In the evening, under the sea of ​​ice.

Yevgni was sitting in his room, staring at the i-pen screen in his hand in a daze.

It is actually a small space of several square meters, with the conditions similar to a single room in a prison; of course, it is already very good to have such a single room in a submarine.

"Is it the fifty-fourth elephant..." Yevgeny was still muttering something while looking at the screen in front of him.

After deciphering the information, he immediately knew that the dozen words came from "Tuibeitu", but he couldn't remember the more specific situation. After checking the information, he confirmed that this was the "fifty-fourth symbol" of Tuibeitu.

"The first half of the sentence 'lefty, chess game' refers to the rise and fall of my federation over the past hundred years, the implication is... the federation's energy is about to end, and the country has reached the end of the game." Yevgeni muttered to himself, and touched his chin with his index finger. This is a small action he often does when he fell into deep thought. "And the second half of the sentence means that my federal government has long been unrecognizable. Now the devil is in power and whitewashing peace, so the people can only 'peck and rest assured, even if they laugh, cry'..."

Although the tea banquet position is to maintain the rule of the Federation, the members of the tea banquet are not unclear about the issues of the Federation.

But being clear does not mean that they have the ability to solve it. If they have the ability to solve it, it does not mean that they can really solve it.

Zhu Yuanzhang once thought that he could eliminate corruption, and he had the ability and determination to do this. He even used the anti-corruption strategy that the people often talked about, "kill one if they catch it", and the method was very cruel.

But did he succeed?

When a system with low self-restraint or non-existent at all and formulated and operated by people who have been tied together for too long, one or more classes in the upper class of society will be formed, which become increasingly unbreakable in the inheritance of generations. They enjoy the priority distribution of social resources within the inherent system and maintain a balance and stability. Any change that harms the interests of any members of these classes is extremely difficult to achieve.

In the past century, tea banquets have not tried to change the Federation, but they have been struggling and the process is slow; sometimes they have finally implemented a correct policy, and those who have damaged their interests immediately opened up new holes in another place...

Furthermore, the tea banquet also requires a lot of energy to deal with the threat from external forces such as resistance organizations. Over time, they become numb and lost... Just to maintain the existence of the "Federal" has made all their efforts. The "internal supervision and correction" matter has basically been forgotten in this era.

"The Fifty-fourth Elephant says... No matter whether the cows, rats, cattle and sheep are separated, they are still strong. There is a real dragon in the world. The water of the Nine Curved Yellow River is not yellow..." Yevgeni's thoughts continue, "The meaning is that if the meaning is actually gone, it means that long-term unity will be separated... This means that although those resistance organizations seem to be finished now, the centipede worms will die without being stiff... Maybe they will not only not die, but will also be reborn and reorganized by the failure of this "Iron Curtain Flame"... into a force that can dissolve the Federation."

The deeper Evgney thought about it, the more he felt that the message was chilling, because this guessing hint was more "prophetic" than intimidation.

If it is a prophecy, there can be two interpretations: one is to foreshadow their failure in this "painting operation"; the other is to foreshadow the failure of the entire Federation... It will start with this battle."

Yevgni didn't know the whole picture of the reverse cross layout. In fact, he had not even seen the tip of the iceberg, but his strong uneasiness had already been planted in his heart. He was cautious and soon made a decision to call for reinforcements.

Regardless of whether this batch of reinforcements is necessary or whether they can be used, call them first; anyway, the war in Eastern Europe has been settled, and the Federation has sufficient troops, so call them over and be prepared for any trouble.

Thinking of this, Yevgni directly contacted the organization with him using the communicator he carried with him for only the members of the "tea banquet" and through the relationship between the upper level, he transferred a group of "special forces" from Crystal County.

Yevgeni handled this matter privately and did not report to the person in charge of the operation, Xiao Bauman, and he did not even tell the matter of deciphering the information; because even if the waste knew about this, he could not help. Therefore, when Yevgeni just returned to Xiao Bauman, he simply followed the other party's previous judgment and said, "The information received was indeed some useless information."

At this point, Yevgni had made up his mind that when necessary, he would take over the command of the operation himself, even if this would offend Bauman, anyway, Bauman and Bauman would definitely understand him later.

…………

The sky is getting darker and the time for "landing" is coming.

In this "Paint Shovel Operation", the federal submarines dispatched a total of nine ships. In addition to the "commandship" where Colonel Matthew Bauman and Yevgney were located, there were eight frigates, each carrying more than fifty people. In other words, this submarine squad had a total of about one battalion of troops.

According to the original plan (the plan was formulated by Baumann Jr.), the submarine team will start operations at night. At that time, the entire team will float out of the sea together, leaving only four soldiers on duty for each ship, and all the others will wear combat equipment to go ashore and launch a large-scale search of the town of Narvik. Once the soldiers find suspicious elements, they will immediately arrest them. If there is any resistance, they will kill them.

Perhaps in Bauman's opinion, this plan is very imposing and decisive, but in Yevgeny's opinion... this plan is extremely stupid.

There are three most obvious and significant mistakes:

First, Bauman personally chose the submarine as the vehicle for this operation, but he completely gave up the submarine's hidden advantages and weapon advantages underwater from the beginning of the operation. If you want to fight a big landing battle, why not come over on a warship or simply airdrop?

2. From the beginning of the operation, you can concentrate all your troops in one place and show up in a high-profile manner. It would be fine if you catch up with the period when the Rebel Army's military strength is still strong and the intelligence system is still in operation, as soon as your nine submarines surface, they will be bombarded more than half of the artillery bombardment that has been waiting for a long time.

3. If you leave less than 10% of your troops on duty during the operation and make the worst plan, the enemy can only send an elite assault team of less than 20 people, and you can take advantage of your large army to search in the city and drive away all nine submarines.

In short, Bauman's plan...it's tears if he says too much, and Yevgeny can't criticize him too harshly, because it may cause the second generation ancestor to be angry.

There was no way, Yevgeny could only pretend to be "proposal" and finally convinced Bauman to leave three ships dormant in the sea. The remaining six ships were divided into two teams a and b, landing at two different coastal locations one kilometer apart. Then the two teams of soldiers surrounded and advanced into the city in a corner. At the same time, each ship left about ten people to guard, just in case.

In this way... at 7 o'clock in the evening, the "paint shoveling operation" officially began.

In the night, six Federal Army submarines appeared in the Litvika area and Vasavika Bay to the north of Narvik.

This quiet town is not as brightly lit all night like a metropolis, with traffic flowing. When the iron monsters in the water float up, there are not even pedestrians or vehicles on the nearby streets, and the faint street lights cannot illuminate the abnormality on the sea.

At 7:02, Team B, namely the three submarines in Vasavika Bay on the east side, completed the docking operation earlier; when the first submarine opened the hatch on the top, dozens of fully armed soldiers were already lined up under the hatch, preparing to land and launch an assault on the city.

unexpectedly……

Bang

The first person to poke his head out of the submarine triggered such a gunshot.

He was still a living person before the head was protruded, but after the head was protruded, he became a corpse with his head blown out.

A second later, the warm body slid down the ladder back into the independent cabin under the submarine hatch. His blood stained the ground red, and his helmet was obviously meaningless under the extremely penetrating sniper bullet... The soldiers behind him suddenly became panicked and angry, and swearing sounds came one after another.

"Damn it! There is a sniper! Quickly! Use a periscope!" A captain quickly issued an order with a communicator to try to deal with the situation.

Bang

Five seconds later, the rising periscope was also shot.

Bang bang bang bang

Immediately afterwards, four consecutive gunshots cut through the night sky. It seemed that the other two submarines were treated similarly.

This group of commandos ready to go quickly discovered that they had fallen into an extremely embarrassing situation before they landed...

The nine submarines that went on expedition this time were all mass-produced conventional combat weapons of the Federation. This kind of submarine only had two entrances and exits, one was at the top of the cabin and needed to climb upwards, and only one person could go out at a time; the other was directly in front of the submarine, and needed to dock in a waterless environment (generally a dedicated submarine cabin for military bases) to open, and it was impossible to open now (when you soak in the sea and forcefully open the submarine).

The current situation is that if the soldiers exit from the above exit, it is basically equivalent to "queuing up and shooting"; of course... everyone knows that if the three submarines rushed out together, the other party would definitely not have time to kill everyone due to the limit of the fire rate of the gun. Moreover, the other party would have to replace the bullets...

However, the guns in this era are very developed. Who knows what model the other party’s gun is? What rate of fire? How much bullet capacity is? Besides... who is willing to be the first one who exchanges bullets for life?

Let’s take a step back, even if several soldiers successfully rushed out and came to the shore, can they find and kill the enemy sniper? If so, how long will it take? How many people will die during this period?

At this moment, the soldiers felt more and more that it was stupid to drive a submarine to perform this mission... It would be like this if it was not the case when driving a warship or parachuting.

The reconnaissance systems of most mass-produced submarines of the Federal Army are not good at land detection. Although these submarines can also launch short-range missiles to attack on land, there are only two ways to lock targets: one is to rely on radar, and the other is to rely on soldiers to launch electronic beacons for positioning.

However, the situation in front of us is that the soldiers were blocked in these large iron cans by unknown snipers, and none of them could be out, and the radar could not accurately locate people; the periscope had the opportunity to find enemies in the dark, because the periscopes of this era could night vision, distance viewing, and even heat sensing... But the problem is that the periscopes are now also blown up.

Then are they really unable to do anything? Of course there are.

After reporting the situation to the command ship, Yevgni immediately thought of a way to close the hatch door and dive back into the sea. The soldiers put on diving suits, left the ship underwater, then dispersed and landed in swimming.

There is no way to do this. More than 100 people can't be forced out by a few snipers just because they are in a submarine, right?

But what they didn't know at this moment was that there were actually no "several snipers" on the shore, but they thought there were only a few.

There is only one person who suppresses this B team in the Federation, which is K; he and a gun are enough to do this.

To put it short, a few minutes later, the three submarines of Team B who were instructed closed the cabin doors and dived back into the sea; the soldiers had to go back and take off some equipment (if you have to wear diving equipment, other weapons have to be streamlined) before they could change into the diving and logging suit.

The departure of the ship in the water is different from the departure of the ship on the water. The former can only go out at a limited number of people at a time, because you have to wait for the previous group of people to swim out, close the cabin door, and then empty the water in the cabin below the cabin door, so that the next group of people can come in and prepare.

This twists and turns will undoubtedly waste a lot of time, which means... Team B's landing time will inevitably be quite out of touch with Team A.

…………

At the same time, the three submarines of Team A on the west side had successfully completed the floating and landing operations.

It took about 130 soldiers more than eight minutes to arrive on the shore. They were not stopped, nor did they see even a pedestrian, a passing vehicle, or a shop with lights on.

It was as if the town in front of them had already become a ghost town...

The dark night is a biting cold. Even a group of fully armed masters, facing the quiet and strange land ahead, they inevitably feel a little fear in their hearts.

But the mission is a mission, with so many people, with guns and night vision goggles, there is no reason to be afraid of anything.

"It's just a group of rebel soldiers and defeated soldiers from the rebel army. They probably don't even have decent heavy weapons at hand. This is more like execution than fighting." This is what Little Bowman said when he stood on the apron of a military base before traveling.

This happened today, so they naturally haven't forgotten it yet.

Strictly speaking, Baumann Jr. was right. Without the support of the Counter-Cross, Nakville's rebels would have been vulnerable, but... the situation is already different now.

After Che Wuchen and his team took over the command of the resistance base, before Bauman and his troops arrived, one hundred members of the "Killer Alliance" had already entered the city by land.

At dusk, the residents on the northwest side of the town were evacuated; a hundred professional killers had already ambushed in this dark town and laid a large number of fatal traps, just waiting for the target to take the bait...
Chapter completed!
