Section IV
Of course, Bai Jiansheng and the squad did not come to liberate the old fort, this was the business of the main force, and they only had to capture Chen Bing and Chen Tianlei, the two bandit leaders. Therefore, since the battle of Laobao began, Bai Jiansheng and his team members have been staring at Chen Bing and Chen Tianlei, they have been looking for them all the way, interrogating them all the way, asking residents when they see them, and interrogating them when they see prisoners, but they still haven't found any clues about Chen Bing and Chen Tianlei. In this way, Bai Jiansheng and Zheng Haiguo couldn't help but be a little anxious, and decided to disperse the Flying Tigers, and a few Flying Tigers took a squad of PLA soldiers to carry out a carpet search.
Zheng Tuo and several team members, with more than a dozen PLA soldiers, searched all the way north along North Street......
On the streets, from time to time, there are PLA soldiers escorting prisoners past them, and as long as Zheng Tuo and his team members find prisoners who look like Chen Tianlei and Chen Bing, they must call them over and take a good look; As long as they see Chen Tianlei, Chen Bing and others, they will definitely inform the People's Liberation Army, because they are fed up with the extortion and oppression of bandits on weekdays, especially Chen Bing, who often blackmails the girls in the town, and the people hate him.
"Fellow, have you seen the bandit leaders Chen Bing and Chen Tianlei? Know where they went? Zheng Tuo saw that an uncle was cleaning up the storefront on the side of the road, so he stepped forward and asked.
The uncle raised his head, glanced at Zheng Tuo, and then looked at the People's Liberation Army following behind him, and said angrily: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, are you asking me?" Ask me, where is that wild boy Chen Bing? I still want to ask you? That scoundrel and villain, who came to the store all day long to ask for money, robbed things without money, and caused me to fail to do business, and I also fell in love with my sister, and robbed people, until now I don't know whether it is dead or alive, if this wild boy falls into my hands, I must have picked his skin! Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, you must look for it carefully, don't let this wild boy escape, if he runs away, I don't know what use your People's Liberation Army has in taking down this old fort town? As for that Chen Tianlei, I have heard that he is Chen Bing's uncle, and it is rare to see him come out, and we have never seen what he looks like? You'll have to find it yourself, and we can't help much. After saying that, the uncle buried his head in his business and no longer paid attention to Zheng Tuo and them.
Zheng Tuo felt that the fellow villagers had an opinion about their failure to catch the bandit leader Chen Bing, so he arched his hand embarrassedly and said, "Thank you!" Hurriedly took people away to look for other places, but they didn't expect the uncle to throw a sentence behind them: "If you can't catch Chen Bing's wild boy, you shouldn't call the People's Liberation Army, it's useless, you can't even catch a villain, do you want to let this kind of person continue to plague the people?" ”
The uncle: "Phew! A mouthful of spit, obviously not believing in the PLA's ability to suppress bandits.
Oh, yes! How many years has this Chen Bing endangered the people in Nanliang? Even if the People's Liberation Army and the government come, isn't this Chen Bing still rampant for a while? What the common people want is real liberation and real mastery, not being bullied by bandits for two days. Zheng Tuo felt that his responsibility was heavier, and vowed to catch Chen Bing and Chen Tianlei, and really do it for the people!
searched all the way to the end of North Street, but still couldn't find any trace of Chen Bing and Chen Tianlei, where did they go? Did you really escape from the Old Castle? Thinking of this result, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but sigh.
Just as Zheng Tuo's search was fruitless and he was about to go back, he saw a few people busy working in a shop near the end of the street, and planned to ask again to see if he could find some clues in the end.
A team member said: "Deputy team leader, I didn't find any problems all the way over, Chen Bing ran out from the town, if you want to see it, the people in front have seen it, it can't just be seen by the family in the back, I think it's also in vain." ”
The team member's words were unreasonable, but it was like this, Zheng Tuo, who was halfway there, suddenly lost interest, simply didn't leave, waved his hand and turned around to leave, but at the moment he turned around, he saw that the hands of those people were put down together......
Zheng Tuo still took the people away, and those people continued to work. After walking more than ten steps, Zheng Tuo suddenly slowed down, and the casual action of those people just now appeared in his mind, what does this unanimous action mean? Zheng Tuo's footsteps finally stopped, the expression on his face became more and more serious, and the comrades realized something, holding a gun, standing motionless in place, beads of sweat on their faces, and their expressions were blank, like a living sculpture......
"Turn back!" I saw Zheng Tuo turn around, and the shell gun had already been taken out of the holster, aimed at those people, and pulled the trigger...... The others turned around almost at the same time, holding their guns and pulling the trigger as they took aim and moved forward......
......A burst of gunfire rang out, and the people on both sides were shooting at each other face to face, and no one had time to retreat, let alone retreat.
The men and horses on both sides were fired at each other like this, one, two, and one after another were shot and fell to the ground, but no one dodged or retreated......
When Zheng Tuo rushed in front of those few people, there were only four or five people left around him. Only one of the shopkeepers was still holding on to the table, standing there with difficulty, and the others fell to the ground and did not move.
The old man who was barely standing on the table coughed dryly twice, looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's only one step away!" Chen walked away! Isn't this the death of someone in God? ......Before the words fell, the gun was raised, but this "Chen someone" was not allowed to pull the trigger again, Zheng Tuo and the soldiers around him opened fire almost at the same time, and a burst of bullets hit the man, and the old man's body was stiffened, and he fell to the ground and died.
Zheng Tuo walked into the old man and turned his head around, this time everyone finally saw clearly, although this person was not the bandit leader Chen Bing, but Chen Bing's uncle - Chen Tianlei, known as the commander of the Guizhong Military and Political Region and the commander of the 128th Army of the Anti-Gong National Salvation Army.
Scold! This is a real big fish! and Guo Lian is a big fish of the same level!
"Oh! Killed the bandit leader Chen Tianlei! I don't know when, Zheng Tuo's side has been surrounded by a group of PLA soldiers and local people, it turned out that they heard the sound of gunfire here, and hurried over to reinforce, only to find that the bandit who was killed was actually Chen Tianlei, who had been searching for most of the day, and couldn't help cheering loudly.
"You are truly God! We've walked this street several times and we didn't recognize him, how did you do that? The surrounding PLA soldiers extended their thumbs to Zheng Tuo. Together with Zheng Tuo, the remaining comrades also looked at Zheng Tuo with approving eyes.
"Ask the leader of the Flying Tigers, he found Chen Tianlei first." A PLA soldier with Zheng Tuo introduced.
"Tell me, chief? Let us also open our eyes and learn to learn! In the future, we will make great contributions to the suppression of bandits, comrades! You say, don't you? ”
"Say one, chief? Just give us a lesson! Would you like to tell us a story about the battle? ”
"Good!" Everyone applauded enthusiastically.
