under fire

Chapter 807
Li Huanzhang stood on the roof of a one-story house in the east: "According to our policy, these bandits and captives will be educated and released after a few days, but the bandits surnamed Wang surrounded us with great fanfare and rescued them. Did they take the wrong medicine?"

Company Commander Zhou next to him looked at the darkness: "I think their main purpose should be to get back those guns. As long as there are guns and supplies on the plains, the bandits can recruit a team of people who know how to do it at any time to strengthen their team."

"I want to treat the Eighth Route Army as a soft persimmon, hehe, these bandits have such a beautiful idea."

"Actually, it's no wonder that they don't have the news. Many people don't even know the prestige of our Eighth Route Army."

"You're right, so this title has to be earned with our guns!"

A figure came running in the darkness: "Report to the platoon leader, the bandits have sent someone to negotiate!"

"Negotiation? Bring people here! I'd like to see where these bastards have the confidence!" Li Huanzhang slipped down from the low broken roof as he spoke, and took out a big knife from behind the militiamen next to him. , chopping vigorously from left to right and playing with two knives.

Not long after, the old gangster Qi was led by the outer guard post and appeared in the light of the torches at the entrance of the village: "Hello, Mr. Li, my brother's surname is Qi, this time I came to discuss something with you."

Li Huanzhang was not in a good mood at all, he shook the big knife in his hand, and looked at the two bandits who came: "... blind your dog eyes, are you trying to bully our Eighth Route soldiers this time? How dare you send them away?" Come to the door? Believe it or not, I killed you two to sacrifice the flag?"

The old gangster Qi was calm, and cupped his hands: "Hehe, Mr. Li, right? Everyone is trying to survive on this land, whoever has the biggest fist. Whoever decides, I think you should understand this truth?"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Release our people and return our guns! This matter is over."

Li Huanzhang wanted to slash the little bandit leader with his knife: "If you want what I have, you must first ask me if I agree with the big knife!"

The old gangster Qi was not afraid, but smiled instead: "You'd better recognize the situation, my army is overwhelming, I don't ask much, as long as you release the man and return all the guns, we can still be friends in the future!"

Li Huanzhang despises: "You don't even inquire? Our Eighth Route Army has never been in the habit of being friends with traitors. I don't think you seem to have much sincerity in negotiating. To tell you the truth, our Eighth Route Army dares to fight even devils. Do you think I will?" Afraid of you?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you have been fighting devils, I would have sent people into the village long ago! You are not afraid of death in a war on the Eighth Route, you just have such a small number of people..." The old bandit Qi made it clear that he bullied the few with more.

"Since I have accepted the task of escorting the prisoners, I will never let them go without the approval of my superiors. Although you have many bandits, your combat effectiveness is scum. If you want to fight, let them come!"

The old gangster Qi still persuaded: "Everyone understands people, if we really want to fight, no one of us will be able to fight cheaply."

Who doesn't want to be a hero?But with the lives of his soldiers, militiamen, and active common people as bargaining chips, Li Huanzhang couldn't do it: "You should know the rules of the Eighth Route Army! Three days, after three days, you can come to our base to pick up people!"

Old bandit Qi was once a soldier. He understands how strong the Eighth Route Army's heart attack tactics are, so of course he won't be fooled: "Hehe, that's okay. I'll surround you here for three days. Don't think I don't know that you sent someone to ask for help. See For the sake of having dealt with you, I did not embarrass them, but with the little troops left by your Eighth Route Army in your broken base, even if reinforcements come, it is estimated that they will not be able to steal chickens and have to lose a lot of rice by then!"

The correspondent sent back is very skilled, and it is absolutely impossible to be caught by the bandits. This guy obviously found the correspondent but failed to stop him. He deliberately sold favors here. Thinking of this: "Haha, the bandits Wang Taigong and his son are said to be despicable and shameless. It seems to be true. You first joined the national army, and then joined the devils. In Zhaojiazhuang, you sent people to negotiate with us, and you also agreed that everyone would not fight your own people. You will have trouble with us in a blink of an eye. Do you think I will believe you? What about the guy?"

The damaged Qi old bandit's face remained unchanged: "One yard is worth one yard. In Zhaojiazhuang, I said that I would not fight with you. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, but here... it's not Zhaojiazhuang. Besides, you sneaked up on us first, and I Not ambushing you on the road, it's considered a face for you."

"Ambush? You really have a face. If we hadn't discovered that you had set up an ambush in Dahan Village in advance, maybe you really fell into your trick!" Li Huanzhang didn't say anything, and deliberately messed up. Now we have to buy time and fight The later it starts, the better for yourself.

The old bandit Qi nodded: "Platoon Leader Li, I can give you one last chance, people, I will take them all away, and I only need a hundred guns! This matter will be exposed!"

This part of the plain has long since become a barren land, and nothing useful can be scraped out by digging ten feet of ground. On the black market, a quick gun can be sold for a hundred oceans, and the key is that money can't buy it!

So Li Huanzhang immediately understood that the real purpose of the old bandit was those guns.

"Hehe, your idea is really beautiful. First of all, I want you to take people away now. Obviously, this is to let the tiger go back to the mountain. This is absolutely impossible, but you can send people to replace the wounded soldiers. As for other people, as long as I Return safely to the base area, I will guarantee it with the head of the project, after three days, if they are willing to leave, I will let them go, and if they are not willing to leave, I will let them go too!" The other party lowered the price, Li Huanzhang was not a single muscle, and immediately sat down and paid back the money.

The old gangster Qi shook his head: "I think you'd better think twice. Commander Wang Shao was going to catch you all. For the sake of your resistance against Japan, I'll intercede with you. Don't push yourself too far!"

Li Huanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "According to what you said, I still have to thank you?"

The old bandit Qi persuaded earnestly: "Brother, you still listen to me. If there is a real fight, with a team of 400 people outside our village, you can really fight the most in your village except for the ordinary people and militiamen who carry the wounded. On the 40th, if you really want to be a hero and don’t care about their lives, then I won’t help you either! Farewell.”

The old bandit Qi decided to give courtesy first and then soldiers, in order to leave a way out for himself!

Since the old army was gone, after so many years in the plains, he had no choice but to follow the surname Wang to pretend to be a devil.

He had known for a long time that although Tuba Road was poor, those highly skilled and courageous armed work teams penetrated every corner of the devil-occupied areas, and often assassinated those traitors by any means.

Without the old army, there would be no backer. He didn't want to be killed by the Eight Route Army for no reason, because...he had to find a chance to avenge those old brothers!
He didn't want to offend the eight roads to the death. The so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, leaving a line today and seeing each other in the future are all life-saving tactics commonly used by bandits.

This time, even if there is a conflict between the two sides in the end, Eight Routes will make the first move, and they will be able to find an excuse in the future.

The cruelty of the bandits is not for bragging, the person surnamed Shi in the south, used to liven up people's hearts in public!
As for kidnapping and extorting, lighting the enemy's sky lanterns, and burying opponents alive, how many villages have the bandits never done?
If the Eighth Route Army was just an ordinary armed force, the method he adopted would definitely be to kill the grass and root out the root!
