When the gunshot came, Tang Jianjun immediately jumped up from his seat, grabbed the telephone microphone, picked it up and put it in his ear and dropped it, no need to ask, the telephone line must have been cut off.
He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket again, walked out while dialing, and did not forget to remind Liu Handong when he passed by: "Find a place to hide, be careful of stray bullets." ”
Liu Handong looked around, there was nowhere to hide, the gunshots were getting closer and closer, it was really unlucky, he encountered a terrorist attack when he first arrived in Pakistan, where to reason.
There was a screeching sound of brakes outside, and then the door was kicked open, and a bright flashlight shone in, and the unintelligible dialect filled the ears, and the beard, the Arab robe, the AK47 automatic rifle, and the image of Tali-Ban in the news came alive in front of him.
Tang Jianjun can speak the local language, he danced loudly and negotiated with the other party, but was knocked to the ground by the butt of a gun, Liu Handong stood in the house with nowhere to escape, facing the muzzle of the black hole and could only raise his hands and surrender.
This is a turbulent area close to Afghanistan, not Omi City, where singing and dancing are leveling, the underworld in my hometown is just a bluff, and a troll can alarm the provincial department, I am afraid that the dispatch of armed helicopters here is commonplace, Liu Handong's courage and ability, one of the best in Omi, it is not enough to see here, it annoys people, and it is not fragrant to eat anything when a shuttle hits.
The gunmen brutally pushed Tang Jianjun out of the door, and escorted Liu Handong out, three or four automatic rifles pointed at his head, Liu Handong did not dare to act rashly, obediently cooperated and went out, got into a pickup truck, and there were already two people squatting in the carriage, both of whom were hostages.
At this time, it is more than nine o'clock in the night, and the suburbs of Peshawar are not as brightly lit as in China, but the night sky is also clear, and you can see a little starry and tracer bullets fired by machine guns in the distance, which are red and green, which is better than the fireworks bullets released during the New Year.
It was a surprise attack, and the bandits roared in two Chinese-made ZTE pickup trucks and a Japanese off-road vehicle, one of which was also equipped with a large-caliber Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun, and the masked armed men in the compartment were armed with RPGs and old British Enfield rifles.
When the convoy rushed out of the gate, Liu Handong saw the corpse of a Pakistani guard lying in the sentry box, the automatic rifle still in his hand, his eyes slightly open, and his chest was covered with blood.
The convoy was moving high, speeding along the asphalt road, Liu Handong wanted to jump out of the car, but the armed personnel on the car were very vigilant, and their fingers were on the trigger, as long as they made the slightest movement, they would immediately be beaten into a hornet's nest, so he still dispelled this idea.
Suddenly, the lights of the car in front of him turned on, and it turned out that the Pakistani security forces who had received the alarm had arrived.
Pickup trucks equipped with large-caliber machine guns were located on the road, and the gunmen opened fire on the security forces, a series of 12.7 mm bullet casings were thrown into the air, the gunshots were deafening, and the orange muzzle flames were particularly eye-catching in the night, setting off the gunman's face very hideous.
The military vehicle on the opposite side was hit by fire and exploded, and the soldiers of the security forces got out of the car and returned fire, and Tali-Ban fired a false shot, and the car rushed down the roadbed and moved on the gravel wasteland, slowing down considerably.
A hostage in the same car suddenly burst out, jumped out of the car, fell to the ground and rolled up, and before he could run a few steps, he was hit by a rifle by a gunman in a car behind, the gunman used an old-fashioned bolt-action rifle, two fingers pulled the bolt, the action was neat and natural, and he could hit the moving target on the high-moving car, and only used one bullet, which shows the mastery of marksmanship, and Liu Handong, who was about to move, immediately dispelled the idea of jumping out of the car.
Tang Jianjun covered his eyes in pain, another white and chubby man in the same car was stupid, his pants were wet, and Liu Handong was still surprised by the militants' accurate marksmanship.
The unlucky guy who was killed came from the same plane, and he didn't know his name, but I heard him brag all the way, saying that he had been a scout or something before, and it seemed that what he said was true, and he was very bold but unlucky.
Liu Handong has seen blood, and he has more than ten lives on his hands, and his psychological element is quite strong, at this moment, he is not only not afraid, but adrenaline secretion, faintly excited.
He didn't sympathize with the colleague who had been killed, because it was war, or so he thought.
The three cars drove forward for another half hour, and finally stopped under the moonlight, where two covered trucks met them, and the Tully-Bans got out of the car, shouted and drove the three hostages out of the car, searched for all their personal belongings, covered them with black hoods, tied their hands behind their backs, and escorted them into a truck.
"Don't be afraid, they won't kill us." Manager Tang comforted in the dark, but immediately he was hit with a rifle butt.
Liu Handong has a little respect for this surnamed Tang, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he still wants to appease the employees, he is a good leader.
Manager Tang is right, if Tali-Ban wants to kill people, just shoot the head and it's over, and it won't be so troublesome to send people back, according to the previous news, my country's diplomatic institutions are still very powerful, especially the incident is easier to solve in Pakistan, find a few tribal elders to coordinate, give a little dollar to exchange people back, after all, we are harmless to humans and animals, and we are not the American imperialism that people and gods are angry about.
After a few hours of jolting in the truck, he finally arrived at his destination, the temperature was significantly lower, and wearing a single coat was no longer enough to withstand the cold, Liu Handong's sixth sense told him that this was already Afghanistan.
Surrounded by long periods of darkness, Liu Handong had to rely on his sense of hearing and smell to observe his surroundings, hearing dogs barking and donkeys barking, smelling the stench of livestock, the smell of mutton, diesel engines and gun oil, and the footsteps around him probably came from more than 20 armed men.
Someone opened the tailgate of the carriage, pulled them down, pushed them into a room, and then took off the hood and slammed the door shut.
The house was made of clods of earth, the floor was covered with a blanket of rough horsehair, and the windows were so small that no one could get out.
"Don't panic, don't be afraid, the motherland will rescue us." Tang Jianguo's voice was a little dry, but it was quite calm.
"Mr. Tang, my child is only five years old, I can't die." The white fat man cried tears like rain, and in the enclosed space, his wet crotch emitted an unpleasant smell.
"Don't howl, if you want to kill early, you won't wait until now." Liu Handong scolded angrily, slowly moved his hands from behind his back to under his buttocks, then turned to his chest, and bit the rope open with his teeth.
Tang Jianjun's eyes lit up: "Your name is Liu Handong, have you been a soldier?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Handong responded casually.
"What troops, did they participate in the battle?" Tang Jianjun moved over, "Help me untie the rope." ”
Liu Handong ignored him, first walked to the side of the window and glanced out, there were two gun-wielding sentinels outside the door, and on the roof in the distance, there were gunners with Soviet sVd sniper rifles on duty.
This army is still very amateurish, Liu Handong made a judgment, how can snipers be exposed, they should hide in a hidden place to monitor the overall situation, it seems that he overestimated them.
He turned around and untied Tang Jianjun's rope, and just as he was about to speak, Tang Jianjun said: "Later, you cooperate with me, I will let you do whatever you want." ”
The white fat man cried: "Mr. Tang, and me." ”
Tang Jianjun untied his rope and comforted: "Don't be afraid of the fight later, just run away." ”
The white fat man cried, "But, where are you going?" ”
"To the south, this is Afghanistan, and you can only return to Pakistan by running south, but the car has been driving for so long, at least a few hundred kilometers, and it is no fun to run on two legs." Liu Handong said coldly.
"What then?" The white fat man was desperate, "Running is death, not running is death, besides, I can't figure out where the south is." ”
Liu Handong shook his head helplessly, and was about to explain to him how to distinguish the direction with the stars in the wild, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps from far and near, he hurriedly flew to tie up the white fat man and Tang Jianjun again, but he used a live buckle, and he opened it with a shake.
The door lock was opened, several soldiers walked in, and took the white fat man and Tang Jianjun out, Liu Handong's heart rose to his throat, is he going to shoot someone?
The fat white man also guessed this, and was so frightened that the Tali-Ban soldiers were furious, kicked him to the ground, beat him hard, and dragged him away.
Half an hour later, the two came back, the white fat man had a blue nose and swollen face, and Tang Jianjun was safe and sound.
"What's going on?" Liu Handong asked.
"Arraignment, they want to confirm their identity." Tang Jianjun seemed to be very relaxed, "It shouldn't be a terrorist with a political appeal, but a cross-border bandit who wants to kidnap foreigners to take a break in the autumn breeze, they are running for me, and I am the one who wants to be kidnapped, and I am very happy to get what I want." ”
Liu Handong also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the white fat man Nunu: "What about him, what kind of official is he?" Could it be the branch secretary of the project department? ”
Tang Jianjun smiled bitterly: "He is our cook, because he eats fat, he is regarded as a leader by others." ”
The white fat man sighed and looked sad.
"What's next? Don't run anymore? Liu Handong asked.
"Don't take risks for the time being, wait for the organization of rescue, the diplomatic relations between our country and Pakistan are quite good, and we are here to aid the construction, the military will definitely increase the rescue efforts, and the diplomatic institutions will also mediate in many ways to ensure the safety of our lives." Tang Jianjun seemed to be full of confidence.
……
The Chinese Embassy in Islamabad was brightly lit all night, and four Chinese construction workers were kidnapped by unknown armed men at the Peshawar thermal power plant construction site.
Hours later, the bad news came that the local security forces had found the body of a kidnapped hostage in the wasteland, shot in the chest and killed, apparently executed.
In Beijing, in the Zhongyanhuang headquarters building, Zheng Jia stepped on high heels and walked into the elevator when she heard someone talking about the attack on the Peshawar power plant project.
"Is the loss big?" Zheng Jiayi interjected and asked.
"Some equipment was damaged, four people were missing, and two of them were unlucky enough to be tied up just after passing through the country."
Zheng Jiayi's heart was pounding, and after coming to his office, he quickly turned on the computer to watch the news, which was already reported on Weibo, but did not mention the specific name of the kidnapper.
"I hope it's not that coincidental." Zheng Jiayi stroked her chest, and the heart palpitations for no reason made it difficult for her to calm down.
After a while, a list of kidnapped employees appeared on the internal sharing, and Liu Handong's name was prominently listed.
Zheng Jiayi closed her eyes, held her forehead and tried to calm down, and it took ten minutes to recover, she picked up the phone and dialed an internal number, and asked indifferently, "Is it Yang Xu?" ”
"Jiayi, are you looking for me?" The other party was very welcoming.
"I want to ask you, why did you temporarily transfer Liu Handong to Pakistan, you knew that there was a risk over there and did this, do you want to kill him?"
"Jiayi, you listen to me, it's a coincidence."
"I'm waiting for your written explanation!" Zheng Jiayi hung up the phone, angry, she and Liu Handong met Yang Xu in the bar the day before yesterday, this guy didn't know what crazy and jealous, he actually used his relationship to change Liu Handong's dispatch destination, and he was assigned to Peshawar without training.
