Bandit Camp

Chapter 1 The Eve of the Great War
In the 29th year of the Republic of China, Qingming, Zishi.

Going out of the east gate of Xuzhou City, about a hundred miles to the east and north, there is a town called Jiajiawang.About [-] miles southeast from Jiajiawang, there is a mountain range. It is said that Erlang God missed it when he drove the mountain into the sea, so it is called Erlang Mountain.This Erlang Mountain does not have the tendency to reach the sky, but there are more than a hundred mountains connected end to end, but it is also majestic.

It is the best place for the heroes of the green forest to gather in the rivers and lakes.

For more than a hundred years, the gangs of green forest bandits in Erlang Mountain have risen and fallen, and even today, there are no less than [-] gangs.Among them, the bandit gang with the newspaper name "Loyalty Hall" is the leader.

The leader of the Loyalty Hall was named Ye Tufei, and three years ago he led the thirteen arhats of the Loyalty Hall to set up a flag on the mountain. In just one year, he swept across the entire Erlang Mountain, and finally won the honorary title of Ye Liuye, a hero from all walks of life.

At this moment, Ye Tufei, who is honored as Ye Liuye, is sitting on his large and comfortable grand master's chair, staring at the box of gold bars in front of him, his eyes are blurred, and he seems a little crazy.

The person who presented this box of gold bars was a Japanese named Takeshita Ne.

Takeshita Gen is the combat staff officer of the Koizumi Advance Team under the command of the Japanese Army's ace division, Ji Gu Division. This visit was commissioned by Captain Masao Koizumi of the Advance Team to persuade Ye Tufei to see the situation clearly and cooperate with the Imperial Army.

After presenting the gold bars, Takeshita began his lobbying.

"Ye Liuye, you Chinese have a good saying that those who know current affairs are heroes. My humble opinion is that you, Liuye, are the best of all heroes. You must be able to discern the situation. The imperial army of Japan is invincible. For the army, whether you are a friend of the imperial army or an enemy of the imperial army, this is very important to you and your Zhongyitang. Doesn’t China still have a saying, called, called.” Takeshitagen said excitedly , I forgot the word for a moment.

"Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish!" Ye Tufei leisurely reminded Takeshita Gen in time, but his eyes did not move half a millimeter from the gold bar.

"Yes, that's the sentence. Liu Ye, you think, after the imperial army occupied Xuzhou, they needed the help of friends. Without the help of Chinese friends, it would be difficult to realize the ideals of the Communist Party. At that time, you, Liu Ye , as well as the brothers from the Zhongyi Hall, they will all have the opportunity to show their ambitions and become members of the upper class." Takeshita Gen talked endlessly.

Ye Tufei's eyes were still fixed on the image of gold, and he interrupted Takeshita leisurely, and said, "You said your name is Takeshita Gen? Are you a pure Japanese?"

"Yes, Sixth Lord Ye, under Takeshitagen, absolutely pure Yamato bloodline." Takeshitagen didn't understand Ye Tufei's intention, and he hesitated a little in his answer.

Ye Tufei finally shifted his gaze away from the box of gold bars, and said, "I never thought that Mr. Takeshita's Chinese is so good."

"Back to Master Ye, Takeshita has lived in China for 18 years, which is longer than I have lived in Japan!" Takeshita recalled his life with some emotion.

Ye Tufei leaned forward slightly, fixed his gaze on Takeshita Gen's eyes, and only when he stared at Takeshita Gen felt uncomfortable and seemed unable to sit still, did he speak again: "I understand what Mr. I thank you. You are right! Faced with your machine guns and artillery, we gangsters will never be able to cope."

Takeshita showed a smile, pushed the box of gold bars on the table towards Ye Tufei, and said, "Zhongzuo Koizumi entrusted me to tell Master Ye Liu that after the matter is completed, he will definitely visit Ye Liu himself. Whether you are willing to stay in Erlang Mountain, or abandon the mountain and enter the city, everything is left to Ye Liuye's choice."

Ye Tufei smiled slightly and said, "Then what if the matter fails?"

Takeshita was taken aback for a moment, and was about to ask Ye Tufei the meaning of his words, but was interrupted by a hasty knock on the door.

Ye Tufei frowned, but finally accepted the people outside the door.

The brother who was in charge of guarding the door opened the door and leaned halfway in, and reported to Ye Tufei: "Master Liu, Boss Jin from the bottom of the mountain is here again, saying he has something important to report."

Ye Tufei glanced at Takeshita Gen, and Takeshita Gen accompanied him with an expression of ignorance.

"Let him in!" Ye Tufei thought for a moment, then agreed.

Boss Jin walked into the room and saw that Takeshita Gen was still there, he hesitated for a moment, then walked to Ye Tufei's side, leaned over and whispered in Ye Tufei's ear.

Ye Tufei listened, his eyebrows gradually furrowed in the middle, and his expression gradually became serious.In the end, he said helplessly to Boss Jin: "These friends who carry guns and eat can't afford to offend, so let him come up."

When Boss Jin left, Takeshita stood up politely, and tentatively said: "Master Ye Liu has a distinguished guest, and it is inconvenient for Takeshita to stay for a long time, so I will leave now!"

Ye Tufei sighed, shook his head, and said, "Don't you want to ask, what kind of person is this friend who came to disturb you in the middle of the night?"

Takeshita Gen replied awe-inspiringly: "If Sixth Master Ye doesn't want to tell, Zhuxia will definitely not dare to ask. If Sixth Master Ye is willing to tell, Zhuxia is here to listen."

Ye Tufei yawned and stretched, his movements were extremely exaggerated. "Boss Jin said that Zhang Luohui, the acting head of the 258th Regiment of the National Army, must have the same purpose as Mr. Takeshita when he asked to see him!"

Takeshitagen's heart tightened. Although he had expected this result, Ye Tufei's personal confession still made him nervous. He didn't know what decision Ye Tufei would make.

"Master Ye Liu is frank, and Takeshita is very grateful, but..."

Ye Tufei put his hand on the box of gold bars, and said: "If I agree to Mr. Takeshita, I'm afraid that I will be scolded by the green forest in the future, saying that I, Ye Tufei, are unfaithful. The strength of your army's countermeasures, I'm afraid it will end in a wilderness with corpses."

Ye Tufei looked at Takeshita Gen, then at the box of gold bars, sighed, and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Takeshita for his kindness!"

Takeshitagen guessed what Ye Tufei was thinking at this time, and said with a smile: "Ye Liuye can turn a blind eye, the fact that the imperial army used Erlang Mountain never happened, or Liuye, you have never have no idea!"

Ye Tufei showed a knowing smile, and said: "Mr. Takeshita is smart enough! Well, I promise you, before four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the passage in the Erlang Mountain Valley will be free and open, and no one needs to say hello to me."

After a short pause, Ye Tufei leaned forward, leaned towards Takeshita Gen, and said, "However, after four o'clock, there is no need to talk about it! Mr. Takeshita, I think this time is enough for you!"

Takeshita Gen secretly rejoiced, and quickly said: "Enough, enough! Thank you Liuye Ye for his understanding of righteousness. Takeshita will leave now. I will tell His Excellency Koizumi Zhongzuo this good news as soon as possible."

Ye Tufei smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Takeshita, don't you want to see how I replied to the head of the group surnamed Zhang?"

Just as he was talking, Boss Jin's voice came from outside the door: "Master Zhang, he's here!"

Ye Tufei gave Takeshita a bow, and said: "Then I will wrong Mr. Takeshita, please move to the back room for now, and leave soon after I finish meeting with Captain Zhang."

Takeshita Gen smiled and bowed to Ye Tufei, and went to the back room.

Here, Ye Tufei said loudly to the door: "I invite Captain Zhang to drive!"

Six hours ago, when the troops were just about to have dinner, Zhang Luohui was only a deputy battalion commander of the 258th Regiment of the National Army.After the brothers had dinner and the emergency assembly number was blew in the regiment, he changed himself and became the head of the 258th regiment. Although the head of the regiment had the word agent before, the badge on his shoulder was full of good looks. school rank.

This change surprised the brothers in the regiment.

However, Zhang Luohui, who was promoted to the third level, didn't feel excited at all. Instead, he had a mournful face, like a patient who just learned that he was terminally ill.

This is no wonder Zhang Luohui.

Just as he was picking up the bowl and preparing to eat, the orderly from the regiment headquarters ran over to him in a panic and said, "Sir! Someone from the Commander's Headquarters of the Fifth War Zone has come and said they want to see you."

Zhang Luohui was taken aback, and quickly thought about whether he had violated some discipline. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think of anything, and asked the orderly in a daze: "Then why did the chief of the headquarters say he wanted to see me?"

The orderly didn't answer Zhang Luosheng, but kept urging him to hurry up and hurry up.

After arriving at the regiment headquarters, the anxious Zhang Luohui saluted the officer, then sat down in fear and sat down according to the officer's wishes, and then heard the officer's appointment: "Well, very good, from now on, you, What's your name? By the way, Zhang Luohui, from now on you are the acting head of the 258th Regiment, awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel."

The pie in the sky hit him on the head, besides the surprise, it was still a surprise.

Zhang Luohui immediately jumped out of the panic just now, and very neatly saluted the officer again.

However, Zhang Luohui forgot that if a pie falling from the sky hits his head, even if he can't die, his head will be smashed.

"Well, Commander Zhang, as you know, the battle of Taierzhuang has come to a decisive moment. The Japanese army has become exhausted, and our army is deploying a full-scale counterattack. The Japanese army made a dangerous move in order to seek a chance to turn defeat into victory. Yesterday, they organized a rapid assault force of about 700 people. They broke away from the Taierzhuang battlefield and detoured to the east bank of the Yishui River in an attempt to pass through my defensive blind spot and go straight to our support assembly point on the Taierzhuang battlefield-Jiajiawang Town. I am now ordering your troops to set out immediately to stop the Japanese army on the front line of Erlang Mountain, and must stop the enemy for 24 hours."

Zhang Luohui suddenly fell from the clouds.

This is simply a mission to die!

The 700-strong Japanese army, even if the 258th regiment had full strength, could not compete, not to mention that after the current 258th regiment was withdrawn from the front line, there were only less than one battalion of brothers left.

However.Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, and Zhang Luohui accepted the task unconditionally.
