Chapter 676: Departure

The advance team to Daming set up in the Hetao base area was composed of more than a dozen people. Team leader Li Ming, deputy team leader Song Tao, and eight special combat team members including Wang Xiaojie, Zhang Yufei and Liu Handong, as well as several internal employees of the Ethnic Affairs Committee such as Liang Yujie and Lin Jinghua. They will join Zhou Billy and others of the Intelligence Department and go to the Daming Henan Intelligence Department's Central Plains Intelligence Station.

In order to ensure the safety of the advance team, Li Ming, Song Tao and eight special combat team members were equipped with two M40 sniper rifles, four AN94 automatic rifles with grenade launchers, and six PP19 Bison submachine guns. Each special operator was also armed with a Glock pistol. All guns were equipped with sights and silencers.

In addition, they were equipped with steel ball grenades, smoke grenades, gas grenades, and even a few MON50 directional anti-infantry mines. Even the few 03M-72 anti-infantry jumping mines in the warehouses of the Military Commission, they brought a few.

Each special combat team member is equipped with a headset intercom device, night vision devices, and a full set of special operations equipment. There is also a military radio station and a simple ground navigation system, which is mainly designed to provide ground coordinates for the airships of the Air Force Department in the event of a crisis. They also brought a set of Honeywell micro-unmanned aerial systems with them to improve their reconnaissance and early warning capabilities.

Each member of the committee was equipped with only one Glock pistol as a basic self-defense weapon. But each was equipped with a bulletproof vest and headset device, as well as non-lethal weapons such as smoke grenades and gas grenades.

The Hetao Base Area Advance Team to Daming has also selected dozens of migrant employees from the base area, and will also go to Daming with the advance team and the Ministry of Intelligence. Each migrant employee is equipped with a Type 28 revolver and several non-lethal weapons such as smoke grenades and gas shells.

The team of the Ministry of Intelligence this time is quite large, with more than 100 people. Except for the Minister of Intelligence, Billy Chow. In addition, more than 20 intelligence officers trained by the Ministry of Intelligence in recent years, as well as nearly 100 second-line support personnel.

Since the creation of the Ministry of Intelligence, several secret training centers have been established. Over the past few years, a large number of professional intelligence personnel and second-line intelligence support personnel have been trained.

The so-called second-line intelligence support personnel are carefully selected from a large number of immigrants, and each of them has unique skills. There are all kinds of characters such as martial arts masters, underworld thugs and Japanese ninjas in this era, which are simply full of five poisons.

These people have been carefully trained by the three giants of the Ministry of Intelligence, equipped with modern intelligence equipment and weapons from the Far East, and at least in this era, they can definitely be said to be first-class intelligence agents.

They were all armed with Type 28 revolvers, short-barreled double-barreled shotguns, short-barreled 40-millimeter grenade launchers, and Type 28 sniper rifles, as well as weapons and equipment such as timed explosive and incendiary bombs. The firepower is extremely strong, and a dozen intelligence agent teams that have been carefully trained by the Far Eastern Intelligence Department will cooperate tacitly. Even if you are on a mission in the capital of Daming, you can get out calmly.

The Arthur shipyard also converted two river engine sailing ships for the advance team. In case of emergency, two sets of engines can be turned on at the same time, and the powerful power can ensure that the boat can easily go up against the current on the complex river surface in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Moreover, the propeller of the stern power group has also been changed to retractable type, which avoids unnecessary trouble when sailing on dry land at the mouth of the boat.

The key parts of the hull, mast and other positions. It is also further reinforced with stamped steel plates, and the ship is also equipped with a diesel generator, two searchlights, pumps, winch motors and other equipment. It is also equipped with a detachable 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun and two 7.62 mm universal machine guns. As a weapon of self-defense.

In addition, the storage capacity of the ship's fuel has also increased by two or three times, greatly increasing the voyage, enough for the ship to travel between Shanxi and Henan. Each boat is also equipped with two inflatable assault boats, which can be used for emergency escape.

The munitions factory also equipped the advance team with six horse-drawn carriages, which could be disassembled into loose pieces and packed for storage. It is very easy to assemble. Moreover, the storage and storage of various materials of the advance team are made in the form of bulk constructions, which can be assembled and disassembled at any time. The appearance of all the boxes is carefully camouflaged, and even if you walk in the Ming Dynasty, they are no different from ordinary Ming caravans.

In addition, the Air Department will always keep four Type 35A airships patrolling and cruising over the coastal areas of Shandong. Always ready to go deep into the interior of the Daimyo to support. It only takes five hours to fly from the eastern coast of Bohai Bay to Shanxi. With the deployment of force of the advance team, even if the situation is critical, there should be no problem at all if it holds out for ten or eight hours.

With less than a month to go, Li Ming took this opportunity to organize all the members of the advance team, as well as the migrant employees who accompanied them to Daming, for a half-month intensive training.

The main thing is to train them in physical fitness, basic combat, obstacles, as well as the use of light weapons and non-lethal weapons, as well as how to deal with various crisis situations. There is also the mastery of simple agent knowledge, including the training of communication and information recognition.

As soon as the training of the advance team had ended, the Ministry of Intelligence issued a notice that the date of departure was set for three days later. Two converted river sailboats were launched a few days ago, loaded with supplies and towed to the mouth of the Yellow River Yunti Pass by a large transport sailboat responsible for transporting migrants.

Three days later, all the members of the advance team and the intelligence department took off from Shenyang Airport on more than a dozen airships of the company's air force department and headed for the coast of Daming, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.

Because the weather conditions were extremely good today, it took only eight hours for more than a dozen airships to arrive at a small island off the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was an overseas base of Song Shiping. The company built an airfield and a space for airship retraction here.

Song Shiping had already received the news and personally rushed to the island from Suzhou to welcome the arrival of Li Ming, Zhou Billy and others. Today's Song Shiping is no longer what it used to be, with the momentum of a superior person, and his gestures are faintly majestic.

He and his family members have moved to Manila, where the company has allocated them houses and shops, and life is very comfortable.

Song Shiping and his subordinates waited at the airport early today, looking at the sky in the distance.

"Boss, there's a big airship flying in the distance......"

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Song Shiping hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and notify you, prepare the hot water, and start preparing the banquet......

The people below heard it and hurriedly responded in unison, and they all ran to prepare.

More than a dozen airships slowly landed on the island one after another, and everyone walked down from the airship's pod one after another. (To be continued......)
