Chapter 38
"Go and call the platoon leader?"
In the middle of the team, there was a man riding a horse who was obviously a commander. He looked at the stars in the sky and greeted the adjutant beside him.
"Commander, company and platoon commander Ren Sande is here!" The adjutant quickly brought someone.
"Hey, leader, look for me!"
Ren Sande stood in front of the leader's horse with a carefree attitude. He didn't even know how to salute, but he actually cupped his fists.
The leader on the horse frowned, looking down on Ren Sande in front of him.
"Ren Sande, it's already dark. How far is this place from your village?"
Ren Sande replied without thinking: "Captain, there is still about 20 miles of mountain road from that boundary!
During the day, it would take at most an hour based on the strength of the brothers' feet. But now it is late at night and the brothers are not walking fast. It would take at least two and a half hours!
This is still to say that it is generous, after all, it is based on one's own pace.
"Um, I used to walk every day, but brothers are not familiar with the road of life, so we may have to walk slower, maybe three hours!"
Three hours?
Upon hearing this, the regiment leader originally wanted to go there at night. After climbing the mountain road for three hours at night, it was not certain who would kill whom in a fight.
The most important thing is that he doesn't have much trust in Ren Sande in front of him, and it is the home of bandits at night.
He thought for a while and said to the adjutant: "Send the order, find a place, rest for the night, and start again at dawn tomorrow!
After walking all night, I no longer had the energy to fight when I got there!
These are my family assets, if they are all gone, I will have no capital left!"
Ren Sande didn't care: "Captain, you underestimate yourself too much. There are more than 200 people in our security team!"
There are only a few people in Menghu Village, but Mr. Sun has a problem. He never recruits more than 40 soldiers.
Let's go deal with him now and beat one of the six. That's like an adult beating a child.
Isn’t this a matter of taking control?”
The head of the security team snorted: "You know what the heck, this is my family's fortune, these are all my brothers.
I, Zhang Kairong, am rich and powerful, but I don’t want to trade the lives of my brothers. You, a bandit, don’t understand!”
After saying that, I wanted to wave him down, but suddenly I remembered something: "Ren Sande, if I catch you, I won't kill you, but give you an official title!"
I hope you don’t fool me, if the copycat doesn’t have the yellow goods you mentioned, you will know what your fate will be!”
Ren Sande slapped his chest carelessly: "I know, we are gangsters, every spit is a nail!
If a sentence is not true, it will be struck by lightning.
We must be honest whenever we go out!"
The adjutant next to him couldn't help it and sneered: "A bandit who betrayed his brothers deserves to be said to be honest!"
Ren Sande's face turned red: "If you hadn't captured my good friend, why would I have betrayed the cottage?"
Zhang Kai, the leader of the security group next to him, snorted: "Now that you are a platoon leader under me, why don't you hurry up and arrange your own soldiers!
You are no longer a bandit, you are an officer, you must learn how to be a qualified officer!"
Ren Sande clasped his fists, turned around and left, but he was cursing in his heart: "Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf! You are not just a Japanese devil who betrayed your ancestors!"
But now that I am begging for food at the hands of others, I can only swallow my anger.
After all, he betrayed the copycat, and if he didn't find a backer to crucify the copycat, the only thing waiting for him might be to cut his skin and light a sky lantern with three swords and six holes.
I spent the whole night in the mountain village's atmosphere of looseness outside and tightness inside, but it was an uneventful night.
Chen Shanhe had woken up a long time ago and was running with Du Xinghua. Du Xinghua was carrying a rifle that was taller than him, so he was running with great difficulty.
But Chen Shanhe still led him to run rhythmically, neither fast nor slow. Du Xinghua could only grit his teeth and follow.
Sun Tiansheng looked at the two people from a distance and said to Gu Qiu next to him: "Fourth, he hasn't contacted you?"
What they were talking about was the private contact last night, confirming identity and mission.
Gu Qiu shook his head: "No, even if there was, I wouldn't dare tell you!
Of course, there is really no connection!
Besides, since the other party is here so blatantly, he won’t do things secretly, so don’t worry!
If he really wants to ask for something from you, he will tell you directly.
If you really came here for that thing!
Besides, does anyone else know about that thing besides you?
Do not worry!
No matter who gets the news and wants to come to you, they can only tell you the facts and explain the truth to you, and they will not force it!
Unless you’re brainless!”
Sun Tiansheng glanced at him and teased him: "Aren't you just sneaky?"
Gu Qiu was speechless, but he was a smart man and immediately changed the subject.
"How about I ask him directly?"
Sun Tiansheng said angrily: "Forget it! Wait and see what happens!
The bandits are aggrieved when they do what I do!"
Gu Qiu was a little worried: "As long as the thing is in your hands for a day, you will always have to face these pressures!"
The two of them were looking at Chen Shanhe and Du Xinghua. Chen Shanhe also saw them, so he brought Du Xinghua over to say hello.
"The eldest master, the fourth master got up very early!"
Sun Tiansheng also smiled and said hello: "Shopkeeper Chen is indeed a soldier, he got up so early to train!"
Chen Shanhe patted Du Xinghua's little head: "This kid was asked by his family to follow me and said he wanted to learn his skills from me!
If you want to learn, then teach!
So I’ll teach him how to shoot from today!”
Gu Qiu suddenly understood the meaning and said tentatively: "Shopkeeper Chen, such a young child cannot meet your recruitment standards, right?
This child looks like he should be about 9 or 10 years old.
Isn’t your eighth master’s recruitment standard that at least he should be over 14 years old?”
Du Xinghua looks really small now. With the rifle on his back, he is not as tall as the rifle. If he were to attach a bayonet, the rifle and bayonet would be much taller than him.
It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Ba to recruit such a child.
And it is even more impossible to bring them out to do tasks.
This is inconsistent with Ba Ye's discipline.
So I asked tentatively.
After hearing Gu Qiu's probing questions, Chen Shanhe didn't think much, shook his head and said: "They are not recruits, they are nephews!
His family gave the child to me and wanted me to teach him how to live in peace!"
Gu Qiu was even more confused at this time and wanted to inquire more clearly, but suddenly heard gunshots in the distance.
Then I saw people on guard posts in the distance rushing towards this direction.
Hearing the gunshots, dozens of bandits from the cottage quickly appeared outside. They could put on clothes and pick up equipment at a speed that could overwhelm recruits from the general army.
Because they are bandits.
They are bandits who tie their heads to their belts at any time, and are always facing attacks from officers, soldiers, and other bandits.
He doesn't have the image of a bandit who drinks until he wakes up naturally and is carefree after robbing the money.
They are all bleak professions where you have to live with your head in your belt.
The unwary bandits will basically die, unless they are particularly powerful bandits.
"Where to shoot?"
"Master, what's going on?"
The bandits quickly entered various defensive positions in the village.
The second master, on the other hand, had a pistol in his waist, but what he held in his hand was a long spear.
Bandits basically carry long guns. They only carry short guns when they go down the mountain to the county seat or town to have fun.
Because short guns can't shoot far, long guns are basically the only way to shoot far.
