Chapter 84 Encirclement and Suppression
Han Guo walked out of the auditorium with six students including Chen Chuan, got on an armored transport vehicle that had been parked there in advance, and drove out.
Chen Chuan and others were sitting in the car and could only see outside through the narrow sliding windows. He also noticed that there was a small radio station here.
Han Guo handed out a piece of information to everyone and said, "Here is the specific information of the robbers, but it's only from before they were imprisoned, so just take a look at it. Fang Dawei and his gang raided Councillor Fang Zuo's residence and are suspected of kidnapping Councillor Fang's seven-year-old son."
"What's the purpose? What's the purpose?" a male student named Wu asked without even looking up. He flipped through the materials irritably. "It's not clear from here."
Han Guo glanced at him and said, "Councilman Fang Zuo previously seized a batch of illegal drugs and is suspected of having moved some of them home, but no trace of such items was found in his mansion. It's very likely that he had already sold them. The police speculate that the robbers kidnapped Councilman Fang's son in order to force him to agree to exchange them for a batch of illegal drugs or to meet some other conditions."
The female student said, "If that's the case, then Councillor Fang's son is out of danger for the time being?"
Han Guo said calmly: "The premise is that things are as inferred.
When I came to see you, the firefight at the bank had ended, and the police had suffered quite a few casualties. The two groups had already reunited and were retreating towards the north of the city, but the police were following them all the way. They haven't been able to escape the pursuit range yet and have now retreated to a certain place."
As she spoke, she took out a map and spread it out in front of several people. "According to the news from the front, they should be here now." She pointed with her finger, "Caijiazhai."
At the same time, Guan Yuming, deputy director of the Yangzhi City Patrol Bureau and temporary commander, was looking at the map hanging on the wall, his eyes fixed on the location of Caijiazhai.
A messenger came in, saluted him, and said, "Report, the temporary telephone line has been laid. We've received a message from the city that the students sent by Wu Yi to cooperate with the operation are on their way. Also... Councillor Fang's wife has arrived here."
Guan Yuming said, "I understand."
He retracted his gaze and walked out of the temporary command post on the high ground. He picked up the telescope and looked at the village in the distance. He saw people walking around inside and asked, "Is everyone here?"
The deputy following behind him immediately opened a folder and said, "Except for Changbao District, where the headquarters is located, the patrol officers dispatched from the other patrol sub-bureaus in Xigang District, Baofeng District, Shouguan District, Dongbao District, Quanbei District, and Daping District have all arrived, led by the captains of each sub-bureau. They are..."
"Don't read it anymore. Tell them that they are all old acquaintances. I won't call them over one by one to take care of them. Just do whatever I say when the time comes. Don't let me down."
"yes!"
Guan Yuming looked ahead. The houses in this village spread out in the east-west direction, with the west higher and the east lower. There was a hill to the north and a stream to the east. To the southwest of the village entrance, there was a low earthen mound with a few elm trees and shrubs. Entering the village was a gentle upward slope. There was a donkey cart overturned, and the donkey pulling the cart was also lying there.
But no matter how he looked at it, he always felt that the low mound in front of the village was unpleasant to the eye.
He asked, "Have the machine guns, mortars, smoke bombs, and grenades I requested been delivered?"
The deputy said, "The report hasn't arrived yet. The bureau said the approval process is stuck at the Government Affairs Office."
Guan Yuming was very dissatisfied: "Forget about the mortars and machine guns, but you don't even give us grenades and smoke bombs? Forget it, we can still fight without them.
Ordered Sun Quezi to station near the eastern bridgehead, Yu Xiaoyan took the radio and led a team around to the back of Xiaoxi Village to block the road leading to the hills, Wei Lao Hu and Xiao Niangniang each led a team around the mound, and told Wei Lao Hu's team not to move for the time being, as there was probably someone there, and they could go up when they found a chance.
Once the rest of you arrive and hear the signal, fire suppression inside the village. Even if you can't hit anyone, make some noise. Also, tell the people from the commissioned company to use their speed to charge from the front while we're suppressing the enemy."
"yes!"
The patrolman quickly recorded these and ran out immediately.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the messenger patrolman came in and said, "Report, all teams are in place. Captain Yu said that a group of villagers organized by the villagers have blocked the rear and seem to have exchanged fire with the robbers before."
Guan Yuming's eyes turned cold, "Where did they get the guns?"
The patrolman said, "Captain Yu reported that these are all old guys left over from the Great Development Period. Some are using hunting bows and crossbows. They come from several nearby villages and are mostly related to the people in Caijiazhai. They are numerous and familiar with the surrounding geography, so they can still deal with the robbers."
Guan Yuming frowned. He could tell that things weren't that simple. He instructed, "Have Yu Xiaoyan remove the weapons from these people and keep them under control."
At this moment, he would never allow another armed force to exist nearby, but he didn't have the mind to pursue it at the moment. He would wait until he dealt with Fang Dawei and his gang.
The messenger patrolman came back after a moment and reported, "Director, Captain Yu said the villagers were very cooperative and turned in all their weapons."
Guan Yuming nodded and said, "Okay, send the signal."
"yes!"
After a while, a signal was sent out, and almost at the same time, gunshots were heard from several directions of Caijiazhai, and the personnel sent by the commissioned company also began to rush towards the village quickly.
There were probably nearly twenty of them. They ran for a while, stopped for a while, and then walked in a winding route. They soon approached the village entrance. The first few people sped up again and rushed in quickly.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, the people behind also followed suit. However, at this moment, a burst of fire and a loud thumping sound suddenly appeared on the low hill. The people who rushed to the gentle slope were knocked down one by one, and some of them were beaten into several pieces.
Guan Yuming's face showed no emotion. He said calmly, "The plowing machine guns do have a fire point, and someone is cooperating with them."
Through his telescope, he saw that the several commissioned personnel who had rushed into the village had no choice but to charge forward. However, a large man appeared from the opposite side and knocked one of them to the ground with a single punch. Another extremely fast black shadow scurried along the ground, and whenever it passed by a commissioned person, the latter fell silently to the ground.
But in just ten seconds, all the people who rushed in became quiet.
At this time, there was also a sound of fierce gunfire behind the hill. After about half a minute, the machine gun was completely silenced.
A moment later, a messenger came in. "Captain Wei, reporting that we have captured the hillock and killed two armed robbers. One escaped into the village. We have also seized a damaged Li Ting light machine gun and a number of machine gun bullets."
Guan Yuming nodded. It was a pity that the mound was not as high as the village. Otherwise, if they occupied it, they would be in a dominant position and could directly attack the village.
"Don't stop me, I want to talk to your director."
At this moment, a woman in her thirties, with long wavy hair, thin curved eyebrows, delicate earrings, and a lake green modified skirt, rushed in. When she saw Guan Yuming, she burst into tears and said, "Director Guan, please save my child, save my child."
The deputy said, "Director Guan, this is Mrs. Fang."
Guan Yuming looked at her and said, "Mrs. Fang, we will try to ensure his safety."
"But, but, I saw you guys shooting just now. Can't we negotiate? You can tell those robbers that as long as they guarantee the child's safety, I'm willing to pay any amount of money..."
Guan Yuming said, "Madam Fang, we have our own ideas on what to do," and then instructed the patrolman at the door, "Take Madam Fang downstairs to rest."
"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here!" Mrs. Fang refused to leave. Due to her status, the patrol officers couldn't force her to leave and could only try to persuade her.
At this moment, the phone rang. The deputy went to pick it up and said to Guan Yuming, "Director Guan, it's the director calling."
Guan Yuming took it and said, "Hello, I'm Guan Yuming."
"How's it going?"
"We have surrounded Caijiazhai."
"Don't push too hard. You can open up a path appropriately. The City Hall is very concerned about this matter and even had someone from higher up call me. Remember, you can ignore the others, but Councilman Fang's child must be protected by me at all costs."
Guan Yuming was silent for a moment and said, "I understand."
After he hung up the phone, he looked up and said to his deputy, "Send a telegram and ask Yu Xiaoyan to make way. Then send someone up to tell them that as long as they're willing to hand over the child, we can negotiate terms."
After about seven or eight minutes, the messenger came over and said, "Director, someone from over there is here to speak. They need a large amount of anti-alienation drugs, no less than twenty boxes, as well as fifty thousand Jianyuan coins and three vehicles."
"I'll give it, I'll give it, I'm willing to give it as long as they can release the child." Before Guan Yuming could speak, Mrs. Fang shouted hurriedly.
Guan Yuming thought for a moment and said, "Tell them that we can give them the things, but we must see the child first to confirm that Councillor Fang's child is safe."
The messenger saluted and went out to convey the order.
After waiting for a few minutes, the messenger returned and said, "The robbers said we can let someone into the village to check on the people. We can leave other things behind, but we must take the medicine first, otherwise there will be no negotiation."
Just as Guan Yuming was thinking, someone walked in and said a few words to his deputy, who then looked up and said, "Director, Wu Yi's men are here."
Guan Yuming looked up and said, "You've arrived just in time!" He said to his deputy, "Go and invite them over. I have something to tell you."
