Chapter 647 Cleansing Up the Malignant Tumor! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Thump thump thump, boom boom boom...

Nearly ten assault rifles opened fire fiercely, and the interwoven firepower suppressed several firing points in the village.

Several mortars approached and fired, each shell landing precisely on the concealed firing point, blasting the people and guns inside into the air and scattering them in all directions.

The village, situated in a mountainous area that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, suddenly became quiet.

The troops attacking the village did not rush up the mountain.

A short while later, a buzzing sound came from the horizon.

A powered hang glider slowly flew in, skimming low over the quiet village hills, and the soldier in the back seat threw down several glass bottles strung together with rope.

Before the glass bottles tied together could fall to the top of the hill, the powered hang glider changed direction and flew away.

bang bang bang...

The sound of glass bottles shattering echoed across the hilltop, followed by a layer of pale red smoke that quickly filled the entire hilltop.

Cough cough cough...

The once quiet hilltop was suddenly filled with a chorus of violent coughs.

Halfway up the mountain, upon hearing the sound coming from the top, one of the educated youth soldiers was about to rush out without saying a word.

But the veteran squad leader grabbed him and shouted in a low voice, "What do you think you're doing?"

"With such a loud noise from upstairs, didn't you hear it, squad leader?"

The educated youth soldier retorted, "Of course we should rush up and arrest them!"

"Catch you, you big idiot!"

The squad leader angrily rebuked, "It's all covered in pepper spray up there. If you go up there, you'll end up like those guys up there, coughing your lungs out. How will you have the strength to grab anyone?"

Upon hearing this, the educated youth soldier immediately deflated, shrank back to his original spot, and muttered, "How was I supposed to know there was such a thing as pepper spray?"

"Hmph, there's a lot you don't know!"

The squad leader said irritably, "Stop thinking about rushing forward. You only have one life. If you're gone, no one can save you!"

"Also, do you think it's possible that the guys in the mountains might have planted landmines on the way up?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers in the platoon all changed their expressions.

"Now you're scared, aren't you? You were just trying to jump up!"

"We can't just stay here and not move, can we?"

"Don't worry, a reconnaissance team has already gone up from behind the mountain!"

The squad leader said irritably, "Do you think the company commander can't think of things that you can think of?"

Sure enough, sporadic gunshots soon came from the hilltop, and soon a crimson signal flare shot into the sky.

"Let's go, let's go, up the mountain, up the mountain! Hurry up!"

At this moment, the veteran squad leader suddenly stood up and called on the soldiers in his squad to rush towards the hilltop.

Once we reached the top of the mountain, all we saw was a scene of utter devastation.

There were also a dozen or so bandits, their faces filled with fear, crouching with their heads in their hands.

Although the soldiers were prepared, they were still irritated by the lingering chili spray and coughed repeatedly.

No wonder the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad were all wearing gas masks.

"Reporting to the company commander, there were 67 armed men in this village. So far, 35 have been killed, 15 wounded, and 17 captured!"

"Twenty rifles, five submachine guns, and one light machine gun were captured!" "Five boxes of hand grenades, but no landmines or mortars!"

"There are also 200 jin of opium, and all related items and tools in the workshop have been cleaned up!"

"Good, well done!"

The company commander returned the salute and said in a cold tone, "Leave the spoils to the logistics unit, let's move on to the next target!"

Such intense fighting broke out across the mountainous regions of northern Myanmar in a short period of time.

In this way, one by one, the malignant tumors clinging to the mountains of northern Myanmar were cleaned up.

Those who were killed on the spot were spared, but any bandits who were captured would face ten years of labor reform.

Some people expressed their dissatisfaction to Wu Aiguo, saying that these guys had committed countless crimes, and some of them only received ten years of labor reform. Wasn't that too lenient on them?
Wu Aiguo chuckled and retorted, "The places where they are undergoing labor reform are all construction sites with the harshest environments and the greatest risks!"

"If I'm still alive after ten years of labor reform, I'll accept it!"

At this point, he said coldly, "If they were sentenced to life imprisonment or thirty years of labor reform, would they still have any motivation?"

The dissatisfied subordinates were speechless for a moment.

"So we need to give them some hope, otherwise, are we going to send our soldiers to do those dangerous projects?"

If he gave a way out to the armed villagers, he was ruthless in his treatment of the chieftains who had been entrenched for hundreds of years.

First, a squadron of four armed powered delta wingers strafed the area, while ground mortar units joined the attack.

Then the infantry followed, and scouts emerged from the most unlikely places; the battle began explosively and ended swiftly.

After the prisoners were identified, they were first questioned by the Mandalay authorities. If the Mandalay authorities wanted to bail them out, they would send the prisoners and their henchmen over.

In short, Mandalay became the dumping ground for the Northwest Branch's waste shipments.

The rest, like the people of those armed villages, were almost divided into individual families and scattered to settle in all the farms and towns.

In addition, the local police station and community security committee will conduct regular home visits.

This purge of internal cancers lasted from late spring to late autumn before it barely achieved its goal.

The reason it was a "barely" situation was that many village forces, and even chieftains' troops, fled to Zhenla (Laos) and Siam when they saw that things were not going well.

That is, the infamous no-man's-land in later generations!
At this moment, Wu Aiguo had no intention of reaching out, so these guys temporarily escaped with their lives.

Through this large-scale cleanup campaign, the Northwest Branch has significantly increased its control over the entire northern region of Myanmar.

The areas that were originally under the control of the alliance's main forces are disobedient and are playing the trick of paying lip service while secretly opposing it.

As a result, when the armed forces of the Northwest Branch arrived, they were all very obedient and compliant, at least on the surface.

After this cleanup, the atmosphere in the entire Northwest Branch's jurisdiction became significantly more upright.

There were as many as fifty or sixty thousand people who were forcibly relocated from the mountains.

Well, the number of educated youth who poured into China during this period reached an astonishing 150,000 or more.

Suddenly, the population of the area under its jurisdiction exceeded one million.

When Wu Aiguo saw these statistics, he was truly at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

The newly joined educated youth were also overjoyed and extremely excited.

They were all temporarily incorporated into the militia and participated in the Northwest Branch's campaign to eliminate scourges. They handled guns and even fired them, some of them even participating in direct combat. Their enthusiasm was indescribable.

Fortunately, the company had enough food and supplies accumulated over the years; otherwise, the Northwest Branch would have been bankrupted by this wave of educated youth.
