Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

In this way, Jiandao and his commandos waited anxiously for another three days. On June 6th, the Huwei Army had been stationed outside Singapore for as many as six days.

"Commander, it's been almost a week. Why is there no movement from the Ministry of War? Whether it's war or peace, you have to tell me. If you wait like this, I think the morale of the soldiers will drop." Senior generals came to Cai E to complain.

Cai E was so anxious that his mouth was full of embarrassment, and his usual chic and elegant was gone. He slapped the table and shouted: "Shut up!"

Everyone had never seen the commander get so angry, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Since the imperial court arranges it like this, it makes sense. What do you know? Don't you think you are wiser than the army department or the emperor! Go back and bring your soldiers to me. No one is allowed before receiving the order from the army department. Stir me up, and don’t make rumors to make trouble, otherwise, once it is found out, it will be done according to military law!” The veins on Cai E’s neck are bulging, and people no longer dare to complain, and they all go back to their garrison obediently up.

After everyone left, Cai E sighed and said to Hong Zhaolin: "Old Hong, don't say they are anxious. I have been so anxious these days. What do you mean by the Ministry of the Army? Whether it is advancing or retreating. Let’s also give an explanation. Our 10,000+ army is gathered here. Even though we have repeatedly stated military discipline, there are still some bad behaviors such as sneaking around and molesting women. Maybe when the morale of the army is slackened, there will be big troubles!”

Hong Zhaolin smiled and said, "Then why did the commander reprimand them just now?"

"Of course, no matter what, I'm the head of the Tiger's Mighty Army. Even if I'm unhappy and can't show it, we should be considerate."

"Since the commander can say such a thing, it shows that you are utterly loyal to the court and the emperor. I think so, what kind of people are in the Ministry of War, Lord Feng, Lord Xu, and Lord Wu Peifu, these people are military geniuses of the empire , Don’t they know how to enter the army as soon as possible? It shows that the Ministry of the Army is actively preparing countermeasures, trying to find ways to keep the hostages safe, so that we can successfully attack the main city.”

Cai E gradually calmed down, and felt that what Hong Zhaolin said made sense, and asked, "Zhaolin, tell me what countermeasures the court will come up with?"

"Commander, do you still remember that during the World War five years ago, the imperial court sent a secret force to break into the center of the Anglo-French coalition forces and rescued the envoy stationed in France..."

"You mean to say that the imperial court will use this army this time?" Cai E shook his head again, "Impossible, impossible, if this army comes to Singapore, it will meet with me first, why come here? Now there's not even a shadow."

Hong Zhaolin chuckled and said, "I'm just guessing, but I'm worried that even if this army participates in the rescue, will they be able to rescue the 238 hostages?"

Singapore, the secret residence of the vanguard troops.In the early morning of the third day, another intelligence finally came from Beijing. An intelligence agent from the Security Bureau at the Bukit Panjang Post Office intercepted a love letter written by a Singaporean soldier to his girlfriend.In addition to the pain of lovesickness, the letter also explained that his sudden transfer was because he was sent to guard the hostages, and the address of the letter was Tekong Island!

In order to confirm the reliability of this information, Jian Dao sent two spies to the Bukit Panjang area. He confirmed the reliability of the above information from a farmer delivering vegetables and fruits, and then they found the farmer's daughter , that is, the recipient, the girl said that a group of "big men" were indeed locked up in the Governor's Mansion on Tekong Island, and his fiancé was on duty on the island.

Jiandao was overjoyed, and he decided to use paratrooper tactics to carry out a surprise attack immediately, because according to our understanding, Cuiyun Villa is guarded by heavy soldiers equipped with heavy weapons and is heavily guarded.In order to implement this plan, he immediately sent a secret telegram to the Supreme Command and proposed a bold attack plan, which was quickly approved by Feng Xianghua.

Thus, a special rescue operation plan began!The Emperor himself named this mission "Thunder"!

In the early morning of June 6, several Singaporean speedboats on normal patrols approached the port of Pulau Tekong.On the deck were lazy sailors.No one could tell that they were the commandos responsible for rescuing the hostages.At this time, they had already disguised themselves as Yuan Nijun soldiers, carrying all kinds of weapons and equipment. This task was undoubtedly to extract meat from the tiger's mouth, but the sharp knife was fully confident that it could complete this important task.

In order to be safe, the sharp knife led people to go ashore first to find out the truth.They ran into a guard at the port. According to the information obtained in advance, Jian Dao accurately reported the contact password, and chatted with the guard. Jian Dao said that his team was here to deliver supplies to the island. According to the government's order, troops provided supplies to the island every day, so the guards didn't care.

"Brother, why don't you bring something delicious? To be honest, I just like seeing you people..." said the guard with joy.

"Why?" Jiandao smiled on his face, but secretly he was highly vigilant.

"Do you still need to ask? When you come, you can eat and drink, of course you are happy. You can't even see a person on this island all day long. It's miserable." The guard said to a person on the deck. Looking around in a black cloth pocket.

The sharp knife looked at the guard's expression with a smile, but quietly stretched out his right hand towards *'s military dagger, because he knew that most of those pockets contained all kinds of weapons and equipment needed for this operation, as long as the guard felt something was wrong, the sharp knife would immediately It will end his life!

"Dude, do you have any wine? Although alcohol is strictly prohibited on the island, what can happen to such a ghostly place? I work so hard to guard here, can't I even get a drink?" the guard said with a flattering smile.

Jiandao also smiled, and took out two bottles of Daqu from one pocket, handed them to the guard, and said in a serious manner: "Brother, I have good intentions, if the higher-ups find out, don't tell others that I gave you this wine." Yes, otherwise both of us will have to walk around without food."

"Hey, how can it be?" The guard uncorked the bottle impatiently and drank, his eyes became a little straight after a while.

While chatting, the sharp knife suddenly said: "I heard that the hostages were executed in secret? Then why are we still guarding here?"

The mindless guard said solemnly: "Who said that, I saw them this morning." Then, the guard pointed to the position halfway up the mountain on the island and said, "They were detained on the halfway up the mountain." In the red mansion."

The sharp knife chatted with the guard for a while, and then left the port pier, came to a forest, quickly formed a formation, and secretly investigated the topography of the island.

Tekong Island is an island off the northeast coast of Singapore. It is a military reserved area. It is about 8 kilometers long from east to west and 1.3 to 1.7 kilometers wide from north to south. The terrain is like a cashew nut. The entire island covers an area of ​​1019 hectares.The island has ups and downs, and the largest mountain is called Fort Canning Mountain. Yuan Shikai's "Cuiyun Villa" was built on the mountainside.

Fort Canning Mountain is located in the center of the island. The Governor's Mansion is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only one side has a road between the village and the valley below.Although there is a path up the mountain, the path is rugged and steep. People usually take an iron-locked car to reach the mountainside. There is a winch on the mountainside. It can be used, and a higher level of password may be needed to activate the winch above, but the sharp knife and the others don't know what this password is yet.The soldiers stationed on Tekong Island feel that some of them are arranged in the valley at the foot of the mountain. According to observations, the strength of the guards in the Governor's Mansion is about one reinforced company, that is, 300 people.Once there is a change in the mansion, the garrison in the village valley will quickly climb to the mountainside to support through iron-locked cars.In a word, Yuan Shikai really tried his best to imprison the hostages in this mansion where "one husband is in charge, and ten thousand husbands are not allowed to open it".

The sharp knife led the team to scout the terrain near the mansion and the defense of the rebels.All the roads up the mountain have been blocked by the rebels. If they attack by force, at least one division will be needed, and it will take time. Even if they succeed, the hostages will have already died under random gunfire.

Soon, through the binoculars, they found a small triangular open space overgrown with weeds next to the mansion, which was an abandoned small shooting range.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 5 Devil's Masterpiece

Airborne!The sharp knife immediately thought of this bold idea. Judging from the terrain there, it was a very good airborne field.But the problem came again, the high mountain was very windy, and it was difficult to ensure an accurate landing point for airborne.

If it doesn't work, use a plane to land!Yes, glider!A plan to rescue the hostages with a glider immediately appeared in Jiandao's mind.

After figuring out the situation, they immediately began to formulate a specific rescue plan.Jiandao's opinion is: "If it is difficult to carry out a strong attack from the ground, there are only two options: one is to use paratroopers to parachute, and the other is to use a glider to land. However, the landing field behind the mansion is very difficult for the implementation of these two methods. They are all too small, and the number of people participating in the battle can only be limited to about 20 people. To deal with the guards of a brigade around the mansion, at least the same number of troops must be used.

Zhan Lang said decisively: "The paratroopers are not right. You think it will take a certain amount of time to land from the plane to the ground. It is very likely that we will be shot to death in the air before we land."

"Yes, captain, I think it's better to use the method of landing by plane."

"Yes, use a plane to land..."

Soon, the sharp knife reached an agreement with the team members, and decided to boldly use the glider landing method to rescue the hostages.And immediately reported this plan to the Ministry of War by radio. After about half an hour, the Ministry of the Army called back and proposed a more specific plan. 12 gliders will be transferred from an air force base in Kuala Lumpur. .At that time, No. 1 and No. 2 aircraft will land first to cover the landing of the follow-up aircraft; Jiandao will take No. 3 aircraft and rescue the hostages together with the commandos of No. 4 aircraft. Reinforcement on the mountainside, and then use a light aircraft to land at the shooting range, and send the hostages to the port of Tekong Island, where the Nanyang Fleet will arrange five high-level patrol gunboats in advance to take the hostages out of Tekong Island.Next, they further studied the key points of action such as entering the mansion, withdrawing from the battle, and covering support, as well as the details of related issues.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the specific action plan had been discussed. The eyes of the sharp knife flashed coldly, and he said to the 70 commandos present: "We must succeed in this operation, otherwise 238 lives will be ruined by us." hand!

At 7:30 in the evening, the commandos came to a beach in the westernmost part of Tekong Island according to the plan they had contacted in advance. It is relatively open and far away from the defenders. It is the best place for the glider to land.At this time, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the airflow on the island was very stable. The next thing to do was to wait for the arrival of the 12 gliders.

Not long after, only the whistling of the plane's engine could be heard faintly overhead, and the sharp knife looked up, and it was coming! The 12 gliders were filmed in a straight line, slowly lowered their flying attitude in the air, and finally stopped at the beachhead with a final swipe.

The glider used for this operation was the finest Bluebird glider in the Imperial Air Force.This type of aircraft is a high-wing monoplane with a length of 11.3 meters and a wingspan of 22 meters. It has a circular steel frame covered with wood and can carry a driver and several passengers. The maximum towing speed has reached 160 kilometers per hour.This glider will drop its oversized wheels after take-off and rely on a main skid when landing.Due to its low landing speed, it is very suitable for landing on a variety of complex terrains.In order to reduce the landing distance, designers often wrap some barbed wire on the skid.

Jiandao was overjoyed and led the team members to board the plane separately according to the plan in advance. In Singapore in June, the weather was very humid, and the cabin was even more stuffy and unbearable.The team members all felt a little dazed and out of breath.But no one complained. They all held their breath and stared at Fort Canning Mountain in the distance.

When flying over the Fort Canning Mountains, the sharp knife found that the position in the glider was not good enough to see the situation below, so he pulled out the knife and cut a hole in the cloth bilge between his legs, and bent down from time to time to observe The situation below, and loudly tell the driver what you see.At the same time, a gust of fresh air was blown into the cabin, and everyone felt much better.

"Prepare to land!" The sharp knife aimed at the shooting range behind the mansion, made sure that there were no defenders there, and then ordered all the glider to adjust their flight positions and land in order.

Twelve Bluebird gliders slowly circled and landed from an altitude of 12 meters.The driver turned to the sharp knife, showing a look of surprise. He didn't believe that what he saw was the planned landing site. If they hit the cliff, they would all be finished.The sharp knife bent down to check carefully again, and then ordered to the driver: "Yes, it is here, hurry up, and we will throw you down if we delay the important matter!"

The glider continued to land. The open space behind the mansion was not that spacious, and the slope was much steeper than expected, with rocks and loose pebbles everywhere.But now that it was impossible to return, the pilot began to pull the lever to slow the glider.Then there was a blunt bang, and the glider fell heavily on the ground, swaying and sliding forward. The bilge and wings touched the ground successively with some damage, but it finally landed safely and no one was injured. More than 200 meters away.

The sharp knife stayed in place for a while, watching carefully in the direction of the mansion, but it was quiet there, and no one noticed his actions.At this time, the rest of the glider landed safely, and the team members immediately assembled to check the firearms and equipment.

"Action!" With the command of the sharp knife, the first and second teams formed two sniper teams, and quietly slipped to the hidden positions on the top and left side of the mansion, while the third team stayed in the open space of the shooting range, responsible for protecting the glider and Take the hostages on board.The rest followed the sharp knives and broke in through the front door and window.

"Sniper team in position, good line of sight."

"Number two in place, good line of sight."

"No. [-] is in position, and the vision is poor. Please ask No. [-] for assistance."

"Number seven is in place, number eight is in place,"

"The response team is all in place!"

"Give it to me!" The sharp knife made a charging gesture and led the team members to rush towards the gate.The guards at the gate didn't know what was going on. They also saw the glider landing just now, and they thought it was an emergency landing, so they ran over to prepare for rescue.Without further ado, the commandos used daggers to finish off the twenty gatekeepers.The commandos who followed quickly occupied the machine gun position at the door.There was a sentry next to the winch on the left side of the door. He seemed to have just reacted. He raised his gun and was about to shoot. The war wolf threw a throwing knife, which was nailed to the sentry's throat impartially. With the sound of "ho ho", Zhan Lang rushed over with a few strides, and ended his life with a single blow.

The sharp knife led the team into the courtyard.In the ear room near the door, a guard was sitting in front of the radio station, preparing to send a report.The sharp knife kicked over his seat, and smashed the radio station with the butt of the gun.Looking up and seeing a balcony outside, he stepped on the shoulders of a team member and jumped out.

Suddenly, he found a large group of figures shaking in the opposite window. After careful identification, they were the imprisoned hostages, and someone was watching the attack in a daze.After being arrested for nearly a month, the hostages were detained in many places, and they felt numb to everything. They didn't believe that anyone would touch such a ghostly place to rescue themselves.
