Chapter 150: Blacksmith Cao and Huzi
The people at the foot of the mountain are actually bandits from Tianlong Village on the mountain. The leader of Tianlong Village is the fat guy in front of him, whose name is Cao Manhe, who is from Fujingcheng. Since he worked as a blacksmith before he became a leader, the people in Fujing took him to nickname Cao Blacksmith.
Because Cao blacksmith was offended by the powerful, he had to go up the mountain and fall into the grass. If it were put a few months ago, Cao blacksmith was paying attention to the attack on the spy company. It was not because the spy company was a soldier, but only dozens of bandits under Cao blacksmith a few months ago. Until recently, Cao blacksmith robbed many people who escaped from the north. Those who had no money or those he liked were forced to pull them into his bandit den.
Hu Zi was also caught up the mountain when Cao's blacksmith was robbed. However, because Hu Zi was not weak by nature, under the coercion of Cao's blacksmith, he said that he would not join Tianlong Village. Cao's blacksmith was so angry that he wanted to kill Hu Zi, but he also let the little bandits say that Hu Zi knew that Cao's blacksmith was preparing to kill him.
The night before he was about to kill Hu Zi, Hu Zi took advantage of the bandits who delivered him a dead meal and hit the place where he was guarding him. Hu Zi was angry because Cao's blacksmith wanted to kill him, so he left the house he was detained and searched in Tianlong Village for a round of searches, preparing to find Cao's blacksmith and give him a knife.
However, Hu Zi's behavior was soon discovered by the bandits. Just as Hu Zi was about to rush into Cao's blacksmith's room, the bandits surrounded Hu Zi. Although surrounded by many bandits, Hu Zi showed a look of fearlessness. When Cao's blacksmith came out of the house, he suddenly felt no angry when he saw Hu Zi's expression. Instead, he developed a favor to this fearless person.
In this way, the blacksmith Cao couldn't help but not kill Hu Zi, but instead invited him into the lobby and treated him with the courtesy of a distinguished guest. Cao blacksmith suddenly treated him with great courtesy, which made Hu Zi a little at a loss. Cao blacksmith Cao asked someone to prepare a banquet, and while drinking and chatting, the two of them gradually felt acquainted with each other. Therefore, Hu Zi took the initiative to propose to stay in Tianlong Village, which is of course what Cao blacksmith most wanted to see, so Hu Zi became a bandit in Tianlong Village from then on.
In the past, the bandits in Tianlong Village only robbed some passers-by individual merchants, and they did not dare to do anything easily with many armed escorts. In recent times, with the help of Hu Zi, Cao Blacksmith not only robbed the goods several times, but also robbed a security force of the National Government.
After that experience, Cao Blacksmith became more and more courageous. Once, he wanted to take the bandits from Tianlong Village to Fujing County. One was to kill his enemies in Fujing City, and the other was to rob the caravans passing by, and only the caravans that robbed goods could no longer satisfy him. However, due to Hu Zi's opposition, Cao Blacksmith was unable to go to Fujing City with a hot head.
While lunch was having lunch today, Cao Blacksmith and Hu Zi were having a lot of fun. A bandit suddenly reported that a letter from Yanzi at the foot of the mountain came, and an army of more than a dozen people came towards the direction of Tianlong Village. Moreover, Yanzi also reported that the weapons of this team looked very powerful.
Hearing that there were excellent weapons and equipment, Hu Zi believed that it was a regular army of the National Government, so he suggested that Cao Blacksmith not do this business. However, when Cao Blacksmith received the report, he became greedy and would rob the troops no matter what Hu Zi said. Therefore, there were bandits from Tianlongzhai, who were surrounded when Li Tieshu and Liu Wenxue discovered that the Japanese pursuers were preparing to evacuate.
However, what Cao Blacksmith and other bandits did not expect was that the fat sheep they had just surrounded them and suddenly another group of Japanese soldiers rushed over. What made them even more incredible was that without any reaction, the small army of the National Government they surrounded immediately fought with the Japanese.
When Hu Zi was about to rush forward to avenge his fellow villagers, Cao Blacksmith stopped him. Because he saw that the Japanese attack was too fierce, even the cannons he had never seen had been used. Just as he pulled Hu Zi and prevented Hu Zi from rushing up, a gunshot suddenly came from the west of the foot of the mountain. Then Cao Blacksmith and Hu Zi saw that a bandit in the west fell to the ground, struggled for a few times and died.
The gunshots made Cao Blacksmith and Hu Zi immediately ordered the bandits to hide. As soon as they moved, the gunshots in the west sounded again, and this time two bandits were killed. Then they saw a group of Japanese soldiers rushing over from the west of the foot of the mountain. After seeing the bandits in Tianlong Village, these Japanese did not know what these people were, but the Japanese squadron leader immediately ordered the attack on the bandits.
Several brothers were beaten to death by the Japanese for no reason. Cao Tiejiang's anger immediately rose and he ordered the bandits in Tianlong Village loudly: "Brothers! Beat me! Damn, you dare to attack me! Beat me!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
...
The battle at the foot of the mountain began immediately. Although the weapons of the bandits in Tianlong Village were not very good, the key was that they were also quite a lot of people. During this time, Cao Blacksmith and Hu Zi gathered nearly five or six hundred bandits. This time they came out to rob the spy company. Since they knew that the other party was a regular army of the National Government, they cautiously brought out nearly four hundred bandits.
Although the Japanese took the initiative at the beginning of the battle, the bandits in Tianlong Village were able to use the familiar terrain and quickly defeated the Japanese without further advancement.
Xie Pingyang, Li Tieshu and Liu Wenxue on the top of the mountain were also startled by the sudden gunfire from behind. Their first felt that they were bandits from Tianlong Village, and they took advantage of the situation behind them. However, when they turned around and looked, the direction of the bandits shooting was the west side of the foot of the mountain, and then they saw the Japanese on the west side of the foot of the mountain.
Xie Pingyang, Li Tieshu and Liu Wenxue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were glad that there were bandits from Tianlong Village at the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, they might have been surrounded by the Japanese again at this moment.
Since seeing the bandits in Tianlong Village fighting with the Japanese, Xie Pingyang has been paying attention to the battle situation at the foot of the mountain behind him. The bandits took advantage of the familiar terrain and blocked the Japanese at a corner at the foot of the mountain for a while, so that the Japanese could not move forward.
However, the Japanese detoured to the foot of the mountain and immediately used the mortars when they could not open up the Tianlong Village front. With the bombing of the mortars, the bandits in the Tianlong Village were not so calmly blocked. After being killed by more than a dozen bandits, the bandits began to flee later. They saw that the defense line of the Tianlong Village might collapse at any time.
Xie Pingyang turned around and said to Liu Wenxue not far away: "Sir Liu! Those below are almost out of reach! Take a few brothers to support you. As long as we can repel an attack from the Japanese, we can evacuate!"
"good!"
After Liu Wenxue agreed, he led five soldiers to rush towards the bandits at the foot of the mountain.
When Liu Wenxue rushed to Cao Blacksmith and Hu Zi, Hu Zi was already injured. Cao Blacksmith was about to retreat immediately. Seeing Liu Wenxue and other six national troops suddenly rushed over, Cao Blacksmith was first cautious and alert. He really thought that Liu Wenxue and others were here to cause trouble for him.
But soon he realized that he was wrong. While Liu Wenxue and the others were rushing towards Cao Blacksmith, they raised their guns and shot at the Japanese while moving towards Cao Blacksmith and Hu Zi. Hu Zi also noticed Cao Blacksmith's expression, so when Cao Blacksmith raised his gun to Liu Wenxue, Hu Zi pressed his hand and said, "The head of the family! These people are here to help us, don't you see that?"
When Cao Blacksmith heard this, he was shocked, but he immediately understood. At this time, Liu Wenxue had rushed to them. First, he ordered five soldiers to go out and block at the front of the bandits. Then, he turned to Cao Blacksmith and clasped his fists and said, "This hero! Below is Liu Wenxue, Chief of Staff of the 38th Division of the 59th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. On behalf of all the remaining brothers in the spy company, I would like to thank all the heroes for their help!"
Cao Blacksmith also clasped her fists to Liu Wenxue and said, "I am Cao Manhe, the leader of Tianlong Village on this mountain, but everyone calls me Cao Blacksmith. This is my brother's tiger! Mr. Liu offended him just now, please forgive me!"
Hu Zi also clasped his fists to Liu Wenxue and said, "Boss Liu! They were all misunderstandings just now. We don't know that you are a team fighting the Japanese!"
Liu Wenxue was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but ask with some joy: "Brother Huzi are from the north of Henan, right? Our former company commander was yours, and you two spoke exactly the same accent!"
"Oh! Is that right? When did we produce a hero who fights the Japanese!"
Liu Wenxue was about to tell Hu Zi about Peng Dezhu's situation, but suddenly he found that the Japanese attack was fierce. He put these aside, turned around, rushed out of the hidden big stone, rushed to the five soldiers and picked up the submachine guns he had taken from the soldiers who died in the commando, and directly sent the four or five Japanese rushing over to Tutu.
Some bandits have already begun to flee backwards. Cao Blacksmith and Hu Zi saw that Liu Wenxue was actually rushing forward with bullets and rushing forward regardless of danger. The bandits' blood burned again. Hu Zi raised the shell gun with his uninjured right arm and shouted loudly to the bandits: "Brothers! Did you see it? The one in front is our army. What are you afraid of with them? Don't you want to die the damn gods on the opposite side and avenge their fellow villagers? Rush up! Kill these damn gods!"
Many of the bandits who were pulled to the mountain village by Cao Blacksmith and Hu Ziqiang had to escape because the Japanese attacked their hometowns. Therefore, Hu Zi's shouting immediately ignited the seeds of hatred in their hearts and rushed towards the Japanese with hatred eyes.
"Ka! Da! Da!"
