Chapter 5: Is it easy?
"But you can't stop eating the fat in your mouth, right?" The drug dealer groaned softly, and then said, "Well, let's not kill them, I want all their weapons and equipment!" ”
The mercenary squad leader shook his head and said, "Our task is to be responsible for sending you two out of the Celestial Empire safely, there is no need to provoke the soldiers of the Celestial Empire. ”
The drug dealer shouted with some annoyance: "If you don't even agree to this, then let's terminate the contract!" ”
The leader of the mercenary squad was also very annoyed, and just as he wanted to speak, a person behind him said: "I am very interested in these Celestial Empire soldiers, and it is okay to have fun." ”
The person who spoke had a scar on his face near the corner of his eye, was in his early thirties, and was wearing clothes that were no different from those of other mercenaries, but there was an aura from head to toe that showed that he did not belong to this mercenary team.
The squad leader was very taboo about the scar man, and as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he immediately changed his attitude and said to the drug dealers: "We only seize their weapons and equipment, and try not to hurt people." ”
"No problem." The drug dealer smiled.
The mercenary squad leader glared at the drug dealer and said, "Although we met only the most ordinary soldiers of the Celestial Empire, the special forces of the Celestial Empire are by no means easy to mess with, do you think we can leave the Celestial Empire alive if we kill these people?" ”
Early in the morning of the fifth day, Zhao Guoqing and his party advanced according to the predetermined route and maintained the previous formation.
Feng Xiaolong walked in the front, followed by a veteran, in the middle was Zhao Guoqing and the four recruits of the first class, and at the back were the deputy squad leader and Wu Manman.
Such a formation was the most advantageous to protect the recruits, and at the same time, Feng Xiaolong, who was at the forefront, acted as a guide and spearhead.
As soon as he walked out for an hour, Feng Xiaolong, who was at the front, suddenly stopped and made a hidden hand gesture.
The soldiers quickly found the landlord and hid, keeping an eye on Feng Xiaolong's every move while guarding the surroundings.
There were traces of fire five meters away, and although it had been treated, there was still a faint smell of fireworks in the air.
After making sure that there was no one around, Feng Xiaolong stepped forward and pulled a few times with a wooden stick in the place where the fire had been burned, and two cigarette butts were pulled out, and the markings on them showed that they were produced abroad.
Drug dealer!
Based on experience, Feng Xiaolong quickly determined this, and was sure that the drug dealer had just left here not long ago, and it was very close to them.
Feng Xiaolong gathered the people together again, and after telling his discoveries and inferences, he said, "Now the number and location of the enemy are unknown, our task now is to find them in the shortest possible time, and if we have the ability, we must capture them!" ”
"Yes." Everyone responded in as low a voice as possible, excited and nervous about this encounter with drug dealers.
Under the leadership of squad leader Feng Xiaolong, everyone began to search for the whereabouts of the drug dealers, and advanced in a formation of veterans in front and recruits behind, and Zhao Guoqing, who did not have any weapons in his hands, was specially taken care of and arranged at the back of the team.
Cigarette butts, carton footprints, broken branches, etc., one clue after another confirms that the direction everyone is looking for is correct.
At the beginning, Zhao Guoqing was as excited as everyone else, wanting to perform in this mission, but after a long time, he felt that something was wrong.
The footprints of cigarette butts and broken branches, these traces seem to have been inadvertently left by the enemy, but Zhao Guoqing feels that there is something greasy in them, they are more like bait deliberately left.
Zhao Guoqing was born in the military world, although his body is weaker than ordinary people, but he has also learned military common sense. In addition, Zhao Guoqing has a very good brother, and whenever his brother goes home to visit relatives, his favorite thing to play with his brother is a battle game. Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Guoqing to win his brother Zhao Aiguo, but he has learned a lot from Zhao Aiguo, such as trapping and anti-trapping.
The team stopped, and the squad leader Feng Xiaolong felt that he was already very close to the enemy, so he sent the deputy squad leader and Wu Manman to the front to reconnoiter first for the sake of safety.
Zhao Guoqing took this opportunity to come to Feng Xiaolong's side and whispered, "Squad Leader Feng, I feel that something is wrong. ”
"What's wrong?" Feng Xiaolong asked.
Zhao Guoqing expressed his opinion, and finally said affirmatively: "I am very sure that this is a trap set up for us by the enemy, so let's call for reinforcements for safety." ”
Feng Xiaolong didn't immediately express his stance after listening to Zhao Guoqing's words, he had also considered calling for reinforcements, but it took them more than four days to come here, and it would take a day and a night for reinforcements to come at the earliest, let alone drug dealers, I am afraid that they would not even be able to see the shadow of the enemy.
The veterans were better, and when the recruits heard Zhao Guoqing say that this might be a trap, they looked nervous, after all, they had only been soldiers for a few months, and their psychological quality could not be compared with that of veterans at all.
Soon the deputy squad leader and Wu Manman, who went to reconnoitre, rushed back, both of them were happy, and they didn't know what Zhao Guoqing had just said about the trap theory.
"What did you find?" Feng Xiaolong asked.
Wu Manman spoke first: "Squad leader, you are really clever, the enemy is indeed very close to us, just in the ravine in front. He grinned, and continued, "They didn't know we had found them, and they were roasting free meat there to eat." ”
Feng Xiaolong smelled the smell of fireworks wafting in the air that made everyone stop, and after determining that the target was in front, he asked, "How many enemies are there?" ”
"Two." The deputy squad leader replied affirmatively.
"Where's the weapon?" Feng Xiaolong then asked.
The deputy squad leader replied: "What can be seen are two mountain knives and two earthen cannons. ”
Earthen guns refer to ancient shotguns and illegally manufactured earthen guns, which are far from being comparable to the regular weapons used by soldiers in terms of shooting performance and power.
Feng Xiaolong had already made a decision in his heart after learning about the enemy's location, number and weapons and equipment, and immediately divided the team into two squads, one of which was left by the deputy squad leader, and then gave an order: "Deputy squad leader, you take someone to find a way to go around behind the enemy, I will lead the team to copy in front, and these two guys must not be allowed to escape!" ”
"Yes." The deputy squad leader responded.
"Remember, the enemy has a weapon in his hand, and if the opponent resists, he can directly kill the opponent!" Feng Xiaolong added.
"Yes." The deputy squad leader replied again.
Zhao Guoqing Feng Xiaolong insisted on going over, and hurriedly stopped and said, "Squad Leader Feng, if you think about it again, this may be a trap." ”
Feng Xiaolong didn't speak, but Wu Manman spoke pointedly. "I said, if you're afraid, stay here, and no one will force you to follow us. What kind of trap is not trapped? Don't forget that we are soldiers, and it is our responsibility to defend our home and country, so are you watching the enemy run away with you right in front of us? ”
"I didn't mean that, I" Zhao Guoqing just opened his mouth but was interrupted by Feng Xiaolong.
"Clerical, you don't have a weapon on you, don't participate in this operation, stay here." Feng Xiaolong said, thinking that Zhao Guoqing was also trapping because he was afraid, and after speaking, he instructed the others, "Everyone act." ”
Zhao Guoqing saw that no one listened to him, so he stepped forward and grabbed Li Shicheng, and whispered: "Do you remember what I told you before?" The most important thing is to be alive, and when you die, there is nothing. ”
Li Shicheng nodded, in fact, he didn't fully understand the meaning of what Zhao Guoqing said.
"Find a way to survive in advance when you encounter something." Zhao Guoqing preached.
This time, Li Shicheng understood, nodded vigorously, he was very obedient to Zhao Guoqing's words, which stemmed from his trust in Zhao Guoqing.
"Clerk, stay here and don't go anywhere, wait for us to come back." After Feng Xiaolong finished speaking, he took the people away.
After everyone left, Zhao Guoqing did not obey the order to stay where he was, but quietly took out the three flying knives hidden on his body and followed him, with only one thought in his heart. "If this is a trap, I'll be the only one who can save everyone."
The two drug dealers were typical Vietnamese, who did not seem to know that they had been found and blocked in a ravine, munching on the meat with relish, and the mountain knives and earthen cannons were casually thrown around by them, without any alertness.
The deputy squad leader was already in place, and he made a gesture with the squad leader Feng Xiaolong in the air.
Feng Xiaolong nodded his head, waved his hand lightly, and then rushed out with the centaurs.
"Don't move!" Feng Xiaolong shouted violently.
The drug dealer who was gnawing on the free meat was so suddenly affected by the accident, and he didn't bother to take the weapon when he dropped the free meat in his hand, so he turned around and ran towards the other side.
"Hands up, or I'll shoot!" The deputy squad leader and his people appeared at the right time to block the way of the drug dealers.
The two drug dealers were stunned and immediately raised their hands in surrender.
It's done?
It's as simple as that?
Everyone was very excited, no one expected it to be so simple, they didn't even have a chance to shoot, the drug dealer directly raised his hand and surrendered!
It's too easy, right?
Is it easy?
There was one person who didn't think so, and that was Zhao Guoqing, who was hiding outside the ravine, and who was frosty all the time, and was very sure that it was a trap, and all the members of the squad had fallen into the enemy's trap.
Almost no one noticed that the two drug dealers had their hands raised, but there was no trace of panic on their faces, but instead they were smiling at the soldiers who pointed their guns at them.
Just when Feng Xiaolong and the others surrounded the two drug dealers, Zhao Guoqing found that some figures quietly jumped out of the cracks in the trees and grass around the ravine, forming a counter-encirclement of Feng Xiaolong and the others at an alarming speed, sealing the entrance and exit of the ravine in the blink of an eye, and occupying almost all the favorable terrain.
Mercenary!
Zhao Guoqing deduced their identities from the equipment of these people, and was secretly surprised that the drug dealer and the mercenary appeared here at the same time, indicating that the two drug dealers were by no means ordinary drug dealers
