The first thousand two hundred and thirty chapters against the bandits
When deputy captain Yuan Guangtao and several other officers gathered in the house to discuss what to do next, a group of bandits from Black Wolf Village had silently surrounded the village.
That day, Jiao Chong, the head of Black Wolf Village, was immediately moved when he heard that the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps had been defeated by the Japanese and had brought a lot of goodies with them when they broke out from Huaiyin.
As the saying goes, in such a war-torn era, the brave will starve to death and the timid will starve to death. In the end, the leader of Black Wolf Village decided to take a vote.
If this vote is successful, it will not only solve the current food shortage crisis faced by the village, but also make a lot of money.
When the time comes to swallow up the defeated remnants of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and when the Black Wolf Village needs men and guns, it seems that it will not be difficult to dominate the southern Shandong Mountains.
Therefore, in addition to leaving more than 50 people in the village to look after the family, the head of Heilang Village left Heilang Village with more than 200 people under the cover of darkness.
This is not because they are too cautious, but because there are many bandits in this area. If people notice that Black Wolf Village is empty, others will definitely take advantage of it.
Jiao Chong, the head of Black Wolf Village, didn't want his lair to be taken away while he was away, so he came out at night.
They and their group of more than 200 bandits were heading towards the defeated Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps this time, so they changed from their past practice of robbing villages whenever they saw them, and went around them.
They walked all night and planned to find a village to stay during the day. Unexpectedly, the bandit responsible for inquiring about the news reported that there were soldiers in the village. They were not many and they should be the vanguard of the retreat.
Jiao Chong, the leader of Black Wolf Village, immediately decided to eat this small unit of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and took two prisoners to inquire about the news.
By such a strange combination of circumstances, Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, who finally escaped the Japanese's capture and arrived in this small mountain village, was targeted by this bandit.
The person responsible for leading the raid was the bandit leader Lao Jiu. The more than fifty bandits under his command were all powerful elites. In the past year, they had purchased and robbed more than a dozen fancy machine guns and equipped them with them.
It can be said that these fifty or so tough bandits are the most powerful force in Black Wolf Village. They often follow Lao Jiu outside and fight against bandits, local powerful armed forces, and puppet troops, and they have rich combat experience.
More than fifty ruthless bandits were divided into two groups and surrounded this unknown mountain village from the front and back of the village.
Although Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao and the others got rid of the pursuers, they did not take care of themselves and set up sentries in front of and behind the village.
But now that they are out of danger, the soldiers who have been running all the way these days are already exhausted. Although they are at the sentry post, their insight into changes in the surrounding environment has been greatly reduced.
The gangsters quietly moved forward through the trees and surrounding ridges. When they were only ten meters away from the sentry post, they suddenly jumped up and pounced on it like a cheetah.
When the sentry heard the noise and turned around, he saw a black shadow coming towards him, followed by him being knocked to the ground.
Before he could struggle to get up, the sharp blade had already cut into his throat, and a stream of blood spurted out, splattering all over the gangster's face, making the gangster look particularly ferocious.
Several sentries were quietly eliminated by the gangsters, and the gangsters hiding in the distance immediately swarmed up and rushed towards the village.
The sentry on guard in the village was surprised when he saw someone suddenly bursting into the village with a gun, and hurriedly fired a warning shot.
"boom!"
The dull sound of gunfire rang out, breaking the tranquility of the small mountain village. The villagers were stunned and immediately ran to their homes. The resting officers and soldiers also grabbed their guns and ran out of the house.
"Da da da - da da da -"
Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, the gangsters who broke into the village did not hesitate at all and fired at the sentry who fired a warning shot.
"Puff puff!"
The dense bullets swept across, and the sentry's body was shaken wildly, and a puff of blood mist drowned him.
"rush!"
The bandit leader Lao Jiu was also fierce, with a ferocious look on his face, and he led the bandits towards the village.
Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao and several staff officers were having a meeting in the house, discussing a way out, when suddenly the sound of gunshots outside shocked them.
They thought they were Japanese pursuers, so they immediately didn't bother to pack their things, grabbed their guns and ran out of the house.
"Sir! Sir, there are bandits coming in!"
When they just walked out of the house and walked into the yard, a brother covered in blood rushed in. At this moment, the village was already in chaos.
"bandit?!"
When he heard that the pursuers were not Japanese but bandits, deputy captain Yuan Guangtao was also stunned.
"How many are there?" Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao asked hurriedly.
"Dozens!" the brother replied.
"We have few people and cannot defeat them, so retreat quickly!" a staff officer hurriedly suggested.
"What about the villagers in the village?" Du Jiang, the intelligence staff officer, asked.
After they escaped to this village, they heard that they were a team fighting Japanese invaders. The village provided them with food and drink, otherwise they would have starved to death.
"We can't control that much now. Let's run out first." The staff officer who suggested running was anxious to leave this dangerous place.
"If you want to leave, you can leave. We have left so many brothers and people in Huaiyin to the devils. I can no longer leave these villagers who provide us with food and drink to the bandits!"
Intelligence consultant Du Jiang knew that these bandits were ferocious and would often do things worse than animals, so he was unwilling to abandon the villagers.
At this moment, the gunfire outside became louder and louder. Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao thought for a few seconds and then ordered: "I will lead a few people to lure the bandits away. You and your brothers will cover the villagers and run towards the mountains!"
After hearing what Deputy Chief Yuan Guangtao said, Intelligence Staff Officer Du Jiang still didn't know what he meant. He clearly didn't want to stay and die.
"Okay!" But intelligence staff officer Du Jiang agreed without any hesitation.
"You guys come with me!"
Intelligence staff officer Du Jiang pulled out the box cannon from his waist, waved to the dozen brothers who had gathered in an emergency, and rushed out.
"Let's go too!"
Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao watched Du Jiang and the others leaving, and rushed in the other direction with several other staff officers and three guards.
"beat!"
When Du Jiang and others rushed out of the yard, the gangsters had already broken into the village and were searching every house. Du Jiang ordered the attack without hesitation.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
Although there were only a dozen or so people brought by Du Jiang, they were all members of the Guard Company of the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. They were elites. Someone immediately set up the only Czech-style light machine gun and pointed it at them.
The bandits just swept away.
"Puff puff!"
"Ah!"
The machine gunner fired steadily, and although the gangsters who rushed over looked fierce, they were still mortal bodies, just like ripe wheat that fell into pieces.
