As the saying goes, you should not allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed, especially when there is suddenly a tiger around who can only eat people, even if he seems to be doing nothing.
While Liu Lang was studying this group of "green forest heroes", which of the bandit leaders in northern Sichuan dared to take Liu Lang lightly, a colonel of an independent regiment wearing the tiger skin of the Central Army?
Liu Lang's personal information is no longer a secret to Huang Qingyuan, Yu Wenlong and other bandit leaders. However, just blowing up the Japanese headquarters with one shot on the Songhu battlefield is not close to good luck.
How shocking. So we should be vigilant, but the "green forest heroes" really didn't take Liu Lang, the colonel commander, to heart because of his luck.
This also caused Huang Qingyuan to feel a mixture of indescribable shock and anger when he learned that the Colonel of the Central Army, whom he did not pay much attention to, had come to suppress the bandit. Then he made an unwise decision.
If time goes forward five years, no, even half a year later, after seeing the performance of the independent regiment led by Liu Lang on the battlefield, this big bandit must have no other ideas and will definitely escape at the first opportunity.
He would not sit stupidly on the mountain and wait for Liu Lang's troops to attack.
As for Yu Wenlong's judgment, although he had guessed it to some extent, it was purely to judge others by oneself. They treated others as bandits and robbed others, and then gave some benefits to the local authorities. The officials and bandits had been enjoying themselves for many years. When he thought about it,
Liu Lang, an official, must be like this.
This is the so-called environment changes people. The environment they live in determines a person's vision and thinking mode. Although Yu Wenlong is regarded as a military man by Huang Qingyuan, the big bandit leader, and the most scheming person among the nearly 2,000 bandits, in fact he is still just a
A bandit even wears the guise of a scholar.
They not only misjudged Liu Lang's true intentions, but also misjudged the speed of their march forward.
According to the forward plan, the two companies spent a full day in Guangyuan. It was only in the early morning of the next day that the two companies marched toward Chonghua Township with great fanfare and without concealment. They walked dozens of miles of mountain roads before being captured.
The eyeliner under Huang Qingyuan noticed that he ran back to report the news to Huang Qingyuan.
Although Huang Qingyuan did not have a mobile phone, a phone or even a radio station, his informants all over the forces still allowed him to obtain a lot of information in advance. A single person walking on mountain roads and taking shortcuts is naturally much faster than an entire army that can only take the main road.
, so Huang Qingyuan made a wrong judgment. After excluding the time for the messenger to report the message, the remaining seventy or eighty miles of mountain road would be enough for them to walk for two days, no matter how powerful Liu Lang's troops were.
Wrong judgment will be punished. From the time they got the news at ten o'clock in the afternoon, to nearly noon the next day, Xiang Xiang and Ling Hong led two companies of recruits, plus two artillery squads supported by the artillery company, and a total of 60 veterans led by Yu Xiancheng.
400 people came to Chonghua Township, which is only seven or eight miles away from Heilong Mountain.
The arrival of the heavily armed troops carrying heavy machine guns and wearing camouflage uniforms undoubtedly frightened the residents of the town. After a period of chaos, the townspeople hid in their homes one after another. The doors and windows of every household were closed, except for one man with a goatee and a
The civilized old man walked over here, accompanied by several men carrying shell guns and long spears on their backs.
"The villain Su Bushu, Tian is the mayor of the town. I wonder which part of the army is yours? Why do you come to the town?" After approaching, the old man barely stopped himself from shaking out of fear, and his face turned pale.
asked.
Although the independent regiment was dressed strangely, its neat formation and sophisticated equipment clearly told the somewhat experienced mayor that it was an army.
"Haha, don't be nervous, Mayor Su. We are an independent regiment of the Second Division of the Central Army stationed in Guangyuan. We are here at the invitation of Commander Liu Cunhou to exterminate the bandit Huang Qingyuan of Black Dragon Mountain." Xiang Xiang said with a smile.
"Central Army? Suppressing bandits?" Mayor Goatee Beard was not surprised. Instead, he was shocked. "How many troops have come from your army?"
"That's what's in front of you."
"No, no, your army underestimates the leader of Huangzhai, no, Huang Qingyuan, he has more than 1,800 people, and the terrain of Black Dragon Mountain is dangerous, you guys can't defeat it." Su Bushu's head just said.
shake.
Obviously, the name of the Central Army did not confuse the mayor. From the fact that he did not dare to call Huang Qingyuan by his name at first, it can be seen that Huang Qingyuan was so fierce in the local area that even the highest local official did not dare to directly address him.
Call him by his name and address him as the Lord of Huang Village.
"Haha, we won't know until we fight whether it's successful or not. I wonder if Mayor Su can get some tea for my brothers first, and then find me someone who is familiar with the situation in Black Dragon Mountain. We need a guide." Moving forward.
He didn't care about the objections of the mayor, who was used to being bullied by bandits, and demanded directly.
"There's no problem with the tea. I'll prepare it for your army right away. I'm just a guide!" Su Bushu looked embarrassed.
The several guards had different expressions, and no one spoke to them.
They are all locals. Who doesn't know Huang Qingyuan's power? This army of several hundred people looks strong, but I'm afraid no one thinks highly of them. Even if these hundreds of people defeat the bandits on Heilong Mountain with powerful guns and artillery, they can guarantee a
Why not kill them all? As long as one of the Four Tigers of the Yellow Sect is gone, when they come back, they will be full of blood. They have done this kind of thing more than once.
"It doesn't matter, we'll leave after drinking the water." Seeing this situation, he didn't force himself to move forward.
When the old mayor left with his guards to get water, Ling Hong came over and said: "These guys can't be trusted. Look at that guy with a deer head and rat eyes. He's been looking at our team for a long time. I'm sure he won't be here for a moment."
Zhong, that guy has to run up the mountain to spread the news."
He smiled slightly and said, "We are resting here just to give them time to leave a message! If those bandits are not in a hurry, Company Commander Liu will be in a hurry."
"Hey, Commander Xiang, if your plan can successfully annihilate those bandits this time, you will become the commander of the first company in the future, and I will fully support you. But I just don't know how Liu Dazhu's side is going?" Ling Hong
He also smiled.
Before Xiang Xiang had time to answer, two people running towards him not far away caught his attention. He squinted his eyes and saw who was coming and couldn't help but smile: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. That's not what you lent to Company Commander Liu."
It’s Cai Dadao!”
It is said that all the green forests in the world belong to the same family. As long as they are not robbing the same batch of goods, the bandits most of the time give up the saying that fellow travelers are enemies, and instead exchange ideas and go back and forth. When Cai Dadao was a bandit in Guangyuan, he was also with the biggest bandit in northern Sichuan.
Liu Dazhu asked Ling Hong to lend him a job as a scout and guide because he had some experience with the bandit leader and was familiar with the geography here.
"Company commander, to the company commander." Cai Dadao, dressed as a salesman, panted and saluted the two men.
"Who is this?" Ling Hong's eyes turned to the strong man carrying a big bow beside Cai Dadao. Although he could not name all the soldiers, this was the first time he met this person who was absolutely familiar.
"Company Commander, this is Brother Shanying, an Orion from Black Dragon Mountain. Company Commander Liu asked him to be your guide." Cai Dadao hurriedly introduced. Seeing that the doubts in Ling Hong's eyes were not gone, he might feel that he couldn't explain in a few words, and he was busy.
Added: "Absolutely reliable."
"How's it going with Company Commander Liu?"
"Everything has been deployed, just waiting for those guys to take the bait."
