Chapter 101: To die or to live
The deputy chief of staff is surnamed Su, so why is it the leader of the army? If I can't call him in the car, it would be so embarrassing! When I heard Lin Xiuxuan greet Chief Su, I immediately remembered it in my heart.
There are three main forces in the entire Guangdong Province for capturing Chen Mo and his gang. The first one is our so-called 5.10 task force. It happened to be the first to trigger this extremely social unstable factor in advance and was stolen. Xiao Yucheng, the guy who was idle and had nothing to do, was stolen. However, we only had three people in Tan Liaoyuan, mainly to put pressure and provide policy support. In addition to getting the documents back to ensure that there will be no leaks, we are concerned about whether these few minions who took risks, but those hostile national intelligence agencies hidden behind the scenes. So while chasing Chen Mo, we are still attacking Mingzhu; the other one is Hong Mao, Chen Anping and others in the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department. The criminals ran to their hall and yard to kill him.
Our people stole the confidential documents of important guests, beat their faces and threw them into the Mariana Trench. What's more, Chen Mo and his gang kept making trouble during their escape. Every time they committed a big case of killing people with guns, they were intolerable. Therefore, with the support of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, Hong Mao had to bring these guys to justice at all costs. Another one is our armed police force. Chen Mo and Tang Zhengshuo were their armed police. They also killed their comrades and stolen the guns from the army. The responsibility was pursued. The Guangdong Provincial Corps was under the command of the commander, and they hated Chen Mo to the core, and they just wanted to eliminate them immediately and not let them live in the world embarrassingly.
These days, Deputy Chief of Staff Su and others have been under great pressure. Now that Chen Mo and the others have been surrounded, the dawn of victory is right in front of us, so even though they are already the chief, they are still a little happy. He doesn't know the true identity of Xiao Yucheng and I. Seeing that we were both wearing police uniforms (actually, I wanted to change back to military uniforms before departure, but it was too late), Hong Mao attached more importance to us, probably because he regarded us as staff members who followed the deputy minister to supervise the war. He attached more importance to us. While watching whether our car was following the jeep leading the way, he introduced us to the latest 405 case progress.
Haifeng County is also a place known as the hometown of fish and rice. Since this is the case, there will definitely be no less water. The territory is dominated by two main rivers, Dongxi and Xixi, with crisscrossing waterways and numerous mountain ponds and reservoirs, which restricts the flow and transfer of people. The waters are used as a natural blockade, creating favorable conditions for surrounding Chen Mo and his gang in the sea breeze.
At around 4 a.m. that day, the four criminals had already rushed to the Xixi River in Tianxin Village, southwest of Lian'an Town in the night. They kidnapped the boatman Peng Yuejin, who lived at the ferry at Pengjia Ferry by the Xixi River, and forced Peng Yuejin to take a boat to send them across the river to flee north. After crossing the river, they forced Peng Yuejin and another farmer Peng Jin to lead the way for them, trying to escape from the sea breeze and rush into the depths of the mountains to hide.
But Peng Yuejin, Peng Jincai and the others took advantage of their unfamiliarity with the local terrain and could not see the environment clearly during darkness. They took them around in circles and led the way to the May Fourth Reservoir, a local medium-sized reservoir, because they knew there were also local hydropower stations and checkpoints set up by forest militias there.
As soon as the sky was dawn, I found that there was a vast area of water in front of me. I felt that the situation was wrong. The four criminals who had been fooled were angry and immediately started to commit murder. Because they were worried that the gunshot would reveal their position, they stabbed Peng Jincai to death with a knife. Peng Yuejin was more alert. After being stabbed in the back, he actually broke free from the murderer. When they did not dare to shoot, they ran away. They miraculously escaped from the four vicious criminals. The criminals were not familiar with the place and had to continue to run forward. Peng Yuejin ran 4-500 meters with pain, knocked on the door and asked for help from a nearby farmer's house, and then the villagers' house beat a gong.
The sea breeze is a place with strong folk customs and very revolutionary traditions. It was also popular back then. Many proletarian revolutionaries fought here. In one side, they were in trouble. Support from all directions was a custom that was passed down from local sources, especially the gathering of martial arts between clan forces, with rich practical experience. As a result, when the gong sounded here, it was like a message tree being pushed down when fighting the Japanese. The villages and courtyards responded, and the sound of the gong spread to all directions of the commune. It was really the sound of gongs everywhere. The members and masses of the commune took the urns and hoes. The militia who had long fired the guns gathered towards the place where the urns sounded. The entire road and the path were blocked by the members who rushed over.
After receiving the report of the criminal committing another murder, the command center immediately mobilized the surrounding armed police, and the garrison's mobile round-up forces surrounded the May Fourth Reservoir. At this time, the four criminals could not escape the sound of the gongs, and the sky was about to light up. If they lost this trust, their ugliness would have nowhere to hide, and the gongs were ringing everywhere, which made them completely panic.
They had already been fooled by the boatman Peng Yuejin. They didn't know that there was a checkpoint ahead of the road that continued to move forward. They turned an intersection and crashed into the checkpoint militia's sight. However, on one side of the road was an endless reservoir and steep rocks. The militia checkpoint was built on a cement bridge in a river with very rapid flow. It was a must-pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy and us happened to meet, three men and one woman, and they were holding weapons, so there was no need to talk nonsense, and both sides exchanged fire.
Chen Mo and his gang were like trapped beasts, desperately trying to rush through the checkpoint. Although they had skillful tactics and their shooting skills were much better than those of the militia guarding the bridge, the 12 militia guarding the bridge relied on the number of people, especially their geography and psychological advantages. They not only guarded the bridge, but also created the most favorable conditions for reinforcements to surround Chen Mo and his gang, but also injured Luo Tianjiao, forcing Chen Mo and the other four to escape to the guardhouse guarding the dam near the inspection station. When the May 4th Hydropower Station, hundreds of militia from the Youth Forest Farm and the local commune arrived, they completely surrounded Chen Mo and his gang in the guardhouse, making it difficult to fly.
However, Chen Mo and his gang were trapped in beasts and had sufficient weapons and ammunition. In addition, the guardhouse was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The militia attacked twice with a wide view. The enemy's firepower was very strong. Not only did they fail to attack, but they also injured two militias. On the one hand, they had to tightly surround them to prevent them from breaking through and running away. On the other hand, they waited for the county troops and armed police to come.
When our car drove all the way, we saw a very spectacular scene. Almost all the militias in Haifeng County were dispatched. Male militias, female militias, old militias, and young militias. Most of them were wearing their clothes when they were working and working, but some of them were able to wear work uniforms. These were generally militias from industrial and mining enterprises with good efficiency. Some were sitting in trucks for transporting goods in units, and some were standing in the commune tow.
On the plane, I saw more people shouting slogans on the way, two rows of militia walking in the road. Each team had bright red flags in front of them, and everyone was smiling and greeting each other, just like a festival. Due to the crowds on the country road, even though people were making way for our seemingly famous convoy, some even had to stand on the ridges on the side of the road, our cars still had to slow down.
What's going on? I asked Deputy Chief of Staff Su, and after Chen Mo and his gang surrounded him, there were no more people.
Their older troops were still experienced in mass movements, especially Deputy Chief of Staff Su who had been supporting the left back then. He told me that the so-called revolutionary movement is a festival for revolutionary masses. Everyone gathered together to cheer for a goal. Looking at the current situation, Haifeng County has smart people. It is probably taking this opportunity to transfer all the basic militias from all over the country. It is a matter that Haifeng County deserves to be proud of. It is a matter that Haifeng County calls everyone to join in the grand ceremony, which is very helpful for promoting the work of the whole county and uniting the hearts of the people!
After doing this, each of these people can brag about the outsiders in the future. How brave he was when he participated in the rounding up Chen Mo. Lin Xiuxuan was afraid that I didn’t understand yet, so he explained it in a more easy-to-understand way. Thinking of his grandfather always liked to talk about the wars that year, and the number of enemies he killed was always increasing, I immediately understood.
The May Fourth Reservoir is actually not far from the county town, but the road is not easy to walk, but no matter how difficult it is to walk, we have to finish it as we walk. Through a mountain, we have already heard the sound of gunfire on the other side of the mountain.
Well! Is this an attack again? It sounds like light weapons are attacking, is there any new changes in the situation?
Gunshots are orders, everyone speeded up, our driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car also speeded up.
We quickly found Hong Mao’s place, and they set up a command center on the hill opposite the guardhouse, overlooking the guardhouse and a corner of the entire May Fourth Reservoir.
The guardhouse occupied by Chen Mo and his gang was specially built by the May Fourth Reservoir in the past to prevent enemy spies and counter-revolutionaries from destroying the reservoir dam. It is divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, with a steel and concrete structure. There are posts on duty and guarding on the roof of the third floor. The entire wall is open on all sides. It is located on the high side of the south bank of the entire reservoir and is located across the water from the reservoir dam. Although the guardhouse covers an area of only about 10 square meters, there is only a thick iron door that has been tightly closed in and out.
The door of the guardhouse is facing the reservoir dam. It has the highest terrain and is surrounded by an open area. It also holds the throat of the main road entering and leaving the May Fourth Reservoir. It is really a strategic location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past, the May Fourth Reservoir had to send fully armed militias to guard the country's property and the lives of the people every day to protect the country's property and the safety of the lives of the people. However, it is estimated that in addition to shooting hares with guns and catching fish thieves, there are no such stupid spies who will think of this unknown medium-sized reservoir. Later, there was no talk of class struggle, and the guardhouse on duty was locked up by the reservoir and slowly abandoned, until it was occupied by Chen Mo's counter-revolutionary group, becoming their last bunker position to resist stubbornly. It is probably the grave for them to complete their sinful life.
I think it is more accurate to describe this bunker. With this bunker as the center, from the effective range of the Type 56 submachine gun, except for only a few fishing boats far away on the water surface and machine guns are mounted on the wooden boats, it is now roughly arranged in this way. 500-600 meters is the core force of the encirclement and the garrison troops coming. They are the most professional, at least they are already digging positions. The middle is 600-800 meters, and the armed police force is responsible for it. At least they are hiding behind the covers and waiting for orders. Away from 800 meters, there are militia armed forces everywhere and are constantly coming. Because they are no longer within the range, they are already quite revolutionary and romantic. They are talking and laughing, talking and talking and talking.
In order to deter the criminals in the encirclement and prevent them from having a moment of rest and relaxation, they are always in a tense state, and it is best to collapse by themselves, and at the same time cover the next offensive action, the command center ordered the garrison to arrange for the shooters to warn and shoot from time to time. As a result, the two militia company commanders from the May Fourth Reservoir and the Youth Forest Farm knew about it. Relying on the first time to surround Chen Mo, they tried to snatch Chen Mo and tried hard to get the job, found a suitable position, and happily arranged for their militia to shoot targets at the bunker. Chen Mo was also observing the outside at all times, and fired two shots from time to time to make people dare not get too close to the line of fire.
That's what the gunshots we heard on the road were like.
After Hong Mao led his men to arrive, he instructed the encirclement but did not attack, waiting for the next order, and the commanders and soldiers on the scene began to prepare for the battle with great enthusiasm. Everyone also understood that such a terrain was not easy to unfold. If it was a strong attack, the soldiers would sacrifice more. Now that the encirclement was already in progress, the command center was probably adjusting its weapons.
In fact, everyone was only half right. On the one hand, Hong Mao was waiting for the troops to transfer heavy weapons to prepare for the attack, and on the other hand, he was waiting for our arrival. Although he was rude to us, the special commissioners, he completely respected and unconditionally executed the orders for the national tasks we shouldered. So when he saw Xiao Yucheng and I arrived in time, he was relieved. After personally leading us to observe and grasp the entire situation and deployment, he shouted everyone else away, and then asked us two of us, the most important question he cared about at this moment and the most important thing here:
Do you want to die or live?!
This is a very simple question and a very complex question. Whether to die or live, survive or destroy. Shakespeare once asked Hamlet. Now Hong Mao asked me, but I don’t know how to answer it at once.
If the enemy dies, the warriors will live; if the enemy lives, the warriors will die.
But our work decisions are to die or live well? Of course, we need to make a decision better than death, whether it is worth it or not, we need to make a decision as soon as possible.
I said we had to discuss it. Hong Mao agreed and hoped that we would make a decision sooner and then walked away. After 5 minutes, I came to Hong Mao. Whether it was alive or dead, it didn't matter, but one of us had to be the first person to enter the bunker. Only after we went to see it, otherwise we could not move anything there.
Hong Mao nodded at us with satisfaction, and looked at us with more recognition and kindness. Xiao Yucheng and I finally chose the one who was going to die. This choice is a very dangerous thing for us, because living will mean more possibilities and opportunities, while dying can only leave it to fate.
Then, the command center immediately held a meeting to analyze the terrain around the bunker and studied and formulated a battle plan to solve the besieged enemies. According to the reports of the officers and soldiers on the scene, the criminals resisted stubbornly in the bunker and shot out from time to time. From this, they judged that they knew that they were still struggling to death after being surrounded and resisted stubbornly to the end. Therefore, the command center believed that it was necessary to follow the instructions of the Ministry of Public Security and the Provincial Party Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People's Republic of China, and first of all, they must strive to capture alive. If the criminals refuse to surrender, they will be resolutely annihilated.
There was also an episode here. Several leaders of the Guangdong Provincial Armed Police Corps led the armed police officers and soldiers on the scene to ask the command center for battle at the meeting, and requested the command center to hand over the task of eliminating Chen Mo's counter-revolutionary group assists to the armed police force, so that the armed police force could avenge the previous shame and pay back the blood debt with blood. The command center leaders discussed and agreed to their request!
When the roundup was rounded up, everyone was equipped with light weapons. Now if they attacked with strong attacks, they would not be useful. They could only adjust heavy weapons from the rear.
The first ones were transported were heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns from the arsenal of the commune militia battalion, and then the 65 mortars and 40 rockets were being transported here from the county armed forces department arsenal. Haifeng probably only had these guys and steers.
If you want to see something more powerful, you have to think of a way from a distance, which will take longer. For example, in Zhanjiang City, it is a main shooting range and exercise area of the southern troops, such as anti-aircraft guns, ground guns, rocket launchers, etc., but there is also a way to get faster. It is to use the radio station brought by Lin Xiuxuan and others to take a strong five, and then two aircraft bombs will fly over and throw them over the bunkers. Then the whole world will be quiet, but what we are looking for is that we can't even find a little bit of shit.
So, don’t worry, let heavy weapons take turns to take turns to beat Chen Mo and the others, and when will the end?
According to the command of the command, the armed police force selected the launch location, and after doing their best, they began to level the ground and build positions. The militia's heavy machine gun was transported. This gun was relatively old, with protective shields and small wheels. Everyone is already very familiar with it in the movie "Shangganling". It was a Soviet-made Soviet Guoliunov SG437.62mm heavy machine gun that participated in the resistance to U.S. aggression and aid Korea. This one has wheels, dragging it quickly, has strong firepower, and has good protection. It can be fired on the rack. Therefore, the armed police can fight. Relying on the advantage of range, they lie on the ground and start pulling the trigger. Killing boxes of bullets is the first to win, and the first shot of the attack was fired.
Then the 12.7mm Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun also arrived. This requires a tripod, which is very powerful when fired flat. When fighting monkeys, monkeys like to use this thing to shoot flat to block the defense line, which has caused quite a lot of trouble to our army. I just don’t know if the militia battalion in this place is equipped with armor-piercing bombs. If there are, there will probably be no chance for the artillery tribe to play.
Unfortunately, after a while, there was a counterattack in the bunker.
The next specific combat deployment is: the machine gun companies of the armed police forces took turns to fight. First, the machine gun companies that were responsible for the frontal blockade mission used heavy weapons, fired fiercely at the bunkers from both sides, carried out fire reconnaissance, and then launched a political offensive to shout and persuade the criminals to surrender; if they refused to surrender, they immediately used mortars to destroy the steel and concrete walls and roofs on both sides of the bunkers, and then under the cover of full fire of light and heavy weapons, they used multiple 40 rockets to attack the gun holes and artillery gaps, and finally sent an assault team to enter the indoor attack and wipe out the enemy; at the same time, the command center also decided that before the battle started, the local government organized the surrounding people to retreat to the effective range of the enemy's guns and bullets to ensure the safety of the people's lives.
According to the command of the command, the participating troops immediately carried out the next pre-war preparations. The machine gun company quickly set up 82 mortars on the side of the channel 500 meters east of the bunker, and 40 rocket shooters were also ready to be in place.
At 10:08 am, the battle to encircle and annihilate the general offensive finally started. The pursuit troops opened fire together with their light and heavy weapons, and fired violently at the bunkers occupied by Chen Mo and his gang. The shooting stopped for a while, and the officers and soldiers of the pursuit troops shouted and persuaded to surrender, but the criminals still resisted stubbornly.
So the command center decisively ordered the firing of artillery, and four shells accurately hit the predetermined target, blew two large holes on the wall of the bunker. Immediately afterwards, the officers and soldiers of the pursuit troops used 40 rockets to shoot violently into the hole.
In order to end the battle as soon as possible, the command headquarters ordered the mortars to shoot out all the shells brought by them. At the same time, the assault team continued to fire rockets into the room, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere. Under the suppression of my strong firepower, the opponent's resistance became silent.
In the smoke of gunpowder, two assault groups detoured near the large hole shot out by the mortar shell, fired inward, and threw several grenades. Then the assault groups entered the room and found that all four criminals had been killed. Then, I rushed into the bunker first, and I flipped into the bunker from a fairly complete bag pressed by Chen Mo to the top secret file bag with the national emblem printed with the jade and returned it to Zhao. Chen Mo did not wake up before he died. This thing could bring him wealth and honor in the future, but the destruction and death came earlier and more urgent than wealth and honor.
Later, after the battlefield was cleared, two Type 56 submachine guns, four Type 54 pistols, more than 800 bullets, and the "oath" of the counter-revolutionary group were seized. The battle took 1 hour and 5 minutes in total.
As for file bags, what that is, no one has ever seen it, nor has anyone heard of it!
Chapter completed!
