Chapter 55: Gunshots

It was nearly dusk, and the armed police soldiers who had been searching for a long time were a little tired and a little anxious at the same time.

At this moment, several gunshots rang out in the distance, breaking the dullness of the search.

"What's going on? Found them? ”

This is the question of almost all the officers and soldiers of the armed police and the militia of the Construction Corps who are involved in the search for extremist criminals.

With the sound of gunshots, the whole search suddenly stopped.

The gunfire was coming in the direction of the north, which was the road guarded by the militia.

If the militia doesn't have guns in their hands, how can there be gunshots?

A bad premonition came out of Wu Sheng's mind, could it be the guns fired by extreme criminals?

In the face of the questions of the players, he did not speak.

If something happens, the command should immediately call in the nearby armed police force to support it.

The mobile squadron was estimated to be two or three miles away from the direction where the gunfire came, and the armed police force that was closer to them than the road did not know how many, and even if they needed support, it would not be their turn.

Moreover, who knows that this is not a plan by extremist criminals to attack the west, or to divert the main force of the armed police force, and then take advantage of the loophole to escape from the surrounded cornfields.

The mobile squadron did not move, did not continue the search and advance, and did not rush to the direction where the gunfire came.

Three minutes later, squadron leader Wu Sheng received news from the headquarters that two extremist criminals had been spotted on the north road, shot and wounded three militiamen, and fled into the cornfield to the north.

The command judged that the extremist criminals who wounded the militia and fled to the north were just bait to induce the armed police force to divide their forces so as to cover the escape of the leaders of the extremist criminals who were still surrounded in the cornfields in the south.

Therefore, the command ordered the troops to continue the search according to the established plan to ensure that not a single cornfield was missed.

As for the extremist criminals who fled to the north, they are hiding in only a few dozen acres of corn fields, and the rest are cotton fields, and mobile units have been arranged to deal with them.

The judgment of the command was basically the same as Wu Sheng, and since it was not an accident, the entire deployment remained the same.

"Just now, two extremist criminals ran into the north, and there are already troops to deal with it, and we continue to search!"

Hearing this, the team members didn't say anything more and immediately resumed their search.

But they are still a little worried in their hearts, because the gunfire proves that the extremist criminals have hot weapons in their hands, and if the extremist criminals shoot coldly, it will be unlucky.

"Speed up, this area must be searched before sunset, and we must join the brother forces in front of us."

In the face of the task, it is superfluous to worry about cold guns, and if you don't find out the extreme criminals, the threat of cold guns will always exist.

But now that there are so many guns pointed at the front, extreme criminals have to think carefully if they want to get out.

With nervousness and apprehension, the team members searched for a long distance, and finally heard the voices of other armed police units.

In order to avoid nervous misfire, Wu Sheng asked all team members to close the gun insurance.

A few minutes later, the two armed police forces met in the middle of the cornfield and announced that the area had been searched.

After the search of a large area, no other extremist criminals were found, which can only indicate that other extremist criminals are hiding in the remaining hundreds of acres of corn fields that have not been searched.

There are a lot of 10,000 acres of corn fields, and it is not practical to search them all in one day.

The sun had set, and the sight in the dense cornfields was very poor, and if the search continued, not only would they not find anything, but they would even put the armed police soldiers in danger.

After consideration, the command ordered all the officers and men of the armed police to stop the search and the remaining area to be tightly sealed.

The remaining area is not large, and nearly 10,000 people can completely surround the water, so that extremist criminals have no escape.

The command is confident in the capture of extremist criminals.

Not only was the command very confident, but also the armed police units, militia, and public security special police who participated in the war were very confident.

In their opinion, the extremist criminals hiding in the cornfield are the turtles in the urn, and they will be caught when the sun comes out tomorrow!

Everyone believes that it can be done, and there must be a hidden crisis.

If you have too much faith, you will be conceited.

As night fell, the command and the troops involved in the battle soon paid the price for their extreme self-confidence.

The cornfields that have not yet been searched are far from the road, separated by paths less than a meter wide between them, and in the summer when the corn stalks are thriving, there is no difference between the roads and the none.

The armed police officers and policemen who are on duty at night are on duty on this kind of path, which is very close to the cornfield.

A step forward, a step back, can disappear into the cornfield in the dark.

The night is silent, except for the barking of dogs in the distance, only the knowledge not far away.

After the shift, Zhang Wei and his teammates returned to the military vehicle to rest, waiting for the early morning to take over again.

He soon fell asleep in the carriage.

But he didn't know how long he slept, and suddenly a dense burst of gunfire in the distance woke him up.

Waking up with him, there were comrades in the second and third classes, as well as platoon commander Dong Can.

They didn't have time to think, so they jumped out of the military vehicle and formed a warning formation as soon as possible.

Before they could figure out what was happening, the gunshots had already died down.

Squadron Leader Wu Sheng also came outside the car, and he couldn't say why he came to this burst of gunfire.

But he and some of the veterans knew that the dense gunfire just now was from the armed police force's own weapons.

In other words, it was the armed police soldiers who fired the gun, and judging from the direction from which the gunshots came, it should be the cornfield they surrounded.

"It's okay, someone should be nervous and shooting indiscriminately." The gunfire soon stopped, and Wu Sheng didn't think much of it.

Zhang Wei and his teammates also quickly returned to the car to rest.

However, just as they were about to fall asleep, gunshots were heard again in the distance.

I just felt sleepy, and I was woken up by the sound of gunfire again, and the irritability in my heart can be imagined.

Zhang Wei couldn't sleep, and neither could the others.

Who knows if there will be another gunshot to wake them up, and they won't be able to sleep.

But they didn't worry too much about the gunshots, because the gunshots were still the armed police fighters' own.

I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't sit in the dimly lit military vehicle.

As soon as everyone wanted to get out of the car, the platoon commander Dong Can shouted: "Stay in the car obediently, don't run around, wait for the order of the superiors." ”

Dong Can felt that things were not simple, the officers and soldiers of the armed police had received strict training, how could they shoot in the middle of the night because of nervousness for no reason.

There may be something hidden in this.

Could it be that the armed police soldiers on duty heard movement in the cornfield, fired warning shots, and prevented the extremist criminals from moving and fleeing?

Dong Can's speculation has no evidence for the time being, but he thinks this is the most likely.

Zhang Wei and his comrades-in-arms had the urge to get out of the car, so they could only sit in the car and force themselves to sleep.

Before he could fall asleep, gunshots could be heard again in the distance.

"Platoon commander, nothing will happen, right? Do you want to check it out? The third squad leader, Chen Yanchuan, suddenly proposed.
