Chapter 146: blockade

"It seems that we have to resolve this matter as soon as possible. If we delay it, I am afraid it is really too late.?" Zhao Jianfei looked worried.
Vitalk patted Josh on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, we have to pass the checkpoint to the south this time. What can you do?"
Josh hesitated, "It's okay to change to what he said before. After all, the guards only recognize money. But since the people from the Liberty Liberation League came, things have changed. These people are very smart and they won't let anyone pass through the village. The checkpoint to the south. You know, they are not the same as the general warlord troops. They have an almost fanatical support for General Denby. It's hard to buy them even with money."
"Then, your business..." Vitalk said.
"I haven't been able to do it for a long time, they are very tight on poaching and smuggling. I was almost driven crazy by these people." Josh said with anguish. His business was illegal, involving wild animal poaching and smuggling. Because the rebels blocked the traffic, the damage to him was not ordinary.
"The rebels blocked the traffic, is there no other way? Maybe we find a way to get around?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Impossible. To the south is a river, and the only river that runs through the entire territory of Santujac. This small town was built by the river, and the rebels guarded the bridge heavily. No one was able to pass. Even to avoid the government. The army relied on armor to make a surprise attack. They deployed concrete anti-tank cones called dragon teeth on the bridge. Not to mention that vehicles were impassable, even tanks could not pass." Josh shook his head. "Unless you take advantage of their patrols to sneak across the river without paying attention."
"This won't work. Even if we swim across the road, it doesn't make much sense. We have a large amount of clothing and equipment in the car. We can't do anything without the car, and our destination is Cantor City, and It's a lot of distance, it's impossible to walk on foot." Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Listen, I really want to help you. But the current situation is. Even I can't think of a way to cross that bridge." Josh walked back and forth, "If I could, it would be long ago. I tried it myself. You know that these guys blocked the road, which is equivalent to completely cutting off my money."
Lin Rui frowned, "Then what about the railway you mentioned earlier? Is that railway still running? Since the road is not working, maybe we can think of a way to walk by the railway."
"This is even more impossible. Back then, China and other countries assisted us in many things, helped us build railways and factories and schools. But these things have been destroyed in years of war. The railroad tracks have been smashed to pieces. Yes. And the railway bridge is next to that bridge, there are a large number of rebels guarding there. You don't even think about going over." Josh sighed.
Zhao Jianfei was silent for a while and looked at Qiao Xu, "How many of them are there?"
"Probably the size of nearly a hundred people, well equipped. I even see if they have recoil guns and light armored vehicles." Josh's face changed slightly, "What do you mean? Do you want to break through? Trust me? , Don’t do this, it’s just killing your life. I’ve seen many real desperadoes, but none of them can do this kind of thing. Because it’s dying."
"Then, I must congratulate you buddy. You saw a group of desperadoes today." Vitalk smiled bitterly.
"We must pass there, and it will be tonight." Zhao Jianfei said solemnly, "I think you will point out the location of this bridge for us."
"Of course." Josh nodded, "but I can't go there, it's too dangerous for me." After speaking, he took the map in Lin Rui's hand and marked the location on the map.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Thank you, Josh. You can do this for us, we are already very grateful."
"You are welcome, my Chinese brother." Josh got up and gave them a hug.
Zhao Jianfei summoned the other members of the team and whispered, "The basic situation is now clear. This is a river on the south side of the village and a bridge passes there. A large number of rebels gathered on the other side of the river, and they completely blocked it. The road to the south. And from what we have found so far, General Dunby is already working on his gas project. This can be seen from the major villages and towns on the front line of his relocation. There is not much time left."
"So, the only way we can now is to forcibly cross that bridge?" Ivan frowned. "This risk is big enough."
Lin Rui also stood up and said, "I don't agree with this approach. The impact of such force is too great, it will easily cause the rebels to be alert, and create greater difficulties for our next actions. You know, this is not us. The end of the war, Cantor City is. If a force raid will cause too much impact. The rebels will encircle us along the way. This will be very troublesome."
"But if we don’t do this, our time can’t be spent. Once the vx agent is really put into use, then everything we do will be wasted. And we will die. Don’t forget that it’s far from their frontier Not far. Actuary, what's your opinion?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
Jiang An pondered for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. We really don't have much time, and if we force it, it will indeed cause too many problems. So we might as well compromise."
"Compromise?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"We want to go over, but we don't blatantly push through. We must have a plan. It's best to push through without disturbing the enemy as much as possible." Jiang An said in a deep voice.
"Don't alarm the enemy. How is this possible?" Ivan frowned. "We have so many people and a truck. How can we pass by without being noticed?"
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "This is possible. It is already night. The activities of the rebels will not be so frequent. Although there are guards at the bridge head, there will not be too many. If we go in the dark, except Remove all warning threats and try to remove the concrete roadblocks on the bridge. You can be sure to leave without disturbing most of the rebels."
"This is a way. Because there was no large-scale exchange of fire, only a few sentries died, so it doesn't necessarily cause much attention from the rebels. After all, this is during wartime, and people die every day. But if you do this, Our operation is very difficult. Someone must swim across to the opposite side, find out all the positions of the guards and the rules of the patrol, and then clear them one by one. And the whole operation must avoid shooting. Because the sound of a gun will alarm all the sleeping rebels. ." Jiang An said slowly.
