Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Shanmaozi spat out blood and looked at the big knife on his chest. He was a little confused for a moment. Was he going to die? !

His head tilted, and Shanmaozi died completely, with his eyes open.

After seeing this scene, Monk Wei felt a sense of relief for some reason. Although he didn't know why, he felt much better.

The other bandits looked at Shanmaozi's body, especially his eyes that were still open, looking at them, as if they would be the next.

"Master Ba, please spare us. We will never dare to do it again. Please let us go!"

"We promise not to do bad things again and will do more good things."

"I have old people and young children to take care of, please let me go."

The bandits kowtowed and begged for mercy, fearing that they would be beaten to death in the next second.

However, their pleas were of little avail.

When they committed so many evil things, their current fate was doomed.

Bang bang bang…

With a burst of gunfire, all the bandits in Heiyun Village were killed, leaving no one alive.

"Oh no, I forgot to catch the bandit leader." Monk Wei slapped his head, wondering how could he have forgotten about this.

These bandits have been killed, how can we publicly try them in front of the villagers? !
Li Yunlong also went up the mountain at this time. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, he nodded. No one was injured or killed in this battle.

Although the cooperation between the recruits was still a little awkward, their performance was still acceptable.

There are quite a few new recruits vomiting nearby, obviously they are not used to such bloody scenes.

Li Yunlong has not yet let them kill the enemy with bayonets at close range. After all, only by killing the enemy at close range can these new recruits grow faster.

But the problem is not serious, at least there is bleeding.

With more practice, you can barely be called elite.

"Monk, where is the bandit leader of Heiyun Village?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"Hehe, Captain, I forgot about it. We killed them all." Monk Wei smiled and touched his head, looking very embarrassed.

"Damn it, if you kill them all, how can you publicly try these bandits!" Li Yunlong was so angry that he laughed.

"It's my fault, Captain. Please punish me. I accept the punishment." Monk Wei said quickly. After all, he was the one who made the mistake.

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. Maybe we can get some benefits from Old Zhao." Li Yunlong didn't take this matter to heart.

He thought that some bandits must have escaped from the back mountain.

"Monk, what's wrong with this guy?! Can he kill him?!" Li Yunlong saw the big knife stuck in Shanmaozi's chest, which was obviously the same one that Monk Wei had been carrying before.

"Well, I don't know why, but when I saw this man, I felt inexplicably angry, so I couldn't help but fight with him, and killed him in two moves." Monk Wei did not hide it and said it directly.

"Just kill him." Li Yunlong stepped forward, pulled out the big knife, and handed it to Monk Wei.

The latter simply took the dead bandit's clothes and wiped the blood off the knife before continuing to carry it on his back.

"New recruits, assemble!" Li Yunlong gave an order and immediately gathered the new recruits who were still vomiting.

"Remember this scene for me. Because in future wars, you will experience more. You must adapt in advance so that you will have more hope of surviving on the real battlefield! Do you understand?" Li Yunlong said loudly.

"Understood!" the recruits responded. They looked pale and had obviously vomited a lot.

"When this is over, you will be responsible for disposing of these bodies." Li Yunlong gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the recruits could only nod.

The veterans also began to search the cave to make sure there were still bandits that had not been killed.

Not long after, an old soldier discovered something in a cave room. It seemed that there was a person hiding in a basket.

"Who are you? Come out quickly or I'll shoot!" the old soldier shouted, loading the gun in his hand.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm coming out, I'm coming out." A voice came from the basket, and then a woman opened the basket and came out.

"What's wrong with you? Were you kidnapped by bandits?!" The old soldier couldn't help but say as he looked at the other person wearing red clothes.

"Yes, I was captured by the bandits here and brought to the mountains. The second-in-command of the bandits wanted to marry me. Who are you?!" He Xiaofang asked back.

From what she heard from what the man just said, she thought he was not a bad person, otherwise she would not have been kidnapped by bandits.

"Then you are safe. We are the Eighth Route Army. Come with me." The old soldier said with a smile.

"What?! You are the Eighth Route Army?! Is this true?!" The woman was shocked. She had heard of the Eighth Route Army, which is a good army for the people, but she had never heard of any trace of Eighth Route Army activities nearby.

"Of course it's true. We heard that there were bandits harming the people here, so we ran a long way and came here to suppress the bandits and get rid of this harm to the people." The old soldier responded with a smile.

"So that's how it is. You are really good people." The woman became happy.

"Let's go. Don't stay here. It's so dark." The old soldier led the way.

Soon, the two went outside.

"Captain, we rescued a civilian." The old soldier stepped forward and said to Li Yunlong.

As soon as He Xiaofang came out, she saw corpses all over the ground. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She also smelled blood in the air. She couldn't help but ran to the side and vomited.

"Girl, are you okay? Don't be afraid, we are the Eighth Route Army and we won't hurt you." Li Yunlong stepped forward to comfort her.

"Well, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been defiled by the bandits." He Xiaofang nodded and bowed to Li Yunlong again.

Li Yunlong was so scared that he quickly helped him up.

"That's not possible. We are a force serving the people, and it is our duty to suppress bandits," Li Yunlong explained.

"No matter what, you saved me." He Xiaofang said. She was really scared when she thought about being caught.

If the Eighth Route Army had not happened to be suppressing bandits, she would have been in great trouble and would not have been able to face anyone.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll have someone take you down the mountain first. Just tell the soldiers where you live." Li Yunlong immediately sent two soldiers to escort He Xiaofang down the mountain.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise this girl would have suffered who knows what kind of suffering." Monk Wei also spoke up.

If a weak woman enters a bandit's den and no one comes to rescue her, you can imagine what will happen to her even with your toes.

"Therefore, the greatest significance of suppressing bandits is to prevent such a situation from happening again in the future, and to deter other bandits so that they dare not come here." Li Yunlong said seriously.

Once the news of their suppression of bandits spreads, it will deter other bandits who want to come and do evil.

"Yes." Monk Wei nodded.

.........

At this time, on a cliff in the back mountain, Xie Baoqing came here carrying a bundle of hemp ropes as thick as a thumb. He took a look at the cliff, which was about seven or eight meters high.

"Damn it, I'm so unlucky. Why did the Eighth Route Army attack us out of the blue?" Xie Baoqing took off the rope while cursing, then tied a stone to one end of the rope and threw it towards a tree not far away.

The stone and the rope were rolled up on a tree trunk and tied into a knot. Xie Baoqing pulled the rope hard, worried that it was unstable.

Although falling from this height would not kill him, it would at least break his bones.

After making sure the rope was stable, Xie Baoqing grabbed the rope and swung down.

The rope was not long enough, so Xie Baoqing let it dangle in the air for a few times before letting go.

Bang bang bang…

Hearing the intensive gunfire coming from the direction of the mountain stronghold, Xie Baoqing was so scared that he rolled and crawled into the woods.

He ran and looked back, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would catch up with him.

However, at this moment, Zhao Gang came out with more than twenty soldiers and surrounded Xie Baoqing.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!" Zhao Gang shouted.

The soldiers also raised their guns and aimed at Xie Baoqing.

"Eighth Master, please spare me, Eighth Master, please spare me!" Xie Baoqing was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt down in front of Zhao Gang.

"What's your name?" Zhao Gang asked expressionlessly.

"Eighth Master, my name is Xie Baoqing, and I'm the leader of the Black Cloud Village." Xie Baoqing didn't dare to hide it and told it quickly.

Even if he didn't say anything, the brothers in the mountain village would betray him soon, and then he might die even faster.

However, he had no idea that the bandits in Heiyun Village had been wiped out.

"You are Xie Baoqing?!" Zhao Gang was immediately delighted when he heard that. He didn't expect that he would catch a big fish while guarding in the back mountain. That's great.

"Yes, I am Xie Baoqing." Xie Baoqing responded quickly.

"Catch him and take him away!" Zhao Gang gave the order.

"Eighth Master, where are you taking me?!" Xie Baoqing's legs were still weak and his voice was trembling.

"Pick him up and take him away." Seeing this, Zhao Gang had no choice but to let two soldiers, one on each side, carry Xie Baoqing away.

A few minutes later, Zhao Gang brought Xie Baoqing back to Heiyun Village.

Looking at the open space filled with corpses, Zhao Gang pretended not to see anything.

When Xie Baoqing saw that all his brothers were killed, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. If someone hadn't supported him, he would have fallen down again.

"Old Zhao, who did you catch? The little leader of the Black Cloud Village? Damn, he runs pretty fast." Li Yunlong stepped forward and asked.

In fact, no matter whether the other party is the leader or not, when the time comes, just stuff his mouth and put on a hood and say it is Xie Baoqing, and then deal with him in front of the people.

"This man is the leader of Heiyun Village, Xie Baoqing." Zhao Gang responded with a smile.

"Ahaha, I didn't expect that you, Lao Zhao, would catch this big fish. Fortunately, I had the foresight to think that the bandits might have some small path in the back mountain to escape.

As expected, I caught this big fish." Li Yunlong did not forget to praise himself.

It seems that there is no need to put a hood on the other party now, since we are catching the real culprit anyway.

"Yes, yes, you, Old Li, are really amazing. You can foresee things like a god." Zhao Gang was also a little helpless, but Li Yunlong was indeed very capable.

Just by taking a look at the nearby terrain, he was able to conclude that the bandits had a retreat route.

If Li Yunlong was not dominated by anger, his command ability would be quite impressive.

"Xie Baoqing, right?!" Li Yunlong looked at Xie Baoqing and asked with a smile.

"Eighth Master, what's wrong?!" Xie Baoqing replied in a trembling voice.

"Your days are over." Li Yunlong said slowly.

As soon as he said this, Xie Baoqing was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

"Old Li, what are you doing? How can I work if you scare him to death?" Zhao Gang said angrily when he saw this.

If Xie Baoqing was frightened to death, how could he publicly try Xie Baoqing in front of the people?

"Haha, I just said that. Who knew this guy was so timid? Is he really a bandit leader? He has no courage at all." Li Yunlong laughed twice.

Then he led the soldiers down the mountain carrying supplies. As for the new recruits, they piled the bandits' bodies into a pile and then burned them all with fire.

Later, Zhao Gang followed the plan and brought Xie Baoqing before the people for a public trial and then executed him by firing squad.

When the people saw this, they were not afraid at all and they all applauded.

There were even many people who wanted to join them, but the new regiment was already full, so Zhao Gang could only politely refuse.

After dealing with Xie Baoqing, Zhao Gang also went to meet Li Yunlong.

In a forest, Li Yunlong was lying on a big rock with his eyes closed.

"Captain, the political commissar is back." Monk Wei came over and reported.

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately stood up and just in time saw Zhao Gang walking over.

"Old Zhao, is everything done?! How's the situation among the people?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"Well, the response has been very good. The people all applauded our efforts to suppress the bandits, and some even wanted to join us.
But our new regiment already has enough people, so I can only politely refuse." Zhao Gang said these words with a smile on his face.

"That's fine. I don't know how the other troops are doing, but I estimate they should be about the same. Calculating the time, this bandit suppression operation will be over in three days." Li Yunlong said.

According to his calculations, it would take at most three days to wipe out almost all the bandits they had found.

"Yeah!" Zhao Gang nodded. They had seized a lot of money during this trip and their reputation had also become famous. This was a good thing. More people would join their Eighth Route Army in the future. This was based on the mass base.

.........

At this time, on Li Jin's side, they retreated along the original route.

We have been walking for almost half a month, but have not found any ambush by the Japanese.

"Battalion Commander, it seems that the Japanese have completely ended their blockade of us." Liu Changshun said. Although he was still a little cautious along the way, nothing went wrong.

"Well, I said the Japanese wouldn't dare to gamble. After all, we have many choices while the Japanese only have one way." Li Jin nodded and said with confidence.

His guess was indeed correct. After receiving the clear text telegram, the Japanese decisively chose to withdraw their troops and did not continue the ambush.

"Battalion Commander, you didn't plan all this, did you?!" Liu Changshun couldn't help but say. He suspected that the battalion commander was deliberately trying to scare him.

Exposing their own targets and attracting the Japanese to encircle them were actually all things the battalion commander had expected, and his purpose was to play a trick on the Japanese.

Of course, the battalion commander also fooled them.

"If you think so, then it is." Li Jin laughed twice when he heard that.
