Sheng Jiu quietly went to the northeast of Huangqi Town with his men and horses, and made an unannounced visit for a few days, and indeed found a very good mountain, which fully met their requirements, and the place was also large, and the mountain was steep, but now it has been occupied by a group of bandits. Originally, Sheng Jiu didn't take this gang of bandits seriously, thinking that his more than 400 people and horses would not be able to take this cottage with a single move.

But after understanding, I realized that it was not so easy, the relationship was complicated, the most important thing was that this gang of bandits was now in friction with the Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

It turned out that the leader of this gang of bandits was called Zeng Lianhai, who was also quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and led sixty or seventy bandits to occupy this Qingfeng Ridge, it turned out that they were mainly in the devil's freight yard to make a small fuss, from time to time to grab a little supplies, or pick up the train to grab the goods on the car, but within a few months, the devil pulled up barbed wire near the railway, laid mines, and at the same time sent additional armored vehicles to escort and patrol the guards, which basically cut off Zeng Lianhai's financial route. After suffering a few losses. Zeng Lianhai had to give up the business of the freight yard, because the loss was too great, he was killed and dozens of people were killed, and the devil's defense was still strengthening. So I had to give up.

Without a way to make money, this gang of bandits had to go to rob homes and houses, and began to harass the people nearby, the area of their activities happened to be close to the location of the second regiment of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, because the eight regiments of the Eighth Route Army, the second regiment had the least number of people, so it was stationed in the most remote northeast corner, where even the plainclothes team did not come much, and if there was anything to retreat, it could enter the mountain, which was much safer than Xiao Zhenbei.

This area is located in the middle of nowhere, and the consciousness of the common people is not as high as Yuanbao Village, so they do not have their own armed forces, which gives Zeng Lianhai an opportunity to often harass several villages in this vicinity. In order to protect the interests of the common people, the Second Regiment tried to defeat this gang of bandits several times, but it was unsuccessful. Because Zeng Lianhai was unwilling to clash with the regular troops of Rolling Jun and the Eighth Route Army, they fled when the Eighth Route Army came, so the Second Regiment has never been able to fight this gang of bandits head-on.

I want to go to his old nest Qingfeng Ridge, but I didn't expect that this cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can't be attacked at all, unless it is bombarded with artillery, but how can the Eighth Route Army be willing to use limited shells to deal with such a small group of bandits, it is not a few shells that can solve the problem.

Finally, in the process of a robbery, this group of bandits finally faced the Eighth Route Army, I didn't expect their combat effectiveness to be very strong, although there are no heavy weapons, but the marksmanship is accurate, the combat experience is rich, the most surprising thing is that they also have four gunners with tacit understanding, although it is not a sniper rifle, but all Hanyang made. However, there were no missed shots at a distance of 400 meters, and these four people were always in ambush in a very orderly manner, echoing each other, and lined up in the shape of a fan, forming a large shooting range. The 2nd Regiment did not take advantage of this battle at all, and several fighters were killed and wounded. The gang of bandits calmly retreated to Qingfeng Village.

Xiao Zhenbei also had a headache for this matter, let's fight, there is really no problem in gathering three regiments to take down this gang of bandits, but the casualties will be very large, and mortars must be used, but now the shells in the regiment are very nervous, and it is really a bit difficult to use on this gang of bandits. Let's not fight, this gang of bandits is becoming more and more rampant now, and the harm to several surrounding villages is too great, and the common people are already complaining, and it is also quite unfavorable to the bandits of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Sheng Jiu and they came, they first met with Xiao Zhenbei, and Lao Xiaohe Zhang Guangzu still received Sheng Jiu and them very warmly, after all, everyone robbed Fang Tong Town together, and Xiao Zhenbei also got a lot of armaments and living materials for this.

In fact, Xiao Zhenbei and Zhang Guangzu are also very worried about Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu, since Kato defeated Heifengling, Xiao Zhenbei has not heard from Zhuang Quan, and he also sent a pony to Fangtong Town to investigate, but Zhuang Quan was not found.

Now that they see Sheng Jiu, they are very happy to know that although they have lost more than half of them, they have all successfully withdrawn, and of course Chu Ying has also withdrawn, they are even more relieved! But after hearing about Shan Erhu's disappearance and Xinghua's sacrifice, I still felt very sad, after all, Shan Erhu and Xinghua have been here several times, and they are already very familiar. Especially Shan Erhu has a straightforward personality and very good personnel, and everyone likes him.

When Sheng Jiu proposed to take Qingfengling and replace it, Xiao Zhenbei and Zhang Guangzu looked at each other, and did not make decisions without authorization, it was the jurisdiction of the Second Regiment, and they were not good at making decisions. Xiao Zhenbei invited the second and third regiment commanders over and sat together to discuss this matter. Unexpectedly, the second regiment commander directly rejected Sheng Jiu's request, he couldn't eliminate a group of bandits, and then help up a group of bandits, right? Besides, the second regiment commander also has his own ideas, if he fails to defeat Qingfeng Ridge, but is taken down by Sheng Jiu, then where will he, the regiment leader's face, go?

Sheng Jiu was not happy anymore, the bandits who opened their mouths and closed their mouths made Sheng Jiu very uncomfortable to hear, and immediately had an argument with the second regiment leader, or Xiao Zhenbei hurriedly persuaded the two of them, and the second regiment leader left with a popular hum.

"Captain Sheng! I think...... Let's talk about Zhuang Quan, right? After all, Zhuang Quan and several of our regiments have intersections, and the soldiers admire him a lot, and you also understand that Zeng Lianhai's gang is not easy to deal with, his brother gunner is very powerful, and the cooperation is very tacit, and the location of everyone's ambush is very orderly. These four people alone are worth the combat effectiveness of a company! Zhang Guangzu said very implicitly.

"Alright! Then I'll go back and talk to my brother about it! Sheng Jiu also knew that his reputation was not very good, after all, he was a giant bandit in the past, and he did not do less to kill people and sell goods. And he also felt that Zhuang Quan had to deal with these four gunners!

Zhuang Quan is now staying in the tent a little absent-minded, and he has been thinking about Shan Erhu in his heart, so this time Sheng Jiu went to Huangqi Town, he didn't go out, I thought it was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect Sheng Jiu to come back with a disgraced face, which made Zhuang Quan very surprised. After listening to Sheng Jiu's detailed explanation, Zhuang Quan understood that the situation was quite complicated.

Zhuang Quan walked back and forth in the tent, and thought for a long time before saying, "In this way, let's go again, and bring all the people with us this time." The province ran back and forth! ”

"Huh? So what if you can't get along with the Eight Roads? Sheng Jiu asked in surprise.

"Whether we can talk about it or not, staying here is not a long-term solution, it's a big deal that we go to the mountains again, and it's not just a mountain like Qingfeng Ridge. If the Eighth Route Army doesn't agree with our Daqingfeng Ridge, then let's go to another place to set up another mountain, and then Qingfeng Ridge may come to show us goodwill! Zhuang Quan said with a smile.

"Haha! That's right, why do we have to agree to it! Good! We'll leave tomorrow! Sheng Jiuyi said with a thumbs up.

"Hmmm! We'll go back in a few days, or they'll think we're in a hurry, so let's dry them for a few days! Zhuang Quan shook his head and said.

"Good! Listen to you, brother, you really have something hidden inside! Hahahaha! Sheng Jiu said with a big smile.

"But! Those four gunners are very worthy of our attention, listen to what you said, this kind of cooperation of these four people is not simple, don't look at it as a sniper rifle, but be careful! Zhuang Quan was also a little jealous of these four gunners.

"It's up to you to clean them up! I can deal with Zeng Lianhai, this kid plays a Tang knife very well, but he is too good a woman, I don't know if his kung fu has grown in the past few years! Sheng Jiu said eagerly.

"Oh? Still a master? ”

"Yes! But it's not as good as Jian Xun! ”

……

Shan Erhu's treatment has improved in recent days, He Laohan did not let him go outside to help with odd jobs, and at the same time increased the amount of Shan Erhu's three meals, because there was no meat, oil and water, Shan Erhu's meal volume increased significantly.

Shan Erhu is responsible for filling the water tank every day, and then goes up the mountain to chop wood, and he is too lazy to be with the old man and his family, he feels that He Laohan's family is too aggrieved, and he is angry when he looks at it, if it weren't for He Laohan, he would have a gun in his hand now. Shan Erhu sat on the hillside and was thinking about the box cannon, the feel, the action, and the hand-throwing gun, why is it so familiar, so energetic, the whole person is different! Alas, it's a pity that now he has become a farmer again!

Holding the magazine that was unloaded last time, there were still nine bullets in it, Shan Erhu looked at the bullets that could be Huang Cancan, and he felt comfortable in his heart, and always subconsciously made the action of pulling out the gun from his waist.

Shan Erhu didn't know, after he pulled out the magazine of the boar's box cannon, the two guys of the boar and the thin monkey began to have bad luck, and then went to rob the house with a gun, and at first they could bluff people, but after a long time, they were seen by others, and they dared to take a broken gun without a magazine to scare people. They were riding on other people's wives just now! In the end, not everyone can bear it as much as He Laohan!

After being beaten four times in three days, the boar was stunned for a while, and the thin monkey had two teeth knocked out, and there was nothing to eat for a day.

"! It's all that stupid big guy, who made Lao Tzu so miserable! The boar lay there and snorted.

"Big brother! Why don't we go back to town and buy some bullets? We've grabbed fifty oceans in the past few months! Skinny Monkey asked.

"Where to buy it? Bullets are now 1,000 rounds in a hundred oceans, and you can't buy them if you don't know anyone. Who gave you the odds, and besides, if we bought bullets with this money, there will be nothing left, and I still think that I will live in the town in winter! The boar said annoyedly.

"What then? Now that there are no bullets, this thing can't bluff people, huh? The thin monkey said distressedly.

"We're going to have to snatch the bullet back from that stupid big man's hand, huh! In this way, I know a master, who is a real bandit, with his own mountain, and there are more than 20 people under his hands! Let's ask him to make a move, go to the old man's place and grab another handful! This time, I have to slaughter that stupid big guy! And that big girl, hehe......" said the boar with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Okay? Don't rob people yet, we were robbed by this gang of bandits first! The skinny monkey asked worriedly.

"It's okay! That guy used to work in the Imperial Army, and he stole a few guns and ran to the mountains to pull up the mountain, and I helped him take the guns out of the town at that time......" The boar said confidently.
