Chapter 341 Pagang Town
“Yes, there is a lot of flat land at the foot of the mountain. According to the methods in our hometown, there is no problem in arranging three to five thousand people here, and there are many places that can be used to open up wasteland.”
"Well, you should also investigate why this small town was not chosen to be on the opposite side but placed on the other side."
"Chief, I asked about this after we settled down. Yes, it is said that this river will flood every few years, and the terrain on the other side is low, so it will be flooded every few years."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, Song Yan still considered the problem very carefully. "It's okay if you want to station there, but you have to find time to improve the river embankment. It's all in tatters and it's really unstoppable. This project is not small, and it can't be completed by people like you now."
< br>“Understood, we are using this as a temporary base now, and we will build the opposite side later.”
“In fact, there is another way, which is to build a dam, use hydropower to generate electricity, and at the same time irrigate the opened wasteland. "
"Yes, this way we can have electricity and the farmland is guaranteed. We can't do this project."
"Don't worry, it will be available. I will also find a professional. People came to inspect the river, but there was no electricity, so it was very inconvenient.”
At night, the team members arranged by Song Yan managed to transport a mountain of supplies, leaving only four tanks that no one knew how to drive. The helicopter hadn't been taken out yet, and no one knew how to fly it. There was no way to teach him for a while. Zhu Xuefeng himself wasn't proficient, so he only tried it a few times in space.
"Chief, how did you get this thing? None of us know how to drive it."
Li Xiaojun walked around the tank several times, rubbed his hands, and wanted to try it several times, but finally gave up.
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. If anyone is interested, I will teach him.”
“You can do this too.”
“It’s not difficult, and There is a principle in driving. Once you learn it, drive back. Watch carefully. There should be no such thing in this area. With it, it should be invincible. "
"I just wanted to report to you, let's come. It was early. We had gone to investigate the several targets designated at that time, but there was nothing else in other places.” The armed forces are entrenched, there should be more than 200 armed personnel, and the key is two old tanks."
Zhu Xuefeng frowned. It was really wrong to stop Song Yan's report before the meal. This news was a bit unexpected. Unexpectedly, more than 200 people brought tanks, which was a serious problem. The two places were not far apart, only about 70 to 80 kilometers, and this sudden attack might kill them.
It must be cleared up. No one on my side knows how to use a tank. When I am still proficient in it, I will be able to drive it. I have not tried other tanks.
“Who can explain the specific situation clearly? Please tell me.”
…
It is now clear that the army that was defeated by the joint operation years ago escaped to this place for some reason. The requirement at that time was that they were not allowed to go deep, so they managed to escape with their last breath. .
Although the army was defeated, it is still considered a giant force in this area. There are many people, many guns, and tanks. Who is the opponent? Three strikes, five, and two divided by two can solve the small forces nearby. .
Occupying the largest jade mines, it is beautiful now. Of course, they will not retreat. No one will attack here anyway, and the local armed forces will have no chance.
You can't keep this thing around, it's too dangerous. There are only a few dozen people here, all of them are seeds. It would hurt to break even one of them. Everyone is here to live a good life.
“Go and invite our commanders here.”
“Yes, chief.”
Song Yan arranged a messenger for Zhu Xuefeng, named Xia Gong, young man He also looks very smart, with nimble legs and feet. It is said that he has good skills. His biggest advantage is assault. Whether it is a temporary assault or a long-distance attack, his results are far better than ordinary people.
This guy is born to be a good soldier. It's a pity not to stay in the army. If you catch him by yourself, you won't bury this ability.
“Boss, do you want to take action?”
The original plan was to lay the foundation first and then slowly expand once the base was established, but now there are a lot more people than expected, and the danger is right under our noses, so this plan has to be changed.
"That's it. I want to take people to take another look and feel it out. You are at home and seize the time to build the barracks. If possible, we will pull it out as quickly as possible, so we must also do it. Be ready for battle. As soon as I come back, we may start taking action."
Song Yan always followed Zhu Xuefeng's orders without compromise, but this time he frowned.
"Boss, can't you ask someone else to make a trip? If something happens to you, more than a hundred of us will be blinded."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled and patted him. Song Yan's shoulder said, "You also know that I am not an ordinary person. There is no danger to me. The reason why I went is to save some time, and I don't want you to have any accidents. After all, I haven't touched a gun in a while. . ”
“Let’s get familiar with the weapons first. No need to persuade others. Let people take the time to familiarize themselves with the tanks. You may not be able to shoot accurately, but you must be able to drive them. When the time comes, the four tanks will be ready and the battle will be over. It’s hard to say whether he can fight or not.”
“By the way, I forgot to ask you, did you bring your family members?”
Song Yan’s thin and dark face suddenly became a little dark. Fever, "Boss, I brought my partner and his family of four. If they are not suitable, I will send them away."
"What are you talking about? Treat them well. If you wander here, they will follow you. Oh, I can’t be sorry.”
“Tell me what’s going on.”
It turns out that Song Yan's partner's surname is Feng, Feng Qiuxia. She used to work in a supply and marketing cooperative in the countryside and had a good life. However, due to his father's involvement, he lost his job. So did his sister Feng Qiumei, a female militia captain.
Old man Feng used to run a private school. His wife used to run a powder factory and employed several people. The family moved to a village near Song Yan many years ago and settled down. Last year, they were reported for unknown reasons. , Song Yan originally wanted to establish a foothold in Xiangjiang before picking them up. Now that they are here, they will follow him.
“Well, don’t avoid relatives when promoting talents. Several people in your partner’s family are all capable and they need to be put to good use. I think if you want to do business with outsiders in the future, your partner and her mother will be fine. You My sister-in-law also gave her a gun. Maybe she can bring out a team of female soldiers. Your father-in-law can also teach the children here."
Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng had made arrangements for his partner's house in just a few words. Song Yan's heart was also warm and he was about to speak.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Let's go down and make arrangements. I'll set off before dawn. If I'm lucky, I'll be back in the middle of the night."
Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng had made up his mind, Song Iwa no longer insisted, saluted, and turned around to go out.
"Yanzi, I have something interesting to do, will you follow me?"
...After a while, Zhu Xuefeng pushed out the motorcycle from the camp and took Liang Yan along the dilapidated road. highway and set out overnight heading east.
Pagang is about 80 kilometers away from here, but the straight-line distance should be less than 60 kilometers. If you don’t want to be exposed, you want to fly over directly by gliding, and it is probably not possible. It's a matter of an hour.
When the sky gradually dawned, the two of them passed by a mountain top. It was full of dense forests. It was a vast area with few people, and there were many villages, but they were not large in scale. A large amount of land under the mountain was abandoned and no one came to work.
The climate of this place is unique, plants grow vigorously, and the forest is full of treasures, including various wild vegetables, herbs, and a kind of tree that produces fruits rich in starch. The locals all operate within their sphere of influence, etc. When the fruit is ripe and it falls, pick it up together.
The fruits all over the mountains and the livestock and poultry raised on the mountains can barely provide them with basic food and clothing. In addition, outside the sphere of influence, there are constant disputes, and various forces fight every year.
As a result, everyone huddled in the mountains. After all, it was very dangerous outside. This resulted in a large number of suitable planting areas being abandoned. Each ethnic group huddled in the mountains, setting up camp and seeking safety.
What an interesting place. The little cultivated land was basically developed by the Chinese who came over. The little bit added up, and gradually formed villages and towns, forming two kinds of societies.
Seeing a huge town in the distance, Zhu Xuefeng realized that his destination was approaching, so he quickly drove off the road and plunged into the valley.
"Senior brother, this thing is so fun. I will learn it when I have the chance. It runs so fast and is more fun than riding on a jeep."
"Swallow, we can just run around here. , this thing is still very rare in the capital city, you just get a motorcycle and ride it, it will be very eye-catching, don’t worry about it for now, if you really want to ride it, just go back and ride my small car for fun. "< br>
Liang Yan stuck out her tongue, "That's right, it's really boring. I'll finish the work in a while. When we go back, you let me ride. It's so convenient to have this thing."
"Swallow , you go up there and see if anyone is here. I’ll hide this thing and use it when I come back. It’s too annoying to ride it in.”
"Yeah."
…
It was still early, and the town probably wasn't busy yet. The two of them had breakfast in the valley, rested for a while, and then got up and set off. .
The two of them walked not long after they crossed a hill and entered the town. The guards outside the town saw that the two of them were empty-handed and without weapons, so they did not question them. This town was more beautiful than what they saw from a distance. Much bigger, this is Pagang Town, a town famous for its jade production.
Although the town is not small, many places are dilapidated, and some can still show traces of battles. The main streets of the town are still lively. After all, the commercialization here is much higher, and there are many businessmen coming and going. Quite a few.
There were some people carrying guns on their backs. Their military uniforms were in tatters and the color could not even be seen. Zhu Xuefeng nodded, these people were not living a good life.
There is nothing exotic about the town. It is just like in China. There are many kinds of stores. Hotels, inns, jade shops, pharmacies, rice shops, and various shops stand on the street, which are very similar to those in China. Small towns are no different.
There are street stalls on the roadside. Women in ragged clothes and dirty children are sitting around, waiting for people to exchange wild fruits, ores and herbs on the stalls.
Finally, I saw a few local hunters selling their prey. Before I could take a look, a few men with guns threw down some money and took them away. Only the hunters were left cursing in a low voice. The hunters also saw that the situation was not good and ran away with their prey.
From time to time, people would pass by on horseback. The horses were all smaller, trotting all the way through the town. On the other side of the road, against the side of the river, countless shacks were crowded together.
What a strange combination of buildings. From time to time, a naked doll pokes its head out of the shack to look at the strange passers-by. A group of ragged women are washing something by the river.
The ones who are obviously businessmen are much more glamorous, and the waiters are shouting at the door of the store.
“Brother, why do people here speak our language?”
Liang Yan was very surprised, didn’t she say that this was a foreign land? She could basically understand all the words spoken, but when she was in Xiangjiang, she herself He is just a blind man with his head covered and cannot understand at all. The senior brother also said that Xiangjiang is also our place, but it is now occupied by white people.
"Well, I told you, this place belonged to us thousands of years ago, and the ancestors of many people here also came from the mainland."
"Go up a few hundred years, and the two sides also We were once a family, many people went back hundreds of years, and their ancestors were also across the street."
Liang Yan nodded, this makes sense,
"Look at this building. Are the clothes of these people similar to those over there? These are the inheritance of the nation and are engraved in the bones. They are not easy to change."
"Let's go to their store and have a look. I think. There are so many small shops here, it’s still early anyway, let’s take a look first.”
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, that’s fine, just looking at them on the street might attract the attention of interested people.
There are also many goods in the small shop, and many people coming and going are wearing various national costumes, but they look thinner and more tattered.
I have a feeling that this place is poorer than small towns in China. The locals have not become any better because of the abundance of jade here.
There are three types of stores in the town, including many restaurants, inns, and jade shops. Perhaps because it is the place where jade is produced, there is an abnormal prosperity.
Going along the street, a splendid temple stands in front, with many faithful men and women entering and exiting with their heads lowered. This should be the biggest difference from the country.
Continue to move forward, and it will soon become impassable. This is a mining area, and a watchtower has been set up. Through the watchtower, you can see a courtyard built on the mountain. It occupies a large area. In the yard, there are parked cars Quite a few trucks and jeeps.
Near the front of the courtyard, there are two big dark tanks. These are their tanks. They look like they were imported from Germany. The barrels are pointed straight at the watchtower at the door. The edge on the other side extends all the way back. Not surprisingly, it should lead to the mine behind the mountain.
"Senior brother, this place is tightly guarded. There are three places standing guard overtly and covertly, about ten people. It is impossible to get in during the day and there is no way to explore inside."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded. Although these were defeated troops, their basic tactical skills were still there. The place was really well laid out and Liang Yan didn't even see it. There were two light machine guns hidden behind them, so there was no way for them to rush through.
It seems that they also relied on tanks to fight their way in. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed difficult to attack.
“Find a place to have something to eat first and wait until night. We can’t just wander around on the street all the time.”
Liang Yan nodded and left. This girl was relatively reliable when doing serious things.
Zhu Xuefeng didn’t pay much attention to the sentries and light machine guns at the door. Among the weapons he brought over this time, there were also several sets of rocket launchers, and there was still one set left in the space. He was wondering if he could imitate them. When will the time come? The door can be cleared in no time.
But those two tanks are the trouble. There are no weapons that can deal with them, not even mortars. It seems that we have to do it ourselves. Otherwise, we will lose our troops in the first battle, which will be a big loss.
