Even if you are allowed to climb in, if there is an ambush inside, it will still be a dead end.

Chen Tianhua asked Gu Zhunian's thirty-eight investigation team members to hide under the wall and wait quietly.

He led Fei Ge's bodyguards and waited on the ground about 80 meters away from the barrier wall. They coordinated with each other. All light machine guns and rifle muzzles were aimed at the top of the barrier wall.

According to the agreement, Tang Zilin would come and open the gate of the village after midnight and come out to greet the officers and soldiers, but he was not seen for a long time.

At the end of April of the lunar calendar, it was still very hot at night in the early summer climate. Everyone was still wearing spring and autumn military uniforms, carrying guns and ammunition, wooden-handled grenades, and willow hats. They were all hot and sweating profusely.

Fortunately, in the second half of the night, there would be gusts of wind on the mountain from time to time, and it was very cool, which made everyone relax a lot from their already tense mood.

After waiting for nearly two hours, it was about three o'clock in the morning, and there was no movement at all near the wall.

According to regulations, Tang Zilin should have come out to meet the officers and soldiers by this time.

Will there be any accident?

Chen Tianhua and several officers all had the same worries in their hearts.

"General, would you like me to lead a few people to climb in and have a look?" Fei Ge said.

He used to be a scout, and he was very familiar with climbing.

"Wait a little longer. If you still don't come out after four o'clock, you can take someone to climb in and try again." Chen Tianhua did not agree. He did not want to take too many risks and act blindly.

Until four o'clock in the morning, there was still no movement on the wall. Chen Tianhua nodded, and Fei Ge led five personal guards to move towards the waist of the wall.

When he arrived at Gu Zhunian's place, the two discussed a plan. When they were about to take action, the thick wooden door in the wall was finally opened.

I saw Tang Zilin sneaking out secretly with five gangsters.

Fei Ge stepped forward and locked Tang Zilin's collar angrily, dragging him to Chen Tianhua.

"What have you been doing? Why didn't you open the door until now?" Chen Tianhua also asked angrily.

Tang Zilin said very aggrievedly:

"I'm sorry, General. Zhang Renkui has been holding me and others to discuss the war. Especially after his cousin Zhang Shangwu died, he was like a frightened bird, thinking only about how to escape."

"Have you figured it out?" Chen Tianhua asked.

"Zhang Renkui said that he asked the brothers to stay on the mountain for three more days. After three days, if the brothers and gangs in Ma'anshan or Hubao Mountain have not counterattacked, he is going to go down from the cliff of the back mountain. He has arranged for someone to weave vines.

hemp rope."

"Sure enough, he is an old fox." Chen Tianhua sneered a few times and asked Tang Zilin: "What's the situation with these gangsters on the mountain?"

"There are about a hundred brothers in the East Army Camp. The younger ones have done a good job and they are willing to put down their weapons and follow me. For the rest of the brothers in the West Army Camp, I dare not speak casually just yet, for fear of leaking some news."

"And Zhang Renkui had nearly a hundred confidants around him. He probably rewarded them heavily with money, and these people guarded the Dragon King Temple day and night."

Tang Zilin was quite smart. He didn't dare to take risks if he was unsure at this time. Otherwise, there were more than 400 bandits on the mountain, and Zhang Renkui could kill them in minutes.

The more than 100 gangsters he persuaded were probably the same people who followed him to guard the pass. It was easier to communicate with them and they agreed to start a new business with him.

When Chen Tianhua saw Tang Zilin's expression, he must be telling the truth. He nodded and comforted the other party with a smile. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to go down and notify Chen Er who was following behind, so that he could lead the troops forward.

After a while, Chen Er came up with two platoons of commandos, and also brought up two Gatling heavy machine guns mounted on mules and horses.

I'm afraid he doesn't have enough firepower, he's very thoughtful.

"Very good, let's divide the troops into two groups. Along the way, Chen Er will take his troops to the western military camp. Tang Zilin will send two brothers to lead the way. The main purpose is to ask them to surrender their weapons. Those who refuse to surrender or resist will be killed without mercy."

"Yes." Chen Er took the order with a military salute.

After the ceremony, he took two combat platoons and the sergeants from the heavy machine gun squad of the machine gun company. About eighty people poured in from the Guanqiang gate and headed straight for the Western Army Camp under the leadership of two surrender bandits.

"Where is Zhang Renkui now?" Chen Tianhua asked Tang Zilin after Chen Er and the others had walked away.

"Not long after the discussion was over, he and the group of soldiers were in the Dragon King Temple." Tang Zilin answered cautiously.

Only then did he take a closer look. The officers and soldiers were all strong and well-equipped with weapons and equipment. Rifles and grenades were standard equipment. There were also several Madsen light machine guns. Not to mention, they were all wearing willow hats.

Like a special attack force.

The combat power of this equipment is not even comparable to that of Zhang Renkui's personal troops. It is far behind.

Fortunately, I did some internal response, otherwise I really wouldn’t have been able to resist.

"Okay Tang Zilin, you and the remaining brothers will lead the way. We will go straight to the Dragon King Temple and deal with Zhang Renkui, the bandit leader." Chen Tianhua shouted in a low voice.

"I understand, little one."

After saying that, Tang Zilin led more than a dozen of his men to cover the way in front. Chen Tianhua led Gu Zhunian and Fei Ge's troops and marched in the dark towards the Dragon King Temple.

At this time, the moonlight on the top of the mountain was as bright as day, and there were no night watch enemies along the way. It was estimated that the night watchmen were all bandits that Tang Zilin had persuaded, and they were all waiting in the East Army camp to be recruited by the army.

Each of them tied their sleeves with white cloth, and their firearms were piled aside, waiting for the next two platoons of officers and soldiers to come up and collect them.

At this time, the bandits on Dragon King Peak, except for Zhang Renkui's more than 100 personal guards who were in the Dragon King Temple, the rest drank horse blood and wine, ate horse meat, and slept in the Western Army Camp.

There are less than 150 people in this Western Army camp, sleeping in two barracks.

It is said that Chen Er came to the vicinity of the Western Military Camp with more than 80 sergeants. He arranged for two platoons of sergeants to quietly surround the military camp. Two assembled heavy machine guns were aimed at the gate of the military camp.

"Who?" two sentries asked in front of the barracks, followed by the sound of a gun being pulled.

"Bang…"

"Bang bang..." Chen Er raised his hand and fired. The guards around him fired again, and the two sentries fell down in response.

"Light the torch, go up and shout, tell them to come out and surrender, otherwise they will be killed." Chen Er ordered the two surrendering bandits who were leading the way.

"clear…"

The two surrendering bandits nodded and accepted the order. They stepped forward to face the open door of the military camp and shouted at the top of their lungs:

"Brothers of Longwang Peak, the top of the mountain has been occupied by the army. You have been surrounded for the first time. Those who know the current situation are heroes. Everyone puts down their weapons and surrenders. The army treats the prisoners preferentially."

"..."

The gunshots and shouts just now woke up the gangsters. They timidly got up from the kang and were speechless.

"The officers and soldiers are approaching, get your guns and rush out to resist." A gangster leader stood up and shouted. The gangsters panicked and rushed to the window with their rifles to shoot.

"Bang…"

"Bang bang..."

"..."
