On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, coinciding with 666, I wish all book friends a prosperous New Year and good fortune!

The vine artemisia one man tall spread everywhere with sinuous vines, and the tall and thick trees shaded the ground dark and damp.

Countless birds jumped and chirped in the forest, countless insects and ants shuttled through the forest, and the hot and humid air smelled of corruption.

From time to time, spiders and snakes flickered among the grass and leaves, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the distance.

From China, Burma, China, Laos to China and Vietnam, the entire nearly 2,600-kilometer border is full of this kind of mountainous tropical rainforest area.

In the sound of heavy panting, a group of more than 20 people walked between the dense forests of the mountains, which were already Chinese territory, and these people came from the border between China and Laos and traveled through the mountains for more than ten days, with the purpose of Mengla.

wiped the sweat off his face, wiped it on his face with his open placket, turned his head to look at the horse team, and then looked up at the front, the mountains and forests were dense, and he couldn't see it at all, only a small piece of blue sky overhead.

"Old Song, how long will it take to arrive?" a bearded man came over with a cigarette roll and asked, revealing the handle of the gun stuck in his belt through the open placket, Lao Song glanced at it and said, "There is still half a day, soon." You put away the roast chicken (pistol), this side is tightly controlled, it is a big deal for people to see, do you want all the brothers to be unlucky with you?"

The bearded man looked indifferent, pulled out the pistol and inserted it into his waist, wiped a handful of sweat, looked around and said, "Why don't you rest here, it's almost here anyway, eat something and sleep for a while, I'm too tired." ”

Lao Song thought for a while and nodded and said, "Then rest for a while, I'm hungry too." Walk into the woods and let the two brothers keep sentry. ”

The bearded man looked back and forth and said, "It's far from the border, so there shouldn't be any people, right?"

The two men went into the forest by the roadside together, spread a plastic sheet on the thick deciduous humus, and then the man lay down, let out a long breath, and within a few minutes the snoring got up, and the pack horse was tied to the tree at will, slowly bowing his head and biting the weeds, and the goods he carried were unloaded and piled aside.

Packhorse caravans like this are common on this border, where the mountains are high and the forests are inaccessible, and the transportation of goods is basically carried out in this primitive way. The state has been calling on border people to live in a centralized manner, but there are many scattered ethnic minorities in this mountainous area, all with their own traditions and ancestral lands, and they have become accustomed to this kind of life, and the government's appeal has not had much effect.

Suddenly, a pack horse snorted and looked up at the mountains and forests not far away, and in the view of the pack horse, two sentry fellows were leaning against the trees and napping. The pack horse kicked its front hooves restlessly, but the reins were tightly tied to the tree to restrict its movements, and it could only pace around the side of the tree, very uneasy.

Two of the other pack horses on the side also got agitated, but most of them just glanced up and continued to gnaw on the turf.

A swarthy palm stretched out into the air and made a stop gesture, the owner of the finger had camouflage painted on his face, his serious face under the camouflage helmet was covered with sweat, and he was half-kneeling in the grass in camouflage camouflage, and even the spear in his hand was wrapped in camouflage nets.

With his gesture, a group of people in the same costume who fanned out behind him instantly stopped and fell down and hid in the grass, the air seemed to freeze, and the kneeling people tilted their heads and listened carefully for a while, and the faint snoring in front of them came with the sound of horses.

The two groups of people were separated by a dense forest of artemisia grass and were less than fifty meters apart. This is the most troublesome problem in jungle warfare, if you don't get close to it, you won't know that there is someone on the side.

The half-kneeling man made a gesture and tapped a nearby tree. Immediately, a smaller man behind him stooped down to the bottom of the tree, strapped his gun to his body, and climbed up silently, like a monkey. After climbing between the leaves above, he fixed his body with his legs, took off the gun and held it in his hand to aim in the direction of the commander's finger, and looked through the scope on the gun to see that side.

After observing for a while, he quickly slid down from the tree with his gun on his back, and deftly slipped to the commanding officer's side and lay down in the grass, his mouth pressed to the commandant's ear and reported: "A horse team saw five pack horses and nine piles of goods, two sentry posts, and the personnel only saw six. ”

The conductor nodded and thought for a moment, then pinched his five fingers and pointed to the left with his index finger, and then pointed to the right with the same gesture, then compared to a five, and clenched his fist. Immediately, ten people got up from the grass, and in groups of five they dived in two directions, left and right, and the others did not move, all looking at their watches on their wrists.

For five minutes, everyone jumped up almost at the same time, bent over and rushed forward with the artemisia grass scattered.

The slight swishing sound of clothes rubbing against the artemisia grass, the stalks of the shoes breaking the grass, the sound of breathing, all the sounds in the windless and silent forest seemed to be amplified, which seemed to be tense and exciting.

Two sentry one leaned against the tree, one sat at the bottom of the tree, two people leaned on the trunk of the tree and slept in a daze, suddenly awakened by the sound and felt that someone, just about to turn his head to see clearly, his mouth was covered by a big hand wearing gloves, and then his neck was sore, he lost consciousness, and fell down softly. The camouflage figure quickly flashed past the two corpses, and finally the passer-by paused and searched out two black stars from the corpses' waists.

Lao Song and the bearded man were sleeping soundly on the plastic sheet in the woods, and suddenly stopped snoring, Lao Song opened his eyes and listened intently, and the muscles on his hands and legs were about to jump up, and then immediately stopped, he slowly lay down and closed his eyes, only the slightly twisted ears showed his waking state.

The horse, which had been alert for the first time, did not turn for a moment, and sat on its knees on the grass with its head bent, while the few grazing horses behind it were still eating, and from time to time they swept their tails, while the other two stood still, staring at the woods with wide eyes.

The sound of footsteps and running reached Lao Song's ears, he subconsciously clenched his fists, his closed eyes trembled, and the ups and downs of his chest became rapid.

Soon a group of camouflage uniforms surrounded the horse team, the muzzle of the gun was on the head, the people of the horse team were handcuffed and searched one by one, the knife black star was collected into a pocket, the commander slowly walked over, squatted down and asked a horse team member who was kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands: "How many people are there?"

"Two, twenty-three. ”

"Where did it come from?"

"Outside, outside. ”

"Where are the leaders and guides?"

The team member pointed to the woods and said, "Over there, the head is called Beard, and the guide is called Lao Song." The conductor stood up and walked over into the woods.

Lao Song and the bearded man were also handcuffed and kneeling on the plastic sheet, and the guns and grenades on the two people were searched out and put aside.

The commander walked over, the camouflage on the side pulled the hair and lifted the heads of the two people, the commander looked at the bearded man and said, "Beard?" The bearded man struggled to twist his face to the side, the commander looked at Lao Song and asked, "Are you the guide?

Lao Song said, "Yes." ”

The commander crouched down and asked, "Who?" and waved his hand to signal Camouflage to let go of his hand.

Old Song shook his head and said, "On Mengla Street." A bead of sweat flowed down the corner of Lao Song's forehead to the corner of his eyes, he raised his handcuffed hands to wipe it, and when his hand was raised to his face, his left hand was clenched into a fist and placed on his right wrist, and the five fingers of his right hand were put together and his arm was straight, and he wiped off the sweat with the tips of his middle fingers.

The commander raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Collect the team, handcuff these people together, let the guide lead the way in front, and bring the goods well." The men of the horse team were skewered in handcuffs, their beards were beaten, and they followed the pack horses with the goods set up on the road, and Lao Song walked alone beside the head horse, and on both sides of the group were camouflage armed with automatic rifles.

Even if you don't string it up, no one dares to run, and if you run to the mountains alone, you will be sent to death, and it is better to be caught and go back, maybe there is still a way to live.

Over the course of more than half a month, the same thing occurred in more than 40 cases in the dense forests of the border of more than 2,000 kilometers, with more than 20 shootouts taking place, killing 56 drug dealers, sacmoding the death of one person, seriously injuring five people, slightly injuring 42 people, and arresting 762 people.

There are many border residents who make money by transporting drugs, and these people cannot be regarded as drug dealers, so they can only be handed over to the government for disposal. They will be relocated inwards en masse.
