Republic of China 1927

() The subsequent battle was smoother than expected. After seeing Li Man’s cousin’s head being thrown out, and knowing that the mountain was surrounded (bluffing), the leaderless bandits abandoned their weapons and surrendered. In particular, Zhao Si's subordinates expressed their disdain and resentment towards the Li brothers when they saw Wu Laosan appearing in front of them, and they were willing to follow Wu Laosan to join the new owner.

Even so, Du Yan did not take it lightly. He had too few people at hand, only a dozen or so. To guard more than 100 captives, it was really not enough to control this huge mountain.In desperation, Du Yan ordered all the captives to be gathered in a large open space in the middle of the roof, and the firewood used by the bandits for the winter was lit all around. A reliable person, led by Wu Laosan with a big knife and a stick, is responsible for guarding the bandits in the open space.On the few commanding heights outside, Du Yan led the soldiers of the security regiment to control the situation in Taipinggu with guns. In this way, the bandits were in the open and the security regiment was in the dark, so any changes would be discovered quickly.

"Fourth Master, what shall we do?" The three people on the edge of the Guding were wrapping their coats and hiding under a large rock and shivering. One of the fat young men said to Han Laosi in the middle: "While they don't care Come on us, let's run!"

"Get out of your way! As long as we show our heads at this time, they will collapse us." Han Laosi slapped the fat man on the head and cursed. This guy Mantang can still figure it out, he knows who he is, he is respectful to himself, treats him with good wine and good food (the little girl last night is delicious and a young girl, but her temper is a little bit stronger, it's a pity that she is gone like this ) also prepared a heavy gift for the head of the family.It turns out that as long as the day breaks, I can return to the old village with a heavy gift. Who would have thought that there would be internal strife in Taipinggu at night, but fortunately, I was quick to take my brother and hide to the side, otherwise, who would care about him in the dark night? .

"Fourth Master, why don't we just go out like this." The thinner man among the three suggested, "Whoever occupies this hill should give us face."

"Well, let's wait until dawn." This is more in line with Han Laosi's thinking. With Wang Baichuan's current momentum inside and outside Yishan, no one has to give a little favor, but the situation has to stabilize before we can talk about it.

……

"Guanghua, what should we do next?" Li Yunshan was not seriously injured, but his arms and legs were wrapped in cloth, and he leaned against a wall and said anxiously, "We can't kill all these people!"

"Of course not, and I can't bear it. Except for a few vicious people these days, no one has a way out to be a bandit. Besides, the so-called Zheng fu army in this world is not even as good as some bandits." Du Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes and sighed Said: "Wait until dawn."

"What are you going to do at dawn? Are you going to take them all back?" Li Yunshan asked in bewilderment. There were too many things and people captured on the mountain, and it was impossible for them to get them back with their own hands.

"Deputy Commander Zhu and the others should arrive before dawn, and Laifu has already gone down the mountain." Du Yan said confidently, it is still possible for Zhu Yunfu to lead troops, and if he learned about the situation in Maowo Village, he should not be stupid there Wait, I will definitely search here and move forward.

While chatting with Li Yunshan, Du Yan paid attention to the situation of Guding.Fortunately, the roof remained stable until the sky turned white, and the bandits sat quietly in the open space to welcome the new sun and their unknown fate.

"Captain, we are late!" When the first ray of sunlight shot out from the distant horizon, Zhu Yunfu finally led the first and second squadrons of the security regiment to the Taiping Gu, far away. Looking at Du Yan with a tired face, Zhu Yunfu said apologetically.

"It's good if you come, it's good if you come!" Du Yan let out a long breath. The arrival of these eighty subordinates can be regarded as completely controlling Taipinggu. The prisoners waited for aftermath measures.As for the late arrival of the reinforcements, Du Yan didn't take it to heart at all. It was very difficult to gather two brigades overnight and drive them through overnight.

"Commander, are these people our captives?" Zhu Yunfu stared at the large crowd in the open space and asked with wide eyes. Dare to believe it, guessing that Du Yan and the others might seize a small hill by taking advantage of the chaos and eliminate a dozen or twenty or thirty bandits.

"Yunfu, this is Angkor Angkor, a newcomer to our security team." Du Yan did not answer directly, but introduced Wu Chengzhi who was beside him to Zhu Yunfu and said, "You bring the second squadron together with Angkor Angkor. Multiple prisoners interrogated and identified."

"Okay, what's the charter for the head?" Zhu Yunfu knew that it was not the time to exchange pleasantries, so he immediately got into the mood.Originally, he was still a bit unconvinced about Du Yan being the head of the security team, thinking that he was just relying on the great fortune of the Du family, but after more than ten days of contact, his thoughts have changed a lot. This Young Master Du is by no means a playboy. , whose talents and abilities are far superior to his own, and seeing this scene until today is completely overwhelmed.

"One by one, Li Mantang's cronies are divided into one group, the heinous ones are divided into one group, the rest who have no bad habits are divided into one group, and the rest are divided into one group." Du Yan said quickly, he has already made arrangements for these people. With a preliminary idea.Li Mantang's cronies and the rest of the heinous people can't stay. Most of the rest are villagers who have no choice but to go up the mountain. The manpower is not as good as the fake public aid to the private one.

"Eldest young master, no, Captain, what are we doing?" Yuan Si, the captain of the first squadron, said eagerly when Zhu Yunfu and Wu Laosan got busy leading the people.

"A squadron of ten people will search every room and every corner of Gushang!" Du Yan paused and said, "Be careful and pay attention to safety, there must be some bandits hiding In the dark, all the seized things are gathered in the stone house in front."

"Okay, okay!" Yuan Si said hurriedly with bright eyes in front of his eyes. It seems that the young master still trusts his own people the most and assigns him the most lucrative job.

"Ye Jun, Du Fei, you two led the brothers who went to the mountain last night to be in charge of supervision, and anyone who dares to hide property will be killed!" In front of Yuan Si, Du Yan ordered coldly again, if Wu Lao San mentioned He had just made a fortune in Taiping Gu, even if the entire security team was there, he would not attack Taiping Gu.After the battle last night, he only found two gold bars and more than 100 yuan beside Li Mantang's bed. Obviously, more money should not be found yet.

"Young master, don't worry, the first squadron is all our own family members, and absolutely no one dares to hide their secrets." Yuan Si hurriedly assured with a cold back. Fu said that dozens of people died at the gunpoint of the young master last night.

This time, Taipinggu, which was quiet in the middle of the night, became noisy again, the cries, cries, and sighs of the bandits who were taken to interrogate; the sounds of breaking doors, breaking, and searching for rooms; The sounds of gunshots, begging for mercy, and running from the bandits merged into a peculiar song of the Republic of China.After a careful search, there were indeed a few caught fish, which also caused a little damage to the first squadron. Three members were injured, and one of them was seriously injured.

At this moment, our Young Master Du and Captain Du are doing accounting work, leading Laifu to count and record the supplies that the No. [-] Squadron has cleared up from various places.

"Nainai, we have to set up a special military supply and logistics department under the security regiment when we go back." Du Yan, who was a little annoyed with counting money, cursed inwardly, but the establishment of this department will require a few more unarmed personnel to take money.In the past, he didn't know how expensive Chai Migui was if he was not in charge of the family, but now he is more and more sensitive to money in front of the Du family and the security team.

"Dayang three thousand seven hundred and thirty-five yuan, eighteen gold bars, opium, gold and silver, jade, etc..." Looking at the preliminary list of property in his hand, Du Yan finally showed a smile, and made a rough estimate of these The total value of the belongings should be more than 730 yuan, enough to cover the security team's expenses for three months, and there is still a small half of the Guding that has not been searched.

"Rifle 180, pistol 32, broadsword 31..." Except for the lack of bullets, Du Yan was quite satisfied with the weapons he seized. There are actually more than 40 08-type rifles in it, and the matching bullets are also considered abundant; while the pistols are relatively clear, basically they are Mauser shell guns, but there is actually a Luger P[-] among them. With these guns, the security team can finally It's done with one shot.

"56 hostages, including 28 young and middle-aged men, [-] women, [-] elderly people, and [-] children..." Compared with the bloody title of "meat ticket", Du Yan seems to prefer to call this person who just came from the cellar and cell. The people rescued from here are hostages, and for the bandits, this is also a property that can be realized. The value depends on the family status of these people, ranging from dozens to thousands.

"Laifu, ask Yuan Si to find out the situation of these arrested people. Young and strong men who are willing to go back by themselves will each be given a piece of travel expenses; women, old people, and children will find out where their homes are, and they will be sent after the cottage is cleaned up. People will escort them back.” The Chinese New Year is approaching, and putting these people back can restore laughter to dozens of families.

"Du Fei, have you searched the entire Guding?" Seeing Du Fei rushing in, Du Yan asked in surprise.

"Not yet, I just caught a strange guy and insisted on seeing you, the leader." Du Fei hurriedly said, "Would you like to meet?"

"Oh? Let him in!" Du Yan frowned and ordered.
