The first thousand two hundred and twenty-eight chapters of Lao Jiu's intelligence
More than a dozen villages under the control of Black Wolf Village can no longer squeeze out food. Facing increasingly difficult days, these bandit leaders are all worried.
"Master, I heard that life in Luowang Village is good, why don't we take care of them?"
Facing the silent crowd, a bandit leader thought for a while and put forward a suggestion of his own.
After hearing the bandit leader's suggestion, the other people's eyes lit up, and they secretly cursed themselves for not thinking of this.
They were bandits with more than 300 troops. Since they couldn't get supplies from the local villages, how could a living person be allowed to urinate to death?
"I think it will work. Last time the people from Luowang Village crossed the border and robbed one of our villages, we still haven't settled the accounts. This time we just killed them all and took over their territory." A bandit leader immediately agreed.
"I think we still have to be cautious about this matter. There are more than 200 people in Luowang Village. Although there are fewer people than us, I heard that they bought two mortars from the defeated soldiers. That is not a joke.
For play."
Although some people suggested that another bandit den should be closed down, some bandit leaders expressed concern and thought it was prudent.
"I don't agree with attacking Luo Wangzhai. Let's not talk about the opponent's two mortars. Even if there are no mortars, I'm afraid we will lose both sides."
A bandit leader looked around and said, "Let's not fight with the snipe and the clam for the fishermen's profit when the time comes. The surrounding villages are not good, and they will definitely come up to take advantage."
"But if we don't find food as soon as possible, the brothers will have to drink from the northwest wind." A bandit leader shouted.
Jiao Chong, the head of Black Wolf Village, frowned and said nothing while facing the noisy crowd. He was weighing the pros and cons.
There is not much food stored in the stockade now, and it cannot last for a few days. If this continues without new supplies, I'm afraid the stockade will really break up.
Jiao Chong, the head of the family, had finally managed to recruit such a group of people. He had only enjoyed the good life for a few days, so how could he be willing to just break up like this?
However, the land in this mountainous area is already barren and there are many bandits around, so it is really not easy to find food.
"Master, brothers, I'm back."
While everyone was discussing how to get food around the dinner table, a tough bandit with two box cannons on his waist walked in from outside with a figure-footed step.
Seeing this bandit who exuded a tough aura, everyone stood up one after another and greeted him with a smile: "It turns out that the ninth brother is back. Have you eaten yet? Come and take a seat quickly."
The bandit who came back this time was also one of the bandit leaders in Heilang Village, the ninth in the ranking. This time he was responsible for purchasing salt and ammunition outside the mountain.
"Did your trip go smoothly this time?"
Looking at the dusty Lao Jiu, as soon as Lao Jiu sat down, the other bandits started asking questions with concern.
After sitting down, Lao Jiu also told the truth: "This time, I have failed to honor the great trust of the master and brothers. The little devils sealed the block tightly. This time they only bought two thousand kilograms of salt, one thousand rounds of rifle bullets, and eight hundred rounds of machine gun bullets."
..."
Although they are bandits, they also do business. They transport salt and other things from outside to the mountains and then sell them to other villages, which can make a lot of money.
But this time I heard that they had brought back two thousand kilograms of salt. The leaders all felt that it was too little, and they would not be able to sell it for much money.
"Ninth Brother, thank you for your hard work. Come here, bring us two jars of the wine we brought back last time, so that our Ninth Brother can catch the wind and wash away the dust."
As the saying goes, there is hard work without credit, and it is not easy to take huge risks to get these things outside the mountains. The boss, Jiao Chong, immediately smiled and gave loud instructions to the people below.
Soon, the bandits brought several jars of old wine, patted them open, and the aroma of wine filled the air.
The bandit leaders each had a bowl. As the wine bowls clashed and the drinks were consumed, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.
Lao Jiu, who was on a trip to the mountains, recounted what he had seen and heard along the way while drinking, which made the bosses scream in horror.
When Lao Jiu asked about the current situation of the village, the bandit leaders also told the truth.
"Our village is almost out of food?"
Hearing that the stockpile of food in the stockade had bottomed out, Lao Jiu was also stunned. He remembered that when he left, there was a mountain of food and drink, and it took more than a month for the stockpile to bottom out.
"We have so many mouths to eat in our village. We are just sitting here and eating. Since we haven't gone out these days, no matter how much food we have, we will eat it all in one day. We are just trying to find a way to get it. You have just come back. Please rest for a few days. Don't worry about the food.
."
The boss, Jiao Chong, did not blame waste and poor management, but gave a vague reason.
"Master, you are out of touch when you say this. We agreed at the beginning that we would share blessings and share hardships. Now that the village is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch." Lao Jiu waved his hands hurriedly.
"Then Ninth Brother, do you have any solution for food?" Jiao Chong, the head of the family, had no choice but to act as a doctor and asked tentatively.
"Don't mention it yet, I really know a way to get food, but you have to take a little risk." After thinking for a while, Lao Jiu answered.
Hearing that Lao Jiu really had a solution to the food shortage, all the leaders turned their attention to it.
"We live on a knife's edge. It doesn't matter what the risks are. Just say it, Ninth Brother."
Jiao Chong didn't expect that Lao Jiu really had a way out. Like a drowning man grabbing the life-saving straw, he hurriedly asked.
Lao Jiu did not hide it and said: "On the way back, I heard that the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps that occupied the Huaiyin area was defeated by the Japanese and is now escaping into our mountains. They carry more than just food.
, and countless guns and ammunition..."
After hearing what Lao Jiu said, the faces of all the leaders became solemn.
"Those are the Chongqing government troops, and I heard that the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has many soldiers. Isn't it inappropriate for us to take advantage of them?"
Some bandit leaders have backed down, feeling that the risk is not as great as it is ordinary.
"There are many soldiers, Guang Na is an old man. Now thousands of Japanese are chasing them. They have suffered heavy losses, and those who escaped have become homeless dogs. There is nothing to be afraid of." Lao Jiu said with confidence.
The boss, Jiao Chong, was still relatively cautious. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Lao Jiu, is the information reliable?"
"Master, the information is absolutely reliable. They are coming to our mountains now." A look of ferocity flashed on Lao Jiu's face and said: "If we can eat them in one bite, we can get the gold and silver they brought out from Huaiyin."
Jewelry, ammunition and food, then we can recruit more troops, and then this Lunan mountainous area will be our world."
Hearing the prospects described by Lao Jiu, all the bandit leaders began to breathe quickly. They were very excited when they thought that they could dominate Lunan.
"When the time comes, we can eat popular food, drink spicy food, have whatever we want, and it's time to enjoy ourselves."
"But if we beat them, wouldn't we be adding insult to injury and helping the Japanese?" Some leaders also raised objections.
"Humph, there are wars everywhere now. We at Black Wolf Village want to dominate one side. If our brothers want to live a good life, they have to be ruthless and ruthless, but they cannot be as kind as women."
