Yu Songyuan said, "Team leader, simply, you can also come to Vientiane with us, so safe, I can rest assured!" ”

Yang Mingtao, the old man who supported the secret war in the Indochina Peninsula, stroked his gray short hair, sighed, and shook his head again.

"The country is in an eventful season, and my personal safety is nothing!"

Then, he gave a face-to-face lecture, "You must remember that at present in the Indochina Peninsula, it is our country's greatest national interest to drive the Annam garrison out of the Khmer as soon as possible. The border struggle, and all other struggles, must be waged around this purpose. At present, the border between Khmer and Siam is the only channel for the international community to support the people of Cambodia. I have to keep an eye on it, it's the big picture. ”

He took a sip of tea and said, "On Yongzhen's side, Xu Tianyi is a mature leading cadre who has been severely tested. You must resolutely obey her commands, and you must not be sloppy in the slightest. Siam's military post is the spy center of Indochina, and we can't lose this position! When you enter the Khmer, we will see you in the Gulf of Siam......"

Outside the cabin, Liu Guodong, Lin Zhumin and Lin Tao were explaining to Thomas, Lin Tao said, "Don't be impatient, you fought some battles." When we have cleaned up Annam, and then joined you in Siam, we will take revenge on the Great Snow Mountain and kill Uchida, an old dog. ”

Liu Guodong said, "In the near future, you will have a big war. I just have one request, make sure the team leader is safe! Thomas nodded in agreement, not daring to be the slightest ambiguous. When the "old virgin" saw that they reprimanded Thomas from time to time, Thomas was submissive, and glared at Lin Tao and Liu Guodong unconvinced.

Lin Zhumin was much gentler, he hugged Thomas and said, "Ruth and Anna, why didn't you bring them?" ”

"I missed them too, but the team leader and commander wouldn't let me take them with me, so I had to stay in Peshawar." You can rest assured that the zoo has someone to take care of them, and it will be fine. ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a van drove up to the river. This is the member of the support team who stayed here, and he came to greet him. Yang Mingtao and Thomas hugged everyone one by one and left in the car. The brothers, Long Ji, Lingyu, Zheng Shuwen and others stood on the shore and waved goodbye to them, only to see the car disappear into the distant Daolang.

In the car, the "old virgin" looked at Thomas dissatisfied, and the anger that she had endured for a few days finally broke out, "Thomas, why are you so afraid of them, and they still scold you, and they always threaten to beat you, which is simply to destroy the prestige of our team!" ”

When Yang Mingtao heard this, he shook his head slightly, smiled and said nothing.

Thomas still had tears in his eyes, and he was still immersed in the atmosphere of seeing him off, "You don't understand, you don't understand." They are not men, they are gods, they are great gods! They are God's messengers, my saviors Thomas. They are the God of Slaughter who has come to the world, who has come to punish the guilty......"

Next, Thomas recounted his two years of isolation on the snowy mountains, the legendary conquest of the "Plateau Wolf Resistance Group" under the leadership of Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong, and their tragic confrontation with Spessnaz and the "Vympel......

The "old virgin" and the committee boy were dumbfounded when they heard it, and their attitude towards the brothers' team also changed from unconvinced to admiration, sighing and yearning.

Thomas, who sent Yang Mingtao away, and the brothers team also participated in the ranks of loading sand. "Is there going to be an encounter? Does this sand work? Mei Xue also helped to place sandbags on the side of the boat, and asked Lingyu uneasily.

Lingyu is a virtuous woman, she glanced at the brothers on the shore who were sweating like rain and shoveling sand, "Girl, your man has a more accurate battlefield feeling than a fairy." What he asked him to do must make sense! ”

Zheng Shuwen is a "demon girl", she has super combat effectiveness when fighting, and she is also proficient in improving fortifications. Together with Liu Guodong, she drew figures along the sides of four large boats. And instructed the boatmen to stack the sandbags according to the pattern.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, according to the arrangement of Liu Guodong and Zheng Shuwen, the boatmen surrounded the sides of each big ship with sand and arranged in a circle. In some places, shooting bunkers were set up, constituting complete fortifications. Yu Songyuan checked it, "Guodong, in the main cabin, do you want to stack a layer of sandbags symmetrically?" ”

Yu Songyuan looked at the lively and cute little fruit, worried that the cabin would be pierced by bullets. Zheng Shuwen said, "Other cabins can't be stupid in wartime, this layer of iron can't block the M16 from shooting at close range, let alone machine gun bullets." But the main cabin of the four big ships is no problem, the iron sheets on both sides of them are double-layered, and the 5.56 caliber bullets can't help it, absolutely safe! ”

"Okay, Brother Long, order all the boatmen not to hide below deck during the battle, and must hide behind sandbags or in bunkers." Lin Tao ordered.

It's almost five o'clock to do a good job in the defense configuration. According to Yu Songyuan's proposal, the fleet had dinner early, and then the starry night and accelerated towards Vientiane.

Originally, in the early 80s, in the Mekong River, not many merchants dared to sail at night, especially cargo merchant ships. Passenger traffic on the Mekong River is relatively safer than freight, and the passenger traffic is basically iron-hulled small steamers, all of which are operated by large companies or even the government.

The same is true for this type of cargo wooden boats, most of which are privately or tribal operated. Water bandits and bandits from all over the river are most fond of robbing cargo wooden boats. As a result, it was once one of the most unsafe inland waterways in the world. Even during the day, wooden-hulled cargo ships were often hijacked and robbed, and it was not until the late 80s and early 90s, as the societies of the Indochina Peninsula gradually stabilized, that navigation on the Mekong River was relatively safe.

Of course, that's all a few years from now.

Although it is the dry season, this section of the Mekong River is two or three hundred meters long, the current is rapid, the water depth is rapid, and there are sand islands in the middle of the river from time to time, and there are many shoals, so it is more risky to navigate at night. However, due to the presence of four of them and the "witch" Zheng Shuwen on the boat, the boatmen sailed in shifts, and none of them were timid.

Armed shipwrights did not need to drive the ship, Lao Zhou was not there, and Long Ji personally served as the commander. He lined up the armed boatmen, keeping a dozen men on each boat at the same time with guns. It's no wonder that people are bolder, and there are fewer bandits.

"These sandbags are white, and the empty ship is like a heavy load, and the speed is half as slow!" The bandits did not appear as expected, and complaints began to rise one after another, quietly circulating among the ranks.

But a few members of the brother team were unmoved. The quieter the river, the stronger the uneasiness of Yu Songyuan and the others. In every place where the reeds are dense, they must order a guard to pass, without the slightest carelessness.

Zheng Shuwen took off his beautiful small skirt, changed into a set of M Army jungle combat uniforms, and put on high-waisted military boots on his feet. She carried an M16A1 with a scope in her hand, a spare magazine in her pocket, four grenades on her shoulder, and a large telescope in her hand, nervously observing her surroundings.

"Sister, will they really come to fight?" Sugi asked. Lingyu and the girls were skeptical, and Little Fruit rushed up from time to time to snatch the binoculars in her hand.

"Little girls, don't be careless, prepare for the rescue, the big battle is just around the corner!" Zheng Shuwen lay behind the bunker and said without looking back.

Lingyu, Mei Xue and others were all frightened by her, and hurriedly changed into military uniforms and prepared medicines and ambulance equipment.

Sailing in the Mekong without the harassment of bandits, sailing becomes poetic. Especially during the day, the speed of the big boat is very fast, the green mountains in the distance are like daisies, and the rice Lang that cannot be seen on both sides of the big river is like waves rolling. The voyage of the fleet turned into a pleasant trip, and the big ships cut through the waves and sailed upstream. After a tense pause, the situation did not appear, and the four girls, Lingyu and Xiaoguo, sat on the side of the boat, and from time to time there were happy laughter.

During the day, the brothers and Zheng Shuwen fainted in the morning, and they usually slept after eating. At night, they become vigilant and take turns keeping watch behind bunkers. During the day, when they couldn't sleep, or were woken up by small fruits, everyone had fun on their own.

On both sides of the Mekong River, every afternoon, many Lancang or Siamese women bathe by the river. Many children and adult men also play in the river, enjoying the joy that the river has bestowed upon them.

The women of the villages along the river covered their bodies with sharon in the river and slowly walked into the deep water, where the sharon was coiled up little by little, and the last place was placed on top of their heads. It will not get wet and can provide shade. They washed as much as they could, and after washing, they slowly walked to the shallow water on the shore, and then lowered the saloon little by little, covering their bodies at the most rear. From beginning to end, in one go, it will never go away.

When you go to the shallow water, you start washing your clothes, and when you finish washing, you go ashore and change into clean clothes. And directly spread the washed clothes on the reeds and thatch by the river or directly on the sand by the river to dry.

Due to the relatively calm return journey, Yu Songyuan and his team often used binoculars to secretly watch the women bathing by the river when everyone was not paying attention. This keeps them entertained, eye-opening, and adds to the fun of the boring voyage. Their telescopes are telescopic, allowing them to be pulled directly in front of them with a lens, and they can even see many wonderful moments of surprise.

And when someone comes, they put it away as if nothing happened. It's a bit vulgar, but it's a way to pass the boring voyage, and no one in the whole fleet discovers their secrets. Mei Xue and her princesses are not deeply involved in the world, and within two days of getting on the ship, they completely became the sworn friends of Lingyu and Zheng Shuwen. Surrounded by the two of them all day, chattering endlessly. But Lingyu and Zheng Shuwen inadvertently grabbed an "current".

One day after lunch, Lingyu, Zheng Shuwen and the four girls were taking a nap with Xiaoguo, Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong were playing Go, Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin were relatively bored, so they used binoculars to discover a new "situation".

It turned out that next to a dense reed, two Lancang women who had finished washing their clothes, walked behind the reeds, lifted the fiery red salon, and squatted with their fat buttocks. When he was done, he stood up, put down the saloon, and walked to the laundry place, where he laid the washed clothes one by one on the grass by the river to dry.
