"Hahahaha! Old pimple, this time we can get big, I didn't expect that Yan Haishan, this kid has really saved a lot of money, there are more than 2,000 taels of silver alone, and now it's all ours. ”

"Did you find Yan Haishan's body?"

"Oh? Not yet. ”

"If you go down, you must search carefully, you must see people alive, and corpses when you die, this time you must not let Yan Haishan go. ”

"Report to the captain, Company Commander Liu sent someone to inform them that they had found Yan Haishan's traces, he was running away from the Xishan ravine with a dozen people, and Company Commander Liu was chasing after him with people, asking the captain to send someone to support. ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded, and immediately turned his head and said, "Brother Zuoxiang, you immediately take the brothers of the 2nd Battalion and rush over to support Company Commander Liu immediately." ”

Zhang Zuoxiang immediately said: "Yes, I'll go right away." ”

After Zhang Zuoxiang left, Zhang Zuolin said again: "Collect all the captured loot, or divide it into two parts according to the old rules, and I'll see it myself later." ”

At this time, Tang Yulin came over and said, "Old pimple, this time the things will be divided into half of the People's Army." ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded and said, "Of course, it's still according to the old rules, second brother, do you have any questions?"

Tang Yulin was a little displeased, and said: "This battle was fought by our brothers, I calculated it, plus this time, we almost killed more than 150 brothers, and more than 300 were injured, and they didn't do anything, no one died, and in the end they had to share half of the victory, why." ”

Before Zhang Zuolin could speak, Sun Liechen said: "Erhu, what you said is not right, how these battles were fought, you should know in your heart, does this company of the People's Army really have any strength? Isn't that the case? If there is no fire support from the People's Army, I am afraid that we will not only die more than 150 brothers, but also die.5 It is not impossible to have 600 brothers, and besides, we have expanded by more than 300 people in these few battles, and this time we have killed Tian Yuben, and we can expand by more than 100 people to say the least, which is completely deserved! As for saying that the People's Army did not have any dead people, to be honest, that was their ability, I have seen it very clearly, and they are not not not unhelpful, but the guns are accurate, they are fast, and they are very skillful, and they hide when they should hide, and they have the fire of mortars and machine guns, and they should not have died, but it cannot be said that they have not contributed their efforts. ”

After taking refuge in the People's Army, Zhang Zuolin led his troops to attack continuously, and he had successively destroyed 4 or 5 bandit forces such as Jinshoushan, Haishazi, Sanzhiyan, and Du Lizi. In these battles to suppress bandits, a company of the People's Army stationed in Zhang Zuolin's unit played a very big role, and whenever the bandits' cottages were attacked, the People's Army used mortars to carry out long-range strikes and suppressed the bandits with machine guns. Whether it is the bandits defending themselves or resisting in the field, they can't withstand the mortar bombardment of the people's army, and when they counterattack, they can't withstand the machine-gun fire of the people's army, so they can't hold on for much time before they are scattered by the people's army, and Zhang Zuolin's troops attack again, often crushing the bandits' team at once, and as a result, after these battles, not only did the people's army have no casualties, but Zhang Zuolin's troops, and the casualties were also greatly reduced.

Although the People's Army did not make any demands on the booty or even prisoners seized after the defeat of the bandits, to be honest, the People's Army did not look down on the several hundred taels of silver and dozens of broken guns seized, but only asked Zhang Zuolin to restrain the discipline of the army, not to harass the families of the bandits, and not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. However, Zhang Zuolin still insisted on giving half of the captured booty and prisoners to the People's Army, because in the first battle to destroy Jinshoushan, Zhang Zuolin saw the strong combat effectiveness of the People's Army, so it also strengthened Zhang Zuolin's belief in following the People's Army, which was also a sign of goodwill to the People's Army. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin also demanded that the contingent must strictly abide by the discipline of the People's Army and must not disobey.

And the People's Army did not refuse Zhang Zuolin's overtures, because now the People's Army is still examining Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin is currently needed to help conquer and suppress the bandits in the Northeast.

However, Zhang Zuolin is also very clear that in this troubled era, his own strength is the most important, not to mention that now he can only be regarded as the foreign army of the East China government, so while showing goodwill to the People's Army, he did not forget to expand his own strength, he selected young and strong personnel from the captured bandits, and incorporated them into his own team, and now has expanded more than 300 people, plus captured guns, so although Zhang Zuolin's team has some damage in these battles, but the strength has been improved to a certain extent compared to the past.

But in Zhang Zuolin's troops, there are still a group of people who are dissatisfied with the People's Army, because these battles are too easy, and the People's Army has only more than 200 people, but they want to take half of the spoils, and they are somewhat unhappy in their hearts, Tang Yulin is one of the representatives.

Although Sun Liechen's words were reasonable, Tang Yulin was still a little unconvinced, and said: "Our People's Army is nothing great, but it is good to rely on the guys, if we have these guys, we can still fight well." As he spoke, he approached Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen, lowered his voice and said: "Old pimple, don't look at the People's Army is treating us well now, that is to use us to exterminate other bandits, let's have a few more eyes, be careful that they unload the mill and kill the donkey." It's better for us to do these people's troops, and grab their mortars and machine guns, I heard that the big nose is going to fight again, and the people's army is going to Harbin to fight with Russia, and they will definitely not care about us, at that time, in the whole Liaodong and Liaoxi, and that silk is our opponent. ”

When Sun Liechen heard this, his face couldn't help but change, he looked left and right, and several guards around him were Zhang Zuolin's henchmen, and he didn't see anyone from the People's Army, so he was a little relieved, and hurriedly whispered: "Erhu, you can't talk nonsense." A few days ago, I specifically asked Company Commander Liu, don't look at the small size of the mortar, but it is not at all easier to use than the artillery, not to mention that it will have to be trained for 2 or 3 months, and the machine gun is not so complicated, but Company Commander Liu told me that the arrangement of the machine gun position can be exquisite, and it is not just left there, don't look at the people's army to use it handy, if it falls into our hands, it is really hard to say how useful it can be, besides, where do the shells and machine gun bullets come from? Bullets, what's the use of snatching mortars and machine guns in your hands. After a pause, he said: "And you don't want to think about it, if the more than 200 people of the People's Army really start fighting, we may not be able to beat them, even if the People's Army wants to fight with the Russians, and if it wants to deal with us, isn't it easy? It will only take 1,800 people to destroy us." ”

Tang Yulin listened to it, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhang Zuolin said: "Second brother, who did you hear those words from just now? Zhang Zuolin knew that Tang Yulin was born in the green forest and had never studied, so he was short-sighted, but his personality was quite righteous, and he was not a material for conspiracy.

Tang Yulin thought for a while and said, "Yes, this is what Wang Jiashun from the treasury said to me a few days ago. ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded and said: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense about these words in the future, the current situation is not as good as a few years ago, the East China government has occupied the three northeastern provinces, although the big nose and the small nose have to fight back, I heard that even Britain and France are going to join the war, but whether they can win the People's Army is still in two words, so as long as the East China government is in power in the northeast, whether it is the green forest or the insurance team in the future, it will not be able to mix, so it is not easy for us to hug this thigh this time." ”

Tang Yulin said: "But what if the People's Army is defeated? What will we do if the big-nosed, small-nosed, British, and French come back? I think it's better to wait until they finish the battle." ”

Zhang Zuolin shook his head and said: "Now that we have taken refuge in the People's Army, if we repeat it again at this time, then what will the People's Army think of us, and if they really win the war, will they still believe in us? Moreover, just over a month ago, Ma Longtan and Feng Linge also joined the People's Army just like us, that is, they were one step later than us; I heard that Wu Junsheng and Du Lisan were also talking to the People's Army about taking refuge, but they did not wait for the People's Army to finish the battle, because it was already too late by then. ”

Sun Liechen also said: "Yes, if you want to talk about this battle, I am optimistic about the People's Army, since they were able to defeat Russia and Japan last time, then they will definitely be able to defeat them again this time." Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the People's Army loses, we may not have no way out, because Russia, Japan, Britain, and France are all foreigners and need locals to help them. Besides, although we have defected to the People's Army, we are not enemies of them, so as long as we have our own strength, we don't have to be afraid of anyone coming. ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "Yes, Brother Liechen said well, and I really hope that the People's Army can defeat the big nose and small nose again this time, and the East China government can stay in the northeast without leaving, no matter what, the East China government is also Chinese, it is better than a big nose or a small nose, that is, it is much stronger than the imperial court, and in the future, if the East China government really enters Beijing and opens a dynasty to build a foundation, we can still be a founding hero." ”

Sun Liechen also laughed and said, "Yuting, this time we want to go together again." ”

Tang Yulin said: "Anyway, I can't figure out so many big truths, your brains are all good, what to do? ”

While everyone was talking, someone came to report that the pursuing troops had killed Yan Haishan and had returned.
