In this operation to capture the drug dealers, Lu Miao and his men used all their strength. There were more than 400 people deployed at the manor, and they were all equipped with the current M1 Garand rifles and submachine guns.
Although, if Hong Yitang wanted, it could directly equip itself with Fangyuan Military's self-produced G3 assault rifles, but there are not many of these rifles in the army now, so it is obviously not suitable for their militia organizations to equip them.
The reason why the Brazilian army has not fully replaced its equipment with the G3 assault rifle is not because the gun has any defects, but because the cost of replacement is too high and the army's military expenditure cannot support large-scale replacement of the entire army.
It can only be equipped on a small scale in some elite troops. These troops that use this weapon generally have a high opinion of it, making the troops that are not equipped with it envious.
However, Fang Lang was willing to invest in the Marine Corps under his command and had already carried out a comprehensive replacement of its equipment. Because of this, many army generals disliked the Marine Corps.
In this case, the militia here is naturally not well equipped to surpass the ordinary army. But even so, such a militia is definitely not something that the Qing Gang drug dealers can resist.
But when the time came to 11:40, fierce gunfire rang out around the manor. These Green Gang drug dealers were obviously caught off guard by this sudden attack.
Many people had just laid down to sleep when they heard a few loud shouts:
"Police! Everyone, put your hands on your head and squat!"
...
...
These guys who had just laid down reflexively took out their weapons and prepared to resist, but this time the police would not be polite to them. Anyone they saw with a weapon would be shot with a volley of bullets.
This is also the reason why gunshots can be heard around the manor.
The sudden gunshots naturally alarmed several Green Gang leaders in the center of the manor. They all got up from their beds and leaned against the windows to look outside.
Huang Guangli was the first to react. After all, he had been active on the front line for many years and his overall condition was still very good.
He did not originally live in the manor, and he and his family had a small building of their own not far from the manor. This time it was just too late, and the opium had just been put into the warehouse, so he could not leave yet, so he stayed in the manor temporarily.
From the first gunshot, he knew something was wrong. When he looked out the window and saw that the people rushing to meet him were wearing police uniforms, he immediately realized that his feeling was correct.
From the beginning, they were being targeted, and the people who targeted them were indeed the police. But no one expected the police would wait until this moment to take action.
One look at the large number of police officers made him realize that the Green Gang was doomed and resistance was simply seeking death, but he was also unwilling to surrender, so he immediately prepared to sneak out of the manor and escape back to his home, taking his wife and children and fleeing Brazil.
He knew very well in his heart that he was definitely registered with the Brazilian police and would be hanged if caught, so he did not dare to harbor any hope.
After quickly putting on his clothes, he rushed out of the room before the police officers came to surround him. But he did not leave directly, because he knew very well that it was almost impossible for him to sneak away alone in the current situation outside.
Someone helped him to attract the fire, so he had the opportunity to escape the manor. After figuring this out, he rushed directly to a group of young Green Gang members who had just gotten up and were responsible for guarding the manor.
"Brothers, we are surrounded by police outside. As you all know, the Brazilian Legislative Assembly has just passed an anti-drug bill. Anyone who sells more than 100 grams of drugs will be hanged.
Everyone knows how much opium there is in our manor. These policemen are clearly trying to kill us. If you don't want to die, rush out with me and fight them to the death."
When the younger brothers heard this, they immediately panicked. Some of them used to be in the Green Gang in Shanghai, while some joined after arriving in Brazil.
But no matter whether they were experienced or new, their calves could not help but tremble when they heard that they were going to risk their lives. But Huang Guangli also made it very clear that the current situation did not allow them to think too much, and they could only bite the bullet and obey his command.
In fact, they were all used by Huang Guangli. You must know that crimes are divided into principal offenders and accomplices. People like Huang Guangli who are responsible for transportation will definitely not escape the hanging, but many of their younger brothers are not even qualified to enjoy the hanging.
But now that Huang Guangli said this, everyone thought that everyone would be sentenced to death, so of course they had no choice but to fight the police to their death.
"Brother Li, we listen to you. You decide how we fight!"
"Yes, Brother Li, let's show these policemen how powerful we are."
At one point, all the younger brothers, whether they were sincere or the atmosphere was right, began to express their opinions.
Seeing this, Huang Guangli was delighted, but he remained calm and said:
“If we stay in the manor, we will definitely be dead. Once the police completely surround us in the manor, we will be like turtles in a jar, unable to escape even if we have wings.
Now the only way to escape is to take advantage of the gap before they completely surround us and fight our way out.
Once we escape, no one will be able to say that we have anything to do with the opium in the manor, and then we will be able to survive."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. That's right! If I was blocked in the manor, I would be caught red-handed. But if I ran away, even if I was caught outside, who could say that I was involved in opium trafficking?
In fact, these words were just Huang Guangli's deliberate trickery. For such a large operation, how could the police not conduct a detailed investigation first! Whether he was the main culprit or not, the police had already known it clearly. It made no difference whether he was blocked in the manor or not.
Besides, even if they escaped, there would definitely be some people who were caught in the manor! Wouldn't these people give them away?
But at this tense moment, no one had time to seriously think about Huang Guangli's words, but instead regarded his words as a life-saving straw.
"Brother Li, what are we waiting for? Go!"
"Yeah! Brother Li, let's rush to the dock and jump into the river, then they won't be able to catch us."
Upon hearing this, Huang Guangli looked at the person who suggested rushing to the river with some surprise, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Okay, this brother is right. Let's rush to the river, jump into the river, and float downstream."
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, as if they saw hope of survival. Then everyone rushed out the door without hesitation.
Zhang Huzi on the second floor was also startled when he was awakened by the gunshots. When he saw the dense black shadows surrounding the manor outside the window, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Fortunately, as a leader of the Qing Gang, he had not lost his composure. He quickly opened the door and ran to his master's room, without even glancing at his panic-stricken wife.
As soon as I opened the master's room, I saw the old man with a goatee, who was wearing clothes in a messy look, and said:
"Quick, quick, have someone light up the opium in the warehouse. We can't let them catch us in the act."
Zhang Huzi, who was originally preparing to bring his men to fight the police outside, was stunned for a moment, and could not help but said with disbelief:
"Master, this is all our family assets. If it gets burned, all our savings over the years will be gone."
Seeing that Zhang Huzi still wanted to keep the opium, the old man with the goat beard could not help but say with regret:
"It's stupid. Those outside are police, not other gangs coming to rob goods. If they find our goods, we will be dead.
Are you going to fight with so many policemen with our few guns?"
Hearing this, Zhang Huzi was obviously very unconvinced and retorted:
"These are useless policemen. It's not that I look down on them. Even if we give them twice as many people, they still can't get in."
Upon hearing this, the old man with a goatee became anxious and picked up a walking stick beside him and hit him.
"You idiot, didn't you see the firepower of others? Are they ordinary police? Even if they can't get in now, what about tomorrow? The more they fight, the more reinforcements they will get. What about us?
Besides, didn’t you say that Huang Guangli had asked Kuizi to hide some of the goods outside? With that batch of goods, we can still make a comeback when the time comes.”
At this moment, Zhang Huzi suddenly realized and nodded quickly:
"Yes, Master, I will go and light the fire now."
After saying that, he ran downstairs without looking back. As he ran, he ordered his men to organize a defense to buy him time to destroy the evidence.
At the same time, on the river more than ten kilometers away, several small sampans were taking advantage of the night and quietly moving towards two fishing boats parked in the river.
At this moment, there was only a small wind lantern swaying in the wind on the fishing boat. Except for a young man who was dozing off at the cabin door and nodding his head from time to time like a chicken pecking at rice, everyone else was obviously asleep.
As the sampan approached, several dark figures quickly jumped onto the two fishing boats. The sudden arrival of the people caused the fishing boats to shake violently.
The young man at the hatch hadn't figured out what was happening yet. He just felt a shake and then a cold gun barrel was pressed against his forehead.
Before he could scream, his mouth was covered by someone. Just as he was about to reach out for a weapon, the dark figure who was holding him pulled him forward fiercely and threw him onto the deck, and the movement of his hands also changed to supporting the ground.
Then someone kneed him hard in the back and the gun on his waist was taken away.
It was not until this moment that a series of loud shouts came to my ears:
"Police, everyone, don't move."
Several people sleeping in the cabin were instantly awakened when the ship began to shake violently, but before everyone could react, the front and rear doors were violently kicked open, and then several dark shadows rushed in with guns.
Although the young man Zhang Da Kui was the leader of this group of people, he had never experienced real combat, and he never expected to be suddenly attacked by the police.
As the hatch was kicked open, warnings were heard one after another, announcing their identities. Only then did he understand what was happening.
I have to say that this guy is also a ruthless person. When he saw the police rushing into the cabin, he had no intention of surrendering. Without thinking, he took out the gun beside him and fired two shots at a dark shadow in front of him.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. When the police saw someone resisting, there was nothing to say and they pulled the trigger at him.
In an instant, four or five bullets hit his torso, one of which hit his shoulder, and the hand holding the gun instantly lost strength.
The other drug dealers were also terrified when they saw the police shooting without hesitation, and they all shouted:
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, we surrender!"
The drug dealers, who only had eight people, were no match for the police officers who had several times more manpower, and they quickly chose to surrender. Unfortunately, one of the police officers was seriously injured because of Zhang Dagui's resistance. Otherwise, this operation would have been perfect.
I have to say that this operation was actually very risky. It was only because they encountered a novice, otherwise the police casualties would definitely not be limited.
Fortunately, the result is still good.
The only drug dealer who resisted, Zhang Da Kui, was shot dead on the spot, which was the fate of a drug dealer.
Just as the operation on the river was progressing smoothly, the operation in the direction of the manor also quickly achieved results.
This was all thanks to Huang Guangli's organization of a breakout, which allowed a group of drug dealers and gunmen to run out of the sturdy rooms of the manor on their own initiative. As soon as these guys ran out, they ran head-on into the police who were surrounding them.
Fierce gunfire immediately broke out between the two sides. The drug dealers armed with pistols were no match for the rigorously trained police officers and militiamen.
Five or six drug dealers fell down in one encounter, but even so, they still did not give up and tried desperately to break out.
The person in charge of this attack was Lu Miao. At first, he wanted to beat these drug dealers back, but he quickly realized that instead of blocking them in the room and letting the police officers fight a tough battle, it would be better to lure them out and have a wild battle on the lawn outside the manor.
So he quickly ordered the police officers to reduce their firepower and let the other party run out.
Seeing the police's firepower weaken, the drug dealers seemed to be encouraged and rushed out desperately. When they were more than ten meters away from the manor, Lu Miao gave the order to "open fire"
Then the police officers pulled the trigger one after another and opened fire on the drug dealers who were only thinking of escaping quickly. For a while, gunshots rang out and drug dealers who rushed out of the manor fell down one after another. No one organized an effective resistance.
Seeing this, Lu Miao ordered some police officers to chase the escaped drug dealers, while he led another group of police officers to rush into the manor through the door opened by the drug dealers.
At this time, Zhang Huzi did not know that the manor, which he thought was strong, had a door opened by someone. The police officers and a group of militiamen rushed directly into the manor from this side.
Zhang Huzi, who was preparing ignition materials for the opium that had just been delivered to the warehouse, was blocked by police officers before he could light it.
Faced with more than a dozen black gun muzzles, Zhang Huzi finally did not have the courage to shoot. He obediently threw the pistol in his hand aside and chose to raise his hands in surrender.
With Zhang Huzi's surrender, the police quickly took control of the entire manor. The former cancer of Shanghai, thousands of miles away in Casuarina do Sul, Brazil, was completely wiped out by the Brazilian police.
While the drug dealers were breaking out from the main gate, Huang Guangli quietly slipped out of the manor through the side door, attempting to escape through the farmland to the river.
But just as they approached the river, their true identities were exposed by several searchlights that suddenly lit up. They obediently dropped their weapons, put their hands on their heads, and knelt down.
The sudden gunfire that night scared many people so much that they couldn't sleep, and they thought they had returned to the battlefield in their hometown.
It was not until the next morning, when the police continued to arrest members of the Green Gang who had escaped, that everyone realized that there was no war, but that the police were taking action against drug dealers.
This made the people, who were originally worried, applaud and praise.
