1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 885 Chase in the Mountains
Wang Jialin's four subordinates touched the beach in the middle of the night, and found that there seemed to be a campfire that was about to be extinguished on the beach in the distance.Although these people were a little scared, they still planned to find out who was spending the night at the beach.However, their professional quality is obviously far inferior to that of the trained special warfare battalion soldiers. They were found when they were 50 meters away from the camp. We solved it together.

At first, these people didn't know who they were being attacked by, but when they saw the colorful military uniforms of their opponents, they knew that this time they were unlucky to run into the elite of the Haihan militia.Before Haihan started to attack Zhoushan last month, they had already heard from those who escaped from the southern islands that there was a group of soldiers in the Haihan militia wearing green flower uniforms who were very good at fighting. Unstoppable.When Riding Haibao was breached by the Haihan militia, this group of people did not fight their opponents at all. Before the city was broken, they fled into the mountains with Daliu.

Just one face-to-face is one death and three injuries. This kind of terrible fighting power makes the captive who survived by chance have no intention of continuing to fight. The two of them confided everything they know like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

Due to the limited strength of the Haihan militia, the current degree of control over the northern coast of Zhoushan Island is not high. After the defeat of the Zhoushan Ship Gang in Dinghai Bay, only the Haihan fleet implemented a maritime blockade of this area from the sea. Ships banned from going to sea.Wang Jialin planned to find a boat from here to go out to sea at night. Daishan Island, which is only two hours away to the north, has not yet fallen under the control of the Haihan people. As long as he can escape there, he has a chance to make a comeback.

But Wang Jialin also knew that the Haihan people did not relax their vigilance. He had already seen the opponent's methods. It was a great fortune to escape from Dinghai Port the day before yesterday. Instead, he sent his men to the sea to find a boat.But he himself was huddled in the mountains, waiting for the results of the reconnaissance ahead.But when the gunshot rang out, he must have been shocked, and he was afraid that he would have retreated into the mountains with his people by this time.

Although the two captives also explained the location of their hiding place in the mountains, Wang Jialin is old and cunning, and he probably wouldn't just stay at the original station and wait for the Haihan militia to find him, even if he set off immediately and wanted to It wasn't easy to catch him either.

Sun Zhen was very annoyed by the shot he fired, if it wasn't for this reckless move, maybe he wouldn't have scared the snake.He thought that he could subdue these four guys in a short period of time even if he only relied on his fist skills, but at that time his head got hot for some reason and he fired a shot first.

However, the platoon leader felt that Sun Zhen's reaction at the time was understandable. In the face of many enemies, of course, he should bring down the opponent in the safest possible way and make them lose their combat effectiveness to ensure their own safety.Obviously he has a rifle in his hand but doesn’t use it, and Takahashi Minami will definitely be scolded if he finds out about it afterwards—although Takahashi Minami often abandons his rifle and only uses a katana as his main weapon, he still strictly follows the military code of conduct. They never leave their guns.

As for the bandit leader Wang Jialin who might have escaped because of this, the platoon leader believed that since he was found in the mountains this time, it would be impossible for him to escape again.After all, the other name of the special warfare battalion is the mountain battalion. This mountain forest is the combat environment that the special warfare battalion is best at, and the sea is fine.

Soon the other three platoons stationed nearby also rushed over one after another. After hearing the news, several officers summed it up, and they couldn't wait for dawn. A group of people immediately set off from the beach where they were stationed to the inland forest. Sun Zhen Nature is in it too.Thinking about the fact that Wang Jialin, the bandit leader, might be hiding not far away when he did the attack just now, Sun Zhenxin also held his breath and vowed to catch this old fox who had escaped from Haihan several times in the forest.

Since the two sane prisoners were beaten by Sun Zhen and lost their ability to move, it was impossible to arrange them to lead the way.Fortunately, when they entered the mountain to suppress the bandits, they brought two Zhoushan local guides, and they knew where the captives were talking about, so they led the soldiers from the special warfare battalion into the mountain in the dark.

After all this tossing, it was already past four o'clock in the morning. As soon as the team entered the mountain forest, the sky was already a little bright, which saved the trouble of lighting the torches to illuminate the road.The hiding place given by the two captives was only four or five miles away from the Haihan camp. The team marched all the way there in a hurry, and arrived in just over half an hour.

However, as expected, Wang Jialin, who had already become a frightened bird, would not just wait for the Haihan soldiers to catch him, and led people to evacuate the temporary residence long ago.But with so many people walking around in the mountains and forests, it was almost impossible to completely hide their whereabouts. Soon the scouts found a large number of stampede marks nearby, which should have been left by the gangsters when they hurriedly evacuated.

It took less than two hours between the dispatch and the special warfare battalion to arrive here. Even if the gangsters ran fast, their speed in the mountains and forests would be extremely limited.At present, the pursuers were divided into three groups: left, middle and right, each separated by about a mile, and chased along the direction in which the bandits were fleeing.

After Qian Tiandun established the special warfare unit, he trained every soldier in the special warfare battalion as a scout. When Sun Zhen first entered the special warfare battalion, one of the training subjects he received was tracking and anti-tracking .And the various experiences he has learned from the veterans are now in great use, such as how to spot the mottled footprints in the forest, how to identify the false traces laid by the escapees, and how to spot the footprints from the frightened birds in the forest. The position determines the approximate escape route of the opponent and so on.Of course, the most important thing is that in this kind of wild environment, you can judge your position and direction of travel based on the surrounding environment without using tools. If you don't even know where you are, it will be difficult to talk about tracking targets.

After an hour of pursuit south, the special operations battalion found further traces.There are a large number of messy footprints near a mountain spring, and the moisture in the footprints has not yet dried out, which is obviously left behind.At this moment, the spirits of the soldiers came up, and they immediately let go of their feet and continued to chase south.

After chasing for about two miles, the people at the front had spotted figures in the forest in front of them, and they were heading southeast.However, because the trees blocked the line of sight, it was difficult to clearly see the number of this group of people and the equipment on their bodies, and it was difficult to judge the identity of the other party for a while.But if it is mountain people hunting and chopping firewood in the mountains, it is unlikely that they will adopt such a group posture.

"They are planning to go to the village below Keziling." The leading party gave a relatively clear judgment: "Only Keziling can get supplies nearby, and then they can go to the seaside through the col between Changchunling and Pingshiling. It is only a few miles away from Xiushan Island on the opposite side, and there are several small islands in the middle, people with good water skills can swim there without a boat."

"They can't go anywhere!" The officer leading the team would no longer let the target slip away from his nose, and immediately ordered all personnel to enter a combat state.

The Special Operations Battalion did not rush to emerge from the forest, but patiently waited for the group of bandits to enter the mountain village in front of them, and then quietly killed them, blocking several main access passages from the outside.This village is only a dozen miles away from Dinghai Bay in the south. The people in the village are more or less related to the Zhoushan Boat Gang, and even many families have members who work in the Zhoushan Boat Gang, but they are not aware of Haihan's arrival. What obvious protest measures should be taken, and Haihan is currently focused on commercial development, and has no energy to deal with these corners for the time being.

This group of people did not stay in the village for too long, and soon reappeared at the entrance of the village, and a bald old man surrounded by the crowd was particularly eye-catching, and there was no need to compare the portraits. The two leading parties confirmed this. The man was Wang Jialin, the leader of the Zhoushan Ship Gang.

Now that the target has appeared, it is time to close the net.With an order, all the ambushing personnel appeared, forming a huge encirclement circle around the periphery.The other party obviously also immediately realized that the situation was not good, and Wang Jialin reacted quickly enough. With a shout, everyone fled in all directions, trying to escape the siege by dispersing and fleeing.But they probably miscalculated a little bit, the special warfare battalion didn't intend to catch all of them alive, seeing these guys trying to escape, they immediately opened fire.

Even if these people can grow two more legs, it is impossible for them to run past the bullets. With the sound of gunshots, there is a sound of howling ghosts and wolves.This group of gangsters was only a hundred or so in total, and it was not easy to break through the encirclement set up by nearly [-] Haihan soldiers with live ammunition.Fortunately, the soldiers in the special warfare battalion were worried that stray bullets would hit their comrades who were encircling in another direction, so they aimed at relatively low points. Almost all the people who were shot were shot in their legs and feet, and fell to the ground, rolling around and wailing. , but it won't die for a while.

The rest of the people saw that the situation was not good, so they could only retreat into the village from the entrance of the village.But now it is difficult to retreat in and think out again, it has completely become a situation of catching a turtle in a urn.The Special Operations Battalion calmly counted the prisoners outside the village, gathered them up and put them under custody, and then entered the village in groups to start the search.

Wang Jialin was not among the captives captured outside the village, so his only place to go was to hide somewhere in the village.But now that the Special Operations Battalion has confirmed that he is hiding here, the search is extremely careful, not even the pigsty, latrine, stove, and roof are missed.

Sun Zhen and two comrades entered a villager's house, rummaged through boxes and cabinets but found nothing, and when they were about to leave, Sun Zhen caught a glimpse of the water tank in the yard that seemed to have been moved.Sun Zhen walked to the water tank and stood still, gently supporting the edge of the water tank with his hand, and seeing that the face of the head of the household had turned gray, he immediately guessed that there was a problem here.

"Old Qi, go and call someone over." Sun Zhen greeted another comrade in arms, the man saw that his serious face did not seem to be joking, so he hurried to the gate of the yard and shouted, and soon seven or eight people rushed over.

"Everyone work together to move this water tank!"

After Sun Zhen finished speaking, he walked to the gate of the yard, grabbed the door panel, shook it left and right, and forcibly tore it down in one piece: "This thing is just used as a shield!"

Sun Zhen erected the door panel in the direction where the water tank opened, and sure enough, as soon as everyone exerted their strength, a gap appeared between the water tank and the ground, and then three short arrows shot out from the gap, "Aggressive!" "With a few bangs, it was nailed to the door panel held by Sun Zhen.It's just that the arrow didn't have enough momentum, but it failed to penetrate the door.

"Don't shoot, catch the alive!" Sun Zhen was not surprised by this, but stopped his comrades who were about to shoot at the cracks in the ground.

Holding the door panel, Sun Zhen approached slowly, and said in a loud voice: "The people in the cave can hear you clearly, if you want to die, it's very easy, the military master will fulfill you right away! If you want to live, just hold your hand honestly." Throw out the weapons in the tank, don't play tricks! Otherwise, the military master will move the water tank back, fill it with stones, and bury you alive in this hole! Say! Want to die or want to live!"

The person hiding in the cave was silent for a while, and finally choked out two words: "I want to live..." After saying that, he stuffed a small repeating crossbow and a seven-inch long dagger through the exposed gap out.

Sun Zhen didn't care about this, and continued to say loudly: "Put your hands to the hole, and let me see your two hands!"

Just as the two hands stretched out from the hole, someone on the left and right had already tied them with ropes, and then quickly tightened them. Then the rest of the people moved the water tank aside, and when they looked again, there was indeed a person squatting in the hole. The bald old man looked exactly like Wang Jialin.

Sun Zhen lifted him out of the cave, and saw that there was solid soil inside, and there were no other organs. It was just an ordinary cave for storing pickles and rice wine in the farmhouse, not a place specially dug out for hiding.Presumably this Wang Jialin was also chased anxiously, so he had to choose such an inappropriate hiding place.But if he wanted to rely on this hole to escape the search and arrest of the special warfare battalion, he was really thinking too much. Even if Sun Zhen didn't find him out this time, the officer in charge of this operation would definitely not leave here easily. It will turn the whole village upside down.

Several people pressed the bald old man back on the ground and asked repeatedly: "What's his name? Tell me!"

"Wang... Jialin..."

"Now you have made great achievements again, kid!" The platoon leader who just rushed over patted Sun Zhen on the shoulder enviously: "This is the person General Qian named to capture him alive. Good luck, kid!"

Sun Zhen smiled shyly and said: "This is also the leadership of the platoon leader, and the credit is of course the platoon leader!"

"Don't do this!" The platoon leader didn't take her tricks at all, and waved his hands and said, "If I were greedy for military merits, I wouldn't stay in the army as a platoon leader. I would have gone to the Sanya Military Academy as an instructor a long time ago." Hurry up and tie this guy up, and watch closely so that no accident happens to him!"
