Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

After talking for a while, Lin Qiang finally understood the whole story.

The special forces team sneaked all the way to the vicinity of Taiyuan Airport according to the plan. After several days of close reconnaissance, they finally figured out the airport's defense capabilities.

The airport's defense can be described as airtight. There is a watchtower every 15 meters, and the lights can illuminate every angle at night. There are a total of 13 armored vehicle patrol teams in the entire airport, and there is only a three-minute gap between each rotation.

Moreover, during this three-minute gap, there were searchlights and foot patrols, so the time required to safely sneak into the airport was less than one minute.

According to Lin Qiang, if this is the case, the special forces should retreat immediately and return by the same route.

However, things did not go as expected.

On the fifth day after arriving at the airport, the special forces conducted multiple reconnaissances and came up with a detailed plan, which was to disguise themselves as the Japanese transport troops and sneak in, place bombs inside the airport, and then evacuate the airport in this way.

A team of ten people will lie in ambush, while the rest of the team will be responsible for guiding the enemy from the outside and preparing for retreat.

During this period, the special forces used portable radios to contact the base many times, but all attempts ended in failure.

After discussion among all team members, they unanimously decided to continue completing the mission.

The Japanese bomber was like a bomb hanging over the base, which could fall and destroy the base at any time.

The purpose of the special forces' existence is to complete tasks that regular teams cannot complete.

Duan Peng said that if one chooses to give up when encountering any difficult target, it would go against the original intention of establishing the special forces.

The team members did not want to retreat like this. They did not want to go back and face Lin Qiang's disappointed expression. They also didn't know how they would respond if the Japanese bombers really came, and how to protect the people in the base.

Although they knew that this mission was a life-or-death mission, none of the team members were afraid and some even volunteered to sneak into the airport.

After a period of development, a complete plan emerged.

The special forces team was divided into four teams. Team one was led by Duan Peng himself and was responsible for sneaking into the airport to place bombs. Team two was responsible for covering the retreat and ensuring that Team one could safely evacuate the airport. Team three was tasked with opening up a quick retreat route. Team four was tasked with going around to the front of the airport and making the attack as loud as possible while Team one was retreating to attract the attention of the Japanese.

According to the team members, the front-end plan went smoothly. The special forces intercepted a Japanese material transport vehicle and successfully entered the airport disguised as Japanese soldiers.

Everything went smoothly, as if the plan was perfect.

The only minor incident was that one team member was five minutes behind the planned retreat time. These five minutes were enough time to re-place the explosives.

The main purpose of the special forces was to prevent the Japanese bombers from taking off, so the power of the bombs was not great and they were mainly for destruction.

However, no one expected that the problem would be with the explosives.

Duan Peng has knowledge that transcends time and has a unique understanding of making time bombs. The explosives for this operation were made by him personally.

No one expected such a problem to occur. Duan Peng had produced it many times and there had never been any problems.

The kneeling team member could no longer contain his emotions when he spoke, and choked up, "There have been no problems so many times before. I don't understand why it happened this time!"

"When the captain finished making it, he stayed up all night, checking it over and over again until he was sure there were no problems. Only then did he give the order to start the operation."

"Why, why did it have to be this time that something went wrong? Why wasn't it me who went back to check the bomb?"

Lin Qiang frowned and thought for a long time, but still didn't know what to say.

He really wanted to say, why not stop him, why not give up this action?

Lin Qiang's understanding of the special forces and Duan Peng made him realize that this was impossible.

If they wanted to give up, the special forces would not make any plans at the beginning, but would withdraw to the base along their own route.

"Go on, what happened next?"

The team member calmed himself down, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and continued to narrate what had happened.

After entering the airport for the second time to check for explosives, the team was able to withdraw safely.

The inspection results were chilling. All the bombs were still in place, but they could not explode because someone had destroyed the trigger device.

At this moment, the entire special forces team was caught in a vortex of mutual suspicion.

"and many more."

Lin Qiang interrupted, "Are you saying the bomb was sabotaged?"

"Yes, the captain even brought one back specially. It was indeed damaged and could not explode."

The team member's tone was very certain, and Lin Qiang saw the loyalty level above his head, 98, so it was definitely impossible for him to be the spy.

Lin Qiang did not check on all the team members immediately, but instead analyzed himself to see what the spy's purpose was.

If they wanted to destroy the special forces, they would definitely be ambushed or surrounded by the Japanese on the way. Could it be that the purpose of this spy was just to disrupt the special forces' actions?

Lin Qiang thought this possibility was very high. If the spy's purpose was to sabotage the operation, then he didn't need to do anything more. He just needed to make sure he could enter the airport.

Destroying the bomb will not expose his identity as a spy, and he can also lurk in the special forces for a long time and continuously pass on intelligence to the Japanese.

At this moment, Lin Qiang broke out in a cold sweat on his back, because he thought that if the special forces had not been sent out to carry out the mission, the outcome of this battle would most likely have been different.

Because once the Japanese get the intelligence, they will definitely not continue to use the strength of a regiment to encircle the base. The Japanese have only two choices: either give up, withdraw troops, and discuss a better combat plan.

Either mobilize a stronger team, or even mobilize bombers to assist in the battle.

With this spy around, it seems like there is no solution to the problem. Either the special forces' operation will fail, or the battle will fail.

What happened next was that Duan Peng was unable to repair the explosives at the airport and had to give up the operation.

However, at this time, a team member took the initiative to offer his own sacrifice in exchange for the success of this mission.

Naturally, this proposal was firmly opposed by Duan Peng, who ordered that no one was allowed to act on their own.

The team member kneeling on the ground had red eyes and clenched his fists tightly, tears streaming down his face. "If one of us hadn't worried about the captain's safety when he entered the airport the second time, then what happened next wouldn't have happened."

"When the captain returned with the destroyed explosives, something unexpected happened!"
