Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

 Chapter 40 Attack!

  In the early morning of March 1, 1940, it snowed heavily! Sleet!

The special agent company led by Li Yunlong and Zheng Yingqi arrived at their destination a full day earlier than originally planned.

They were resting in a mountain forest three kilometers away from the Japanese hospital.

 This is the location carefully selected by Staff Officer Li Da, and he is very confident in it.

 Even if they are accidentally discovered by the Japanese, the soldiers can retreat calmly.

Moreover, launching an attack from here is the most efficient and can avoid many detours.

It can be said that you can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

The soldiers of the special agent company wear military uniforms made of high quality materials, military boots unique to the logistics department, and have sufficient supplies.

 This allowed them to experience high-intensity long-distance marches in the wild, but no one was left behind, thus avoiding non-combat attrition.

However, the soldiers were very tired at this time. Except for the soldiers who were on guard, most of them were seizing the time to adjust their status.

Everyone is sulking in their hearts, but they only need to wait a few more hours to vent their anger.

In a relatively sunny open space, Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong were eating fried noodles with snow water.

  Their faces are a little yellow and lack luster, but this does not affect their high energy.

 After breakfast, the two convened a pre-war meeting with more than a dozen cadres in the team to allocate and determine the tasks of each class tonight.

Looking across everyone's faces one by one, Li Yunlong seemed to want to keep the appearance of each soldier firmly in his heart.

 He took out two maps from his pocket, shook them and spread them on the ground.

Although Lao Li never went to a military school or martial arts school, nor did he study systematically, he seemed to be born with a sensitivity to maps.

Li Yunlong’s fingers first moved over the floor plan of the hospital.

“The troops deployed in this hospital are very weak, and there are only about 150 people including the old, weak, sick and disabled.”

“Coupled with our intelligence advantage and our surprise attack at night, even a girl can complete the mission beautifully.”

“But this hospital is between two cities, where the Japanese troops are heavily stationed, and it’s close to the railway line. So we have to prioritize the phone lines to prevent the enemy from calling for help in time.”

"And we have to move fast, the faster the better. Human legs can't outrun the cavalry! They can't outrun the trucks."

 At this point, Li Yunlong paused. He looked around at everyone and found that no one had any questions before continuing:

“In this operation, except for those who cut the telephone lines, we will be divided into four groups.”

"For the first group, one squad of soldiers is enough. You are responsible for responding outside the hospital with rifles. If any fish slips through the net, it is up to you to deal with it."

"In addition, you must serve as a reserve team. Once we encounter changes, we will use a flare gun to notify you. If no accident occurs, then you will stay where you are."

The soldiers who were assigned to this group were a little annoyed. No one wanted to miss this operation, but the military orders were overwhelming.

"The second group, seventy-five people, is led by me personally. We all bring submachine guns. The target is the Japanese guarding the hospital and we are responsible for attacking their dormitories."

“The Japs there are not very vigilant, so we try our best to sneak to the destination. When attacking, we need to coordinate our actions and strive to be in sync.”

“Hey, those beasts will still be having **** with their wives in their dreams, don’t give them a chance to resist. Everyone throws a grenade into the dormitory, and no one is allowed to save.”

“But please pay attention to safety. This grenade was not made in the previous border area. It is very powerful. Don’t hurt yourself.”

Li Yunlong took a secret glance at Zheng Yingqi and found that the other person was not angry because he had snatched the most enjoyable task.

“After the second group has dealt with the Japs’ dormitory, they must seize the time to control the entire hospital and be careful not to be shot in the dark.”

“According to the intelligence, there are a lot of medicines in the warehouse of the Japanese Hospital. These are good things. Seize them as much as possible. Take as much as you can. If it doesn’t work, just burn them!”

On this map, there are two marked points where doctors and prisoners are held. Li Yunlong poked at the map with his finger and curled his lips helplessly.

“The remaining people were divided equally into the third and fourth groups, led by Lao Zheng and Dai Yu respectively.”

“Considering that the Japs value those doctors more, I’ll leave it to Lao Zheng and Dai Yu to rescue the prisoners.”

This Dai Yu is a well-known tactician in the secret service company, and was originally a company commander.

 Since Zheng Yingqi personally led the team on this mission, he could only temporarily assume the position of company deputy.

 After assigning the tasks, Li Yunlong checked again with the three team leaders. He looked at everyone very seriously.

“I stress again, we need to be fast throughout the whole process! After the mission is completed, return to the original route and gather here as soon as possible!”

Li Yunlong looked at Zheng Yingqi and asked his old captain with his eyes if he had anything to add.

This burly veteran glanced at everyone with his one eye, and he said seriously:

“I know some of you are feeling aggrieved, but those Japanese doctors are the target of our mission! If you have any feelings, let’s talk about it when we get back. Do you understand?”

Even though they were reluctant, everyone present, including Li Yunlong, nodded.

  ————————————

 At one-thirty in the morning, there was still half an hour left before the special agent company launched the attack.

The time chosen by Li Yunlong and Zheng Yingqi is the time when normal people sleep the deepest and those who stay up late are the most sleepy.

Now, after more than ten hours of rest, all 152 soldiers of the special agent company are full of energy and ready to go!

They checked the weapons and ammunition in their hands over and over again, waiting for Zheng Yingqi's order to launch an attack.

It seemed that God was also on the side of the secret service company. In the early morning, the snow fell even more heavily, and the wind blew like a howling wolf, hitting people's faces painfully.

Although the sky was not so dark that it was hard to see, the visibility was still shockingly low.

Isn’t it normal for phone lines to be cut in this kind of weather?

The first one to go out was the duo responsible for handling the phone lines. They took the equipment they made during the day and moved quickly in the wind and snow.

 About ten minutes, they arrived at the telegraph pole they had selected in advance.

This place is far away from the hospital, and even if there are patrolling Japanese soldiers, they won't be able to get through for a while.

 The two of them were holding a long tree trunk with a sickle that had been prepared long ago. After running under the electric pole, he aimed at the base of the electric kettle and pulled it, and the telephone wire was cut.

Moreover, in order to confuse the enemy's vision, the two of them cooperated and climbed onto the electric pole.

Connect the just-cut telephone line with a black string, so that even if a Japanese comes to repair it, they won't be able to find the problem for a while.

Zheng Yingqi took out his pocket watch and checked the time. Now that the departure time was getting closer, he called the leaders of the other three groups over.

 “Check the table!”

Although watches are a rare thing in the base area, this special agent company can be regarded as the most elite unit of the 129th Division. It is still very easy to gather four watches.

He looked around at the crowd and said in a stern voice: "The latest gathering time is four o'clock. If you are late and fall behind, you will be responsible for the consequences. I will not make fun of the lives of my comrades."

 After confirming that the time was correct, everyone looked serious and no one said much.

 They all understand Zheng Yingqi, this is enemy-occupied territory. Once the enemy is entangled, the best result is the complete annihilation of the army.

 “Let’s go! Kill them! Leave no one behind!”

There will be another chapter later, before 12 o'clock.

　　 Today I was in a daze, and I coded a chapter as soon as I recovered.
