At noon the next day, Dong Shuheng saw Lu Feiyan and his party off at the canal pier to board the boat and leave.
Lu Feiyan's accompanying female soldiers each carried a small bag. These girls had a half-day off in the morning and were taken by Juan'er to visit Yangzhou City. Seeing how happy they were, they probably bought a lot of things from the girl's house.
These girls were all recruited by Lu Feiyan in Huaibei. Huaibei has been troubled by bandits for so many years, and these women have suffered the most. In troubled times, they are often the targets for the rebel soldiers and bandits to vent their anger.
Later, in the process of surrendering the bandits, these female soldiers showed bravery and were not afraid of sacrifice. Every time they surrendered the bandits, they acted as if they were taking revenge. This earned them the respect of the male soldiers of the Taihang Column.
Now you have to wear cotton-padded clothes in Yangzhou. It must be even colder in the Taihang Mountains.
This road was chosen by Lu Feiyan herself. Swallows are bluebirds that fly for nine days. No swallow has ever survived in a cage. Freedom is the nutrient for a swallow's survival.
Looking at the gradually blurring figure on the bow of the ship, Dong Shuheng fell into deep thought. Did he have the potential to be a scumbag?
…
Let's go back in time and temporarily shift our attention to the desolate western foothills of the Andes Mountains. The Andes Mountains run through the north and south of South America and divide the South American continent into two halves, east and west.
But she favorably gave the vast plains in the east and abundant rain, creating the world's largest river with the largest amount of water, the second largest length, and the largest tropical rainforest.
Only a narrow and dry land was left in the west. The towering mountains locked the tropical air currents blowing from the Atlantic Ocean.
The cold current in the South Pacific locked the moisture in the Pacific Ocean, thus creating the longest desert coastline in the world.
Ma Chun and Tian Fang's family search team has been walking for three days under the leadership of Kumar.
Before leaving, Ma Chun and the others borrowed a map from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru. According to the map, the Junin area they were going to now was due west of Lima, but after entering the mountains, Kumar took them to the
north.
Ma Chun asked the translator to ask Kumar. Kumar made an excuse and said that the mountain road was difficult and there was no direct road to the Juning area, so he had to take a detour from the north.
Although different ethnic groups speak different languages, their various expressions when speaking are all consistent. For example, when lying, the eyes will wander left and right, without focus.
Looking at Kumar's expression when he explained, Ma Chun couldn't help but become suspicious. Ever since he set foot on Peruvian soil, Ma Chun began to be careful everywhere.
He not only shoulders the mission of finding the eldest young master, but also is responsible for the brothers around him.
Ma Chun told Tian Fang his suspicions. In fact, Tian Fang also had the same suspicions. He arranged for several special forces members to secretly monitor Kumar.
After camping at night, when everyone was almost asleep, Kumar left the camp after informing the sentry on the pretext of convenience.
As he walked, he looked around and felt that these Chinese people were like fools and had been kept in the dark by him.
In fact, he has brought these people to the Pasco area, where there is an Ameri gang. This gang is a larger gang in central Peru, and even the government forces can't do anything to them.
Like bandits all over the world, this gang mainly makes a living by robbing caravans passing through the Andes Mountains.
Kumar secretly came out to connect with members of this gang. These big gangs have contact points in Lima, and they usually help them find out information about government forces, and they can also help the gangs pass on information.
Many of the guards in the mines like Kumar are from gangs, so they naturally have connections with these gangs.
While in Lima, when he learned that he would lead a Chinese team, Kumar found the gang.
He told the gangster that this was a Chinese caravan carrying a large amount of fine silk, porcelain, and tea.
And he, Kumar, will lead the caravan into the agreed ambush circle.
What Kumar didn't know was that everything he said to his contact person was heard by an interpreter and a special operations team member.
A small character like him cannot detect the tracking of special forces members.
After a while, the two ended their contact, and Kumar was worried that if he stayed out for a long time, he would arouse the suspicion of the Chinese.
The translator wrote down what the two said and went back to report to Ma Chun.
The special operations team member followed the gang's contact person all the way to the gang's lair. The special operations team had often done this kind of raiding the bandit's lair in the past, and they had a lot of experience.
So the special operations team member just now thought of tracking the gang members and finding their lair immediately.
Bandits' lairs are generally relatively hidden and difficult to find if you specifically search for them. At the same time, it will also be more difficult to attack if the bandits are prepared.
The best way is to use special operations methods to carry out surprise infiltration.
Since we chose to connect here, it means that the gang's lair is not very far from Ma Chun's camp.
The special operations team member followed the gang member and only ran for half an hour before arriving at the gang's lair.
Then he returned to the camp along the same route and reported the situation to Tian Fang and Ma Chun.
"Leader Ma, why don't we take a preemptive strike and take down this gangster's lair?" Tian Fang suggested.
He had seen the equipment of the Peruvian regular army before, and speculated that the equipment of these gangs would not be any better.
Moreover, their special forces team has a complete set of methods to deal with bandits, so he is confident enough to capture the gang's lair.
"Old Tian, I'm not good at fighting. I'll listen to you in this regard. It would be great if we could get the lair of this gang. I guess the Peruvian government doesn't care much about this place. We can occupy it as a place to stay.
If the search for the young master fails, we can stay here and search slowly," Ma Chun said.
He had decided not to turn back until he found out about Dong Shutong.
In the middle of the night, more than thirty special forces members, led by Tian Fang, followed the previous special forces member and quickly advanced on the gravel-covered Andes Mountains.
They arrived at the outskirts of the gang's lair before dawn.
This is a small fortress built of stone. There is a wall about three or four meters high around it. The wall is more than one meter thick, and people can walk on it. There are four watchtowers at the four corners of the wall. There should be bandits on guard inside.
There are about twenty or thirty bungalows inside the fortress, which are also made of stone. Some houses have no roofs, and they may be used to house livestock. There are two larger houses in the middle of the fortress, one with a
The cross is obviously a church, and the other house may be the leader's house.
Tian Fang made simple arrangements and four three-person teams were assigned.
It is now three or four o'clock in the morning, and the moon hanging slanting in the sky casts a faint light, shining on the boulders everywhere around the fortress, casting long shadows.
The special operations team used the shadows of these boulders to quickly shuttle to the bottom of the wall. The height of the wall made it easy for teammates to help them climb up.
There are indeed bandits on guard in the watchtowers, but they are already fast asleep. With the discipline of a gang, we cannot expect the bandits on night watch not to sleep. Even many regular troops today cannot do this.
Especially now it is three or four o'clock in the morning, which is the time when a person is most likely to relax his vigilance and become sleepiest.
These bandits who were on sentry duty were lucky, as they had their necks wiped by the special forces in their sleep.
Tian Fang had been waiting anxiously outside. Finally he saw the four watchtowers lighting up like fireflies, which was the agreed signal.
A few people were left to guard the gate of the fortress. Tian Fang led the remaining special forces members to climb over the wall into the interior of the fortress and began to clear out the gangsters room by room.
The two team members cleared up to an open house. The stench of feces wafted from the house, but it was different from the smell of the shed where the animals were kept.
The door was bolted from the outside. The team member gently opened the bolt and pushed the door open a corner.
There were actually more than a dozen people huddled in the small room. Although it was very dim and couldn't see clearly, we could tell that some of them were black people, some were Indians, and a few of them had braids on their heads, so they were obviously Chinese.
The team members did not wake them up, but left one person to guard the place to prevent teammates from coming over and accidentally injuring the people inside.
Just after the special forces team was about to clean up the surrounding houses, an old bandit who had woken up at night noticed something strange and shouted, and the fort quickly became noisy. This was coming from the bandits who had been awakened.
Tian Fang decisively pulled out his pistol and shot the old bandit, and led his team members to quickly run towards the remaining houses.
At this time, there was no need to hide anymore. The team members directly pulled out grenades and threw them into these houses. With a "bang" sound, the house became quiet.
Suddenly, a flash of fire lit up from the second-floor window of the building in the middle, and one team member was hit in the thigh and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, several guns were aimed at the window and fired. The sound of crackling glass was heard.
Tian Fang threw a grenade at the window.
The explosion blew some pieces of furniture out of the house's windows.
"Come on!" Tian Fang ordered.
Three soldiers kicked in the door from downstairs.
Suddenly several gunshots rang out in the room.
After the gunfire ended, a soldier ran out to report that the battle was over. Tian Fang then led people into the room. He saw five or six corpses lying on the ground. These people were all gang leaders or guards. The window on the second floor was located.
A large bedroom.
A white woman fell to the ground naked, and next to her was a white man who was also naked. The murder weapon on his body was still hanging there. He seemed to be mourning his unfinished "career".
There were seven or eight women locked up in a room on the first floor, including whites and Indians. One of the team members asked Tian Fang what to do with them.
"Leave them alone and don't let them out yet. Find them some food and water first," Tian Fang ordered.
At first glance, these women were robbed by these gangsters and used as tools to vent their anger. They were all pitiful people. But the situation in the castle was not clear yet, so they could not be let out yet.
At this time, a team member reported to Tian Fang that they found slaves in the house. When Tian Fang heard that there might be Chinese workers inside, he did not dare to neglect and hurried over to understand the situation.
There were four Chinese among these dozen people. After getting to know them, Tian Fang knew that these people were all from Quanzhou Prefecture in Fujian Province and had been abducted to Peru for more than two years.
They used to work as laborers for a merchant, but later the merchant was robbed by gangs, and they were captured and made slaves.
There were six of them before, but two of them died of illness. After all, the living conditions here were too bad, and these people couldn't get treatment when they got sick.
These four people were very happy to see that their compatriots had saved them, and they felt incredible at the same time. However, they were all farm men and did not know what words to use to express their gratitude.
Tian Fang tried to find out about Dong Shutong, but none of these people could tell. They had been locked up here for a long time and had no idea about the outside news.
Tian Fang was very disappointed, but he still ordered someone to help them rescue them.
After these slaves came out, they took a shower and ate something, and then helped the special forces clean up the enemy corpses in the fortress. None of them asked to leave.
Seeing the brutal deaths of these bandits, these slaves felt that their great revenge had been avenged.
