At a time like this, I know that I have to hold them down in momentum.


    The horse gang of Kokang self defense forces finally succumbed under the pressure of the enemy and death. The commander wisely chose to save everyone''s lives.


    So half an hour later, the caravan of the Kokang self defense force announced its surrender.


    I ordered a team leader to take people down the mountain to accept the surrender. At the same time, I followed the team and continued to search for Alai''s shadow with binoculars


    I haven''t seen Alai.


    I ordered the commander of the other side to come over and asked if there was a Lai in his team. The commander thought for a long time, shook his head and said that he really didn''t.


    The commander doesn''t look like a liar.


    It seems that Alai didn''t follow the convoy of drugs.


    I ordered the team leader to gather the prisoners. I assured them that after all the fighting, they would come and go freely, but they could not be let go for the time being.


    The leader of the detachment took people to clean the battlefield, gathered people and horses, simply bandaged the wounded, and buried the dead on the spot. Several people died on the other side, and more than a dozen of us were injured, but not dead.


    I excitedly asked someone to send a message to Lao Qin: the battle here has ended smoothly and won a complete victory. You can take action there!


    Lao Qin then replied to me: have you inspected the goods yet?


    I am a Leng, busy let the team leader take people to inspect the goods.


    At this time, I feel that Lao Qin is a little too careful. He thinks that inspection is actually unnecessary.


    I then asked someone to send a message to Li Shun: the battle is over, it''s going well, it''s a complete victory, I haven''t seen Alai


    A moment later, Li Shun called back, did not mention Alai, and asked directly: have you inspected the goods?


    Qin Shun and Li are most concerned about this.


    Is it a fake that I''ve worked so hard to take away? Is it true that they have mobilized more than 100 people to transport fake goods? Is that possible?


    I lit a cigarette, smoked it slowly, and looked around


    After a while, one of the team leaders came to me stuttering and stammering with a pale face: "Deputy Deputy commander in chief It''s not good


    "What''s the matter?" Looking at the look of the team leader, I felt ominous.


    "The load of a mule It''s all grain It''s not the goods we want. " Said the team leader.


    Ah, I was surprised, looking at the team leader: "have you checked everything?"


    "Yes All checked I have personally inspected all the goods. They are grain... "


    My heart beat, strode to the mule and horse, took out a knife, and thrust it into the bag -


    if it was grain, it was all white rice.


    I poked several bags in succession. They were all rice.


    Shit, if there''s no ice, it''s all rice.


    Have I been deceived? Did I fall into a trap?


    I went to interrogate the commander in a hurry. The commander was at a loss. He said he didn''t know anything about drugs. He said he was only ordered to escort the goods to the designated border. As for why we should mobilize troops to rob the rice, he thought it was very strange at the beginning. He always wanted to ask, but he didn''t dare to ask.


    At this moment, the commander seems to understand something, understand that we regard the goods he escorted as drugs, so we ambush them. Now that he understood, there was no need for him to ask.


    Disbelief, the detachment leader put a sharp saber on the commander''s neck and threatened him to cut off his throat and cut off his head if he didn''t tell the truth. The leader of the branch is really anxious. He looks fierce. Commander Putong fell on his knees, sniveling and crying, and swore to God that he really didn''t know about drugs.


    I don''t think the commander is lying. In addition, he didn''t find Alai in the team. It seems that he can verify this.


    I''ll have the commander in custody.


    "Deputy commander in chief, what should we do?" A team leader looked at me and thrust his saber into the ground.


    I didn''t speak for a moment, thinking.


    "After so many days of hard work, it turned out to be a fake That''s too much for me Said the detachment leader with dismay.


    I was very nervous at this time. What I was thinking was not where the real product was, but whether it was part of the whole conspiracy of wood and the Kokang self defense forces, and whether we were hit by their tricks.


    If that is the case, it will be tragic. Lao Qin''s surprise attack plan will fail miserably, and Li Shun''s base camp will also be attacked. At this time, the base camp is empty. If the enemy attacks at this time, Li Shun will be more or less lucky.


    Thinking of this, I felt a cold sweat on my forehead, and immediately sent a secret telegram to Li Shun and Lao Qin with the same content: the goods were fake, we didn''t find what we wanted, so we must have fallen into the trap


    After sending the telegram, I asked someone to unload all the food from the mule horse and gather them together to inform the villagers in the stockade to come from the bank to collect it.


    Although the food is very attractive, the mountain people are watching from a distance, but no one dares to come.


    I know that after we leave, they will come and divide up the rice naturally, and they will not pay attention to it at this time.I waited anxiously for Lao Qin and Li Shun''s reply.


    Soon Lao Qin replied, "sure enough I always have a strange feeling that this action is too smooth I just can''t figure out what the problem is Now I finally understand. "


    "Is this a conspiracy? Are we caught?" I asked Lao Qin.


    "It''s a conspiracy, but we''re not." Lao Qin replied.


    "Why?" I don''t understand.


    "Because this conspiracy is not specifically aimed at us, but the specific preventive measures they take for the safety of the goods. They deliberately and flagrantly take this road to transport the goods, attract the attention of the people who want to buy the goods, so as to ensure the safe transportation of the real drugs


    "Just now, I exchanged views with the commander-in-chief and agreed that the opponent still did not know our plan of action. The strategy they adopted was not specifically aimed at us. The goal was loose I guess their real goods must have taken another route, which we didn''t detect. Because the attention of our scouts is attracted by this horse gang. "


    "What shall we do now? Give up this action plan? Stop your attack plan? " I said.


    "It''s my duty. I can''t go back, I can''t stop Not to mention the cost of lurking these days, just say retreat, it''s easy for the other party to find out. Once found out, there will be fierce fighting at their door, and then we will be very passive Moreover, it''s very likely that it will be copied back to the old nest


    "At present, although we have encircled and suppressed this horse team, their base camp does not know the news of the ambush for the time being because we knocked out his radio station first. In this way, we still have the hope of winning."


    "You mean..."


    "I''m sending people to collect intelligence. Meanwhile, the people lurking here are closely watching the movements of the headquarters of the Kokang self defense forces You''ll arrange for some people to take the prisoners back, and others will stand by. When I get the latest news, we''ll decide the next step. "


    "Good!"


    I, the Deputy commander-in-chief, could not help but listen to the arrangement of the chief of staff.


    Looking at the captured 60 mules and horses, I decided to send 40 people with heavy weapons to escort the prisoners back to the base camp. The remaining 60 people only carried light weapons to follow me for the next step.


    I thought about it. Next, I''ll march on horseback. It''s fast.


    Intuitively, I had a subconscious sense that I would have another fight.


    Looking at the escorts leaving and the bodies just buried, I couldn''t help feeling a great chagrin. Damn, I didn''t have to fire to kill people if I knew the goods were fake. Ah, these dead people are so innocent.


    But at the same time, I think that if I don''t kill them, they will shoot us. Our kindness to them can''t be exchanged for their tolerance to us. War always kills people. War is always cruel. Kindness on the battlefield is not important. It''s at the cost of life.


    In this way, it seems that my heart is comforted, but in fact, I know that my comfort is temporary. In fact, I feel very uneasy


    This uneasiness may accompany me for a long time


    In the anxious waiting, I didn''t wait for Lao Qin''s reply, but I received Li Shun''s order: hurry to Jiangkou stronghold, be sure to arrive before 12 o''clock tonight and launch an attack, while seizing the goods, pay attention to searching for Alai, find Alai and kill him immediately


    Jiangkou, located in the upper reaches of the Mekong River, is a small ferry less than 10 kilometers from the border, about 120 kilometers away. Li Shun asked us to launch an attack before 12 o''clock tonight, which is already 6 p.m., less than six hours. From here to Jiangkou, it is difficult to cross the smuggling trail in the virgin forest of no man''s land.


    At the same time, Li Shun''s order is very vague, attack? Attack on what? Is it an attack on the stockade? Step on the river estuary?


    On the one hand, I ordered the team to gather and all the staff to mount. On the other hand, I ordered the signalman to reply my question to Li Shun.


    Soon, Li Shun replied to a long secret telegram and explained to me exactly what was going on.


    It turned out that the shrewd opponent was really a cunning fox. He made great efforts in the transportation of these drugs, and sent a powerful horse team to swagger through the hinterland of the golden triangle, attracting the attention of many heroes. At the same time, they quietly sent a small number of camouflage personnel to take drugs as ordinary goods and directly loaded them on unimportant freighters. Taking advantage of the continuous rain in the upper reaches and the surging water in the lower reaches, they went up against the current. All the crew dressed up as good people of commercial freighters and went straight to the upper reaches without stopping.


    They have three motor boats, all of which are dressed by boatman. There are about 30 people in total, about 10 people in each boat. At present, the three freighters are berthing at the ferry of jiangkouzhai. They have just arrived at Jiangkou in the afternoon. They may have to unload the cargo in the second half of the night and then transport it directly to the border.


    There is no doubt that Lao Qin got all this information.No wonder Li Shun asked me to arrive before midnight and launch an attack. It turned out that I wanted to attack the three cargo ships. Is there Alai among the 30?


    Looking at Li Shun''s tone, it seems that he thinks a Lai should be in it.
