Langxi guerrilla company headquarters, company commander Zhao, instructor Wang, and four young guerrilla soldiers.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Li Yuan and Lao Luo came in, and everyone inside stood up. They all knew that the person Lao Luo was bringing should be the person in charge of escorting supplies in Changxing, so they all stood up and said hello.

Company Commander Zhao looked a little gloomy and cleared his throat: "Instructor, tell me, this is so fucking embarrassing."

Instructor Wang was silent for a moment and then cleared his throat like Captain Zhao and said: "The first thing, it's very embarrassing to talk about. As soon as we received your goods, for some unknown reason, we met James who was delivering supplies to the west.

The bandits and soldiers are all carrying things. Just in the middle of the night last night, these bandits detained all our soldiers escorting the supplies. Now the whereabouts of the supplies are unknown, and our intelligence agents are still collecting intelligence."

Company Commander Zhao took over the conversation: "There are quite a few soldiers in our company, but they are scattered in various places. We have sent correspondents to notify them, but the distance is quite far. It is too late to assemble now."

When Lao Luo heard the news, he was shocked: "When did you get the news?"

Instructor Wang: "As far as the news came back from our internal line when you called Captain Li, the information about the soldiers being detained is unknown. We only know that it happened near our station. In other words, if we didn't come out, then

The bandits' target may be our guerrilla headquarters."

Company Commander Zhao looked a little gloomy, cleared his throat, and said with a wry smile: "Captain Li, I asked Lao Luo to call you here early in the morning. I was originally going to see you off. We were just talking about giving you a drink. Now

The news has come, and I won’t hide it. These bandits have deceived us, and now we don’t have enough troops, so I want to ask Captain Li to join us in action this time.”

Everyone had gloomy faces, but Li Yuan was the only one who remained so calm: "I don't have a problem."

Captain Zhao carefully took out a map from his bag: "According to our people, the one who attacked us this time was the bandit leader Zhang Jiuru, but now we have a problem that is difficult to solve. This Zhang Jiuru was killed after the Japanese invaded Langxi for the first time.

He joined the Kuomintang and was made a guerrilla commander, but he himself was both a soldier and a bandit, and his main activities were in the Langxi, Guangde, and Gaochun areas."

Instructor Wang stood up and took over the words: "Although we are united to resist Japan, these bandits are not really resisting Japan. Instead, they use the name of resisting Japan to plunder money everywhere, oppress the people, run rampant in the countryside, and do all kinds of evil. The local squires also treated him.

They dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and the national army is very conniving with them. The reactionaries have come to surround us several times, and they are all accomplices."

"We have long wanted to get rid of this scourge, but they have been involved with the national army for a long time. Their military strength is about the same as ours. If we really fight, our soldiers lack weapons and there is nothing we can do against them."

Company Commander Zhao: "This time the Japs occupied Langxi again, and the Nationalist army ran away without firing a few shots. Thousands of civilians were massacred by the Japs. This time they bullied us again. This is another organizational effort.

We have obtained supplies, so we must find a way to get them back."

Li Yuan didn't talk nonsense: "You do the intelligence work, and we do the attack."

Company Commander Zhao: "No, no, no, what can we do? We should attack together. I have rich experience in this battle. You just need to be responsible and cooperate. When your company commander passed by, he passed through our defense zone."

Company Commander Zhao didn't quite believe in the capabilities of the Changxing Independent Company. What he didn't know was that Changxing had been independent for less than a month, and its combat effectiveness had already been greatly reduced.

Li Yuan didn't insist. Judging from his position, Company Commander Zhao had a high position: "It's okay."

The spring air carried the fragrance of the bamboo forest. The Langxi guerrillas did an excellent job in the local area. Although they were robbed of supplies and people by this group of semi-bandits, they still had a clear picture of the bandits' movements.

After entering the bamboo forest on the top of the mountain, Li Yuan took a sip of water, closed the lid of the kettle, and looked up at the gloomy sky through the gaps in the bamboo forest above his head.

Li Yuan asked Zhao Dashan to take out the prisoner Cao Changjing who had just been captured a few days ago from his backpack.

I began to slowly observe the platform on the mountainside. The platform occupies a very large area and is backed by a steep slope about 20 meters high. There are three rows of houses, with more than ten houses in each row. There is a small stream on the back mountain.

The bandit's village flows to the north, and the chaos radiates outward.

There is a square on the north side of the alley, with people constantly coming and going. Li Yuan carefully counted the number of people coming out of the room. No one came in or out of the house in the corner, indicating that the guerrilla fighters should be detained in that house, or

That's the bandit's warehouse.

Company Commander Zhao was a little surprised that Li Yuan actually had a telescope, and wanted to borrow it for use, but was embarrassed. At this moment, Li Yuan took the initiative to hand over the telescope, and Company Commander Zhao was not polite. He also had one of this thing before, and it was destroyed by the reactionaries.

It broke when it was broken.

What Li Yuan didn't expect was that the man named Wang Xiaoer was also following behind the instructor. This boy was only twelve years old, but he actually followed him to the battlefield and was still making mischief in the morning. The contrast was a bit big.

.

"Company Commander Zhao, look across the way. There are more than forty houses in total. I counted, and there are about six people in each house. The house in the middle should be where the bandit leader lives. No one has come out until now. According to the bandits'

According to custom, bandit leaders usually live in the house in the middle against the mountain." Li Yuan said in a low voice.

"That's it. We've done reconnaissance in this place, and insiders say there are more than a hundred of them, and now they all have guns. Many of the guns should belong to our soldiers." Company Commander Zhao gritted his teeth when he said this.

Li Yuan continued: "The house to the north is always being watched, and no one is going outside. It should be the bandit's warehouse, or our comrades may also be detained there."

"Wang Xiaoer, pretend to be passing by for a while and check from behind the mountain to see if there is anyone on the mountain behind the bandits."

This kid also has his uses. As soon as Company Commander Zhao finished speaking, Wang Xiaoer got up from the ground and ran towards the mountain behind.

Zhang Jiuru had planned this time to rob the guerrillas. He had received a signal from the reactionaries. They were all natives of his hometown and had a general understanding of the strength of both parties. This time he also received news that the main force of the guerrillas had gone east, perhaps because he was afraid that the Japanese would come and escape.

So he gathered his troops and rushed to the guerrilla camp overnight, preparing to take away the guerrillas' lair.

Zhang Jiuru, a bandit who does all kinds of evil, has long wanted to attack the guerrillas. However, although the guerrillas are small in number, they are willing to fight for their lives and usually do not dare to offend them. Now he got a promise from a defeated national army officer in Langxi.

After the matter was completed, I sent him ten rifles, but in the middle of the night I went there and only

I captured a few aunties who were left behind. Just when I was feeling unlucky, I encountered guerrilla fighters who were going to the northwest to deliver supplies. They were originally planning to lay an ambush, but it turned out that these thirty or so people were carrying things on their backs and didn't even take off their guns.

As soon as they could pull the bolt of the gun, the bandits held them at gunpoint and surrendered their guns.

I got thirty guns at once. Although I knew it was an old sleeve, it was still much better than holding a knife.
