit up on both sides of the Yangtze River at intervals, and these fires will have bonfires, torches and lanterns. They were all carried out by the secret scout special forces who penetrated deep into the territory of Soochow.

The superficial identities of these people are varied, some are dressed as foot traders, some are dressed as hunters, some are dressed as dart runners, and of course, some people have fixed places, such as ordinary people's homes and restaurants.

These fixed locations are usually "CIA"

The fixed points of contact in Soochow, some of which happen to be established on the banks of the Yangtze River, meet the requirements for direction.

Now it can be said that it has come to the last moment, and they are not afraid of the outburst~ exposure, and they have hung out lanterns to guide the direction of the hot air balloon, anyway, after this battle, the Han has recovered this land, and these contact points will also lose their meaning.

However, there are only a very small number of lights in this fixed place, and most of the lights are still scattered in the field, and most of the people who light fires in the field at night are scouts and special forces, and their situation is a bit dangerous.

Fortunately, it was close to the front line, as early as a few days ago, the Han army launched a scout war, combing the Dongwu scouts near the front line over and over again.

Thanks to their sophisticated weapons and rich combat experience, the Han scouts continued to comprehensively suppress the scouts of Eastern Wu.

After today's scout war, there are not many scouts of the Eastern Wu people on the front line, which greatly facilitates the Han army to set up navigation lights in these areas.

However, this was only a position close to the front line, and the scope of the night attack was very large, and some places had already penetrated far into the territory of Soochow, and many Soochow troops were densely stationed on the front line, and some of the places where the bombs were to be dropped had even exceeded the garrisons of these armies and further east.

No matter how awesome the scouts of the Han army were, it was impossible to cross these armies and enter behind enemy lines in a grand manner.

But they can't, those "CIAs" that have been dormant for a long time

Secret agents, and the special forces that have been mixed in in a roundabout way during this time.

Their role is very important, because they are responsible for guiding and locating the positions of the few branches that flow into the estuary farthest from the front line, and it can be said that they are the key to the success of the entire airdrop program.

Now that all the guides are in place, the balloon pilots are presented with a "light road" that winds along the south or north shore

In order to distinguish it from the folk lights, all the guiding lights are flashing and flashing according to a certain rhythm, which is the underground light guide holding a light shield to shade the lights regularly.

Because of this, even this "light road"

Passing through some brightly lit towns, the hot air balloon pilot can easily find out which one is the real guide light.

There is no moon and no wind tonight, and there is no fireworks on the outside of the twenty hot air balloons, but there is actually a raging fire on the inside, "hot gas engine"

drove the propeller with full horsepower, urging the huge hot air balloon along this "light road"

All the way to the east.

On the second watch, twenty hot air balloons finally arrived at their destination, which was the mouth of the farthest tributary.

This estuary is easy to recognize, because on both sides of this estuary, there are torches inserted every ten meters or so, and when viewed from a high altitude, it is like two light chains dotted on both sides of the estuary, and the place where the hot air balloon is to be dropped is the area between these two light chains.

The guidelines are so clear and clear, the process of bombing and laying mines is very simple, twenty hot air balloons take turns to reduce the altitude, quickly drop the set mines into the water, and then take off and fly back to the mother ship at full speed, after replenishing ammunition and fuel, continue to the second river mouth for mine-laying.

The work of the Air Force is simpler, but the ground forces are more difficult.

In order to give these hot air balloons clear guidance at the mouth of the river, two teams of special forces were ambushed on both sides of the mouth early in the morning.

You must know that this is still the territory of the Dongwu people, and there is an ambush in the tributaries, although the Dongwu water army in order to avoid outburst~ exposure, the ambush place is still some distance from the mouth of the river, however, they still sent scouts to regularly patrol these places.

Therefore, the special forces usually hide and do not dare to light the fire, but when it is about the same time, the torches are lit, and then all the men and horses are highly concentrated, enter the state of imminent battle, and prepare to attack with all their strength once they are discovered by the Soochow scouts, and strive to leave all the Soochow scouts behind to avoid leaking the news.

The worst-case scenario is that they were discovered by the Soochow naval army, which attracted a large army to encircle and suppress them.

They had also prepared for the worst, and had already set up a blocking position in the favorable terrain nearby, and once the Soochow army came to suppress it, they would desperately block the enemy and protect the torches on both sides of the strait that served as guiding signals until the entire airdrop minelaying process was completed.

The first inlet of the river was quickly mined, and the special forces guarding the two sides of the river sighed, quickly extinguished the torches, threw them into the river, destroyed the corpses, and then scattered and moved around.

After the hot air balloon returned to the mothership to replenish the mines and fuel, it was guided by the light signal to lay mines at the second estuary.

When it came to the third estuary, it was already ugly, and finally an accident happened at this time, a team of Soochow scouts discovered the fire here, and rode horses to check/br> in order to avoid making a noise to alarm the enemy, the special forces were very experienced in waiting for the scouts to approach before shooting with horse crossbows.

As soon as Qiē was very smooth, the Eastern Wu scouts were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and planting their horses.

Just when everyone thought it was okay, a non-dead Dongwu scout pulled the trigger and activated the tunnel pistol in his hand in the temporary front general.

"Bang"

The crisp sound of gunfire was heard far away in the silent night, which was particularly noticeable.

No one expected that this team of scouts would be equipped with fire~ guns.

And because the light is too dim, they don't have the fire ~ gun in the hands of the Dongwu scouts in advance, otherwise they will definitely focus on "taking care"

He, let him eat a few more crossbow arrows and kill him as soon as possible.

"Suffered! Attention, everyone, take your place and prepare for battle. ”

The captain let out a low shout, and the special forces around him whispered yes, and then scattered and ran away, entering their own blocking position.

One of the special forces ran out, came to the place where the Dongwu scouts fell to the ground, pulled out ~ daggers, and stabbed each of these scouts to make sure that they were all too dead to die anymore, and then quickly ran back to his own blocking position.

A special forces soldier jumped into a semicircular dirt pit and lifted a bamboo basket.

The surface of this basket is like a basket used by a merchant walking through the streets, and the upper layer is indeed a common haberdashery for the merchants, such as needles and threads, brains, rouge, gouache, wooden combs, scissors, etc., which are often sold by merchants.

However, after lifting the upper layer, a lot of swarthy iron eggs were revealed.

This basket is full of thunderbolts.

After placing a few thunderbolts in handy positions, he checked the two arm-thick iron pillars inserted in front of him, and the bullet arms and net pockets that had been attached between the two iron pillars, which were a set of small "Angry Birds"

Some Thunderbolts can be thrown not only with bare hands, but also with Angry Birds~ farther away.
