While Deng Chenggong led the Flying Eagle Special Forces to conduct special operations training in water, Wu Sanshan and Wang Chao temporarily stopped recruiting the recruitment work according to Deng Chenggong's instructions. While leading the militia under their jurisdiction, they focused on strengthening the maintenance of the militia teams that had been formed, and took out common methods used by the People's Party. The militia had nothing to do to pick up water and chop firewood for the people. In short, they should close the distance with the people as much as possible.

As a result, when Deng Chenggong's underwater special training was over, Wu Sanshan and others were happy to find that the people in several villages were not as disgusted as before. When they saw their arrival, they would warmly entertain them for dinner. Even some enlightened parents agreed to send their children to their team to join the army. This completely different contrast from the time of formation made the two regiment leaders admire Deng Chenggong's method. In fact, they knew that this was just a means of their captain plagiarizing others.

In order to test the training level of the special forces in recent times, Deng Chenggong specially summarized the information collected by Wang Chao in recent times. Finally, the special forces' first battle was placed in a gathering place for bandits called Xiaoshuibo Liangshan. These bandits relied on their familiarity with the local terrain, and the number of people and many guns and ships, and have always been hated by local people.

Originally, the local government also organized people to encircle and suppress, but they returned empty-handedly. In addition, they rarely attacked the government's fleet, and over time the government turned a blind eye to them. However, according to Wang Chao's investigation, the leader of this water bandit gathering place seemed to have something to do with a senior government official in Baoding Prefecture. The goods robbed by the water bandits were often sold out by the other party in exchange for the guns, ammunition and supplies they needed. This situation of collusion between officials and bandits made the following county and town officials helpless with the water bandits.

As North China became increasingly chaotic in this era, the number of merchant ships transporting goods from the lake channel has increased a lot. However, every time, in order to pass the clearance smoothly, these merchant ships had to pay a certain amount of protection fee to this group of water bandits before they could pass. Otherwise, they were found to be secretly passing through the waterway and did not pay the protection fee to them. Most of them would be attacked by the other party. At the very least, the cargo was robbed all of them. In the worse, the shipmen might confiscate them all together and finally ask you to pay for the redeem of the people and the ship.

Because of the existence of this group of water bandits, nearby villages would be attacked by them from time to time. Although they rarely kill people and set fire when they go ashore, the girls and wives of some villages are often harmed by them. In order to save their lives, many villagers finally had to swallow their anger. Those who really couldn't stand their exploitation could only go far away to make a living. Therefore, this water bandit is extremely angry, and even some local merchants and landlords and old money are gritting their teeth.

When Deng Chenggong learned that this water bandit had hundreds of crew members of all sizes and nearly a thousand crew members, he also understood why the people had no choice but to do anything to them. After all, with the strength of the fishermen nearby, if they want to deal with such a large scale, they would probably not get any benefits even if they joined forces together. What's more, the other party also had a killer weapon like a light and heavy machine gun mortar.

In order to solve this group of bandits at one time, Deng Chenggong not only dispatched a group of militiamen who were proficient in water in the militia regiment, but also used telegrams to transport all the more than 200 submachine guns stored in the rear base. Each special forces member had a twenty-shot fast and slow-speed machine and a submachine gun. Even the militias following the action were equipped with these submachine guns.

Although the range of the submachine gun is a bit short, considering that this is a raid and it is a direct battle, the powerful firepower of the submachine gun can undoubtedly reduce the number of people between the two sides, so these weapons were specially selected for this clearance mission.

After three days of joint assault training, this encirclement and suppression force of more than 200 people, led by several fishermen who were deeply persecuted by water bandits, secretly lurked in the reeds not far from the water village under the night.

Looking at the fleet patrolling around the water village with torches from time to time in front, if Deng Chenggong and his party continued to move forward on the boat, they would undoubtedly expose their tracks. Moreover, through reconnaissance, Deng Chenggong found that the leader of the water village was very smart. In addition to these outer patrol ships, the rest of the places where they could go to the island had built at least three meters high arrow towers. I don’t know how much energy this guy put into the water village to what he is today.

Considering that night battles and these arrow towers are all set up next to the second side of the waterway, if you want to attack the waterside, the first thing you need to solve is the patrol ships on the periphery. After solving the patrol ships on the periphery, you can then lurk into the waterside through the waterway, secretly attack the water bandits on the arrow tower, and put the large troops into the waterside, so that the nest of waterbands can be solved at one time. Any error in any link may lead to failure of the operation.

Therefore, Deng Chenggong, who had not experienced special operations for a long time, temporarily decided that the operation would be directed by him personally and act as the leader of the first attack operation team. After he led his men to take down the first line of defense of the water camp, the special forces team members cooperated with the militia to break into the water camp for encirclement and suppression.

Wu Zhongyuan's first reaction when he heard this order was that he disagreed. However, due to Deng Chenggong's strength, he finally agreed to the action tonight was commanded by Deng Chenggong, but he had to follow the first group. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was also due to his own safety considerations, Deng Chenggong thought about it and quickly agreed to the other party's request.

Thirty special forces members with the best water quality were selected from the special forces team. The rest were waiting for orders by another special forces squadron leader, and they led the reserve personnel to attack the water village at any time. After the order was issued, Deng Chenggong and all the special forces team members quietly slid into the water, watching their respective targets sneak past in one breath.

With the light of the torches of the opponent's patrol personnel, the group successfully solved the personnel on the five patrol ships on the periphery. The only surprise was that during the operation, several team members did not have time to control the torches in the other party's hands due to underwater combat, which resulted in the torches in the water village falling into the water and extinguishing them.

Fortunately, there were many torches prepared on these patrol boats, and after re-igniting, they did not attract the attention of the water bandits on the arrow tower. After all, in this foggy night, it was difficult for them to find the movements on the boat a hundred meters away while standing on the arrow tower. What's more, in order to achieve a successful mission, Deng Chenggong issued a killing order at the beginning of the operation. For this reason, nearly thirty water bandits on the five boats were all attacked by bayonets or crossbow arrows, and they did not even have the chance to call one.

After solving the water bandits on the patrol ship, Deng Chenggong commanded these team members to leave two people on each boat to support the torch to attract the other party's attention, saving the other party from doubting that something was wrong with the patrol ship. The remaining twenty people once again slid into the water and swam towards the water village.

Deng Chenggong, who arrived under the Arrow Tower, chose a dead corner of fire to float onto the water surface, and looked at the special forces team members who had sneaked to him one after another and said, "You are hiding here for the time being. I will first sneak in and explore the situation. Without my order, no one is allowed to sneak into the water camp privately. Is it clear?"

Wu Zhongyuan's first reaction to this order was to object, and he whispered: "Commander, I don't agree. If I want to go in and investigate the situation, I can go in, there is no need to let you take risks in person. If you go back, let Director Xu and Commander Hu know that if you let you take risks alone, they will not peel me off."

This kid is really stubborn!

Deng Chenggong, who knew that the other party was also worried about his safety, could only say: "For this kind of special war infiltration operation, and underwater operation, which of you has rich experience? What's more, I went in and just observed the situation, and did not fight with them. There would be no danger!

I know you kid is worried about my safety, but what I want to tell you is that the person who can hurt me in this water village has not been born yet. You kid is not worried! As for Director Xu and the others who will peel you, it is also after the battle is over. Now I have the final say here. Do you believe it or not, I will disqualify you from combat now?"

Wu Zhongyuan, who was scolded, knew that once the commander became interested, he probably wouldn't be able to pull back the ten cows. In the end, he could only make Deng Chenggong be careful, and then he watched Deng Chenggong disappear on the water with a worried look on his face.

In the waterway between the two arrow towers, there is also a sliding door wrapped in iron sheets, and the rope that opens the sliding door is controlled by the sentry on the arrow tower. For this reason, when Deng Chengcheng sneaked into the waterside through the waterway, he soon discovered this somewhat difficult problem. Fortunately, with the help of a crew member docked in the waterside, Deng Chengcheng, who floated out of the water, soon discovered that if he lurked below the arrow tower, he would use this blind spot to attack and kill the sentry inside.

Moreover, Deng Chenggong soon discovered that although the sentries on these arrow towers were very alert, no patrol bandits were found on the shore of the water camp. It seemed that the water bandits in this water camp were very confident in the defense of their water camp. This also means that as long as the water bandits in the two arrow towers were solved, they could break into this undefensive water camp. Once all their large troops entered the water camp, with their powerful close-killing firepower and special combat technology, the water bandits had no ability to resist at all.

After observing all the situations, Deng Chenggong, when Wu Zhongyuan almost couldn't help but prepare to sneak into the water camp to see the situation, he finally found a head emerging from the water surface not far ahead of him. Seeing Deng Chenggong return safely, Wu Zhongyuan found that the feeling of waiting was even more unbearable than fighting.

After introducing the situation he had detected to all the team members, Deng Chenggong finally decided that he and Wu Zhongyuan each would lead three formal special forces members, each responsible for one sentry on the arrow tower, and strive to eliminate the sentry on the two arrow towers without moving the gun. With this silent cooperation, the reserve team members who followed the action this time were naturally not as good as the official team members of the special forces.

After the order was announced, Deng Chenggong led Wu Zhongyuan and others to sneak into the water camp again. Because Deng Chenggong led the way in front, the group lurked smoothly in the waters where the ships were docked.
Chapter completed!
