Pulling hundreds of kilograms of cargo, the pack horse's footsteps became a bit heavy. Fortunately, the road was relatively smooth, and even without the lightness brought by the pneumatic tires, the carriage was still running smoothly.
"Brother Shu, why are we back here again!" As for the first time he walked out of the safe zone, Xiao Ma was not as talkative as Bungy Pig, but he was still a little surprised when he saw the familiar Minsi Bridge.
"Look for yourself, I really don't know how you survived before!" Hong Tao stuffed the map over and called Xiao Ma, but this one is about 30 years old, and he is actually a mild road blind. Rather confused.
But this time he was right, he really came back, no, it should be said that he was passing by, and the road to Langfang happened to pass by here. Even if you don't pass by, you have to come back. The weapons are still hidden outside the South Fifth Ring Road. Although it is only more than 50 kilometers away, you can't be careless.
Regarding how to carry guns, Fat Sheep took it into consideration when making the carriage. There is a long and narrow space under the front end of the vehicle board, just enough to put a rifle in, and a person sitting on it can reach it by bending over and stretching out his hands.
This is mainly to deal with sudden inspections by the alliance army. Although the area beyond the Fourth Ring Road is basically a red zone, it is an alliance-controlled area after all. Military patrols come and go every day, and there will be outposts and temporary checkpoints in some places.
The transportation team has a license plate and a pass, and the drivers have an ID card, but they do not have the privilege of exemption from inspection. . Once the military finds out that they possess standard weapons, even if they do not violate the safety zone regulations, it is estimated that they will be confiscated and no one has any objections.
Is it enough to have weapons, body armor, and helmets? Others may think it is enough, but Hong Tao has to say no. He hates everything that cannot be controlled, and is willing to spend his life to minimize the proportion of the uncontrolled.
Therefore, a thermal imaging scope and two Russian-made night vision devices were hidden in the metal frame of the carriage. Night vision goggles are used for camping in the wild at night, while thermal imaging sights can be used day and night.
Even in sunny noon, it can convert the image into black and white mode, and reflect the different degrees of heat source through gray scale. There is even a stroke function, as long as you get used to it for a while, the resolution is even clearer than at night.
With this device, Hong Tao can try his best to find out whether there is any heat source activity about one kilometer in advance. If there is little shelter from the building, people can clearly see the movement of people 3 kilometers away.
Of course, if there is a sniper hiding behind the building and not moving at all, it will not be found. But Hong Tao felt that this situation would not be too much and could be ignored. He is habitually cautious, not obsessive-compulsive, nor is he a control freak. He gives up on things beyond his control faster than anyone else.
However, even with so many preparations, I was still very tired from walking for most of the day, either because my body was tired or my nerves were tense. According to the pre-plan, there may be accidents on this trip, and even the second-hand dealer in leather clothes was suspected of intentionally setting the trap.
Driven by this idea, everyone is in a state of combat readiness, the bullets are loaded, and they are always ready to deal with sudden attacks. There is even a way to distinguish the true from the false after encountering the Union army.
In the end, Hong Tao made a miscalculation, and the journey was extremely smooth. There was neither alliance troops nor enemy ambushes, and he had never even seen a living person. Only wild cats, wild dogs, weasels, badgers, wild boars, pheasants and ubiquitous crows and magpies can be seen.
"Put away the guns and find a place to hide them!" Seeing that he was not far from his destination, Hong Tao climbed up to the top of a five-story building on the side of the road to have a look, and immediately gave a new order after he got down******There is a change , originally just planned to hide the guns and ammunition in the carriage, go to the metal processing factory to unload and load the goods, and then return overnight. The cats and dogs are all floating clouds. It is estimated that they will disperse as soon as they get close to the pony. The nickname of animal predators is not for nothing.
However, the metal processing factory seen from thermal sights and binoculars made Hong Tao a little uneasy. It has high walls, watchtowers are set up at the four corners, and there are at least four or five people cruising at the gate of the courtyard.
What the hell is a metal processing factory, the defense is too tight! If you guessed right, there must be machine guns on the watchtower, and the man cruising at the door is not the master of the messenger, but a sentinel with live ammunition.
But if you say that the leather jacket has deceived yourself, it doesn't look like it. The people who stamp the office and the people who load the goods at the train station are all official employees of the alliance. If they all want to harm themselves, there is no need to be so troublesome. I don't seem to have that much energy, and within two months of my arrival, I have become enemies everywhere.
Neither advancing nor retreating, Hong Tao thought about it for a few minutes on the top of the building, and finally decided that it would be more appropriate to go and have a look. Most likely, this yard looks like a factory, with smoke coming from the chimney, bursts of white steam rising, and a lot of lighting, not like a den of illegal elements.
?Hong Tao guessed right this time. When the two carriages walked within one kilometer, he could clearly see soldiers in military uniforms and holding rifles through the binoculars. armored car.
"The No. 914 Metal Processing Factory in the Capital Control Area of ??the East Asian Alliance" If you get closer, you can see the sign hanging on the gate through the telescope. It is indeed the name written on the delivery note.
"HeyXiao Ma, bring the crowbar and vise here!" Seeing that he was about to enter an open field after turning the corner, Hong Tao suddenly stopped the car at the north of a small two-story building, climbed onto the car board and greeted Xiao Ma. take tools.
"Creak creak" After taking the tool, Hong Tao launched an offensive against the wooden box without saying a word. Pry the board from three directions respectively, and use the vise handle as a spacer in order to prevent crowbar indentations on the board below.
"This damn is not a metal processing factory at all!" Hong Tao stopped after prying open three wooden boxes in a row, and then put wooden sticks on them and nailed the wooden boards back with a hammer.
"What's that?" Pony followed from the beginning to the end, but he couldn't understand anything except the cold machine parts.
"It's an ammunition factory, filling bullets, maybe there are shells!"
This is the gap in knowledge. Hong Tao doesn't know what the machine that produces bullets on the assembly line looks like, but he has seen a machine that presses bullets by hand. There are similar molds in these boxes. Although the appearance is different, but with a little understanding of the mechanical structure, you can roughly guess what it is for.
"Brother Shu, we don't lack bullets, right?" Xiao Ma not only didn't give the boss a thumbs up for his erudition, but also showed disbelief on his face.
"I went to rob the ammunition factory when my mother was full! Be honest when you go in, don't mess around, and do what you are asked to do!" Hong Tao was very puzzled. See what you get for your reputation.
Hong Tao guessed right again, this 914 metal processing factory is a military factory! You don't need to enter the door, just look at the armored vehicles and tanks parked in the yard, as well as teams of Union regular troops, you will know that this place is extraordinary.
But none of this had anything to do with the transportation team. They were searched all over, including the bag for the horse's fodder. In the end, they were still not eligible to enter the gate of the courtyard, and could only wait outside for the workers to come out to unload the goods. Then a lieutenant pointed to the east and told the coachmen to spend the night in the small yard over there and come back to load the goods tomorrow morning.
"Sir, we want to go back overnight. Today is the first time we have come out to deliver goods. The family is waiting Look" Hong Tao really didn't want to spend the night here, so he leaned over and pretended to be pitiful with a smile on his face.
"Walking at night! Aren't you afraid of being torn apart by wild dogs? I warn you, there are packs of wild dogs on the road. It's a trivial matter if the goods are not delivered, and it won't be worth it if the people are gone!" I looked up and down with interest, and I didn't say it was impossible, but I didn't recommend it.
"We all come from the Great Northwest. The wolves over there are much more powerful than the wild dogs. Don't be afraid. You've got used to it. There are ways to deal with it. I guarantee you won't lose your goods." Gold.
"Our goods are all iron bumps, and wild dogs won't eat them really have to walk at night?" The lieutenant seemed to believe it.
"Yes, hurry up, you can still sleep half the night when you get home, and the things will be delivered early tomorrow, without delay!" Hong Tao nodded vigorously, and even threw out a small temptation to deliver them a day in advance.
