50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 692 Aceh Guerrilla

Throughout the Aceh region, the Javanese Army has a standing garrison of over 3 troops.

The capital city of Banda Aceh is located at the northernmost tip of Sumatra Island, bordering the Myanmar Sea to the north and surrounded by mountains.

Banda Aceh is the economic and political center of the Aceh region and a key point controlling the northern end of the Malacca Strait, so the Javanese army deployed a large number of troops to guard it.

There are 1 military and police personnel around Banda Aceh, including 7000 army soldiers and 3000 police officers.

In addition to the 3000 police officers stationed in Banda Aceh city, the 7000 regular troops are stationed in several outposts around Banda Aceh to protect the city's security.

In addition, Banda Aceh port also has a Javanese naval squadron with 5 frigates and more than a dozen other small ships.

The guerrilla group that Sun Zhiwei discovered was located in the mountains not far south of Banda Aceh.

The nearest Javanese army garrison is not far from the mountains, more than 50 kilometers from the city, and has a regiment of 1500 soldiers.

Because there were guerrilla spies in the villages near the base, the guerrillas knew the situation in this base best.

Just recently, the guerrillas received news that most of the soldiers stationed at the Javanese army base had been transferred away.

This opportunity was too rare, even though the remaining company of regular troops was still stronger than the guerrillas in terms of both weaponry and training.

But this was the only chance they had in all these years that they might have won, and the guerrilla leader Farouk decided to take the plunge.

The guerrillas planned to launch a night raid on the Javanese army's base that evening. Shortly after dark, all 300 guerrillas came out in full force.

Two hours later, they arrived at a valley not far from the Javanese army's base and quietly lay in ambush.

They would wait until late at night to make their move, when most of the Javanese soldiers stationed there would be fast asleep, giving them the opportunity to rush into the defensive perimeter of the camp as quickly as possible.

We must charge in to win, because the camp is surrounded by defensive structures. If we can't break through, they will be worn down by the camp's ample firepower outside the defensive perimeter.

Sun Zhiwei also sensed this good opportunity, so he followed the guerrillas to the military camp in Java.

He dug a tunnel from a distance into the underground of the garrison camp and used the portal to investigate the situation inside. However, he discovered that the number of people inside was incorrect.

Normally, a company would have no more than 200 people, and the army in Java would probably only have 100-150 people.

According to the information obtained by the guerrillas, most of the troops stationed there had been transferred away, leaving only one company, so most of the barracks at the station should be empty.

But Sun Zhiwei discovered that there were at least 500 people inside the barracks. This was no longer a company; it was clearly a battalion.

If there is only one company, the guerrillas have a numerical advantage and the advantage of night raids. If they really manage to break into the camp, they might actually succeed.

But now that the Javanese soldiers have a battalion, that's unlikely, the difference in numbers is too great.

The Javanese army is not made of clay, nor are they a motley crew. Their weapons and equipment are far more advanced than those of the guerrillas, so it is unlikely that they would collapse and be destroyed in a surprise attack.

Although this was the first guerrilla force Sun Zhiwei encountered, after learning more about it, he didn't go looking for other resistance groups.

Because the guerrilla leader looked like he could succeed. First of all, their leader, Farouk, had a square face, a face that made him instantly likable.

Don't think this is nonsense. First impressions are often very important. Sometimes, soldiers can tell a man is capable just by looking at his face. Moreover, according to Sun Zhiwei's observation, this Captain Farouk has some basic military skills, can train soldiers on his own, and has a high reputation among the soldiers.

The guerrilla unit he led maintained good discipline and high morale among its soldiers.

Taking all aspects into account, it becomes clear that this is a combat-ready team.

Sun Zhiwei genuinely believed that Farouk would definitely succeed if given the opportunity, which is why he didn't look for other guerrilla groups but directly chose theirs.

But this time they were incredibly unlucky. Whether it was due to faulty intelligence or a traitor, without Sun Zhiwei's help, their defeat today would have been inevitable.

After thinking it over, Sun Zhiwei decided to help them out.

Looking at the time, it was already late at night, and most of the Javanese soldiers in the camp had already gone to sleep.

Apart from the fixed post at the entrance, there was only one squad of guards patrolling the camp.

If he were to attack the camp himself, it would be simple; he could just use his spatial ability to take them all away.

However, to coordinate with the guerrillas' offensive, he couldn't allow it to turn into a supernatural event, so he decided that it would be more appropriate to provide appropriate fire support during the battle.

There was one hour left before the guerrillas launched their attack. Before the battle began, Sun Zhiwei had prepared 500 grenades, which would be his main means of support.

It was quickly past two in the morning, and the guerrillas had moved to within 500 meters of the camp. As soon as the time came, the most agile of them quickly approached the camp.

Just when they thought they would alert the guards halfway through their charge, they discovered that no one fired a warning shot until they reached the base of the camp's wall.

Unbeknownst to them, Sun Zhiwei had already taken care of the guards stationed at the watchtower and the entrance.

This situation was completely unexpected. Although Captain Farouk was very puzzled, it was a good thing that they hadn't been discovered.

Under Farouk's decisive command, the main force quickly followed and soon arrived at the foot of the camp wall.

The guerrilla fighters quickly scaled the wall and entered the military camp. They soon discovered the Javanese soldiers who had been killed by Sun Zhiwei at the sentry post.

Captain Farouk came over and examined their wounds. They looked as if they had been killed directly by cold weapons, with no signs of struggle, indicating that they were killed in one blow.

It was a fatal blow, wasn't it? The spatial cutting was incredibly powerful, yet it made no sound, and the wound did indeed look similar to a wound from a cold weapon.

Farruka discovered that the bodies were still warm, indicating that they had died recently and that the perpetrator was nearby.

He looked around but found nothing, which made him even more puzzled.

The other side was clearly helping them; if the sentries hadn't been dealt with beforehand, they would have been spotted by the sentries long ago.

After that, they had no choice but to launch a fierce attack under heavy fire, and the thought of the casualties made him shudder.

Now someone has helped him, but he doesn't know who this friend is.
