Chen Hu finally looked at Wu Chengfei: "Wu Chengfei, your task is the most arduous. There is a ravine between Qianwei City and the Yanjing mining area. Your third brigade must lie in ambush on both sides of the ravine to deal with the reinforcements. Remember to let all the enemies come over. Hit your ass from behind, wait for us to join you and then gather and annihilate them. If the enemy has too many reinforcements, you will retreat to the [-]th highland and join the first brigade."

"Got it." Wu Chengfei nodded.

Chen Hu said: "Okay, this is our first time fighting the army, everyone give me some energy. This time our mission is top-secret, we can't reveal the slightest bit, all snipers listen to me, there must be no The captives remained in the hands of the enemy, and the snipers shot and killed anyone who was captured."

Chen Hu's order made everyone gasp, which is equivalent to saying that as long as they are captured, they will be sentenced to death.However, since the day the special operations team was established, it has been given such an almost crazy goal of completing impossible tasks.After so much inhuman training, everyone's nerves have been tempered to be extremely tough, and they can completely accept such a request.

"What if we capture the enemy army?" asked Abu Chaba.

"I said that this is a top-secret mission, so we will not keep those officers and soldiers alive, and no one is allowed to take prisoners." Chen Hu said in a stern tone.

"Yes, Commander." All the people present echoed in low voices.

The moon hung high in the middle of the sky, and groups of figures quickly shuttled between the hills on the dim earth.Judging from the reflection of the weapons, these people were all fully armed warriors, but they walked like civet cats out of their holes, without making any sound from the whole body.

There were few people in the wilderness, not to mention that in the middle of the night, the special forces members entered their respective positions without much effort.After the first and third brigades entered their positions, they immediately repaired and built fortifications with engineer shovels, and they were going to fight a regular defensive battle in their respective positions.As special forces members, they must master all combat skills. They are also quite familiar with this regular combat method.

Different from the other two brigades, the second brigade led by Chen Hu has already lurked on the hills around the Yanjing mining area.Chen Hu took out a binoculars and looked into the mining area.This telescope is still a rarity in Hualan. Due to the Western Continent's monopoly on lens production, its price remains high. In other places in Hualan, only officers at the rank of general can have a telescope. Of course, the artillery and navy of the new army The penetration rate will be slightly higher.

In the original independent regiment, only the company commander and above were equipped, while in the special forces, the small captain and above all had a pair of binoculars, which can be called the highest penetration rate in Hualan.

While Chen Hu was using the binoculars to observe the terrain, the captains at all levels also used their own binoculars to observe the movement on the opposite side. They wanted to understand the situation here in detail so that there would be no mistakes in the subsequent battles.Chen Hu observed the entrances of the salt wells in detail. In the dark hills, only at the entrances of those salt wells were there dots of torches. into the nearby sink.

The brine flows into a large pit along the sink, and there are another group of coolies beside the pit. Some of them pour water into a large pot, and then slowly boil the water dry with firewood to make dry well salt.

Chapter 122 Attack on the Salt Well

These well salts need to be transported long distances, so you can bring more after drying.And those who pour the brine directly into wooden barrels and carry it away are sold short distances, so that Liu Hongqi can add water to the brine and sell it at a higher profit. Zhao Shouhong's soda ash factory buys this kind of brine.

The entire Yanjing mining area is guarded by Liu Hongqi's salt protection team.The salt protection team has a total of 80 people, all of whom are desperadoes recruited by Liu Hongqi. They have been serving the bandits all year round and are well-equipped with weapons, making them very difficult enemies to deal with.Chen Hu carefully counted the guarding sentries, and found that there were only a dozen of them, obviously the others were resting.The group of wooden houses not far away is the barracks of the salt protection team. At this time, there has long been no fire there, and it is estimated that they have already fallen asleep.

Chen Hu looked at the surrounding terrain, the hills were flat, it was difficult to sneak up and attack the sentries.Moreover, these sentries are very particular about occupying positions, and they can see each other, so it is difficult to assassinate.Seeing this situation, Chen Hu decided to attack hard. Anyway, there is no danger to defend this place, even if they attack these salt protection teams by force, it will be difficult to support them.

Chen Hu ordered the snipers to find positions to shoot the sentries, and the others would charge after the gunshots, blocking the rest of the salt protection team in the barracks as soon as possible.

The arrangement was made, and Chen Hu personally picked up a rifle and aimed it at the sentry of the salt protection team down the mountain.As crisp gunshots rang out one after another, most of the dozen or so sentries fell to the ground.This is because of the darkness, otherwise the sniper's hit rate would be higher.

Hearing the gunshot, Xiao Jun waved his pistol and rushed down the hill with many team members.The sentries of the salt protection team had never been attacked suddenly. When they saw many sentries being killed for no reason, they all crawled to the ground in fright.They observed the unknown enemy in the dark night on the ground, and fired guns randomly into the dark night in all directions, emboldened by the sound of gunfire, but they didn't know that this made the snipers cheaper. After the second round of sniping, these sentries who slipped through the net were reimbursed. up.

There was also chaos in the barracks. The remaining dozens of salt guards woke up from their sleep. They got up from the bed in the dark, grabbed their clothes and put them on.These people had no experience in dealing with emergencies at night. Many of them wore the wrong clothes, buttoned the wrong buttons, and some even found only one shoe.They picked up the rifles next to the bed, regardless of where the cartridge belts were placed, and rushed out like this.

The first batch of salt guards who rushed out of the barracks were immediately shot from long-range rifles, and four or five people were knocked down to the ground, moaning at the door.The rest of the people didn't dare to rush out anymore, they used the weapons in their hands to shoot randomly from the door and window towards the outside.

The shooting just now was done by a sniper. Taking advantage of this gap, other special forces members rushed forward and blocked the gate of the barracks with two Mark heavy machine guns.The roar of machine guns came and went, and the dense rain of bullets caused large clouds of smoke and dust to explode on the walls of the mud houses.The salt guards, who were shooting outside the doors and windows, were killed and injured immediately.Seeing such a tragic situation, the survivors in the house did not dare to shoot again.

"Second Squad Come on." Xiao Jun gave an order, and a dozen soldiers quickly moved towards the barracks with standard crawling movements.Each of them pulled out their own grenade, and with the faint light from the machine gun tracer bullets, they accurately threw the grenade in through the door and window.

Following several violent explosions, the crumbling earth houses collapsed one after another, and the remaining salt protection team were either killed or buried alive.

"Clean the battlefield and move south in 10 minutes. We are going to meet the third brigade." Chen Hu quickly issued an order, and the squadrons immediately split up. Among them, three squadrons from the seventh squadron went to the barracks to search for the undead salt guards. Kill them all, then collect their weapons.The Eighth Squadron went to the labor camps further afield to free the chained laborers and let them go.

The three teams of the Ninth Squadron split up. Two teams went to the salt mine to release the laborers who were working, and the other team went to count the dried salt and pack it away.Salt can be regarded as hard currency in inland areas. In order to pretend to be more like bandits, they must take away a large amount of salt as evidence of their plunder.

The task of the soldiers was quickly completed, and the hard laborers were led to the depths of the mountain by them, and the soldiers each brought a bag of salt, and then the brigade headed towards the direction where the third brigade was ambush.

The quality of the Houjin army was really poor, which even Chen Hu didn't expect.The second brigade fought back and forth at Yanjing for more than half an hour, and the patrol battalion stationed in Qianwei City finally left the city.As soon as the patrol battalion left the city, the soldiers who went out to reconnaissance discovered the team.The scout quickly sneaked back to the ambush position to report. Under the dim light, he didn't realize that the team seemed too large.

Upon receiving the news of the enemy's dispatch, Wu Chengfei immediately ordered the soldiers to be alert, and soon they saw the long fire dragon in the night.The patrol battalion is not like a soldier, they don't want to expose the target problem.Let these patrol battalions walk at night, if they don't light up torches, his moving speed may be as fast as that of a tortoise.

The patrol battalion marched forward with torches, allowing Wu Chengfei to perceive the opponent's movements and numbers, and soon he frowned.According to information, there should be only one infantry patrol battalion in Qianwei City. According to the military system of the Qing court, such a patrol battalion has less than 300 people, but judging from the current number of torches, there are more than 1000. People are going to light four torches.

"No, the opponent has a lot more people." Wu Chengfei turned his head and said to the messenger: "Go to the 1000 Heights immediately, ask the first brigade to come over quickly to support, and at the same time send people to the direction of Yanjing to find the second brigade, and tell them the number of enemies There are problems, at least [-] people."

The messenger left soon, and Wu Chengfei was still worried. He ordered the soldiers to prepare all the grenades, and everyone was allowed to shoot only after listening to his gunshots. Fire kills.

The Hou Jin army of the patrol battalion gradually approached the mountain col. They had no military quality and did not send scouts, so they plunged into the pocket formation.With the help of the faint light of the fire, Wu Chengfei watched the lazy Qing army moving slowly down the mountain, but remained motionless.

The squadron leader on the side whispered: "Captain, are we still going to fight?"

"Wait a little longer and let them pass by. Let's wrap our tails around them." Wu Chengfei replied in a low voice, but he was weighing in his heart whether he should shoot or not.

Chapter 123 Turning to the County

Liu Hongqi was sitting on the horse at this time, falling at the end of the team and moving forward slowly. Beside him was Acton, the leader of the Eight Banners.This leader is a subordinate of Chuo Habu, the general of the capital of Shu. He took more than 1000 bannermen of his own to the prefecture city of Syria to move the defense.

Hearing that Yanjing was attacked by bandits, Acton thought it was an opportunity to make meritorious service, and he immediately proposed to set off with Liu Hongqi's patrol battalion.Liu Hongqi was worrying about being alone, so he heard that the flag soldiers were going with him, so he naturally welcomed them very much.In this way, more than 1000 Eight Banners soldiers set off together with the patrol battalion to check the situation in the Yanjing area.

Looking at the Hou Jin army like a long snake formation in front of him, Wu Chengfei only felt that his hand holding the gun was full of sweat. This was the first time he fought in such a situation with such a huge disparity in numbers, even with him as the captain of the special forces team. Also not sure.

"The commander is here." A soldier whispered to Wu Chengfei, he raised his head, just in time to see Chen Hu leading the Renmao running over quickly.

"Commander, why are you here?" Wu Chengfei asked in surprise. According to the original plan, he should lead the second brigade to intercept in front.

"The plan has changed." Chen Hu said: "The battle went much smoother than we imagined. The salt protection teams in the Yanjing area have been wiped out, and we have also found some evidence that the salt protection teams were bandits. It turns out that these salt protection teams A group of people pretending to be bandits went out to do evil, and gathered wealth for Liu Hongqi."

"So the culprit has been eliminated, shall we retreat?" Wu Chengfei asked.

Chen Hu shook his head: "The number of enemy troops is very different from what we know. They are too many, so we changed the plan. Your third brigade immediately withdraws from the position, and together with the second brigade, attack Qianwei City. When the first battalion comes up, let them intercept this troop here for reinforcements."

"Isn't it the same for us to intercept here?" Wu Chengfei asked curiously.

"Most of the heavy weapons are with the First Brigade, and it is more advantageous for them to intercept. Besides, we must find an opportunity to severely attack Liu Hongqi. It is best to let him fall, so as not to sell us salt solution mixed with water. This is something strictly ordered by the boss. , we must do it." Chen Hu's order was unquestionable, Wu Chengfei had no choice but to nod and send someone to pass the order, and all the troops withdrew from the position.

The special forces of the third brigade were well-trained, they withdrew quietly and headed for the scheduled assembly point.Hou Jinjun, who was walking in the valley, still didn't know that he had already walked before the gate of hell.

Since most of the people went to the Yanjing mining area, there were only a dozen government servants and more than 20 patrol battalion soldiers remaining in the city.Although these people were all ordered to go up to the city to guard and be more vigilant, it was really powerless for such a small number of people to take care of such a long city wall.

The special forces members are all first-class players, and they can easily deal with this kind of defense full of loopholes.Using all kinds of special tools in their hands, the second brigade dispatched two small teams, with three people as a team, and quickly climbed up the city wall from the omission of the sentry.Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the special forces members easily used their daggers to eliminate all the sentinels who didn't know.

Without a sound, the special forces members of the two brigades quickly climbed to the top of the city and took control of the entire wall of Qianwei City.Chen Hu and the two captains met at the city gate. "Commander, the city defense has been taken over, what should we do next?" Xiao Jun has already received the exact information on the battlefield.

Chen Hu nodded and said: "You two brigades immediately search for remnants of the enemy in small teams. The sixth squadron comes with me. We want to occupy Liu Hongqi's mansion and find evidence of his collusion with the bandits."

"What should I do if I meet Liu Hongqi's young and old?" Xiao Jun asked for instructions.

Chen Hu gritted his teeth: "This matter must never be leaked, otherwise the boss will be very dangerous. All the people in the group should be killed, and no one can be spared."

"It seems too cruel for us to do this." Xiao Jun couldn't bear it.

Wu Chengfei nodded and said, "Maybe we don't have to do this, and we can make them more convinced that we are bandits."

"What do you want to do?" Chen Hu asked.

Wu Chengfei smiled and said: "Let all the soldiers change their names. We all address each other as bandits. Everyone covers their faces with black scarves. That's all right. Why kill the whole family, because it's a suspicion of trying to cover up." .”

"Alright, let's split up. Xiao Jun and I will search the Liu Mansion, and you will lead someone to take charge of the task of clearing out the remnants of the enemy in the city." Chen Hu assigned a task to Wu Chengfei.

"I promise to complete the task." Wu Chengfei and Xiao Jun agreed in unison.
