Chapter 329 Combating Smuggling
Chapter 2

While Shenkai Packaging is nervously advancing the order tasks issued by COFCO, a tense battle is about to start at the border of Yunnan Province, thousands of kilometers away.

The leader of the team was an old anti-drug officer from a certain armed police special operation named Zheng Zhen. He walked in the dense forest on the border with ease, and the heavy equipment on his body did not slow him down at all.

This kind of ease is not only the result of long-term training, but more importantly, it is the mechanical exoskeleton on him and his team members that has been simplified and surrounded by design, which is more suitable for fighting in complex terrain in the jungle.

"Peach, check the communication status, calibrate the GPS data, and send the location data."

"Received. The communication is normal, the GPS data is normal, and the location data has been transmitted. It is 600 meters away from the scheduled ambush location and is expected to arrive in 10 minutes."

"So fast? How long have we been walking?"

"It's almost an hour, twice as fast as usual. Captain, this thing is really useful, can we not return it?"

"Return your head, this was originally sent to us..."

Zheng Zhen's expression was slightly surprised. He subconsciously raised his hand to look at his watch, and immediately realized that the information he wanted had been integrated into the helmet visor he was wearing now.

It not only shows the time, but also shows the advancing route, a miniature map, the relative positions of each team member, and the status represented by different colors, presenting almost all the combat information he needs in front of his eyes.

In the words of one of his team members, wearing this exoskeleton system is like entering a simulation game—it would be even better if the number of bullets can be displayed.

Zheng Zhen scoffed at this kind of greedy thought, he was more concerned about the target recognition function than any fancy bullets.

This infrared and lidar-based technology is said to be able to directly mark non-our targets lurking in the dense forest, making tracking and finding enemies extremely simple.

When he put on the helmet for the first time to test, Zheng Zhen really felt that he had entered a sci-fi world, but seeing the expressions of "we don't bother to study this kind of outdated technology" from the experts beside him, he had no choice but to hold back. After suppressing the excitement in my heart, I pretended to be reserved and said:
"Well, it's really okay."

But now, he no longer has those annoying experts by his side, and what they are about to meet is a real battle.

A battle against large-scale smuggling takes place on an almost daily basis across the border.

What they have to deal with this time is a group of organized armed groups that they have been following for several months. This group has been active on the border since the beginning of the year. They had several indirect conflicts with them. After several intelligence agents, the intelligence of this large-scale transaction was finally confirmed.

But this time, our side intends to catch them all.

After gently shaking his head to get rid of the slightly chaotic thoughts in his mind, Zheng Zhen gave the order to sneak forward in a low profile, and their speed dropped immediately, but after only 20 minutes, they still climbed over a mountain and reached The hidden location at the commanding heights.

Such a speed was unimaginable when they were wearing simple body armor and battered combat boots.

After deploying according to the combat formation, Zheng Zhen operated the head-mounted display interface through the mechanical knob on the side of the helmet, and called up the map of the predetermined combat area. After making the final adjustments to the battle positions of all personnel, he gave the order to wait for the battle.

Two hours later, the target they were waiting for still hadn't arrived. Tao Zi, who was not far away from him, quietly touched the communication button and asked:
"Captain, it's been 15 minutes past the scheduled time. Do you want to let the drone fly from behind and take a picture of the situation on the route?"

Zheng Zhen frowned and pondered for a moment, then answered:

"No, wait a little longer, the risk of flying a drone is too high at this time, and it's easy to scare the snake away."

"But they came a little too slowly. Could there be something wrong on the road ahead?"

"Probably not. This time they have a large volume of goods, and besides the precious metals and cash used for transactions, there are also dozens of pack horses transporting flour. It is normal to be slow."

"Flour?? What's the situation? Are they out of their minds? Taking such a big risk to ship flour abroad?"

Seeing the shocked expression on Tao Zi's mask not far away, Zheng Zhen replied:
"Now the international price of wheat and flour is more than four times the domestic price. It is normal to smuggle flour. Moreover, they are just exploring the way this time. If this way can go through, they will build a long-term road on the border. smuggling channel."

"At that time, it will not be such a small amount of dozens of tons. Combined with the transport of vehicles, boats and livestock, it will be easy to dump dozens of tons or hundreds of tons a day. The income of nearly one million is less risky than drug trafficking. Who would not do it? "

"I remember that we also hunted once in 11 or 12, but that time it was soybeans and soybean oil. Later, we also caught poor-quality rice and frozen meat smuggled in by local farmers. , are not as large as this time.”

After listening to Zheng Zhen's explanation, Tao Zi nodded slightly, and then continued to ask:
"Captain, is the news about the enemy's situation accurate this time?"

"It's not necessarily accurate, but with our current equipment, let alone drug dealers, a company-level unit of the regular army may not be able to do us... Don't talk, come here."

Everyone cheered up immediately, and after waiting for a while, a long horse team appeared in their sight.

This cavalry team shuttled through the dense forest. The personnel wore uneven ordinary clothes. The number was close to 80, and only a few carried weapons. They didn't seem to be threatening.

But on the opposite side of the horse team, the group of people who came to trade with them was completely different.

The number of people was around 60, and at least 40 of them carried automatic weapons. Although the rest of them were not obviously armed, they knew without question that those who could walk on this road were definitely extremely dangerous characters.

"Captain, the size of the enemy is a little bit beyond our expectations."

Zheng Zhen nodded slightly. According to the information he received in the early stage, the size of the team transported from the territory to the outside this time was basically accurate, but the number of militants who came to trade far exceeded expectations.

The 40 people who are fully armed and have a few heavy weapons, plus the scattered militants in the cavalry, seem to have directly gained the upper hand in terms of momentum compared with their own team of 15 people.

However, Zheng Zhen didn't hesitate. He didn't intend to give the other party a chance to let go of their vigilance, because once the other party dispersed, it would not be so easy to catch them back one by one.

"Get ready to fight. The opponent's firepower is too strong, don't try to capture them alive, try to kill them if you can. Old pig, take aim, shoot them first!"

Not far away, a man named Old Pig took down a recoilless gun from the pylon behind him, aimed at the area where militants gathered, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
The shells rushed straight away trailing white smoke trails, followed by a violent explosion. Everyone below was stunned by the explosion for a few seconds. In the gap of these few seconds, Zheng Zhen's team had passed through an extremely violent explosion. The indifferent and efficient approach amplified the results.

It's really like playing a game.

This absurd idea inexplicably flashed through Zheng Zhen's mind. He knew that he was in danger, and that as long as there was a chance, the desperadoes on the opposite side would take up their guns and fight back at him, and they shot out of the guns. Large caliber bullets are absolutely lethal.

However, he had a vague feeling that in this battle, the opponent might not be able to find a chance to fight back.

Because the speed of harvesting by one's own side is too fast.

The firepower network of 15 people, under the joint blessing of individual fire control radar and infrared portrait recognition, attack data link, and target priority configuration system, exerted extremely terrifying firepower.

Compared with their previous combat methods, the most obvious change is that in the battle that has lasted for 30 seconds, no two team members have yet shot at the same target.

Under the guidance of this exoskeleton intelligent system, the utilization rate of firepower has reached the extreme.

One minute later, the militants nearly 1 meters below launched their first counterattack, but at this time their personnel losses were close to 300%. After firing less than one bullet from the magazine, the gunfire completely fell silent.

Those unarmed watched in amazement, the only option available to them was to drop to the ground and put their hands behind their heads.

Two minutes later, the last militant fleeing outward was bitten by a low-altitude drone, and then the data link system exposed his position. A large-caliber sniper bullet traveled a distance of several hundred meters and knocked him down from behind.

All the latent team members stood up cautiously. After the last search and elimination, they formed a small circle and gathered the remaining smugglers together.

Zheng Zhen looked at the heavy weapons that fell on the ground before they could be fired with some emotion, and then used his hands to remove the huge amount of drugs transported by the other party from abroad, and then looked at the bags of flour on the pack horse on the other side , with a complex look on his face.

……

A total of 1.7 tons of narcotics and nearly 15 tons of flour were seized in this battle at the border of Yunnan Province. The amount of the former is enough to shock the whole country, but the latter is only a small number in the repeated smuggling activities across the country.

The Huaxia government severely cracked down on smuggling activities, and reported the results of each crackdown on the news, but what everyone didn't expect was that after the announcement of the crackdown in Dian Province, it caused surprises that no one expected. Violent reaction.

According to the news on the Internet, this time, it was originally a special operation targeting drug trafficking, but it was actually labeled as a fight against food smuggling.

"In order to combat food smuggling, the Chinese border troops killed dozens of smugglers."

"Massacre or justice? The truth behind the border bloody battle."

"Going too far? Instead of assuming international responsibilities, food exports are banned instead. What is the demeanor of a big country?"

"Tragedy! Two hundred catties of flour were smuggled per capita, but they were all killed on the spot!"

Under such waves of public opinion attacks, the international pressure facing Huaxia has suddenly increased!
