Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 543 The Strength of Young Master Mo!

"Da da da da..."

"boom!"

"boom!"

Gunshots and explosions rang out at the bridgehead, interspersed with cries of innocent civilians.

In an instant, flames erupted and thick smoke filled the air, plunging the Bago River Bridge into chaos.

The anti-government militants, like swarms of locusts, charged forward, using the densely packed vehicles at the bridgehead as cover to continuously fire at the bridge.

Innocent civilians who tried to run back were driven back by machine guns that had been set up.

"Da da da da..."

The dozen or so civilians who were running at the front fell into pools of blood like crops cut down by a sickle.

At the gate at the bridgehead, government forces set up roadblocks and returned fire.

The sudden attack caught them off guard, but fortunately, a large number of civilians acted as a buffer, which reduced their risk of being attacked.

Just moments later, the government forces at the bridgehead erected all the roadblocks, and piled up cement blocks on the side of the bridge.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides engaged in a fierce firefight.

"Da da da da..."

The gunfire was so intense it sounded like a torrential downpour hitting the river.

Because it was nighttime, the bullets fired all flashed.

Hundreds of innocent civilians hid on both sides of the bridge, while others hid among cars as cover.

But if you hide in the east, you can't hide in the west; you were hit directly by a bullet and fell to the ground.

One of the mothers, holding her child, hid in front of the car, while her husband was not far away, watching as the anti-military personnel advanced from the other side of the bridge.

The husband suddenly ran over, and a bullet hit him directly in the head, which exploded like a watermelon.

His body was hidden next to his wife, who tried to pull him away, but the bullets outside the car were too dense.

At that moment, she suddenly heard a voice calling out to her in Burmese.

"Get under the car, quick!"

The woman turned her head and saw a government soldier hiding behind a concrete block, shouting at her.

The two sides were about twenty meters apart. The soldier was young and was holding a gun, firing at the other side.

"Da da da da..."

Upon hearing his words, the woman quickly grabbed the child in her arms and crawled under the car.

As soon as she went inside and looked up, a shell landed behind the concrete roadblock.

"boom!"

A dazzling spark was reflected in her eyes, followed by thick smoke.

The gunshots never stopped, just like the pounding of her heart.

When the smoke cleared, the young soldier who had told him to hide under the car was found dead outside the concrete roadblock, his body only half-destroyed.

Meanwhile, civilian vehicles in the middle of the bridge were severely congested because several armored vehicles were advancing from the other side of the bridge, and government troops were also gathering in this direction.

Everyone on the bus got off and started running towards the other side of the bridge.

Qian Baishan and his group were no exception. The seven men protected Cai Xiaojing, Qiao Xue, and Lin Chen in the middle, running while looking back.

The Bago River Bridge is 1200 meters long, and they are located in the middle of the bridge.

Because government forces were clearing vehicles from the bridge, they had to move to the right. On the right side of the bridge, illuminated by artillery fire, a dozen civilians climbed onto the bridge railing and jumped off the bridge without hesitation.

"Falling from that height, won't you die?" Qian Baishan was terrified.

Chachai replied, "Not jumping won't save you from death."

Qian Baishan's face turned ashen, and he stopped speaking, tightly guarding the three female comrades beside him.

This is war, this is fucking war! He kept repeating to himself.

Fortunately, the government forces did not stop them, nor did they have the time or energy to do so.

Qian Baishan and his group of ten ran to the other side of the bridge.

Gunfire continued, interspersed with occasional explosions.

Immediately, a deafening sound rang in their ears, and the bridge beneath their feet trembled as if an earthquake had struck.

The crowd that was running immediately stopped and looked back to see thick smoke rising from the bridge, obscuring the sky.

Then, the bridgehead gate suddenly broke, and the bridge deck collapsed.

"Holy crap, the bridge is broken!" Qian Baishan was completely stunned.

Not only him, but Cai Xiaojing, Qiao Xue, and Lin Chen also stared blankly at the huge plume of smoke.

Lin Chen's mouth dropped open, he was covered in sweat, too shocked to speak.

Qiao Xue clutched her chest, swallowed hard, and said, "We almost didn't make it."

Chatchai sighed and said, "It's the KNU anti-government forces. Their goal is to blow up the bridge and slow down the government army's advance."

Cai Xiaojing's face was ashen, and she clutched the satellite phone tightly in her hand, muttering, "Luo Rui and the others aren't coming."

Chachai nodded: "They can only take another route."

"go!"

Cai Xiaojing turned around, gritted her teeth, and put the chaos behind her to the back of her mind. She now had only one belief: to find someone to go in and rescue Luo Rui.

It was already late at night, and the west bank was just beyond the bridge.

This place is administratively under the jurisdiction of Bago City and is located in the industrial zone of Bago City.

At this moment, the government army armored regiment stationed here is assembling on the bridge.

More than an hour later, Cai Xiaojing and her group walked to the town center.

Dengchai suggested, "It's not safe now. A curfew must have been imposed. KNU can't fight their way over. Shall we find a place to stay first?"

Cai Xiaojing shook her head, walked to the side, and dialed a number using a satellite phone.

A few minutes later, she came back and asked, "Is there an elementary school here?"

Chachai nodded: "It's at the end of the road."

"where are we going."

Cai Xiaojing didn't explain, and Cha Cai didn't feel comfortable asking.

The school was deserted, the gates were locked, and soldiers were gathered on the street outside, with armored vehicles driving by.

An officer saw Cai Xiaojing and her group standing at the school gate, so he led a squad of soldiers over.

Chachai quickly stepped forward to deal with the situation, but just as he was about to explain, a loud humming sound came from their heads.

The group looked up and saw two Mi-35 attack helicopters circling in the night sky, with a large headlight shining from their noses.

The lights shone directly down, enveloping everyone in a halo.

The officer was startled. He raised his hand to his eyebrows, looked up, and saw that it was an air force unit of his own. He then raised his palm to his temple and slid it down in a simple salute. He assumed they were going to support the Bago River, where fighting was taking place. He thought that two Mi-35s would drop a few shells and send the KNU rebels fleeing in terror.

However, the two attack helicopters continued to circle overhead, and then indicated that they were about to land.

Qian Baishan and the others stared wide-eyed, not understanding what was happening. Their eyes were blinded by the light, and they couldn't see the people sitting inside at all.

A moment later, two armed helicopters descended, their propellers spinning rapidly, leaving afterimages, while the fan blades seemed to remain motionless.

A strong wind blew everyone's hair, forcing them to back away.

Immediately afterwards, one of the armed helicopters came to a stop and the cabin door opened.

A woman in sportswear jumped down first.

"Who is this?" Qian Baishan saw that the other person was a Chinese woman.

But Qiao Xue and Lin Chen had already recognized her; this was someone from Mo Wanqiu's side named Nong Ying.

Mo Wanqiu then got off the plane, also dressed in sportswear and wearing sunglasses.

Besides the two of them, more than a dozen other people jumped out of the cabin.

These men were fully armed, all equipped with American-made gear, and apart from their equipment, they all had Western features. There were fifteen of them in total.

Qian Baishan was startled. Just looking at their equipment, they could snipe an entire KNU battalion. If you added the artillery shells carried by those two armed helicopters, they would be a devastating force.

Even more surprised than him was Chatchai. He had already sensed that these were his own people. The people they had invited were clearly fierce mercenaries. Although their origins were unknown for the time being, the fact that they were being transported by government military helicopters to foreign mercenaries, and that the leader was a Chinese woman, truly shocked him.

Qian Baishan let out a breath and said to him, "Don't worry, this is President Luo's wife."

"Wife?" Dengchai nodded, clearly surprised.

Even more surprised than him was the officer from earlier; he simply couldn't understand how his own air force unit could be serving someone else.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Everyone gets paid to do things, and it's just that some people have more money.

If you pay enough, what can't you sell?
Mo Wanqiu took off her sunglasses, her face turning ashen.

Where is that bastard?

Cai Xiaojing pursed her lips and replied, "It should be on the NH85 highway, about fifty kilometers from here. Before we left, he and Yonghui and a few others were attacked by KNU militants, and the situation is still unclear."

"Idiot!" Mo Wanqiu threw her sunglasses on the ground and cursed fiercely, "He's like a fucking moron, I told him not to come, but he wouldn't listen!"

Cai Xiaojing didn't tolerate her temper: "Stop cursing, saving lives is the priority!"

Mo Wanqiu glanced at Qian Baishan, who lowered his head guiltily.

Her face was tense. She then beckoned to the mercenary leader, a man with a tattoo on his left arm, and they exchanged a few words in English.

After listening to her finish speaking, Cai Xiaojing said, "I'll go too."

"Of course you have to go!" Mo Wanqiu glared at her, then sighed, "I'll wait for you here and bring him back."

Qian Baishan immediately said, "I'll go too."

Mo Wanqiu stared at him: "What identity will you use to go?"

These words left Qian Baishan speechless; it was clear that he was being blamed for abandoning Luo Rui.

Before they left, Luo Rui and his men were engaged in a firefight with KNU, and to put it bluntly, their fates were now unknown.

Looking at his face, Mo Wanqiu relented: "Go ahead. If he's dead, find the body for me so I can return it to his parents."

Cai Xiaojing glanced at her and saw that Mo Wanqiu's eyes were red and she was clenching her teeth tightly.

"I'm leaving!"

Mo Wanqiu turned away, not looking at her.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Xiaojing and Qian Baishan boarded an armed helicopter, along with fifteen foreign mercenaries, and flew towards the Bago Bridge.

Mo Wanqiu stood there, staring blankly at Lin Chen and Qiao Xue, and asked, "Did that bastard say anything before you left?"

Lin Chen bit her lip and shook her head.

Qiao Xue comforted him, "President Luo will be alright."

Mo Wanqiu smiled and said, "Didn't leave any last words? Then you won't die."

After a while, an armed convoy arrived, also consisting of foreign mercenaries.

Mo Wanqiu waved her hand: "Let's go, don't stand here."

Lin Chen and Qiao Xue exchanged a glance, and suddenly their attitude towards Mo Wanqiu changed.

This woman is not only rich, but also acts like a female warlord.

How much money did they spend to assemble so many mercenaries in such a short time, and even use the Myanmar government's air force units?

at the same time.

Forty kilometers from the Bago River, Luo Rui and his pickup truck had stopped.

Because the road ahead is a heavily fortified outpost.

Roadblocks were set up in front of and behind the checkpoint, and defensive fortifications were built. On one side of the checkpoint, a steel frame more than ten meters high was erected, with two armed men standing on it.

Armed vehicles were parked around the checkpoint, and there were forty or fifty KUN militants on both sides of the road.

It was obvious that they couldn't get through.

At this moment, Luo Rui and Jiang Feng were hiding in the bushes by the roadside, with the pickup truck behind them on the highway about 500 meters away.

Jiang Feng sighed, "President Luo, what do we do? Are we going to make it through?"

"Can you use money?" Luo Rui encouraged his wife, Mo Wanqiu, to use banknotes.

Jiang Feng shook his head: "No way. It's wartime now. You'd be better off having them kidnap us than paying us. That would be more cost-effective."

"Can we take a detour? If I remember correctly, it's only about 30 kilometers to the Bago River bridge."

"It's even less likely. The area on both sides of the highway is full of landmines. The closer you get to the Bago River, the more landmines there are. Otherwise, why would NH85 be called the Death Highway?"

After saying that, Jiang Feng sighed: "We don't even have communication tools, so we don't know what the situation is like outside. What we can confirm right now is that the government forces and the KNU are about to have an armed conflict. Logically speaking, the government forces should be attacking, otherwise why would so many armed militants be gathered at the outposts here?"

Luo Rui pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then we're stuck on NH85?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "That's right."

“This won’t do. The government forces will come sooner or later. KNU will definitely hold off the enemy in this area. I estimate that the main force of KNU will advance in the next day or two.”

"Then there's only one way: retreat."

"Retreat?" Luo Rui raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Feng nodded: "The Bago Bridge area is definitely a battleground between the government forces and the KNU anti-government forces. It's too dangerous for us to be caught in the middle."

The checkpoint eight kilometers behind us isn't easy to get through either, but if we can find a way to get past it, there are vast villages on the other side.

We can hide in the village for a while, and come out again when things have calmed down a bit.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Rui replied, "That's the only way. If we had known, we shouldn't have used up all the shells. We should have gone to the old outpost and blasted it a couple of times. That would have been better than anything else."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "There will be opportunities. This is a battlefield, and there are guns everywhere."

The two men talked for a while, then retreated under the cover of night.

At this moment, there was not a single car on NH85 Highway, and all was quiet except for the chirping of insects.
