Mei Yuande, the county magistrate of Jimo County, has been restless since he was sent to a knife letter last night, worried about what was going to happen in the letter. While he was thinking about it, Bian Shikui, a company commander of the Fifth Division of the Shandong Army who was stationed in the county, walked in.

When Mei Yuande saw him coming in, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Have the news confirmed?"

"Through chatting with his subordinates, I found that this Chang Pan had really had something wrong these days. They said in their guard that the bandits came, and that the Japanese were supporting him behind Sun Baiwan, so we couldn't mess with him." Bian Shikui said with a heavy face.

"This bastard is sucking inside and outside!" Mei Yuande cursed with gritted teeth and then asked again: "Are we sure?"

"If I rely solely on my 1000 people, I may not be able to take the blame. The letter said that nearly a thousand bandits were attacking. I think it would be better to summon the rich gentry and family in the city to fight together. Nowadays, which wealthy family does not hide a few guns in their homes? Besides, everyone knows the virtues of Sun Baiwan's bandits. If they really let them enter Jimo City, those wealthy families will suffer." Bian Shikui suggested.

Mei Yuande nodded and said, "That's all we can do."

...

September 23rd is the third day of the eighth lunar month. On that night, except for a short period of time after dinner, there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky to the west, the sky was full of stars.

In the middle of the night, more than 100 people including Zhao Zhenzhong and more than 100 people were on their own sailboats and fishing boats borrowed from Lin Haishan to dock on the sea southeast of Wanggezhuang. A squad of troops were left to guard the ships, and the remaining more than 100 people integrated into the night.

Not long after lurking outside the bandits' nest in Wanggezhuang, I saw a group of bandits walking out. In terms of number, there were about 850 people. According to the reconnaissance results of the previous two days, Zhao Zhenzhong estimated that there were less than 100 bandits left in the bandits' nest.

After calming down the noise in the bandit nest, I waited for another hour and a half. As the bandits who were left behind were sleeping, Zhao Zhenzhong lowered his voice and said to the dozen team members around him: "Touch in quietly and get rid of the remaining bandits, don't make a sound or shoot."

Sun Baiwan and his bandits were used to rampant in this area. They were never the only ones who robbed others. No one dared to make trouble for them. Oh, except for the more than 20 people who were inexplicably missing two years ago. Tonight, Boss Sun led the team to attack Jimo City. The remaining bandits in the house were left. After the large group of people left, they all went back to continue to sleep. After sleeping, they never woke up again.

After touching it at about 1:30 in the morning, Zhao Zhenzhong and others ended the killing in more than half an hour. The remaining 86 bandits all met the King of Hell in their dreams.

After sending the signal, hundreds of people waiting outside came in and lighted up the lights to search the entire bandit nest. The team members saw more than 80 bandits lying in pools of blood. Many of them looked pale, and some even ran to the side to vomit.

"Don't be stunned, search quickly!" Zhao Zhenzhong shouted in a low voice.

After careful search, Zhao Zhenzhong and others found that the harvest was quite good. There were 600 brand new Japanese Type 38 rifles, 340 used Hanyang-made rifles, 86 Mauser pistols, several bullets of various types, 3,400 kilograms of opium, the total amount of Yangheyang bank bills was more than 85,000, 200 gold bars, and a Japanese gold bank promissory note of 200,000 kilograms of flour. In addition, there were 100 bags of flour in 50 kilograms, 40 bags of rice in 100 kilograms, about 6,000 kilograms of wheat, and about 8,000 kilograms of corn.

Seeing so many supplies, the team members' eyes were a little straightened. Li Yunhai exclaimed: "My goodness! Why are these bandits so rich? There are so many weapons? Is this fucking bandits still a bandit?"

"It's nothing special. Look at these new Japanese guns and such a large amount of Japanese bank bills, you will know that these bandits are colluding with the Japanese." Zhao Zhenzhong didn't care and immediately ordered, "Look for any shipments, transport the property, guns and ammunition first, and then talk about the food later."

"There is a rubber wheel cart over there, but now all the mules and horses have been taken away by bandits, and there are no ones who pull the cart." Jiang Yishan said.

"If there are no mules and horses, we will use people to pull them! These guns and boxes are placed directly in the car, and each person will bring a few of them. Leave a shift to guard the rest, and move the rest faster." Zhao Zhenzhong ordered.

After several round trips, all the money, weapons, ammunition, food and so on in the bandit's nest were wiped out.

Standing by the sea, Zhao Zhenzhong said to Li Yunhai: "You lead three platoons to take the boat back first. Do not start the diesel engine on the road to avoid exposing the target. After returning, you must hide all the supplies before dawn. The team members try to return to the mountains before dawn."

"Then what are you doing?" Li Yunhai asked.

"I will take the reconnaissance squad to add some color to Sun Baiwan." Zhao Zhenzhong saw that Li Yunhai was about to stop him, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we have few people and small goals, and we have obtained so many weapons and ammunition, which is enough for them to drink a pot. Besides, you don't know my skills, just those bandits can't keep us."

Li Yunhai knew that he couldn't persuade him, and understood that Zhao Zhenzhong's ability was not something he could estimate, so he had to smile bitterly and reminded: "Then you must be careful! If your uncle makes a mistake, my grandfather can peel me off."

After the two teams separated, Zhao Zhenzhong led 16 people to speed up and head towards Jimo City.

Just after Zhao Zhenzhong arrived outside Jimo City for an hour to rest, the bandits hidden near the city gate began to operate.

On September 24, 1922, in the early morning, more than 800 bandits lurking outside Jimo City, under the command of the bandit leader Sun Baiwan, piled up firewood and set fire to the east and south gates. Fires suddenly burst into flames and gunfire. The bandits shouted at the top of their lungs, demanding that the officers and soldiers guarding the city surrender.

At this time, there were only regular troops and guards of the 5th Division of the Shandong Army stationed in Jimo City. County Magistrate Mei Yuande was unmoved to face Pan Changyou's persuasion, but instead imprisoned him through the garrison. Afterwards, Mei Yuande and the garrison commander Bian Shikui led the soldiers and civilians to resist. The wealthy families and gentry in the city knew what the result of Sun Baiwan waiting for his family after breaking the city was, and they all responded to Mei Yuande's call and acted spontaneously. First, they used a large amount of earth and stone to block the city gate holes and reinforce them, and then transported many huge rocks with edges and angles to the top of the city and threw them to the bandits who were siegeing the city. Several bandits were instantly killed by the stones flying in the moat.

The guns and bullets were raining, and the stones fell, and the injuries and casualties of the Sun-Ma bandits gradually increased. At this time, Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Hao and others looked for favorable terrain and began to kill the bandits with the light of burning firewood near the city gate.

Unlike others, after Zhao Zhenzhong and Zhou Hao found a seat, they took out infrared night vision instruments from the backpack they carried with them and put them on, making them even more comfortable to snipe the bandits. However, it is a pity that Zhao Zhenzhong and others did not know Sun Baiwan and his bandit leader, and they could not snipe the bandit leader.

The gunshots of Zhao Zhenzhong and others were hidden among the scattered guns of a group of bandits outside the city. No one noticed that there was a powerful force to harvest the lives of bandits outside the city.

When the sky was about to dawn, Zhao Zhenzhong and others were already walking on the way back, and gunfire was still ringing near Jimo City in the distance. However, the group was not worried about the situation in Jimo City. After more than ten of their cold guns, Zhao Zhenzhong believed that Sun Baiwan would increase the losses of at least one hundred more people.

At nearly eight o'clock in the morning, Sun Baiwan found that more than 150 people under his command were lying on the ground and remained motionless. He was shocked by the strength of the defenders in the city. But after careful inspection, he found that most of the dead were killed by gunfires outside the city, and nearly half of them were shot in the head.

Just as Sun Baiwan was suspicious and wondering which leader could not get along with him, several bandits staggered and ran over: "Commander, it's not good. My family was robbed!"

"What? What's going on? Explain it clearly!" Sun Baiwan asked sternly.

"We just sent a few injured brothers back first. But when we went back, we saw that the more than 80 brothers in the house were killed." A bandit said with a pale face.

"Why didn't there be any movement after more than 80 people were killed?" Sun Baiwan was still suspicious.

"I was killed by someone while I was sleeping, and my family was looted." The bandits still felt scared and replied with a sad face.

"Remove! All of them are damn it!" Sun Baiwan thought about the guns and ammunition that the Japanese had just given him, the bank bills of 200,000 yuan that had not yet been heated, and most of the money he had plundered in the past few years were wiped out. He was so heartbroken that he was yelling at the remaining bandits under his command.

When Sun Baiwan returned to the bandit's nest, he felt cold when he saw it: It was so damn cruel! He moved so cleanly, not leaving any behind!

"Commander, there were words on the wall over there just now, look at it." A bandit reminded carefully.

"This is the end of being a lackey for the Japanese!" Sun Baiwan looked at the big words written in blood on one side of the wall, and was furious. He grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground.

"Did you find out who did it?" Sun Baiwan was so angry.

"From the ruts of the cart, they transported their things to the beach." Ma Wenlong, the second leader, analyzed, "Although there are Ma San's snares nearby on Tianheng Island, there are nearly a thousand others, but they do things so neatly and neatly. Ma San doesn't have the ability to do this. Besides, our spy on Ma San's side has never heard of any actions that they will do during this period of time."

"It's impossible that they suddenly appeared?" Sun Baiwan said angrily.

"It's very likely that I'll tell my elder brother that this is a band of bandits with a small number of people but strong strength. Maybe they've been staring at us secretly for a day or two. Otherwise, when most of our troops attack the county town and the side is empty?"

After listening to Ma Wenlong's analysis, Sun Baiwan felt a little cold. He had been staring at him for a long time, but he and others were unaware of it. He didn't even know who the other party was and how many people there were. He suppressed his confusion in his heart, and Sun Baiwan and his men began to think about his current way out.

A few days later, the news spread. Sun Baiwan led his troops to besiege Jimo City. Under the resolute and decisive command of the county magistrate and the company commander of the garrison, the military and civilians of Jimo rose up to fight. In this battle, a total of 156 bandits under Sun Baiwan were killed and 3 were captured alive. Pan Changyou, who acted as a traitor, was also dismissed from office and law.
