Captain Li's plan was to take revenge overnight. In the name of going to the funeral, he took dozens of skilled confidants out of the camp in plain clothes, sneaked into the city without anyone noticing, and raided the Zhou family compound overnight.
But this is tantamount to rebellion. In the army, everyone respects you, but if you want to rebel, you have to think carefully. Who among those who have a family dares to follow you. Others have a grudge against you for killing your father, and I
But no, why should I abandon my wife and son to follow you?
Seeing everyone hemming and hawing in embarrassment, Captain Li also felt desolate in his heart. On weekdays, everyone said they were good brothers who would live through fire and water, but when it came time to get down to business, they all showed up.
The truth is. As a last resort, they increased the amount of remuneration and begged each other hard. Finally, two money-grubbing officers were willing to recruit people to follow the regiment leader to take a big risk. Anyway, wealth can be gained through risk, and there is no such thing in this world.
Desperate people like this are missing.
In the afternoon of that day, Commander Li, with more than thirty of his desperate men who had finally gathered together, left the military camp on horseback in civilian clothes and galloped towards Lishi County.
There are no roads from Zhongyang County to Lishi County. They are all mountain roads and small dirt roads, barely suitable for carriages, but impossible for trucks. Captain Li was eager for revenge, but he did not expect that there would be an ambush.
Zhou Wen specializes in doing things you can't think of. Now that he knows that the Li family has a son who is the head of the regiment, how could Zhou Wen keep this scourge (even if it wasn't a scourge before, it is now). As the saying goes, if you cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze.
Zhang Xiaoping and the members of the Ergazi Group have been waiting on a mountain road for a long time. The person who reported the news to the Li family was deliberately released by Zhou Wen, with the purpose of following him to find the military camp. When Captain Li led the people out, naturally
A secret whistleblower reported Zhang Xiaoping.
The ambush point chosen by Zhang Xiaoping was the junction of a rugged mountain road and a straight road. When Captain Li and the others slowed down their horses and passed the mountain road and entered the relatively empty straight road around them, Zhang Xiaoping's gun rang out and he was firmly in the crosshairs.
A man's head bloomed and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Xiaoping and the others had never met Captain Li, so they didn't know which one of the people he was, but they didn't need to know. Anyway, the people who came had no intention of letting anyone go.
Now the members of the long rifle team are all qualified sharpshooters. Just kidding, the people originally selected all have certain shooting talents. For more than a year, each person has received at least tens of thousands of rounds of live-fire shooting training, plus half a year of the Central Plains War.
Basically, they have achieved the integration of man and gun. What is the integration of man and gun? According to Zhou Wen's standards, there is no need to aim within two hundred meters, you must hit the target by raising your hand, and it is still a moving target.
Now the thirty or so people led by Commander Li are no more than 200 meters away from the ambush point. The surroundings are empty and the horses are slow. They are all human-shaped targets. Ying Qiqi's average firing rate of thirty rounds per minute is not
I was just joking. I only heard a series of "bang-bang-bang" gunshots...
Six Yingqi 77s and one Mauser G-98 standard rifle fired all the bullets in the chamber in twenty seconds. No one except Zhang Xiaoping reloaded the ammunition because it was no longer needed. Including Commander Li.
Among the 32 enemies inside, under the precise strike of sixty-five rifle bullets, and under the coordinated shooting that had reached an extremely tacit understanding in daily training and battles, no one was spared, and they all fell under their horses.
This is the effect of Zhou Wenyao. After nearly two years of hard work, he has finally reaped fruitful results. It can be said that now the spear members of the mercenary group have greatly improved their martial arts, and with the assistance of Zhou Wen's prajna energy, they are all very angry. At this stage, everyone met or exceeded the standards of what later generations would define as a precision shooter. What hindered their progress now was greater experience and more sophisticated rifles.
The shooting results of the seven people were quite remarkable. Zhang Xiaoping hit five out of five shots, Ergazi hit eight out of ten shots, and the other team members all hit five out of ten shots. It was not that they were inaccurate, but they basically hit the target too hard and were not counted as hits.
After the shooting, the team members dispersed and pulled out their pistols to search and move forward. Zhang Xiaoping reloaded his bullets and continued to monitor and cover in place. After the team members went up, they followed the same old routine: replenish their guns, search their bodies, and lead their horses. Five minutes. Finally, the seven men, carrying dozens of horses and captured weapons, disappeared at the end of the rugged mountain road.
Thirty-two corpses including Captain Li were discovered by passers-by that day. The area where the accident occurred was under the jurisdiction of Zhongyang County, so it was naturally handled by the security team of Zhongyang County. By the time they were identified and reported to the army, they were already the second It's God's business. The deputy commander knew the reason why Commander Li went out. Now that the commander was dead, he didn't dare to hide the truth, so he reported it to the brigade headquarters. The brigade headquarters saw that this was a personal vendetta and didn't want to pay attention to it, but A dignified regiment leader was beaten to death, and the enemy turned out to be a senior official of the Shanxi Party Headquarters. And there was no evidence to prove that it was the enemy who did it (but in this case, even a fool could guess that it was the enemy who did it), so we had no choice but to move on. Report.
Soon, the upper management's opinions came. Now is the critical moment to show an attitude and accept the leadership of the National Government. The Jin army cannot have any conflict with the Shanxi Party Headquarters. What's more, the regiment leader led the troops out of the camp without asking his superiors. Going to avenge one's own life violates military discipline and is tantamount to rebellion. The case is ignored and the public is told that he is going home for a funeral and that he was bandits on the way.
In this way, after three generations of hard work in Lishi County, Dashunlai Trading Company, a century-old time-honored brand, fell apart and disappeared with the attack and death of Captain Li, the most direct relative of the Li family.
…
The time came to early December of 1930. On this day, the first snow of this winter fell in Lishi County. In the main hall of the Zhou family courtyard, a prosperous stove was burning in the center, and braziers were placed in the four corners. , the whole room is so warm that people can't feel the cold outside at all.
A group of people in the room are chatting around the central stove. Today is a happy day. Zhou Wen's father, Zhou Jinghai, is in good health.
After Feng Tianpei arranged various medicinal diet preparations and Zhou Wen's prajna energy, and seeing that the big stone that had been weighing on his heart since his son returned disappeared. The joy, joy, and relaxed mood inspired vitality, and in just a short time Within a few days, Zhou Jinghai was able to get out of bed.
Today Zhou Jinghai is going to host a banquet for all his family members and brothers from the mercenary group. Let everyone have a good time and have a few drinks. It will also be a celebration banquet.
The enemy Dashunlai Company who framed and attempted to seize his family property fell. Fuyuan Company is now the new boss of Lishi County. The county magistrate is Zhou Wen's cousin Wang Chenghao, not to mention the president of the Chamber of Commerce. The post of security captain was originally given to Zhou Wen. Lin Dongping was asked to take the position, but Lin Dongping knew that Fuyuan Company was in the midst of expansion and he did not have the energy to take on two roles. So he recommended his good brother Zhang An, the former deputy captain of the security team.
