Qingfeng Village is located on a steep and dangerous mountain. The bandit leader Wei Heihu brought out most of the strong bandits, leaving only a small number of people staying in the village.
However, sentries were placed at strategic points on the path leading to the mountain village, and a machine gun was placed on the mountain road to block the way.
Yang Ling and the others, led by the captured bandits, reached the foot of Qingfengzhai Mountain in a short time. The brothers of the two companies did not rest all the way and were sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"Rest in hiding and place the guard post three hundred meters away." Yang Ling did not immediately order an attack, but asked the brothers to rest on the spot first.
Although the interrogation of the captured bandits along the way gave them a clear picture of the situation in Qingfeng Village, he would not listen to the bandits' words. If the bandits cheated, unnecessary casualties would be caused.
After letting the brothers rest in hiding, Yang Ling selected more than a dozen brothers from the reconnaissance platoon to personally investigate the surrounding area in the dark to verify what the bandits said.
Seeing Yang Ling being so cautious, the bandits who led the way were also frightened. Fortunately, he was telling the truth. If he had told a lie, his life would have been lost.
"This guy has really damn eyes. This mountain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if you choose this place as a bandit's nest, even if you come with a group, you may not be able to attack it in an instant."
Hidden under the cover of night, the mountains of Qingfengzhai are as steep as a knife and an ax. Liu Yidao had to admire the vision of the bandit Wei Heihu.
"If we didn't have two brushes, they would have been wiped out a long time ago, but they are too old to make trouble, and they are so bold that they dare to rob our arms. It is bad luck for them to fall into our hands today." Yang Ling said with a smile.
Liu Yidao looked at the dark and steep mountains with his eyes shining: "That's true. I just don't know what good things are in this bandit's den. Let's rob the rich and give to the poor today."
"Let's go, go back first." Yang Ling didn't answer Liu Yidao's words. After feeling the situation almost, he turned around and walked back.
Although the bandit village that Wei Heihu chose was in a dangerous terrain, and he himself was considered a figure, he should never have noticed Yang Ling and the others.
Although they are not strong enough to fight bloody battles with the Japs on the frontal battlefield, they are still regular troops and are more than enough to deal with some ragtag bandits.
"Besides the mountain road in front, is there any way up the mountain?" Yang Ling went back and separated the bandits who led the way for interrogation.
"No, just this way up the mountain." The bandits were pointed at guns at this moment, their faces turned pale with fear, and they all gave similar answers.
Since there is no other way, we can only attack from the front mountain road. Fortunately, we can't see too far at night, so we won't be discovered by the bandit sentries all the way.
The attack plan was quickly determined. Zhang Heizi led a platoon of brothers and took the bandit prisoners forward, preparing to deceive the bandit sentries on the mountain road, while the other brothers followed closely behind.
The bandits don't have many people left to guard the village. As long as they deal with the sentries on the mountain road, they can easily capture it.
"I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins and cooperate with us to take down the sentry on the mountain road. We will let you go when the time comes. Raise your hands if you are willing to go."
Yang Ling did not force the captured bandits, but offered them conditions.
"I'm going! I'm going!"
The composition of this group of bandits is complex. There are both street bandits and local gangsters who join the bandit. Of course, there are also refugees who cannot survive and are willing to work for the bandits, and these people belong to the last category.
When they were caught by Yang Ling and others, their faces were ashen and they thought they would be shot. But now that they had a chance to survive, they were not willing to let it go, and they all raised their hands to atone for their sins.
Yang Ling didn't want to embarrass them. In this era of war and chaos, some people became soldiers in order to make a living, and some people fell into the trap. It was not their fault, but they were born in the wrong era. A small person in such an era of constant bombardment
, it’s not easy to survive.
"But don't try to play tricks. Who wants to warn people on the mountain? Our guns don't recognize people."
Seeing that the captured bandits agreed so simply, Liu Yidao's resentment of capsizing in the sewer still hadn't dissipated, so he gave a fierce warning.
"Sir, sir, we don't dare, we don't dare." Seeing Liu Yidao's fierce gaze, several bandits nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"Heizi, take them up first and be smart." Yang Ling waved to Zhang Heizi who was squatting over there to suppress the bullet.
"yes!"
Although Zhang Heizi was born in the security corps, after fighting tough battles one after another, he has acquired the style of a tough soldier. He is straightforward and decisive in doing things without any sloppiness.
Several captured bandits took the lead, and the brothers turned on their gun safety and climbed up the slippery mountain road.
Not long after walking, a cold shout rang out from the darkness on the mountain road.
"who!"
"What is the ghost howling? It's me!"
Although the captured bandits were submissive in front of Yang Ling and the others, at this moment they were back to their usual arrogance.
"It's Lao Wang. Didn't you follow the boss out? Why are you the only ones back? Where is the boss?"
A gun-wielding bandit sentry flashed out from behind a big tree on the mountain road. Looking at the returning bandits, he put away his gun and asked.
"We are in the back. We have made a fortune this time and got a lot of good goods. The boss asked us to come back and call the brothers down the mountain to help transport them back to the mountain." The bandit who spoke said that he approached the armed bandit sentry.
"What good stuff? Are there any women?" When the bandit sentry heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Yes, yes, I just don't know if you can bear it or not -" the bandit said as he came closer and pressed the rifle to the chest of the bandit sentry.
"Old Wang, what are you doing? Move away quickly, be careful the gun goes off..."
Facing the shell gun pressed against his chest, the bandit sentry was also stunned.
But before he finished speaking, several other bandits had already started to shoot him. He realized something was wrong and was about to shout, but his mouth was covered by a big hand.
"If you don't want to die, just shut up!" The gun muzzle was pointed, and the bandit sentry immediately did not dare to make any more changes.
Zhang Heizi and the others saw that the bandit sentries were being controlled, and they also followed from behind. Seeing these regular officers and soldiers with guns and live ammunition, the bandit sentries knew that they were doomed.
Yang Ling and the others followed the same pattern and quickly cut off all the five or six sentry posts on the mountain road, and then quietly entered the stockade.
The bandits in the village were sleeping soundly, snoring loudly, and with a bang, one door after another was knocked open.
"Don't move! You are surrounded!" Amidst the scoldings, all the bandits who stayed behind became prisoners in a daze.
Yang Ling and the others, on the other hand, easily eliminated this bandit den that was a headache for the local police station without firing a shot.
Without Yang Ling's instructions, the brothers began to search for loot from house to house by familiar means.
