The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 32 Bandits Attack 2
  After several rounds of shooting, "Bei Batian" discovered that the opponent not only had heavy machine guns, but also a lot of "flower traps". The firepower of the few people behind the gate was so overwhelming that he could not lift his head up.

Just as the two sides were fighting in a lively manner, the bandits suddenly felt the ground begin to shake, and even the gravel that had been hit by bullets began to tremble.

The roar of an engine was getting closer and closer, accompanied by the squeaking metal tracks grinding against the ground, making a strange and heart-wrenching sound.

One, two, three, four, five, five armored vehicles converted from crawler tractors, in a straight battle formation, drove slowly towards the Andong County Government.

The machine gun tower on the roof also keeps rotating with the tank, searching for any possible threats ahead.

"Bei Batian" rubbed his eyes with a look of disbelief. He looked again and saw that the armored vehicle was getting closer. Finally, he could see clearly what kind of monster was emitting green smoke and making an ear-splitting roar in the night...
  "Iron-armored car..."

"It's an armored vehicle..."

When Hu Zi had worked for "Bei Ba Tian" in Fengjun before, he could tell at a glance that this was an armored chariot owned by foreigners. Even grenades on this thing would not work. It had to be filled with human lives. He didn't want to be like this. All the people and horses were ordered to be transferred to Andong County.

"The wind is tight...it's so tight"

"Bei Batian" immediately blew the whistle for retreat.

The bandits, who had been firing randomly at first, heard the whistle of retreat and started running back like a frightened rabbit, fearing that they would run too slowly and be left behind.

At this time, the armored vehicle, which was still more than fifty meters away from the bandits, also discovered a group of bandits fleeing behind under the guidance of the militia soldiers at the gate of the county government.

The soldier in charge of driving the lead car pulled the joystick and immediately adjusted the direction, speeding up and chasing the bandits in the direction of their escape.

Click, click, click...the machine gun tower also stopped rotating, and after the muzzle was aimed:
  Ta-ta-ta... Ta-ta-ta... Flames began to spurt violently, and the walls on both sides of the street were reflected in an orange-red color.

The bullets were whistling, and there was a clanking sound of metal hitting the car as the bullet casings continued to fall.

The originally dense group of bandits escaping, after the sound of the armored vehicle's machine gun, a large gap appeared in an instant, like a field of crops being passed over by wild boars.

Screams, wails, and cries for help sounded almost at the same time. Some bandits who did not die immediately after being shot began to struggle and crawl toward the escape direction of the large group of people in front.

But all this was destined to be in vain. The sound of squeaking metal tracks on the road was getting closer and closer. When several armored vehicles passed by, there were only large areas of flesh and earth mixture left on the ground, which were "close to the ground". "Together.

The driver of the car was fine, he just pushed the joystick forward and stepped on the accelerator, but the infantry who followed the coordinated attack were in bad luck.

Jiang Hongchun's squad from the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company also participated in this battle. At this moment, under the leadership of squad leader Yang Erwa, he was vomiting desperately while searching for the remaining enemies hiding on both sides of the street.

The ground is colorful and colorful, and it is no longer possible to see the remains of any part of the human body. The leather boots are sticky and slippery when stepped on, bringing a dual experience of vision and touch, stimulating human nerves all the time.

Ugh….Ugh…..
  Some soldiers who vomited more violently were almost vomiting out bile at this moment.

Although the security team also has similar training programs, the most they involve is hanging some animal offal on the prostrate barbed wire and sprinkling some pig blood on both sides. It is not as realistic as it is now.

As the squad leader, Yang Erwa also felt her stomach churn. She almost vomited several times. She suppressed the discomfort caused by her body and shouted to the soldiers:
  "Hurry up and vomit. After you vomit, hurry up and follow the armored vehicle in front. Ignore those who have surrendered and leave them to the brothers behind who are in charge of custody. Our mission is to clear out the remaining enemies on both sides of the street."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that at the door of a shop in front of him, several bandits were desperately trying to pry open the door panel of the shop facing the street, trying to hide in the shop to avoid being chased by the militia soldiers.

Yang Erwa picked up a Thompson submachine gun with a fifty-round drum, and fired at it, knocking down three of them on the spot. The remaining one was almost stunned by fright, and threw away the old gun in his hand. Toutong (a rifle made in Hanyang), knelt on the ground and cried with tears and runny nose:
  "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender."

The soldiers of the Second Company who were quickly moving forward after vomiting ignored him when they saw him kneeling and surrendering, and pursued him in the direction of the armored vehicle in front.

after dawn

In the office of the head of the security group, Wei Yuan listened to the story of the night attack on Andong County.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, a total of 572 enemy people were killed and more than 200 people were captured last night. Only a small number of bandits who snatched horses fled towards Heigou Town. In addition to the two sentries who died in the sneak attack, our unit also had three people who were captured by the mountain bandits while chasing the remnants of the enemy. He was injured by a stray bullet, but fortunately his vitals were not injured, and he will need to recover for a few months."

Wei Yuan nodded and said to Kang Daguo, who was the chief of staff: "Falled soldiers will receive a one-time pension of 500 yuan in accordance with the established pension standards of the militia. Those with parents, wives and children at home will receive an additional 3 yuan monthly living allowance until the children reach adulthood. Don’t run out of rice, flour, food, and oil during the holidays. I send people to your home to see if there are any practical difficulties that need to be solved. Each injured soldier will be given a 20-yuan subsidy. After the injury is healed, I will personally award them with medals. Let the soldiers I know that whether they are alive or dead, the vigilante group is their greatest support."

"In addition, I plan to build a "Martyrs' Shrine". All the fallen soldiers will be buried in the "Martyrs' Shrine". Of course, this will require the opinions of their families. If the family insists on transporting the fallen soldiers back home for burial, the security group will send trucks to transport the fallen soldiers to their homes for burial." The body will be sent to the family, and the funeral expenses will be borne by the vigilante group.”

Finally, Wei Yuan glared again: "The pension is life-saving money for the families of the fallen brothers. Anyone who takes advantage of this money will lose their conscience. No matter who touches this money, I will cut off his money." The heads are used to pay homage to fallen brothers.”

The cold tone made Kang Daguo couldn't help but shudder. After recording all the requirements in the folder in his hand, he hurried out and followed Wei Yuan's instructions.

Seeing Kang Daguo leaving the office, Wei Yuan asked Yue Weilu, "Have you found out who did it?" "According to some captured bandits, they are all bandits from Heigou Town, and they are "Bei Ba" "Tian, ​​One Eye, Big Golden Tooth," are three gangsters. These three gangsters are also the three largest groups of bandits in Anton. Together they have more than 2,000 troops. "One Eye" fought last night. was shot to death."

"The other leader, "Big Gold Tooth", was originally going to lie down on the ground and pretend to be dead. Unexpectedly, our armored vehicle ran over him. Only then was he captured by the soldiers who came from behind. He is currently being held in the backyard of the county government. In the dungeon, the only ones who actually escaped were "Bei Batian" and a few of his followers."

As soon as Yue Weilu finished speaking, Wei Yuan couldn't help but laugh again. He stood up and said, "Let's go meet the bandit leader "Big Gold Tooth". I want to see who leaked the ocean to them." news."

The courtyard of the Andong County Government was originally the county government office of the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty disappeared, the signboard was changed and it became the current office of the Andong County Government. The structure and furnishings in the courtyard are basically the same as those during the Qing Dynasty. Nothing much has changed.

The dungeon that Yue Weilu was talking about was where the Qingting County government held prisoners. At this moment, more than 200 mountain bandit prisoners crowded more than a dozen cells. The vomit and excrement were all disposed of by a wooden bucket in the corner. The whole cell smelled bad. It was extremely filthy, and "Big Golden Tooth" was one of the many prisoners imprisoned.

At this time, he no longer had the majesty of the past. He was lying on the dry straw on the ground with dull eyes, and his face was filled with a look of ashen annoyance.

He really regrets, "I regret that I left the good mountain king alone and went to the county town to join in the fun. I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Ma Xingkun's excitement and followed "Bei Batian" to rob some bank and the government's banknotes. Is Ku also something bandits like me can rob? Now it’s better, they’ve all been folded in. It really complies with the saying - if you have your life, you can’t steal the life flower."

While worrying about gain and loss, he only heard a creaking sound, and along with the sound of iron chains, the cell door was opened, and a dazzling beam of sunlight shone in. "Big Gold Tooth" subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and waited until his eyes adapted to the indoor light. There was a sound of footsteps, and a pair of shiny black cowhide riding boots appeared in his sight.

My eyes slowly moved up along the cowhide riding boots, and I found that the owner wearing the riding boots had a handsome face in his twenties. He was wearing the same straight black and gray military uniform as the soldiers outside. The same military uniform only looked like this. It's much more gorgeous, with gold thread embroidered on the cuffs and collar, and I don't know what the stars on the shoulders mean.

If he had to be called a "white face" or "rabbit master" in his own village, some bosses who like masculine styles would probably become their playthings under coercion and inducement, but this time the "big golden tooth" is This "little pretty face" didn't even dare to say anything in front of him.

Although the other party looks young, the way he is dressed shows that his status is not low. In addition, there are several military officers standing behind him like stars holding the moon. It seems that the real master is here, and his life is at risk. Still in someone else's hands, whether he lives or dies depends entirely on the other person's thoughts.

Seeing the other party looking at him curiously, Wei Yuan said with a smile on his face: "Are you the "Big Gold Tooth"?" But his eyes were secretly observing whether the other party really had a big gold tooth.

Seeing the other party's inquiry, "Big Golden Tooth" hurriedly knelt down from his half-lying position, as if kowtowing to smash garlic. While kowtowing, he begged for mercy: "Sir, have mercy on me, sir, have mercy on me. It's all my fault for that 'Northern Batian', and so are the common people." The "North Batian" who was driven by him to come to the county town to rob the ocean was the one who took the lead. If the chief wanted to take advantage of him, he would take advantage of the few trails leading into the mountain. We all know it." After saying this, he kowtowed desperately again, lest the officer would be unhappy and have someone pull him out and kill him.

"Oh, then how did "Bei Batian" know that there was Dayang hidden in the county government's bank?" Wei Yuan asked the purpose of his trip.

"It was the county police chief surnamed Ma who revealed the news. He said that the county government's bank account had just allocated 200 million yuan in cash not long ago. He also said that after we finish robbing him, he would pay - and then use his brother-in-law's relationship to find a few scapegoats. Let’s settle this matter and keep talking.”

"What else are you talking about?" asked Yue Weilu, the deputy commander on the side;

"Big Golden Tooth" cautiously raised his head and looked at Wei Yuan's face. Seeing that he was still smiling and nothing was wrong, he hesitated and said:
  "Ma Xingkun said that after robbing Dayang, he would kill the security group's Chief Wei and County Magistrate Shi together."

Hearing the confession of "Big Golden Tooth", Shi Gongxing was very angry. If it was just targeting Wei Yuan, he would understand. After all, the other party replaced his security team leader and blocked his money, but by the way What's the matter with killing myself? I have always been kind to others and I have never offended him in any way, but in turn, I want to kill myself.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, it's simply lawless. I have to go to Fengtian in person to see the young marshal, sue him Ma Xingkun, sue him to the police department." Even with Weiyuan's regular physical fitness, he could barely hold him back. It looked like he was very angry.

Wei Yuan hurriedly pulled him and said: "Brother, let's calm down for the moment. This revenge must be avenged. With such a vicious dog by your side, you and I will have trouble sleeping and eating. The top priority is to send someone to control Ma Xingkun." , get the confessions from him and several bandits, and then go to Marshal Fengtian to sue him. Wouldn’t it be better to replace the police chief with one of our own?"

"I'm going to talk like this with empty teeth like my brother. When the time comes, the other party won't admit it, and they will bite me back and say that the widespread resentment among the people under our rule has led to the proliferation of banditry. In addition, brother-in-law Ma Xingkun is in Fengtian, and you and I will inevitably suffer. The fruit falls."

After calming down, Shi Gongxing also felt that Wei Yuan's words just now made sense, "How could I easily stumble over Ma Xingkun, who was relying on Fengtian?"

He could only sigh and said: "Let the Chief of Guard make the decision on this matter, but we must not spare such a shameless villain lightly." The chest heaving back and forth still seemed to have some lingering anger.

Wei Yuan turned around and said to Zhang Jinghan behind him: "Take your guard platoon and arrest all Ma Xingkun and his confidants. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot in the name of being a bandit.

"From now on, you will take over the police station. All the remaining police officers will be fired. If there is a shortage of manpower, you can ask Deputy Commander Yue to fill up the manpower."

Seeing Wei Yuan give the order, Zhang Jinghan saluted, then hurried to the county government courtyard to summon the security platoon, took three trucks, and drove quickly towards the location of the police station.

After completing the purpose of the trip, Wei Yuan was about to turn around and leave, but "Big Golden Tooth", who was still kneeling on the ground, hugged his leather boots and refused to let go, crying with tears and snot, asking Wei Yuan to spare his life.

Seeing that his parents' leather boots were stained with snot, Yue Weilu on the side raised his leg and kicked the "Big Gold Tooth" on the chest. With this kick, the "Big Gold Tooth" immediately flew three meters away, continuously. Only after knocking down several bandits did he stop his momentum.

Wei Yuan took out the handkerchief in his pocket, wiped the snot from his leather boots and threw it away. Without even looking at the "big golden tooth", he took the lead in walking out of the cell with his long legs.

Shi Gongxing, who was walking side by side with Wei Yuan, couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what Chief Wei is going to do with the gang of gangsters in the cell?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's simple. Let the bandits report each other. Those who committed the worst crimes with lives on their hands will all be pulled out and killed. The rest will be sent to my brother's coal mine to dig coal. Didn't I keep saying this a few days ago?" If we don’t have enough manpower, let them dig in the coal mine for five years first, and then consider how to resettle those who really have a chance to survive.”
