Two days later, An Ruizhi and the four of them returned to Daomangluo along the river, although some sections of the river were fast, and using the river to transport jade was the only feasible way.

Transporting the raft from the river required more manpower to control the raft, and An Ruizhi used the radio to inform Gao Kan of the transportation plan, and asked him to send another squad of soldiers to participate in the operation.

On the third day, Gao Kan arranged for a company commander to lead twelve soldiers to Daomangluo to meet An Ruizhi, and then drove into the mountains together.

From An Ruizhi and their arrival at Daomang, Lang Hongxian had already received a secret report, he personally dispatched troops to prepare to intercept An Ruizhi and them, and waited until An Ruizhi brought people back to the mine, preparing to use the river to transport the jade rough, Lang Hongxian also got An Ruizhi's plan of action from Ma Yuan.

However, at this time, the news of Lang San's arrest in China also reached the old city, and Lang Hongxian didn't care about intercepting An Ruizhi and them, and handed over the matter to his chief of staff, Dong Wencai, to take full responsibility.

Dong Wencai immediately selected thirty soldiers to secretly infiltrate the Jiaomo River Valley, preparing to intercept An Ruizhi's transport team there.

After arriving at the mine, An Ruizhi divided the people he brought into two parts, Fang Puheng led a few people to clean the passage from the top of the mountain to the river, they chose a place that was easy to slide down, and cleared the trees blocking the passage. The company commander took the rest of the men to tie up the raft and the rack for hauling jade on the ground.

Two days later, everything was ready, and Ann decided to start shipping the priceless gem. They first put hundreds of kilograms of gems on a sleigh-like rack, tied them with ropes, tied them with two cables in front, and dragged the stones to the side of the hill together. Then tie two cables to the back of the wooden frame and wrap the cables around the big tree next to it to prevent the gems from rushing down the mountain due to the steepness of the hillside.

The two cables behind the wooden frame were replaced by each other, supported by a large tree on the hillside, and two people in front of them pulled it, slowly allowing the wooden frame carrying the gems to slide down the mountain. The giant gem is then moved onto the raft.

A cable tens of meters long is tied to the front and rear of the raft to control the raft's movement. The cable in front is controlled by two people to pull the raft in the direction it is going, and the cable in the back controls the speed of the raft to prevent the raft from being washed away due to the turbulent current.

An Ruizhi divided all the people into three groups, Wu Fenbin and Fang Puheng were responsible for exploring the road and reconnoitring the enemy situation in the front, the company commander was responsible for controlling the raft, and An Ruizhi and Lao Yang were responsible for commanding the entire transport team and the vigilance tasks behind.

When everything was done, the convoy began to move slowly along the banks of the river, which was mostly lined with forests and cliffs, so it traveled very slowly, and on the first day it had advanced less than five kilometers. At night, unable to see clearly in the river, they dragged the raft out of the water to the shore and lit a bonfire to rest.

At the beginning, Ann Ruizhi calculated that it would take at least five days to get from the mine to the knife roll, and for them time was not a problem, the key was to get the gems out safely. An Ruizhi is worried that it will take too long to leak the news, because many people are eyeing this priceless gem.

Everyone else was asleep, but An Ruizhi and the three of them didn't dare to take it lightly, Wu Fenbin and Fang Puheng were in charge of guarding in the forests on both sides, while An Ruizhi was guarding the raft and vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding wind and grass.

Lao Yang silently followed behind An Ruizhi and did what he could for him, this honest and honest and courageous veteran was very grateful to An Ruizhi for treating him as a friend. Human interaction is so simple, as long as you treat people with sincerity, nothing else matters.

Three days later, most of the journey has passed, An Ruizhi expects to arrive at the Daomangluo Cottage in the afternoon of the next day, where the jadeite rough can be loaded into the car, and it can be transported into Mandalay in two days at most, and the task is basically completed.

Seeing that victory was in sight, all the people were in great spirits, and the speed was noticeably quickened, and in the afternoon they entered the valley, with steep peaks on both sides, but the bottom of the riverbed was much flatter on both sides, for it was not yet the rainy season, and it was the driest season of the year, and part of the riverbed was exposed, which was very beneficial to their movements.

Wu Fenbin and Fang Puheng were about three or four hundred meters away from the front of the group, and when the raft carrying the jade stone reached the middle of the valley, the two of them had already gone out from the mouth of the valley.

An Ruizhi and Lao Yang followed behind the treasure transport team, about forty or fifty meters away from the raft, and more than ten meters in front of them were four soldiers dragging the cable behind the raft, because the water flow in the river valley was relatively gentle, they just followed the raft forward.

There are many trees growing on the cliffs on both sides of the river valley, and from time to time there is the sound of apes, echoes floating in the river valley, and the scene in front of him makes An Ruizhi suddenly think of Li Bai's eternal saying: The sound of apes on both sides of the river is endless, and the light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains.

Suddenly, a crisp gunshot broke the silence of the river valley, and at the same time woke An Ruizhi from his reverie, only to see the company commander who was directing the raft to move, his body shook for a moment, and then he threw himself on the ground. Immediately after that, raindrops of grenades fell from the cliff on the right and fell among the soldiers who were dragging the raft.

A rumbling explosion resounded through the valley, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the soldiers controlling the raft were damaged, and then a dense rain of bullets poured down from the cliffs, and the soldiers who were not killed were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.

It was Lang Hongxian's people who ambushed An Ruizhi and attacked them, Lang Hongxian received a secret report from the people arranged by Lang San next to Ma Yuan, he was ready to personally send out a horse and lead troops to eliminate An Ruizhi and them, and when he was about to set out, he learned that Lang San was arrested. Lang Hongxian hastily asked Chief of Staff Dong Wencai to intercept An Ruizhi's Yunbao team.

Dealing with An Ruizhi and their things have always been done by Lang San, Dong Wencai didn't know the inside story, received Lang Hongxian's order to let him lead troops to ambush the treasure team, in Dong Wencai's consciousness, he thought that he was snatching the priceless jade, and he didn't know that Lang Hongxian's main purpose was to eliminate An Ruizhi and the three of them, and Lang Hongxian's energy was focused on the third brother who was arrested, where did he still have the heart to explain clearly to Dong Wencai, which invisibly helped An Ruizhi and them.

Dong Wencai was very familiar with the terrain around the Jiaomo River Valley, and he immediately thought of the ambush site. They arrived here two days ahead of schedule and made all the preparations.

When Wu Fenbin and Fang Puheng, who were in charge of exploring the road in front, first entered the ambush circle, Dong Wencai specially ordered his subordinates not to shoot and let them go, he didn't take these two people in his eyes at all, and he never dreamed that he had made a fatal mistake.

After the raft carrying the large jade entered the ambush site, Dong Wencai clearly spotted the company commander who was directing the march from the telescope, and he ordered the snipers around him to kill the company commander first.

Wu Fenbin and Fang Puheng had already walked out of the narrowest part of the river valley, and suddenly heard the sound of gunfire behind them, and the two of them quickly leaned their bodies against the edge of the cliff to dodge, and then a series of explosions sounded in the river valley, and the two of them knew that it was the sound of a grenade explosion as soon as they heard it.

The two of them were not in a hurry to return to the river valley, they guessed that since the enemy was attacking here, there must be people in ambush at both ends, Wu Fenbin quickly observed the mountains in front and behind, and at the same time used a portable radio to urgently call An Ruizhi.

"How's the situation over there?"

"Monkey, you immediately climb the cliff on the right and destroy the enemy in ambush from behind." An Ruizhi's command immediately came from the headset.

He took off the radio on his back and handed it to Fang Puheng, "Nail, you hide here to cover the people inside and rush out, I'll go up there and kill them." ”

Fang Puheng took the radio and carried it on his back, and then told Wu Fenbin, "I know, you have to be careful." ”

Wu Fenbin turned around and quickly moved outside, looking for a suitable position to climb the cliff.

After An Ruizhi found that the enemy on the cliff threw a grenade downward, he instinctively pushed Lao Yang out with a palm, and then he rolled and hid behind a stone, he just lay on the ground, the deafening explosion sounded around him, and he felt that the ground under him was shaking, and the small pebbles that were blown up fell all over his body.

As soon as Lao Yang was pushed away by An Ruizhi, a grenade fell on the position he was just now, and the grenade exploded at the same time as Lao Yang lay on the ground, and he strongly felt the shock wave generated by the explosion spreading around. Lao Yang knew in his heart that if he was half a second late, he would be finished, and he knew that An Ruizhi had saved his life.

Just after the first round of explosions, the dust and smoke had not yet cleared, An Ruizhi looked up to observe the situation of the raft, the four people who dragged the cable behind were all blown to the ground, and the others were lying there in a row, not knowing whether they were injured or killed.

The raft began to float forward along the current because of the loss of control of the cable, and the speed became faster and faster, An Ruizhi remembered that after going out of this valley, there were rivers converging in, and the water flow became more and more turbulent as it went, and the raft must be controlled as soon as possible, otherwise the raft would crash into the big rocks in the river and break up.

Thinking of this, An Ruizhi jumped up, and in a few steps he slid to the edge of the cable that slid forward, and at the same time a string of bullets came at him, and the bullets beat the dust under his feet into smoke, and he threw himself forward on the cable, grabbing the cable with both hands.

The current hit the raft and drifted forward, the force of the current was very great, An Ruizhi's hands grabbed the cable and was actually carried forward and slid together, An Ruizhi's body was slowly dragged into the river, getting closer and closer to the water's edge.

Seeing this scene, Lao Yang quickly rushed over, grabbed a section of cable behind him, and there happened to be a protruding rock next to it, he quickly wrapped the cable around the rock, and dragged the raft that was drifting forward.

An Ruizhi took the opportunity to get up from the ground, and at this moment, more than a dozen grenades were thrown down from the cliff, and An Ruizhi shouted, "Get down." ”

Lao Yang was knotting the cable, An Ruizhi suddenly pounced and pressed him under his body, and the two of them lay on the edge of the rock at the same time, and the grenade exploded violently not far away.

Just after the explosion, under the cover of smoke, An Ruizhi quickly got up, grabbed Lao Yang's arm, and the two of them hurriedly ran to the bottom of the cliff, which was a shooting blind spot for the people at the top.

As soon as An Ruizhi's body leaned against the cliff, Fang Puheng's emergency call rang in the earphones.

"Call the great god, and when you hear it, please answer. Emergency call ......"

"I'm a great god, please speak."

"I received an urgent call from 01 that Lang Hongxian was going to attack my border town with missiles within ten hours, and 01 ordered us to blow up the enemy's missile before it was launched at all costs......"

"You repeat it again." An Ruizhi said loudly.

"01 ordered that we must destroy the missile launch system of the Confederate forces in the Old City within ten hours......"

Hearing this, An Ruizhi's heart suddenly lifted, this place is close to two hundred kilometers away from Lang Hongxian's missile position, and all of them are rugged mountain roads, it is very difficult to get there in ten hours, not to mention blowing up the enemy's missiles, An Ruizhi's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately guessed that Lang San must have been arrested by us, and Lang Hongxian wanted to threaten us to release his brother. An Ruizhi didn't have time to think about it, he picked up the Colt assault rifle in his hand, aimed at the cable bolted to the rock by Lao Yang, and hooked the bolt.

With a click, the cable snapped and the raft drifted down the river. Lao Yang was puzzled and asked: "Brother An, this raft will soon sink into the river." ”

"I know, I can't take care of it now. Brother Yang, you follow me, and we are ready to rush out of the river valley. An Ruizhi shouted into the microphone again, "Monkey, the iron nail pays attention to cover us and rushes out of the ambush circle." ”

An Ruizhi finished shouting, rushed forward at full speed, and Lao Yang also ran forward, they just ran forward more than ten meters, and dense gunfire rang out on the cliff in front of them, and bullets rained around the two of them. Ignoring all this, An Ruizhi jumped left and right and forward.

Suddenly, the sound of assault rifles sounded on the cliff in front of them, and the bullets fired at them stopped abruptly, and An Ruizhi knew that it must be Wu Fenbin who had climbed the cliff and attacked the enemy in ambush from behind. But the gunfire on the cliff behind them rang out again, and a dense stream of bullets came at them.

Fang Puheng has been carrying the M107 sniper rifle, after Wu Fenbin left, he leaned his back against the cliff, quickly opened the gun box, assembled the sniper rifle as quickly as possible, and then put the gun on a rock, aimed at the enemy on the cliff and shot, suppressed the fire behind An Ruizhi and Lao Yang, and covered the two of them to rush out.
