(362) Laboratory in the Jungle
As if there was a tacit understanding, all of them wielded machetes and opened the way. Although this actually made the march much faster, Lin Hongmin still felt uncomfortably slow and painful.
But the situation soon took a turn for the better, and the two spearmen were swinging their swords in front of them, but suddenly found a small path in front of them, so they quickly told the captain the good news. But the trail did not seem to have existed before, and seemed to have been opened up recently, which puzzled the captain, so he sent a team of two men to reconnoiter along the road.
A few minutes later, he heard several rifle shots on his left, followed by more rifle shots, followed by a storm of automatic weapon fire.
"I'll go to the front and see what's going on." A mountain warrior said, and the captain nodded in agreement, and he walked away quickly, while the rest of the men withdrew from the path, and in the bushes, ready for battle.
Ten minutes later, the gunfire on the left suddenly became intense. Lin Hongmin guessed that it was the Gaoshan warrior who joined the battle, and he could feel that that person liked to fight, and he carried much more guns and bullets than others.
After a while, the mournful sound of a bamboo whistle sounded.
"Let's go! Let's go! The captain frowned and ordered loudly. Everyone pulled out their legs and ran to the left. After running for about a few hundred meters, Luo Yongxuan found two people lying a few meters away from the path. One of them was lying on his back on the ground, with multiple injuries and covered in blood.
Seeing the team that appeared in front of him, one of them's eyes lit up. He saw the people with guns in front of him with vigilant eyes, so he put his fingers in his mouth and blew out a few whistles.
"My own people." The captain nodded, "Can you still go?" ”
"Yes." He glanced at his dead companion and nodded.
One of the team members stepped forward to help him up, but the gunfire in the distance became more intense.
"Come on, don't worry about me, just give me some medicine, I'll rest for a while and go by myself." The other man raised his hand and pointed into the distance, "Now we need someone to take it down." ”
The captain didn't say anything more, and one of the team members stepped forward to leave medicine for the man lying on the ground, and the other man nodded as a sign of gratitude, and the assault team moved on.
Despite the special difficulty of passing through the bamboo forest, the assault team managed to pass through the bamboo forest, and the captain observed the surrounding situation and constantly adjusted the direction of the movement of the team. The assault team has finally arrived at their destination and is ready to attack.
"There are two heavy machine guns over there aimed at the way we came. One of them is well camouflaged. While observing the enemy's position, the captain said to the vice-captain, "On the position of the reading force ahead." ”
After listening to the captain's words, Lin Hongmin raised the binoculars, and sure enough, he saw the machine gun.
"I'll take that machine gun for you in a few minutes." A mountain warrior said.
"You calm down, it doesn't matter what gun you have." The other warrior gave him a blank look and said.
Lin Hongmin continued to observe, and he saw that in addition to the two heavy machine guns, on the steep ridge, there was a long bunker made of logs, the length of which was as long as a block. The sides of that position jutted into the hillside. The front of the position was trimmed and became almost a vertical steep wall. Light weapons did little to do anything against that bunker. In Lin Hongmin's view, attacking this position from the front is undoubtedly suicide.
"Come on, let's take out the enemy in front of us." The captain said in a deep voice.
The team immediately dispersed in an offensive formation, and several members of the team opened heavy fire on the enemy from the left side of the road. The enemy pointed at the heavy machine gun in the middle of the road and immediately began to return fire. Several other machine guns in the bunker also roared together.
"You'd better be careful, the enemy's firepower is strong!" The captain yelled.
Lin Hongmin rushed forward with everyone, and less than a meter in front of him, a well-concealed heavy machine gun suddenly opened fire. When Lin Hongmin saw the muzzle of the gun spewing flames, he realized that there was a heavy machine gun there. He threw himself to the ground as fast as he could, and he lay on the ground and looked around, realizing that the person in front of him was a little too exposed. The bamboo around him was thick and dense, and he imagined blowing up the heavy machine gun with a grenade, but he quickly rejected the idea, because it would not only kill the enemy, but could kill himself.
However, he soon stopped worrying about the machine gun, because by this time, he had already seen the team with the hand-held mortar enter the attack position.
A mortar shell hit the hidden machine gun position accurately, Lin Hongmin saw that the machine gun was blown to pieces, and the machine gunner was also killed, he jumped up and followed everyone, at this time, he saw that there were shells in other parts of the enemy position also continued to explode, and he couldn't help but be very surprised.
These mortars have been shelling the northern end of the enemy-occupied hill. Lin Hongmin soon understood that the purpose of their artillery bombardment was to prevent the enemy in the bunker from raising his head, and at the same time, it was also to block the enemy's escape path down the western slope. It was supposed to be another group of unknown own people who concentrated their fire on the enemy's positions.
At this moment, directly in front of him, two pillars of smoke, one white and one green, suddenly rose, and they were less than a few meters apart.
"Who's so big? Do you want to summon planes? Someone said.
Sure enough, not long after, two planes with no markings on their wings appeared in the sky, and in the back seat of the fuselage, a machine gunner was shooting at the enemy below with his hands while throwing bombs downward.
"This grandmother's is also an outlaw, flying so low, and she is not afraid of hitting the ground!" Someone said.
As the planes attacked the various enemy bunkers and the area between them, the pressure on the ground assault team was greatly reduced, and after a fierce exchange of fire, the defending enemy suffered many casualties, and the lightly wounded tried to break through and retreat westward. When the assault team attacked, they hid behind rocks and trees and put up stubborn resistance. Since most of them were wounded, resistance was not very effective. On the battlefield, the severed limbs and legs were mixed with the blown branches and wooden blocks, and the smell of blood was filled.
Mortar fire began to shift to the sides of the hill, cutting off the enemy's retreat in both directions. On the front of the hill, the assault team went on the offensive. "We attacked in a linear formation and now we continue to crawl forward." Everyone scurried forward. Lin Hongmin, who participated in such a battle for the first time, climbed forward with everyone. He scrambled forward desperately, and soon crawled ahead of the others. He saw bullets eject from under the roots of a large tree. That is a well-camouflaged "Madsen" light machine gun. Lin Hongmin climbed forward a few more meters and threw a grenade. But the grenade hit the trunk of a big tree, rolled down, hit the stone, bounced back, and exploded not too far from him. He lay on his stomach tightly, but a fragment still flew past his face. He climbed forward again and threw a second grenade. This time he threw it accurately, and the grenade flew straight into the tree hole. With a "boom", the machine gun and two shooters were blown away. He was a few meters away, contented to see the results of his first fierce battle like this.
Several other enemies jumped out from behind the trees. The Gaoshan warriors, who had just caught up from behind, shouted, "Those are mine! Rushing out first, Lin Hongmin saw that these people were swept to the ground in an instant.
The Alpine warrior noticed his expression, smiled and rubbed his hands, and said, "Okay, we'll kill them all." ”
Lin Hongmin nodded at him, and the two of them got up and rushed forward. At this moment, the enemy who was shooting at them suddenly stopped shooting.
"Our men have outflanked them and launched an attack." The captain looked at the plane in the sky, then at his watch, and said.
At this time, whether it was deployed on the two flanks, or further behind, or somewhere else, the commandos were greatly relieved.
Everyone finally climbed to the top of the hill and occupied the enemy position, which had been blown to pieces. Lin Hongmin is glad that so far, his commando team has not suffered any casualties.
On the enemy's positions, they found several corpses. It is impossible to estimate how many bodies are buried under the bombed-out bunkers at the top of the mountain.
Having broken through the most fortified position, the rest was simple, and the assault team attacked the center of this stronghold, where Lin Hongmin met many strange "own people".
"The warehouse has been found, chief." One of the team members came running to report to the captain, "However, I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome to deal with." ”
"What's the trouble?" The captain asked, somewhat surprised.
"Just look at it, and the other 'captains' are also worried." The team member replied.
"Xiucai, you come too." The captain turned his head and beckoned to Lin Hongmin.
The group came to the location of the warehouse, and when Lin Hongmin looked at the huge sink under his feet, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"It was built with cement." The captain muttered to himself.
"Why are they hiding opium here?" The other captain asked.
"Opium is afraid of drying, and when a large number of crows come in, it needs to be moistened in a pool to ensure quality and quantity." Lin Hongmin replied.
"There are so many." Luo Yongxuan didn't know when he came here, "I really can't think of it." ”
"There are so many that you can't burn them." One of the captains said with some annoyance, "Those people above have made too big an intelligence mistake this time!" ”
"We have a way." The captain looked at the opium in the pool, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Lin Hongmin.
"Are you sure?" The captain asked.
A confident smile appeared on Lin Hongmin's face.
"Of course, or else the boss called me over for something."
"We can't stay here for too long, how long will you need it?" The captain asked again.
"It's going to take half a day." Lin Hongmin looked at the huge number of crows, sighed, and said.
Listening to his answer, some captains were silent, and some turned and walked away.
"You do your job, call him if you need him." The captain said, "We'll wait for you." ”
After Lin Hongmin finished his destruction work, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Exhausted, he was about to take a break when a member of the team hurried over.
"The boss told you to come over."
"What's wrong? What's going on again? Lin Hongmin asked with some puzzlement.
"Hehe, our people have found an interesting place, Lao Luo thinks you will be interested, and the boss will let you take a look."
Lin Hongmin glanced at him a little strangely, straightened up his tired body, and followed the team member to a house that seemed to be very secret.
When he entered the room, he couldn't help but be in a trance.
The room was filled with all kinds of glassware used in chemical experiments, but most of them were broken, and all kinds of liquid flowed all over the ground, mixing with the blood from the dead bodies on the ground, which looked terrifying.
This is supposed to be a secret laboratory.
"These people are dead, probably from the moment they came in, and the mortar shells were hit." The team member said.
Lin Hongmin nodded and didn't speak, at this time his nose smelled a strange smell, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"There are a lot of books and documents here, and we can't read them." The captain stood in front of a broken bookcase and said to Lin Hongmin, "Do you think you can use it?" ”
Although the captain didn't quite understand what this laboratory was for, he was keenly aware of the unusual place, so he invited the chemistry experts in his team.
Lin Hongmin came to a table, picked up the manuscript on it and only glanced at it, and his face couldn't help but change.
"Don't tell me this is a chemical weapons lab." Luo Yongxuan noticed the expression on Lin Hongmin's face and laughed, he flipped the corpse on the ground with his foot, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a European face.
"There are foreigners here." Luo Yongxuan leaned down, looked carefully at the distorted face, and said.
The captain came to the corpse and took a look, he squatted down and opened the palm of the deceased to look at it, and he was also stunned.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yongxuan asked.
"It seems that like Xiucai, he is also a scholar or something." The captain said, "Look at this hand, it's not a rough job at all, here are the traces of years of pinching with a pen." ”
"Haven't you found anyone else here?" Lin Hongmin asked.
"Nope." The captain looked at Lin Hongmin and replied, he noticed that Lin Hongmin's voice was a little strange, and immediately stood up vigilantly.
"Do me a favor and collect all the books and documents here. These things are important. Lin Hongmin said, "Then let's get out of here as soon as possible......
Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately stopped.
Seeing his appearance, all the members of the team in the room raised their guns vigilantly.
Luo Yongxuan held his sniper rifle, and his face became solemn.
"Don't make a sound, everybody! Listen carefully! Luo Yongxuan let out a low roar.
Everyone immediately held their breath, and sure enough, as if somewhere, there was a low wheezing sound.
"Notice, the sound is coming from under your feet." The captain said in a deep voice, gesturing to one of the team members, "Call the others to come and help." ”
The team nodded, dodging and jumping out of the window.
At this point, the sound seemed to get closer and closer, like the howl of a beast when it was injured.
"Over there!" Lin Hongmin suddenly pointed to a floor and said.
Before everyone could react, they heard a roar like a wild beast coming out of its cage, and the floor burst open, and a large hole appeared, and in the midst of the flying sawdust, a tall figure jumped up.
Lin Hongmin saw clearly that standing in front of everyone was a tall and burly man.
The man stood in the center of the room, blocking Lin Hongmin's way. He stood there, with his back to Lin Hongmin, looking at the commandos in front of him viciously. The man's arms and legs were thick, clumsy but nimble, hunched over, with a hairy neck, and his head was about to sink into his shoulders. He was dressed in a dark cyan suit, and his black hair was surprisingly thick and thick. At the sight of the dead bodies on the ground, he let out a piercing howl, but he immediately noticed the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, and he seemed to understand that these weapons were powerful, and he immediately dodged and retreated, and with the agility of an animal, he suddenly turned around and looked at the people around him, and at this time anyone could see that he was an extremely vicious and dangerous man.
Although the commandos in the house all had guns in their hands, due to the large number of people in the house and the relatively small space, they were afraid of hurting their own people, so although they became hasty for a while, no one shot first when the other party did not attack.
His black face somehow flashed towards Lin Hongmin, Lin Hongmin had never seen such a vicious person, and he couldn't help but feel shocked and frightened for a while. In front of him was a strangely deformed face. The face is prominent, making people feel that it is like an animal's face when they look at it; The half-open mouth showed two rows of large white teeth that he had never seen in a human mouth; The corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and a circle of mutilated whites surrounded by hazel pupils. There was a strange flush of excitement on his face.
He ignored the muzzle of the gun facing him and walked towards Lin Hongmin step by step.
"Fuck, bastard!" Luo Yongxuan shouted loudly. "What the fuck are you trying to do?"
At this time, everyone was still extremely surprised by the surprisingly ugly appearance of this black-faced guy. Lin Hongmin had never seen such an annoying and strange face in the past, but at this time, Lin Hongmin somehow had a strange and bold idea in his heart.
"What are you doing in a daze? Come on! Luo Yongxuan pulled the trigger sharply, but to everyone's surprise, the other party jumped on the table with a lightning leap, and just dodged the fatal bullet that was fired at him!
The strange man standing on the table nimbly picked up a small bottle on the table with his thick fingers, he opened the cap, sniffed it, and then an intoxicated expression appeared on his face, he held the bottle in one hand, and brushed it on the table with the other, as if looking for something.
