Chapter 630 There must be him(1/2)
Eston worried, "Captain Cooper, are you a little weak in leading only one platoon of troops?"
Cooper smiled and said, "The thugs are nothing more than some mobs. I have a platoon of troops that are enough."
Eston has served as a soldier and knows all the little ones in the army. In a company, there are three or four platoons on the surface. The number of soldiers in each platoon is basically the same, but the firepower configuration is different. In other words, in a company, there must be a certain platoon that is the main platoon of the company, and its combat effectiveness is much greater than that of other platoons.
Seeing through and not saying it out loud, Cooper gave himself enough face in front of his subordinates. Then, he should also try his best to maintain the heroic spirit that Captain Cooper showed.
"Very good, Captain Cooper, I accept your advice." Eston said, throwing a knowing smile at Cooper.
Cooper nodded and continued, "I guess the riot will happen after dawn. Director Eston, you need to arrange your subordinates and the troops assigned to you in a secluded place slightly further away from Chinatown, but not too far. Make sure that the vehicle can reach Chinatown within five minutes. So, my suggestion is three to four kilometers away."
As the director of the police station, Eston knew a lot about the terrain and landforms of Kingsoft. He came to Chinatown less, but he still had some impression in his mind, so he showed a very confident look. With half of the police force and the forces of four military trucks, he walked towards the southern end of Chinatown.
It's finally dawn.
Lian Jiachuan squatted at the gate of Achun's courtyard, shouted at the top of his throat: "Selling tofu, the sweet and fragrant tofu is sold!" This was the idea that Dong Biao thought of. Achun likes to eat the most is tofu. As long as he hears the hawking of the tofu, Achun will definitely wake up and must go out to buy a bowl.
Sure enough, Lian Jiachuan only shouted twice, and the courtyard gate opened with a creaking sound.
Lian Jiachuan hurried forward and whispered: "Sister Chun, Brother Biao asked me to inform you that a bad person has entered the yard. You should notify others calmly and withdraw from the yard one after another. Remember, don't panic, let alone be in chaos."
A big brother-level figure who can become the second place in Anliangtang is definitely not an ordinary woman. When he heard Lian Jiachuan's advice, he immediately shouted: "Oh, why are you cold tofu? Don't buy it anymore, don't buy it anymore!" After shouting, he immediately returned to the courtyard.
In just three or five minutes, Achun's family and two servants escaped from the yard one after another.
On a big tree not far away, Dong Biao rode on a branch, smiled and nodded, and waved to the brothers under the tree.
A sharp whistle sounded, and more than a dozen brothers immediately rushed out around the courtyard. They threw grenades one after another into the courtyard without telling the wall.
Dong Biao quickly set up his rifle, aiming and searching for the figures in the courtyard.
After the first round of grenade blows, Dong Biao did not see the figure of the black leather jacket.
"Come again! Greeting more corners!" Dong Biao shouted.
More than a dozen grenades flew high and landed into the courtyard.
In this round, many places in the courtyard wall were bombarded and collapsed.
A figure suddenly appeared behind the main house. Dong Biao had already captured it, and the muzzle turned, "bang--" and it was a shot.
The man fell to the ground suddenly, but at the same time he also shot him in the direction of Dong Biao.
"Okay! It's interesting!" Dong Biao climbed up two meters, picked up a tree branch and sat down, and set up a rifle again to search and aim.
The courtyard wall collapsed many times, and the brothers in the hall quickly filled the seats. At least one gunman filled the vacancy at each collapse. While preventing the hospital from taking the opportunity to break through, it further compressed the man's hiding space.
The first round of grenade explosion did not have much impact on Larson's body, but the shock to him was extremely huge. At that moment, he knew that he was doomed and his only hope was to rush into the main house to take one or several hostages in order to get a glimmer of hope. But just as he was preparing to take action, the second round of grenade flew in and barely avoided the second round of explosion. As soon as Larson showed up, he was shot by Dong Biao.
The shot did not hit Larson's vital point, but cut a piece of meat under the ribs on his left side. In the flames of calcium carbide, he judged the direction of the bullets and retaliated, but he knew that the shot he fired would at most serve as a deterrent effect.
There are only two ways in front of Larson. One is to stay in place and wait for the opponent to attack, perhaps drag one or two cushions before dying, and the other is to find an opportunity to break out of the enemy's siege. It is no longer realistic to rush into the main house to take hostages. Doing so will only become the target of the person who hit him just now.
After hesitating for a moment, Larson finally chose the latter.
He jumped up from his hiding place, ran, picked up his rifle, and knocked down the guards who had collapsed the courtyard wall with three guns, but at this moment, Dong Biao pulled the trigger.
The bullet flew over and pierced Larson's chest.
Larson rushed to the ground.
Blood came out from behind his chest, but Larson seemed to feel the pain at all. His cheeks that were lying on the ground even showed a happy smile.
"Collection of the corpse! Rescue the injured brothers and quickly evacuate the scene!" Dong Biao was extremely confident in the shot he had just shot. Although Larson's body was in his sight, Dong Biao insisted on not replenishing the shot and jumped down from the tree.
But at this moment, the roar of car engines sounded at the north and south ends of Chinatown at the same time.
There were not many cars in Chinatown, and it was even rarer to use them early in the morning. But hearing this movement, it didn’t look like one or two. What would happen?
Dong Biao was stunned for a moment, immediately realized the crisis, and quickly shouted: "Retreat immediately! Retreat in the east and west direction!" Dong Biao's reaction was quite fast, but it was too late.
One hundred and fifty regular soldiers and nearly twenty policemen have surrounded Dong Biao and others.
Cao Bin was in a hazy state that seemed to be awake but not awake, and a rumbling explosion sounded in the direction of Chinatown. Cao Bin was awakened and couldn't help frowning. Dong Biao was too capable, right? Isn't it just to deal with a killer? Is it worth making such a big noise?
The explosion sounded two more rounds, followed by sporadic gunfire.
Cao Bin nodded secretly, turned over and got out of bed, and prepared to wash up.
When he had just poured hot water into the basin and picked up the towel and put it in the basin, there were suddenly dense gunfire sounds from Chinatown.
Helen was also awakened and ran to Cao Bin's bedroom in her pajamas. She hurriedly knocked on Cao Bin's door and said in horror: "Tom, what happened? Is it a war?"
Cao Bin had already realized the seriousness of the problem, but remained calm and replied: "It was the worms who stole the opium and launched a counterattack on us. Helen, listen to me, go back and change clothes immediately. I will send someone to escort you out of the hall. A fierce battle is about to take place here."
Helen quickly recovered from her panic. She shook her head and said firmly: "No, Tom, even if I die, I will die with you. No one can separate us, including God."
Cao Bin was extremely serious and shouted in a deep voice: "Nothing! Helen, you must leave the hall immediately!"
Helen smiled calmly and said, "Tom, what you said, you will never let me be wronged again in this life. Tom, I said I will not leave you again. Let's go together!"
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "I can't leave! Even if I die here."
Helen stretched out her hands, stroked Cao Bin's cheek, and said softly: "I understand you, Tom, but I hope you can understand me too."
Cao Bin is still a man from the world after all.
The heroes in the world should focus on integrity and would rather die while standing than live while kneeling.
Even if he was killed in the hall, Anliangtang's integrity could be preserved. When Luo Lie returned, he could still raise the banner of Anliangtang again.
But if you escape for life, then in the future, Jinshan Anliangtang will be in a ruined world and will never have a chance to speak up even in front of other brothers in Anliangtang.
However, Cao Bin, who had a foreshadowing of a fierce battle, could face the call of death calmly, but he could never accept Helen's fate of going to the underworld with him.
"Okay, Helen, I promise you not to send you away, you will live together, die together!" Cao Bin's face was solemn, but his two frowning brows quietly stretched out.
On Chinatown, a massacre lasted only three or five minutes.
"Report to the regiment commander, a total of 19 thugs were killed and seven seriously injured. Five of ours were killed. Two of the killings were policemen. Eight of ours were seriously injured. Four of the seriously injured were policemen. Eleven of the other were slightly injured and three of them were policemen." Captain Merrone delivered a war report to Cooper in time.
Judging from the total number of casualties, the brothers of Anliang's cousin fell into a total of twenty-six people, and Cooper and Eston's men were either killed or injured. However, the brothers of Anliang's cousin could not compare to the losses of others after taking weapons. They injured more enemies, but fewer enemies were killed.
Eston followed Cooper and said nothing, but shook his head with a sad look.
Cooper was slightly stunned, then frowned, pondered for a moment, pointed to the direction of Anliang's dignified mouth, and said loudly: "Director Eston, the thugs openly threw a large number of grenades into the houses in broad daylight. The motive for their intention to create riots is conclusive. I suggest that we immediately investigate the organization behind this thug and give a destructive blow to maintain my sacred laws of the United States of America and protect the security of our great United States of America!"
Eston understood it and replied: "It has been found that this group of thugs came from Kingsoft Anliangtang. They have low incomes and are already dissatisfied with the United States of America. Any ill-behavior may break out further at any time."
Cooper stood in the seat of his car and incited to his soldiers: "Gentlemen, you all see how cruel this group of thugs are. Chinatown is Kingsoft Chinatown, the Chinatown of our great United States of America, but is now ruled by thugs like them. The yellow-skinned Chinese people do not understand democracy and freedom. They will easily be encouraged by these thugs, and it is very likely to cause greater harm to Kingsoft and the great United States of America. Therefore, I suggest that we must eradicate the roots and deal a devastating blow to the roots of this group of thugs! Please remember, gentlemen, your efforts and sacrifices today will be recorded in history!"
The young soldiers are, and they will be full of vitality. This group of thugs dared to fight back at them and killed and injured fifteen or sixteen of their comrades. They were all filled with righteous indignation, and Cooper's agitation was just right, and his willingness to fight was already full of vitality before Cooper finished speaking.
Seeing that the time was right, Cooper waved his hand suddenly and roared hoarsely: "Advance-attack!"
From Chinatown to Anliangtangkou, it is only a distance of one or two kilometers.
The convoy roared in just three or four minutes.
The entrance of Anliangtang is extremely quiet, and there is no one in the huge courtyard. Under the balcony extending outwards of the corridor, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe and black cloth shoes were sitting upright. Behind the man was a foreign woman with a beautiful face and unconventional temperament.
Facing dozens of standard rifles, the man smiled indifferently and said, "Eston, the one standing beside you should be Colonel Cooper. You did a great job, I really didn't expect you to have a backup plan. Moreover, I must admit that the excuse you found can indeed deceive most people. Eston, Cooper, now you can cheer for victory. With just a simple order, your subordinates can beat me Cao Bin into a honeycomb."
Cooper pulled out his gun, walked up, pointed at Cao Bin, and shouted, "Do you think I dare not shoot?"
The foreign woman behind Cao Bin sneered: "I am a reporter from the Kingsoft Post, Helen Powell, Colonel Cooper, I promise that as long as your gunshots sound, it will be on the front pages of major newspapers in Kingsoft tomorrow. In addition, you don't have to secretly wonder whether you can create an accident to silence me. Now, in the hall of Anliangtang, besides your people, there are only Tom and I. As long as I die, the murderer must be you. Also, I must remind you that when you lead the troops in, my colleagues have taken enough photos. Of course, if you feel guilty, you can send your soldiers to catch him back."
Helen Powell's name is well-known to Cooper and Eston. He may not have noticed much of this famous reporter from Kingsoft before, but the article about the 1,800 tons of opium and the call for all citizens more than 20 days ago made Cooper and Eston and others feel distressed and angry. However, Cooper and Eston and others did not think of venting their anger on Helen Powell. They believed that Helen Powell's behavior as a reporter was normal. The evil man was Tom Anliangtang who asked her to reveal the information, and all the accounts should also be counted on Tom.
With this idea, Cooper, Eston, and Stander ignored the reporter Helen Powell, and was too lazy to even investigate secretly. In the end, he only knew his name but did not know the real person.
Of course, this is also a manifestation of the three of them being a bit arrogant, and it is also a result of lack of experience in fighting in the martial arts world.
After sneering, Helen took out the reporter's certificate from her pocket and threw it at Cooper.
It's thrown, not handing over.
Cooper subconsciously grabbed the reporter's certificate flying in the air, but the level was not enough. He grabbed the air and watched the reporter's certificate fall at his feet.
Cooper hesitated for a moment, but still bent down and picked up the reporter's certificate.
Of course, the reporter's certificate is changed as if it were fake.
Cooper walked up politely and returned the reporter's certificate to Helen, and explained: "We received information that a group of thugs in Chinatown intends to create riots. Helen reporter, you must have heard just now that the two deafening explosions were done by the thugs. Although we suppressed the thugs, the behind-the-scenes commanders of the thugs were still out of order. We have sufficient evidence to prove that the thugs belong to the Kingsoft Anliangtang organization, and the final behind-the-scenes commander is Mr. Tom Cao in front of you and me."
Helen said coldly, "Since that's the case, why not let Tom Cao accept the trial of the law? Cooper, you are guilty and dare not face the lawyer's questioning in court, right?"
Cooper laughed and said, "Why don't I dare? What are I afraid of? I just assisted the police station in the operation and quelled the local riots in the garrison, which is in line with the military regulations, Helen Reporter."
Helen snorted coldly: "Since it's just assistance, why do you want to turn against the enemy? Shouldn't Director Eston of the police station be the main person in charge?"
Cooper was speechless.
Helen Powell's accident completely disrupted Cooper's plan. If it weren't for the involvement of this famous reporter, Cooper would have shot Cao Bin's head with one shot, and then threw out a few grenades to create the illusion of Cao Bin's resistance. There is no evidence of death. Even if he went to court with the remnants of Anliangtang, Cooper would have steadily gained the upper hand.
But an accident happened.
During the verbal confrontation, Cooper's mind flipped hundreds or thousands of times, but he could not come up with a complete solution. The reporter is the uncrowned king, and assassinating him will cause an uproar. What's more, he is in a face-to-face confrontation, and behind him, there are hundreds of soldiers with simple thoughts and difficult to keep their mouths closed. If she destroys her mouth desperately, she may not have to go to court. Just the angry saliva of the citizens can drown them alive.
"Put your gun away and retreat behind Director Eston." Helen's tone was filled with disdain: "Col. Cooper, if you hesitate for a second, the citizens' suspicion of you will increase by one point. In court, it is impossible for the jury to ignore public opinion."
Cooper was stunned for a few seconds and finally took a step back.
The first step is to take, and the subsequent steps will be natural.
To be continued...
