Seeing over a hundred brothers from the Beng Hu Camp all raising their fists and shouting loudly for revenge for Xin Yi, Qin Dali and Topology were also infected by this high morale, unconsciously raising their fists along with everyone else, shouting, "Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" Their resonant voices echoed through the valleys, piercing the clouds! A true army of tigers and wolves, a gleaming sharp blade, a wolf fang that could pierce through the enemy's bones, would tear the Mingguo Party army of Taiwan to shreds!
Since it was the common wish of all the brothers in the Beng Hu Camp, Qin Dali and Topology no longer spoke any more nonsense. Everyone had the right to choose their own fate. Since all the brothers chose to stay, as the Camp Commander of Beng Hu Camp, Qin Dali's mission was to ensure that all the brothers felt their decision was correct. To achieve this goal, they needed to strike hard against the enemy while minimizing their own casualties. In fact, both Qin Dali and Topology hoped to stay and avenge Xin Yi; however, as commanders, they had to consider the lives of their soldiers more. Now that everyone had chosen to stay, they could unleash their full strength and make Taiwan's Mingguo Party army pay the price! Blood debts must be repaid with blood!
To win a battle, blindly charging in is the behavior of fools; a practical and comprehensive plan is necessary. Otherwise, it would only lead to death. The Beng Hu Company had only over a hundred warriors transferred to Guokan. With just these few hundred men trying to shake an army claiming to have three hundred thousand troops from the Mingguo Party was even more in need of a meticulous action plan; otherwise, they wouldn't even be enough to fill gaps in the enemy's ranks.
In warfare, weapons are essential. However, when the Beng Hu Camp came to Guokan, they brought no weapons except for some self-defense handguns. During their last operation at Taiwan's seaside dock against the dock guard team and the Wales ship, all weapons were provided by Yang Wencai. But after the mission ended, those weapons were taken back. Who would want an army not belonging to them to hold large-scale lethal weapons on their territory? Therefore, now Beng Hu Camp could not produce any decent weapons for combat against regular troops. But how could they obtain weapons? Qin Dali decided to ask Yang Wencai for them; however, Yang Wencai no longer relied on them and would not provide unconditional support. Thus, after contacting Huang Mang, Qin Dali decided to barter.
Although Guokan was self-sufficient in food supplies, many daily necessities could not be produced locally and relied heavily on imports. Currently, the Three Tiger Group controlled all import and export trade in Taiwan. Therefore, Guokan also had to depend on the Three Tiger Group for daily necessities imports. Qin Dali's idea was to promise Yang Wencai that once the Three Tiger Group's shipment of daily necessities arrived at Taiwan's dock, he would provide a batch of equivalent daily necessities needed by Guokan free of charge. He was sure that Yang Wencai would agree because if he did not comply, in the future, the Three Tiger Group could impose sanctions on Guokan regarding daily necessities imports as well; Yang Wencai knew this too.
Negotiations with Yang Wencai went quite smoothly. Yang Wencai agreed to provide Beng Hu Camp with one hundred submachine guns, fifty handguns, five old-style machine guns, five sniper rifles, three hundred grenades, and thirty thousand rounds of ammunition. Moreover, Yang Wencai did not require the Three Tiger Group to provide a batch of necessary daily necessities for free; his condition was that all daily necessities sold by the Three Tiger Group to Guokan must be thirty percent lower than those sold to Taiwan. This old fox played a long-term game; with so many daily necessities imported each year, this thirty percent price difference was far more cost-effective than exchanging a batch of daily necessities equivalent to firearms. Qin Dali readily agreed; as long as they avenged Xin Yi, whether or not the Three Tiger Group would continue engaging in import and export trade with Taiwan remained uncertain. Agreeing now posed no harm; furthermore, any reduced profits for Guokan could easily be added onto imports from Taiwan since Guokan's demand was still only a small fraction compared to all of Taiwan.
However, Yang Wencai also proposed a condition: that the transfer point for their weapons must be outside Guokan's administrative area. Moreover, regardless of what situation Beng Hu Camp encountered in Taiwan, they absolutely could not retreat back into Guokan District. If Beng Hu Camp warriors were discovered by Guokan's garrison forces, they would be treated as enemies and killed without mercy. Qin Dali understood this was Yang Wencai’s way of protecting himself; however, it was also human nature. Before completely severing ties with Taiwan Authorities, Guokan still belonged administratively to Taiwan territory. He did not want Beng Hu Camp to attract attention from Taiwan’s Mingguo Party army.
Afterward, Qin Dali asked Yang Wencai to have someone from Guokan Military assist in drawing up a detailed marching map. Since Beng Hu Camp carried so many weapons and firearms, it was impossible for them to pass through Taiwan’s military defense zones openly. This time Yang Wencai would not provide them with convenient transportation for camouflage like last time either; thus Beng Hu Camp could only march heavily loaded through detours around Taiwan’s military defense zones and reach Yin-Yang Mountain indirectly. Fortunately, there were continuous jungles within Taiwan providing cover; as long as they had a detailed marching map, Beng Hu Camp would not encounter large-scale Mingguo Party troops while marching deep in the jungle. This time Yang Wencai was quite generous; he not only had someone draw up a detailed marching map for Beng Hu Camp but also pointed out two local natives as guides for them. With these two locals as guides along the way, many unnecessary troubles could be avoided since there were many natives living in those jungles who generally did not allow outsiders into their territory and spoke different languages—communication would be impossible without these two locals who could resolve many conflicts through dialogue.
Finally, after a week’s journey, Beng Hu Camp warriors set out towards Yin-Yang Mountain. Yang Wencai had already instructed his troops to secretly transport the weapons needed by Beng Hu Camp into a jungle outside Guokan District ahead of time. After Qin Dali led his warriors to that location and checked their equipment himself throughout this process—Beng Hu Camp never had any substantial contact with Guokan Military—and once they stepped out of Guokan’s administrative jurisdiction now they would be treated as enemies by Guokan’s military forces; if they set foot on Guokan’s land again, Guokan Army would open fire without mercy.
In the jungle, Qin Dali distributed all weapons among each warrior so that their individual loads were not too heavy—just one gun, two or three grenades and several hundred rounds of ammunition—which was nothing compared to what Beng Hu Camp warriors were used to during their frequent weighted endurance training sessions before. According to the marching map route from Guokan through deep jungles reaching Yin-Yang Mountain would take about ten days’ time; although marching through jungles was quite inconvenient but previous survival training in Longchuan’s primitive forest had equipped Beng Hu Camp warriors with considerable experience and skills making this jungle march feel more like camping.
Throughout this entire march process due to strict self-discipline among Beng Hu Camp warriors along with two local native guides facilitating communication there were no frictions with natives living in the jungle; however they did encounter two patrol squads from Taiwan’s Mingguo Party army along the way—the result being complete annihilation of those patrol squads without them managing even a whisper of news escaping into broader channels before being dealt with in the jungle—Beng Hu Camp instead gained additional firearms and ammunition from this encounter. As long as no news got out at that moment there was nothing to fear because in jungles no trace would be left behind whatsoever; days later those eliminated Taiwanese patrolmen wouldn’t leave even bones behind—the jungle inherently filled with numerous variables and dangers meant that even if small groups of Taiwanese patrolmen went missing it wouldn’t raise any alarms within Taiwan Military.
After ten days of arduous trekking Beng Hu Camp finally reached a jungle ten kilometers away from Yin-Yang Mountain where Qin Dali ordered all soldiers to set up camp deep within waiting until they confirmed movements at Yin-Yang Mountain before making further decisions. That night Qin Dali led several skilled warriors out of the jungle towards Yin-Yang Mountain ten kilometers away where near its foot lay a small town which originally had been just a small village but later became bustling due to Yin-Yang Mountain being turned into an old cadre sanatorium by Taiwan Authorities who stationed two regiments there guarding Former President Jiang Zhongzheng’s tomb—soldiers frequently came down from mountains for leisure which gradually developed this small village into a town filled with taverns and smokehouses making it an excellent place for gathering intelligence about garrison movements on top since soldiers coming down from mountains often spoke freely when having fun.
Qin Dali's purpose was to gather information about the situation of the troops stationed in the mountains in this small town. Around ten o'clock at night, Qin Dali and his group of five entered the town. As soldiers from Beng Hu Camp, they did not need any disguise; their demeanor exuded a military aura that was quite common in this town. There was no need to worry about arousing suspicion. If there was anything different, it was that their military presence was very authentic and pure, unlike the local Taiwan Soldiers who had a mix of soldierly and rogue traits, often referred to as "soldier rascals."
The group entered a small tavern and boldly sat down at a table, calling out loudly, "Boss, bring us two pounds of beef, two plates of kidney, some peanuts, cold cucumber salad, and most importantly, two pounds of old white liquor! Hurry up! We need to finish drinking before heading back to the mountains for our shift!"
"Sure thing! Please wait a moment, Brother Soldiers! It'll be right up!" The boss was a thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man, short in stature like most locals in Taiwan. However, he clearly knew how to run a business; his small eyes sparkled with shrewdness.
Soon enough, two pounds of old white liquor arrived along with the peanuts and cold cucumber salad. The boss glanced at the group and said, "You Brother Soldiers are new here, aren't you? You seem unfamiliar with the place."
Hearing this, Qin Dali glared and shouted, "What the hell are you talking about? So what if it's our first time? Don't you want this business? You're really asking for a beating! Just bring out the food and get lost so I don't have to look at you!"
