Inside the inn, Boss Shan and others had retreated to a corner, but the situation was not that good and they could only reluctantly stay in the room.
At first, the people outside did avoid them and went to the other side to fight, but as the melee spread, they again came under huge pressure.
It's not that anyone discovered that there was no silver there. With the frenzied scramble by various forces, the place became a meat grinder. Anyone who rushed in and dared to pay attention to this would probably die soon.
The attack and defense against Boss Shan and others was due to the frantic squeeze from the people on the outside. Some of the land forces on the innermost side had already understood that if they could not occupy the inn and defend it, they would not survive at all.
The other end of the soil bag was being frantically scrambled by all parties on land, and was also frantically fighting for it with the forces upstream and downstream of the river and on the other side of the river, so these people set their sights on Shan Boss Daganren who was guarding the other end of the inn.
In fact, Boss Shan and others also misjudged the number of bandit gang members gathered in the surrounding areas. Counting only the water bandits and Zhoushan pirates in Taihu Lake and surrounding areas, there are tens of thousands of bandits active in the area.
And although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are relatively peaceful, the government's control is still poor. Although it is not as good as some places, there are many bandits, but the various Jianghu forces are not to mention.
Not to mention, how many gang members are there in Shanghai? The surrounding towns are also populated by gangs of all sizes. There are also countless gangs on the coastline, along the Yangtze River, surrounding waterways, smuggling forces, boat gangs, etc.
If you really think about it, the Jianghu forces here are probably more powerful than those in areas where gangs are rampant. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are just economically more prosperous and developed, and there are ways to make money other than robbery. Unlike those poor areas, where they can only
Be a bandit.
In addition, there was a lot of commotion about this matter, and there were people among them who were adding fuel to the flames. There were many forces from Jiangbei and other places scurrying around to get involved. The forces from all sides gathered together, and it could be said that bandits were everywhere.
Just in the melee around the inn, there are probably tens of thousands of people involved, and there are still tens of thousands of people watching or even watching with eagerness.
Logically speaking, a group of gangsters should not engage in such a brutal fight, but they could not resist the attraction of the huge amount of silver, and the battlefield situation was a circle within a circle.
It's also too crowded, and people inside can't retreat even if they want to. There are still many forces on the outside that are trying to fight in. The closer you go in, the fewer the forces in the circle. It's difficult to work together to break through the outer circle.
Moreover, the chaotic fighting, combined with the wind and rain, made it almost impossible to spread the situation. If people inside want to leave, people outside will only mistakenly think that you have obtained silver and want to leave, and you will be directly attacked.
There are many people on the battlefield who have been defeated, defeated or even driven crazy. But in this kind of melee, once you stop fighting to the death and still show your head and run around, how many minutes can you survive?
Some people don't want to fight, but they have to fight to the death in order to find a way to survive, and they will force others to fight to the death too. In the end, everyone can only remain numb in this tragic fight until their lives are wasted.
And the lives taken away by the battlefield will add fire to the battlefield. Only by burning the firewood, maybe a few will survive!
Inside the inn, Boss Shan and his group also fought back tiredly and numbly. The casualties were negligible. If it weren't for the inn and the building as a bunker, these people would have been pushed away long ago.
What about the ammunition situation? I can barely support it for a while! After changing weapons, I have been conscious of being threatened during this period, so I secretly collected a lot.
The most fierce and cruel fights at present are the forces on the other side of the inn, in the middle of the river and on the other side of the river. They are attacking people at the inn regardless of the cost, hoping to seize it in one fell swoop.
The siege outside them is not too serious, but too many people have been put in, and the cost of silence is too high, so they can only fight to the death.
Moreover, the situation has always given them a glimmer of hope. The embankment along the river and the houses on the other side of the inn are basically under their occupation.
From time to time, they were able to seize some of the houses on the other side, but there happened to be a dirt bag next to them. They couldn't occupy it, and it was difficult for them to gain a firm foothold in the inn.
If they want to attack, the land forces will join forces to push them back. Sometimes even the houses on the side of the river will be occupied. However, at this time, the land forces will often fight among themselves and attack each other.
Even if the invading forces unite, new forces coming from the land and people crossing the river and landing will attack them again.
They are not familiar with the environment and have suffered heavy losses. They are often unable to organize an effective counterattack. The houses will change hands again under the strong attack of both sides, and so on.
The forces on the river and on the other side often believe that they are just a little short of success. In addition, the river embankment on this side has been seized by forces on land.
Most of the boats they have are wooden boats. After they wash ashore, they will soon be punctured, leaked, stranded or sunk. The message cannot be sent back, so they can only visually observe it from a distance.
Of course, there is another reason. They are a multi-party alliance. In addition, the casualties are scattered and there is no internal friction. It is difficult to unify the opinions at the moment. Those who still have a glimmer of hope will never tolerate the withdrawal of other forces.
One will weaken their power and make their chances slimmer. Without sharing casualties, they will get more.
Of the two, it is true that one less family means one less person to share the money with, but who knows if you really withdraw? If you just withdraw to preserve your strength, then someone will benefit, and their efforts will not be in vain.
Moreover, since they can join forces, they probably know each other, and may not be friends, but they are certainly not too far apart. Who knows if you will rob your home after you withdraw and preserve your strength?
So! Once they are tied together, they are destined to advance and retreat together. No one party can withdraw just because it wants to.
At present, not many people are willing to give up and evacuate. Even if they heard that the police and security forces were blocking their way from behind, they remained unmoved.
For these bandit gangs, they usually have to deal with these people, and few of them are afraid of these people. In fact, these people often can't stand them, and even some ruthless bandits, but these people have to avoid them.
of.
"Captain Li, do you want to fight?"
In the heavy rain, Captain Li led his men to set up defenses along the river embankment. The nearest one to the melee area was 300 meters away.
Looking at the gun flames flashing like stars in the rain, Captain Li shook his head slightly.
"The opponent only asked us to surround them. Although they did not prohibit attacks, for the sake of safety, we should just surround them honestly first. Besides, if we want to take action, now is not a good time. We should let them spend more time on their own and we will see the situation later."
Captain Li refused. Captain Su was a little bit ready to make a move. With the movement in front of him, he really didn't dare to get involved casually.
"What about the people behind?" Captain Su pointed behind him. There were not only the people surrounded by them in front of them, but also people behind them who were watching eagerly.
"The other party said that they have other arrangements. We don't need to take care of it. Let's take precautions! Let them in if they want to, but there is no way out if they want to."
Captain Li doesn't dare to leave the people behind him alone. Who knows if he might lose his mind and stab them in the back?
And the people outside the encirclement are currently scolding their mothers for not coming earlier and not coming later. If they only come at this time and come to such a position, isn't it bad for them?
That's right, most people just think that they are here to do bad things, and even think that they just want to get involved and share the benefits later, and do not think that they are really here to encircle and suppress.
After all, this strength really can't withstand them. At most, it will cause some obstacles. If all the families can work together, it is not impossible to eat them.
Of course, their intervention in the melee inside also caused some wavering spectators to choose to retreat or stay away.
"Are these the only people they arranged? Or are they mixed in among them?" Takeuchi frowned as he looked at the report in his hand.
The relevant news was quickly delivered to him, but it was very different from what he expected.
“After inquiries, we have learned that what we can determine so far is that the several marine police teams from Suzhou possess the type of shell gun kits from the Intelligence Department. Others have not found the problem yet.
These marine police teams were the last to arrive, and combined with some of the situations we had previously investigated, they feel very suspicious, but it is not yet certain whether the intelligence agency armed them, or whether these are people from the other side."
After listening to Matsushita's explanation, Takeuchi was a little dissatisfied and said, "Can't we confirm it through other details? Will the people from the Intelligence Department behave the same as the Marine Police when they are walking, sitting or lying down?"
After listening to this, Matsushita quickly explained: "Chief Takeuchi, our deployment among the police and security forces is mainly on the armed forces deployed in this name in and around SH urban area.
Most of the people involved this time were the surrounding police and security forces, and most were from the middle and lower classes. We paid very limited attention to them, and the information we learned was only from other people's mouths, and we did not witness it with our own eyes."
Takeuchi didn't say anything more, and Matsushita had already said it tactfully. Among the police and security forces who came, they probably didn't place anyone among them. At most, they developed a few informants.
Being able to find out this information temporarily is already something Panasonic has carved on the tip of a needle. To ask for anything else is not to force others to do it, but simply impossible.
Takeuchi suspected that the other party's use of these people might be related to their weak penetration of it, so as to prevent them from prying into it?
But this doesn’t make sense? The reason for the lack of penetration is naturally because these people are weak and pose no threat to them, nor can they be helped. Is there something fishy about it?
"Have you still not noticed any movement from the military?" Takeuchi was worried and continued to ask.
Panasonic shook his head, indicating that everything was still as usual. Except for a few surrounding garrison troops who were vigilant and on guard, others turned off the lights and went to sleep normally.
It is appropriate for the surrounding troops to be vigilant and on guard. After all, tens of thousands of bandits have gathered here, and no one can guarantee what trouble they will cause.
Even the instigator can't control the other party's behavior at the moment. For Takeuchi, all he needs is a few groups of people and a dozen inns to test it out.
After all, their purpose is to use these people to find silver, and this place is just a target of suspicion. They don't want the news to spread quickly and turn into a melee tonight. At present, he wants to guide and stop these people, but it has no effect.
