Returning to the conference hall, Han Baihang, Liu Erhei, Zhou Qing, the third platoon leader, Xu Shihou, and Hou Zhao were sitting at the conference table.
"We now have an army, equipment, and sufficient supplies. I think we can start preparing to suppress the bandits." Xu Shihou was the first to speak.
"Indeed, everything is ready now. All we need to do is give the order. Right, battalion commander?" Hou Zhao looked at Han Baihang.
"What have the major bandits done recently?" Han Baihang looked at Zhou Qing.
"The spies reported that on the day after we posted the recruitment notice, three major bandit leaders gathered together to discuss that as long as we affected their interests, the three major bandit leaders would organize a large-scale invasion of Yongcheng." Zhou Qing mentioned the first few.
The news from Rishan Mountain revealed to everyone.
"So as long as I stand still, both the soldiers and the bandits will be fine!" Han Baihang glanced at the crowd with a leisurely expression.
Do the battalion commanders want to live in peace? Listening to Han Baihang's thoughtful tone, there was some doubt. Han Baihang's next sentence dispelled everyone's doubts.
"Then I haven't trained in vain?"
"That's right, soldiers are soldiers and bandits, how can they coexist peacefully?" Hou Zhao said excitedly. The soldiers and bandits were safe and sound, which is not Han Baihang's character at all.
"It's a little too arrogant to do it openly. Let's do it secretly. You can't let me destroy the peace on the surface!" Han Baihang looked casual.
Han Baihang is so evil, the three bandits will be in trouble.
On a murderous night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, ten men dressed in black and wearing black veils quietly sneaked into the bandit's village in black. Several black figures walked along the wall to a door and put the glass bottles in their hands into the house.
All the liquid was poured in front of the door in front of him, and the liquid flowed into the crack of the door. The man in black at the head blew the fire stick in his hand and threw it into the room. Seeing the fire, several black figures immediately ran away.
"Master, master, it's not good, it's not good, the warehouse is on fire, the warehouse is on fire." A minion shouted in panic and ran towards the room of the black-clothed bandit leader.
"The first boss, the first boss, and the third boss were killed." Another minion came running from the west wing.
The village was suddenly in chaos, with cries, shouts, and fire-fighting sounds coming and going.
The next day, everyone was talking about yesterday's fire in Heiyi Village.
"Have you heard? The warehouse of Black Clothes Village caught fire last night, and several tons of grain and grass were burned to ashes."
"Hey, I've heard about it too, it's really satisfying!"
"I heard that Old Man Li's daughter also came home yesterday."
"Really? Old Man Li is just such a daughter. Now that she is back, she can provide for Old Man Li until the end of her life."
"I heard that Old Man Li's daughter was forcibly snatched away by the third boss of the black-clad cottage."
"Yes, yes, it seems that the third master of the black-clad cottage was killed yesterday."
"Really! That's really how to eliminate harm for the people! It is said that the third head of the family always rapes the daughters of the people, and he has harmed the daughters of many families."
Hou Zhaofeng rushed into the meeting hall angrily, slapped the table, and asked happily: "Have you heard? The bandits' den was burned down."
Everyone in the meeting hall looked at Hou Zhao in a funny way. Hou Zhao looked at everyone with a clear look on his face, showing no curiosity at all.
"Did the special forces do it?"
"The reaction is not slow!" Everyone burst into laughter.
The other two major cottages also heard the news. Heiyi was the strongest among the three, and the strongest people were quietly attacked. Only Han Baihang had such strength in Yongcheng. It seemed that Han Baihang was going to start the suppression.
It was a bandit, but Han Baihang wanted to suppress the bandit, so why didn't he just attack the mountain stronghold openly, but instead carried out a sneak attack like this?
Both cottages have strengthened their defenses, with two guards stationed at night watch to protect the warehouses. The third boss was killed because he raped a girl, so the issue of casualties can be relaxed a bit.
"Batalion Commander, are we still taking action tonight?" Xu Shihou came to Han Baihang's office to receive orders.
"Action, of course we have to take action, why not?" Han Baihang asked Xu Shihou confidently.
"Yesterday's incident has spread like wildfire. If we take action now, wouldn't we fall into a trap?" Xu Shihou said.
"As the saying goes, we are caught by surprise. We just attack directly now. The opportunity cannot be missed and will never come back. Besides, we have strong troops and horses now, so there is nothing to fear!" Han Baihang said confidently.
"Okay! Then I'll make the arrangements first!" Xu Shihou hurried away.
In less than half a day, Xu Shihou rushed back with the recruits and special forces.
"Brothers, everyone knows what I have released, but these bandits still do not know what is good and what is good, so it is necessary for us to teach them a lesson."
"Let them know that as long as I, Han Baihang, are here and my brothers are here, the banditry will be put down."
"As the saying goes, the day before raising troops is spent in one moment. I have seen the training situation in the past few days. Now, it is time for actual combat!"
Han Baihang said with great enthusiasm: "I hope Dajia can overcome the fear in his heart, defeat himself, and be a good soldier! Do you have confidence?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" the soldiers shouted excitedly.
"Okay, veterans, please pay attention. You must protect the new recruits, lead them well, and remember to give them experience during the battle. We are a family, and we must unite with each other!"
The recruits were deeply moved by Han Baihang's words. They all knew that they were following a good commander, so they respected Han Baihang even more.
Because Han Baihang's repeated sneak attacks and harassment against the bandits aroused the hatred of the bandits, and the bandits began a large-scale invasion of Yongcheng.
"The military is a major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must observe it." ("The Art of War" by Sun Tzu)
The military is the backbone of safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as stabilizing society. Bandits, robbers, and people who rob property are also people who undermine the social stability of the country and endanger the safety of people's lives and property. It is God's destiny for officers and soldiers to catch thieves and suppress bandits.
Geographical matters.
Since the bandits wanted to attack openly, Han Baihang didn't have to do these seemingly peaceful things.
Although Han Baihang had made great achievements in suppressing bandits before, he now had to spend a lot of resources to deal with these bandits, and some people also expressed doubts about Han Baihang.
Most of the previous sayings were "a family of soldiers and bandits".
For bandits, after all, banditry is illegal and not a glorious profession. Living in fear all day long, joining the army from a bandit is a legitimate way out. Especially for the big bandit leader, who has joined the army from a bandit and transformed from a wanted criminal to a government official.
Military officers enter the political world and become big bosses who influence the political situation. They are also a springboard to get ahead. As the saying goes, "If you want to be an official, you must first become a bandit and then recruit peacekeepers." First become a bandit and then recruit security guards, and then become an official. This is how violent people in the world make their fortune.
There is a shortcut to becoming a leader and becoming a leader. Therefore, there are stories in history that bandits asked the government to recruit them, and if they did not recruit them, they would fight to the death with the government and the army.
For ordinary minions, being a bandit is a high-risk and high-yield occupation, while being a soldier is much more reliable. Based on the monthly income of 8 yuan for soldiers during the Beiyang Warlord period, that is 96 yuan a year, which is equivalent to a Sichuan farmer who cultivates 100 acres of land.
The income of a family of five. (Same as above) In 1927, the annual living expenses of the upper-class farmers were 75 yuan, the middle-class farmers needed 55 yuan, and the lower-class farmers needed 35 yuan. (Excerpted from "Oriental Magazine" Volume 24, Issue 16) Being a soldier not only solves
It is natural that "serving as a soldier and eating food" has become the first choice of bandits and poor farmers.
During the Beiyang period, many of the soldiers were originally bandits, and many of the bandits were originally soldiers. They may have been fellow townsmen, relatives, or former "colleagues" or "classmates" and had frequent contacts. The official army's suppression of bandits was "
"One's own family beats one's own family", because of the relationship between hometown, blood, career, and study, someone below spread the word and suppressed it without destroying it.
Officers are also happy to give favors and allow bandits to fund themselves. As long as the bandits exist, their troops will not be disbanded and they will have official positions and pay. They even falsely report arms and ammunition to their superiors, and sell the excess to the bandits for personal gain. Bandits
He also clearly understands that they are like grasshoppers on a rope, and compares them to soldiers and bandits: "As for your nature as a soldier, if you are not a soldier, you will be a bandit. You and I are one family, so don't discriminate against each other."
Under the rules of the game of victory and defeat of bandits, if the army loses, the bandits will be used, and if the bandits win, the soldiers will be used. The imperial court will call the rebellious Jianghu people bandits. For example, the Qing court once called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom "Cantonese bandits."
However, once the rebels defeated the official army and seized the world, they in turn called the remnants of the original imperial court "bandits" and wiped them out at all costs, which was called "suppression of bandits." Therefore, soldiers and bandits are actually like kitchen knives.
, you are right to say it is a kitchen knife, you can also say it is a killing weapon, the key is who uses it, and the kitchen knife is nothing more than a tool, the title does not change its purpose of cutting.
.As for some governments that fail to manage their military, the troops become bandits and become licensed bandits. They take all the gangsters, white and red, and occupy a dock to make a fortune like the bandits and underworld, or open casinos and brothels, and collect protection fees. Bandits
He also did what he did, and he did it openly and openly. The army was darker than the bandits, so it was easier for the people to give the impression that "soldiers and bandits are one family."
