The first thousand two hundred and fifty-five chapters sound east and west
"What a shameless bandit, why are you so dishonest! Didn't we give them a meeting gift?!"
When they heard that Camp No. 7 had been attacked by bandits, not only had their houses been burned down, but the newly sown land had also been destroyed, the officers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps were filled with indignation and very angry.
"It's useless to say anything now. The most important thing is to send people to rescue immediately to prevent bandits from searching the mountains and taking the hiding people as hostages to threaten us."
Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen's face was also particularly gloomy. His original intention was to use some benefits to stabilize the bandits, so that after Yang Ling and the others entered the mountain to join forces, they would no longer be afraid of the bandits.
But who knew that these bandits would go back on their word after accepting the benefits, and even attack their farthest camp, No. 7.
"Sir, I will personally lead people there. I will definitely crush these bandits to ashes!"
The murderous battalion commander Zheng Gang took the initiative to ask Ying to attack. He had no good impression of these bandits and wished he could fly over right now and eliminate them all.
"Okay, then take a company of brothers and rush over immediately. You must protect the lives of the people in Camp No. 7."
Zhang Liechen nodded and agreed to the request of battalion commander Zheng Gang. After all, if the people want to settle down in the mountains, a safe living environment must be created.
If this cannot be guaranteed, it may not be long before the people who enter the mountain will fall apart and disappear.
And if the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps loses these people, it will really become a rootless people. When the time comes, they will not be able to find a place to recruit troops, let alone open up wasteland to grow food, build anti-war camps in the mountains, and make a comeback.
"Wait a minute, I think there's something fishy about this matter."
Seeing that the battalion commander Zheng Gang was about to go out to assemble a team for rescue at Camp No. 7, Liu Sheng, the head of the intelligence department, spoke up and stopped him.
"The bandits attacked our farthest Camp No. 7. If we send people to rescue, our headquarters will be empty. If this is a plan by the bandits to divert the tiger away from the mountain, then we will be in danger..."
Liu Sheng analyzed slowly.
Now Zhang Liechen and the others have very limited troops. They are stationed at Heifengkou, a dangerous place into the mountain, to see how many troops they have. Another company and platoon are stationed at the Xiaoqingshan headquarters.
If another company is sent out now, then only one platoon of troops will be left to defend. Once the bandits attack, they will definitely not be able to hold them back for long.
After hearing the analysis of Intelligence Director Liu Sheng, everyone frowned and ran out of ideas for a while.
If we send people to rescue Camp No. 7, then the headquarters will not have enough troops, but we cannot ignore the situation.
"Captain Zheng, take a company of brothers and rush to Camp No. 7 immediately. Protect the people no matter what. As for the safety of the headquarters, I will transfer Deputy Battalion Commander Wang from Heifengkou back."
After Zhang Liechen thought for a while, he decided to transfer a company of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming stationed at Heifengkou back to defend.
Now the headquarters in Xiaoqingshan not only houses the headquarters and units of their Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, but also many factories and equipment that have been evacuated into the mountains. Food and supplies are all here, and there is no room for loss.
"yes!"
After the battalion commander Zheng Gang saluted, he immediately turned around and ran out of the house, while the brothers outside had already urgently gathered in the open space.
"Everyone stand at attention!"
"Take a break!"
"Brothers, our Camp No. 7 was attacked by bandits at night. The bandits burned houses, destroyed the land, and wreaked havoc. Chief Zhang ordered us to rush to rescue immediately!"
Battalion Commander Zheng Gang stood at the front of the team and gave a brief briefing on the enemy situation to the officers and soldiers. When the brothers heard that Camp No. 7 was attacked, they were all furious, and a fierce murderous aura shot into the sky.
"Distribute ammunition now, everyone fastens their leggings, and we will march in five minutes to target Camp No. 7!"
As the boxes of ammunition were brought out and pried open, the brothers quickly stepped forward one by one to fill their bullet bags, and grenades were tied to their waists one by one.
The brothers acted quickly. In just a few minutes, battalion commander Zheng Gang led a reinforced company and more than 160 officers and soldiers to leave the headquarters in Xiaoqingshan and headed straight for Camp No. 7 along the mountain road.
When the battalion commander Zheng Gang and others left, several communications soldiers also hurried to the outpost position at Heifengkou to transfer a company stationed there back for defense.
"Immediately send people to various civilian camps to ask them to strengthen their vigilance to prevent bandits from attacking."
Camp No. 7 was suddenly attacked by bandits, which reminded Zhang Liechen that bandits could not be trusted, so he was worried about the safety of the other camps.
"We only have one platoon left in Xiaoqingshan. Once the bandits invade, we will be in a passive state. I suggest that we immediately switch to combat status and organize the two private militia teams in Xiaoqingshan into a company, which we will unify
command."
"I agree. Distribute ammunition to them immediately and prepare for battle."
...
As the bandits attacked Camp No. 7, the atmosphere in Xiaoqingshan suddenly became tense.
Not only the officers and soldiers of the remaining platoon entered a fighting state, but also the militia team distributed ammunition in case of emergency.
While Zhang Liechen and others were busy responding to various emergencies, in a leeward ravine not far from Xiaoqingshan, a large number of bandits were hiding in a dark area.
Wang Laohu, the leader of the bandits in Hutou Village, and the others had been preparing for almost a week before they were ready to attack Zhang Liechen and the others in Xiaoqingshan.
During this period, the bandits not only replenished their weapons and ammunition, but also made careful and detailed plans.
The first attack on Camp No. 7, which is farthest from Xiaoqingshan, was part of the bandits' plan. Once Zhang Liechen and others sent troops to rescue, their people who were ambushing near Xiaoqingshan would attack Zhang Liechen and his headquarters.
There is also a group of bandits lying in ambush on the way to Camp No. 7. There are also bandits responsible for blocking the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps at Heifengkou to prevent them from returning for reinforcements.
The bandits' plan was very thorough. There were people responsible for causing chaos in Camp No. 7, there were people ambushing them in the mountains, and there were people calling for reinforcements. The whole plan was flawless.
The bandits have already figured out the strength of Zhang Liechen and the others in this week. It can be said that they are sure of victory if they can successfully eliminate Zhang Liechen and the others and seize the finances they brought into the mountain.
"The boss, the boss, those soldiers have moved! A large group of people have gone to rescue."
Wang Laohu, the head of Hutou Village, took several bandits from the mountains and hid in the col near Xiaoqingshan. When Zhang Liechen sent people to rescue Camp No. 7, the bandit spies hiding nearby hurried back to report
News.
After hearing what the spies said, several bandit leaders became excited: "Master Wang, let's go up. There are not many soldiers in Xiaoqingshan now. We can take it down in one go!"
"We at Jackdaw Village are willing to take the lead!" A bandit leader was eager to give it a try.
"What are you in a hurry for? Wait a minute."
Compared with the anxiety of these bandit leaders, Wang Laohu, the head of Hutou Village, looked nonchalant.
"I said Mr. Wang, what are you waiting for? The North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps in Xiaoqingshan can now be said to be undefended."
"Their reinforcements have just been sent out and haven't gone far yet. What if there is a battle in Xiaoqingshan now and they turn back?" Wang Laohu rolled his eyes at the anxious bandit leaders and said.
"That's right. Then wait a little longer?"
"Just wait, the meat is already covered in the pot, can it still fly?"
