Chapter 37: Godly Soldiers Descend from Heaven and Officials Force the People to Become Bandits

Du Chenyu led the first squad and the special forces to raid Chenjiagou. The bandits' fighting power and vigilance were obviously better than the local militiamen. When the special forces attacked the second person, he pulled the trigger of his rifle before dying. The gunshot alarmed the other three people, one of whom was killed and the other two escaped. We checked Chenjiagou, which is deep in the mountains, an hour away from the nearest Laifengbao. There are more than 1 households, and most of the land is required by the bandits to grow poppies, which is also the main source of income for the bandits.

The team did not stay here for too long, nor did they send anyone to garrison there. They continued to move forward into the mountains along the edge of the ravine at a very slow pace to prevent an ambush. Half of the special forces were sent out for reconnaissance.

According to the intelligence from the prisoners, there are several rope ladders and sitting ladders under the cliff opposite the mountain. There are bells on the ropes. As long as they are shaken in the correct way, they will allow someone on the rope to be on it. Otherwise, the person who comes up will be beaten to death.

The team went up along the ditch, and after an hour, they arrived at the bottom of the cliff, but there was no rope. It seemed that the bandits who had escaped had already reported the news. They could only retreat to a small ridge and send out special forces to investigate. The result of the report they came back was that there were cliffs within two or three kilometers, but there were a few places that could be climbed up.

"Retreat, it's too dangerous to climb rashly at this time," Du Chenyu ordered. Then the team returned along the same route. Many people didn't notice that he left special agents to investigate at any time and came to Chenjia Bay near Laifeng to prepare to set up camp.

"Report, there has been a lot of traffic in Laifeng these days, and the guards are also training around the clock. More than 10 people were sent towards Wuquan in the afternoon," reported a special service member named Tugouzi.

"Continue to advance towards Laifengbao and look for bandit activities there," Du Chenyu ordered.

We crossed Jiandao Pass and reached the upper half of Laifengbao Mountain. We walked down along the ridge and set up camp on the mountainside to cook dinner. It was already completely dark.

"Everything is normal in Laifeng Bao. The soldiers who went out have not returned yet," the special service team reported again. After dinner, he arranged for 5 special service teams and two small teams to intercept all the soldiers who went out, and not let the soldiers from Laifeng Bao return. Once the ambush was successful, they would immediately send a message back to raid Laifeng Bao. Now, the rest of the people are waiting for news and informing Hu Laosi and He Chaowu about the next plan.

It was not until noon the next day that the special forces received news that they had succeeded in ambushing the outgoing Fengtuan soldiers, but they were met with fierce resistance from the enemy. Three of them were injured, and one was killed by a grenade from the enemy. However, the spoils were rich, including 3 new guns, a pistol, 1 rounds of bullets, and 10 kilograms of explosives, which were said to be arms sent from Chengdu. It seems that the second brother, who was in the military academy, had a feud with Tan Shixiong and was constantly arming his uncle to fight against them.

"Pass the order, the entire army will attack Laifengbao and anyone who stands in the way will be eliminated," Du Chenyu also set off.

Half an hour later, there were continuous gunshots. Lai Fengbao estimated that he had less than 20 guns and a team of 24 people with the support of the special forces. The difficulty should not be great, so he chose to attack by force. This was a strong warning to the surrounding forces.

All the way to Laifengbao, the Chen family compound, the attack was blocked. Several firepower points inside were behind the stone wall, blocking the team's advance. Three of their own were sacrificed and 3-5 were injured. With the last 6st team joining, the attack firepower increased again. The thatched house in front of the firepower point was set on fire. The thick smoke blocked the opponent's sight. Several special forces placed explosive packs under the corner of the wall. With a few loud bangs, the retaining wall of the compound was blown over and the firepower point was buried in the dust. Lei Jianqin, holding a pistol, climbed over the collapsed retaining wall and fired continuously to eliminate the firepower point.

The team at the back immediately rushed in and tied up all the men. As expected, they found three injured bandits inside and two dead. Without the support of the bandits, the militia would not have been able to put up such a strong resistance.

Du Chenyu did not enter the house, and asked Hu Laosi to handle the follow-up matters. He took the special service team, Zhou Kui's team and Wang Quan's team away. They crossed Jiandao Pass again, dispersed all the way, tried their best to reduce the noise, and came to the cliff below Feilai Peak where the bandits were stationed. The reconnaissance team members reported that not long after they left, the opposite side lowered the rope, two people came down, then turned around, went back, and then put away the rope again.

It is almost 5 o'clock now, and there is still an hour before dark. They must speed up the progress. They came to the place where Tu Gouzi was scouting. They can climb the edge of the cliff. There are several trees in the middle and several steps. It is not a straight cliff. Tu Gouzi carried a rope on his back, an eagle claw hook in his hand, and a safety belt around his waist. He climbed up along the cliff, like a monkey, almost without stopping, and climbed 7-8 meters. He took a breath and climbed to about 10 meters high. There was a small bush. He threw the eagle claw hook with a rope in his hand to the top of the cliff to test its strength, and then pulled the rope and successfully reached the top. He fixed the rope and put it down. The special service team members went up one by one. Zhou Kui also went up with the 1st team. The rest of the people waited at the entrance to prevent the enemy from escaping.

Half an hour later, there were sporadic gunshots, but no large-scale gunfire, which seemed to indicate that the raid was basically successful. It was almost dark, and a team member came down from the entrance on a rope. He reported that the bandit camp had been completely controlled, with more than 20 people, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. Now you can also climb up the rope ladder.

"Okay, Wang Quan, you carry me up, and leave 8 people on duty below. Set up double light and dark sentries to give advance warnings and prohibit anyone from approaching. After he and I go up, you continue to stand guard below," Du Chenyu ordered.

"Yes, arrange it immediately," Wang Quan replied.

Wang Quan carried him on his back and climbed up the rope ladder. There were guardrails on both sides of the ladder. Although it was shaking badly, they safely reached the second step above. There was a 4-meter-high wooden ladder on top. They climbed up the ladder and found Zhou Kui was already waiting there.

"Mr. Chenyu, please slow down, it's still very dangerous here," Zhou Kui led the way.

"Is everything going well?" he asked.

"Report to Master Chenyu: After we climbed up, we found that it was behind the bandit's nest with loose defense. The special service team in front first occupied the only passage on the ridge outside. Captain He led the men down the cliff on the back mountain along the rope, and first controlled the big house near the cliff. In the house, they captured Chen Jinhu and five other main members. We were searching for the forward personnel outside, but were discovered by the secret sentry. We had no choice but to open fire and killed four bandits on the periphery after several exchanges of fire. Only then were they driven back by Chen Jinhu. We entered the bandit compound and controlled all the personnel. Report completed." Zhou Kui was behind, holding a torch and walking up the stairs, continuing to report.

"You have all worked hard and done a great job. I will commend you. Continue to maintain vigilance in the surrounding area to prevent accidents," he said.

They passed through a stone-walled mountain gate, which was brightly lit by torches everywhere. There was a small slope in front of them. Going up the slope, they saw a small mountain peak. At the foot of the cliff, there were several stone and wooden houses covered with thatch and tree bark. The houses were surrounded by a courtyard in the middle.

There were about 20 people tied up, including old men, children, and a few women. It was a little different from the bandit's den imagined, and it looked more like a few ordinary people living there.

"Mr. Chenyu, you are here. What should we do with these people now?" He Chaowu walked over.

"Let's interrogate a few leaders together first, and arrange for people to interrogate the rest as well. Those who are guilty will be kept in solitary confinement. We will stay here for one night, eat something, and make plans tomorrow morning," he ordered.

"Okay, then we will interrogate him in this meeting room," said He Chaowu.

"I am sitting next to you, and you are judging the Lord," he said.

"Bring Chen Jinhu up." We sat down on the chair in the middle of a stone house. There was a wooden board with the words "Carrying out Justice on Behalf of Heaven" written on it and hung in the middle hall. It seemed that this bandit had some ideas.

"Kneel down," two special forces members with painted faces pulled in a young man in a short-sleeved shirt. His hands were tied behind his back. He knelt on his knees after a teammate pushed him with his knees.

"Let him get up and pull up a chair for him to sit on," he said softly.

The two team members at the back pulled over a chair and asked the bandit to sit down.

"You are Chen Jinhu. Tell the truth about why you became a bandit and harmed the people. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself. Do you understand?" Du Chenyu looked at He Chaowu, who asked with a fierce look on his face.

It seems that he is still too young and lacks experience. Only people who lack confidence will speak in a ferocious and scary way, using intimidation to cover up their nervousness.

"Yes, my name is Chen Jinhu. I have not done anything illegal or criminal. We were forced to move to the mountains by the landlords. My parents died early, and in order to survive, I had no choice but to live in the mountains with a group of brothers," Hu Jinhai answered calmly, looking like a seasoned veteran.

As soon as Du Chenyu started talking, he became interested. A bandit, but he was well-spoken and looked indifferent to life and death. He Chaowu wanted to stand up and beat him up after hearing that. He glanced at He Chaowu, meaning to let him hold back and sit down.

"Don't be in a hurry. We have plenty of time. Tell me slowly how you became a bandit," he asked softly.

Chen Jinhu looked at him and paused, probably because of him: It’s a bit unbelievable to ask a three or four-year-old child questions like this.

"This is our Young Master Chenyu. He is the Wu Qu star from the sky who has descended to earth. He is a natural prodigy. Why don't you answer quickly?" He Chaowu shouted.
