"...Although they are cannon fodder, according to the feedback, this group of bandits is extremely brave and has a large number of people. If the route had not been kept secret, causing the opponents to disperse and camp on multiple roads, and the convoy made the right decision and quickly disengaged, otherwise it would definitely have caused trouble.
Little trouble.
Afterwards, after interrogating and learning about the situation, the department's support staff launched a large-scale manhunt in the city together with the military and police. Most of the gangsters were extremely stubborn, and the weapons provided by the Japanese caused considerable damage to the department and the military and police.
Until now, not all of these gangsters have been arrested. The Japanese spies who commanded them behind the scenes are also extremely cunning and cautious. They disappeared as soon as the operation failed, and no clues have been found so far."
Lin Mo took the information and looked at it carefully. The bandits came from the northern side of the Dabie Mountains. They were considered a county bandit. They had been active in a mountainous county for a long time, and their plundering scope covered several surrounding counties.
During the melee between warlords a few years ago, a defeated army gathered other defeated soldiers, and the deserters gathered in the mountains and forests. They soon expanded to hundreds or even thousands of people, becoming a local tyrant and a nuisance.
In the meantime, there were many local campaigns of suppression. Once the bandits were suppressed, they fled into the mountains or fled to other districts and counties. Once they were suppressed, they immediately rebelled when there was no benefit, and they bounced back and forth between bandits and bandits.
In the past two years, a nearby county suffered serious flooding. Bandits fled to the area and took the opportunity to kidnap a group of refugees, whose number reached more than 2,000.
It was so arrogant that local small and medium-sized gangs had to pay tribute to them. This caused public outrage. Not only the small and medium-sized gangs were afraid and hated, but this scale was enough to make the local officials, gentry, landlords, powerful and wealthy businessmen feel uneasy.
Bandits! Many times, there are relatively complex relationships and even interest exchanges with officials, businessmen, and local powerful families. However, the core members of this gang are mostly deserters and few locals. In addition,
What he did suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Therefore, the local interlocking interest network was suddenly twisted together, and the stranglehold against this gang began.
The army pursued and besieged him and drove him into the mountains. After the food and ammunition were exhausted, the local small and medium-sized gangs jointly charged forward and attacked. Behind him were the collaboration and support of local officials, gentry, landlords, wealthy businessmen, and various lobbying and differentiation, intimidation and inducement.
It is not a remote mountainous area. Although there are mountainous areas, it is not the kind of huge and continuous mountain range. It is just a small remnant. It is surrounded by plains or wealthy areas. The powerful families are powerful, and the adjacent Dabie Mountains
, I have just had a riot with the Red Party, and I am afraid that it will resurface. The government is keeping a close eye on it. If I dare to go in and jump around, I will be tired of life.
Most of this group of gangsters were just a mob, and they quickly overran the ordinary peripheral gang members who had come to seek refuge. Some of them fled, and some of them surrendered. In the end, the gang leader led the two to three hundred core gang members.
The cronies were expelled from the area.
This is still a powerful force. It can quickly capture a large number of gangsters and allow him to lead these people to escape. Obviously they don't want to kill them and let them fight for their lives, but if there are any signs of something going wrong, they will definitely die.
.
Because this group of people were not willing to give in after the incident, they just went back and robbed several large households, garrison troops, security teams, and armed guards, and then they swarmed in. Fortunately, they were looting from the outside. When they saw something was wrong, they ran away immediately.
After this incident, they also knew that the place could not accommodate them, so they had no choice but to leave.
Many of them left the team and ran away, and in the end there were only more than a hundred people left, but these were also the best of the gangsters. The leader wanted to go back to vent his anger, but he knew that if he went back, he might not be able to get out again, so he had to be trusted.
The brother who was loyal to him looked for a way out, so he agreed to the person who came to him.
Of course, these are mostly rhetoric spread by the leader himself. It is not clear what the specific details are and what is the secret behind it. The gangsters who were caught and pried open their mouths are not clear.
The original agreement was to bypass the Dabie Mountains and cross the river, find a place to stay in the Shitai, Qingyang, and Nanling areas on the south bank, and then gather people to return to the old business. Anyway, most of the people left behind were deserters from various places.
I don't have much resistance to moving to other places.
As a result, when they arrived at the South Bank, they were told to go with them to do a big deal first. They were not familiar with the place, and they had spent almost the same amount of money. After all, it was impossible to come here arrogantly with guns and belongings, and only weapons were transported along the way.
The amount of various things to do was not a small amount. In addition, more than a hundred people were eating, drinking and eating all the way. Basically, the family's wealth was spent. Moreover, they suffered a defeat and lost too many weapons and ammunition. Although the guns were basically still available.
One gun, but some guns didn't even have a bullet in them.
They had no choice but to agree to follow them to Nanjing to make a so-called big deal. When they arrived in Nanjing, people dispersed and quietly moved into various places, which made their eyes dark. Later, they said they wanted to stop the convoy and steal things, but they could only
They were able to be at the mercy of the opponent in a daze, but fortunately, they were given a batch of sufficient ammunition before taking action, which gave them some confidence. Unfortunately, they encountered someone they couldn't afford to offend, so they could only be used as cannon fodder.
"What can I say? What can you see?" Lin Mo finished reading and asked everyone to pass it around. After everyone had seen it almost, he asked.
"These guys still haven't given up completely! They have suffered a lot of losses, so they just deceive others into being cannon fodder and rush forward to die. This is not a good sign. I'm afraid there will be more troubles like this in the future."
Lin Mo heard this and replied to Sha Ranhai who spoke: "What needs attention are the Japanese spies who are persistent in their evil intentions. Those who are encouraged to be deceived and used as cannon fodder are not a big problem.
Now that the intelligence office is becoming more and more prestigious, if some news about this attack is properly released and spread, these people will be able to weigh it carefully and see if they have the courage to become cannon fodder.
If you are still uneasy and worried that the news will not reach the ears of these people, you can also use this matter to have people compile some novels, arrange some operas, and come up with some storytelling stories to make the news spread more widely.
After a period of time, you can also use the incident and public opinion to publicize the matter again, so that the news can continue to ferment for a longer period of time, so that some people who are not informed will not hear it.
Change the escort to the leader of a gangster, or some valuable object, saying that these people want to rob prisoners and seize the treasure. Anyway, as long as we and the gangsters are highlighted, nothing else will be involved, and no secrets will be revealed, and Japan will not be involved.
Man, those guys can't do anything with this."
He Changwen was on the side, writing down these exchanges of opinions verbatim. These will later appear in the report file, submit it, and may also be summarized into a bulletin and reissued for people to read and study.
"Captain Lin, judging by their methods, they probably have attacked many people like gangsters, and I don't know how many of them have been controlled and bribed by them. I'm afraid they have become a scourge!"
Lin Mo nodded and said: "It is indeed a scourge, but scabies alone will not cause any major problems. Most bandits are ruthless. Unless they are fooled like this time, unless the Japanese power has extended to the front,
Otherwise these people would never come out openly.
On the other hand, small actions in private are more troublesome, such as assisting espionage activities, smuggling, trafficking and hiding weapons, or doing some underworld work for intelligence activities, inquiring about information, etc., which may bring us a lot of trouble.
The other is that we like to use pacifying methods when dealing with bandits. This is an opening that allows spies to sneak in as bandits. Although it is difficult for people with this background to enter important departments, such people generally hold military power and have many subordinates.
It is something that is hard to change in the past and easy to incite. If someone stabs you in the back in the future, it will definitely make you feel uncomfortable and even make your heart bleed."
"Speaking of bandits, I remember that we solved a Japanese espionage case earlier. A group of bandits conspired with the Japanese spies to sell maple and other items. They also injured Captain Shen. I don't know if this group of bandits has been wiped out."
"I know this. There was a relevant notification given to us a few days ago. He is still alive and well..." He Changwen opened his mouth. Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, he continued to elaborate.
"...After the case occurred, this group of people got into trouble with the Secret Service Headquarters. They probably found out that this group of people had made a lot of money by trafficking opium, so they took the case away.
But it did not take any advantage. Instead, the dignified secret service headquarters suffered many defeats at the hands of a group of bandits. The news came back a few days ago that they were suspected of discovering that this group of people showed up in Jiujiang and sold a large amount of maple.
It’s great, I even found a new source of goods, it can be said to be very moisturizing!”
"This group of bandits is not simple!" Shi Baocun said with emotion. He did not expect that a group of bandits could actually escape from the secret service headquarters many times and live well.
"There must be evil within the gang, and if it is not solved early, it will become a disaster sooner or later. This gang has gradually transformed from bandits into a wandering drug gang that makes a living by selling drugs. Moreover, it is also a drug gang that has colluded with intelligence agencies.
, the drug gang, which has spies behind it to guide it, and even personally directs its operations, has really taken shape, but it will be difficult to suppress it."
Lin Mo has always paid close attention to this gang. Although he is happy to see the collapse of the secret service headquarters, it is better to get rid of this group of gangsters.
Sha Ronghai nodded and said: "Judging from the Japanese's actions against these bandits, their ambitions are obvious. If you think carefully, they are almost all preparing and planning for the future invasion of these bandits.
For example, this drug gang, according to the current information, is active in almost all the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The original purpose of the gang that attacked in the evening was to move to the edge of the Yangtze River. This was to control any move on the Yangtze River, even
Threatening to disrupt shipping on the Yangtze River, the plan is really long-term..."
Obviously, Sha Ronghai also paid attention to this gang, otherwise he would not have this insight.
Lin Mo nodded and said: "There is no good solution for the time being. There are so many bandits on the land of China. We are powerless despite our willpower. What's more, bandits are not within our scope of authority.
If you encounter someone who hits the muzzle of the gun, just kill him without hesitation. We don’t care about anything else. We don’t even care about the things in front of us! We have more than enough ambition but not enough power!"
