Republic of China 1927

() Wang Qi and Qian Laoliu died in the hands of Du Yan and Li Yunshan before they could react. Tao Kuang, the second in charge behind him, was a practicing family, and his skills were well-known on the mountain. The first-class expert was also dealt with just in time to scream, but it was his scream that attracted the night patrol on the mountain.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Du Yan changed his mind to a strong attack, and the two Mauser shell guns in his hands rang out, and the brothers behind him rushed over all the way brandishing their guns.Under such a violent blow, most of the so-called patrols also died at gunpoint.

But the death of these people was not worthless, at least it reminded the bandits on the mountain, especially Li Mantang in the big house on the small highland in Guding Zhongyang, which bankrupted the plan to directly capture the bandit leader.Li Mantang, who was awakened in his sleep, immediately led a few bodyguards around him to fight against the stone house, causing a lot of casualties to the brothers of the security team who came straight here. Two youths from Maowo Village were directly hit on the head. died, and two people from the security team were slightly injured.As for the situation that Wu Laosan mentioned that some of the bandits would turn against each other, it didn't happen, and the whole Guding was already in chaos.

"Du Fei, you take three people to occupy the room on the left."

"Laifu, you take three people to occupy the room on the right."

Seeing that the strong attack failed, Du Yan had no choice but to order his men to seize the two houses on the side to prevent the bandits from recovering from the chaos to reinforce the bandit leader who was temporarily trapped in the house.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Gu Ding's gunshots came and went, not only Li Mantang and the others fired from the house, but also Du Yan and the others fired at the bandits running around, and more The terrified and bewildered bandits fired indiscriminately.

After several unsuccessful attempts to rush out of the house, one of Li Mantang's confidants in the stone house said anxiously: "Master, we are surrounded in the house! If we don't try to get out, we will be in chaos outside."

"Why panic, it's just a few remnants!" Li Mantang only wore a brown fur coat and held the shell gun tightly in his hand, and said calmly: "Their target is me, as long as I am still alive, They won't be able to ride the big waves."

Until now, Li Mantang thought it was the Zhao Siyu party inside who was making trouble, and regretted the soft-heartedness a few months ago. The only threat was Wang Baichuan, but Han Si, under Wang Baichuan, was leading his two brothers to stay at the top of the mountain, and the spies sent out outside did not find any changes in Wang Baichuan.

"Fifth brother, it's all right!" Du Yan asked softly, seeing Li Yunshan who was not far away was covering his arms.

"It's nothing, just a little scrape!" Li Yunshan tore off a piece of clothes on his body, wrapped it around his arm and said, "It's just that we can't attack at all, so dragging it down like this is not good for us!"

"Captain, why don't we withdraw!" At this time, Ye Jun was no longer as energetic as when he came, and felt that since the sneak attack was impossible, he had to save his life first.

"No, as long as Li Mantang inside is killed, the bandits outside will be easy to deal with." Wu Laosan is still full of confidence, anyway, he has already put life and death aside.

"It's all up to you, why did you say that the bandits are not stable inside? How come no one has turned against us to support us?" Ye Jun heard Wu Laosan's voice and said complainingly, if the leader hadn't stopped this guy's agitation, he would have There's no point in taking that risk all the time.

"Master Du, why don't I stand up and shout out?" Wu Laosan remembered this, and slowly moved to Du Yan's side and said.

"Wait, wait until Li Mantang is killed." Du Yan shook his head and said, the key to the immediate problem lies in Li Mantang, as long as Li Mantang is dead, the bandits will naturally fall and the monkeys disperse, otherwise the current situation will be the worst for the security team. favorable.

Looking down at the situation on Taiping Gu from the outside is quite interesting. The bandit leader Li Mantang was surrounded by a few cronies in the most central stone house. Several points outside the stone house were firmly controlled by the security team. Outside, they were surrounded by more than 100 bandits.It's just that the bandits didn't know about this situation. Most of the bandits were thrown into panic. After all, their first master was surrounded, their second master was shot dead, and their third master became their opponent. If it weren't for the situation at the foot of the mountain, the situation would also be unknown. The bandits made a small fortune some time ago and couldn't part with it, and most of them probably broke up in a rush.

Generally speaking, Du Yan's side still has the advantage in the situation, but this advantage cannot last forever. As soon as the day breaks, the bandits can clearly see the balance of power between the two sides, or if the bandits on the periphery settle down, they can find out again. Strong leadership, which is fatal for a security team of only 20 people.

Either take advantage of the leaderless bandits outside and defeat them, or kill Li Mantang in the stone house as soon as possible, you must choose one of the two.Compared with the former, Du Yan still thinks the latter is more reliable. It is simply a fantasy to defeat more than 100 bandits who have been entrenched here for a long time with [-] people who are not familiar with the terrain at night, especially in these [-] people. Except for a few servants of the original Du family, the rest of them are almost recruits.

"It turns out that I only need ten brothers from the reconnaissance battalion to settle this mountain." Looking at the stone house a few meters away, Du Yan thought bitterly that the current situation of being stuck at the top is too embarrassing, and retreating is even more impossible. After rushing in, no one was able to control the way up the mountain.

"Brother Angus, there is only one door in this stone house?" Du Yan asked after thinking for a while, it seemed that he had to attack this stone house first, but it seemed that the only door had been blocked by the firepower of the people inside.

"There is indeed only one door." Wu Laosan recalled carefully: "But there seems to be a skylight on the roof, but it should be covered in winter."

"What position? How big is it?" Du Yan's eyes lit up, as if he saw the hope of victory.

"It should be a little bit by the side door on the ridge. It's big or small. It shouldn't be a problem to drill a person!" Wu Laosan quickly understood Du Yan's meaning, but shook his head and said, "This stone house is five or six meters high, and the inside and outside are well-built. Snow and frost, I am afraid it will be difficult to climb up.

"It's no problem, you stay here and don't move. When I get close to the stone house, shoot at the door to distract the other party." Du Yan ordered confidently. Unarmed rock climbing is just a simple thing for him, the former reconnaissance battalion commander. Pediatrics only.

"Guanghua, I'll go up with you." Li Yunshan said worriedly.

"No need, I can handle it by myself." Du Yan patted Li Yunshan on the shoulder and said, "Wait for a sound from inside later, you can go in through the door." , he alone is enough to settle the people inside.

Without waiting for Li Yunshan's reaction, Du Yan put his two guns in his waist and flew out close to the stone house. The rest of the people had to follow his orders and fought at the gate of the stone house.

Although the stone house is tall, the walls are not very smooth, and there are many protruding parts with edges and corners, which is much worse than the glass curtain walls of later generations. Therefore, even though there is no tool at hand, Du Yan still escaped from the back of the house. on the roof.But it was much more difficult to find the skylight in the back. The huge roof was already covered with snow, so he could only grope along the ridge of the roof.

"Boss, are we just waiting here?" The atmosphere in the dark room was very oppressive, and finally one of his subordinates couldn't hold it anymore, and said eagerly to Li Mantang: "The gunshots outside seem to be getting more intense. And it’s all coming for us.”

"Yeah, big brother, why don't we go from the back..." Li Manshan swallowed halfway through the words. Only his brothers knew about the back door of the stone house, and they couldn't disclose it to others unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Wait!" Li Mantang shook his head with a serious face, which was also due to his temperament, being too cautious.Now that the situation outside is unclear, running out rashly may be in line with the opponent's wishes. On the contrary, it is much safer to hide in this stone house. As long as the situation outside is clear at dawn, they will fight back.

"Wait until when, this is imminent." Li Manshan roared angrily: "I don't think this is as simple as Zhao Si's subordinates making trouble, it must be someone from outside attacking the mountain."

"Boom!" At this time, a person flew into the room from the roof, and happened to land behind Li Manshan.

"Who!" The people in the room suddenly became nervous, but it all happened too fast.

"Bang bang..." Even though his footing was not stable, Du Yan's shell gun rang out first. Anyway, the only ones who could move in the room were enemies, so there was nothing to worry about.

Li Yunshan who was outside heard the commotion inside, and rushed towards the gate. The two or three bandits guarding the gate were attracted by the gun battle in the house, and Li Yunshan, caught off guard, also took advantage of the situation to attack.Such a chaotic battle in the stone house under the dark night lasted for several minutes. This kind of chaotic battle was like a fish in water for Du Yan, who had been training in the field for a long time.

"Fifth brother, come out, there should be no one alive." After a gun battle, Du Yan confirmed that there was no one alive in the room except him and Li Yunshan.

"I was shot, right in front of you!" Li Yunshan was not so lucky. During the chaos, he was shot twice, one in his left arm and one in his right leg.

"Fifth brother, don't move, I'll go over right away." Du Yan took out the lighter in his arms and lightly lit it, and what came into view was a pile of dead bodies, and Li Yunshan was holding his right leg and half sitting on the ground in pain .

"Fortunately, it's just a skin injury, fifth brother, wait a moment." Du Yan said with a sigh of relief as he glanced at the wound in the light of the fire. The current situation is too late to help Li Yunshan treat the wound, so he must first confirm whether Li Mantang is inside.

Soon after getting Du Yan's signal, Wu Laosan and others walked in, looking at the dead bodies on the ground and the intact Du Yan, their faces were full of awe.

"Look, is Li Mantang in there?" Du Yan said directly without caring about anything else.

Wu Laosan turned over three corpses in a row, and then pointed to a slightly thin middle-aged man's corpse in the corner and said, "This is Li Mantang, don't let the bullet hit his forehead and die."

"It's fine if you die, it's fine if you die." Du Yan was also completely relieved at this moment, killing the big boss will make it easier for the younger brothers outside.

"Master Du, thank you for avenging Wu." Unprepared, Wu Chengzhi bowed deeply to Du Yan, who was treating Li Yunshan's wound, and said, "From now on, Wu weighs more than 100 catties. I'll leave it to you."

"Brother Angus, you're being polite. From now on, you can just call me Guanghua when you eat in the same pot." Du Yan returned the salute and said, "I'll leave the external affairs to you."

"Master Du, don't worry, brother Guanghua." Wu Laosan kicked Li Mantang's body and said, "With this thing, I believe the mountain will calm down soon."
