Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

Chapter 448 Reconnaissance and Infiltration

As night fell, Su Ting and Lao Lin studied the map intently. Occasionally, whispers of soldiers could be heard from the camp, and the firelight illuminated their weary yet determined faces.

“Look here,” Old Lin said, pointing to a valley on the map. “This place has complex terrain and is very likely the best choice for them to hide their base.”

"Yes, I think so too." Su Ting nodded in agreement. "But we can't be careless. We need to send out a small team to scout ahead and make sure we haven't fallen into an enemy trap."

At this moment, Zhao Bin walked over, a hint of excitement on his face. "Captain, I'll take a few brothers with me. We're fast and agile, and we won't be easily spotted."

After pondering for a moment, Su Ting nodded and said, "Alright, select some people to form a reconnaissance team. Be sure to act carefully and report back immediately if anything happens."

"Don't worry, Captain!" Zhao Bin stood at attention, saluted, and then turned around to prepare.

Meanwhile, Su Ting arranged for several groups of people to take turns on guard duty, and instructed everyone to remain vigilant in case of a sudden enemy attack. Everyone busied themselves with their respective tasks, and the atmosphere was exceptionally tense yet orderly.

About an hour later, Zhao Bin led his team away from the camp and headed towards the valley. Under the moonlight, their figures moved silently through the woods like ghosts.

"Watch your step and don't make any noise," Zhao Bin whispered to his team members, while also trying to be as careful as possible with every step he took. The entire team moved forward like a long snake through the darkness.

After a difficult trek of nearly half an hour, Zhao Bin and his group finally reached their target area.

In the distance, faint lights flickered in the valley, as if to prove that some unknown secrets were indeed hidden inside.

"Go in from two directions and cover each other." Zhao Bin gave a simple order, and the team members acted quickly, splitting up and going around to both sides of the valley.

Zhao Bin, on the other hand, chose to go directly from the middle, believing that his intuition and judgment would allow him to uncover more valuable intelligence.

As they approached the edge of the base, a sentry appeared not far ahead. Zhao Bin gestured for his companions to stop. Then he slowly moved closer to the sentry without being noticed.

Suddenly, he leaped up and slammed his elbow into the head of the unsuspecting enemy, knocking him unconscious instantly. He then quickly dragged the body behind some bushes and hid it.

"Safe!" After a brief report via wireless headset, the other team members also silently crossed the cordon and entered what was called "behind enemy lines."

Just as everyone was cautiously continuing their exploration, they suddenly heard faint conversations ahead—it sounded like several guards chatting.

Zhao Bin was secretly delighted: This was a great opportunity to gather more information! So he quietly waved to his teammates to spread out and find more suitable hiding places, while he crouched down and slowly approached the location of those people.

As they drew closer, the conversation became clearer and clearer...

"Do you think anything will happen tonight? I heard those guys got a really bad beating last time..." a guard said with some concern.

The other person was clearly more optimistic: "Don't worry, our place is airtight, how could they possibly find it? Besides, there's such a big place out there, it's not that easy to just stumble upon it by chance."

"That's true, but we still need to be careful. What if something really happens?" The man from before was still unwilling to give up.

Having heard this, Zhao Bin had a basic understanding of the layout and possible defensive measures here. He planned to take this opportunity to investigate further, hoping to discover something unexpected...

Meanwhile, Lao Lin on the other side had finished compiling all the relevant data. Facing Su Ting's questioning gaze, he answered confidently.

"Based on the information we have now, as long as we can accurately grasp the timing of the attack and make reasonable personnel deployments, we should be able to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time."

Chapter 449 Valuable Intelligence

Zhao Bin secretly made a decision. He decided not to wait any longer and, while the enemy was not on high alert, to infiltrate the base directly to gather more valuable intelligence.

So he quietly signaled to his teammates to take action, and they all nodded, ready to follow their captain's instructions.

"We'll split into three groups and try to gather as much information as possible," Zhao Bin instructed in a low voice. "Be careful to stay hidden, and retreat immediately if you are discovered."

He then led the way deeper into the base. After a thorough search, they discovered a room that appeared to be very important, with relatively few guards at the entrance, suggesting it was likely the command center.

Zhao Bin waved to his companions to stay in place and keep watch, while he slowly approached the house.

Just as he was about to approach, a soldier came out of the room, forcing Zhao Bin to quickly hide in the shadows. After the soldier left, he cautiously moved to the door.

The door was ajar, and through the crack, one could hear people discussing something inside. Driven by curiosity, Zhao Bin gently pushed the door open a crack, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

The room was filled with various high-tech devices, and several people in uniforms were sitting together studying a map.

"Latest intelligence indicates that the enemy has begun taking action against us," one of them said. "We must find their location as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Another person chimed in, "But this place is too remote, making it difficult for us to pinpoint their exact location. Besides, the weather has been unstable lately, and satellites aren't functioning properly..."

Hearing this, Zhao Bin felt a surge of secret joy: this confirmed his earlier guess—the enemy was indeed prepared. However, he also realized the urgency of the situation and the need to quickly relay the message back to camp so Su Ting could make further decisions.

Just as they were preparing to retreat, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Zhao Bin's heart tightened, and he immediately signaled to his companions to prepare for a response. Sure enough, not long after, several fully armed soldiers rushed into the room.

"Sir, there seems to be some noise outside!" one of them said breathlessly.

The people inside tensed up immediately and began quickly packing up their documents and preparing to evacuate. Seeing this, Zhao Bin knew that there was no time to delay, so he decisively ordered his men to retreat in the chaos and quickly informed the other team members of the evacuation plan via radio.

It was late at night when they returned to camp. Everyone looked exhausted, but their faces betrayed their excitement. After hearing the news Zhao Bin brought back, Su Ting frowned, pondering the next step.

"Based on the information you provided, although the enemy has become aware of this, we may still be able to seize this opportunity."

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "However, this also means that we can no longer act rashly as before, and we must formulate a more thorough and detailed action plan."

Old Lin nodded in agreement: "That's right. What we need to do now is to adjust our tactical arrangements as soon as possible to ensure that we can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy in the shortest possible time."

At this moment, Xiao Jie, who had been silent all along, spoke up and asked, "Captain, so what are we planning to do next?"

Su Ting looked at Zhao Bin and Lao Lin beside him, his eyes gleaming with determination. "We must use the information we obtained by accident to design a trap," he said, "to make the enemy think we are completely unprepared, and then crush them in one fell swoop."

"So how do you plan to set up this trap?" Zhao Bin asked impatiently.

“It’s very simple,” Su Ting smiled slightly.

"First, we need to deliberately create some seemingly chaotic but noticeable feints, such as dispersing our forces or increasing patrol frequency. Then..." He paused, seemingly considering the best solution.

"And then?" everyone asked almost in unison, clearly showing their keen interest in the plan.

Chapter 450 Hidden Place

Su Ting smiled slightly and continued.

"Then, we will send out several small teams to ambush the enemy at several key locations where they might appear."

These locations must be carefully chosen, neither too conspicuous nor too hidden, just enough to attract the enemy's attention while simultaneously offering them enough enticement to make them believe we can be easily captured.

Old Lin nodded and added.

"Meanwhile, we'll set up some camouflage around the perimeter, simulating the camp's daily activities to make the enemy think we're completely unprepared. But in reality, all the key facilities have already been moved underground or to other concealed locations."

“This sounds like a good plan,” Zhao Bin pondered for a moment, “but how can we ensure that we can lure the enemy into the trap?”

Su Ting revealed a sly smile, "This requires us to do some tampering within the enemy's ranks. I will contact intelligence personnel and have them spread some information at the appropriate time, such as problems with our weapons depot or disruptions to our supply lines."

This will naturally lure the enemy into a trap, leading them to attempt to destroy what we call our 'Achilles' heel' in one fell swoop.

"What if we get exposed?" Xiao Jie asked, a hint of worry on his face.

Su Ting patted his chest confidently.

"We will have several emergency response teams on standby. They will provide immediate support should the situation deteriorate."

More importantly, we will have contingency plans, such as backup communication systems and concealed escape routes, to ensure that we can quickly evacuate and regroup in an emergency.

Zhao Bin nodded in agreement, "This plan sounds feasible. So, what are the specific divisions of labor and arrangements for the next step?"

“Good question.” Su Ting stood up and took out a map, spreading it out.

"We need to divide into several teams: the first team is responsible for setting up illusions, creating disorderly but attention-grabbing behavior; the second team is responsible for the actual ambush, preparing for the ambush and attack at the designated location."

The third team is a mobile force, ready to provide support and respond to emergencies at any time; finally, the intelligence group is responsible for spreading disinformation to confuse the enemy.

He pointed to several key locations on the map, saying, "These are our main operational areas. Everyone needs to be familiar with these locations and be prepared with appropriate countermeasures."

Everyone crowded around, beginning to study the specific tactical deployment in detail. The discussion continued all night, until the sky began to lighten, when everyone finally ended the meeting, exhausted but excited.

The following morning, each group began operations according to plan.

Zhao Bin led the first team to wander around inside and outside the camp, creating a chaotic atmosphere.

Old Lin led the second team to ambush at several key strategic locations, patiently waiting for an opportunity; meanwhile, intelligence personnel began to spread information through various channels, attempting to lure the enemy into taking action.

As evening approached, everything seemed to be proceeding as planned. Zhao Bin stood on a high point, observing the surroundings through binoculars.

Suddenly, an urgent voice came through the radio: "Report to the captain, enemy patrol spotted, about one kilometer away, heading in our direction!"

Zhao Bin's heart tightened, but he remained calm. "Everyone, proceed according to plan. Don't panic. Wait until they get closer before making your move!"

As night falls, the moon hangs in the sky, casting a soft, silvery glow.

The entire base was unusually quiet, broken only by the occasional bird calls from afar. Zhao Bin gripped his gun tightly, took a deep breath, and kept his eyes fixed on the movements ahead.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from afar, and a group of dark figures came into view. The leader was an officer, holding a flashlight and shining it around.

"They're here!" Zhao Bin said in a low voice, signaling to his team members to prepare for action.

With a deep command, everyone held their breath, as if time had stood still. Zhao Bin moved slightly, searching for the best position…

"Wait, something seems wrong..." The officer suddenly stopped, his brow furrowed.

Chapter 451 Adjusting Tactics

Zhao Bin's heart skipped a beat. Had their operation been discovered? He quickly signaled his team to hold their positions and observe the situation. The officer began looking around, his flashlight occasionally sweeping through the bushes.

"They don't seem to have found anything..." a teammate whispered to the side.

Zhao Bin shook his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on the officer. "Don't rush, wait a little longer."

Suddenly, the officer's flashlight shone on a tree branch on the ground. He then crouched down and picked something up. He examined it closely, a cold smile playing on his lips.
