Laos, Vientiane, Command of the Ninth Army.

"Salute!"

The salute sounded neatly, and all the officers and soldiers in the operational conference room of the headquarters stood up at the same time and saluted the general who walked in, who was none other than Lieutenant General Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Group Army.

"Comrades have worked hard, welcome to Laos." Xue Yue returned the salute and looked at the nine officers and soldiers, one of the leaders wore the epaulettes of a major on his shoulders, and the remaining eight people, the lowest was a sergeant, most of them were second lieutenants or even lieutenants.

"Major Xu Liangshan, the captain of a special forces operation team stationed in Kunming, reported to General Xue."

The major headed by Xu Liangshan, the leader of the 122 Operation Team of the Tiger Special Forces stationed in Kunming, led the team to Laos by helicopter this time to solve the incident of Thai bandits taking Chinese hostages in Nong Khai.

"Good work." Xue Yue held his hand, he could feel the thick calluses on that hand, at first glance, it was an old special forces, although the Ninth Army also had its own elite scout troops, but compared to the specially formed dragon tooth special forces and tiger special forces, it was still much worse, "Time is pressing, we are all simple, the latest intelligence has been prepared here." Including the intelligence we have just obtained from the British, as well as the information provided by our shippers. This is the place where the Thais asked us to send the ransom, and on the whole, the Thai bandits are still doing things in the old way, and we have made a preliminary judgment of the location where the Thai bandits are entrenched. ”

"Great."

After the Nong Khai incident, China immediately issued a strong protest to the British occupying Thailand, and demanded that the British provide information on the entrenchment of this group of Thai bandits in unprecedentedly strong words, otherwise, they would not hesitate to enter the army directly.

After weighing the pros and cons, the British finally made a concession decision and transferred all the information they had gathered about the Thai bandits in that area to China.

Looking at the latest information, Xu Liangshan smashed his fist on the map, "Judging from the information obtained by the British and ship merchants, the location of the target this time can be basically determined." These Thai bandits lack training, let alone military knowledge, and don't even know that such madness will lead to retaliation, and even the place where the ransom is paid is less than a kilometer away from their lair, and in this vicinity, judging from the information provided by the British, there is only this one large-scale bandit den within a radius of nearly fifty miles. ”

"Yes, this should be the entrenchment of this group of Thai bandits. This colony of bandits had a certain number of vintage rifles and shotguns, which was verified by other merchants who ran south. They are very good at stopping boats off the river, or directly using boats to get up and rush up to slash and kill, but the actual weapons and equipment are poor. On the whole, these Thai bandits are very fierce and cruel, but their strength is not strong. ”

After listening to the analysis of one of the deputy chiefs of staff, the operation team quickly developed a plan. It is said that it is a plan, but it is actually very simple, that is, to quickly arrive at the place by helicopter and rescue those trapped Chinese people as soon as possible.

As for the ransom, maybe these Thai bandits simply don't have the patience to wait for the ransom and will kill. For them, a few more grabs on the big river earn more. As for killing, it is commonplace, the British can kill it, can the Chinese not kill.

Even the most knowledgeable Thais will only think like this: What can the Chinese do to us at such a distance? Kill is not kill, that's all.

People's luck psychology is often reflected in the weak.

Before boarding the helicopter, Xu Liangshan's action team held a pre-war meeting.

"In this operation, in addition to rescuing the hostages, we must also complete the punishment task, and don't be polite to these Thai bandits.

The predetermined plan of operation is to create chaos, occupy advantageous terrain for sniping, and stealth infiltration, which are all our forte, and I don't want any surprises to happen. Keep in mind that helicopters will only join the fight after a successful hostage rescue. ”

Xu Liangshan briefly talked about the combat plan, however, the battlefield of special forces generally does not know the specific situation until they arrive at the locality, and the combat plan is subject to changes in the terrain, target location, and the defense system of the target.

"Understood!" The eight team members said in unison.

"Get on board!"

At the sound of an order, a helicopter gunship was the first to take off, and Xu Liangshan rushed to the transport helicopter with the rest of the team members, with a capacity of just enough to meet the operational requirements of a team, and the other helicopter gunship stayed in Vientiane for emergency backup.

The helicopter whipped up a huge wave of air before taking off from the makeshift airport in Vientiane and turning to Nong Khai, a short distance to the south.

At a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, the helicopter was rapidly approaching in the direction of Nong Khai, and in order to avoid an air conflict with China, the British even deliberately arranged the front-line airfield in Thailand very far south.

Soon after the plane crossed the border between Laos and Thailand, it saw the jade belt of the Mekong River, which is not small, but it is the sixth largest river in the world.

As the helicopter flew over the dense jungle, some of the British sentry posts in the jungle below also sensed the abnormality.

“oh,yes~”

A British soldier had just climbed a rock by the river, stretched, and then stood in a great position to pee on the rushing Mekong water beneath his feet. The faint roar overhead was partially offset by the rushing Mekong River below.

However, the next moment, the British soldier was stunned, and even the urge to urinate was frightened away, and above his head, two strange planes were flying quickly, and in two or three seconds, these two strange planes, with a low roar, quickly flew overhead.

"Damn, what's that??"

The British soldier tucked the baby back into his crotch, hurried back to the sentry in the jungle, and told the other comrades what he had just seen, and he thought that it might be the Chinese plane invasion.

"Square Enix, you shit, you can even make up a story to pee."

"Haha......"

"What I said is true, I assure God."

"Shit, God doesn't look at you when you pee."

“……”

As a result, the other British soldiers didn't take Square Enix's words seriously, only he remembered the two strange planes just now, although he didn't remember what they looked like, but a few years later, when Square Enix saw the hordes of strange planes on the battlefield in the Soviet Union, he suddenly remembered this encounter many years ago.

"The front is the gallery."

According to the route map obtained in Vientiane, the two helicopters soon entered the territory of Nong Khai in Thailand, and the Mekong River below, like nine bends and eighteen bends, although the river is wide, there are sudden bends in many places, which also provides great convenience for the Thai bandits to stop passing ships.

The pilot gestured to the operation team, signaling that it was about to descend, and the plane's engine was so loud that he couldn't even hear the shouting clearly.

As in previous trainings, transport helicopters and gunships slowly descend after finding the most suitable place to land, and they will be ready to respond and carry out fire coverage missions after receiving the signal that the operation team has successfully rescued the hostages.

The whole flight process is actually very short, less than 100 kilometers, if it were not for the complex terrain and inconvenient transportation, the land march would be able to roughly complete the task, and the surname of the third-generation helicopter equipped with special forces can not have the problem of insufficient flight radius at all.

Ten minutes later, Xu Liangshan led the team and finally arrived at the predetermined location, and the telescope also appeared in this bandit nest like a Thai village.

The village in the telescope is not too unusual, except for two Thais patrolling with guns on their backs, the rest is no different from a Thai village.

From the intelligence point of view, this village near the Mekong River has always relied on water for draft, and in the past, it used to fight petty and rob fishermen, and later dared to rob the colonizers' boats, and only after snatching some weapons did it slowly become 'strong'.

The British once organized an expedition, but these Thai bandits, who laid down their arms, were paupers, or went directly into the jungle, and had nowhere to find them, so they did not stop.

After reviewing and analyzing the actual situation, the action team quickly developed an action plan.

"According to the original plan, I took three people to be responsible for infiltrating the rescue, the mountain dog took two people to be responsible for sniping, and the stone and the snake were responsible for creating chaos, and the operation started at 13:15, and it was detonated after 5 minutes of starting to dive, and the table was matched."

Xu Liangshan simply gave the order, looking at the village from here, the view was wide, easy to hide, and it was very suitable for sniping, and the village was close to the jungle, which was easy to sneak into.

The village is not large, the building type is very simple, except for those typical residential mud houses, the only ones that can hold hostages may be those brick houses at the back of the village, which look like the entrenchment points of the Thai bandits, and judging from the guards at the gate, it is also the most likely nest and hostage detention point of the Thai bandits.

Stone and Snake were the first to act, and the two of them were responsible for creating chaos, and the best way was to create a violent explosion in the opposite direction of the captain Xu Liangshan's actions, attracting those Thai bandits who lacked military training to rush to check the situation.

The two of them were very athletic behind them, and with the help of the cover of the jungle terrain, the two who were already wearing jungle camouflage and had camouflage on their faces were almost not noticed by anyone, of course, because the Thais did not expect that China would actually send special forces to rescue the hostages.

Of course, they are not to blame, because they have not even heard of what special forces are.

"Big brother, did you say those Chinese would send the ransom?"

In the village's den of Thai bandits, on the second floor, by the window, a very fat Thai guy was eating a hearty lunch, and in this barren village, he and his men were the only heroes, because they could snatch many strange things, or sell them, or keep them for their own enjoyment.

For example, at this time, the leader of the Thai bandits, Tianyou, held a bottle of Coca-Cola in his left hand with the name of the trade in Chinese and English, a bag of compressed biscuits in his right hand, and a pack of Chinese cigarettes and a high-end steel printed lighter on the table. The former is Coca-Cola, which is produced in China for export, and the latter is ordinary compressed biscuits. But Tianyou ate with relish, not only that, but he was in a good mood, and he also ordered some groceries to be distributed to other people in the village.

He didn't have a good heart, he just thought that if he gave those people benefits, the next time he grabbed the boat, more people would follow him. Thailand is a backward place, but it is precisely because of the indulgence of the British, as well as the complex terrain, that the existence of such Thai bandits has occurred.

"They will definitely be, you see those Chinese, they are less daring than rats, and their families will definitely send ransom." However, when they arrive, we can hand over the body to them, haha......"

Tianyou put down the biscuit, picked up another piece of food that could not be named, and began to eat it with relish, which was not necessarily better than the meat of his meal, but it was more than a rarity.

"Wait for Lao Tzu to cut off their heads after eating, the Chinese, like the British, are not good things." Tianyou believes that anything that is better than himself and better than the Thai is not a good thing, not the British, not the Chinese, because they can produce a lot of rare products.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little irritable, and with a wave of his big hand, he swept all the food on the table to the ground, "You guys eat." ”

This time the harvest was very big, these groceries and small goods were only part of it, and what really made him think that he had picked up the treasure was the pile of medicines marked in Chinese and English.

Tianyou does not understand Chinese and English, and no one in the village understands it, but he understands the smell of medicine in the bottle, and he has also heard that the price of medicine in Chinese is higher than gold.

From time to time, after eating some beef, Tianyou, who finally filled his stomach, finally carried his pistol seized from the British, and led a few bandits into the hostage-holding room.

"When I'm in a bad mood, I like to kill."

Tianyou walked up to a Chinese, touched his neck with his hand, made a cutting motion, and then two Thai bandits stepped forward and pressed the Chinese's arms and legs to the ground, leaving only a moving head.

Tianyou's favorite thing is to hack the captives to death at close range, and in the desperate struggle of their desperate shaking their heads, the blood that spurts out of their skulls shoots all over their faces, and that feeling makes him forget it for months.

"You Chinese, all shit, like the British, will be hacked to death by me."

Tianyou had no culture, and could not utter anything more special to incite his men, and it seemed to him that declaring death to a captive, and personally carrying it out, was more enjoyable than anything else, and more representative of the majesty of the leader.

Yu Jinke, who was pressed to the ground at this time, only felt that his whole body was trembling, but this was not a fear, but a kind of general outburst before death, "Fuck-you-fuck Thai, even if Lao Tzu is dead, I will come back to settle accounts with you in twenty years, and settle accounts with your fucking children and grandchildren, one day, Lao Tzu's country will avenge Lao Tzu......"

At this moment, he had already seen the butcher's knife raised by the fat bandit leader who was laughing hideously, and he also heard the roar of the third uncle Yu Dequan.

"Jinkova, you go first, Uncle will accompany you in a while......"

Yu Jinke believes that this time, he will definitely die.

"Boom ......"

However, just then, an earth-shattering explosion was heard outside the village.

With a "bang", the leader of the Thai bandits, Tianyou, was so frightened that he even fell to the ground with the big knife in his hand.

"Where's the gunnery? Are the British coming? Quick, go check it out. ”

He had heard this kind of cannon sound when the British came a few years ago, and at that time, squatting in the jungle, he saw with his own eyes that the village was blown up by the British artillery and ignited a fire.

However, it was this one who lost his mind and paused, and with a soft pop, a small white jar was thrown into the room.

Then there was another soft sound, and the small jar that exploded burst out with a violent bright light, almost subconsciously, the bandits and the hostages were in a state of blindness, and their brains were also blank, completely unaware of what was happening.

At this time, the door of the house was kicked open, and before Tianyou and the others could react, Xu Liangshan and another team member who suddenly broke in, with a simple crossover tactical action, held a pistol and four pistols in one hand, and just shot them once, knocking down the four bandits in the room who were dizzy and dizzy by flashbangs to the ground.

Compared with the reaction and speed of the special forces, these dumb Thai bandits don't even have time to resist.

"Are you alright?"

Two minutes later, the 6 hostages who had recovered from the flash finally saw the savior in front of them.

"It's the People's Army, it's our People's Army."

They did not know Xu Liangshan or the tiger symbol, but they could hear each other's authentic Chinese, and the other party's military uniform was also the People's Army dress that Yu Dequan and others had seen, which was roughly the same.

"Check their injuries, we're going to leave right away."

Although the task is really simple, among all the tasks that Xu Liangshan has performed, this can be regarded as one of the simplest tasks, but the existence of hostages is what they are most worried about, after all, in the face of the Tiger Special Forces, no matter how many Thai people there are, it is useless, but in the face of these tied up hostages, the Thais only need to kill one in advance.

"Report to the captain, one is seriously injured and unconscious, the rest are medium to low minor injuries, the Thais just want to kill them, and they are not even interested in using torture."

A member of the team quickly examined the injuries of several people and then dealt with the seriously injured hostage on the spot.

"Those who can walk follow the action, and those who can't, the two of you will carry one on each other, and we will leave immediately."

Xu Liangshan waved the M35 submachine gun in his hand and signaled action, and he and another team member were responsible for covering.

Although the task is simple, Xu Liangshan knows very well that any terrible result that may result from underestimating the enemy, as a soldier, the most important thing is that you must be cautious at all times, especially special forces, it may be dangerous everywhere in the field, if you are careless because the task is simple, Xu Liangshan has died many times.

Fortunately, because of the earth-shattering explosion, the people of the village were either frightened and closed the door, or went to see the explosion scene, except for the four Thai bandits in the house, others also went to support.

"Get rid of them." In the operation just now, because of the fear of accidentally injuring the hostages, the action team used a tranquilizer bomb, and they were about to evacuate at this time, so naturally they couldn't take these scumbags back to the trial, so Xu Liangshan signaled to kill them.

"Wait a minute, can you let us do it ourselves?" After all, Yu Dequan is a person who has seen the world, and at this time, he can speak relatively calmly, but in this calm, there is a sense of madness.

"Move fast." Xu Liangshan nodded.

However, Yu Dequan did not take the military special dagger handed over by the action team, but walked to the corner and picked up the big knife, walked straight to Tianyou, kicked the unconscious Thai bandit leader with his foot, and then spat and scolded, "I'm fucking your mother, I'm fucking your whole family!" ”

Then, he raised his knife violently, used all his strength, and slashed down at Tianyou's head.

With a soft sound of "poof", the knife went down immediately, Tianyou's head was not separated from the neck, but was cut off the whole brain scoop melon seeds, the whole head, like a watermelon that was cut, miserable.

Of the remaining three Thai bandits, Yu Dequan didn't make a move, but just signaled his nephew to do it.

Yu Jinke took a pistol from a special soldier, and he, who knew how to shoot, squatted on the ground and fired two shots at the chest of the remaining three Thai bandits.

"Withdraw."

Xu Liangshan waved his hand, and the four-person team took the six hostages and began to evacuate.

During this period, the Thai bandits or villagers who occasionally found their traces and tried to catch up were accurately shot in the head by the two sniper rifles a few hundred meters away, and the rest were not the opponents of the submachine guns in the hands of the special forces.

In fact, there are not a lot of weapons in the Thai bandits, there are about dozens of old-fashioned British rifles, but they encountered the Tiger special forces, bullied the weak, and were led away by the sudden explosion, and finally were named one by one by the snipers of the special forces. During this period, a few Thai bandits were outflanked from the front of the house in the afternoon, but they were all put down after a few short shots from the silenced submachine guns.

Five minutes later, everyone had retreated to the hill, and the village was already in chaos, and even women and children began to use kitchen knives and sticks to try to find the intruder.

"It's a den of bandits, even children and women are taking part in the robbery, and when one of the crew members is hacked to death, they clapped and laughed...... They also lined up and took all my goods......"

Yu Dequan looked back at the chaotic bandit den village, which existed on the edge of the Mekong River and formed under special circumstances, and couldn't help but regret that he had forgotten to set a few fires just now.

"Don't worry, General Xue Yue said when he came, the state has a special fund to compensate for your losses. Those who die will receive state compensation. "How could Xu Liangshan not understand the idea of this businessman, if he changed himself and worked hard for half his life, but he was ruined by this nest of Thai bandits, and he also faced an inhuman life for nearly two days, and he was even one step away from death, and he would hate these Thai bandits to the bone." Don't worry, wait and see......"

Xu Liangshan smiled slightly, and then took out a walkie-talkie, "The hostage rescue is complete, please ask for firepower coverage." ”

"Roger."

A deep voice came from the walkie-talkie, and Yu Dequan and the others didn't understand what it was at all, but their intuition told them that something special would happen next.

Two minutes later, Yu Dequan and the others heard a roar in the sky.

"Fly...... Plane? ”

Yu Dequan said these two words hesitantly, he had seen the plane, but it was not the way it was in front of him, there seemed to be a flat electric fan on the back of the plane, and Xu Liangshan next to him just smiled and was noncommittal.

I saw that the strange plane flew over the bandit nest village, began to hover, and then began to spray tongues of fire from under the plane.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Boom ......"

In an instant, the aviation machine guns and cannons carried by the helicopter gunships began to work together, and in the blink of an eye, this small village was plunged into a sea of fire, and the Thai bandits and those Thais were panicking, crying and hiding everywhere.

The helicopter gunship did not spare any hands until it had exhausted all the ammunition it was carrying, and then left the place after passing through the field at a low altitude above the village.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Xu Liangshan patted Yu Dequan on the shoulder, this businessman was already stunned by the scene just now.

Looking at the village caught in the sea of fire, Xu Liangshan didn't have any pity, just a trace of sympathy, "A group of grasshoppers in the grass, frogs in the well, it's really beyond ...... power."
