Chapter 282 Deep into the Enemy's Base Camp The night was as dark as ink, and the chill of the forest seemed to seep into one's bones.
Su Tang's raiding squad, like a group of cats stalking in the dark, silently parted the last clump of bushes on the outskirts of the No. 2 Battalion's main camp.
The sight before them made everyone hold their breath.
A brightly lit camp suddenly appeared before them.
Dozens of military tents were scattered across the open ground, and several huge campfires were burning brightly, crackling and illuminating the central area of the camp as if it were daytime. Everything was exactly the same as the intelligence Su Tang had intercepted through the walkie-talkie.
This seemingly large camp was shockingly poorly defended.
Inside the wooden sentry post at the camp entrance, two sentries on guard duty bobbed their heads like chicks pecking at rice, their rifles leaning against the wall, clearly fast asleep. Not a single patrol could be seen on the outer perimeter; the entire camp was so quiet that only the sound of the wind and the crackling of the campfire could be heard.
"Teacher Su... this... this went too smoothly, didn't it?" Gao Kai lowered his voice excitedly, his throat burning, his tone full of disbelief, "They really sent all their main force to attack our base? They just left our home base wide open like that, abandoning it?"
"It's not just that they don't want it, it's like they're practically inviting us in!" Wang Jin couldn't help but laugh at this point, his tense nerves completely relaxing. "That idiot Yuan Bao really thought our Third Battalion was a pushover, something we could bully however we wanted. Well, look what happened, we've almost emptied our home base!"
A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere immediately filled the group.
The intense tension and exhaustion from hours of trekking through the eerie swamp vanished instantly upon seeing the "undefended" city. Victory seemed within reach.
Gao Kai's heart was finally at ease, and his blood began to surge uncontrollably through his veins.
He turned his head and, by the light of the distant fire, looked at Su Tang's slender profile beside him, his admiration and love almost overflowing.
Amazing! Teacher Su is truly amazing!
The strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain and the empty city stratagem... these are strategies that I had only heard about in storytelling, but they actually became a reality in Teacher Su's hands, and she used them so skillfully.
From eliminating the sentries to annihilating the reconnaissance squad with zero casualties, to disguising identities and using false intelligence to lure the enemy deep into their territory, every step was textbook precise and interconnected, manipulating the arrogant and overbearing members of the Second Battalion at will.
He now has no doubt that as long as Teacher Su gives the order, these 28 men can rush in and, within ten minutes, pull down the command flag of Battalion No. 2, thus ending the exercise.
"Teacher Su," Gao Kai couldn't contain his excitement and volunteered, "The camp's defenses are so lax, this is the perfect opportunity for us to strike while the iron is hot! Give the order! I'll lead the first squad of brothers to charge from the front, and Liu Landi will lead the men to flank from the side. We'll catch them off guard and guarantee to finish the battle within five minutes and bring their flag back to you!"
"Yes! Teacher Su, give the order!"
"Take them down! Let them know how powerful our Third Battalion is!"
The soldiers behind him were all eager to fight, their eyes flashing with bloodlust, as if they could already see the Second Battalion soldiers running away in panic, crying for their parents.
Su Tang did not answer immediately.
She remained kneeling on one knee, steadily holding the binoculars, her sharp eyes calmly scanning the entire camp, not missing a single detail.
Everything went too smoothly.
It went by abnormally smoothly.
Yuan Bao may be stupid and arrogant, but his subordinates can't all be incompetent. According to the information over the walkie-talkie, the Second Battalion deployed four squads, and there should still be one squad left to guard the base.
