Chapter 3020 Big Fish Appears

The time finally came to the day when the operation began. Alsim, who had made full preparations for the crossing of the river to capture prisoners, was now ready for everything except the east wind.

The night fell and the moon was in the sky.

The bright and desolate moonlight filled the land by the river. Alsim, who led 30 commandos, stood by the river ready to go. Malashenko, who was responsible for personally commanding the operation, had just arrived at the scene by car.

"The other side of the river is the territory of the devils, Alsim. It is extremely difficult to sneak into the enemy-occupied area to capture prisoners late at night and then cross the river to bring them back. I ask you one last time, are you sure these people are enough?"

Malashenko, who asked himself that he would not cross the river himself and was not proficient in infantry warfare, and would never interfere in areas he was not good at, gave Alsim full power delegation.

How to fight this kind of secret surprise attack by a small force that is equivalent to special operations depends on how Alsim himself plans. The military organs of the leader army are only responsible for providing maximum cooperation and assistance.

In simple terms, the order is given by Malashenko, and how to fight the battle depends on Alsim's personal decision.

Alsim has never disappointed him on the battlefield, and Malashenko has reason to believe that this time will be the same.

The entire battle plan was also reviewed and approved by Malashenko himself, and the details that still have room for improvement were also supplemented by the military organs. It seems that as long as the Slav Superman arrives, the Japanese invaders can be easily defeated and a great victory can be achieved.

But no matter how weak the Japanese devils are, they are regular troops with a full range of arms.

Malashenko can ask Alsim this question at this time, and the most important core purpose is only one - to warn Alsim not to underestimate the enemy, always remember that he is outnumbered and must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

Of course, Alsim understood the implication of the commander's words, and knew that it was a good intention, and the firm answer that he answered immediately came out.

"Comrade Commander, rest assured, we have made full preparations for this operation. There is an old Chinese saying that "the quality of soldiers is more important than the quantity". The 30 commandos participating in this operation, including myself, are all veteran combat engineers who participated in the Battle of Berlin, and they were all selected by me personally. The latest year of service is 1942, and we will definitely be able to capture the Japanese leader alive and tie him up and bring him across the river."

After hearing this, Malashenko almost saw Chen Weiguo standing behind Alsim at a glance. It was obvious where this "old Chinese saying" came from, and it was learned and applied immediately.

But this is also a good thing, at least it proves that Alsim and Chen Weiguo really get along well.

Being able to let Alsim take the initiative to speak and borrow words to use is not just an ordinary recognition, but a considerable recognition that he has been regarded as a comrade.

After hearing this, Malashenko nodded quietly in silence, staring at the 30 fully armed commandos behind Alsim. Although they are all combat engineers, they are completely different from the past.

The soldiers, including Alsim, were lightly dressed. None of them wore protective gear and all of them removed their plate armor and bulletproof vests. For the sake of concealment, they did not even wear helmets. They all wore camouflage headbands made of branches and weeds according to local conditions on their foreheads.

Malashenko knew that this was Chen Weiguo's suggestion. Alsim had mentioned this to him earlier.

Chen Weiguo, who had fought fiercely behind the Japanese invaders for many years, was very experienced in how to dazzle the eyes of the Japanese invaders. He personally proposed that the camouflage headband made of local materials was more useful than helmets in such operations.

It seems that Alsim finally adopted Chen Weiguo's opinion and reached an agreement. Malashenko was relieved that the two could get along to such an extent.

Chen Weiguo's experience plus Alsim's combat effectiveness, to be honest, even Malashenko could not imagine how much ability the Japanese invaders on the opposite side had to have to escape.

Seeing that the comrade in front of him had nodded, Alsim turned around and immediately gave an order.

"Let's get started!"

The three unpowered rubber boats that had been prepared in advance were immediately pulled and dragged by the soldiers who rushed forward and sent to the surface of the river by manpower.

Chen Weiguo, who was in the same boat with Alsim, turned over and entered the boat with an AK on his back and a paddle in his hand. As soon as his lower body was stable, he immediately paddled into the water and began to paddle vigorously.

Without slogans or lights, the three rubber boats, which prioritized concealment, quickly crossed the river during the gaps between the two patrols of the Japanese army in the first and second half of the night.

Firstly, the weather was good. Tonight, there were no clouds and the visibility was excellent. The bright and desolate cold moonlight illuminated the river surface, and pointed out the direction of the target landing point for Alsim's three boats.

Secondly, the water was calm. The surface of the Ussuri River, which had not yet entered the flood season, was just right recently, far from the level of turbulent water, which created an opportunity for Alsim and his party to use a human-powered rubber boat to cross the river.

Without saying a word, he rowed hard and finally succeeded in reaching the beach.

Alsim, who set foot on the Japanese-occupied area for the first time, had no time to think. He jumped down as soon as he reached the beach. He stepped on the soft mud on the river bank and used all his strength. He gritted his teeth and relied on manpower to drag the heavy rubber boat ashore with the soldiers.

"Leave two people to hide the boat, and the rest follow me!"

The bright moonlight with excellent visibility not only provided battlefield convenience for Alsim and his party, but also for the Japanese devils.

Since Alsim could cross the Ussuri River with the help of the moonlight, the devils could also see the rubber boats on the river bank with the help of the moonlight.

Not wanting to be exposed in advance, Alsim acted cautiously and directly dragged the rubber boat that had been washed ashore into a low-lying area that had been selected and hidden.

He threw all the oars into the boat and then covered it with a large amount of weeds and branches that were carried across the river with the boat.

Unless the Japanese army came close to check, there was no way they could see anything unusual.

Alsim, who left two team members to hide the boat, had already taken a step ahead and led most of the other soldiers to the predetermined ambush site as planned.

Where to hide the boat and where to ambush, these were all planned on the other side of the river, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the first action after washing ashore.

The Japanese who patrolled the riverside every day didn't know that the Red Army on the other side of the river had carefully selected a burial place for them. Tonight was the time for these beasts to sacrifice their lives.

They took the soldiers who arrived first and hid behind the small earth slope and on the reverse slope, occupying a relatively high ground without exposing themselves.

Alsim, who was lying on the ground, waited until the soldiers in the hidden boat returned to the team, and then he lowered his voice and asked.

"Have you dealt with it?"

"It's dealt with, covered tightly, marked, and can be found immediately when evacuating."

"Very good!"

So far, the first phase of Alsim's plan has been completed step by step and 100%, without any accidents during the period, and it is completely according to the plan.

Now, just wait for those Japanese soldiers who are swaying when walking to bump into the bayonets themselves.

"Get ready! Don't shoot without my order! Get your knives ready!"

In view of the special nature of this operation of "no firing unless necessary", and the characteristic provided by Chen Weiguo that "the Japanese army is good at close combat", Alsim, who thought about it again and again, took the initiative to ask Malashenko and made a bold decision.

In addition to the necessary hot weapons, the 30 carefully selected commandos also fully strengthened the configuration of cold weapons.

No longer limited to bayonets, but sabers specially borrowed from the cavalry units of the Far East Military Region, with scabbards and sabers in hand, aiming at the top of the devil's head.

This is not a performance art that is looking for trouble and boredom, but a targeted measure based on the premise of "trying not to fire the first shot".

If it is really possible not to fire the first shot, then cold weapons must be used to deal with the whole scene.

In this case, if there are conditions to prepare more handy and more advantageous cold weapons in advance, why should I use traditional bayonets and daggers to solve the battle?

Tactics are not dead, and people are even more alive.

Rigid dogmatism is not desirable or useful. Surprise victory is one of the characteristics of combat engineers. Countless shocked souls died in the roar of combat engineers' explosives.

So it was not surprising that Alsim could come up with this trick, and Malashenko quickly took care of the matter of borrowing 30 good sabers without saying a word.

Good guns, good cannons, good tanks, the leader's army can have as many as they want, and they are always full.

But the leader's army really doesn't have sabers, except for the only one heirloom sword of the deputy commander.

So since Alsim needs it, Malashenko has no choice but to ask for it.

Fortunately, the Far Eastern Military Region already has a large number of cavalry units, which were originally configured based on the experience of the Nomonhan Battle to deal with the Japanese's large infantry pig charge.

The best sabers can be as many as you want, and they are definitely used to chop the Japanese. Now they are really used to deal with the Japanese.

Holding the AK tightly in his hand, hanging the saber on the belt around his waist, waiting for the Japanese to come in silence, Alsim, who was waiting impatiently, calmed down, raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch in the moonlight, and found that there was not much time left.

If the patrol time of the Japanese soldiers did not change temporarily, then according to the practice of many consecutive days, the Japanese patrol team would soon march to our faces.

"Do you think the Japanese soldiers will come?"

""

Alsim, who had just finished looking at the time on the watch, heard a low voice in his ear, and then blurted out a low voice answer with a smile towards Chen Weiguo.

"What? Can't keep calm?"

"No, but I can't say for sure. Maybe I think too much. I always have a bad feeling that the Japanese soldiers will make trouble for us tonight."

Battlefield intuition is something that is hard to describe. There is no fixed rule to follow, and it is even more difficult to explain. Veterans who have experienced life and death basically have it.

Alsim understands this intuition and agrees with it even more. He knows that this is the same as the familiar feeling he had when dealing with the Nazis.

In terms of understanding the Japanese army, among all 31 people present, including Alsim, Chen Weiguo is the "number one expert".

Alsim, who was crawling on the slope, took Chen Weiguo's words to heart and took it seriously. Then he raised his mouth.

"Let's see how much meat the devils can send us."

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, maybe ten minutes, or even longer.

When the sound of a car coming from far away came into his ears, Chen Weiguo, who was concentrating, immediately became excited.

"Listen! It's the sound of a car! The devils are driving over here, not walking! The situation has changed!"

"I'm not deaf, I can hear it! Let's see first!"

The Japanese patrol gave up walking and drove instead. This was indeed an unprecedented emergency in many consecutive days.

But Alsim, with a calm face, was still able to remain calm. As long as the Japanese didn't drive a tank, there would be a way to deal with it. Alsim asked himself if his soldiers could do it.

Soon, the Japanese convoy with roaring engine noise drove right under their noses and entered their field of vision.

"Fuck! Three trucks! There must be at least 40 Japanese. What the hell is making such a big noise!?"

"Speak Russian. I don't understand your Northeastern dialect."

Realizing that he had lost his composure in a hurry, Chen Weiguo, who was fighting with the Red Army for the first time on the battlefield, hurriedly repeated it in Russian. Hearing this, Alsim continued to speak in a deep voice.

"Is there a difference between the Japanese truck soldiers and the two-legged infantry?"

"Yes, in the field army, only the elite Japanese usually ride in trucks, at least they have to be the elite among the general Japanese."

"Oh, interesting, I want to see what this elite bow-legged looks like."

The voice on the top of the reverse slope has not yet fallen, but the Japanese convoy coming down the slope has slowly stopped.

Except for the machine gun and machine gunner mounted on the front driving building, the remaining Japanese in the car have all opened the door and got out.

In the front driving building on the other side, except for the driver who continued to stay, the Japanese in the co-pilot seat of the three trucks got out. Among them, the Japanese who got out of the co-pilot seat of the second truck directly shocked Chen Weiguo who was staring at it.

"Damn it! That's Nakamura, Nakamura Hiroki! The Japanese colonel, we've caught a big fish!"

"Are you sure? How did you know that?!"

Alsim was shocked when he heard this. He had learned about the Japanese military ranks in advance and knew that the Japanese colonel was equivalent to a colonel. If this was true, he would have caught a big fish with one net, and it would definitely be worth the trip.

"I won't make a mistake! I can recognize this old devil even if he turns to ashes! This bastard has been in Northeast China since 1939. He participated in several encirclement and suppression campaigns against the Anti-Japanese United Army. He was only a major back then."

"I airdropped back to Northeast China to gather intelligence a while ago, and only then did I know that this bastard had not been transferred away and had been promoted to colonel. I didn't expect to catch him here! I can't be wrong, it must be him! The tone of his speech is the same as in 1939. I almost killed this old devil back then, just a little bit!"

Looking at Chen Weiguo gritting his teeth and holding the dirt and grass in his palms, Alsim knew that he definitely didn't make a mistake this time. The deep hatred would never make a mistake in the enemy.

At the same time, Colonel Nakamura Hiroki, who was unaware that he was being monitored from a high position, was still pretending to be pretentious.

Slinging a command knife and posing as a general, he looked at the group of devils who had just got off the car and lined up in a neat line, and turned around and spoke to the major who got off the co-pilot seat of the first car.
