Chapter 96: Establishing Prestige

Without waiting for An Yi's order, Huzi ran out of the main hall and blew the assembly whistle. All 202 brothers quickly got up, and the team was completed in less than a minute.

Accompanied by the anxious Lao Zeng and his wife, An Yi came to the yard. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky just after the Lantern Festival, his face sank, and he scanned the two hundred or so panicked officers and soldiers with sharp eyes:

"Brothers, we are late. The stragglers of the Zhili warlords have fled to Shuanggang Village, five kilometers to the north. They are harming our kind brothers and sisters and robbing the villagers of their meager belongings and food. Brothers, as revolutionary soldiers,

, what should we do? Should we just clean up the snow in front of our house and sit back and watch these people do evil?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

More than two hundred brothers roared in unison as usual, and dozens of brothers from Hunan almost had fire in their eyes.

"Okay! Show us your blood!"

An Yi yelled, and then decisively ordered: "The platoon will follow Huzi immediately and must arrive at Shuanggang Village within forty minutes. The brothers who came from Shuanggang Village to report the news will assist you. The specific actions will be fully commanded by Huzi.

,Set off!"

"yes!"

Huzi and a platoon of forty brothers answered loudly. This elite battalion, composed of the original three companies and five platoons, took the lead and ran out of the yard and immediately accelerated towards the north.

Running next to Huzi was Zeng Changgeng, a seventeen-year-old boy from Shuanggang Village who came to report the news. Although he was a little tired after running for more than ten miles, he was worried about the lives of his parents and fellow villagers, and his potential inspired him to run faster than Huzi.

Everyone is fast.

The strong fighting spirit displayed by the first platoon greatly stimulated all the brothers. The second and third platoons, led by company deputy Chen Kan, quickly followed up. Only more than 80 officers and soldiers of the second company were still standing in the yard, watching anxiously.

An Yi, waiting for his next order.

An Yi walked to Old Zeng and his wife and comforted in a low voice: "Uncle Zeng, uncle and aunt, please don't be anxious. My brothers will be able to arrive at Shuanggang in half an hour at most. When Chang Geng came to report the news, the bandits had just arrived.

Entering the village, these people were chased and driven by the revolutionary army. They were tired and hungry. They must be eating at the moment, otherwise they would not have the strength to do evil. My nephew will take the remaining brothers and rush there now...Uncle Zeng, you'd better get the people in the village

The young men organized themselves and rushed over. It is always better to have more people. My nephew will set off now and will go all out to rescue my eldest sister, second sister and fellow villagers who have never met before. Don't worry!"

"My dear nephew, please be careful along the way. I will gather the troops and rush over..."

The bright moonlight illuminated the rugged mountain road like frost. An Yi led the brothers to rush north, less than two kilometers away. The physical fitness of the brothers was fully demonstrated. More than twenty brothers from the original third company followed An Yi closely.

Behind Yi, including the thin Dong Yazi, still maintained the speed at which they started. The other fifty brothers from the original No. 1 and No. 2 companies were walking heavily and had reached their limit. Their speed was getting slower and slower, and they gradually fell behind.

to the back.

An Yi ordered the company deputy Cai Guangqing to lead the brothers to continue forward, stop and wait until more than fifty brothers behind him caught up. An Yi whispered a few words to the instructor Mu Zhuiyi who was coming up, and then he and Dong Yazi struggled to catch up with the brothers in front.

.

Mu Zhuiyi felt ashamed and anxious. He looked around, broke off a branch from the roadside, rushed to the back of the team in a few steps, roared angrily, and whipped the brother who fell at the end. He only heard a few screams, and the whole

The team seemed to suddenly gain strength. All the brothers rushed forward desperately, and after turning three turns, they actually caught up with the team in front.

Lu Xiong, the platoon leader, stopped An Yi at the mouth about 800 meters away from Shuanggang: "Deputy battalion commander, the village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one entrance at the east end. Company Commander Hu and Tietou quietly killed the two sentries at the entrance of the village. They have already

He led the brothers into the village. The brothers in the second and third platoons were occupying the favorable terrain in the north and south of the village. There were about 140 enemies, all of whom were eating and drinking on the large sun terrace in the village. Two heavy machine guns and seven

The light machine gun is still on the side, and the village and the surrounding commanding heights are undefended. It seems that all the men, women, and children in the village have been gathered on the big sun terrace to serve them food and drink. Company Commander Hu asked you to lead the brothers to rush in directly from the entrance of the village, and with three gunshots as the signal,

On the trumpet, we and three platoons of brothers from a company surrounded us from three sides. With a sudden lightning strike, not a single one of these bandits can escape!"

"Beautiful! What a great job with the beard!"

An Yi turned around and called Cai Guangqing and Mu Suiyi: "You two lead the Sixth Platoon to block the entrance to the village and advance steadily. Never let an enemy escape! Fourth Platoon and Five Platoon cheer up and follow me!"

"yes!"

An Yi pulled out his shell gun and took the lead. Together with Lu Xiong, he led more than fifty panting brothers to the village entrance at full speed. After turning two huts, he saw a blazing bonfire, a smoky sunbathing terrace, and the bearded man lurking in the darkness at the west end.

Seeing An Yi leading his team to charge, he raised his gun and fired three times. More than 130 brothers from three platoons shouted in unison and rushed into Shaping from three directions. In the blink of an eye, they killed more than a hundred panicked soldiers.

Surrounded in the middle.

The enemy lieutenant colonel with a beard and fierce eyes at the main table on the east side pulled out his pistol in panic, hugged the pregnant woman next to him who was forced to serve the wine, pressed the gun against the temple of the pregnant woman, and shouted loudly:

"Whoever dares to touch a hair of my head will take this bitch as his back."

The brothers had never experienced anything like this, and they all dared not act rashly with their guns in hand. When the leaders around the enemy chief saw that the boss had succeeded, they also pulled out their shell guns and pointed them in all directions. The whole Shaping suddenly became silent, and only the occasional sound could be heard.

The sounds of children crying and the crackling of the campfire.

An Yi gestured slightly to the bearded man who was more than ten meters across. He took a few steps forward and stared at the bearded enemy chief with a smile: "Brother, do you have anything to discuss? I am the major of the second division of the first army of the National Revolutionary Army.

The battalion deputy, my surname is An, this time I was ordered to lead five hundred brothers into the mountains to suppress the bandits. The duty is very urgent! Judging from my accent, I am from Xiaogan, Hubei, right? I wonder what I call you?"

The enemy chief was slightly startled, and saw clearly the five machine guns set up on the roofs on three sides. He was quite wary: "Hmph, you don't care what I call you. If you are sensible, hurry up and get your troops out of the way. I won't embarrass the villagers here."

, as long as you take a few people to a safe place, you will let them back."

An Yi seemed to have made a lot of determination, and then nodded: "Okay, you and I are both soldiers. I hope you will not insult the reputation of soldiers. I will ask my people to get out of the way. A man, speak your mind."

That’s right!”

After An Yi finished speaking, he slowly backed away, put away his shell gun, and turned around to signal the brothers behind him to disperse.

Huzi saw An Yi's quiet gesture and waved to the brothers to retreat. Seeing this, the enemy chief ordered each of the leaders around him to grab a girl for protection, and then loudly ordered the frightened brothers around him to quickly pick up their weapons.

The machine gun, while holding the young pregnant woman's neck tightly, looked around and shouted, and the muzzle of the shell gun in his hand unknowingly left the pregnant woman's head and pointed into the air.

How could An Yi, who had been observing the movements of the enemy chief with the corner of his eye, let go of this opportunity?

Soon after, An Yi suddenly turned around, raised his hand and fired a gun. After the gunshot, he immediately rushed forward and hugged the enemy chief who was shot in the heart before he fell.

The pregnant woman who fell down put the smoking muzzle of the gun against the head of the other leader. She stared coldly at the trembling captain who pointed the gun at his chest and shouted loudly:

"If you have the guts, give me a shot... Don't you dare? Why don't you fucking shoot——"

With a "boom" sound, the enemy captain threw away his shell gun and knelt on the ground: "Forgive me, sir. I have no choice... I have mercy on you, sir..."

Hu Xiu raised his hand and shot to death an officer who was aiming at An Yi with two shots. Seeing this, the brothers all rushed towards the enemy in the circle. An enemy major who was stubbornly resisting just raised his gun, and Lu was rushed in front of him.

Yuichi broke his neck with his punch, making a crisp "click" sound. The remaining enemies were so frightened that they knelt down one after another and were disarmed amidst bursts of roars. More than 300 villagers from the surrounding area also gathered around and shouted.

Female, her voice is sad.

"Sir, this is my eldest sister..."

Zeng Changgeng, who called the police and led the way, ran to An Yi, took the unconscious pregnant woman from An Yi's arms, sat on the ground and shouted loudly: "Sister, eldest sister, wake up..."

The pregnant woman's husband, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face, also ran over, knelt beside his wife and cried out miserably.

An Yi looked at the torn collar and bruised chest of the pregnant woman, shook his head sadly, walked to Huzi and gave some instructions in a low voice, Huzi nodded and sent a row of brothers out of the village to guard, and walked with An Yi

In front of a crowd of more than 130 prisoners kneeling, seven other officers were tied up and thrown in front of the crowd.

"You don't have to kneel, just sit down!"

An Yi ordered kindly. Seeing that the prisoners were hesitant and hesitated for a moment, they all changed to a sitting position. An Yi nodded with satisfaction and walked to the seven officers who were firmly tied up: "Who among you is the leader... I don't want to say

?good!"

An Yi turned around and walked to the stone mill in the middle of the sun flat. He stepped up and said loudly to the villagers in the field: "Folks, we are the bandit suppression unit of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. We are under the control of Uncle Zeng, a gentry in Qingxi Village.

Entrusted by us, we urgently came to rescue the villagers who were tortured by the bandits! Fortunately, we arrived in time and did not let this group of bandits continue to do evil. Next, the villagers are invited to identify who among these bandits is the most vicious and who is the most bullying.

, Today, more than two hundred brothers and I will make the decision for the villagers! Hey, hey... wait, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was boiling. Almost all the angry villagers rushed towards the prisoners who were heavily guarded, especially the seven officers who had committed many evil deeds. The villagers swarmed up and surrounded them layer after layer. They cried and cursed loudly.

One piece, countless feet and densely packed fists fell on the seven criminals.

Had it not been for the efforts of the brothers who had received the secret order from Hu Hu to stop them, these seven kidnapped little leaders would have been beaten to death by a group of people.

After finally trying to persuade the agitated villagers, Lao Zeng hurriedly led nearly a hundred young people from Qingxi. Under the guidance of the village elder, he saw his son-in-law who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face and his daughter who had woken up. He knew that the pregnant elder

After her daughter was fine, she felt relieved and pulled her second daughter who ran to her side. The second son-in-law burst into tears. He comforted his daughter with a few words and then came to An Yi with a group of crying village elders:

"My dear nephew, how can I thank you? Why should I repay you for such a great kindness? Hundreds of fellow villagers from my two villages..."

An Yi quickly jumped off the stone mill and supported the tearful old Zeng: "Uncle Zeng, it's okay, just fine! How about you and the elders in the village advise the villagers and let your nephew and brothers handle the matter?

?”

"Okay, okay! Everything will follow my nephew's arrangement."

The village elder advised the villagers to stay back. An Yi and Huzi whispered a few words, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, they strode to the front of more than a hundred captive soldiers:

"Brothers, I know that like us, most of you are from poor backgrounds. It is not your fault that you are here today, but you oppress the fellow villagers who are as poor as you. How can you bear it? Compare your feelings to yourselves.

Think about it, what would you think if your hometown encountered other armies like yours, robbing your family, beating your parents, and even ruining your wives, daughters, and sisters? Tell me, what would you think?"

The prisoners hung their heads in shame, not daring to look at An Yi again, but An Yi did not let them go because of this:

"I know that your army is different from our revolutionary army - the purpose of our war is to eliminate the warlords and liberate the suffering people in the world, so that everyone can live a life of land and land without oppression, not for who

Sir, which warlord is fighting? We only fight for the common people of the world. Look, the common people support us and regard us as their relatives and their own soldiers, but what about you? You can only receive looks of hatred!

Okay, you will gradually understand these truths. Now I just want to ask you, should these seven evil-doing leaders be killed? My brothers will pick them out one by one later, and I will ask them one by one.

You guys, I respect your opinions. If half of you say he shouldn’t be killed, I will let him go immediately. If less than 30% of the people plead for him, then he deserves to die! Listen up... Let’s start now!

"

Two tough platoon leaders, Lu Xiong and Su Tieming, immediately pulled out a lieutenant leader and, with a little force, made the little leader kneel.
