Chapter 15: The Battle of Capture and Annihilation
Soon, we arrived at the makeshift assembly point and changed our vehicles, more than a dozen large and small vehicles, including troop carriers transporting us, various supply vehicles and ambulances, and two off-road vehicles to open the road. I didn't know anyone who was in the same car as us, but many of them were coming to the audition and training camp for the first time, so they seemed very excited, but I didn't know why, I couldn't get excited at all, but I was dazed and felt like I could fall asleep at any time.
"Squeak-" The car we were riding in suddenly braked, and everyone rushed forward, all huddled together, and squeezed me into a daze.
"Attention cars! Attention each car! All the crew get out of the car! All the crew get out of the car! "The order of the cadre leading the team came over the intercom.
We quickly got off the car and assembled, taking each car as a unit, and the men of each car gathered nearly a squadron of troops in front of and behind.
"Comrades!"
We all stood on our feet in unison.
"Please take a break." The leading cadre saluted us and said: "I will make a long story short because of the time constraints, I have just received a notice from my superiors that there are several criminals with guns on the run in the 702 area where we are now, and we are the nearest team, so we must search and arrest first, and it is very likely that there will be a hunt and annihilation battle." The leading cadre announced the situation to us with a serious face.
Whether it is a conscriptor or a non-commissioned officer in the queue, you look at me, I look at you, but the excitement on the faces of many people is getting stronger and stronger, even if I am gearing up and eager to try, yes, what does it mean to be a soldier standing guard every day, and a real gun to have a hunt and annihilate battle is really what I want.
At this time, the leading cadres probably also saw our excitement, and suddenly raised their voices: "However, since this time we are a selection camp, in addition to the guns you carry, we only have empty cartridges, and the accompanying supply vehicles do not carry live ammunition, so I do not require each of you to participate in this search, those who are willing to participate in the search will stand on my left hand side, and those who are willing to stay for closure and control will stand on my right hand side." You have a minute to think about it, and then you can finish thinking about it and line up on your own. ”
"Damn, do it alive, count it as dead, you don't have the guts to be a soldier, then be a ball, I'll go!"
"The prisoner's guns all have bullets, and ours only have empty cartridges, what is the difference between taking it out and using it like a burning stick, in case you encounter a bayonet fight with him?"
"! I don't believe that so many of us can't kill a few criminals! Lao Tzu go! ”
......
In just one minute, our people split into two parts, with the majority deciding to go to the manhunt and a very small number choosing to stay on lockdown and wait for ammunition and support.
"Okay, now that the personnel have been assigned, now I will order!" The cadres who led the team saw that they had been divided into two parts and began to give orders, "The search and arrest personnel will take twelve people as a team, and they will choose the team leader by themselves, and the closure and control personnel will be in groups of three to seal and control the surrounding roads." Check your weapons and equipment, head to the supply van to pick up your ammo, and set off in three minutes! ”
"Yes!"
Lao Feng and I are still in the same team, and there are more compulsory soldiers in my team, and Lao Feng's military age, position and rank are the highest, so naturally he has become the captain of our team. Under the leadership of Lao Feng, we moved towards the in-depth search of the 702 area.
Suddenly, Lao Feng raised his right hand, suddenly clenched into a fist and sank suddenly, everyone in our squad immediately squatted down, and Lao Feng used tactical sign language to signal that there was a change in the bushes in the direction of the front at one o'clock, three people outflanked from the left, three people outflanked from the right, and the rest of the people attacked with him. We gently pulled the handle and loaded the empty cartridge, thinking that although the empty cartridge was not very lethal, it could still hurt people at close range, and at worst, it could make a little noise, and it would also let the support know where we were.
So our squad divided into three parts, little by little quietly touched the front, but when we were halfway through, the bushes in the direction of one o'clock seemed to find us, a criminal armed with a pistol suddenly jumped up, fired two shots at us, we subconsciously lay down to dodge, and in this time interval, he suddenly ran away from a distance, and suddenly disappeared into the woods.
"Anyone is hurt!" Lao Feng immediately asked.
"Nope!" "Nope!" ...... "No! ”
"Chase!" When all the members of the squad reported that there were no casualties, Lao Feng ordered a pursuit. Then he reported our situation on the walkie-talkie: "Headquarters, our department has found a criminal with a gun, has opened fire on us, there are no casualties on our side, and we are now organizing a pursuit, over." ”
Just as we were in pursuit, we heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of three o'clock, listening to the sound of empty cartridges fired by our standard rifles, according to the previous plan of action, we are a centripetal search, so we will eventually surround this group of criminals in the center of the search area, so Lao Feng immediately ordered to continue the search.
The search advanced for about half an hour, and in the process of searching and concentrating with high mental and concentration of mental and attention, our physical exertion was huge, and sweat was dripping down our faces one by one, and our bodies were already soaked with sweat, but no one dared to relax their vigilance, and the previous triangular formation continued to search forward.
"Bang"! "Bang"!
Two more gunshots rang out, and then from our headsets came the reports of the other teams: "Command, we have an encounter with criminals, the other party is shooting at me with a gun, there are no casualties, request for support!" Complete! ”
After a few steps, the gunshots rang out one after another, listening to the report on the walkie-talkie, we knew that we had formed a small area of encirclement of this group of criminals, and now the enemy was only putting up a stubborn resistance. When our encirclement shrank smaller and smaller, we found a cave in front of us, and several teams also saw each other's figures, so they sent personnel to reconnoiter around the cave, and then reported the current situation on the walkie-talkie, and several teams surrounded the cave.
"Command, the three teams have reached fifteen meters to the left of the cave entrance and ask for instructions on the next step." Lao Feng asked the leading cadres on the walkie-talkie for the next step. Immediately after that, we heard the reports and requests of the other teams in the headset, except for their respective directions, everything else was the same, and they were all asking for instructions.
"Attention Squads! Attention Squads! Our support and ammunition have not yet arrived, each squad must make full use of the surrounding terrain and features, protect their own safety, in order to prevent the criminals from having other accomplices, each squad must capture this gang of criminals alive, and not let a single person go! ”
"A small team received!" "Second team received!" "Three squads received!" ...... Each squad replies in turn. In fact, it's also true, we only have empty cartridges, and the lethality of a range of five meters is not large, not to mention that it is now fifteen meters, and the opponent still has guns in his hand, it seems that a strong attack will definitely not work, and we can only outwit it.
Lao Feng raised a finger and turned around a few times above his head, and the people of our team immediately surrounded him, "Let's talk about it, if there is any way to catch this gang of bandits." "Everyone fell into deep thought, my brain was also racing, trying to recall the plots in various war movies, although it was said that TV was a lie, but we usually did not receive such a hunting and destroying combat training with no live ammunition and only empty cartridges, and the other party still had guns and bullets.
All of a sudden, I saw the detonation bombs and smoke bombs in the old hairy bullet bag, and I slapped my thigh, "Hey, there you have it!" Immediately, Lao Feng slammed a handful of "snaps" on my steel helmet, "You want to die, don't you!" ”
