Chapter 53: Jianliao Village in Distress
Walking through the endless, cascading mountains of 10,000 mountains, the mountains are sometimes extremely steep, but the scenery along the way is breathtaking.
The tense march and the steep mountain roads have become another kind of beauty. The mountains are heavy, and its magnificent scenery is like a kaleidoscope of displays. Especially when the convoy drove to the riverside and the mountain stream section, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the reeds were golden and red in the sun, beckoning to the convoy, and the wonderful scenery was full of poetry and picturesqueness.
The convoy passed the shift and soon entered the Saisongben area.
When passing through Huameng County, the thatched houses of Miao Village along the way are low, and the thatched houses of Jiliao and pig houses are connected with the thatched houses where people live, and they are poor. Adults are not clothed, and both men and women are generally barefoot or wearing a pair of slippers. Even eleven or twelve-year-old little girls, many of them are bare-chested and barefoot, wearing only shabby tops.
From time to time, from time to time, there were soldiers or armed men, wearing green military uniforms and rifles on their shoulders, swaggering past the roadside. Soon after the end of the war, armed activities were frequent, and the Annam garrison, the Lancang army or the armed personnel were all wearing the same military uniform, which was difficult to distinguish.
The dilapidated villages and poor people made Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao feel breathless, and they both had an indescribable taste in their hearts. Historically, the Miao people gradually migrated south from the Yellow River Valley in the Central Plains of China. A history of Miao migration is a history of hardships and bitter blood and tears of millions of Miao people, which is sad.
After about twenty or thirty kilometers of Huameng County, the convoy entered a steep section called Jianliao Village. It had just rained lightly, it was overcast, and the road was muddy on both sides.
The sand road passes under a hill that has been broken due to a collapse in the mountain road ahead. The convoy had to stop on narrow and congested mountain roads, unable to advance or retreat. The hill on the left, with its dense forests, is a good place for ambushes. On the right, there is a mountain stream more than ten meters deep, and when you look down from the car, the red water in it is gurgling.
"Except for the team, the rest of the personnel, don't get out of the car for the time being!"
Yu Songyuan spread out the march map, and there was no article on the map, so he jumped out of the car, walked to the side of the road, and looked at the terrain on the ground. It was still noon, and the sky was as cloudy as the bottom of a pot. A wet breeze blew, and Yu Songyuan shivered unnaturally. Seeing the sight in front of him made him gasp.
On both sides of the mountain stream, there are dwarf trees or shrubs, during which large rocks are exposed. At the bottom of the mountain stream is a stream. But to his secret horror, the stream was red, like blood flowing on the ground of a slaughterhouse......
The water in the stream here is red, what kind of water will be red? Yu Songyuan was puzzled.
"Be on high alert and strictly prevent someone in the forest on the left from sneaking up on the convoy!"
As Lin Zhumin broke off, he and Liu Guodong had already commanded the armed soldiers of the lead car and the guard car to set up a cordon. Two machine guns and all the M16 muzzles were tightly sealed on the edge of the jungle a dozen meters to the left of the road.
Lin Tao, Long Ji, and Zheng Shuwen walked to Yu Songyuan's side together, "Ghost, I feel weird here, someone is spying on us!" Lin Tao whispered his feelings, and asked Long Ji again, "Strange, what is the water in this section of the mountain stream?" ”
"It's not water, it's blood!"
"Blood?! Where did you get so much blood?! Lin Tao asked in shock.
"Yes, it's blood, many, many, many blood! A few years ago, it was a battlefield, and the Miao special forces and the Annam Army fought a big battle here, and many people died......," Long Ji explained.
According to Longji, it was once the southern border guerrilla area of Dali in history, and there were generals stationed here.
It is also the only way for Sangnu to lead to the capital of Blang Labang, before the highway is built, the terrain is steep, and one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. In all dynasties, there have been bandits here, killing people and stealing goods, kidnapping tickets for extortion. In the forests on both sides of the mountain stream, there are countless souls and bones.
In August 1964, a main battalion of the North Vietnamese Army set out from Sang Nu, and on a rainy day, intending to pass by Jianliao Village, secretly attacked Long Town. As a result, Wang Bao's regiment was ambushed here. There were more than 200 North Vietnamese troops, and none of them escaped the net, and the wounded soldiers were bloodily assassinated. At that time, the Jianliao village had simply become a slaughterhouse, with blood flowing everywhere and corpses everywhere.
Since then, the area around Jianliao Village has been weird. Most of the time the water is green, but sometimes it is red. Especially in rainy weather, there will be occasional windy gusts and the water is terrifyingly red. Locals say that the dead will appear and rob the road, and it is generally a group of people who dare to pass through here.
Yu Songyuan had already sensed the danger, and he turned around and looked at the hill on the left side of the road. I saw that the mountain was not high, only a few hundred meters. But the forest is dense, and if a sniper rifle sets up a sniper position in the treetops of the hilltops, the convoy will have to pay a heavy price!
"No one is allowed to get out of the car without an order, and the ghost hand quickly checked the collapse situation ahead and prepared to repair it!"
Yu Songyuan led Lin Sanren to the convoy and ordered. Liu Guodong led several tribal warriors into a search formation and quickly moved forward.
"Big sister is in the car, we can't take a little risk! This place is vulnerable, and if the road ahead is temporarily impassable, should we consider reversing back and waiting for the road to be repaired before moving forward? ”
Long Ji is the big leader, Xu Tianyi was in the car, he looked at the gray jungle on the mountain, and asked anxiously.
"Cut! If such a large convoy reverses en masse, the road is so muddy, it is both dangerous and vulnerable. As a last resort, we would rather stick to the spot than reverse, that is self-chaos! ”
Yu Song was far from answering, and Lin Tao took a sip and categorically rejected Long Ji's suggestion.
Long Ji had always been afraid of Lin Tao, he stopped talking, and the four of them walked to Xu Tianyi's command car together. At this time, Liu Guodong came back with a few tribal warriors to the front to check and also came over.
"Although it is also possible that the collapse was caused by the rain, it is estimated that it will take eight to 10 hours to repair it. However, the surface of the mountain here has a thick layer of soil, dense forests and vegetation, and there is no possibility of natural landslides at all. I judge that it is an unnatural landslide, someone is using the terrain to create a landslide, and we are already in danger! ”
After Liu Guodong finished speaking with a grim face, everyone was shocked, they would come whatever they were afraid of, and they should come, or come!
"Brother Long, have the convoys been attacked here in normal times?"
Zheng Shuwen looked at Xu Tianyi's inquiring gaze in the car and asked calmly.
"This highway was built by Chinese engineers a few years ago. The road was not completely repaired, and the Chinese engineers withdrew to the country. There are several Miao armed forces in the jungle here, and since then they have often come to attack trucks and buses on the transportation line. Every time our tribal convoy passes through here, we have to arrange for armed escorts, and almost every time we are attacked sporadically. ”
When Yu Songyuan heard this, he glanced at Lin Tao, Liu Guodong, and Zheng Shuwen, and instantly made up his mind. All three nodded silently, agreeing with his decision. Since even the passing caravan was attacked, it was no longer *** armed, but a group of bandits.
But are the bandits capable of blowing up mud cliffs?
Shortly after Lancang came out of the war, the people of country M funded Wang Bao's "special forces" and airlifted 40 tons of war materials every day. After the war, a large number of arms were scattered among the people. When these remnants used some of the explosives they had gathered or stolen, they blew up the cliff tops, lifted down the mud and rocks, and caused a landslide when the slopes were loose after the rain, and there was no difficulty at all.
But the terrain here is too unfavorable for defense. After a closer look, there really is no better way. The only way is to establish a security defense line on the mountain, cover the road on the road, and protect the safety of the convoy and the women first. At this time, you can only advance, not retreat.
Once you show weakness and let a group of habitual bandits chase and beat your ass, the dignified brother squad will be decaying. If you don't say anything else, this person can't afford to lose it!
"Eldest sister, we are blocked, the terrain is unfavorable, we can only fight over!"
Determined to make up his mind, Yu Songyuan reported the situation to Xu Tianyi, and said the most recently.
The terrain here, Xu Tianyi has already seen in his eyes. As one of the leaders of the South Asian secret war, she has seen a more dire situation. She thought for a moment, nodded, and said calmly with a smile:
"There are so many people who are worried about us, but with the five of you killing gods here, do you still need our women to be nervous? Team Yu is fully responsible, command the squad and armed soldiers, and fight hard! It is necessary to find out the enemy's situation first and report it in a timely manner. If the situation is serious, I will protect Longji and Yingya and retreat to Huameng County on foot. Be careful, no matter what happens, Longji and Yingya can't go wrong at all! She first said that she was a woman, and then she didn't say Xiaoyu, but called her Yu team in a formal manner.
Hearing this, Long Ji said nervously, "Eldest sister, your safety is more important......
Xu Tianyi waved his hand and didn't let him continue. She made a gesture very casually, and Lin Tao and Liu Guodong walked to the off-road vehicle in front, blocked the direction of the dense forest on the left with their bodies, and escorted Yingya to Xu Tianyi's car.
Yu Songyuan looked at his watch and said, "It's eleven o'clock in the morning." The convoy stopped here, leaving a squad to be responsible for the safety of the convoy, focusing on guarding against the road in the direction of Huameng in the rear. Brother Long was responsible for organizing the rest of the clan warriors, carrying weapons and starting to clean up and repair the passages. Be sure to bring guns to work, and in the event of a battle later, you must support ...... at any time."
"Let me go up the mountain with you to fight?!" Long Ji said reluctantly.
"Longji, the situation is urgent, no more fighting! You're the big leader, you and Yingya are the core of the clan, and nothing can happen to you! Xu Tianyi said softly decisively.
"Please pay attention to Brother Long, after the road is repaired at night, don't wait for us, we must quickly march towards Sangnu, and ensure the safety of Sister Xu and Yingya's group! Our team of five is responsible for setting up a security line on the hill on the left tonight, covering road repairs and driving safety, and taking out this gang of habitual bandits with cameras. Tomorrow morning, before dawn, we will meet you at the front pass. Each group should keep the walkie-talkie open and keep in touch at any time! ”
