When it comes to chivalry, Shen Yu thinks this guy has a bit of it, because judging from the cases, he occasionally attacks some corrupt officials in the government, such as stealing their account books, gift orders, and letters and making them public, about three times. .
But this time, Xu Qinglan's good luck came to an end, because he was arrested again during the routine of returning the property to its original owner. He thought it was just a rare incident and would be released in half a month.
However, the cunning friends of the officials whom he had exposed before were planning to deal with this misbehaving guy once and for all.
Are you done with it?
Thanks to Shen Yu, otherwise he might have to squat in a cage or even eat peanuts now.
After taking Xu Qinglan away, Shen Yu made a three-part agreement with him - firstly, he must participate in this operation; secondly, he must not do such lawless things in the future, otherwise he would just wait to eat peanuts.
Acting on the urgent matter, twenty personnel involved in the operation arrived overnight.
The Intelligence Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion specially provided their special training camp in a hilly area of Yanziji to the group of people for use, and provided full support.
Yanziji is located in the north of Nanjing, adjacent to the Yangtze River. It is about 40 meters high and is surrounded by the Yangtze River on three sides. From a distance, it looks like a swallow spreading its wings and about to fly. It is an important ferry and military location, and is known as the number one rock on the Yangtze River for thousands of miles.
Decades ago, the Ming army built a fortress here as the last line of defense to defend the capital. However, as the national power gradually increased and the naval strength increased day by day, Yanziji Fortress seemed to have no significance for its existence. Therefore, it was not modernized like other fortresses, but was almost abandoned. The Intelligence Department took over the place and used it as a Special training place.
After learning the mission goal, the reactions of the twenty people were different, but most of them showed contempt and excitement.
"...It's basically like this, raid the guy's residence, kill him, and then escape unscathed. If you have any opinions, please tell me." Zhou Changfeng introduced it.
Zhao Rong, who was famous for his calmness and calmness when facing challenges, nodded and said, "Who wouldn't want to kill such a treasonous traitor?"
The engineering corporal beside him, Wang Mingfa, even raised his chin and waved his fist, "I don't have any objection. Damn this treacherous thing. It's best to blow up his ancestral graves as well."
"Sir, I don't know how to use a gun. Are you sure I can handle it?" Compared with others, Xu Qinglan, who is essentially a civilian, seems out of place.
Zhou Changfeng glanced at him as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "I am interested in your ability. I won't let you go head-to-head with the enemy when the time comes. However, in order to defend yourself, you have to practice hard these two days and sharpen your guns in battle."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Changfeng looked at the ordnance officer Qiao Yang, "You are responsible for this. Just give him a brief lesson on the pistol without hurting himself. Prioritize teaching him how to use the portable machine gun and shotgun."
The latter nodded and accepted the order.
As a short-baseline firearm, the pistol is a difficult weapon to control and is not suitable for novices. When a novice shoots a pistol for the first time on the shooting range, it is very common for him to only hit one or two shots out of ten on a ten-meter target.
Because it is difficult for novices to control the force of their hands and the movement of holding the gun is unstable, as long as the trigger pull is slightly larger, the pistol will shift significantly. Even if it is only offset by a few millimeters, if it extends to ten meters away, it is equivalent to missing the target.
Therefore, this is a weapon that requires long-term training to exert its power. For novices, an easy-to-control submachine gun is more useful.
Next, Zhou Changfeng asked again, and no one else had any objections. It was very smooth.
After preliminary ideas yesterday afternoon and careful consideration at night, he had basically thought of the overall plan.
He divided the entire operation into five parts: penetration, reconnaissance, transfer, raid, and evacuation. Each part ensured that there was at least one main plan and a backup plan.
However, since there is almost no organizational structure for special operations operations today, many details cannot be determined, and we have to choose to "play it by ear."
It can be said that this was an extremely hasty operation.
"Have you ever encountered a similar situation before?" A somewhat puzzled Zhou Changfeng complained to Shen Yu.
The latter also shrugged helplessly, "I've encountered them before, but I can count them on two hands. Basically, they mainly focused on secret assassinations. One time, it was a surprise attack like this one, but it failed. Since then, I haven’t tried it again. This time I made this decision because I really had no other choice.”
"In fact, this kind of raid is an effective method. With the support of sufficient intelligence and complete support, an elite team can often catch the enemy unawares, cause huge damage and achieve great results." Zhou Changfeng glanced at his watch. He said seriously: "I suggest that the imperial court take this as a warning and set up a special operations agency that can come in handy at critical moments."
Shen Yu said thoughtfully, "Yes", "This suggestion makes sense, I will report it."
Over the next few days, the twenty members learned the most basic methods of disguise with the help of intelligence agencies and agents from outside factories.
There are too many complete special agent training subjects, such as anti-tracking, anti-surveillance, rebellion techniques, etc., but they don't need them now, as long as they can hide their identities.
"Don't walk like this. People can tell you are a soldier at a glance."
"You have to act more casually, um... no, you are too exaggerated, you are too conspicuous."
"It would be better to be more relaxed and relaxed, like Xu Qinglan."
The Intelligence Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Foreign Enforcement Factory, one is responsible for detailed operations, and the other is responsible for grasping detailed operations. After members receive training from the former, the latter will evaluate whether they are qualified or not.
In terms of weapons, Shen Yu said that he can ensure that everyone has short guns, but long guns cannot be guaranteed. It depends on what the intelligence office has prepared at the Batavia site.
"Don't worry too much about this. Unless you want a mortar or a heavy machine gun, you should be able to get other weapons."
Zhou Changfeng, who was smiling, said seriously: "I just want mortars and heavy machine guns. If you can kill the target far away, why should you risk getting closer?"
Shen Yu: "..."
As for evacuation plans, there are three in total.
The best plan is to go to Batavia Airport and take a flight to Pontianak, the capital of Lanfang. Since there are only twenty people in total, just prepare a plane by then.
But this is also the easiest to fail, because the plane cannot occupy the runway all the time, and it can be delayed for a short time at most, which means that the plane basically has to take off when it reaches the point.
However, how can a raid be guaranteed to be on time and on time? Once there is a deviation, the plan will be ineffective.
Plan No. 2 is to take a passing train all the way west, jump off the train when approaching Serang, and then go to the designated dock to take a small boat out to sea, and finally be picked up by a submarine assigned by the Ming Dynasty Navy. This is a compromise but a safe plan.
Plan No. 3 was to retreat into the Ming Dynasty legation to seek asylum, hoping that the Dutch would not dare to break into the embassy and arrest people. This is a last resort.
