Chapter 975: Encountering a smuggling convoy, and still daring to pull opium
The villagers were unaware of the situation here. Under Wang Yun's command, they were either sitting on the tanks or squatting next to the tanks, taking photos in batches.
Amidst the busyness, County Magistrate Zhou looked at Zhou Weiguo, who had been standing there quietly waiting, and walked over to ask tentatively, "General, can we take a photo together?"
Zhou Weiguo looked at those expectant eyes and nodded. "No problem, but I have to remind you first, you can keep it as a souvenir, but you can't use the photos taken with me to bully people or do anything under my name. If I find out."
"I know, they just want to take a photo with the general." County Magistrate Zhou said with a smile.
Zhou Weiguo took Asaka Hiderei and Minamizō Akiko to the side of the tank, while Xiao Ya had temporarily gone to Xuzhou on a transport plane to deploy the independent brigade command headquarters.
Not long after the photo was taken, news came from the front that a group of ducks raised by local people ran out of the fields and blocked the road. The soldiers in front had to stop to help drive away these brave ducks, and then continue on their way.
After leaving the address here, Wang Yun got on the car that Zhou Weiguo was in. The troops continued to move north, passed Zunyi, and then went north to Loushan Pass and Tongzi, and officially entered the jurisdiction of the mountain city.
The road here is winding and it is obvious that the road here has undergone emergency repairs. After Zhou Weiguo arrived here, he started to let the tanks go in front and directly crushed the road firmly, which made it easier for the vehicles behind to pass.
Not long after entering the mountain city area, the road ahead stopped again.
Zhou Weiguo frowned at the scattered villages. "Why did we stop again? We've been delayed for a while, and Xuzhou is waiting for our rescue."
Just as he finished speaking, Xu Hu, who was in the front, ran over and said, "Brigade Commander, there's a convoy ahead of us. They're signaling us to make way. They're going to go first."
"There's no road anymore." Zhou Weiguo got out of the car, put on his white gloves, and looked ahead. "What kind of convoy?"
"I heard it's a convoy transporting supplies to Yunnan, and the people from the Second Division are escorting them. These people are making a lot of noise."
"The Second Division is escorting supplies?" Chao Xiang Xiuling clicked her tongue; "What does this have to do with their Second Division?"
hum...
Zhou Weiguo snorted coldly. He remembered that the situation at the front and in the rear was tight. It meant that these two places and some people in the mountain city were colluding to resell military supplies and smuggle opium.
We couldn’t even get enough to eat before, but these people have a way of making money instead of doing their job.
Zhou Weiguo walked forward without saying a word. Before he arrived, he heard a man in a black Zhongshan suit in front of him shouting.
"Do you know who we're working for? We're working for Commander Long. We need to get this batch of supplies to Yunnan as quickly as possible. How dare you block our way? I see you don't know. Let me tell you. Even if you are..."
Zhou Weiguo took out his pistol, loaded it, aimed it directly at the other person's thigh and pulled the trigger.
After the gunshot, the people around were stunned, and then the man looked down, and saw the blood gushing from his thigh, and he fell to the ground with a cry: "Murder! Brothers, go ahead!"
"Don't move." Those who surrounded them were sharp-edged soldiers, and the machine gunner on the motorcycle simply pulled the bolt and aimed it at the dozen or so soldiers in military police uniforms.
Maybe the military police can act arrogantly in the rear, but to the soldiers fighting on the front line, the military police are nothing. If you make them angry, they can kill you.
The ferocious muzzles of a group of guns made more than a dozen people squat on the ground with their hands raised.
"Can you talk to my soldiers properly now?" Zhou Weiguo walked over and squatted beside him, pressing his hand on the man's wound and asked.
"Ouch, mother, help!" The man screamed in pain. Asaka Hiderei said to Minamizō Akiko beside her, "The head of the family seems angry.
"He couldn't even bear to scold his soldiers. What kind of people are they? At best, they're just some small-time people from the Second Division. How dare they speak so arrogantly? We all crawled out of the dead. We just got out of one place and now we have to go to another place to die. These people are still scolding us. If he doesn't seek death, who will?"
"I'm asking you a question. Can you please speak properly?" Zhou Weiguo stretched out a finger and poked the other person's wound. "Hmm, the bone is quite hard. I didn't penetrate it."
"Sir, sir, this is all a misunderstanding. I will immediately move the truck to the side.
Zhou Weiguo didn't intend to take care of this matter, at least not yet. How could he? The northern route was dangerous and he needed to rush there quickly. So, as for this group of people smuggling, the best he could do was to tell Commander Bai about it and let him handle it.
"That's right, you're from the Second Division, right? Not to mention you, even your fourth brother Deng Yaoxian and the three Xu Chuans wouldn't dare to speak like that in front of me. Who do you think you are? If you piss me off, I can directly surround your Second Division headquarters. Believe it or not."
Zhou Weiguo stood up, took off his gloves and threw them on the ground.
A gust of wind blew over, and the smell of blood filled the air. Zhou Weiguo looked at the dozen or so people who were already shivering and snorted slightly. They couldn't bear it anymore. If they went to the battlefield, they would become deserters.
woohoo...
Zhao Shoutian, who was standing next to him, took two deep breaths and sighed, "Second Master, something's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Weiguo took out a pair of gloves and put them on again and asked.
Zhao Shoutian pointed at the trucks. "It smells like opium."
Zhou Weiguo frowned instantly and turned to look at Zhao Shoutian; "Are you sure?"
Zhao Shoutian hummed, "With the two of them in charge, I can't guarantee anything else, but I will definitely remember this thing correctly. Have you forgotten our Qingfeng Village?"
How could I forget? Zhu Ziming, Du Wu and others all smoked this, but later they were tied to a pillar and forced to quit. Zhu Ziming cried and begged me to kill him during those days, and then he was beaten by his sister-in-law until there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body.
"And it's 99% rare." Zhao Shoutian's expression of nostalgia made Zhou Weiguo raise his hand and slap him on the helmet. "What do you want to do with such a slutty expression? Do you want to have a few bites?"
"I'm innocent." Zhao Shoutian touched his head. "How could I dare to do that? If my sister-in-law knew about this, she would definitely kill me. Even if she didn't kill me, you, the second-in-command, wouldn't let me go."
Zhou Weiguo snorted coldly and pointed at Zhao Shoutian. "I'm warning you, don't let me know you're using this. If I find out, you know what I'll do to you."
"Hey." Zhao Shoutian replied cautiously, but Zhou Weiguo ignored him and walked over to the man who was groaning and hadn't gotten up yet. He squatted down and asked with a gloomy look, "What's in the car?"
Zhou Weiguo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, hummed, and patted his face with his hand; "You gave me a chance, but you didn't take it, right?"
