Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 342: Capture the town
"Yanzi, there are only more than 200 of them. It is impossible to guard the several hills behind here. After dinner, let's go to the mountains behind to have a look and try to draw the blueprint of this defense."

"Well, with so many mountains, there must be opportunities everywhere. I will accompany my senior brother to have a look later."

As long as it was an adventure, Liang Yan was eager to try it. The two of them found a small shop with not many people there. When they came in, the other two tables had already started eating. There were only two people in the shop, the boss and a little girl. When they saw the two come in and sit down, the boss quickly came over to greet them.

There was nothing good. Apart from a lot of unknown vegetables, there were only two meat dishes. One was fried bacon of unknown origin, and the other was unknown lumpy vegetables stewed with chicken. There were only a few pieces of meat. The soup is quite filling.

I ordered two meat dishes and some rice made from various grains. The taste was not terrible. It seemed that the boss had some cooking skills.

"Boss, your accent sounds like you came from the east, right? What's your surname, boss?"

"Bai Zixin's surname is Yang, from Dali." The old man bent down and replied with a smile.

Bai Zi is what the Bai people call themselves. Zhu Xuefeng nodded, but he didn't expect that he actually met someone running towards him.

"The Yang family in Dali? What's your surname? Why do you stay here? It's much worse than Dali."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Baizi came here following the regiment leader over there. As a result, his family property was robbed by those people who deserved to be killed. His son contracted an illness and died on the way, so he had to settle down here. In the past few years, he has relied on his craftsmanship. Let’s make a living.”

"My brothers and their leaders are in urgent need of help. I'll go with them. The troops are in chaos and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Indeed, there are quite a few. These people should have been captured by them, and they are all being held captive with guns."

Liang Yan's eyes were full of stars, "Senior brother, let's take one car each. I can do it too."

...

After chatting with the enthusiastic boss for a while, I learned that there are four major villages nearby, and the mining area behind them is strictly controlled. All stone purchases can only be made on this street.

"It's been several years, and I've long since faded away. I think I look like a dock worker. This guy's body is..."

"Senior brother, you look more like you have traveled around the world than me. You can chat with anyone."

Liang Yan nodded and agreed very much. The two tanks were stuck in the throat. Even if they launched an attack from the mining area, they would be stuck and could not get around.

Watching groups of miners being escorted back to the camp, it was almost dark.

"Senior brother, do you have any ideas?"

"Homalin, Bai Zi has only been here for a few years, but it's far away. I don't know what medicinal materials are available, so I can't help you brother."

"Oh, we came here too. We usually do some things in Mizina. This time we want to go to Homalin to collect some medicinal materials."

Zhu Xuefeng said with a smile, "Then what do you think we should do? If we go down the mountain and have to come back later, I'll wait for dark and walk through the mining area. We must get rid of this tank, otherwise many people will die. Human.”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to say that you're sad." Zhu Xuefeng looked apologetic.

There are also many observation posts arranged on the mountain, but they are all avoiding the scorching sun. There are almost no one on duty, which makes the two of them relaxed. Looking from top to bottom, all the defensive firepower points on the surface of the mining area are exposed in front of them.

"Senior brother, there must be too many people mining. I counted them, and they are estimated to be no less than three hundred."

"Think about it, this tank is parked here and it's so sunny. There must be no one guarding it. Let's go over there and get rid of all the ammunition inside. Then haha..."

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, "Junior sister, you don't want me to be detained in the tank and let people catch turtles in the jar. You have to watch me outside. Besides, the shells of this tank are heavy. It will be too difficult for you to do it. If something happens, A movement..."

Zhu Xuefeng was squinting his eyes to rest, and Liang Yan asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, it's too hard for us to keep hiding like this until night. Look, it's still very early for it to get dark today. "

"Isn't there nothing we can do? Ask more and get some information. Let's go, let's go up the mountain."

Finally at night, the two of them rule the roost at this time. No one can notice the two figures sneaking into the defense area. Only the guards guarding the miners in the camp are more serious. After all, they are locking up hundreds of people, and everything else is very lax.

"You've got it all done now, it's too fast."

Liang Yan, who was watching, was startled when she saw Zhu Xuefeng suddenly appeared.

"Get it, this thing will definitely not be able to fight by then. We have to retreat quickly and capture this place before they find out."

...

"Chief, you are telling us to set out overnight and capture this place as soon as possible."

When the two came back overnight, it was already past two o'clock in the morning. Liang Yan had had enough fun. It was not difficult to learn this thing. She got started quickly and she could become proficient after riding it for a while.

"Yes, we took away the artillery shells from the tank, but we don't know if there are any artillery shells elsewhere, so we have to take them down as soon as possible. It will be difficult if we wait for them to find out."

Zhu Xuefeng had a way to steal the tank back, but after thinking about it, he chose to steal the shells, at least it would be easier to explain.

"Emergency assembly!" A sharp whistle sounded. In the darkness, the team was quickly gathering. It was indeed well-trained and worthy of being the strongest light infantry on the surface.

It didn't take long, and the team set off overnight. Four personnel carriers and four tanks were dispatched. Except for a few family members on duty, all combatants and most of their family members were dispatched.

The tank has not tried to fire yet, but as long as it is pulled over, it will be a deterrent. Who knows whether you can fire accurately.

At close to five o'clock in the morning, the station was found to be surrounded by four tanks and armored vehicles. The tanks in the camp could not find the artillery shells, and everything was in chaos.

Song Yan held the firepower layout map drawn by Zhu Xuefeng and arranged the attack. When the firepower points were cleared, everything was settled, and the remaining sporadic resistance did not pose any threat.

The tactical literacy of these dozens of people is really good. Looking at them working in groups, they can easily clear the firepower points, and there is no need for rocket launchers at all.

"Captain, we are surrounded by a team that appears out of nowhere."

"Have you seen who it is? Is it the nearby stockade or the ZF army?"

"It's not bright enough to see clearly, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Judging from the color of the clothes and the look of the flag, it looks a bit like the JF Army."

The group leader was obviously startled, but quickly calmed down and slapped him.

"Fuck you, they can't go deep, otherwise I would have been destroyed long ago. Let's go and see who it is. By the way, where is the tank? Why didn't I hear the tank fire?"

"Captain, there are no shells in the tank."

"Damn it, isn't it just a piece of shit if you don't fire the shells? Who is so lazy? I will kill him when the fight is over. Mader, hurry up and send the shells over." "The road leading to the tank is suppressed by their firepower. Stay, they came with four tanks and four armored vehicles, there is nothing we can do."

Looking at the dejected adjutant, the leader was also a little frightened. What kind of team was this? They were so arrogant, and their firepower was much stronger than his own.

"Pack your things and let's evacuate."

"We are surrounded and cannot evacuate."

At this moment, there were a lot less gunshots outside, and a harsh charge horn sounded.

"It's over, it's over, why are there JF troops here? Didn't they say they are not allowed to go deep? This is so far to the west, and they are coming here. Forget it, surrender quickly, they won't kill the prisoners."

In less than an hour, the battle was resolved. Looking at Wu Yangyang's prisoners, Song Yan calmly ordered.

"Everyone is disarmed and imprisoned, all entrances and exits of the town are blocked, and all stubborn resisters are eliminated."

"Boss, what to do with these prisoners? There are hundreds of miners, and more than twenty robbed women."

"These people are all laborers. The most lacking thing in this place is population. There are plenty of these people for local use. The prisoners can be used as coolies first. They can be processed after screening. The women can be deported. If they are willing to stay, they can also help you with construction. , the miners must also be screened, paid, restored to freedom, and those who are willing to stay should be kept.”

"Arrange inventory and interrogation immediately. My task has been completed. I will leave with Liang Yan in two days and return to the capital. You must run the place well."

"There are many big forces nearby, but there are no large-scale armed forces. We have inquired and found that the largest force came with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago. After hundreds of years of reproduction, they still consider themselves Chinese. It can be said that Unite them.”

Song Yan took people to make arrangements. There were many chores, including clearing out the remnants, setting up defenses, taking over the town, counting the seizures, and settling the prisoners and miners. Fortunately, according to Zhu Xuefeng's suggestion, many family members came and could help. Quite busy.

"Report to the leader that a secret room has been found. The squad leader asked me to take you there."

Entering the mine owner's bedroom in the backyard, the cabinet in the back corner and the safe next to the cabinet and several boxes were open, and several people were counting the seizures.

"Chief, this guy is really fat. With these, our supplies later will be easier to handle."

"There must be a place to buy it, especially weapons, ammunition and food. You can't buy these things in this area."

After taking a look, I found some US dollars, some Hong Kong dollars, a large number of kyats, a pile of large yellow croakers, and several boxes of various jewelry.

"Why are there so many scattered gold jewelry?"

Zhou Dayong hurriedly reported, "They said they snatched them all along the way, and those who were not gold were rewarded."

"These scumbags!"

When he came to the secret room, the door had been opened. Looking at the various jadeite rough stones that looked like a small mountain, each piece had been simply processed. Zhu Xuefeng was a little dizzy. It took a long time to accumulate.

Thinking about the wealth in the bedroom, this guy is really good at robbing, escaping and robbing all the way, and he has built such a huge net worth, he is really a powerful person.

With so much ore, part of it should have been sold. Is this pit so good at shipping? This should be regarded as countless small goals in future generations.

It is estimated that the international jade price has not risen now, and the market for gambling on rough stones will only become popular in a few years, so there are so many jade stones.

"Report", Li Xiaojun ran from outside the yard, interrupting Zhu Xuefeng's thoughts with a greeting.

"The mine owner has already recruited him! He's still a major!"

The major's surname was Gao. He was originally Li Mi's subordinate. The troops were scattered. When they ran over, there were only more than 200 people left. The other troops fled directly to the south. They made a mistake in the direction and ran off the wrong road to get here by mistake. .

Major Gao is a man who knows the goods. When he saw the jade mining area, he defeated them in one go. The key is that their weapons were much stronger than the local armed forces. Then they occupied the place and refused to leave. Even with the fierce firepower of these 200 people, no one dared Provoked, jumped in here, and became the emperor of the earth.

These people were probably the early prototypes of the later fraud gangs, and indeed they took root very early.

The miners were all released and concentrated in the camp. There were 334 people in total. They were all captured by the mine owners and the original miners. They were all locals. The captured women were also counted and of them were from nearby areas.

The seizures were also concentrated, including two King Tiger heavy tanks, bought from Germany before World War II, two heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, various long and short guns, countless ammunition, explosives, and grenades. It is estimated that the truck cannot load them. There are countless cans, grain, oil, four trucks, two jeeps, four three-wheeled motorcycles, and more than ten Yunnan horses.

His mobility is very good, no wonder he was able to escape at that time.

The property seized totaled more than 68 U.S. dollars, large yellow croakers, more than Hong Kong dollars, and more than million kyats. Well, yes, with these, Xiangjiang can move faster.

"Boss, our current weapons and ammunition, plus the ones captured this time, can arm nearly 600 people, and now we have captured so much food and supplies, can we expand the team?"

"You can discuss this among yourselves. My suggestion is not to expand too much. Stabilize the situation first, recruit from the common people, and strictly screen the prisoners, and use them as little as possible."

Song Yan nodded. It is indeed not easy for the team to expand wildly. The people here have not yet surrendered, but the territory has suddenly grown so much. There used to be only one camp, but now it is the entire town.

"Didn't we seize a few radio stations? We can contact Mizina in time in the future. There are many places for farming there and it is close to home. It is a contact point that must be guarded."

"To the southwest is Homalin, to the south is Jiesha, and beyond that are Mogok and Mandele. According to the major's confession, there should be more of their forces. We must be prepared for these."

"Well, you go make arrangements. We'll have a meeting to discuss it later, and then I have to go back."

Song Yan was also very distressed. There were so many things going on here, unlike the past where he had to deal with intelligence and fights. He had to take care of many things, but his boss was very pressed for time and kept saying he was leaving, which made him very stressed.

Zhu Xuefeng also noticed that he was in trouble and smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Song, there is nothing difficult to handle. Isn't it just a shortage of talents? Choose among the family members and recruit some locally. When a few big families contact you and conquer them, there will definitely be no shortage of people. This is the early stage. Later, I will recruit various talents outside."

With his boss in charge, Song Yan felt at ease and let an investigation platoon leader handle administrative management. It was too difficult for him, and Zhu Xuefeng had no choice. Someone he trusted had to be placed in this position.

According to Zhu Xuefeng's current thinking, Xiangjiang is responsible for making money and conducting research in the later stage. The domestic research is mainly on research, and it also serves as the rear area. From now on, this area will be a refuge and a political entity.

With this, you can have the status to talk to the higher-ups about many things. Of course, you don't have to come forward on your own. Since you have been staying in the capital, you don't have the capital to talk to others.

For example, if the space is full of national treasures, there must be a way to send them back. This place is a good ladder.

Zhu Xuefeng had to plan and take care of all this, so the mainland could not give up. This role could only be played by Zhu Xuefeng himself.

Of course, no one knows this idea now. Zhu Xuefeng is playing a game of chess according to his own ideas.
