If Tian Shuisheng does his ideological work well, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle.

In addition to the Wolf Fang Special Forces, Wang Chengzhu also led a reconnaissance company, a cavalry company, a first company and a second company, with a total number of nearly 600 people. In addition, they could be transported by war horses and loaded by carriages, so the transportation capacity was sufficient.

So, Wang Chengzhu took advantage of the darkness to move away all the valuable or useful things from Heiyun Village, burned down the bandits' village, and returned to Wangjiacun in style.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, ordered all his men and horses and rushed toward Heiyun Village with murderous intent.

Such a large amount of supplies being robbed will not only starve the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment, but if the news gets out, it will also make Chu Yunfei lose face.

Chu Yunfei is a person with a good face, so naturally he can't swallow this breath...

The 358th Regiment's station is nearly 60 kilometers away from Heiyun Mountain. By the time Chu Yunfei led his troops to the foot of Heiyun Mountain, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Because he knew that the terrain of Heiyun Mountain was dangerous and the way up the mountain was blocked by bandits from Heiyun Village, Chu Yunfei did not rush up the mountain after arriving at the foot of the mountain. Instead, he came to a position with a wide view and raised his binoculars.

Observed carefully.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfei noticed that Heiyun Village seemed to have been burned by fire, and he frowned.

"Strange, so strange!"

Qian Bojun, commander of the first battalion next to him, asked: "Tuanzuo, what's the matter?"

Chu Yunfei said: "Heiyun Village seems to have been burned by fire."

After hearing this, Qian Bojun picked up the telescope and observed again. At the beginning, due to the obstruction of his sight, he could not see the specific situation of the village clearly. Qian Bojun focused his observation on the road up the mountain, mainly for reconnaissance.

The locations of the sentry posts and firepower points of Heiyun Village.

Now after listening to what Chu Yunfei said, he focused his observation on the location of the looming mountain village that was blocked by the mountains and forests, and he found the same situation.

"Tuanzuo, it seems that Heiyun Village was indeed burned by fire."

"What's going on? Could it be that Xie Baoqing was afraid of our retaliation, so he burned down the stronghold in advance and escaped overnight?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "This should not be the case. Before this, our Jinsui Army had not sent troops to clear out Heiyun Village.

If Xie Baoqing was really afraid, he would not have robbed our supplies yesterday."

"Yeah, that's right."

Qian Bojun nodded seriously.

Chu Yunfei added: "It stands to reason that the bandits from Heiyun Village should have discovered us. If Xie Baoqing is facing a formidable enemy, he will definitely mobilize his troops and set up defenses, but I did not find a single bandit from Heiyun Village. This

There seems to be something wrong."

Qian Bojun said: "Master, is this a trap set by Xie Baoqing for us, deliberately showing weakness to the enemy in order to lure us into the trap?"

Chu Yunfei: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Qian Bojun: "Commander, why don't we fire a few shots at him first to see what's going on in Heiyun Village?"

Using artillery fire as soon as the enemy was discovered without detecting the enemy's situation was not in line with Chu Yunfei's method of using troops.

However, the bandits in Heiyun Village were cunning and cunning, and it was impossible for Chu Yunfei to let his troops launch a direct attack.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and finally adopted Qian Bojun's opinion: "Okay, let the artillery battalion use firepower to conduct reconnaissance."

"yes!"

Qian Bojun responded and immediately ran towards the artillery camp position.

At this time, the artillery battalion had set up artillery in an open position at the foot of the mountain. After receiving the order, it immediately launched a tentative bombardment of Heiyun Village.

"Tum, tom, tom..."

Chu Yunfei's eyes have been focused on the location of Heiyun Village on the mountain. As the shells pierced the sky, he first saw eye-catching explosions of flames rising into the sky from the location of the village, followed by huge explosions.

The sound echoed in the mountains and reached his ears.

As the explosion flames disappeared, the mountain immediately returned to calm.

Not long after, Qian Bojun rushed over at a trot: "Team members, how is the situation?"

Chu Yunfei: "There is still no movement."

"In this way, you arrange for a team of scouts to go up the mountain to detect the enemy's situation. Be careful to tell the scouting officers and soldiers not to be too lazy to fight. When you encounter bandits, come back and report to me immediately!"

"yes!"

Qian Bojun responded and immediately dispatched a platoon of officers and soldiers from the first battalion to go up the mountain to investigate the situation.

The officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon held guns in their hands and advanced cautiously.

Their caution was obviously unnecessary, because all the bandits in Heiyun Village had been wiped out by Wang Chengzhu, and even the corpses of the bandits had been buried together.

It was not that Wang Chengzhu was kind-hearted in collecting the corpses of the bandits in Heiyun Village, but mainly because he was afraid of causing a plague, and the people nearby would suffer.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon had an unimpeded journey and did not encounter any open or hidden sentries at Heiyun Village. They arrived at Heiyun Village easily.

Then they saw a scene that surprised them.

As far as the eye could see, I could see that the entire village had been reduced to ashes, and there was no sign of a bandit anywhere.

The officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon searched around the mountain stronghold and saw some blood stains on the ground. They also discovered the pit where Wang Chengzhu buried the bandit.

This pit looks out of place with the surrounding environment, and the soil above it is also new soil.

The reconnaissance platoon leader immediately realized something was wrong, and immediately ordered the soldiers on the side: "You guys, dig up the soil above this immediately and see what is buried inside!"

"yes!"

The officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon agreed, then found some unburnt wooden boards, wooden stakes, etc., and began to dig up the soil.

At the moment, they don't carry tools like engineer shovels, so they can only make do with these.

The officers and soldiers dug for a while, removing the loose soil from it to a depth of about half a meter, and soon discovered the body inside.

"Platoon leader, corpse! There are corpses buried in this pit!"

"Oh? Corpse?"

The reconnaissance platoon leader came over and instructed: "Keep digging, quickly, quickly!"

As more and more soil was dug up, more and more bodies were found in the pit.

The reconnaissance platoon leader did not dare to delay at all, and immediately said to the two soldiers on the side: "You two, go down the mountain immediately and report this matter to the regiment!"

"yes!"
