Chapter 1018: Ambushed
Chapter 1018: Ambushed
Huo Yisheng walked out of the house as soon as the sound of galloping horses appeared on the long street.
At this time, he just arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Upon hearing this, his face was stern and he asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
The situation was obviously very urgent. Before the horse had completely stopped, the young soldier jumped off and ran to Huo Yisheng's side. He lowered his voice and explained the situation:
"Captain Huo, the supply truck carrying watermelons and melons to the capital was ambushed near Songlin Cave!"
Huo Yisheng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately ran towards Courtyard 1, asking, "How many casualties are there?"
The young soldier said: "It's not clear yet. We received a call for help from the transport team, but we couldn't get in touch with them since then."
Huo Yisheng rushed into the stable and ordered, "Line up! Get ready to go!"
He suddenly remembered what he had promised Ye Shu before, and hurried back to Yard No. 2 to explain.
Ye Shu also heard the noise and was standing at the gate. Seeing this, he was filled with worry, but he could only tell him: "Be careful!"
Because that's his job.
In these peaceful times, it is people like them who carry the heavy burdens and move forward.
There is no such thing as true peace.
Because where there is sunshine, there is corresponding shadow.
Fortunately, Huo Yisheng came back the next day.
Three or four injured comrades also returned with them.
The injuries were relatively minor, the most serious one was a broken arm. After the medical soldier temporarily fixed it, Ye Shu performed another operation on him after he came back, and it was not a serious problem.
After returning home and talking to Huo Yisheng, she found out that there were three other seriously injured people who were sent to the local hospital for treatment.
There will be someone accompanying and protecting him, and he will be sent back in two days after he is out of danger.
Huo Yisheng: "Wife, I might have to go out."
Ye Shu understood that it must be related to the enemy's ambush on the supply truck this time.
She just didn't understand: "Why would they ambush a truck delivering watermelons? Watermelons aren't some kind of important strategic material, are they?"
Huo Yisheng: "If I'm not mistaken, they must have regarded the watermelons as other very important supplies."
For example, what Zhao Xingyang, Wei Haochuan and others are studying, are the precious rare minerals in the wasteland area or Island No. 3!
"So, the purpose of their action this time is not to rob, but to destroy!"
Ye Shu took a breath and said, "Destruction?"
Huo Yisheng: "Yes, this time they planted explosives on the road they had to pass through. They were able to escape death purely by luck."
It turned out that when the supply team passed the scene of the incident, they were suddenly intercepted by local people.
In order to protect the strength of the wilderness area and not leak secrets, all vehicles leaving the Ebony District are not allowed to have military license plates.
The entourage in the car were all disguised as civilians.
So from the outside, it looked like an ordinary transport team, but it aroused the ulterior motives of those people.
They tried to intercept the truck on a whim because the mountain road was difficult to travel on and full of potholes. In order to prevent the transported fruits and vegetables from spoiling, the truck moved very slowly.
This gives them time to react!
As a result, just when they rushed over, the supply truck slowed down in advance for fear of hurting them.
Then, those people stepped on the explosives buried by the enemy in advance, and the front vehicle of the supply team was also affected by the power of the bomb.
Fortunately, they were not at the center of the explosion, and the car behind them did not catch up, so the accompanying personnel were only injured and did not die on the spot.
The locals who were preparing to rob were all killed on the spot.
Later, Huo Yisheng checked further forward and found that there was a bomb buried every kilometer to prevent anyone from escaping from the first explosion point by chance from escaping from the second one.
Even if the supply team cleared the mines in advance, it didn't matter, they were still lying in ambush on the road ahead.
The nature of this matter is already very serious!
This is undoubtedly a secret saboteur challenging Huo Yisheng and his team's efforts to maintain public security!
It is also a challenge to China and Chinese soldiers!
Huo Yisheng: "Their action this time may also be a good thing for us."
Ye Shu didn't understand what was so good about it. Knowing that it involved confidential information, she didn't dare to ask. She only knew that he had to lead the team in person for this mission, so she could only tell him:
"Then you should be careful in everything and take care of your body."
So, on the second day after Ye Shu celebrated his 23rd birthday, Huo Yisheng left Wumu Town with almost all the soldiers of the cycling team.
The security around Long Street is taken over by the garrison.
The soldiers patrolling nearby were replaced by soldiers under Huo Yiting.
In early August, news came back from Li Zhen’s hometown.
Everyone in the Li family who participated in Li Zhen and Li Min's identity swap and betrayal of their military marriage was arrested and sent to labor reform.
One of them was convicted of eating peanuts.
That is Li Zhen’s father, Li San.
It turned out that he was the one who proposed to put Li Zhen in the dungeon, and he was also the one who raped and violated her later.
As a biological father, he did something worse than pigs and dogs, so he naturally cannot get away with it.
However, the comrades who went to investigate at the time also thought about protecting Comrade Li Zhen's reputation, so they had to start from other places.
It was later discovered that since Li San was capable of raping his own daughter, there was no guarantee that he had not committed other crimes.
Sure enough, after just a little investigation, an old case at Li San's workplace was uncovered.
He was a newly hired logistics employee in their unit, just graduated from school, 17 years old, and disappeared on his way home from get off work one day.
The body was found three days later, naked in the river.
At that time, the police determined it was rape and murder, but they did not find the murderer.
As soon as the comrades from the cycling team took action, Li San confessed all his crimes.
He was eventually sentenced to death by shooting.
After Li Zhen heard the news, she couldn't help but break down and cry.
She always wanted to ask, why?
But no one could answer her, because, in this world, not all parents are worthy of being called parents.
Some parents are partial and may spoil one child to the utmost, but may be a devil to another child.
These cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.
Wei Haochuan couldn't explain, he could only do his best to comfort and soothe her and try to stay with her.
After this, in addition to Ye Shu, there was another person in Courtyard No. 2 who was eagerly waiting for Huo Yisheng's return.
That is Wei Haochuan.
Because he wants to get married, but only Huo Yisheng can approve his marriage application!
Fortunately, Huo Yisheng didn't make him wait too long. One afternoon in mid-August, he finally returned with a tired and wounded team.
