Chapter 44: Rushing to Anzhou
Knowing that it was the noble princess of the Long Dai tribe who entertained them, Ruan Van Anh was so shocked that her legs weakened, and she took her sisters to put down the bear meat in their hands, and knelt down together and pleaded, "We are all deserters, and Annan can't tolerate us. We have volunteered to join the Dragon Dai clan and ask the princesses to take us in! β
The four princesses hurriedly returned the salute, and Mei Xue said generously, "I officially accept you to join our clan." From this day forward, you must be loyal to your clan! The reason why the Long Dai tribe remains undefeated and continues to grow stronger in the Lancang tribal strife is because we are all loyal to the clan. There is zero tolerance for betrayers, clans! β
"We are absolutely loyal to the Dragon Dai clan. If there is any betrayal, be punished severely! Nguyen Van Anh took the lead and said, and the other female soldiers also repeated it. Sure enough, he was a soldier and well-trained.
"We have no alcohol in this temporary camp, today we are replacing wine with water, congratulations on your official joining the tribe!" After Mei Xue finished speaking, everyone held a bamboo tube to drink water.
After the etiquette was over, Yu Quanjun also introduced his women to everyone. It turned out that Nguyen Van Anh was a lieutenant, and the other female soldiers were soldiers.
Ruan Wenying looked at the big bear skin hanging on the bamboo pole and gasped, "This big bear, is it you who caught it?" β
Mei Xue said with a smile, "How about it, these four men are amazing!" β
"This dog is so beautiful, this is a dog...... Is it? Wow, this is a wolf, right? Ruan Wenying wanted to reach out and touch the concubine, but quickly retracted her hand and asked in surprise.
Mei Xue smiled, "This is a she-wolf, called Concubine ......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Yu Songyuan and others start to pack their backpacks and equipment, and she was a little panicked, so she asked in surprise, "Do you want to go back overnight?" β
"No, you're waiting for us here!"
Lin Tao summoned all the people together under the surprised gaze of Mei Xue and several princesses, "We still have a task." Now I appoint this camp as our forward base, and Mei Xue is the head of the camp. Yu is in charge of the military affairs of the whole army, and he must ensure the safety of the princesses and their two children! β
"You're going to leave us now? No, let's go too! Mei Xue took the lead in the "rebellion", and the three princesses also made a noise, saying, "Don't be a deserter!" β
"Have you forgotten the discipline announced at the time of departure? Disobey orders on the battlefield, and there is no forgiveness for killing......" Lin Tao glared, and also frightened with a dark face.
"Cut!" The princesses were not afraid at all, Su Ji took a sip, but everyone still didn't squeak. Yu Quanjun said, "Although I don't know what the mission is, I promise that until you return to this base, this place will be absolutely safe!" Please also believe me, princesses, we are not ambiguous in war! β
Yu Songyuan couldn't help laughing in his heart, and said to the whole army seriously, "Another task for you, from the time we leave, no matter day or night, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, the bonfire here cannot be stopped!" β
Yu Quanjun had a question mark written on his face, but he still said, "Don't worry, it's on me!" β
The team said goodbye to everyone, and in the tearful eyes of the princesses, they set off. They did not follow the path of the women's army of the whole army, but chose to go directly through the Changshan Mountain Range. The mountains are high and densely forested, but it is the closest road to Anzhou. As long as you go out of the mountain range and cross a small river at the bottom of the mountain, the distance in a straight line is only sixty or seventy kilometers.
"Ghost, why do you have to light a campfire during the day? I don't understand, popularize science! Lin Tao asked.
Yu Songyuan didn't know how to answer, so he had to say, "Let him have a little thought!" β
By noon the next day, the team had crossed the border and crossed the creek to the bottom of a broken wall. Looking down from the mountains, Anzhou, a small city in the mountains dozens of kilometers away from the border, is quiet and peaceful in the basin under the mountain.
Yu Songyuan ordered to camp on the spot, and Liu Guodong found a very hidden small cave in the middle of the broken wall to make a camp. A few large pine trees completely block the entrance to the cave, and it is difficult to find it from the understory, which is very safe. Liu Guodong made three defenses in the forest under the broken wall, and then everyone climbed into the cave.
Even if there is a siege, it can only come down from the mountain. Once the defense mine explodes, they can quickly escape into the mountains with the help of large trees. The cave is only bird droppings, and it is very dry, making it ideal for group camping. They didn't make a fire, they simply ate jerky and corn tortillas, and drank a meal of mountain spring water in a bamboo tube.
When night came, the vibration of the watch woke everyone up. Everyone packed up their sleeping bags and headed for Anzhou after dinner. An hour later, we entered the county seat of Anzhou. There are very few street lights in the small town in the mountains, like a large village. There was no one on the street, and occasionally someone passed by slowly and greeted the team in a friendly manner.
Unlike other small cities in Anbei, this small city has a long history and is relatively prosperous because it guards the main transportation route to Sangnu. The edge of the town is all dilapidated stilted buildings or thatched huts, with occasional one or two low tiled houses. In the center of the small town, there are old tiled houses one by one. It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and all the shops were closed.
Along the way, Yu Songyuan popped out the pebbles in his hand from time to time, and the street lamps shattered one by one.
They walked the streets of the small town in such a big way, and slowly came to Ho Chi Minh Road. The houses on both sides are tall, with tall plane trees on both sides of the road, and the road is wider. In the distance, a pair of red lanterns stand out in the small town at night. The goal has arrived, and this is exactly the purpose of their trip - the General's Palace.
Wu Xiu's rear support base is in another courtyard not far away. As the deputy commander of the special forces on the powerful side, Wu Kui's guards also lived in that courtyard.
Wu Xiu's father, Wu Kui, was a member of the Central Committee of Annan, and he had followed Wu Yuanjia to fight in the Quartet and made outstanding achievements. However, after the reunification of the north and the south, Li Duan acted perversely and became an enemy of China, and in a fit of rage, he took the initiative to ask to return to his hometown to recuperate on the grounds that the war wounds had recurred. After the outbreak of the border war with China in 1979, Wu Kui was reactivated as deputy commander in charge of operations in the newly formed Special Service Command.
Wu Xiu's mother was killed by an M Army plane during the Vietnam War. Wu Kui is deeply affectionate and has never remarried. Since the 7.12 War in 1984, China and Annam have begun a brutal border agent war. This time, the three strategic targets of Anbei were hit hard, and Wu Kui personally returned to his hometown, both to recuperate and at the same time to guide the search for the attackers.
Because it was in his hometown of Anzhou, Wu Kui relaxed his vigilance. He likes to live in his ancestral home, and there are only four guards on duty every day. His return to his home was a secret, and even the local officials in the town did not know about his return. He never imagined that he would become a prisoner in his ancestral home.
The night was very quiet, and the two Wukui guards on duty in front of the General's Mansion were killed by Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin, who were walking in line. Yu Songyuan and Liu Guodong rushed forward to catch the body and the gun to prevent the sound.
Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin quickly walked along the tall wall and towards the back door. The yard is not big, and after a while, Lin Tao's voice came from the headset, "In place!" β
The gate was not closed, Liu Guodong was standing guard outside, Yu Songyuan pushed open the door, first dragged the two corpses into the courtyard, and then walked to the west wing. The west wing is where Wu Kui's youngest son Wu Quan and his wife live, Wu Quan is newly married, the couple is having sex, and the new daughter-in-law's cry can be heard clearly in the courtyard. Yu Songyuan couldn't bear to interrupt the good thing, so he walked to the east wing again.
The east wing was where the servants lived, and there were three servants, one man and two women. There were three rooms and two doors in the wing, and the place where the male servant lived was empty, but the place where the female servant lived also heard a deliberately suppressed woman's voice. Yu Songyuan took out his knife, picked open the window in the central hall, and jumped in silently. The sound came from the east room where the maid lived, Yu Songyuan opened the door curtain and crept to the bed, the woman sleeping next to the night vision goggles was resting, and the other two were fighting.
He shook his hand silently and stunned the man riding on it. The man fell headfirst on top of the woman, and both women whispered at the same time, "What's wrong?" β
Yu Songyuan quickly choked their necks and didn't let them make a sound. Both women fainted, and he quickly tied up all three of them and gaged them. He came to Wuquan's room again, Wuquan was strong in combat, and the voice of the new daughter-in-law continued. Yu Songyuan pushed the door of the central hall, but the door was bolted from the inside.
He took out his diving knife, opened the door with a few clicks, and pushed the door in. Then he walked to the bedroom to the west, and as before, Wu Quan was at a critical juncture, and he was a soldier, but he could feel that someone had come in in the dark. He didn't turn around, he threw himself on the woman, and in the woman's exclamation of "ah", he wanted to take the gun from under the pillow.
Yu Songyuan threw the stone in his hand, and with a "snap", it hit the back of the head. Wu Quan pounced, "Helpβ" The woman screamed sharply. Yu Songyuan grabbed her by the neck and tied her up first, and then tied up Wu Quan and gagged her.
Lin Tao was packing up a jeep and a car in the yard, and Yu Songyuan put on a mask and entered the backyard. In front of the door of the study, there were two corpses, which were Wu Kui's guards. Lin Zhumin was wearing a mask and was chatting happily with Wu Kui in the study, it turned out that he had already told the purpose of the brothers' team and the intention of their cooperation.
"General, I'm alarmed!" Yu Songyuan apologized.
The white-haired old man's waist straightened, and he returned the salute, "You're welcome!" Although I don't know where you came from, Wu Xiu besieged and attacked the people of Mengtianfu on both sides of the Tuojiang River, and it is not difficult for me to guess who you are. But don't worry, the old man doesn't blame you at all. In times of war, each his own master! He also poured tea for Yu Songyuan.
"But it's just speculation, you won't have any proof!" Yu Songyuan said jokingly.
"You're right, you won't leave any evidence behind. The old man has only one request, it can be regarded as an exchange, you don't hurt the lives of my two sons. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! Wu Xiu is an excellent soldier, and like me, he is an enemy of China with an iron heart, just because of his duties. Teach him, but spare his life. Wu Quan is young and has no political beliefs, please let him go. β
"I promise you, we never count! Mr. and Mrs. Wu Quan are unharmed, if you don't believe it, you can check it out now. Yu Songyuan bowed.
Liu Guodong walked in with a cigarette in his mouth, nodded and said, "It's all ready!" "General, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you for a few days. Please! Yu Songyuan said respectfully to the old man.
