Chapter 885: Pursuit in the Mountains
When Wanggarin's four men touched the beach in the middle of the night, they found that there seemed to be a campfire about to be extinguished on the beach in the distance. www.biquge.info Although these people were a little scared, they still planned to find out who was spending the night at the beach. However, their professional quality was obviously far inferior to that of the trained soldiers of the special operations battalion, and their whereabouts had already been discovered when they were still forty or fifty meters away from the camp.
At first, these people didn't know who they were attacking, but when they saw the opponent's colorful military uniform, they knew that this time they were unlucky to bump into the elite of the Haihan militia. Last month, before the Haihan began to attack Zhoushan, they had already heard those who had escaped from the southern islands mention that there was a group of soldiers in green flower robes in the Haihan militia who were very good at fighting, and each of them was unstoppable with one enemy and ten. When the Dinghai Fort was breached by the Haihan militia, this group of people did not engage the opponent at all, and the city was broken before fleeing into the mountains with the main stream, and this time it was the first time that they bumped into the main owner by the sea.
Just one shot is one death and three injuries, this terrible combat power makes the captives who were lucky enough to save their lives have no intention of continuing to resist, and the two of them are like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, revealing everything they know.
Due to the limited strength of the Haihan militia and the current degree of control over the northern coast of Zhoushan Island, after the defeat of the Zhoushan boat gang in Dinghai Bay, the Haihan fleet only imposed a naval blockade on this area from the sea, and there were still many ships on the coast that were ordered to prohibit them from going to sea. Wang Jialin planned to find a boat from here to go to sea at night, and Daishan Island, which was only two hours away from here, had not yet fallen under the control of the Haihan people, and as long as he could escape, he would have a chance to make a comeback.
But Wang Jialin also knew that the Haihan people had not relaxed their vigilance, he had already seen the other party's methods, and it was a great luck to be able to escape from Dinghai Port the day before yesterday, and this time he wanted to escape from the sea, so he had an extra heart, and he did not show up, but sent his subordinates to the beach to find a boat. And he himself was cowering in the mountains and forests, waiting for the results of the reconnaissance ahead. However, as soon as the gun rang out, he must have been shocked, but he was afraid that he would have retreated into the mountains with people at this time.
Although the two captives also explained the location of their hiding place in the mountains, Wang Jialin was cunning and cunning, and it was estimated that he would not stay stupidly in the original station and wait for the Haihan militia to find him, even if he set off immediately now, it would not be easy to catch him.
Sun Zhen was very annoyed that he fired that shot, if it weren't for this reckless move, maybe he wouldn't have startled the snake. He thought that even if he only relied on his fists and feet, he would be able to subdue these four guys in a short time, but at that time, he somehow had a hot head and fired a shot first.
However, the platoon commander felt that Sun Zhen's reaction at that time was understandable, and in the face of multiple enemies, of course, he wanted to put down the opponent in the safest way possible, so that he would lose his combat effectiveness to ensure his own safety. Obviously he had a rifle in his hand and didn't use it, and if he found out about it afterwards, he would definitely be scolded - although Takahashi himself often gave up the rifle and only used the katana as the main weapon, he still strictly followed the military discipline to require the soldiers to keep the gun in their hands.
As for Wang Jialin, the bandit leader who may have fled because of this, the platoon commander thought that since his traces were found in the mountains and forests this time, it was impossible for him to escape again. After all, the other name of the special operations battalion is the mountain battalion, and this mountain forest is the combat environment that the special operations battalion is best at, and it is just at sea.
Soon the other three platoons stationed nearby also rushed over, and after hearing the news, several officers summed up, and they couldn't wait for dawn, and a group of people immediately set off from the beach of the station to the inland mountains and forests, and Sun Zhen was naturally among them. Thinking that when he did it just now, the bandit leader Wang Jialin might be hiding not far away, Sun Zhenxin also held his breath, and vowed to catch this old fox who had escaped from Haihan's hands several times in the mountains and forests.
Since the two conscious captives were incapacitated by Sun Zhen's hands, it was impossible to arrange for them to lead the way. Fortunately, when he went into the mountains to suppress the bandits this time, he brought two local Zhoushan leading the way, but he also knew the place that the prisoner said, so he took the soldiers of the special operations battalion into the mountain in the dark.
After this toss, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and as soon as the team entered the mountain forest, the sky was already a little cloudy, but it saved the trouble of lighting the road with torches. The hiding place given by the two captives was only four or five miles away from the Haihan camp, and the team marched all the way through, and it only took more than half an hour to arrive.
However, as expected, Wang Jialin, who had already become a frightened bird, would not wait stupidly for the Haihan soldiers to arrest him, and had already led people to evacuate this temporary residence. But with so many people walking around the mountains and forests, it was almost impossible to completely hide their tracks, and soon the scouts found a large number of stampede marks nearby, which were presumably left by the gang of bandits when they evacuated in a hurry.
The time between the special operations battalion and the arrival here was less than two hours, and even if the gang of bandits ran fast, their speed in the mountains and forests would be extremely limited. At present, the pursuers were divided into three routes, left, center, and right, each separated by about a mile, and chased down in the direction of the bandits' escape.
After Qian Tiandun set up the special operations unit, he trained every soldier of the special operations battalion as a scout, and one of the training subjects that Sun Zhen received when he entered the special operations battalion was tracking and counter-tracking. And the various experiences he had learned from the veterans were now very useful, such as how to spot the mottled footprints in the forest, how to identify the false marks arranged by the escapees, and how to judge the general escape route of the opponent from the position of the frightened bird in the forest. Of course, the most important thing is that in this kind of wild environment, you can judge your position and direction of travel based on your surroundings without the help of tools, and if you don't even know where you are, it is difficult to talk about tracking targets.
An hour after the special operations battalion chased south, further traces were discovered. There were a large number of messy footprints near a mountain spring, and the water vapor in the imprints had not yet dried out, apparently just left. Now the spirit of the warriors came up, and they immediately spread their feet and continued to chase south.
After chasing for about two miles, the people in front had already spotted the figure in the mountains and forests ahead, and they were moving in a southeasterly direction. However, because the trees blocked the view, it was difficult to clearly see the number of the group and the equipment on their bodies, and it was difficult to judge the identity of the other party for a while. But if it is a mountain man who hunts and chops firewood in the mountains, it is unlikely that he will adopt such a group posture.
"They were going to the village below Keziling. The party leading the way gave a relatively clear judgment: "Only the Keziling side in this vicinity can get supplies, and then they can go to the sea by taking the mountain col between Changchun Ridge and Pingshi Ridge, where it is only a few miles away from Xiushan Island on the opposite side, and there are several small islands in between, and people with good water can swim there without boats." ”
"They can't go anywhere!" The officer leading the team did not let the target slip away from his nose anymore, and immediately ordered all personnel to enter combat mode.
The special operations battalion did not rush to emerge from the forest, but patiently waited for the group of bandits to enter the mountain village in front of them, and then quietly covered up the past, blocking several major access routes from the periphery. This village is only a dozen miles away from Dinghai Bay in the south, and the people in the village are more or less related to the Zhoushan Boat Gang, and even many families have members working in the Zhoushan Boat Gang, but they have not taken any obvious measures to resist the arrival of Haihan, and at present, Haihan is engaged in commercial development, and has no energy to deal with these corners and corners for the time being.
This group of people did not stay in the village for too long, and soon reappeared at the entrance of the village, and a bald old man surrounded by everyone was particularly eye-catching, and there was no need to even take out the portrait for comparison, and the two leading parties confirmed that this person was Wang Jialin, the leader of the Zhoushan Boat Gang.
Now that the goal has appeared, the time has come to close the net. With an order, the people who were in ambush everywhere appeared, forming a huge encirclement on the periphery. The other party obviously immediately discovered that the situation was not good, and Wang Jialin reacted quickly enough, and as soon as he shouted, everyone fled in all directions, trying to escape the round-up by scattering and escaping. However, they probably miscalculated, the special operations battalion did not plan to capture all of them alive, and when they saw that these guys were about to escape, they immediately opened fire.
Even if these people could grow two more legs, they would not be able to outrun the bullets, and at the moment there was a howl of ghosts and wolves accompanied by the sound of gunfire. There were only about 100 of these bandits in total, and it was not easy to break through the encirclement set up by nearly 300 Haihan soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition. Fortunately, the soldiers of the special operations battalion were worried that the stray bullets would hit their comrades who were encircling in the other direction, so the aiming points were relatively low, and almost all of the people who were shot were shot in the legs and feet, and fell to the ground and rolled around wailing, but they could not die for a while.
The rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, so they could only retreat into the village from the entrance of the village. However, it is difficult to retreat in and come out again, and it has completely become a trend of catching turtles in the urn. The special operations battalion counted the prisoners outside the village in a hurry, collected them in custody, and then entered the village in a group to begin the search.
Among the captives captured outside the village, Wang Jialin was nowhere to be found, so the only place he could go was to hide somewhere in the village. But now that the special operations battalion has determined that he is hiding here, the search is extremely careful, and even the pigsty, latrine, stove, and roof will not be missed.
Sun Zhen and two comrades-in-arms entered a villager's house, rummaged through the cabinets but found nothing, and when they were about to leave, Sun Zhen caught a glimpse of the water tank in the courtyard that seemed to have moved. Sun Zhen walked to the side of the water tank and stood still, his hand gently supporting the edge of the water tank, and then seeing that the head of the household's face had become gray, he immediately expected that there was a problem here.
"Old Seven, you go and call someone over. Sun Zhen greeted another comrade-in-arms, who saw that his face was solemn and did not seem to be joking, and hurriedly walked to the gate of the courtyard and shouted, and seven or eight people rushed over.
"Let's work together to move this water tank!"
After Sun Zhen finished speaking, he walked to the door of the courtyard and grabbed the door panel from side to side, and forcibly removed it in a piece: "This thing is just used as a shield!"
Sun Zhen erected the door panel in the direction of the opening of the water tank, and sure enough, as soon as everyone exerted their strength, a gap appeared between the water tank and the ground, and then three short arrows shot out of the crack in the ground, and a few "aggressive" sounds were nailed to the door panel held by Sun Zhen. It's just that the arrow didn't have enough momentum, but it didn't nail through the door.
"Don't shoot, catch it alive!" Sun Zhen was not surprised by this, but instead stopped his comrades who wanted to shoot into the cracks in the ground.
Sun Zhen held the door panel, approached slowly, and said loudly: "The people in the cave can hear clearly, if you want to die, it will be very easy, and the military master will be able to fulfill you immediately! If you want to live, you should honestly throw out the weapon in your hand, and don't play tricks! Otherwise, the military master will move the water tank back, fill it with stones, and bury you alive in this hole! Say! Do you want to die or want to live!"
The man hiding in the cave was silent for a while, and finally he held back two words: "I want to live ......," and then shoved a small repeater and a dagger more than seven inches long out of the gap.
Sun Zhen didn't stop there, and continued to say loudly: "Reach out to the mouth of the cave and let me see your two hands!"
As soon as the two hands stretched out from the entrance of the cave, someone on the left and right had already used ropes to cover them, and then quickly tightened them, and the rest of the people moved the water tank to the side, and when they looked again, sure enough, there was a bald old man squatting in the hole, and it looked like Wang Jialin.
Sun Zhen lifted him out of the cave, but when he saw that it was solid soil, there was no other mechanism, and it was just an ordinary hole for the farmer to store pickles and rice wine, not a place specially excavated for hiding. Presumably, this Wang Jialin was also chased in a hurry, so he could only choose such an inappropriate hiding place. But he wanted to rely on this hole to escape the search of the special operations battalion, that was indeed too much, even if Sun Zhen didn't turn him out this time, the officer in charge of this operation would definitely not leave here easily, and would definitely turn the entire village upside down.
Several people reflexively pressed the bald old man to the ground, and asked repeatedly, "What's your name?"
"Wang ...... Garin ......"
"Now your kid has made a great contribution again!" The platoon commander who had just arrived patted Sun Zhen on the shoulder with envy: "This is the person named by General Qian to be captured alive, count your kid lucky!"
Sun Zhen smiled shyly: "This is also the platoon commander's leadership, and the credit certainly goes to the platoon commander!"
"You don't come to this set!" The platoon commander didn't accept her offer at all, waved his hand and said: "If Lao Tzu is a person who is greedy for military merits, he will not stay in the army as a platoon commander, and he will already go to Sanya Military Academy as an instructor! Hurry up and tie up this guy, and don't let him have an accident!" )
