Chapter 381
Both sides seemed to be caught in a mad obsession. Not only did they repair their positions and fortifications, but they also expanded the teams participating in the battle.
In the end, almost all the able-bodied men in the two villages participated in the battle. A rough estimate showed that the number of them reached as many as 5,000.
In the rear, women and children were also not left out. They took on the responsibility of logistics and transported supplies and medicines to the front line.
The villagers took out all the weapons hidden in their homes, and the variety was astonishing.
Among them are mortars, homemade cannons, homemade pistols, explosive packs, hunting rifles, etc., and even self-modified artillery vehicles.
With the determination to not give up until the opposing village is destroyed, they fought a fierce battle.
At the beginning of the battle, both sides first attacked each other's positions with artillery, then competed for the commanding heights, launched interspersed charges, and carried out guerrilla warfare.
The village with a village clinic was directly converted into a rear medical station, and the village without one directly snatched the medicines from the veterinary station.
After the first battle, the villagers were either dead or injured, but they had no intention of giving up. Instead, they ignited everyone's anger to the highest point and continued with military planning and deployment.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of local police.
When the police arrived at the scene, everyone was stunned by what they saw!
Wow! This wasn't just a typical village brawl; it was like ten battalions engaged in a proper war! And both sides fought with such passion and professionalism.
The local police immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly dispatched a large number of personnel to try to mediate and stop this crazy killing.
However, their good intentions were met with fierce resentment from the leaders of both sides. These people, who were so angry that they didn't take the police seriously at all, threw stones at them, waved weapons, and tried to drive them away.
In order to prevent the outside world from disturbing their immersive battle, they not only destroyed the roads leading to the outside world and blocked the roads tightly with boulders and trees, but also sent a group of strong villagers to surround the police, making it impossible for the police to carry out their operations normally.
The police were blocked outside and could do nothing to stop the tragic scene inside.
In order to control the situation, the police had to send more and more people here. Looking back, it was all over! The house had been robbed!
In order to expand the battle, one side of the fight was so bold as to rob the county's ammunition depot and stole many new weapons. This was a disastrous event!
The deployment of this batch of sophisticated weapons will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the other side.
The other side suffered repeated defeats and finally gave in in desperation and sent people out for help. This also attracted the attention of provincial leaders, who immediately dispatched armed police forces to stop the situation.
In the early morning of the third day, the government finally dispatched thousands of armed police to the scene, but the two sides, who were in a murderous frenzy, continued to fire gunfire and shout, refusing to stop.
Finally, helicopters, armored vehicles and tear gas were dispatched to forcibly separate the villagers who were still fighting, ending the bloody massacre that lasted for 34 hours.
According to the police's subsequent inventory, a total of four artillery vehicles, nearly 100 homemade cannons, dozens of homemade guns, more than 200 kilograms of explosives, more than 2,000 detonators, and more than 200 homemade grenades were seized.
The leader involved was arrested, but the casualties and destruction in the two villages were very heavy. The entire battle resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries.
Think about the time during the War of Liberation, when an independent regiment only had 1,000 people.
Now the scale is even greater, and there are so many good guns and cannons. You can imagine how bad the subsequent impact will be.
After this tragedy, the serious feudal patriarchal forces and the proliferation of guns in rural areas were directly exposed to the public.
Both the government and the public realize that if decisive measures are not taken, similar horrific tragedies are likely to happen again.
At the same time, with the development of society, various contradictions have gradually intensified, and gun crime cases have also increased year by year.
By 1996, there were more than 10,000 gun-related crimes nationwide, vicious crimes occurred frequently, public security problems became increasingly serious, and the government faced enormous social pressure.
Finally, in 1996, the central government made up its mind and issued a new "Gun Management Measures", which began to completely ban civilian possession of guns.
This is the first time that such a strict gun ban has been implemented since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The new policy not only prohibits the manufacture, possession and trading of guns, but even imitation guns are included in the ban.
The implementation of this gun ban policy marked the official entry of China into the era of comprehensive gun ban, which led to the subsequent stable and peaceful living environment.
The nephew poked Su Miao's arm curiously, waking her from her deep thoughts: "Aunt, this is the gun your grandfather left behind. Do you still have it at home?"
Su Miao came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, I don't need a gun when I live in the city."
Then she said to her uncle suggestively, "Uncle, I heard that gun control is getting stricter and stricter. Our teacher said that all civilian guns will be confiscated soon."
Hearing her say this, Second Uncle touched his chin and thought for a moment: "Is that so? Then won't it become increasingly difficult to buy bullets in the future? We should stock up now before the control becomes too strict."
Three drops of sweat dripped down Su Miao's forehead, and he thought helplessly, that's not what she meant!
"Uncle, I heard that if you don't hand it over and hide it secretly, you will be arrested and thrown into prison!"
"Miao, don't worry. Your second uncle is a law-abiding man. If they really force you to hand over the gun, we'll convince your seventh uncle to hand it over. At worst, we can just remove the stock and keep it as a souvenir. But since they haven't asked to hand it over yet, we'll just use it first."
Hearing his second uncle's answer, Su Miao nodded with satisfaction.
She was afraid that because this gun had a special meaning, her seventh uncle would be unwilling to hand it over, which would cause trouble later. After all, this was the general trend, and the law was an irresistible bottom line.
Although Dahei and Dahuang were injured today, fortunately their internal organs were not damaged, and their self-healing ability is very strong. After applying medicine and bandaging, they are jumping around again.
When they heard that their owners were discussing going up the mountain to hunt pigs in a few days, they excitedly crowded in, wagging their tails wildly, as if begging their owners to take them with them.
Second uncle shook his head and said, "You are all injured. Rest well at home. Just take the two from Seventh uncle's house with you."
Hearing that not only would their uncle not take them with him, but he was even going to take their mortal enemies, Dawei and Xiaowei, the two dogs were so disheartened that they fell directly to the ground, making whimpering sounds similar to crying in their throats.
Second Aunt came over and saw how pitiful they looked, so she said, "There are still two days left. If they recover well in those two days, take them with you. Otherwise, they won't be able to hold their heads up in front of Dawei and Xiaowei anymore."
The second uncle had no choice but to nod and agree.
The two dogs got what they wanted, and they jumped up happily again, chasing each other's tails and playing.
