Chapter 681: Breaking the Siege

Since the landing of Haihan in Sanya, there have been several armed conflicts with the Li people, but most of the time it was an emergency, like this time the Li people took the initiative to set up an ambush to attack the Haihan militia, which seems to be the first time in Qiao Zhiya's memory. +◆Top+◆Point+◆Small+◆ Say,

Qiao Zhiya is not worried that these Li people in the deep mountains can really be armed to attack the towns under the rule of Haihan, even if they have this heart, they are not capable of realizing it, after all, these primitive Li Dong can't even do a hook knife in their hands, how can it be possible to arm a decent army. But if these Li people are relieved to engage in destruction instead of attacking cities and plundering land, it will indeed give Haihan a headache. In particular, as this time, colluding with the prisoners in the hard labor camp inside and outside the camp to set up an ambush in the mountains and forests to attack the militia troops that were lured out, it is really difficult to prevent it.

Wait! Collusion between inside and outside, luring snakes out of holes...... Qiao Zhiya suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, if the vanguard that was ambushed was lured out, then how could the reinforcement led by himself not be led out by the warning signal of the vanguard?

However, Qiao Zhiya led more than 200 people, and they were already on guard, and if the Li people wanted to leave this army in the mountains and forests, they were afraid that they would have to pay thousands of lives, and this was definitely an unacceptable price for Li Tong, who did not have many mouths. The phrase luring the snake out of the hole seemed a bit inappropriate to be placed here, so Qiao Zhiya immediately thought of another possibility, that is, to divert the tiger from the mountain.

The number of troops stationed in the mine is not small, and the two reinforced companies of the militia and two police squadrons are sufficient to maintain daily law and order. But if part of this troop configuration is removed, and someone deliberately causes trouble, then it is difficult to say.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhiya didn't dare to continue the war, compared to killing these bold Li people, the safety of the Shilu mining area was obviously more important. He immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat back in groups in an organized manner.

However, the enemy in the dense forest obviously did not intend to accept it when he saw it, and he actually rushed up unrelentingly, Qiao Zhiya was a little more sure of his guess when he saw this, and while directing the soldiers to cover each other's retreat, he used the military radio he carried to call Gu Kai in the Shilu camp.

Qiao Zhiya's worries had indeed come true, and Gu Kai's voice on the radio seemed a little panicked: "The prison area where the prisoners are held and the mine are suddenly in chaos...... I have ordered the mining to be stopped, all exit routes to be closed, and all armed men to be dispatched to maintain order. ”

"Has the tour group left?" Qiao Zhiya calmed down when he heard the news at this time, and began to inquire about the current situation of the camp.

"Before I could leave, I heard that some prisoners were trying to sabotage the facilities at the train station, and fire has already opened on the side of the station. I was afraid that something would happen, so I didn't dare to let the group go. Gu Kai reported.

"You immediately contact Changhua and ask them to transfer two companies to Shilu for reinforcements! If there is too much trouble in the mining area, you will command the troops to shrink back, hold the camp and wait for us to come back!" Qiao Zhiya didn't care about the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, and directly gave instructions to Gu Kai.

"Okay, then how long will it take for you to come back?" Gu Kai asked.

"It's hard to say, maybe in an hour, I'll have some trouble here and be dragged back. In short, you lead people to guard the camp, and you and the people in the visiting group don't have any accidents!" After Qiao Zhiya finished the call, he already had a general understanding of what happened.

It is clear that today's successive chaos is not an isolated accident, but a well-planned series of actions. From the beginning of the organized escape of the prisoners, a trap was arranged, and the Li people who had set up an ambush in the mountains and forests launched an attack on the pursuing Haihan militia, which led Qiao Zhiya to lead more armed men to leave the mining area and go deep into the mountains and forests. At this time, some prisoners took the opportunity to launch a large-scale riot in the prison and mining areas at the same time, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to create a large-scale riot. There were thousands of prisoners in the Shilu mining area, and a considerable number of them were disgruntled with Haihan, and there was no doubt about the choice these people would have made when such an opportunity appeared.

However, Qiao Zhiya is not particularly worried about the personal safety of Gu Kai and others. Both the visiting group and Gu Kai were placed in the barracks where the militia was stationed, which was undoubtedly the safest place in the entire Shilu mining area. The camp was located on the western slope of Pit No. 1, with a fortification of high walls and trenches, and only one or two hundred rifles were enough to hold the place. Even if the garrison forces in the camp could not control the riots in the mining area and the prison area, as long as they retreated to the camp in time, it would be enough to withstand the onslaught of the prisoners.

But at this time, Qiao Zhiya still didn't understand why the Li people planned to attack the Shilu mining area, was it because there were many Li people imprisoned here? If it was just to rescue these Li prisoners, then it was enough to organize a large-scale prison escape, why did they have to carry out so many follow-up actions, and did they still expect to be able to shake the rule of the Haihan through guò in the form of riots?

The only thing Qiao Zhiya was worried about was that Gu Kai, a pacifist, would relapse from his old illness at such a time and be harmed by his own Madonna attribute, so he specially emphasized that he should retreat from the camp when the situation was tight, lest this guy whimsically use other methods to stop this riot.

However, Qiao Zhiya's worries are a little redundant, even a pacifist with a firm stance like Gu Kai will still give priority to the overall situation at this juncture. He first calmed down the somewhat apprehensive visiting group, and then called the company commander of the militia group and the head of the police department who stayed in the mining area to discuss countermeasures.

"What was the routine method used by the hard labor camp to deal with this kind of thing in the past?" Gu Kai asked straight to the point.

"Looking back, the police will disperse first, and if it doesn't work, the militia will intervene. "At present, the person in charge of the management of the hard labor camp is Yu Zhen, a naturalized cadre, who was born in Yazhou and worked in Sanya Port before, and was only transferred to Shilu last year to manage the hard labor camp. For him, it was also the first time he had encountered such a big mess.

"Then what's the situation like now?" Gu Kai continued to ask.

"Looking back, the mining area is out of control, and the mob has destroyed some facilities with mining tools, and hundreds of people are attacking the prison area," Yu Zhen replied. There are also personnel in the prison area, but they are still under our control. ”

Gu Kai didn't ask about the casualties, these figures were of no practical significance at the moment, he turned to the militia company commander and asked, "How are your people doing now?"

"There is a platoon guarding the station, and the rest of the men are currently on standby in the camp. The company commander immediately responded.

"Looking at the current situation, the police force should be unable to control it...... Gu Kai asked, "If you let your people dispatch, how can you solve the current problem?"

"Troublemaker, kill!" the company commander's reply was short and forceful, without any hesitation.

Gu Kai had to ask a different way of asking: "I'm asking you what you want to do." ”

The company commander replied: "First of all, we must disperse the thugs who are attacking the prison area and prevent them from forming a joint force. According to the information obtained by the Humble Officer, only some of the prisoners are currently participating in the riot outside, mainly the Lebanese and prisoners of war, and as long as these people who take the lead are eliminated, the riot will be quelled. ”

"The thinking is quite clear!" Gu Kai couldn't help but praise: "I was trained at the Shengli Port Military Academy before, right?"

"Humble Lu Li, Chongzhen enlisted in the first year, a second-year student of Shengli Port Military Academy, and is currently a lieutenant company commander. Hearing the chief ask about his personal situation, the naturalized civilian officer hastened to report. If you can leave some impression in the heart of a big man like Gu Kai, it will definitely be beneficial.

Gu Kai's face turned solemn and said: "Lieutenant Lu Li, I now give you the right to command, you can mobilize all the armed personnel in the Shilu mining area, and take the necessary means according to the needs of the form, do you understand?"

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Lu Li raised his hand and saluted, then turned around and left with Aftershock.

Gu Kai took a deep breath and put on a smile before returning to the restaurant, continuing to appease the group of merchants who visited the group.

Lu Li's response was very bold, he left the unskilled police in the camp as the main defense force, and he himself led the militia soldiers to take the initiative. Although these policemen have also been trained to use flintlock pistols, the vast majority of them have never participated in actual combat at all, and their combat effectiveness is rather worrisome. Lu Li believes that the rioting prisoners will not take the initiative to attack the most heavily defended military camp in a short period of time, but will take down the prison area and rescue their accomplices in the prison area first. Based on this judgment, Lu Li decided to first relieve the siege of the prison area, and then gradually sweep away the rioters.

The prison area where prisoners are held is divided into two areas, the eastern one is larger, and the prisoners are all prisoners with less serious crimes. The western district is small, and most of the prisoners are felons, and most of them have no hope of getting out of prison and can only spend the rest of their lives in hard labor camps. In normal times, even when these people are arranged to work outside, they are often shackled to prevent them from escaping. If these people are given a chance to get out of custody, they will undoubtedly become the backbone of the riots. And now the mob is trying to attack the same Western Prison District, where these felons are held.

Although there is no isolation measure on the perimeter of the entire Shilu mining area, there are still high walls around the prison area, so although the rioters tried to attack the western prison area, the police stationed there could still rely on the more than a dozen flintlock pistols issued to prevent the thugs with only shovels and hoes from achieving their goals for the time being.

When designing the layout of the various departments in the Shiroku mining area, the barracks were set up just a few hundred meters away from the two prison districts in order to be able to respond as quickly as possible if necessary. So when Lu Li rushed over with three platoons of soldiers out of the barracks, the rioters had not had time to pose a substantial threat to the West Prison District, so they could only vent their dissatisfaction by throwing gravel from a distance, which of course could not cause too much trouble for the police in the West Prison District.

Lu Li did not take any warning measures, but directly asked all the soldiers to load their bayonets in advance and approach the rioting crowd in a firing formation. Some prisoners of war who had seen the powerful Haihan array on the battlefield immediately chose to turn around and escape, and a considerable number of people did not realize what this neatly pressed Haihan military formation meant.

"Raise your gun!" When he was still about 100 meters away from the target, Lu Li ordered to stop marching and let the soldiers enter a combat state.

"Shoot!" Lu Li gave the order, and the soldiers who had already lined up pulled the trigger and fired a volley of bullets. Immediately after that, the soldier behind him walked to the front through the gap, raised the loaded rifle and aimed ahead, and as the copper whistle in Lu Li's mouth blew, another row of bullets shot out. The soldiers in the next row immediately stepped forward and fired in a rotational manner, advancing slowly and steadily.

The thugs, who did not even have armor, were immediately beaten by this volley of guns, and every time the shots rang out, several people fell, and the thugs who rushed to the front fell in unison like ears of rice cut by a sickle, and it was only then that the people on the opposite side realized that their opponent was the legendary invincible Haihan militia, and began to flee in terror.

After only five rounds of firing, the hundreds of rioters who tried to storm the West Prison District had already been dispersed, and about forty or fifty dead and wounded had fallen to the ground under the onslaught of the militias. Of course, even if they survive, the lives of these people have already entered a state of countdown.

"Clean up the battlefield, interrogate those living mouths, who is the main messenger, and those who refuse to cooperate will be executed immediately!" Lu Li only gave an order, and then rushed to the prison area to inquire about the situation there.

Before Gu Kai talked to him, there was already a warning in the West Prison District, and there were people in the prison area cooperating with the outside and setting fire to the scene. But fortunately, Lu Li came in time, and the chaos in the prison area has not yet broken through the prison building. After determining that there were only about 100 rioters in the West Prison District, Lu Li asked the police stationed here to open the iron gates of the prison area and release these people.

The following will be re-edited later
