War Military: From 1978

Chapter 295 Another Second-Class Merit!

my country currently faces significant public security problems.

The main reason is that after the reform and opening up, the number of unemployed people and migrant workers increased, but my country lacked timely and efficient ways to deal with it.

Military personnel are responsible for external affairs and generally do not participate in local security work.

As for the armed police, they only existed in Chu An's memory.

There's no such position available these days.

Across the country, only a few police officers patrolled the area, and they lacked advanced criminal investigation equipment; their weapons were mainly pistols.

This cannot create an effective deterrent at all.

"Second brother, no one is chasing us!"

It's about a kilometer away from the railway.

The four bandits abandoned their hostage and ran all the way here.

They were panting heavily, and without seeing anyone following them, they walked to a ditch not far from the roadside.

"Quick, change your clothes!"

Everyone was carrying a backpack.

The two men, one with a gun and the other with a knife who had initially taken hostages, threw their backpacks at the ground and then took out several sets of clothes from them.

The stockings on her face were removed, and her clothes were quickly taken off as well.

Quietly approaching Chu An, who was less than twenty meters away, they lay low on the roadside.

Suddenly, Chu An moved.

Silently.

He's not the kind of idiot you see on TV.

Before going up, he yelled something like "Don't move!"

"who!"

Suddenly, the pistol was thrown onto the backpack, and the man who had just changed his shirt screamed in terror.

Instinctively, he bent down to pick up the gun!

"what!"

A scream erupted.

His bent-over back froze, and his other hand gripped his right hand tightly as he reached down.

As you can see, a dagger is stuck directly into his right wrist.

"court death!"

At that moment, one of the robbers, who was over 1.6 meters tall, was shirtless.

The sudden change was so shocking that when he came to his senses, he saw that Chu An had already rushed up to him.

Because he was changing clothes, the knife wasn't in his hand, but he didn't pick it up. He raised his foot, ready to kick Chu An to the ground.

just
Chu An completely ignored him.

With a leap, he dodged the kick and knocked down the thug who was clutching his hand and screaming in pain.

Then, Chu An rolled on the ground and stood up.

"Don't move!"

Only then did Chu An speak his first words.

The other two men who had picked up the knife and were about to surround them, including one of the bandits who had turned to run away, all froze when they looked back.

They are not afraid of the law; as bandits, they only speak the "truth."

Their so-called truth is that whoever has the bigger fist is right.

In other words, I have guns and knives, so you have to listen to me.

But now, the truth that should have belonged to them is in Chu An's hands.

"Are you a train police officer?"

Beside him, the so-called second brother who had been bumped by Chu An was sweating profusely and looked at Chu An with a question in his eyes, enduring the excruciating pain.

"Is it important?"

Chu An glanced at him, then turned to the other three and snapped, "Come here, pick up your things and get ready to leave!"

"Brother, how much does a train police officer make a month? Let us go, and all the valuables here are yours, how about it?"

The guy who got stabbed was clearly their leader, and he seemed to have some brains. Even in this situation, he was still trying to struggle and even tried to bribe Chu An.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chu An's eyes.

He is a soldier who has been to the battlefield.

This is a group that is willing to bravely sacrifice their lives for their country.

Chu An loved his country, and many of his comrades truly fulfilled their promise to defend their homeland with their lives. This is the land they protected.

But what they protect is not only the land, but also the countless lights and peace within it.

These criminals also appeared to be in their prime.

But not only do they not think about protecting their homeland, they also commit crimes within the country!
This is a desecration of the peace they earned with their lives.

They deserve to die.

With his finger tightly gripping the trigger, Chu An spat out through gritted teeth, "I'm a soldier, a veteran of the battlefield. Don't force me to just kill you all!"

Slaughter was something Chu An was already very familiar with.

After last year's battle, Chu An's hands were stained with the blood of at least a hundred people.

Because of this, Chu An's eyes narrowed, and after he said those words, the four of them immediately felt a chill run down their spines, and the hairs on the back of their heads stood on end.

They had a feeling that Chu An might actually shoot them dead at any moment.

Of course, Chu An was rational; although he wanted to do it, he knew that reality would not allow him to.

They are bandits, and now they have lost the ability to resist. Everything that follows will be left to the law to punish them.

He threatened the four men with a gun and forced them to return the way they came.

After walking back for five or six hundred meters, a figure suddenly appeared ahead who saw the commotion and hurriedly hid by the roadside.

This is what a real train police officer looks like.

They treated the middle-aged man who had been shot, and then rescued and brought back the two frightened female students.

Finally, he tried to track them down along the way, and that's how he stumbled upon them.

"Hehe, this is truly a case of dying before even getting started!"

"Squad leader, thank goodness you weren't wearing your uniform, and you still managed to catch those damned bastards, otherwise we would have been humiliated!"

Jiang Yunfei and the others are now all lying in the N City People's Hospital.

Even though they avoided major arteries and bandaged themselves in time, stabbing themselves with a knife still meant the dagger had pierced their legs, and the injury wouldn't be minor.

At least they can forget about returning to their units on schedule.

Right now, Chu An is by their side.

Hearing Jiang Yunfei's words, Chu An also laughed: "Serves you right for being so proud. Now you're not just suffering, are you?"

It was just a prick on his leg; such an injury wasn't enough to worry Chu An.

On the battlefield, we've become accustomed to seeing even more severe injuries.

This kind of injury will heal in a month or two!
"These damn bastards always use hostages to threaten people. If there were no hostages, I'd beat them to a pulp!"

The student from Class 3 on the side also looked like he had nowhere to vent his anger.

It was really frustrating.

As soldiers who had come from the battlefield, they were forced to mutilate themselves in order to protect the people from harm.

Even though several hours have passed, they are still very annoyed by this feeling of frustration.

"Even if you kill me, I'll never wear my military uniform when I go out again!"

"Indeed, the military uniforms are too conspicuous. Those damned guys must have been eyeing us as soon as they got on the bus!"

"Alright, take good care of your injuries!" Chu An interrupted their conversation.

I raised my hand and glanced at my watch.

"It's almost dawn. I'll go to the police station to contact the school about your situation and have them notify your unit!"

Although they have graduated, they haven't returned to their units yet, have they?
Now that something like this has happened, we definitely need to contact the school immediately.

Chu An spent most of the day at the hospital that day.

It wasn't until nearly evening that Chu An boarded a train heading home again.

He wasn't injured, so he naturally had to return to his unit on schedule. Although he was delayed by a day, he still had time to go home.

Therefore, Chu An's original plan does not need to be changed.

As for Jiang Yunfei and the others...

In the afternoon, people from the school came.

It's worth mentioning that, in addition to making arrangements for Jiang Yunfei and the others, the people from the school also told Chu An that he had done a great job this time and that the school would award him a second-class merit, which would then be sent directly to the military.

To be honest, Chu An was actually a little dazed at the time.

On the battlefield, a second-class merit is very difficult to obtain; it's the kind that you can't get if you don't kill enough enemies.

But now we can get by catching a few bandits.

Of course, Chu An also understood that the situation was different.

This is about protecting people's lives and property and fighting crime. It's understandable that the evaluation of merits is different from battlefield operations.
