CHAPTER XXXI
The two off-road vehicles drove into the woods and hidden, and after the team members got out of the car, Shen Meng walked to An Ruizhi and Li Tianxiao, and said to the two: "According to Dong Wencai's account, Lang Hongxian's drug processing factory and the cave where the toxic waste is hidden are in the same valley. ”
"Alright, let's get moving." An Ruizhi was about to go to get the chemical protection suit as he spoke, but Shen Meng stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, Comrade An Ruizhi, this operation is still under your command." Shen Meng didn't say much, and both of us could understand him, because An Ruizhi was the most familiar with the commando, and each member of the team was like his limbs, so he was the most suitable to command the operation.
"Okay." An Ruizhi did not shirk, now is not the time to be humble, and completing the task is the common goal of everyone. He turned around and opened the back door of the car, and took out the chemical protective suit with Ye Zhanpeng.
Wu Fenbin and Da Jiang dragged Dong Wencai down from the first car, and then everyone gathered around and waited for An Ruizhi to assign tasks.
An Ruizhi glanced at the team members and said in a serious tone: "Everyone understands the importance of this operation, it is related to the lives and safety of tens of thousands of compatriots in the territory, and it must be foolproof. Monkey and Dajiang, the two of you are responsible for reconnoitring and opening the way in front as the sharp knife group, 02, Mingyi and Bobaman, you escort Dong Wencai to follow the back of the sharp knife group, after finding the cave where the enemy is hiding the waste, the task of several of you is to be responsible for the security outside the cave, if the guards in the drug factory find out our actions, you have to block the enemy's attack, and all actions outside the cave are commanded by 02. ”
Speaking of this, An Ruizhi looked at Li Tianxiao, Lao Lu and Ye Zhanpeng and continued: "The remaining four of us, each with a set of chemical protective suits, are responsible for entering the cave to eliminate the threat, do you understand?" ”
"Understood." Everyone answered in unison.
An Ruizhi waved his hand, "Action." ”
Wu Fenbin and Jiang Yutao were the first to disappear into the jungle, Shen Meng and the three of them followed behind Dong Wencai, and the remaining four of us, each carrying a box containing chemical protection suits, kept a distance of dozens of meters from the people in front.
The Golden Triangle can be said to be a very beautiful place, almost all the mountains are covered with lush forests, both plant resources and animal species are extremely colorful, if there is no drug epidemic, this is definitely a tourist destination that the world yearns for.
Walking through the dense jungle at this moment, the commandos did not have the heart to enjoy the beauty of the tropical forest, and everyone's spirit was highly concentrated, closely watching the movements around them. From time to time, Ann asked about the situation ahead through the portable miniature radio on his body.
It was not until near evening that the assault team climbed over the ridge and descended to the bottom of the valley. The valley runs east-west, and there is indeed a river at the bottom of the valley, and the direction of the water is officially towards the territory of China.
Most of the rivers in this area flow in a north-south direction, and it is extremely rare for such rivers to flow eastward, probably because of the mountainous terrain, and after entering China, such rivers eventually flow in a north-south direction, merging into several major rivers and passing through the Indochina Peninsula into the sea to the south.
The valley is wide and relatively flat, because there is plenty of water and plants are very lush, and this environment is conducive to the concealment of the commandos.
Less than half an hour after going down to the bottom, Wu Fenbin's voice sounded in An Ruizhi's headphones, "Call the great god and find the target." ”
"What's going on outside the cave?" An Ruizhi immediately asked.
"The entrance to the cave is very large, there is a sentry outside, and there is a wooden lookout and a row of wooden houses more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave."
"Be covert and wait for my orders."
An Ruizhi put the box on the ground, let Lao Lu and Ye Zhanpeng wait, and then quietly molded it over with Li Tianxiao by borrowing half-human tall grass to cover.
The two of them slowly moved to Wu Fenbin's side, he hid behind a low bush, and when he saw them coming, he handed the infrared telescope in his hand to An Ruizhi, and whispered: "There are two fixed posts at the entrance of the cave, and there is a guard on the watchtower, and no one has been found in other places." ”
"Is there anyone coming in or out of the hole?" An Ruizhi asked as he observed.
"Not during the time I'm watching." Wu Fenbin replied in a low voice.
The cave entrance is seven or eight meters high and two or three meters wide, located on the mountain cliff on the right side of the valley, like a cracked opening, and there are many plants growing around the cave entrance, which is not easy to find if you don't get close. Because of the water flowing out of the cave, the weeds in front of the cave mouth grew luxuriantly.
The mountain peaks have blocked the sun, the valley has become very dark, the temperature in the valley has dropped to only more than ten degrees, and the cold wind is blowing by, making the whole valley look gloomy and somewhat terrifying.
The clothes that had been soaked with sweat from the time I had just walked through the mountains and forests were now cold and uncomfortable against my skin. In half an hour, it would be completely dark in the valley, and An Ruizhi whispered into the miniature microphone, "Everyone, pay attention, retreat two hundred meters back." ”
The team retreated into the woods on the side of the valley. Li Mingyi tied Dong Wencai to a tree, and said to him while tying up: "You can suffer some grievances for the time being, and I will let you go when we are done." ”
Dong Wencai kept begging, "Big brother, if you tie me up here, maybe a wolf will eat me alive, please let me go......"
"Let the wolf eat it, it means that you have done a lot of evil, and you are innocent of death." Li Mingyi said hatefully.
"Why don't you talk about credit, and let me go when you say that you will take you to the cave......"
Dong Wencai stuffed Li Mingyi in his mouth before he finished speaking, "Damn, I'll let you go when I'm done, and then I will leave you here alone." ”
Dong Wencai shook his head desperately, he could only make a whining sound in his mouth, and his eyes showed a look of fear, Li Mingyi ignored him anymore, turned around and walked to the other team members.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ann began to rearrange the task, "In another half an hour, it will be completely dark in the valley, and then we will start to move again." Monkey and Oe, the two of you kill the two guards at the entrance of the cave, and then the four of us go into the cave to clear the danger, and the others are on guard outside. Li Mingyi followed 02 with a knapsack radio, kept in touch with the command at any time, and reported the situation here to the chief......"
After An Ruizhi finished arranging, the four of them immediately opened the box and took out the chemical protective clothing and put it on. The silver-gray protective suit includes a helmet, a transparent mask, waterproof boots and gloves, and the whole body is very tightly wrapped, with a respirator hanging from the waist, and the whole person looks like a space soldier when carrying an assault rifle.
Li Tianxiao had a small box more than the three of them, hung it on his chest, and when he opened the box, he revealed an LCD screen and two rows of buttons, which was a miniature detector that could detect a variety of toxic substances and check whether the surrounding environment was polluted.
When everything was ready, the action began.
Wu Fenbin and Da Jiang quietly approached the cave in the dark, and the two guards sat on the stone on the side of the cave entrance, smoking cigarettes and chatting, and the Type 56 submachine gun was erected next to it. Because it was just dark, both of them were in high spirits, and they were talking with great interest, neither of them expected that death had befallen them.
Wu Fenbin and Dajiang Elephant, two lynxes, suddenly rushed out of the darkness and quietly came behind the two guards, and when the two of them noticed movement behind them, the sharp saber had already slashed through their necks, and two streams of blood spurted out from the broken artery, and the two of them were weak and lay silently on the stone. Wu Fenbin and Da Jiang quickly dragged the two bodies to the grass next to them, and then Wu Fenbin whispered into the microphone, "It's time to act." ”
Hearing Wu Fenbin's voice, An Ruizhi's four people wore clumsy chemical protective suits, and came out of the bushes one by one, waiting for the people in front to enter the cave and the people behind came out, because there was still an enemy watchtower not far away, to prevent being discovered by the sentry.
Because he was wearing a helmet and a mask on his head, he could only observe the limited situation in front of him, and he could not hear the movements around him clearly, so he felt very depressed. Li Tianxiao was the first to enter the cave, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see his five fingers, but after entering the cave entrance, he could clearly feel that it was very wide inside.
An Ruizhi was the last to enter the cave, and after he entered, because he was worried that there would be bright light outside the cave, he only turned on the laser red dot launcher on the assault rifle, and a red line shot out, and the cave could be vaguely seen.
Everyone groped their way forward for more than ten meters, and then all three of them turned on the tactical lights on the assault rifles, and suddenly the cave was illuminated very brightly.
Li Tianxiao only held a pistol in his hand because he wanted to control the detector. He followed behind An Ruizhi, his eyes were glued to the display screen of the detector, and from time to time he touched a detection rod in his hand to the ground, and after walking forward for a distance, he suddenly felt water under his feet. The probe rod was inserted into the water again, and the detector showed that everything was normal.
"Everything is normal, no leakage of toxic substances has been found for the time being." Li Tianxiao whispered that everyone else could hear him through the portable radio.
"Got it, keep checking." An Ruizhi replied as he walked deeper into the cave.
No leak was detected, and the nervous psychology relaxed a little, Li Tianxiao raised his head and looked around. They entered the cave at a distance of about forty or fifty meters, and the top of the cave was at least ten meters high, and from time to time water dripped down from above, collecting on the side of the flash cave to form a current.
The inside of the cave varies in width and width, and there are protruding boulders in front of it every few meters or more than ten meters, because you can't feel the temperature in the cave when wearing chemical protective clothing. The four guessed that it must have been cold and damp, as it wasn't long before a thin layer of mist had taken on their masks.
Maybe it was because he couldn't see clearly, An Ruizhi simply took off his hood, and saw that he and the other three followed suit. Suddenly, a cold air hit his face, and his body couldn't help but shiver.
After turning a stone wall, the four people were suddenly startled by the scene in front of them, and they all stopped in unison.
I saw that next to the cave wall on one side of the cave, there were about hundreds of large iron drums containing oil densely arranged, and there was no end to the curved cave, like a time bomb that would detonate at any time, and it was terrifying in the dark cave, which should be those poisonous wastes.
The bottom of the cave is sloping, and these buckets are placed high on one side, and on the other side, seven or eight meters away, there is a stream of water, although the flow is not large, and every minute a few cubic meters of water flows out of the cave and merges into the river in the valley. Once the toxic compounds in the cave leak into the water, the consequences are unimaginable.
Looking at the hundreds of iron buckets makes people feel helpless, how to deal with such a large amount of giant poisonous substances is indeed a difficult problem. Everyone couldn't help but focus on An Ruizhi and waited for him to give an order.
An Ruizhi thought about it calmly, and then quickly gave an order, "The old eunuch immediately tests the water and air in the cave to see if it is polluted." Lao Lu and Dapeng checked inward along the iron buckets, one is to look for explosives placed around the iron barrels, and the other is to count the number of iron barrels, so that the amount of toxic waste can be calculated later. Get started now. ”
At the same time that the assault team entered the cave where the poisonous substances were hidden, Lang Hongxian was also celebrating his temporary victory at the headquarters of the old city, because he received a report that Kang Liansheng's troops had stopped attacking.
When Commander Kang first launched Operation Excalibur Storm, Lang Hongxian didn't worry too much, because he knew very well that Kang Liansheng's men were only a thousand people, less than a quarter of him, and they did not pose a threat to the old city. Although the government army promised to send troops jointly with Kang Liansheng, the people he had bribed had already told him that the government army would not contribute to the troops and would never eliminate a single soldier of him.
Later, the development of the battle situation was basically the same as Lang Hongxian's prediction, Kang Liansheng's department was blocked south of Shenmuling, and the government army crossed the Salween River and did not move, so he could rest easy.
He never dreamed that a sudden accident a few days later would cause the situation to take a sharp turn, and the commander of the Western Front, Lang Kun, was assassinated by the commander of the Anggongga Division, because Lang Kun was hiding evidence of bribery from these people in the government army.
The sudden occurrence of this incident not only paralyzed the eldest brother Lang Hongjian in bed, but also made Lang Hongxian panic, and hurriedly transferred the men and horses in the Shenmuling area to reinforce the western front. Since Anggongga assassinated Lang Kun, he would send troops to attack the old city, although Lang Hongxian was struggling to the death, he already felt that the end was coming.
Kang Liansheng's troops also took the opportunity of the transfer of the army in the old city to break through the Shenmuling defense line, and soon their troops would be in the city.
Lang Hongxian had no choice but to use his trump card, he knew that only the Chinese government could stop the war, and the only thing that could bring the Chinese government to its knees was the common people, and as long as there was a threat to the common people, the Chinese government would intervene to stop Kang Liansheng and the government army.
Two days after Lang Hongxian sent a threatening letter, Kang Liansheng's troops really stopped the attack, and after receiving the report, Lang Hongxian was immediately overjoyed, he guessed that his threat was successful, and he was happy that he immediately adjusted the deployment of troops, as long as he survived these few days, he would be victorious.
After readjusting the deployment, Lang Hongxian happily opened a bottle of champagne in his headquarters, he needed to relax the tension of the past few days, but he never expected that his last trump card was being destroyed by the commandos......
