The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 33
  Inside the Andong County Police Station

On the gambling table where two desks were put together, a few dice were shaken loudly.

In the smoky atmosphere, a dozen policemen, wearing hats crookedly and with open collars, were making such a loud noise that it could be heard through the door of the police station.

Ma Xingkun, who also had his police uniform jacket open, a sinewy face and a big bald head, was having fun at the moment.

Squeak... After several rapid braking sounds, there was a burst of footsteps in the yard. Just as a police officer guarding the door was about to stop him, a Colt M1991 was pressed against his forehead.

"Where is your director Ma Xingkun?"

The visitor was Lieutenant Zhang Jinghan, Weiyuan's guard platoon leader.

"Ma... Director Ma is playing cards inside." The police officer pointed to the door behind him tremblingly. The pressure of the cold muzzle on his forehead was too much.

"Disarmed him"

After saying that, he ignored the frightened police officer, raised his 45-yard foot, and kicked the office door.

After a crash, the wooden door panel of the office was kicked in.

A group of police officers who had gathered their heads together waiting to place their bets were also interrupted by the sudden movement. After seeing clearly that the person coming was the "Qiu Ba" from the security team, one of Ma Xingkun's confidants was just about to reach out and touch it. A shell gun thrown beside the table.

"boom"

The huge kinetic energy of the .45 large-caliber bullet instantly opened a big hole in his chest. The man collapsed on the chair behind him. He was breathing too much out and taking in too little air. It looked like he would not survive. The big hole in his chest was still opening out. There was blood, and for a while the whole room was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Zhang Jinghan held the M1991 with white smoke still coming from the muzzle and said: "If you don't want to die, just stay still. My bullets don't have long eyes."

The remaining police officers looked at the lessons learned around them and gave up the idea of ​​getting their guns to resist this danger.

Ma Xingkun's face behind the table was gloomy and uncertain. He didn't expect that these "Qiu Ba" gang would dare to attack the police station brazenly and shoot to kill people. Now he caught Wei Yuan's pigtails, and he was worried that he couldn't find a reason to go. Complain in front of brother-in-law.

But looking at the heavily armed militia soldiers in front of him, he finally decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate consequences: "Our police station has always been on good terms with your security group. What do you mean by mobilizing troops to attack the police station today? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the chief?"

Hearing what Ma Xingkun said, Zhang Jinghan was happy. Their relationship had reached this point, and he, Ma Xingkun, was still pretending to be confused.

Then he sneered: "The gunshots rang out for half the night last night. I don't believe Director Ma didn't hear it. I won't give you any nonsense. If you have anything to say, I will explain it myself when I see you later."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and there were two fully armed soldiers behind him, ready to tie him up. Ma Xingkun was struggling to say something else, but a soldier next to him immediately hit him with the butt of his rifle, and blood suddenly flowed from his forehead. His face looked bloody.

After arresting Ma Xingkun, Zhang Jinghan pointed at the remaining police officers and said to his deputy platoon leader: "Take off their police uniforms, disarm their weapons, and leave half of the platoon for you." Responsible for maintaining law and order on the streets and following the next steps of the group."

Only then did Ma Xingkun, who was tied up, return to the militia.

At this moment, the leader of the Wei Da regiment and the military chiefs of the security regiment were looking at a huge military map of Anton's territory to study the suppression of bandits in the territory.

This map is a 3D color topographic map that Weiyuan specially shot with a drone and printed with a computer. Both the clarity and the level of detail far exceed the same type of map during the Republic of China. Even Yue Weilu and his gang were working on the tax It was the first time for the police regiment's instructor, who had seen the world, to see such a clear, large-scale military map.

At this time, they saw Wei Yuan holding a baton and pointing at the map once after saying something. This made all the officers tremble with fear and felt that their own regiment felt like a waste of natural resources.

If Anton wants to develop, in addition to his own direct investment, he must also have a good business environment. The so-called good business environment requires not only favorable policies, perfect infrastructure, but also a public security environment.

At present, all roads in the county have been opened, and the dock has been expanded and repaired, and it has the capacity to dock 10,000-ton cargo ships.

As for policies, after discussions with Shi Gongxing some time ago, all merchants who come to Andong for business will be tax-free for the first three years, and will be exempted from all corvee and assessments. Notices stamped with the seals of the county government and the militia were posted throughout the country. All towns in the county.

Then the only thing left is the public security environment. There are so many dandruffs all over the Northeast now. After all, it’s not unusual for Marshal Zhang to have a beard. In addition, the Northeast has been a land of bitter cold since ancient times, and agriculture and commerce are not developed compared to Guan Nei. , economic backwardness has led to prominent public security problems.

Some bankrupt farmers or some wandering desperadoes just picked up a few guns and occupied a hilltop as a bandit's den. They usually made a living by robbing passing caravans, kidnapping, and robbing homes.

Moreover, Wei Yuan also plans to train the security regiment in this bandit suppression. No matter how good the performance is on the training ground, soldiers who have not experienced actual combat will not grow up after all. Only soldiers who have experienced the test of blood and fire and finally survived , can be called a qualified soldier.

"I command"

With a flick of the brush, in front of the long table covered with blue velvet, more than a dozen officers of all sizes stood up, standing at attention and waiting for the commander's instructions.

"In addition to the third battalion of the whole regiment, which stayed behind at the regiment headquarters to enforce security in the county and industrial parks, the first and second battalions, the tank unit, the artillery unit, and the special shooter unit were fully mobilized to completely eliminate the banditry in the territory with thunderous momentum. Give the people in Andong a bright and sunny day”

This also allowed Wei Datuanzuo to personally experience the demeanor of Bald Jiang on TV.

More than ten miles north from Heigou Town, there is Heixiazi Mountain. The mountain is steep and steep. There is only a trail that can be walked by one person to the top of the mountain. This is also the lair of "Bei Batian".

Since ancient times, in any place where one man is in control and ten thousand men are not allowed to open, the people who live there are often not good people, and Heixiazi Mountain is no exception. At first, the "Northern Batian" gathered dozens of people and started to attack Here, he occupies the mountain as king. He usually robs caravans, kidnaps a few wealthy families, or harms a few young wives in the villages down the mountain. His life is quite leisurely. Gradually, the name of "Bei Batian" became more and more famous. With the advantage of geographical location, the officers and soldiers failed to annihilate them in several encirclement and suppression campaigns. Instead, they were beaten into disgrace by "Bei Batian" and did not gain any advantage. It attracted many people. A few desperadoes and farmers who went bankrupt due to excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes came to seek refuge, and now they have gathered thousands of people, who are considered the number one figure in the entire Northeast Beard.

Dou Xuegui is one of the many minions in Heixiazi Mountain. When his parents were still alive, he spent two liters of millet to find a storyteller in the town to give him this name in order to get ahead. He has just turned eighteen this year. He is about 1.8 meters tall. It is said that a half-grown man can live in poverty, and a taller person can eat more. After the death of his parents, the few acres of thin farmland at home were occupied by relatives of the same clan for various reasons.

He often lived a day of hungry meals, until one day the bandits came down to rob the mountain and found that such a young man had such a good figure. The key was that he had no father or mother. Without saying a word, he took him back to Heixiazi. Copycat.

This year is already Dou Xuegui’s third year at Heixiazi Mountain. Because he is young and has a weak temper, he usually feeds horses, chops firewood, and watches watch on the mountain. But when it is beneficial, he kicks him aside. Today he I was sent to stand guard at the entrance to the mountain.

Because Dou Xuegui was guarding a secret post today. It was said to be a secret post, but it was actually a hidden cave carved by bandits on the cliff for one person to hide in. Since it was from a high place, one could overlook the entire mountain trail through the entrance of the cave.

The main function of this sentry post was to provide early warning, so the bandit leader threw him an old sleeve with smooth rifling. He didn't need to hit it accurately or far, as long as he could hit it loud enough to be heard on the mountain.

The cave is not big, and can only accommodate one person lying down. In addition, Dou Xueguisheng is tall, and if he lies down in the cave, the space in the cave will seem very cramped.

The mountains themselves are high in altitude, and the winter in the Northeast warms up late. Although it is already early May, when the mountain wind blows at night, Dou Xuegui couldn't help but tremble while holding his old muff. Tighten the weeds used to hide the hole.

There is a bright moon in the west wind, and the cliffs are like knives. It is already midnight. With the bright moonlight, the wild grass on the side of the path into the mountain is blown by the mountain wind, and the shadows look like ghosts.

The specific action plan was formulated by the staff composed of Yue Weilu and a group of instructors. The specific action for this attack mission was to focus on Heixiazi Mountain and attack it simultaneously through multiple routes to achieve the purpose of surprise.

Dou Xuegui, who was too cold to sleep, was about to get out of the cave and sneak back to the mountain to sleep, but he found that there were more than a dozen ghost-like figures on the narrow path that only accommodated one person.

He quickly pulled up the bolt of the old-sleeved gun in his arms and prepared to fire a warning shot on the mountain, but found that the magazine was empty. I don’t know which Madaha gave Dou Xuegui an empty gun, "It is precisely because of this empty gun and the old-sleeved gun." He was lucky enough to survive without being beaten," Dou Xuegui, who had retired many years later and looked after his grandchildren, told his children.

The person leading the way was a lieutenant reconnaissance platoon leader. One side of the path was a cliff, and the other side was a bottomless cliff, winding to the top of the mountain in the distance under the moonlight.

Spread out the map, turn on the compass, and use the held up raincoat to prevent the flashlight from being exposed.

"According to the large-scale military map issued by the commander, two kilometers further forward is the gate of Heixiazi Mountain's cottage."

Turning off the flashlight, he folded up the map and put it into a leather bag specially designed to carry the map. Then he waved to the alert team behind him, signaling to continue to follow and move forward.

If you observe carefully, you will find that each of these dozen people is equipped with two guns, a long one and a short one. They are carrying a small square bag. Even the helmets on their heads are not reflective under the moonlight.

When they passed the cliff cave, the lieutenant platoon leader leading the team suddenly stopped and showed a gesture of preparation for battle behind him.

With his intuition, the lieutenant felt that something was not right about this cliff, but he could not tell what was wrong for a while. He used the moonlight to observe the cliff carefully.

Seeing this scene through the telescope, Yue Weilu also raised his hand to signal to stop advancing. The main force following the reconnaissance platoon also stopped immediately. The accompanying artilleryman also immediately placed the mortar on his shoulder on the ground, preparing to adjust and fire at Zhu Yuan. To provide fire support at any time.

Dou Xuegui, who was lying in the cave on the cliff, was covering his mouth with his hands and did not dare to breathe out, for fear of disturbing the ghostly figure under the cliff.

After observing for a while, I found that the entire cliff was covered with rocks and grass, and was completely dark. There was nothing unusual about it, and then I made another gesture to move forward.

Under the moonlight, the walled city built with logs and sandbags seemed to be more than two stories high. In addition to a Maxim, the firepower above the walled city even had a few red-coated general cannons. I don’t know. How did these bandits lift this thing weighing a thousand kilograms to the top of the mountain?

The Maxim heavy machine gun mounted on it was definitely a killer weapon in this era. No wonder the officers and soldiers were beaten into disgrace and suffered heavy losses during several encirclement and suppression campaigns.

Beside a bonfire not far from Maxim, several bandits were carrying rifles on their backs. Because of the cold, they inserted their hands into their cuffs and chatted about something. In the howling mountain wind, they occasionally heard the sound of a woman's buttocks. class words.

Behind the tangled grass, the lieutenant waved his hand, and several soldiers behind him immediately took out their crossbows and aimed arrows at the bandits on the wall. The faint blue color on the arrows indicated that the arrows were smeared with poison. .

With the light from the bonfire, the figures of the people on the wall were clearly visible. The attack targets were assigned through gestures. The moment after the attack was fired, the people on the wall fell to the ground, regardless of whether they were hit or not. The key is that as long as it is hit, the poison smeared on the arrow will see the blood and seal the throat, killing the person in an instant.

The moment the machine was fired, several grippers were placed on the wall. The black figure was like an ape. It only took a few breaths to climb up the wall. He immediately confirmed whether the people who fell to the ground were still breathing, and then Carefully remove the firearms from the shoulder straps of several people on the ground.

However, the accident still happened. The muffled "plop" sound of several people who fell to the ground still attracted the bandits under the wall of the opposite village to come up to check.

As soon as he exposed his head from the stairs, he heard a "bang" gunshot, and the bandit rolled down the stairs and fell under the wall of the village.

This sudden gunshot also broke the midnight silence, followed by intensive gunfire instantly, like exploding beans, and like a strong wind and rain.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon who had already climbed up the wall of the house picked up their Thompson submachine guns and relied on the super firepower of the fifty-round drum magazine to quickly advance under the opposite wall and seize the gate of the village in an instant.

The remaining soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon outside the house wall also used the handholds set up to climb up the wall to provide fire support. Some bandits who hurriedly got up in their sleep to reinforce, and were disheveled like headless flies, had just left the house. , was nailed to death in front of the door by this sudden fierce firepower.

The soldiers in the rear group also gave up concealment and rushed to the village wall as quickly as possible to provide support. The artillery artillery team that had already established a position also began to attack the enemy behind the wall through the radio guidance of the reconnaissance platoon soldiers on the wall. At the firepower point where the resistance was still there, a roll call was conducted one by one.

Dou Xuegui braved the courage to look at the cottage through the gap in the grass at the entrance of the cave. There was a fire on the top of the mountain. The dark night sky was like daylight under the blazing fire. The shadowy mountains seemed to be full of shaking figures. There were gunshots, explosions, and shouts of death. The sound became one, and he knew that "Bei Batian" was finished.
