The village of Nankou, fifteen kilometers south of Tingzhou, was already in chaos at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As many as 50 caravans of horse-drawn carriages were all gathered around the Land Temple at the entrance of the village, and dozens of corpses and wounded of the caravan guards were messily placed in front of the Land Temple.

Two middle-aged men who looked like monks were leading more than a dozen caravan guards at this moment, hurriedly rescuing the wounded.

More than a dozen young men in black short-cut uniforms were armed with shell guns, scattered around, and their flaming eyes were staring at the mountains to the north.

Dense bursts of gunfire were still heard on the mountainside to the north.

After a while, the horse team composed of more than 200 elite officers and soldiers came from north to south, and the tall man in the caravan guard looked at it slightly, and immediately rushed to the horse team, and announced loudly: "Battalion Commander Tian, the bandits have been repulsed, and Captain Shangguan has led forty brothers to chase up the mountain!" ”

Tian Antai flew off his horse, stepped forward in a few steps, hugged the tall caravan guard, hugged him hard, and then took a step back: "Yaokun, how are the brothers?" ”

"The small pillar was broken collarbone, Li Mingchuan was shot in the lower leg, the other brothers are fine, but the brothers of the caravan suffered a lot of losses, eight died, and more than a dozen are in emergency treatment, except for two carts transporting medicine that were hit by bullets, there was no loss of any other supplies."

Lin Yaokun, the deputy leader of the task force, hurriedly replied.

Tian Antai turned to the brothers behind him: "Company commander, blow the assembly horn!" ”

In less than five seconds, the loud rallying cry suddenly sounded, echoing in the resonance of the mountains for a long time.

The villagers in the village gradually ran out of the house, standing in the distance and looking in astonishment at the three rows of officers and soldiers holding war horses and neatly lined up, the gunfire on the north mountain gradually stopped, and the figures on the mountainside were seen running down the mountain road one after another in the distance.

Lin Yaokun led Tian Antai to visit the wounded in front of the Land Temple.

The middle-aged monk who was called "Uncle Jiu" by Lin Yaokun finished bandaging the wounded, turned to Tian Antai, and saluted with his fists: "There is General Lao!" ”

Tian Antai was stunned: "This ...... Uncle Jiu, are you really a monk? ”

The burly, dark-skinned Ninth Uncle smiled slightly: "I am indeed a monk, Shangguan Yong is a lay disciple of my second senior brother, and also my nephew before I became a monk...... Don't know what to call a general? ”

"Where am I a general! My surname is Tian, Tian Antai, before I left Wuhan, my military rank was captain, and I am currently the head of the guard regiment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army...... Before Shangguan left, I was his battalion commander for half a month, and then our division commander transferred him to his side, and Yaokun spent more time with me. ”

Tian Antai replied embarrassedly.

Uncle Nine nodded slightly, looked around, and said with a relaxed face: "It's not a big deal here, if you die, you will die, dust will return to dust, and it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

Tian Antai was stunned, and Lin Yaokun quietly explained in his ear: "Uncle Nine became a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple in Putian when he was a child, and later entered the Zhejiang Army Lecture Hall for two years, during which he joined the Alliance, participated in the Protector War and the Second Revolution, and then went south to Guangzhou to support the Guangdong army to attack Long Jiguang, and only returned to Shaolin Temple after being injured and officially became a monk." ”

Tian Antai immediately tidied up his military appearance and saluted Uncle Nine with a dignified military salute.

Uncle Nine waved his hand: "You did a good job just now, you blew the trumpet and withdrew the troops as soon as you came, which was very decisive...... In such a situation, there are not many officers who can quickly judge the merits of the battlefield and make decisions, and Shangguan Yong is a little worse than you. ”

"Where, where!"

Tian Antai smiled humbly: "Shangguan is much stronger than me...... According to the words of our division commander, if Shangguan goes through another two or three years of training, he will be able to command a division, while my ability can only command a regiment. ”

This time it was Uncle Jiu's turn to be surprised, and after thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "Interesting, in the past few months, I have always heard Shangguan nagging in my ear, saying that his division commander is a hundred times stronger than him, and I really want to see him!" ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, when you get to Tingzhou City later, you will be able to see our division commander." Tian Antaile said hehehe.

Uncle Nine nodded and pointed to Beishan, who had regained his calm: "What are you going to do next?" ”

Tian Antai said with a smile: "One of my companies has gone around to the north, sealing two intersections, and the two thousand brothers of the second regiment will rush over in an hour at most, and the life of this bandit will not be long." ”

……

……

Thanks to the report of the local people, Zhang Rongbin, the shopkeeper of Chunhui Building, together with more than 100 family members and associates, did not escape.

When Shopkeeper Zhang and several wives and concubines hurriedly packed up the gold and silver, two companies of the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment stationed in the east of Tingzhou City quickly arrived and blocked the entire house, and all of them, including Yu Siye on the upper floor of Chunhui, were escorted to the city prison.

The reason why Zheng Yi treats businessmen well is not that he doesn't know that there are a large number of traitors and criminals among the merchants in Tingzhou, and the people are extremely angry, but he doesn't want to kill so many people at once.

What Tingzhou needs most today is stability and order, not full of depression and panic, and Zheng Yi still understands the strategy of settling accounts after the autumn of Xu Xutu.

However, the second brother of the shopkeeper Zhang is a gangster who has changed the color of the local people, and this kind of thing still makes Zheng Yi pay great attention to it.

Regardless of whether the shopkeeper Zhang is in cahoots with the bandits who have been rampant for many years, he must first control it, not to mention that this "mountain wind" attack is not an ordinary caravan, but a task force under Zheng Yi that has gone through a lot of hardships to open up the trade road in western Fujian.

As various pieces of information came one after another, Zheng Yi's determination to quickly exterminate the bandits' "mountain wind" became firmer.

Following a battalion of the Third Regiment and two companies of the Guard Regiment, Zheng Yizeng dispatched a second company of spies with rich experience in mountain warfare to Nankou Village with four mortars to collect mortar shells from the caravan transportation materials on the spot, and then together with the two companies led by Tian Antai, they attacked Tianmen Ridge, where the bandit cave was located.

At the same time, the infantry battalions of the three regiments, located at the northern foot of Tianmen Mountain, worked closely together to completely block all the passages in and out of Tianmen Mountain.

……

……

At one o'clock at noon, the officers and men of the Second Special Service Company and the two companies of the Guard Regiment directly under the instructor after a full meal, under the command of Tian Antai, divided into two routes and climbed the North Mountain, which was more than 600 meters above sea level, and crossed the mountain col four kilometers away from Tianmen Ridge in just two hours.

Li Liangde, the shrewd deputy commander of the Third Regiment, did not stubbornly defend the foot of the northern foot of Tianmen Ridge, but ordered three companies to climb the relatively gentle mountainside along the three passages at the bottom of the mountain, disperse the line at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, and with the assistance of three guides, completely block the passages down the mountain due north and northwest.

And the east side is all a mountain with thousands of walls, and it is difficult for monkeys to climb, Li Liangde is very relieved, if the bandits on Tianmen Ridge have the ability to escape from the almost vertical mountain, Li Liangde will also admit it.

……

……

Just after five o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun still casts its hot light on the earth.

With the support of mortars, the officers and men of the Second Company of Special Agents, who were heavily armed and drenched, quickly broke through the mountain gate guarded by more than 100 bandits, and quickly approached the bandit cottage under the Tianmen Ridge through the burning trees, dead grass, and dozens of mutilated corpses.

Under the cover of machine-gun fire, the 15 elite members of the sniper detachment rushed forward at a rapid pace, rushed up the gentle slope 50 meters away, and immediately dispersed, hiding behind rocks and trees, and began to snipe accurately.

The mortar detachment quickly moved to a flat area below the machine-gun group, set up four mortars and carried out five rounds of shelling in a row.

"Boom-"

The whistling shells accurately landed in the cottage under the Tianmen Ridge, and the flames and gunpowder smoke instantly covered the craggy Tianmen Ridge.

Most of the more than 200 bandits who were already terrified and fleeing in all directions disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the bandit leader was also cut off half of his palm by shrapnel flying in all directions, and then, under the strong protection of the two bandit leaders, he took the lead in fleeing to the steep mountain road to the north.

As soon as the mortar bombardment stopped, the vegetation and trees above and below Tianmen Ridge were still swaying violently in the blazing air, and more than 200 officers and men who were ready to attack launched a charge.

In less than two minutes, the team occupied the blazing and desolate Tianmenling Cottage, and the surviving dozen bandits had already knelt on the ground and shouted "surrender", and the wounded bandits were rolling all over the ground among the corpses, constantly letting out a terrible wail.
