Code Name: Flame

Chapter 35 Casino
After two days of trekking, Chen Jia's team arrived in the jungle on Dongshan Island.Two soldiers were sent to find the boat, and the others rested on the spot.

The captain of his small team is called Qu Wu, from Nantong, northern Jiangsu.A three-year veteran, he participated in the first battle of Songhu and killed two Japanese soldiers.This person usually doesn't talk much, and his military skills are not top-notch among the thirty captains.But he has one advantage, that is, he has a brain, is good at thinking, and has a more delicate mind.

People with delicate thoughts think a lot, so sometimes they seem not decisive enough, not firm enough.But Qu Wu is just the person who resolutely executes after he has figured it out, and he absolutely does not see indecision.

The soldiers all rested, and after Qu Wu arranged the sentry position, he came to Chen Jia's place, "Company Commander, this Xishan Mountain looks like villagers, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there are bandits."

Chen Jia lay on the grass and spit out the grass he was chewing, "Bah, bah, bah. Qu Wu, there are quite a lot of bandits around Taihu Lake, but they are usually farmers, fishermen, and businessmen. They will only gather together when something bad happens. Otherwise, for thousands of years, the banditry in Taihu Lake has been wiped out."

"That's right, if the bad guys had engraved words on their faces, they would have been wiped clean long ago. Company commander, what should we do? We can't arrest and interrogate one by one, right?"

Chen Jia couldn't help laughing, which made Qu Wu's heart shudder, "Company Commander, don't laugh so creepily, just speak up if you have something to say."

Chen Jia pointed to his nose, "I'm not a judge, nor a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor. I brought my brothers here to kill people, but there must be a reason for killing people, understand?"

"But... in the future, recruits will grow up after a battle, so you don't need to kill people on purpose."

"What kind of army are we? Special forces, we have to go deep behind enemy lines. As long as we make a little mistake, all of us will die. So there can't be recruits in my army. We must minimize mistakes so that we can survive. I let you learn so many skills, just to better complete the task, and also to increase the hope of living."

Chen Jia sat up, looked at Xishan Island shrouded in a white mist in the distance, and sighed softly, "The fate of the special forces is to walk on the tip of the enemy's sword. If you make a mistake, the whole army will be wiped out." .Old Qu, do you think I dare to take it lightly?"

Qu Wu stopped talking.To be honest, he admired Chen Jia very much, not because of how many Japanese he had killed, but because Chen Jia was like an encyclopedia, there was nothing he didn't know.And in many cases, the opinions expressed are different, and they are often correct after testing.

Chen Jia is a very strange existence, perhaps because he is different and maverick, I don't know how to describe it, but in short, he is the kind of person with a very charming personality.

Everyone in the Special Forces respected and feared Chen Jia.What I admire is the strength and self-discipline of this person, and what I am afraid of is the endless training ideas that come up every day, even though he himself will participate in the training.

At noon, two team members came back and escorted three boatmen, a couple and a teenage son.

"Company commander, their boat is quite big, so it's not a problem to send us across the river. At first they were reluctant to go to Xishan, saying that there were evil people in Xishan. After asking, they said that there was a man named Yan Baoliang in Xishan who opened a casino on the island. , many people around are going to gamble, the farthest is Pudong, Shanghai. He said that his daughter jumped into the lake after being raped by Yan Baoliang and committed suicide, so he refused to go to the island.”

Hearing the team members' narration, Chen Jia looked at the three boatmen, pondered for a while, and asked, "Is it the local Ningfa?"

The old boatman lowered his head, and replied anxiously: "It is a change."

"Nah, do you know that there are bandits in Daolang Township?"

The old ship's foreman dropped even lower and made no answer.

"Don't worry, I'm from the government army, and I'm here to suppress the bandits. It's my ID card, but I'll take a look at it." Chen Jia took out the ID card from his bag, opened it, and held it in front of the old boatman.

The old boatman took a few glances, then looked up at Chen Jia, and after confirming that the officer on the certificate was Chen Jia, he burst into tears, "Government, it's finally here, I was bullied by King Yama. It's finally here Already, God is going to accept him as King Yama."

From the mouth of the old boatman, the situation of Yan Baoliang, nicknamed Yan Luowang, gradually became richer.

Yan Baoliang is actually not a local, but a native of Hunan.Yan Baoliang was originally a company commander under Sun Chuanfang. During the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Sun Chuanfang was defeated, and the troops scattered to various places. Some took root there and dominated one side.

This is the case with Yan Baoliang. After fleeing to Xishan, he first worked as a nursing home in the home of a landlord in Xishan, and later coveted the beauty of the lady of the home and forced him to marry him.The master's family died in a fit of anger, Yan Baoliang took the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest, and took over all the property of the master's family as a son-in-law.

Yan Baoliang, who has money and guns, is unwilling to be lonely, and begins to recruit troops to expand his power, open gambling games on the island, and attract gamblers from all over the place to gamble.If he wins, he will provide protection, and if he loses, he will send a return home fee.

If this is the case, there is nothing wrong with it. In order to support hundreds of subordinates, this person thought of robbery again.In the past few years, he has robbed at least six or seven merchant ships on Taihu Lake, leaving no one alive, and all of them were chopped up and thrown into the lake to destroy the corpses.

The government came to investigate. This person spent a lot of money in collusion with officials in Wuzhong County to deceive others. The government has never found evidence.As the family grows big and the business grows, the communication becomes more and more extensive, and some high-ranking officials and nobles in Suzhou also have close contacts with them, weaving a huge protection network.

Later, he paid to become the head of Xishan Baojia.With the cover of a semi-official status, this person ran rampant in the countryside, bullying men and women countless times.The most exaggerated thing is that when someone gets married, he enters the bridal chamber first.

Public grievances are useless, the officials above protect each other, and the below retaliate.After several disappearances with complaints in a row, no one dared to sue the officials again.

The team members on the side were all expressionless, because there are too many people like Yan Baoliang now.Is there any county or place in the country that doesn't have this?It's much more than him, and the team members have long been accustomed to it.

"Okay, old man, I've decided on Yan Baoliang's life, so I'll help get my nun to the island, and it's up to me from now on."

Hearing Chen Jia's words, the old man burst into tears immediately, hugged his wife and son, and wept bitterly.

In the middle of the night, the boat stopped 30 meters from the shore.The boatman's son volunteered to lead the way and swam to the shore with Chen Jia and the others.

Not to mention, if there is no boatman's son to lead the way, maybe Chen Jia and the others will suffer.After all, Yan Baoliang was a soldier, so he managed Xishan as a barracks, and actually set up guard posts with two lights and two darks.

Fortunately, after a long time in Taiping, these people have also learned to deal with things perfunctorily, and the two secret whistles actually fell asleep.Without exception, the necks of these four sentries were wiped, and the boatman boy was even more energetic.

The town of Xishan Island is not big, the center is the most luxurious, and the largest house is Yan Baoliang's residence.He opened the front yard as a casino, and the yards on both sides as a place for rest and entertainment. There are women and good wine in it, and he has learned everything about Shanghai Beach casinos.What's more sensible is that people who come to gamble play with women here for free, and this alone makes those gamblers flock to them.

At this time, the casino was still full of people, and the voices of gamblers yelling and drinking could be heard far away.

Chen Jia did not act hastily, and sent someone to check the front and back to confirm that there were two doors.

"Company commander, there are quite a few people inside, and we can't stop them from going up."

"It's okay, Qu Wu, you take three people to the back door, one stands at the door to intercept, and the three hide in the dark, shoot whoever comes out of the dark, shoot and kill."

Qu Wu agreed and waved to the three team members to go to the back door.

Chen Jia turned around and ordered the other seven team members: "You two block the east and west walls, you two block the main entrance, and the three of you follow me in, you..."

Chen Jia pointed at the boatman's son, "Stay with the two of them, don't walk away, and watch me avenge your sister."

The boatman's son turned pale, but fortunately no one noticed under the cover of night.

At the door, there were three men dressed as militiamen talking at the door, and when they were happy, they laughed obscenely, obviously not talking about any good topics.

Two black shadows floated past the wall like ghosts, and the three men were still chatting enthusiastically, without noticing that the danger was approaching.

The black shadow exploded, and the sharp knife sliced ​​across the carotid arteries of the two people. The two people only felt a chill in their necks, and blood spurted out as far as one foot in an instant.The two stretched out their hands to cover their necks, trying to stop the blood, but saw the third person's neck was twisted and fell to the ground.

There were three corpses lying at the door, and blood had soaked the ground in front of the door and flowed everywhere.

The faces of the two murdering soldiers were pale. When they attacked, they acted subconsciously. Now that they are awake, their legs are weak, their stomach acid is rushing, and they want to retch.

Chen Jia also responded. Although he killed many people, it was the first time he saw so much blood flowing on the ground up close.
