CHAPTER XXXIV
Before leaving the valley, the commandos kept their promise to let Dong Wencai go, and Dong Wencai left the Golden Triangle for Bangkok, where he died on the streets of Bangkok two years later.
The team members returned to the mountain forest where the off-road vehicle was hidden, drove the car out of the woods, and then waited for An Ruizhi to give the order to set off.
After coming out of the valley, An Ruizhi didn't say a word along the way, he was silently pondering, and the team members didn't know what he was thinking, and they didn't dare to disturb him.
After getting in the car, Wu Fenbin turned around and asked him, "Captain, where are we going?" ”
"Oh." Wu Fenbin's question pulled An Ruizhi out of his contemplation, "You contact Commander Kang's command to see where they are now, and we will rush over to meet them." ”
Wu Fenbin put on the headset and began to contact Commander Kang, as soon as he called, Wu Fenbin's face showed an extremely excited expression, and soon he pulled off the headset, laughed happily and said, "Haha...... Guess where they are now, Commander Kang?"
Dajiang, who was about to drive, couldn't help but say when he saw Wu Fenbin's joy: "Shouldn't it be in the old city?" ”
"You guessed it, they've entered the old city, and they're in Lang Hongxian's headquarters now." Wu Fenbin said with his eyebrows fluttering.
Wu Fenbin's words made Jiang Yutao's eyes widen, and he didn't seem to believe the news, it had only been a day since Commander Kang's troops resumed their attack on the old city, which was also too fast.
"Monkey, did you hear me right? Yesterday, Commander Kang's troops were still more than fifty kilometers away from the old city, and now they are entering the city? Could it be that Lang Hongxian's subordinates are all paper-paste? It takes half a day to use urine! Oe asked suspiciously.
"The defeat is like a mountain, that is, it is an instantaneous thing, there is nothing strange, let's go to the old city." An Ruizhi said calmly, he didn't seem to be too surprised by the recovery of the old city.
"Yes." Dae shouted happily and started the car and drove quickly in the direction of the old city.
Sometimes it's like this, looking forward to the arrival of victory when struggling hard, victory is in front of me and I don't seem to believe it, it feels too fast, the team members are talking happily in the high-speed off-road vehicle, guessing, talking about why the old city was recovered so quickly, it seems to be particularly smooth, guessing whether Lang Hongxian was caught or killed?
Only An Ruizhi calmly leaned back on the seat and pondered, his calm expression was incompatible with the cheerful atmosphere in the car, and he didn't interject when he listened to the conversation between the two, still thinking about his own problems.
Wu Fenbin saw that An Ruizhi had not spoken, thinking that he was sad about Qu Yigong's sacrifice and wanted to divert his attention, so he asked him, "Captain, do you also think that the recovery of the old city is very fast and smooth?" ”
"Commander Kang has been lying on his salary for three years for this day, how can he say that it is very fast. If it is said that it is even more wrong, needless to say, it is that our Excalibur Commando has also paid a huge price for it......" An Ruizhi said here and suddenly paused, and quickly continued: "Many times people see the victors cheering and rejoicing, but they don't notice the hardships they pay......"
Wu Fenbin and Da Jiang both heard An Ruizhi's thoughts, and when he was victorious, he thought most about his sacrificed comrades.
An Ruizhi saw that Wu Fenbin and Da Jiang suddenly fell silent after hearing his words, and didn't want to affect their emotions because of himself, so he said: "Actually, I have been thinking about the next plan of action, recovering the old city is only the beginning of the Excalibur assault operation, and our task is to fight drugs in the entire Golden Triangle." Commander Kang was driven out of the old city because of the ban on drugs, and both his subordinates and the common people opposed him. Therefore, it can be believed that the anti-drug operation will be more difficult in the future, and the task behind will definitely be more difficult than recovering the old city. ”
The two of them finally understood what An Ruizhi was thinking, and when they heard him say this, they both felt the arduousness of the task ahead, and the next thing to solve was a social problem, which was different from charging into battle, and it could not be done only by being brave and fearless.
The off-road vehicles drove out of the gravel road in the mountains and drove onto the better asphalt road, which stretches from the territory of China and is arguably the best road in the Golden Triangle.
The car was no longer so bumpy, and it was much more comfortable to sit in the car, An Ruizhi suddenly remembered something, he asked Wu Fenbin, "Monkey, I haven't bothered to ask you, why did you come back so late after jumping off the bridge?" ”
"To tell the truth, I don't know, after falling into the river, my consciousness was blurred, instinctively hugged a big round rock at the bottom of the river, and then slowly walked in the water, and then I didn't know anything, and when I was conscious, I found myself lying on the river, half of my body was still soaked in the water, but I was still holding the stone in my hand......"
"Monkey, did you treat that stone as gold in your dream, haha......" Dae joked with Wu Fenbin while driving the car.
"Damn, that stone is worth more than gold, it saved Lao Tzu's life." Wu Fenbin said in an exaggerated tone.
"Then why didn't you bring it with you? Sell for a good price in the future. ”
"I'm here to chase you, or I'd really piggyback on it."
"Monkey, to be honest, we really thought you had seen God, and when we saw you suddenly appear, I was startled, and I thought I saw a ghost."
"Fuck, the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, and you're fucking waiting for me to see God."
Dae and Wu Fenbin couldn't help but joke and gag each other, and before they knew it, the off-road vehicle approached the outskirts of the old city.
The people in the car stopped talking, and they all looked out the windows with their eyes wide open. The streets were unusually deserted, the shops on either side were closed, and one or two people hurried by, not a single soldier in sight, no gunshots, and the impression of an empty city.
After Lang Hongxian coaxed Mu Nanuo, the commander of the 116th Division, to snatch the cave where the toxic waste was stored for him, he waited anxiously for news.
Lang Hongxian's heart has always been worried, because the government forces on the Western Front have not stopped attacking the defense forces of the old city. Kang Liansheng's troops stopped drinking to celebrate, and he just used this way to hide the panic in his heart. He knows very well that once the last trump card fails, he is finished.
Three hours later, Lang Hongxian received a report that the drug factory was attacked by helicopters and the factory was destroyed.
Lang Hongxian knew very well in his heart that this was an anti-tank helicopter dispatched by the Chinese army, and after destroying Mu Nano's armored troops, he cut the grass and beat the rabbits, and by the way, he knocked out his own factory, and he could guess that Mu Nanno was finished without asking.
Disaster is not a single line, as soon as the phone here is put down, another phone rang again, Lang Hongxian already had a premonition that there was no good thing, he grabbed the phone with a trembling hand, it was opened by the troops of the Western Front, and the government troops had broken through their defense line and were heading towards the old city.
The microphone fell from Lang Hongxian's hand to the ground, and he sat on the chair weakly, staring blankly at the front and unable to say a word.
The adjutant and staff officer who had been standing next to him saw Lang Hongxian's dejected expression, and they all guessed a few points in their hearts, and the adjutant came over and asked anxiously: "Commander, commander, what happened......
Lang Hongxian deserved to be a hero, and soon he stabilized his mood, he knew that it was time for him to leave, he raised his head and looked at the adjutant and said calmly: "Order the officers and soldiers defending the city to transfer immediately." ”
"Is it a transfer to Ganghan Village?" The adjutant immediately asked.
Lang Hongxian nodded silently, the cunning rabbit three holes, he had already left a way back for himself. Two years ago, Lang Hongxian established a secret stronghold in the mountains 50 kilometers northwest of the old city, which was a cottage called Ganghan with the Salween River at its back and surrounded by lofty mountains.
Many years ago, when Lang Hongxian was fighting guerrillas, he took a fancy to this place, this area is not only dangerous, but also rich in minerals, there are many high-yield gem mines, and there are teak forests with very large reserves on the surrounding mountains, so it can be said that the two local treasures are here.
Two years ago, he sent troops to Ganghan, and on the basis of the original natural hazards, he overhauled the civil engineering, making it a strong fortress. Lang Hongxian considered early on that if he lost the old city and retreated to Ganghan, then no one in the world could do anything to him.
When Lang Hongxian learned that the government army was going to cooperate with Kang Liansheng to act together, he began to secretly transfer his family wealth to Ganghan, and even transferred the families of some officers with him, leaving Kang Liansheng with just an empty shell.
