Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2217 Bandit-Sun Lao Hu!

"Leader Ye, we made a lot of money this time."

The guerrillas returned with a full load and were in high spirits. They did not feel tired at all even though they were carrying heavy loads.

Long Qianyan and Ma Ping'an also came back to reunite at this time. They were just about to say that they had suffered a heavy loss this time. After firing so many artillery shells, they couldn't even attack the outskirts of the mountain stronghold.

But when I saw that Duanwu and his group were carrying various weapons and ammunition, the unhappiness in my heart was immediately swept away.

It would be strange if it were not fair to exchange dozens of artillery shells for so much ammunition supply.

Ma Sanpao said: "Leader Ye, with so many weapons and ammunition, we can still ambush the Japanese."

Long Qianyan said: "More than that, with so many weapons and ammunition, we can at least kill 1,800 Japanese soldiers."

But at this time, Duanwu was not as optimistic as the other two. The Japanese would become more cautious after suffering several losses in a row, and as a result, their chances of attack would become fewer and fewer, or even no chance at all.

Moreover, the Japanese suffered such a great loss but did not chase them. It was obvious that the Japanese had already come up with a countermeasure and should be defending the mountain stronghold waiting for reinforcements.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find a way to break through or find a new exit from the Valley of Evil and escape the encirclement of the Japanese.

Duanwu was thinking about the next countermeasures, but at this moment, the signalman suddenly ran over breathlessly and said, "Leader Ye is in trouble. Our people were captured by Sun Lao Hu's people. Let us take 200 yuan to redeem them. The deadline is only daybreak."

"what?"

  Ma Sanpao was shocked because Sun Lao Hu and his group had never had any friction with the guerrillas and everything was fine before. Why would they suddenly attack the guerrillas?

Long Qianyan was also a little surprised, and then they both looked at Duanwu at the same time.

Duanwu asked back, "How many people does Sun Lao Hu have?"

Long Qianyan thought for a moment and replied, "Sun Lao Hu's men are not many, but there are many villagers in the village. I told you before that Hong Tianlei often led people to rob food. The villagers thought, if you rob, I will rob too, so they got a few guns and became bandits.

Their village chief is called Sun Lao Hu, an egoist who always considers their village first.

But since Hong Tianlei's death, he and our guerrillas have always been at peace, and I don't know what happened today!"

Ma Sanpao interrupted, "What else could it be? He must have heard that the Japs had entered Evil Man Ridge, and like Yang San, he was ready to take our heads to the Japs as a token of his surrender!"

Long Qianyan nodded and agreed that Ma Sanpao was right.

Ma Sanpao said: "Leader Ye, give me a few men, and I will lead them to destroy Sun Lao Hu."

Duanwu asked with a smile: "What if they hide among the common people?"

Ma Sanpao was about to say, "I don't care about that." But then he thought, "I am a guerrilla, I can't kill innocent people."

Thinking of this, Ma Sanpao was embarrassed.

Long Qianyan had no idea either.

At this time, Duanwu said again: "And you see our soldiers are very tired and in urgent need of rest. We will have to face a more brutal war tomorrow."

Ma Sanpao was at a loss and said, "Leader Ye, what should we do then?"

Duanwu thought for a moment and said, "I will go alone. Give me the horse that pulls the cart."

Long Qianyan and Ma Sanpao knew what was going on as soon as they heard it, and hurriedly said, "How can this be possible! Leader Ye, you can't take any more risks." Duanwu smiled and said, "What risks are there? They are just a group of ordinary people who were forced to take action. And I have money on me!"

As Duanwu said this, he actually took out two silver dollars from his pocket.

Seeing only two dollars, Ma Sanpao grinned and said, "How can this be enough?"

Duanwu smiled mysteriously and said, "Enough, these two dollars of mine can be used as two gold bars."

As he spoke, Duanwu took the ordinary horse without a saddle from a soldier and said, "You guys rest here, I'll be back soon. Remember to be alert and beware of the Japanese sneak attacks.

Although the Japanese didn't chase us before, it doesn't mean they won't have any sudden ideas. So you must be careful."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Ma Sanpao and Long Qianyan responded at the same time, because obviously, they didn't have a better way. And they believed that Leader Ye definitely had the ability to deal with Sun Lao Hu.

After all, a few hundred Japanese devils were nothing in Leader Ye's eyes, let alone a mere Sun Lao Hu.

So Long Qianyan, Ma Sanpao and others watched Duanwu riding his horse gradually disappear into the night.

  ·············

At the same time, in the Sunjia Village ancestral hall, Sun Lao Hu was drinking with several bandit leaders. The table was in a mess, and Sun Lao Hu was a little tipsy. He asked, "Have you checked everyone?"

One of his men replied, "Don't worry, village chief. We are keeping a close eye on everyone. These people sneaked into our territory. If they can't give us an explanation, we will kill them with three knives and six eyes."

Sun Lao Hu said disdainfully: "Yes, just give him three cuts and six eyes."

As he spoke, Sun Lao Hu drank another half bowl of wine in big gulps, and then talked to his other four brothers about expanding the team.

At this time, Sun Lao Hu no longer wanted to hide in Evil Ridge. He also wanted to go out and explore the world.

It's just that he has too few people under him.

Although the villagers in the village all listened to him, he didn't have that many guns!

If he wanted guns, he had to have a lot of money. So after he caught the guerrillas, he thought about asking them for some ransom, or weapons and ammunition.

But he didn't know that this time he offended someone he shouldn't have offended.

Of course, this is enough to illustrate the lack of information at that time. Duanwu fought with the Japanese so many times and killed countless Japanese, but Sun Lao Hu had never heard of Ye Xuwen and treated the guerrillas as the same guerrillas as before.

  Otherwise, how would he dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers?

At the same time, at about one o'clock in the morning, Duanwu had arrived at the small mountain village in the Evil Valley.

Sunjia Village is located in a dangerous area and is built on the mountain, with its houses scattered in a trapezoidal shape on the hillside.

Looking from afar, the houses in the village are stacked along the mountain. Each building cleverly utilizes the terrain, making the entire village look like a huge maze or a huge fortress.

And it is no wonder, Sun Lao Hu was able to challenge the Hong Tian Bomb at that time with just a dozen guns.

Duanwu took out the map and compared the entire mountain village again, and said with a little regret: "If I didn't know that there were villagers living here, it would be a good place to kill the devils."

  Of course, Duanwu was just thinking about it. Because the devils not only had cannons but also planes. Although the houses in Sunjia Village were solid and built with stones from the mountains, they still had no resistance under the bombing of airplanes and cannons!
