6. Destruction
As the sky darkened, Major Lankao and Major Fis's squadrons finally came together
Li Pingyuan made a gesture to the three soldiers and emitted a bird call, prompting the three soldiers to act simultaneously, swiftly disappearing into the grass and remaining completely still
At dusk, they arrived at a small town called Mangchang
The M troops lay in ambush, making no further noise. At that moment, the jungle fell silent once again. The message sent back meant that the M troops in Reception Station 39 could no longer sleep peacefully. Colonel Bumei had no intention of sleeping; he decided to launch an attack as soon as dawn broke.
Li Ying smiled faintly, remaining silent
"It is!" Major Fis stood up
Damn it, it's filthy! The old monk cursed under his breath. This was because he heard the painful groans of the soldier as he was on the verge of death
The other three reconnaissance teams of the M Army have quickly ascended. The four men provided cross-cover as they swiftly retreated towards the dense cave
He darted forward, a willow leaf knife suddenly appearing in his hand. As his body flickered like a ghost, the knife lunged at the M country soldiers who had no time to evade, striking like vengeful wasps. Four M country soldiers fell in succession, each with their throats cut open by a single stroke.
"Injuring all ten fingers is not as effective as severing one finger!" The warrior leaned forward, pointing at the airport, "Take it down!"
The old monk received the signal from Li Pingyuan, and four individuals stealthily approached from the front.
"I want to run!" The old monk, covered in blood from head to toe, swung his hand fiercely, throwing out three large grenades. With three deafening explosions, the three American devils were blown to pieces.
The tiger's expression turned serious: "I command!" The crowd fell silent. The tiger slammed his fist down on the airport location on the map, "Destroy the M Army's airport!" His eyes emitted a fierce light, "This battle will be divided into combat teams. The mortar and artillery team will destroy all aircraft at the airport. The sharpshooters will assist in eliminating anyone daring enough to pilot a plane! Old Chen will lead the Big Mouth team, the Brave Warriors team, and the Long-Range Eyes team, along with the remaining personnel from the first and second rows, to attack the airport building and eliminate the airport's security forces! The sharpshooters will assist in eliminating anyone daring enough to pilot a plane! Old Chen will lead the Big Mouth team, the Brave Warriors team, and the Long-Range Eyes team, along with the remaining personnel from the first and second rows, to attack the airport building and eliminate the airport's security forces! The rest will follow me and be responsible for sniping the enemy reinforcements!
Because the generator in the military camp was generating electricity and the searchlights were constantly sweeping, anyone approaching the camp would be detected. Li Pingyuan took the lead and brought his men up, while the old monk was not one to seek credit for achievements. He sternly commanded: "Load the bullets, prepare for battle"
Major Lankao nodded and said, "This is the work of your cat team"
Major Fei Si opened his deeply set eyes and said, "I suggest sending out a night attack team to conduct reconnaissance"
Bumei is still at Bamboo House No. 39, thus the entire town is exceedingly languid, including the pilots and the soldiers of the Fourth Special Forces Squadron responsible for security. Soldiers without missions are bathing in the river in small groups and drinking in the town
Li Pingyuan enjoys spending time with the old monk; he admires the monk's calmness and meticulous thinking, as well as his military skills—particularly in the use of hidden weapons. Although they are of similar age, Li Pingyuan feels as though the monk is like a father to him
Bumei fixed his gaze on him, his eyes shining with excitement: "Alright, let's also conduct a nighttime operation! However, I do not advocate for a night attack, so we shall call it a reconnaissance team. As long as we locate their hiding place, at dawn, the main force will act!"
Major Fis adjusted his shoulders and said: "Tell them that if they surrender, I will give them a chance to survive"
In the orchard, the tiger carefully observed once more before falling asleep in its sleeping bag. Everyone was asleep until the sun set and the moon rose in the east
However, Lieutenant Tasi is a combat expert who has killed before, so he is heading straight for Li Pingyuan, intending to capture him alive, as he has recognized that Li Pingyuan is the leader of these four individuals
The enemy consists of special forces. Although they cannot mobilize large troops, it is possible for them to deploy in small groups. Previously, during the later stages of the war, the M Army often emulated us by using special forces for night raids!" He gazed at the enemy's camp, "Today they have been busy for half a day without seeing our shadow, they must be unwilling to accept this. Logically, they will send someone out. Therefore, we will provide mutual cover for our advance and retreat!
Thus, when Li Pingyuan and his companions plunged into the grass, eight individuals immediately leaped down from the trees, rushing towards the four.
The light in the eastern sky at dawn is particularly beautiful, as the entire jungle is painted in bright colors. The jungle is still shrouded in mist, with the light appearing hazy.
Fez dispatched four reconnaissance teams, each consisting of eight members
In other words, are we facing over four hundred people with just over two hundred of us?" The warrior shook his head again, "This is not acceptable
The old monk saw that eight people had already pounced. Of course, Li Pingyuan had noticed it long ago, right when the M army descended.
Then he laid his head on the map, and only raised it after everyone had arrived. Habitually, he widened his eyes and scanned everyone and the map thoroughly before shouting: "I, or rather, the enemy can only give you one night. The enemy situation we are facing is as follows: 1. A helicopter squadron stationed at Mangchang Airport, consisting of 16 aircraft and 110 personnel, based in the airport building, primarily armed with light weapons. 2. The fourth special forces squadron, comprising four teams, totaling around 260 personnel, equipped with various weapons. Currently, we are facing the following enemy situation: 1. A helicopter squadron stationed at Mangchang Airport, consisting of 16 aircraft and 110 personnel, based in the airport building, primarily armed with light weapons. 2. The fourth special forces squadron, comprising four teams, totaling around 260 personnel, equipped with various weapons. One team is on guard at the airport, one team is on perimeter security for the town, and the other two teams are stationed in the headquarters barracks." He finished speaking in one breath and let out a sigh: "Now you can make noise, speak if you have something to say!"
Why
The tiger was momentarily astonished and exclaimed: "Not bad!"
Major Fei arranged the four squads into a diamond formation. The first squad was at the front, the second and third squads were on the left and right, while the fourth squad brought up the rear as the reserve. He positioned himself in the center of this diamond, advancing towards the hidden cave.
The old monk brought people out at twelve o'clock at night. He and Li Pingyuan, the third squad leader from Country Y, each brought three soldiers.
The four individuals spread out, each maintaining a distance of three meters apart, forming a semi-encirclement, providing support to Li Pingyuan and the others
Li Pingyuan detected the scent on them. This was because the special forces of Country M always applied camouflage paint on their faces during operations, and they meticulously did so even at night. However, how could this scent escape Li Pingyuan's nose in the dark?
The mortar suddenly burst into laughter: "This time, you must let me fire enough shells! I have already asked Captain Li to bring back the layout of the M Army's aircraft. I can guarantee that not a single one will escape!"
The secret cave is located on a rock that is neither perilous nor conspicuous, concealed by overgrown wild vines, making it difficult to detect. The defensive works are readily available, and the old monk divides the warriors and himself into two groups to take turns keeping watch.
What do you want? the tiger asked
Li Ying approached the tiger and reported softly: "Agent 77 has informed that Colonel Bumei is still at Bamboo House 39 and will not return to the town tonight. The latest distribution map of the garrison in the town for tonight has also been brought out."
These four individuals do not appear to be in the secret tunnel; of course, they cannot be waiting to die in the tunnel. However, they have not gone far; they are waiting in a safe location for the special forces of the M Army!
The cats under Fis are M country cats, not jungle cats. When they encountered Li Pingyuan, a jungle warrior who had been engaged in guerrilla warfare since the age of fourteen, they revealed their true colors
The squadron leader of the first squadron has gone to Saigon for business, and all four teams are directly commanded by the headquarters. The squadron leader is also being represented by the chief of staff
Major Fis was very pleased that his reconnaissance team had successfully completed the mission. His squadron was excited, as they were determined to thoroughly suppress the first and second squadrons. They had always been relegated to the role of reserves, and that damned Major Lankao constantly reminded them, saying, "Reserves are second-rate!" This only fueled their frustration, and this time they could finally hold their heads high. Without needing Fis to say a word, all the soldiers were eager to prove themselves.

Tass naturally saw the old monk's movement; he had already changed his mind and suddenly reached down. In that moment, he grabbed Li Pingyuan's head, and with a twist, a sound of breaking came from Li Pingyuan's neck
An hour passed quickly, and Li Ying had to wake the soldiers who were sleeping soundly. The tiger took a sip of the mountain spring and regained quite a bit of strength. The troops set off again.
Ah! The old monk let out a cry, as if his neck had been twisted by this M country fellow. His ten fingers suddenly plunged into Tasi's back
Li Ying has brought the hot meal to the guerrilla team
The speed of the M military special forces is very fast. Although the old monk and his companions retreated quickly, they were still discovered. Team Three of the M military quietly lay in ambush around the secret cave.
The sharpshooter laughed heartily: "Don't worry, I will take down every pilot who dares to come out. So, you can take your time shooting. The plane can't walk on its own!"
Well rested
The tiger took a hand-drawn map of the M military distribution from Li Ying, which was drawn in great detail. The annotations on it even allowed for the calculation of the number of people in each location
However, the outcome of the operation was nearly twenty casualties, with not a single soldier from Country Y found. From the perspective of each soldier, rather than being angry, they felt perplexed. Of course, it is not unusual for a single person to hide on a branch, but it is absolutely impossible for an entire army to do so. So where did these people go? They could not have ascended to the heavens! Escaping from the jungle is even less likely! Therefore, there is only one explanation: "They vanished into the ground!"

No gunshots, no grenades flying out, no ... ...
After having breakfast, the tiger commanded a one-hour rest, and as soon as everyone squatted down, they all fell asleep. Only Captain Li and her guerrilla fighters remained awake
Did the old monk and the others die in the explosion, or did they escape? What about the tiger and the others?
Fes then waved his hand at his assistant: "Summon the artillery and helicopters to attack!"
Inside the spacious command tent established by the Special Operations Team, Bumei and his chief of staff, along with the squadron leaders of the second and third squadrons and the Special Operations Team, were all gathered together
In a moment of panic, Li Pingyuan had a sudden inspiration and immediately pressed against Tasi. This was unexpected for Tasi; had Li Pingyuan dodged or launched an attack, he would have knocked Li Pingyuan out in an instant. However, as he pressed in, they became entangled, with hands clutching and feet tangling, and even Li Pingyuan biting towards Tasi's neck. Caught off guard, Tasi quickly grabbed Li Pingyuan's face and threw his body, slamming Li Pingyuan down to the ground. This delay bought the old monk some time. He turned to charge forward, his ten fingers like iron, reaching out to grab Tasi.
The accompanying translator shouted loudly in language Y. After shouting three times in a row, there was not a single sound in the secret cave
Ah! Tas screamed. He felt the fingers on him, and as his muscles tightened to release the force, he did not expect that this person's fingers were as hard as steel, sharp as a dagger. There was no need to think further; the old monk suddenly tore his back apart, sending blood flying everywhere. Three soldiers had rushed in, bullets pouring down like rain, while the remaining three from the M army scrambled to escape.
Major Lankao exclaimed: "I believe they must have a burrow! Moreover, I am certain they haven't left at all and will disturb us again tonight!"
The searchlight from the M military camp shone over, and the machine gun also swept across.
Li Ping was unable to fire his weapon in time, as Tasi had arrived just as he mentioned, resulting in close-quarters combat. The three soldiers were all competent military personnel and had some basic skills, such as bayonet fighting; however, they had not yet been trained by the tiger to become masters of hand-to-hand combat. When the seven rigorously trained M military special forces pounced, they had not even had the chance to react before their necks were severed by daggers.
Major Lankao gasped for breath: "Brothers, let them take the lead. Don't fall behind, follow them. When they are in trouble, we will save them!" The squad leaders of the first and second companies all laughed: "Let them go! Let them be the main force for once!" Therefore, the first and second companies also got up early and prepared to wait for the third company to set off first
This is the headquarters of Colonel Boumé's "Tear Operation"
The tiger, yawning and stretching, woke up and asked: "Comrades, did you sleep well?"
Eliminate them all! he shouted, filled with anger. This morning, his close friend was killed by a landmine planted by these individuals, and all he wanted was to take revenge on them.
He leisurely lit a cigar and sat down on a stone
Major Fis let out a light chuckle, raised his head, and walked out of the command tent with a straight posture
Li Pingyuan came from a background as a guerrilla leader and earned the nickname "Ghost Spirit" at the age of sixteen. His name was already on the wanted list of the occupying forces of Country F at that time. Just as the two were about to part ways with the soldiers, the old monk suddenly called out to him: "Let us go together!"
At this moment, the tigers are traveling tirelessly, having journeyed for a day and a night plus an additional morning. In other words, in Area 9, there are only eight of the old monks left, with four having sacrificed their lives, leaving four remaining.
The helicopter arrived first, launching an assault on the concealed cave with machine guns and rocket launchers. Subsequently, the fire from the special operations team finally commenced. In an instant, the rock face housing the cave was bombarded, sending debris flying. An hour later, the entire rock face seemed to have been skinned, the flesh stripped away, and finally, even the bones were shattered!
The leader of the eight special forces from M country is named Tars, a lieutenant squad leader. Before joining the military, he was a skilled fighter and even served as a bodyguard for a well-known family. Therefore, he did not take Feis's words seriously at all. His seven subordinates usually trained under him and enjoyed engaging in combat with him. Moreover, they all have blood on their hands from the Y countrymen; this occurred in a village where, despite the bravery of the Y countrymen, they were ultimately slaughtered by them
According to the design by Fes, these reconnaissance teams are stationed one hundred meters away from Bamboo House No. 39. One person is positioned in a dense banyan tree, and as long as he does not fall asleep and snore, passersby will not notice him at all
"Charge!" A word burst forth from Fis's teeth! The special forces of Country M pounced with the offensive maneuvers outlined in their manual
Squad Leader Chen said: "I will lead the team to fight for reinforcements!"
This is a small town located at the mouth of a river valley. The river's erosion has created fertile land, resulting in vast fields and orchards, with the terrain being remarkably flat. In the sunset, helicopters can be seen descending like weary birds returning to their nests.
The three warriors were all men who became fervent when it came to killing enemies, and at this moment, driven by their passion for battle, they charged forward! However, the old monk was a calm person, and with a light reprimand, he said: "Retreat! Directly retreat back to the secret cave!"
Bu Mei nodded: "Team Three, let's depart!"
The tiger turned its head and said to the ram: "All units assemble"
They arrived at the dense cave when the fog of the jungle dispersed with the wind, without any obstacles along the way
