Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Unimpressed Englishman
Infiltrate the Tadio barracks, steal the Dutch and Indian weapons, and bring them back to the Katarin Hotel, where the crisp wooden villa is blown to pieces!
Everyone was used to Zhou Changfeng's extremely bold plan, and Shen Yu even felt that he would not be surprised even if he proposed to directly raid the colonial authority building now.
Of course, this is just an exaggeration, because Shen Yu found that every plan of Zhou Changfeng was thick and fine-it seemed to be open and bold, but in fact it was not lacking in safety.
If one plan fails, don't panic, and there are several backup plans; At the same time, these alternate solutions can also be randomly arranged and combined, which is very flexible.
For example, what if I fail to infiltrate Tadio's barracks? One of the backup plans is to raid the villa as soon as possible, use a modified van as a fire support point, take out the perimeter guard, and go deep into the wolf's den to kill Chai Guoyi!
What to do if the target escapes? Don't worry, two teams disguised as Javanese native police are lurking in the northwest and northeast of the villa respectively, if Chai Guoyi is escorted to escape, and in a hurry to see the "Javanese police" rushing towards him, will he subconsciously relax his vigilance?
Mr. Circumference Feng Lin Lin considered four or five situations, a total of nine plans, and through discussion with everyone, he checked and filled in the gaps, and added two new plans.
The team responsible for the raid on the villa was led by Zhao Rong and was divided into two four-person assault groups, a three-person firepower group, and a three-person support group, plus Zhao Rong himself, a total of fifteen people.
Zhou Changfeng personally led Wang Mingfa and Xu Qinglan, as well as the brothers Li Jiangong and Li Liye, to infiltrate the Tadio military camp.
That night, everyone dispersed to make the final preparations before the action.
The Batavia station of the Intelligence Service followed their request and found a six-wheeled minivan.
One-man high sandbags were piled up on both sides of the inside of the cargo compartment and tied rope nets to block them to prevent them from falling off when turning or accelerating or decelerating.
Why not weld steel plates? Because the thin steel plate does not hold a rifle bullet, and welding is a troublesome thing.
At the same time, three shooting holes were opened on each side, and a 5mm thin steel plate was randomly found in the door of the cab to block it, which was not extravagant to block rifle bullets, and it was enough to barely block pistol bullets.
This was the last day before the thunder came, and Zhou Changfeng and the others were recuperating, and their opponents were only then reacting with hindsight.
At noon, in a small Tudor-style building with red brick walls and brown sloping roofs in the south of the city......
This is MI6's Site B in Batavia, where Director Glenda has received a report that the Ming are planning to take action against Clay, and that it is possible that agents have already arrived in Batavia.
"Clay" - this is the code name they gave to Chai Guoyi.
The report is based on subjective assumptions, full of estimates, possibility, perhaps, speculation, and the only barely valuable basis is that three of the flights to Batavia two days earlier had a far higher than normal proportion of young Chinese.
Glenda pondered for a few seconds, picked up his pen and gave instructions - to maintain the current security plan, unless there is an obvious targeted situation, and then consider increasing the security force, or moving the "clay".
However, a few hours later, in the evening.
The presenter of the report, Agent Jonell, knocked on the door himself, sweating profusely, as if he had just returned from outside.
Glenda sat up straight from the leather seat and said calmly, "A cup of tea?" Or a glass of water? ”
"No, sir, I'm finding something strange!" As he spoke, Jonell took out a piece of paper from his purse, "I thought those flights were suspicious, so I went to investigate." ”
"Did you do it yourself?" Glenda asked nonchalantly, implying that you had used the organization's resources without permission.
"Yes, I spent a day today, most of them are unknown, but some of them I still tracked down, they are ...... at the Katarin Hotel"
"Stop, Jonell, this is just your suspicion, we can't act as we please, until there's an obvious threat."
"But, sir, we can go and arrest them now!"
"This is Badavia, not London." Glenda, who looked calm, slowly stood up, "Even in London, there should be five places to deal with them. ”
Five of them are engaged in internal counter-espionage, and six are engaged in external intelligence activities, and their functions are not the same.
Despite Jonell's arguments, Glenda refused to investigate the Katarin.
In the end, he only agreed to increase the security level of the target's hideout without adding force.
replacement of existing waiters and cooks; All food must be purchased at a random location every day; The villa's drinking water is sampled every six hours; Chai Guoyi himself had to move to a small room in the northeast corner of the first floor.
That's all there is to it, and Jonell, exhausted, walked out of the small building at Site B in frustration.
Looking in the direction of Katarin's hotel, he stared for a long time, and even wanted to investigate by himself at one point, but in the end he gave up - the chief didn't pay attention to it at all, so why did he work so hard?
The sun is setting and the sky is getting late.
More than five hours later, when the moon rises above the treetops, everything has reached the point where it is too late to recover?
To the southwest of Tadio's barracks, five figures had quietly approached the barbed wire fence.
Outside the barracks was the sidewalk, and behind a row of trees by the road there was a trench, about half a meter deep and one meter wide, covered with rotting dead leaves.
And yet under the dead leaves, there are traps every few meters? Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have been unlucky if I stepped on this thing.
However, the Dutch and Indian army, which had poor military discipline, did not care about this at all, and the traps were rusty, some of which had been triggered by cats and dogs, but no one had reset or replaced them.
Wang Mingfa and Li Jiangong took sharp-nosed pliers, cut them one by one, and finally made a relatively wide hole in the barbed wire fence, and several people immediately got in.
On the guard tower in the distance, the soldiers on duty yawned lazily, not even bothering to turn their searchlights.
According to known information, the armory was to the west of the Tadio barracks, so the five of them quietly touched it.
It was around midnight at the moment, but the whole camp was not quiet, and there was constant chatter in the barracks in the distance, which was the Dutch and Indian soldiers playing cards and chatting, and there was even the sound of women's laughter?
Day after day of leisure made the Dutch and Indian troops lose their vigilance - there were only open posts, no hidden posts, let alone mobile posts, and the distance of about 60 meters was unimpeded.
The three soldiers at the door of the armory were also bored, two of them put their rifles aside, sat on the ground and dozed off against the wooden box, and only one recruit stood guard with his rifle on his shoulder.
As everyone knows, the three crossbows are already secretly aimed at them.
