Chapter 274: Eliminating Evil (Part 2)
On the mountain road north of Tianmen Ridge, more than a dozen bandits formed a line and ran wildly for their lives, and most of them had weapons and equipment in their hands that were thrown away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bandit leader in the middle of the queue was covered with blood stains on his hands and body, and his originally shiny hair was soaked with sweat and blood at this time, and his well-defined face was full of pain, but the pace under his feet was still very fast, and the speed of running down was not slow at all.
More than a dozen outlaws rushed along the steep mountain road, and when they were about to reach the foot of the maple tree at the three-way intersection, a dense burst of machine-gun fire suddenly sounded.
"Dada-da-"
The six people who ran in front of the bandits' "mountain wind" did not have time to wail and fell directly down the high hill on the side of the road, and the seven bandits in the rear were just about to stop and turn to hide, when a dense rain of bullets flew like locusts, and they were beaten one by one so that blood splashed and their whole bodies trembled.
The leader of the bandits, who fell to the ground, "crossed the mountain wind", lay on his back on the mountain road, staring up at the blue sky in a daze, gasping violently, and his face was full of despair. After a while, he pulled out the Browning pistol, which had been tied to his waist for several years, with his intact left hand, pressed it against his temple, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang-"
The crisp sound of the Browning pistol was drowned out by the firing of machine guns and flower machine guns, and the bandit leader "Crossing the Mountain Wind", who had traveled a radius of nearly 100 miles and was famous in the three provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, still had his eyes wide open and looked up at the sky...... Until he died, he didn't know why he was just robbing an ordinary caravan, why was he so violently and resolutely retaliated by the communist army that came to Tingzhou?
In order to deter the heroes of the green forests in Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and also to show the inviolable dignity of the Putian caravan, the battalions and companies of the bandits did not leave a single living under Tian Antai's orders.
At this time, the Tianmenling cottage was still in flames, and the only surviving bandit led the special agent second company assault detachment to the hole behind the cottage, and was also killed on the spot by the bullets fired from the Colt pistol.
Outside Nankou Village, at the southern foot of Beishan, it was crowded with people who looked up at the black pressure.
The fierce gunfire on the mountain had long since stopped, and the thousands of people who were waiting for the news were still reluctant to leave, and the caravan with hundreds of men and horses and more than 50 full carriages set off for Tingzhou City as early as noon, and only one squad of officers and soldiers was still guarding the three crossings at the foot of the north.
……
……
The backyard of the Chenghuang Temple in the north of Tingzhou City is elegant and quiet, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines obliquely on the flat ground through the dense canopy of trees.
Zheng Yi, the instructor and teacher, specially set up a banquet here to entertain the old subordinates Shangguan Yong and Lin Yaokun, who had reunited after a long absence, as well as the hard-working Ninth Uncle and the ninth uncle's junior disciple, Master Deying.
Chief of Staff Wang Huchen, Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Yao, Second Regiment Commander Zhao Jingting, and Third Regiment Commander Duan Xuan happily accompanied, and the hexagonal pavilion under the ancient camphor tree was full.
The sky gradually darkened, and the banquet was full of laughter and interest, and the clever guard Yao Liye hung up two bright horse lanterns.
At this time, Tian Antai, the head of the guard regiment who had completed the task, finally came back, and after greeting the two masters, he happily sat between Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen:
"The matter is done, 336 bandits were killed in this battle, the bandit leader 'over the mountain wind' Zhang Rongli was seriously injured and then pulled out a gun and committed suicide, there are still eight bandits who are not on the mountain, and no one can be found for a while and a half, 133 long and short guns were seized, more than 76,000 pieces of ocean, two boxes of gold bars and jewelry, more than 4,000 horses of silk and foreign cloth, these were brought back, and the remaining more than 50,000 catties of grain and more than 70 bags of salt are still left on the mountain."
Wang Huchen and the others all smiled with satisfaction, and Ninth Uncle Deyun and Senior Brother Deying looked at each other, surprised by the speed and strong combat effectiveness of the instructor's officers and soldiers.
"How many old and weak women and children are there in the cottage?" Zheng Yi asked.
Tian Antai hesitated slightly, but still replied truthfully: "Forty-seven, the spy company and the guards fought too fiercely, the temple occupied by the bandits collapsed, dozens of surrounding houses were on fire, and only two children and four women survived, all of whom were sent to the welfare home in Chaotianmen." ”
The brothers stopped talking, and Uncle Nine picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Tian Antai: "Xiao Tian, it's good!" I really didn't expect you to destroy Tianmen Village so quickly...... This gang of thieves, but the famous giant on the green forest road in Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, was entrenched in one side before, and no one dared to provoke it easily! ”
Tian Antai took the wine glass with both hands, thanked him and said modestly: "Tianmen Ridge looks precipitous, but in fact, it is only about fifteen kilometers from the foot of the North Mountain to the cottage under Tianmen Mountain, it took two and a half hours to go up, and it only took more than an hour to go down the mountain, which is not difficult for our mentor brothers to walk at all. ”
"In addition, the gang of bandits who 'Passing the Mountain Wind' seems to be outnumbered, but in fact they are a group of ordinary bandits with no military foundation, with poor weapons and equipment, and most of the mortars ran away as soon as the mortars went off, even if the strength of such a rabble is doubled, it will not be able to withstand the continuous attacks of our four mortars, more than a dozen machine guns and dozens of sharpshooters."
"The whole process was very easy, and the battle ended in less than fifteen minutes, and only six of the more than 900 brothers in our six companies were wounded, and none of them died."
Uncle Nine was stunned, and Shangguan Yong laughed in a low voice: "I told you a long time ago that the training and combat methods of our instructors are quite special, which are very different from those old armies you have experienced...... What is a mere dozen kilometers of mountain roads? ”
The brothers smiled proudly, and Uncle Nine and Master Deying nodded slightly, becoming more and more curious about this different Red Army instructor.
Zheng Yi sandwiched a piece of bacon for Tian Antai: "Eat, go back and think about what bandit forces are around, if you can absorb it, you can absorb it, and if you can't absorb it, you will resolutely eliminate it, and it will be your guard regiment to conduct actual combat drills." ”
"If it can be absorbed, will it be directly added to our guard regiment?" Tian Antai immediately seized the opportunity to make a request.
Zheng Yi readily agreed: "Yes, but all bandits who surrender to Cheng must pass the review of the Political Department, and the same is true for the Ningdu Security Regiment that Duan Xuan is currently recruiting, after more than 350 captives have passed the political trial, only one hundred and forty-seven people remained, and they will do so in the future." ”
"Where's the political department?" Tian Antai looked at Zheng Yi in surprise, confused. Zheng Yi picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for the two wine and meat monks, Deyun and Deying.
The other brothers were happy but did not speak, and Chief of Staff Wang Huchen had no choice but to explain to Tian Antai: "This is a proposal made by our political commissar Li after discussing with the comrades of the former committee of the base area, and referring to the party committee and political organization of the Red Fourth Army. ”
"According to the opinions of the division commander and Political Commissar Li, our division will formally set up a political department from now on, and Comrade Dong Zongzhuo, who is about to return, will serve as the director of the division's political department, and will have four groups under its jurisdiction: military law, supervision, propaganda, and outreach.
Tian Antai was stunned for a while: "Lao Dong's grandson can't lead troops to fight, but no one can compare to him when he engages in intrigues and tricks, and he is indeed suitable for being the director of the Political Department." ”
The brothers laughed when they heard this, Zheng Yi shook his head while laughing, I have to say that Tian Antai's evaluation of Dong Zongzhuo is very good, but everyone was embarrassed to say it before.
