spnIn mid-August, the farmers who had worked hard and waited for half a year finally brought home the yellow rice ears. The grain drying fields in each village were filled with woven bamboos. The rice is dried on different drying pads, and as soon as the moisture is gone, it is stored in the warehouse.

No one is not afraid of the days of hunger. Almost every household will send the elderly and children to watch their own sun mats. The unprecedented bumper harvest makes everyone feel uneasy. They are always afraid that it is just a dream and the rice will be gone when they wake up. [Search for the latest updates here]

At the newly opened training ground in Yunwu Mountain, soldiers from the second battalion of the secret militia reorganized by the bandits are stepping up their training. With the participation of dozens of soldiers from the first battalion of the militia who have been exchanged, extremely strict and formalized military training is in full swing. unfold.

There was considerable resistance among the bandits at first, but it was not until Zhuge Sheng and Tiesangan personally came onto the field with whips to supervise the formation that they suppressed the unruly bandits and allowed the training to proceed smoothly.

The militia officer who led the team up the mountain this time was Chu Shiwen, commander of the third company. He was well-trained, prudent in his actions, and his military qualities were among the best among the current level of the militia. On a hot day, Chu Shiwen was not lazy at all. He stood on the sidelines in uniform, supervising. Train every step of the way.[

Zhuge Sheng sat under the pergola to rest his breath and drank two mouthfuls of white fungus soup. He felt much cooler. When he was about to go out to supervise the formation training, he saw a subordinate running towards him quickly.

"Army, military advisor..."

"What a strategist, call me instructor!" Zhuge Sheng picked up the white fungus soup bowl and stood up.

"Instructor, here is a secret letter from the caravan." The young pawn was still not used to the title of instructor Zhuge Sheng, so he stuttered while wiping his sweat.

"Caravan?" Zhuge Sheng waved away his men and opened the urgent letter sealed with vermilion lacquer. Originally, the caravan should have been handed over two days ago, but Zhang Shusheng was worried that something would happen in the last few days of the rice harvest, and There was no matter of handing over the caravan to the caravan’s foothold in Huize County.

"Huili Linjiangya Fan Mazi led more than a thousand bandits to cross the river at midnight last night and headed straight for Xiaoqingshan!"

"not good!!"

Zhuge Sheng was familiar with the art of war and was very good at strategy. This information was very important and timely. He squeezed the yellowed envelope tightly and without thinking, he urgently ordered his men to prepare their horses and rush to Lishuping.

We crossed the river overnight last night. We are only half a day's journey from the Jinsha River. We are probably already at the village on the edge of Xiaoqingshan Mountain. Zhuge Sheng knew the purpose of the bandits' coming without even thinking about it. He Laogui was killed by the shelling. This kind of thing happened—grabbing for food! It’s just that He Laogui rarely kills people, and Fan Mazi rarely kills people.

He knew that this was an opportunity. The second battalion was just being built, and the information about bandits robbing food would be a God-given opportunity for him to show his loyalty to Zhang Shusheng.

After reviewing and approving a report on appropriation for the expansion of the garment factory, Zhang Shusheng finished his morning work. Before he could go downstairs, he saw a fast horse galloping in the distance. With his eyesight, he immediately recognized He Shao in disguise. Zhuge Sheng was so anxious that something big had happened.

"Get ready!" The security squad outside did not know Zhuge Sheng. Seeing that he was about to rush over, they had already shouted the warning command. Eight 1898 rifles were already aimed at Zhuge Sheng, who was charging towards him on horseback. The security squad leader saw this and angrily shouted: "If someone comes in, dismount, and if he steps forward again, he will shoot!!"

"stop!"

When Zhang Shusheng saw this, he stopped the guards and just walked downstairs when Zhuge Sheng rolled off his horse.

"Captain, I have urgent military information!!" Zhugesheng handed over the information. The two walked indoors, closed the door, and Zhang Shusheng opened the information.

"It's true that we collected three to five buckets more and caused a lot of trouble. Even the bandits came in full force to steal the grain."

In anger, Zhang Shusheng slammed his right hand on the solid wood table, denting a corner of the table. Zhugesheng's heart skipped a beat as he did not expect that his leader was also a martial arts master.

"Captain, this group of bandits is different from what we used to do in Yunwu Mountain. Fan Mazi was born from an intermarriage between Han and ethnic minorities. He suffered discrimination since he was a child. After joining the Brother Pao Society, he always killed people in battles. Later, he started to fight.

Due to internal strife, this guy took a group of people up the mountain and established Fanjiazhai. This guy's character has long been perverted and twisted, killing people like crazy and taking pleasure in humiliating women! At the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, this guy is the number one villain.

bandit."

Zhuge Sheng gave a brief summary of other information that Zhang Shusheng did not know.[

"Yeah, I just gave a small group of people a chance to have enough to eat, and these beasts came to rob me. They are people with a long history of evil, and I just want to take advantage of them this time."

Leaving Zhuge Sheng waiting in the office, Zhang Shusheng rushed out of the small building and ran to the militia barracks. He took the military whistle from the military commander on duty, stood in front of the barracks, and blew the muster whistle himself.

"Three long and two short, emergency assembly sentry, hurry! Gather, everyone assemble! Hurry! Hurry!" Wu Tiejun, Chen Jun and other militia officers were preparing to have lunch with the militia soldiers in the collective cafeteria. After hearing the emergency assembly sentry, they ran like crazy

He left the canteen and ran towards the military camp.

The dormitories were knocked open one after another. The neatly placed guns and marching bags were put on their backs. They packed up their belongings in ten seconds, then grabbed the emergency slide next to the second floor and slid down, quickly running towards the playground.

It has to be said that these hundreds of militia soldiers who have been trained for a whole year have indeed developed to some level under Zhang Shusheng's almost harsh and strict requirements. If you think about the level of students in half-month military training in later generations, you will know that even if the militia soldiers are

Not as good as the regular armies of later generations, but definitely not idiots either.

"Hurry up!"

Wu Tiejun and others were the first to arrive. When they saw that Zhang Shusheng personally blew the emergency assembly whistle, they knew that the matter was serious and did not even have time to salute, so they quickly gathered the team.

"Count!"

"Count!"

"Count!"

The platoon leaders roared loudly, and the counting sounds of each platoon sounded quickly, and each platoon was quickly formed into a team in less than a minute.

Wu Tiejun ran towards Zhang Shusheng, stood at attention, saluted, and shouted: "Report to the leader, the emergency gathering is complete! Please give instructions!"

Looking at the militia soldiers, including the reservists, in front of him, they were all ready to go, and they were fully equipped for emergency march. Zhang Shusheng's mind suddenly changed, he had already drafted an order, and loudly ordered: "Have a rest and stand at attention! According to intelligence, there is a group with a number of

Thousands of grain-stealing bandits were about to massacre Xiaoqingshan. The platoon leaders immediately organized mounted reconnaissance teams to carry out emergency reconnaissance missions in seven villages including Baligou, Wangshanya, Zhushanping, Shiligou, Wangchang Village, Jianshe Village, and Tutu Village.

.”

The platoon commanders of each platoon came out and quickly organized a horse-mounted reconnaissance team that had been trained for more than half a year to set off and rush to seven villages to conduct reconnaissance.

Horses from the southwest are shorter, but they are not slow in running.

Zhang Shusheng continued: "Open the arsenal and distribute ten Maxim heavy machine guns to every platoon!"

From the news of the incoming bandits to the armed reconnaissance and distribution of heavy machine guns, every soldier felt the approaching battle. The internal affairs team of the militia quickly brought out ten heavy machine guns, one in front of each platoon.

This thing doesn't have many opportunities to actually shoot on weekdays, and the soldiers who are assigned as heavy machine gun shooters are extremely nervous.

Zhang Shusheng: "Immediately send someone to notify Engineer Hermann of the ordnance factory, and the artillery team will immediately carry out artillery maintenance!"

By the time Herman arrived, full of excitement, the entire militia group had already assembled. While the soldiers stood there and finished eating the dry food in their marching bags, Zhang Shusheng and others also agreed on the marching route.

"Since the bandits came from the direction of the Jinsha River, they must not have harassed the villages on the front line at this time. Otherwise, our left-behind militia soldiers stationed in each village will definitely report back urgently. In these villages, it only takes half a day to ride a fast horse.

Hours." Facing a very simple map of Xiaoqingshan in his hand, Li Junming, a graduate of the Yunnan Army Military Lecture Hall, quickly analyzed the enemy's situation. His tactical literacy was relatively high.

"I'm afraid that the enemy secretly infiltrates Chencang, obviously grabbing food, but actually coming straight to the headquarters of Shusheng Company. Once the main force of the militia leaves, Lishuping will be in danger. This is the foundation of Xiaoqingshan." Wu Tiejun reminded.

Zhang Shusheng thought for a while and said: "The bandits are here just to rob things, whether it's money, food or headquarters. Since we can't just wait, we have to go up to them. Just in case, leave a company and four heavy machine guns behind for defense.

Wu Tiejun was in charge of Lishuping, and the other companies set out with me to the villages in the direction of the Jinsha River. As long as the reconnaissance team is sent out in a fan shape along the way, even if the enemy has other intentions, there will be enough time to prepare to block the attack."[

"Yes!" everyone responded.

When Zhang Shusheng saw Zhugesheng who was still staying in the guard room, he couldn't help but call Wu Tiejun over and said: "I will ask Zhugesheng to go with him as a spectator to fight the bandits. Before I come back, if there is anything wrong with the family members of the second battalion, all of them will be arrested."

stand up!"

The explanation given to Sun Changqing was even more mysterious. When the two of them were far away, Zhang Shusheng secretly took out a small intercom from his bag and signaled to Sun Changqing: "Uncle Changqing, if something urgent happens, please follow the instructions.

Do what I told you before."

"Shusheng, don't worry, Uncle Changqing will never make a mistake even if he dies." Sun Changqing also hid one close to his body. They were two long-distance intercoms synthesized by Zhang Shusheng using a dream machine, and were used in emergencies.
