"Zuoma Mountain must be attacked." The reason why Tangcheng decided to attack the bandits in Zouma Mountain was because Cai Shuisheng said that when this group of bandits left Tieshan, they brought with them dozens of large boxes.
The big leader, Huang Jinbiao, is a habitual bandit who has been entrenched around Huangshi for many years. Tang Cheng guessed that the boxes contained the wealth that Huang Jinbiao had accumulated over the years. If an old bandit did not have any wealth, Tang Cheng would have it anyway.
Won't believe it.
The war cannot be just about making money. The reason Tangcheng gave Song Tieshan was to train troops. The combat effectiveness of the guerrillas was too weak. Even Song Tieshan knew this. So Tangcheng proposed to attack Zouma Mountain for the purpose of training troops, and Song Tieshan did not stop him.
, Besides, they can also collect weapons and ammunition from the bandits. "Captain Tang, although we already know some things about the bandits and know that they don't have many weapons, we only have a dozen people who can fight. There are more than a hundred bandits.
Can we do this?"
Tang Cheng, who was secretly making plans in his mind, glanced at Song Tieshan sideways when he heard this. Knowing that Song Tieshan was worried about his guerrillas, Tang Cheng naturally did not ignore them with a cold face, and immediately said with a smile, "Captain Song, you put that
Can you remove the word ?? We already know the number of these bandits, their weapons configuration, and the general terrain of Zouma Mountain. Although we have fewer people who can fight, we have machine guns and small cannons.
, once the strong firepower comes out, I don’t believe these bandits can withstand it, not to mention they have not built fortifications and bunkers on Zouma Mountain.”
The reassuring pills given by Tang Cheng could not completely reassure Song Tieshan. The closer he got to Zouma Mountain, the darker Song Tieshan's expression became. However, Tang Cheng ignored these and just lowered his head to figure out his own actions.
The topographic map in his hand was only hand-drawn based on the confessions of Cai Shuisheng and the others. As a commander, he was responsible for the survival of dozens of people, so Tang Cheng could not easily believe the confessions of those bandits. He must now
Wait until the scouts come back before making the final decision.
Cai Shuisheng and the others went out in ragged clothes to starve and freeze. The leader of the bandits, Jin Biao, was chewing a chicken drumstick at this time. The oil stains from the drumstick were left on the corners of his mouth, and his chin was covered with grease. "Brother, I
I have told you a long time ago that Cai Shuisheng is just a troublemaker. We should have thrown that kid in Iron Mountain. Look at the people who are with him. Not only are they not grateful to you for giving them a
Sheng Lu, I have been saying bad things about you, big brother, in private." Dining with Jin Biao were his two sworn brothers, and the one who spoke was none other than the youngest, Yang Xiaotian.
"Brother, let's just kill the person named Cai. The third child is right. The copycat belongs to us. The person named Cai always incites the people below. It's not an option if this continues. Kill the person named Cai and the others.
People are honest." The grumpy second-in-command Qiao Jiachang was a butcher who specialized in killing pigs before he died. This man is simple-minded, but he firmly believes in what his sworn brother Yang Xiaotian said, because Yang Xiaotian is a scholar.
.
Huang Jinbiao threw the chicken bones in his hand on the table, pulled the woman standing next to him, and after wiping his oily hands on the woman, Huang Jinbiao picked up the wine bowl and raised his head to take a sip. "What are we doing?
When we first arrived at Zouma Mountain, the hearts of our brothers were naturally unstable. Killing the man named Cai was nothing, but if our brothers were thrown into disarray, it would be very detrimental to us. That man surnamed Cai was just a gangster.
, As long as those old brothers don’t get involved with him, the man named Cai won’t be able to make much trouble.”
Seeing what Huang Jinbiao said, Yang Xiaotian stopped saying anything. When he learned that the Japanese army had occupied Huangshi, it was Yang Xiaotian who urged them to leave Tieshan and go north to Zouma Mountain. Their group of bandits might still have a way to survive near Huangshi City, but if they and Xiao Tian
When encountering the Japanese, in addition to being ganged up, they would also be recruited by the little Japanese. Yang Xiaotian had attended a foreign school in Wuhan before Luocao, and he was considered a somewhat knowledgeable person. He did not want to be beaten to death by the Japanese soldiers as if they were a target, nor did he want to be beaten to death by Japanese soldiers.
He was scolded as a traitor, so he could only encourage Huang Jinbiao to go north to Zouma Mountain.
Yang Xiaotian and Cai Shuisheng became enemies when they left Tieshan. Cai Shuisheng was a native of Huangshi, and Yang Xiaotian raised a woman in Huangshi City. When he learned that the Japanese army had occupied Huangshi, Yang Xiaotian sent Cai Shuisheng back to Huangshi to help him.
The pregnant woman came to Tieshan. Everything was going well at first, but when Cai Shuisheng and the others left Huangshi and returned to Tieshan, they encountered the Japanese army who were chasing and retreating. The timid Cai Shuisheng actually abandoned Yang Xiaotian's woman.
, ran away alone. If it weren't for the protection of several refugees who ran out of the city to rebel, Yang Xiaotian's woman and the child in her belly might have disappeared long ago.
The woman who came to Tieshan under the protection of those refugees always spoke ill of Cai Shuisheng in Yang Xiaotian's ears. It was precisely because of this that Yang Xiaotian deliberately tried to get rid of Cai Shuisheng. The three people who gathered together for dinner
The brothers didn't know that Cai Shuisheng and the others who were sent out to guard had been arrested. If Yang Xiaotian learned the news, he might jump with joy.
Tangcheng's carriage stopped when they were still 3 miles away from Zouma Mountain. A forward scout who had been waiting here for a long time ran over quickly. Tangcheng's men were too few, so Tangcheng could send out
There were very few scouts, so they could only deliver the news in the form of relays. The scout closest to the bandits had already entered Zouma Mountain. "Look, let me just say, these bandits are just a mob, and their lookout posts are only
It is arranged in Wujia Village, but this is their home base, but there is not even a patrol person. This is not waiting to be tricked."
After receiving the news brought back by the scouts, Tang Cheng was overjoyed. This was God's help. He thought that the bandits captured by the scouts were just their outer sentry posts, but he didn't expect that the closer they got to Zouma Mountain, the more the bandits came.
The more defenseless they became. Tang Cheng has now overturned the plan of a night attack. He plans to attack Zouma Mountain in broad daylight. If everything goes well, he might be able to capture Zouma Mountain before dinner.
Song Tieshan obviously did not expect such a situation to occur. From this point of view, the arrival of these bandits entrenched in Zouma Mountain was not a worry. Finding a place with leeward wind, Tangcheng gathered together those who could still fight.
, "We now have more than a dozen wounded people who need to rest, but the several villages we encountered along the way are too small. At the moment, only the Zouma Mountain proposed by Captain Song is not bad. The terrain of Zouma Mountain is dangerous, and you can attack or retreat if you advance.
, Even if the Japanese army comes, we are not afraid, but the fairy is in a good mood, Zouma Mountain has been occupied by a group of bandits from Huangshi."
After hearing what Tang Cheng said, the dozen or so people he summoned began to discuss in various directions. Most people's opinions coincided with Tang Cheng's, and they all said that this group of bandits should be suppressed. "I
After discussing with Captain Song, I also feel that taking the initiative to suppress this group of bandits is the best strategy. The Japanese army has already occupied Huangshi, and maybe they will cut off the passage south, so it is the first priority to let the wounded recover as soon as possible.
That's right, after suppressing the bandits in Zouma Mountain, we will have a stable area for activities, which will be beneficial to both the wounded and us."
Seeing that no one present spoke against him, Tang Cheng continued, "We already know that the number of this gang of bandits is around 200, and the only ones with guns are the three leaders and some of their hardcore confidants. Together, there are only more than 20 people."
"I thought, as long as we kill these 20 gun-wielding bandits, the remaining bandits who only have sticks and swords will definitely not dare to fight us." Seeing Zhao Baokun standing next to Old Northeast, Tang Cheng suddenly stopped talking.
.It was not that he wanted to keep Zhao Baokun a secret, but because almost all of the people he summoned were guerrillas, it seemed unreasonable not to let Song Tieshan say a few words at this time.
"You have all heard what Company Commander Tang just said. For the sake of our injured comrades and comrades-in-arms, this Zoumashan must be fought and defeated." Looking around at the guerrillas present, Song Tieshan said coldly, "I know
There are still some of you who are not convinced by Company Commander Tang's command, but I want to make it clear first. The encirclement and suppression of bandits is for our own comrades. If any of you are unwilling to accept the command of Company Commander Tang, it is best to stand up now to avoid
It ruined the whole operation when it was obtained."
The team members who were glanced at by Song Tieshan all lowered their heads. Some of them were indeed dissatisfied with Tang Cheng's command, thinking that Tang Cheng was just a young boy. But among the dozen or so team members, there were quite a few who were willing to accept Tang Cheng's command.
For example, Tieniu and Gouzi are two of them. They are direct witnesses of the ambush of the Japanese army in Tugang. It is not a simple person who can defeat more with less, and when facing the Japanese army on a rainy night, Tang Cheng and him
The two men under him have shown their skills.
"Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled. From now on, including me, we will all accept the command of Company Commander Tang. If someone disobeys the order and delays, we will weigh the consequences ourselves." In Song Tieshan.
Under pressure, the guerrillas expressed their willingness to accept Tang Cheng's command. Old Northeast was a little disdainful of Song Tieshan's words that were almost a performance, but Tang Cheng nodded in response to Song Tieshan's support.
Details determine everything, this is a saying that Robert taught Tang Cheng since he was a child. Before the scouts came back, Tang Cheng called the people participating in the battle and repeatedly deduced the upcoming battle. Without the numerical advantage, they could only analyze the small details.
, Only in this way can we do our best. Counting Zhao Baokun, Tang Cheng already has two machine gunners, plus his own grenade launchers, Tang Cheng is quite confident in capturing Zouma Mountain.
