Chapter 716 Return 1
Today, the logistics staff of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill who followed the convoy to Tianjin to transport sea fish were truly eye-opening. Although they were all asked to stay on the trucks honestly, out of curiosity, everyone still lay in the carriage and looked outside.
Although it was snowing non-stop, ordinary people could only vaguely see the situation a few hundred meters away, but the fierce gunshots that rang out one after another were still clearly heard by these people from afar. Everyone was nervous and tried to look at the direction where the gunshots came from. The timid people couldn't help but tremble all over, secretly regretting how unlucky they were. Usually, if they could go out with the convoy, in addition to the normal travel allowance, they could also save money on a few meals. If they were lucky, they could even bring back some local specialties.
Although I didn't have the chance to buy some extra sea fish today, Deputy Director Li Huaide said that after returning to the steel rolling mill, everyone who followed the convoy to pull sea fish today will be rewarded with two kilograms of fish.
Just now, while sitting on the truck on the way back, everyone was still whispering about how to cook the sea fish they were given when they got home, but no one expected that a gunfight would break out at this moment.
Compared with the logistical staff of the steel mill, the drivers of the steel mill were much calmer. Although they had taken out their weapons from their seats and loaded bullets into their chambers, they were relieved when they saw the security team members sitting next to them with calm expressions.
As for the drivers of the four light trucks at the Security Department's training base, they were also members of the action team. At this moment, they were just smoking and gazing ahead with envy. Their task today was to drive, and they had no chance to fight side by side with their comrades, which was somewhat regrettable.
When the gunfire in the distance stopped, the people on the truck were surprised to see that a middle-aged man who got off the jeep in front was directing the members of the action team to carefully dig out black iron lumps from the road. Someone had already recognized the identity of these iron lumps, and they turned out to be landmines.
Then, bursts of suppressed discussions were heard in the truck. My goodness! Who could have thought that there were so many mines buried on the road not far ahead? If the truck they were riding in ran over them, the consequences would be disastrous.
Only when all the mines were placed on the first light truck by the team members and the convoy began to move slowly with a long horn sound from the jeep, did the logistics staff of the steel mill on the trucks behind breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the convoy stopped in front of a hillside after advancing less than two kilometers. Then the action team members came over and asked all the logistics staff to get to work. Everyone worked together to transfer all the sacks originally loaded on the first light truck to the other three light trucks.
Then the logistics staff of the steel rolling mill were surprised to see that members of the Security Department's action team were walking quickly down the hillside with ammunition boxes on their shoulders. Everyone then realized that the cargo on this light truck had just been loaded into three other light trucks in order to load the captured weapons and ammunition.
The members of the action team ignored the curious looks of the logistics staff. After unloading the ammunition boxes they were carrying onto the truck, they immediately hurried back to the middle of the hillside.
At this time, a logistics staff member couldn't help but whispered: "Wow, these people in the security department are really strong. Each of them can carry two ammunition boxes and still walk briskly."
A young man nearby said unconvincedly, "Even if the ammunition box is full of bullets, a box of bullets only weighs more than 60 kilograms. I don't believe that a strong young man can't carry 120 to 130 kilograms."
Another middle-aged man in his forties said, "Okay, stop talking. The car won't be able to go fast in this horrible weather today. It's at least 200 kilometers away from the capital. If nothing goes wrong on the road, we'll be lucky to reach the steel mill in the first half of the night."
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, several other logistics staff members of the steel rolling mill nearby also echoed him, and the two young men who had just spoken could only shut up in disappointment.
At this time, the members of the action team appeared in everyone's sight again, but this time they were no longer carrying ammunition boxes on their shoulders, but two wooden boxes more than one meter long, which were obviously filled with captured weapons.
The team members had just put the boxes on the first light truck when they suddenly heard a series of crisp gunshots coming from halfway up the hill. All the team members immediately turned around and ran at full speed in the direction where the gunshots came from.
When the action team members arrived, they found that it was Deputy Director Li Huaide who shot and killed the two enemy spies who had just awakened. After hearing Zhou Hong's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then each of them picked up the bodies of two enemy spies and walked down the hillside.
After seeing the action team members carrying two bodies lightly, coming to the truck and throwing them into the car easily, the young man who was a little unconvinced just now had to shut up honestly. My goodness, the action team members of the Security Department were each carrying two bodies, and each body of these enemy spies weighed at least more than 100 kilograms. But seeing the action team members' indifferent looks, the young man could only feel ashamed of himself.
After all the bodies were loaded onto the trucks, the convoy continued to move forward, but after just two or three kilometers, it stopped again.
This time, the logistics staff of the steel mill were required to stay on the trucks, and they could only look around curiously.
In less than ten minutes, the bodies of the twenty-seven Slavs, along with all their weapons and equipment, were loaded onto trucks by the team members, and the convoy continued to move forward.
Just when the logistics staff were rejoicing that they could finally set off back to the capital, the convoy stopped again. Everyone lay on the partition of the carriage with a depressed look on their faces, looking out curiously.
It turned out that the road not far ahead was blocked by a pile of rocks and two dead trees, and was already covered with a layer of snow.
The members of the action team had already jumped off the trucks and started moving rocks and dead trees, throwing them on both sides of the road. They quickly cleaned up the area, then everyone returned to the trucks and the convoy continued to move forward.
