In the past two years, there have been many escapes of prisoners detained here for various reasons, and there are many precedents of escaping the pursuit of Haihan after the fact, although most of the time the pursuit is only symbolic. But those who managed to escape were often never heard from again, and no one knew whether they escaped or died quietly in the mountains.

However, in the subsequent prison escape records, the situation of dozens of people escaping at a time is extremely rare. Generally speaking, people with a little brains will not organize so many people to escape together, because this will greatly reduce the chances of success.

It is difficult to avoid leakage once there are many ancestors, and there are quite a lot of prisoners who betray their companions in order to obtain personal points, and there are rules in the hard labor camp that those who expose other people's illegal acts will be able to get the personal points deducted by the uncovered person. For a felony like escaping, you can get at least one month's points if you expose one person, and if you expose a group of people at once, you may be able to get released directly. Therefore, even if someone plans to escape from the forced labor camp, they will often be charged within the scope of a limited number of people, so as not to get into trouble.

Secondly, if there are many people, it is easier to attract the attention of the guards when fleeing, which will cause the operation to fail. If it is one or two people, it is easier to take advantage of the gap between the guards to escape.

In addition, even if many people can escape from the surveillance area, the supplies that the fugitives can get in the no-man's land outside the stone are extremely limited, and it is impossible to achieve a complete equal distribution, which is very likely to cause infighting among the fugitives. When there are more people, it will become more troublesome to hide the team's tracks and avoid being pursued by the guards.

A year ago, when the preliminary construction of the Shilu mining area had just begun, there was a group escape due to the negligence of the guards. At that time, a total of more than 80 prisoners took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards and fled into the dense forest near the construction site, and Qiao Zhiya happened to be at the construction site at that time, so he immediately led a platoon of militia to chase down. The later result was that during the pursuit, 6 people were killed and wounded, and in the end, only a dozen people managed to escape, but these dozen people never appeared in Haihan's jurisdiction again.

With the lessons of the past, Qiao Zhiya was not too surprised that such a thing happened again in the mining area. Due to the limited conditions, the mining area has not built any isolation facilities on the periphery so far, and the prisoners do have this opportunity as long as they want to escape. Qiao Zhiya said "follow the procedure", which means that the people below will find out the situation first, so many people can't escape from prison without any signs, and they will always find some useful information. Taking advantage of this time, the militia stationed here will also immediately assemble their teams and send men and horses to pursue in several possible directions.

If these people are lucky and escape fast enough, then even if they are fatal, but if they are chased, it will be unbearable, the pursuit of fugitives in the hard labor camp is always life and death, even if they are captured alive, they will be executed in public in the hard labor camp to set an example.

Qiao Zhiya can be regarded as an official with status now, and with so many guests here, he naturally won't take time to deal with this matter personally. There was nothing wrong with his response, but the follow-up exhibition was beyond his expectations.

After receiving the order, the militia stationed in Shilu immediately organized manpower and prepared to go into the mountains to chase and hunt down, whether it could be caught up or not, this should still be done, otherwise how to make those prisoners who were ready to move in their hearts be relieved. The police quickly gathered together the two teams of the missing people and began to interrogate confessions.

Almost all of the people left behind in these two teams were timid and did not dare to run, so naturally they would no longer have any cover for their companions who had fled, and soon the bamboo tube poured beans and explained everything. It turned out that the more than 30 people who escaped were all Li people, and most of them were arrested and put into hard labor camps because of various misdeeds in the Haihan area. None of the Lebanes remained, and all of them had suffered death threats from this gang of Lebanes, so no one dared to report that there were still two or three hundred Lebanes in the camp before they acted, and no one knew if they had any accomplices left here.

But when these people began to connect together, the prisoners who remained are not known at all. The only clue that is useful is that someone has heard that this group of Li prisoners is planning to flee to the mountains to the east, because there are Li Dong dozens of miles away, and maybe someone will pick them up outside the mining area, because the gang did not even take water with them when they escaped.

However, this information was approved as the vanguard, and the militia platoon commander who was eager to lead the pursuit of the troops ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, after all, it was rare to have Director Qiao and Gu Chang from Sanya here, and this was a good time to make meritorious contributions. The platoon commander gathered his men and horses, received weapons and ammunition, and immediately drove into the mountain.

An hour later, intermittent gunfire rang out in the woods east of Pit 1, and by this time the entire pursuing force had not yet left the station. This is not surprising, the pursuit of fugitives has always been carried out as a live-fire training for the militia, and the commander can decide whether to fire or not, and most of the time the commander chooses to give the soldiers a chance to shoot at a live target.

But soon something went wrong, a signal flare rose above the mountain forest where the gunshots rang out, this is one of the configurations of the field team, the bamboo tube shell, the hand pull shot, the time in the air is very short, but it can basically meet the tactical requirements. It stands to reason that on the way to pursue fugitives, the armed forces basically chase and kill all the way, and it is difficult for fugitives who lack weapons to have any possibility of fighting back, so in addition to arranging road signs along the way, it is generally unlikely to use signal flares, because the only function of this kind of signal flares dragging black smoke is to warn and call for help.

If the first one was wrong, the second one two minutes later is obviously not wrong again. This indicates that the vanguard is most likely in trouble in the mountains and forests that it is difficult for them to parry.

The militia did not dare to slack off, and immediately quickly informed Qiao Zhiya of the news. Qiao Zhiya also woke up when he heard the wine, the rules for the use of signal flares were drawn up by him, only in the case of an emergency, the soldiers would shoot two signal flares in a row, this is no longer a warning, it is a call for help

"I have some things that need to be dealt with, you are responsible for taking care of the visiting group, and the afternoon visit will be canceled with an excuse, and send the visiting group back to Changhua as much as possible" Qiao Zhiya quietly pulled Gu Kai, who was still talking, to the side and whispered a few words to him.

Of course, Gu Kai could hear that Qiao Zhiya was not joking, and hurriedly asked: "Is the matter strict?"

"Not for now. By the way, after sending the group away, you stay here and wait for me to come back. After Qiao Zhiya finished speaking, he patted Gu Kai on the shoulder, and then turned around and went out.

"This guy said it for a long time, as if he didn't say anything" When Qiao Zhiya's figure disappeared, Gu Kai came back to his senses, and it turned out that he still didn't know anything, and he couldn't help but curse a few words. But even if Qiao Zhiya didn't say it, Gu Kai realized that the matter was not trivial. There were as many as seven or eight hundred militia groups and police stationed in the mining area, and Qiao Zhiya actually asked him to stop the tour and get people away, obviously there was something uncontrolled outside.

Although Gu Kai's guess is not very accurate, it is indeed very close to the truth. If measured by standard combat effectiveness, a platoon of militia soldiers should be able to deal with at least two to three times as many opponents when fully armed, and as for fugitives who are in a panic, it can at least double on this basis. However, a platoon that came out in advance encountered an intractable problem in the mountains and forests, which probably would not be something that the thirty or so fugitives could do. After listening to the report, Qiao Zhiya realized that the situation had to be brought under control immediately, so he chose to go out in person.

Qiao Zhiya has a good habit of bringing his personal weapons and equipment with him wherever he goes, even if he comes to Shilu to patrol, he does not forget to ask the orderlies to load all the large boxes and small boxes of weapons on the train and transport them.

However, in order to allow Qiao Zhiya to change his outfit and choose weapons, the militia troops that had been reorganized had to be delayed for another ten minutes. At two o'clock in the afternoon, an hour and a half after the vanguard had left, Qiao Zhiya finally came out of the mining area with a company of reinforcements and plunged headlong into the mountains and forests.

Although the platoon commander who led the vanguard unit was sincere in his meritorious service, he did not forget the results of his usual training, and made direction marks in accordance with the standard code along the way. However, there is often a difference of tens of meters between each mark, so the reinforcements led by Qiao Zhiya must be slower than the former in terms of progress.

During the march, sporadic gunfire could still be heard from the eastern forests. Although Qiao Zhiya was anxious, there was no other way to think at present, the vanguard was not equipped with communication equipment such as radios, and the natural environment here was a dense forest that had not been mined, even if Qiao Zhiya held the best telescope, he could not see the situation several miles away.

After half an hour of rapid marching, the scouts, who had been walking in front, finally met the people of the vanguard. What is surprising is that the people in the vanguard are not chasing the fugitives at this time, but fighting and retreating.

"It's the Lebanese who are in ambush among us" After seeing the comrades in arms of the reinforcements, a soldier with an arrow on his shoulder roared and told everyone the truth.

The following will be re-edited later

The soldiers will shoot two flares in a row, which is no longer a warning, but a cry for help
