Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Then there is nothing more to say. In this bandit suppression operation, no one should be left alive! Remember, no prisoners!" Li Yunlong made the decision immediately.

"Old Li, when we kill those bandit leaders, it is best to take them to the villages and kill them, so that the villagers know that we, the Eighth Route Army, are eliminating harm for the people." Zhao Gang reminded.

This bandit suppression operation can also be a good opportunity to promote the Eighth Route Army, making the people feel more favorable towards them and showing them that they are a people's army that truly cares about the people.

"Okay, no problem." Li Yunlong agreed decisively. This could be considered as a legitimate reason for his action.

"Regarding the matter of assembling the troops, we need to send a telegram to the commander for instructions." Zhao Gang continued. Although Li Yunlong was the head of the regiment, he could not mobilize the entire regiment without applying for permission.

You know, the current strength of the New 1st Regiment has reached nearly 5,000 people. Such a large-scale mobilization of troops must be approved by the leaders.

Otherwise, after the fight, if he tells the leader about it, Li Yunlong will inevitably be punished again.

"You can handle this matter." Li Yunlong said directly.

"Yeah." Zhao Gang nodded, then stood up and left the meeting room.

"Our political commissar is different now. He rarely quarrels with you now." Deputy Regimental Commander Qian couldn't help laughing.

"When Lao Zhao first came, he didn't know how to adapt, which really made me very angry, but now he's much better." Li Yunlong also had a smile on his face.

"Oh, remember to have them tell the veterans that they can't just do whatever they want in this bandit suppression campaign, they have to let the new recruits be the main force.

New recruits must see blood, otherwise, how can they become elite soldiers!" Li Yunlong changed the subject.

The purpose of suppressing bandits is to train new recruits. If only veteran soldiers are allowed to take action, there will be no need for training.

Of course, veterans are still needed to provide guidance and tell them how to fight.

"Of course." The two nodded.

.........

Brigade Headquarters.

The commander also received a telegram from the New 1st Regiment.

"If I'm not mistaken, this kid Li Yunlong is going to do something again." The political commissar said with a smile.

"This kid can't sit still. He said he wants to mobilize the New 1st Regiment to suppress bandits and get rid of harm to the people." After reading the telegram, the leader put it on the table and spoke.

"The New 1st Regiment is now strong, but the new recruits really don't have any chance to train. The Japanese and puppet troops are hiding in the county town and don't come out, giving Li Yunlong no chance to train.
If this continues, Li Yunlong will definitely dare to go to the county town to attack. "The political commissar also agreed with Li Yunlong's plan to suppress the bandits.

"You know what, this kid can do it. Suppressing bandits is indeed a good thing. It can also strengthen our position in the hearts of the people." The leader also said that he asked the telegraph operator to reply and agreed to Li Yunlong's plan to suppress bandits.

.........

Five days later.

A happy event happened in Heiyun Village. Today was the wedding day of the second in command Shanmaozi. Although such events happen once or twice every month, the bandits were quite happy about it because they could attend the wedding.

The key is that when the second in command gets tired of playing with his wife, he will let them try something new, which will be even better.

At this time, the bandits had already taken their seats in the cave hall.

Shanmaozi had a red bouquet on his chest and a smile on his face. Next to him stood a woman with her head covered by a red veil.

The woman's body was shaking slightly, and from time to time there were two cries.

"Damn it! It's my big day, why are you crying? If you keep crying, I'll kill you right now!" When Shanmaozi heard the crying, he started cursing.

The woman was so frightened that she stopped crying, but she was still sobbing.

"Damn it, you made a noise." Shanmaozi raised his hand and wanted to hit someone.

"Second brother, be gentle. She is your wife after all. How can you be so rude to her?" Xie Baoqing, who was sitting in a high seat, couldn't help but speak.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Shanmaozi stopped and looked at Xie Baoqing with a smile on his face.

"Someone, take my wife to the bridal chamber." Shanmaozi ordered.

The two bandits escorted the woman to a side passage.

"Brother, let me toast you first. If it weren't for you, there would be no place for us to stay, brothers, right?" Shanmaozi said and turned to look at the bandits.

"Yes." The bandits responded quickly.

"You kid." Xie Baoqing smiled helplessly, shook his head, and then drank the wine in the glass.

"Brothers, let's stop talking nonsense and let me toast you first." Shanmaozi picked up the wine glass, turned around and saluted the bandits on both sides before drinking it all in one gulp.

"Second Master is straightforward!" The bandits cheered and drank the wine in their glasses.

For a moment, the bandits in the hall began to drink heavily, eat large chunks of meat, and their faces were flushed from drinking.

At this time, the woman was sent into a room. She quietly lifted the veil a little and looked at the cave entrance. There were two bandits guarding it, so she had no chance of escape.

This made her feel even more desperate. If she couldn't escape, how could she face people in the future? ! Or, would she still have a future? !
.........

At the same time, Li Yunlong also brought a company of troops to a forest less than a few hundred meters away from Heiyun Village.

This company has more than 300 soldiers, which is totally impossible to annihilate the Black Cloud Village troops.

Even though the Black Cloud Village seems very powerful on weekdays, that is because they have never encountered a regular army like them.

But it must be said that the firepower of the Black Cloud Village is indeed quite strong, with several light machine guns to support it.

"Old Zhao, take a squad of soldiers and guard the back mountain of Heiyun Village. I think some bandits may escape from the back mountain, so you need to stop them." Li Yunlong ordered.

After looking at the map, he felt that this group of bandits might have a route to escape, so he asked Zhao Gang to block them in the back mountain.

Moreover, some of these bandits would surely surrender soon. In order to prevent Zhao Gang from seeing them, it would be appropriate to send Zhao Gang to guard the back mountain.

"I understand!" Zhao Gang nodded decisively in agreement.

"Monk, you and a platoon of soldiers will attack from the front to attract the attention of this group of bandits. Once the bandit's machine gunner wants to shoot,
Just get rid of them and don't let them hurt our people." Li Yunlong looked at Monk Wei and gave the order.

Monk Wei’s shooting skills are now very accurate. After all, Li Yunlong often gave Monk Wei a lot of bullet training.

It can even be said that the bullets used by Monk Wei in training in a month are more than half as many as those used by a member of the Grey Wolf Squad!
"Don't worry, commander. I will never give the bandit machine gunners a chance to shoot." Monk Wei nodded quickly.

"That's not right, Captain. If I lead people to attack, who will protect you?" Monk Wei reacted.

"Damn it, I'm watching from behind, no one can hurt me." Li Yunlong said. He also intended to train Monk Wei.

After all, Monk Wei is quite capable. If he were not assigned as a guard, he could be a battalion commander if he were released.

He couldn't keep Monk Wei around all the time, otherwise, he would feel somewhat sorry for Monk Wei.

"Yes." Monk Wei thought it made sense and agreed.

"Second platoon leader, third platoon leader, you surround them from both wings and don't let any bandit go." Li Yunlong continued to give orders.

"Understood!" the two platoon leaders replied immediately.

"In ten minutes, we will start the attack. Let's go!" Li Yunlong glanced at his watch and gave the order. Zhao Gang led a squad of 20 soldiers and started to take a detour to the woods behind the mountain.

Soon, the battle plan was finalized, and the second and third rows had already taken action, while Monk Wei's first row remained where he was, as it was not yet time for him to move.

A few minutes later, Monk Wei led his men up the mountain. Led by the veteran, the soldiers went up the mountain in an orderly manner in echelons.

Since there were few trees in Heiyun Village, they were discovered by the bandits from Heiyun Village when they went up the mountain.

"Stop! Who are you?" a bandit shouted.

boom!
The next second, a gunshot was heard and the bullet hit the bandit in the chest. Blood flowed from the bandit's wound, which scared the bandits nearby.

But soon, he was also shot.

Bang bang bang…

The new recruits opened fire at the bandits, and many of them were killed on the spot.

This frightened the other bandits so much that they hid themselves and did not dare to fight.

There were several mounted machine guns, but no bandits dared to fire.

Monk Wei was very anxious. Why didn't any bandits touch the machine gun? He had no place to use his machine gun. He just killed one bandit at the beginning.

.........

In the cave hall, the bandits were drunk and making a lot of noise.

boom!boom…

Suddenly, two gunshots were heard, but they did not stop. They thought that one of their brothers had accidentally fired the gun because he was drunk.

However, soon, intensive gunfire was heard.

"Damn it, there has to be a limit to accidental discharge. Don't you know that bullets are expensive when you're firing a machine gun?" Shanmaozi couldn't help but curse. He didn't even think that there was an enemy attacking him.

"Second Master, something seems to be wrong. The gunshots are too frequent. It's impossible that the brothers outside are making trouble?!" A bandit began to worry.

"Send someone to take a look." Xie Baoqing, who was sitting in a high position, couldn't help but speak. He also felt that something seemed to be wrong.

There won't really be any enemies attacking us.

However, before he could send anyone out, a bandit came running in.

"Boss, something bad has happened. The Eighth Route Army is attacking us." the bandit shouted.

"What?! How many of them are coming?" Xie Baoqing was so shocked that he stood up immediately. The other bandits were also startled. Some of them even couldn't hold the wine glass firmly, and it fell to the ground and broke.

"I don't know, there are people everywhere in the mountains!" the bandit replied. How could he know how many people there were? Anyway, many brothers had died in front of him.

"Damn it, how did we offend them?!" Xie Baoqing turned pale with fright.

"Damn it, Second Brother, did you offend them when you went down the mountain?" Xie Baoqing looked at Shanmaozi with a furious face.

Normally, it was the mountain cat who led people down the mountain to rob people. It was possible that the mountain cat was the cause of the trouble.

"Boss, this is absolutely impossible. There is no trace of the Eighth Route Army near us. How could I possibly offend them!" Shanmaozi was so scared that he quickly explained.

On their side, they had never heard of any trace of Eighth Route Army activities.

"Then what's going on?!" Xie Baoqing was furious. Why would the other party come to his door for no reason? After all, it was not their turn to interfere with each other's business.

"I don't know either, maybe it's a misunderstanding." Shanmaozi also looked aggrieved.

Just then, another bandit ran in.

"They've broken in, and we brothers can't stop their attack at all." The bandit shouted, his face full of fear.

"What?! So fast!" Everyone was horrified.

"There must be a misunderstanding. Maybe it will be resolved if we explain it clearly. Second brother, take some people out to explain to them!" Xie Baoqing quickly gave the order.

"Ah?! Me?!" Shanmaozi looked embarrassed.

"What? If you don't want to go, do you want me to go?" Xie Baoqing had a ferocious look on his face and was even planning to pull out his gun.

"Okay, okay, I'll go. I'll go." Shanmaozi quickly agreed and led his people out of the hall.

If he dared to say no, he might be shot to death by Xie Baoqing.

After Shanmaozi and the others left, Xie Baoqing paced back and forth in the same place.

I always feel a little uneasy.

"No, I have to go!" Xie Baoqing remembered that there was a road leading to the back mountain. He could just swing over with a rope.

Thinking of this, Xie Baoqing hurried away.

At this time, in the open space of the mountain stronghold, many bandits were squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads.

As soon as Shanmaozi and his friends came out, they were pointed at with guns by a group of people.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, let's talk it out nicely, let's talk it out nicely." Shanmaozi and the others quickly raised their hands in surrender.

When Monk Wei saw Shanmaozi, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart for some reason.

"Eighth Master, is there any misunderstanding between us? We haven't offended you, so why do you have to come up the mountain to fight us?!" Shanmaozi said tentatively.

"You haven't offended us, but you have oppressed and harmed the people, and that is your crime! What else is there to say?!" Monk Wei responded expressionlessly.

"Ah?! This..." Shanmaozi didn't know what to say for a moment. They had been entrenched here for many years. The Japanese had never attacked, and the National Army had never come to trouble them. Who would have thought that they would be attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

Monk Wei became angrier and angrier as he looked at Shanmaozi.

"Damn it, get up." Monk Wei said to Shanmaozi!

"What's wrong, Mr. Ba?!" Shanmaozi swallowed nervously.

"Here's the knife. Fight with me for a few moves. If you beat me, I'll let you go!" Monk Wei took the ghost-head knife from a soldier beside him and threw it to Shanmaozi, saying at the same time.

"No, Master Eight, how dare I fight with you?" Shanmaozi was trembling with fear. He didn't know why, but he felt that the person in front of him seemed to be very hostile to him.

"Stop talking nonsense to me and hurry up. If you don't do it, I'll chop you down right now!" Monk Wei glared and threatened. He also pulled out the ghost-head knife on his back and signaled the other party to attack.

"Eighth Master, be careful then." Shanmaozi gritted his teeth, then quickly chopped Monk Wei's head with his sword.

Monk Wei was not afraid at all. He raised his knife to block and kicked out at the same time, knocking Shanmaozi to the ground. Before Shanmaozi could get up, Monk Wei threw the weapon in his hand out.

puff!
The broadsword was thrust into the chest of the mountain cat, killing it.
