"There are no clouds tonight, the stars are bright, the southeast wind is weak... It is now 9:05 in the evening, everyone is checking their watches!"
On the south side of Dongjiaomin Lane, close to the American Embassy, a figure flashed out of a sundries warehouse belonging to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The veteran guarding the warehouse had already been drunk. During the day, there was a hidden stake coming to drink with him. Turn this veteran into a dead dog.
This warehouse was already full of people, densely packed on the ground and in the courtyard, a hundred people in total, but the strange thing was that there was no sound from so many people.
Weird camouflage clothing, soft-soled cowhide special warfare boots, and many people had daggers stuck in their boots. There were so many pockets on their clothes that they were bulging with so many things.
There is a medium-sized backpack behind each person's back. At this moment, people can rest on the ground and lean on their backs.
No one spoke, everyone strictly abided by the lurking discipline, and the commander gave them extra meals before tonight's operation!
Two pieces of ham and bacon, a few slices of toasted steamed buns prepared in advance, two large pieces of chocolate, and a can of canned fruit for each of them.
They were all high-sugar and high-calorie foods. These soldiers ate very carefully, even controlling the sound of chewing. Forks and spoons would never hit the skin of the can. The place where a hundred people lived was actually quiet. Like a haunted house.
There is an oil lamp placed on the table in the room, with the topographic map of the capital underneath it. This is the most detailed topographic map of the Fourth and Nine Cities, far exceeding the map of the Qing Dynasty!
Every tiny alley, every toilet, and every tree is recorded, which the CIA's Northern Branch spent three years secretly mapping.
The world's most detailed military map of the capital is spread out on this table!
Ye Qiu, Pang Chaoyun, and Suzuki Tai were the commanders-in-chief of this rescue operation. The three of them each commanded a special operations platoon and formed a company. Three days ago, they lurked into Sijiu City in batches to target the Manchu rebels. It is impossible to detect these people with espionage capabilities.
Today is the time to take action. Chun Shisanniang came here personally to coordinate and cooperate with these army elites. Even though she has been running the capital's intelligence work for many years, she can be regarded as the absolute eldest sister on the road.
But when I meet this group of veterans who have actually survived a narrow escape from the battlefield, I feel terrified!
Thirteenth Niang has seen heroes who killed many people, and she has also seen generals who massacred countless cities. To be honest, she is not afraid of these people. These people are arrogant and domineering, but their murderous intent is clearly visible on the outside.
But the sharp sword of the head of state is different. These soldiers have fought in the Far East War and also fought against the French. The blood on their hands belongs to the big-nosed foreigners!
It is said that they are bound to kill people, but they can rely on strict military discipline to keep their murderous intentions in their hearts!
No arrogance, no arrogance, no domineering attitude!
They were quiet, quietly completing the orders of their superiors bit by bit, as silent as the individual steel parts, which when combined together formed an indestructible chariot!
They are disciplined and restrained in murderous intent, but you can still feel it... As long as the order is given, they can definitely chop down the target in front of them like a scarecrow!
The iron-blooded discipline has long since made them forget the emotional pressure required for slaughter. They kill without any fluctuation, as if they exist just for fighting and killing!
Thirteenth Niang said in a low voice, "I can train martial arts masters into killers who make the enemy tremble with fear, but I can't train each killer into a disciplined iron army!"
"This group of people seems to be able to travel to the Forty-Nine Cities!"
Ye Qiu turned his head and glanced at Thirteenth Niang. The special operations team leader who now holds the rank of major was much more mature and experienced. He asked with a smile.
"Thirteenth Niang, the wind is light tonight, and we are close to the city wall...will there be a wind blowing here?"
"Hiss... you want to use fire to attack? Oh my God! This is not possible. The head of state has already given an order... The capital is an important place for cultural relics and historical sites, and the use of fire is prohibited!"
"When we at the CIA are on a mission, we would never dare to set fire to the capital. If you do this, the head of state will definitely deal with you severely!"
Pang Chaoyun waved his hand, "There is no fire attack. Don't be nervous, Shi San Niang. Of course we know the ban and will not burn it! These ancient buildings were built in the Ming Dynasty. They are five or six hundred years old and we can't bear to part with them." What a waste!"
"Brother Suzuki, take out our treasure and let the brothers and sisters in the Northern Bureau open their eyes!"
Suzuki Tai nodded, and two Fuso special forces members behind him used their ribs to pry open a wooden box and took out a cylinder over one meter high.
The paint was grass green, with numbers and codes sprayed on it in white paint. Not even a single Chinese character could be found, and Thirteenth Mother was stunned to see it.
"This is?"
"I keep asking Thirteenth Niang if it's a bad situation here... That's because we're going to attack with smoke tonight!"
"Thirty kilograms of offensive smoke, a good thing that the Ryukyu Research Institute only mass-produced in small quantities at the beginning of the year, exclusively for use by special forces!"
"Our Chinese chemists have prepared the best formula, including sulfur, lime, chili powder... and extracts of belladonna, aconite and other poisonous plants!"
"Once the switch is turned on, the white phosphorus will continue to burn to release the poisonous dry powder inside... Thirty kilograms of wolf smoke can be sprayed continuously for an hour!"
"This time we brought sixty 30-kilogram cans and a batch of half-kilogram portable smoke generators, which can be carried by individual soldiers!"
While talking, another green cylinder the size of a fist was placed on the table!
"During the day, I pretended to be lurking and selected the place where the smoke would be emitted. Sixty cans of smoke can create a huge smoke belt covering the entire Imperial Hospital, Imperial Heavenly Prison, Ministry of Rites, including the Tsarist Russian Embassy, Honglu Temple, and parts of the Ministry of Rites!"
"There is a gentle breeze tonight, and this smoke belt will not dissipate soon. The area covered by the poisonous smoke is the area where we operate!"
"Even if there are omissions in certain areas, don't worry, we still have poisonous smoke bombs that we carry with us that can be replenished at any time!"
"The order from the head of state is that no brother can be harmed, and Doctor Huang needs to be rescued. We have no choice but to use a secret weapon!"
This was beyond Chun Shisanniang's cognitive realm. He couldn't believe that the one-meter-high iron jar in front of him could emit poisonous smoke for an hour?
Subconsciously, she reached out to touch it. Ye Qiu was so frightened that he quickly covered the pull-tab mechanism with his hand. "Oh... Thirteenth Mother, please be careful. If this opens accidentally, everyone in the room will choke." died!"
Thirteenth Niang retracted her hand, "Yes, the enemy choked to death, what should you do? Wouldn't it be the same if he choked to death? How can you save people?"
"No, we still have this..."
Pang Chaoyun took off a leather box from his waist, opened it and saw that there was a pig's mouth-like mask inside!
"This is a pig-mouth gas mask. Every soldier on the mission today has one. The pig's mouth is filled with charcoal that can filter the smoke and dust. Our movement will be unimpeded!"
At this point, Thirteenth Mother felt relieved. "Since you have a plan, why are you delaying? Let's do it! The wind is from the southeast today, and there will be no such thing as a nest!"
"But you have to be careful, the foreign devils will be suffocated here because it is close to the embassy!"
