Chapter 53 Surrounding 10,000 acres of cornland
A few hours later, the military vehicle stopped, and the armed police mobile team arrived at its destination in southern Xinjiang.
They are located not in the urban area, but in the wilderness.
The fighters were allowed to get out of the car and move, but at the same time they were ordered not to go far.
After getting off the bus, Zhang Wei only saw an endless field of crops, and as far as the eye could see, a patch of lush corn grew, and he didn't know where it extended.
"Give you ten minutes to pee, eat, and rest, and you are not allowed to stay away from the road, let alone into the cornfields, without orders!"
After squadron leader Wu Sheng left, platoon commander Dong Can issued instructions in accordance with his orders.
Half an hour later, Wu Sheng returned to the team, summoned all the team members, and announced the order.
"Comrades have seen that we are not the only ones who have come to carry out the task this time, we all cheer up, don't be ashamed of me!"
"I just got the news, after preliminary investigation, investigation, and tracking, that gang of extreme criminals may be hiding in the cornfield."
"This corn field is huge, tens of thousands of acres, and it is not easy to find the extremist criminals hiding in it."
"The superiors asked us to cooperate with other fraternal troops to first surround 10,000 acres of corn fields, and then divide and search them piece by piece."
"It's getting dark, and the official search starts tomorrow. Take turns on duty tonight, assign tasks now! ”
"Six o'clock to eight o'clock in one row, eight o'clock to ten o'clock in the second row, ten o'clock to twelve o'clock in the third row, twelve o'clock to two o'clock in the first row, and so on, and the search mission will start tomorrow. During the period when not performing duty duties, rest and standby. ”
"Move five hundred meters to the east, ten meters apart between the two, and line up along the road to the east!"
The order was given, and the whole team immediately boarded the car and moved east.
A few minutes later, a platoon of two squads lined up on the road more than ten meters away from the cornfield.
Although the distance extended is nearly 200 meters, it is really not enough compared with 10,000 acres of corn fields.
In fact, for the armed police soldiers, even if they don't sleep at night, they can still persevere, and only two squads of six squads are used to carry out tasks, which is really a waste of troops.
There are many people who think this way, and Zhang Wei is one of them.
Before the sun set, they were asked to sleep in the car, and who got it, but they were all closing their eyes and pretending to sleep.
It was quiet in the car, and you could hear the breeze blowing in the cornfield outside.
"Platoon commander, I really can't sleep, can I go out to breathe?" I don't know which member of the third class suddenly spoke up and broke the silence.
"If you can't sleep, sit for me and keep your spirits up." Dong Can leaned against the carriage, if it weren't for his mouth moving, he really thought he was asleep.
Zhang Wei half-opened his eyes and looked around, everyone's state was about the same, there were beads of sweat on their heads, the car was really stuffy, it was better to go out on a mission.
"Platoon leader, this corn field is ten thousand acres, and we are more than a dozen people on duty, it's a bit of a waste, if we can't surround it, what if the extremist criminals run away?"
"As long as you talk a lot, you are smart?" Dong Can reprimanded: "Do you know how many people came this time? There are 15,600 armed police forces from all over the country alone, not counting the public security people's police. ”
"In addition, there are also people from the nearby construction corps, to say the least, there are nearly 10,000 people. So many people, even hand in hand, surrounded the cornfield. ”
"Fencing is only secondary, the important thing is to enter the cornfield to search. Once the shard-split search begins, the forces will be dispersed. ”
"In a cornfield with unclear vision, you have to respond to emergencies at any time, so you have to concentrate and rest is essential!"
"Don't talk nonsense, your mind is calm and naturally cool, and go to bed quickly."
It was only at this time that Zhang Wei knew that their team of less than 60 people accounted for only a small part of the troops on this mission.
The soldiers of the third squad were not so worried and relieved, while the soldiers of the second squad were a little lost.
When night fell, the second platoon took over the first row of sentry posts to carry out the task of encirclement duty.
Zhang Wei saw that between the two armed police members, there were still three or four militiamen, and they should be the people of the nearby construction corps.
With such a large encirclement density, it is really impossible for extremist criminals to quietly escape from the encirclement.
The cool breeze blows and refreshes your senses.
Carrying out tasks is much more comfortable than sleeping in the car.
From eight o'clock to ten o'clock, under the moonlight, although there were some slight sounds in the cornfield in front of him, Zhang Wei was nervous several times, but in the end nothing happened.
During the first duty session, nothing happened.
The third row took over the sentry post, and he returned to the car to rest for four hours, and it was late at night when he took over the sentry post again at two o'clock.
At the same post, the militia near Zhang Wei has been replaced, and it seems that they are also rotated.
By four o'clock the changing of the guard, nothing happened except for the "rustle" of the breeze in the cornfield.
By dawn in the morning, when the second platoon took over the sentry again at six o'clock, the situation was still the same.
A peaceful night passed.
It's a good thing that nothing is good, and it means that the extremist criminals are still in the cornfields.
At eight o'clock in the morning, squadron leader Wu Sheng rushed back to the squadron station from the headquarters, bringing the search task assigned by the headquarters, as well as a map.
It is clearly marked on the map that the mobile squadron is responsible for searching the area of nearly 500 acres in front of them.
The area of 500 acres is not big, but it is definitely not small, especially the dense corn that grows more than one person high, and the difficulty of searching can be imagined.
And Wu Sheng also conveyed the requirements of his superiors: corn is carefully planted by the construction corps, and the grain should not be destroyed at will!
If you don't damage the corn, it's unlikely that you want to search for it quickly.
The difficulty of the task has increased several times more.
Less than 60 people, how to search 500 acres of corn fields?
Wu Sheng's head is big when he thinks about it, and what about others.
However, since the higher authorities have given the task, there is no room for negotiation and thanks, so they can only resolutely complete it.
In fact, they were not the only ones who searched the 500 acres of cornfield, and the headquarters also assigned them a militia team of 500 people.
According to the requirements of the superiors, the search must be completed within a day to determine the location of the extremist criminals.
The time was tight and the task was heavy, so after Wu Sheng held a meeting with the platoon leaders and squad leaders, the search plan was quickly determined.
The cornfields here are flat, and they can be lined up, spaced three meters apart, searching in the same direction.
The militia is divided into two parts, one part is responsible for perimeter duty, patrol and vigilance, and the other part is responsible for taking over the areas searched by the armed police force in a timely manner.
After the armed police and militia met, their respective responsibilities and tasks were quickly determined.
At the sound of the voice, all the soldiers of the mobile squadron carried guns, shields, and other equipment, lined up in a row, and entered the cornfield more than one person deep from the highway to search for the extremist criminals hiding in it.
The sun is scorching, and the dense cornfields are impermeable.
As the search progressed with a high degree of mental concentration, it didn't take long for the soldiers to sweat profusely and almost run out of breath.
And when you look up, the cornfield in front of you seems to be endless.
It was like falling into an ocean, and the feeling was very uncomfortable for them.
