Chapter 14: Shoot the Bandit Leader
Falling Eagle Cliff, the tragic battle is still continuing, the dense gunfire continues to kill the bandits with their heads exposed, the roaring and blazing shells tear up a large number of wooden houses, the bandits' stubborn stronghold, is being named one by one by the powerful cannonballs, only half an hour, the gunfire in the bandit group is obviously much smaller, and the Dian army that came to suppress the bandits is becoming more and more courageous, and has begun to climb the halfway up the mountain.

As the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, the leading platoon commanders shouted: "Brothers, get on the bayonet, you must not let these bandits escape"!
"Yes"! The soldiers of the Yunnan army, who were about to be victorious, responded loudly, and a French bayonet with a handle was quickly put on the gun, and with the intensive bombardment of more than ten shells, rows of soldiers of the Yunnan army rushed out with bayonets in their hands.
The bandits entrenched in the stronghold caves, seeing that the densely packed and almost uncountable officers and troops below had already broken their courage and began to retreat, only a small number of bandits were still resisting to the death, but at this moment, the so-called resistance was just in vain.
The remnants of the outskirts were quickly overwhelmed by the army, and those who had given up resistance were captured, while the rest of the troops rushed into the surrounding caves.
The rocks in the cave are abrupt, but it is also conducive to concealment, and the key is that the most powerful artillery fire of the Dian army in this area has lost its power. What's even more troublesome is that almost most of the bandits here are leaders, and naturally they know that there will be no good end if they are arrested, so they simply resist frantically with the surrounding terrain.
The two sides quickly exchanged fire, and for a while the gunfire was deafening, and it was even more roaring in this small cave, but what was even more dangerous was that although this cave was not small, it was not much bigger, and the original advantage of troops could not be expanded. The light in the cave was dim, but the bandits were extremely familiar, and in the fierce battle, several Dian soldiers fell directly under the sound of gunfire.
At this moment, the one in front quickly took out a grenade and threw it out.
"Boom"!
The huge roaring body instantly sounded in this semi-sealed space, and for a while there was no chaos whether the soldiers of the Yunnan army or the bandits were shocked by the roar in their ears, taking advantage of this moment, the two soldiers hurriedly dragged the wounded out, and at this moment, the platoon leader stuck behind the half-human-sized mountain rock and shouted: "Listen to the people inside, immediately lay down their weapons and surrender, we will treat the prisoners preferentially, otherwise they will be killed"!
"Fart! We've already been taken prisoner once, do you think we'll still be willing to be bandits? Brothers, don't you forget what the people did to us after we put down our guns. We would rather die than be prisoners"! A bandit leader shouted.
"Platoon commander, what's the matter? They don't surrender, we rush directly, the casualties are too great"! A soldier asked.
"Use a grenade to blow up Lao Tzu, and rush after the explosion! Whoever resists will be killed"! The black-faced platoon commander said decisively.
As soon as the words fell, several soldiers of the Yunnan army in front quickly tore off their bodies and threw the grenades inside.
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
......
A series of grenades exploded intensively, and some bandits who couldn't dodge in time were instantly blown up into a blur of flesh and blood, and they were lucky enough to escape and were shocked, at this moment, the soldiers of the Yunnan army who had already been prepared rushed out quickly, and some bandits were stabbed to death with bayonets before they had time to react, and some of the more knowledgeable ones quickly put down their guns and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and then did not dare to make the slightest movement...
The battle ended quickly, the stubborn bandits were all killed, and dozens of people surrendered, Zhang Chong on the hillside in the distance glanced through the telescope at the end of the battle, then nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Inform them, quickly take care of the battlefield, collect all their weapons and ammunition, and take care of them in Tengchong City"!
"Yes"!
"Oh, and burn this bandit den for me"!
"Yes"!
......
The gunfire that had lasted all night gradually died out, and the dawn pierced the thick dark clouds, and a new day came. Just one night of fighting, the seemingly powerful rebel bandits collapsed overnight and suffered heavy casualties, in a wasteland on the periphery of Tengchong City, several large pits have been dug, the pits are densely packed with bandit corpses, and the periphery is a dry of people, Zhang Chong glanced at the bandit corpses in the field and then said: "Escort people up"!
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen bandits were escorted up by the five flowers, followed by dozens of bandits with five flowers, but the bandits who came behind were driven to the side, and the escort was the group with a small number of people, and they were also some leaders among the bandits, Zhang Chong walked up to the leading bandit and said: "Remember how I said no to you at the beginning"?
When the leading bandit saw that it was Zhang Chong, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Brigade Commander Zhang's life, we are all forced, and we will not dare next time...
"Even if you make up a lie, don't do it twice! Last time, I said that you would have a chance to be a new person, and let you all be ordinary people, but you are not willing to go back to your old business. Pull them down and kill them"! Zhang Chong said angrily.
"Yes"!
The soldiers on the side stepped forward and almost dragged the more than ten bandits to the edge of the pit and knelt down, and at this moment Wang Bingzhang walked out of the crowd at some point, and behind him was Lu Hai Chen Liang and others. Wang Bingzhang walked up to Zhang Chong and said, "Brigade commander, I have an idea, what do you think?"
"You say"! Zhang Chong nodded.
Wang Bingzhang opened his mouth and said: "A few of them will come to this execution, and by the way, exercise their military blood!"
Zhang Chong smiled, walked in front of Lu Hai, glanced at Lu Hai, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, yes, participating in the war on your own, and killing the bandit leader with one shot is really a bit of ability, I want to give you a meritorious award!"
"Report to the brigade commander, we are all soldiers, this is our duty"! Lu Hai said loudly.
"Let you do something within your duties, and I and Head Wang have temporarily decided that these bandits will let you be executed this time!" Zhang Chong said lightly.
Lu Hai originally hated these bandits, and the two of them had killed bandits before, so naturally there was nothing, but Li Fan, Sun Yang and others in the back had never done this, and they were also frightened. Facts have proved that this is indeed the case, as soon as Zhang Chong's voice fell, Chen Liang and Lu Hai took the lead in answering, followed by Sun Jianying. And the rest of the people were silent, even if someone answered, they were also lacking in qi, and they looked weak-hearted.
"You just said you are soldiers! What is a military man"? Zhang Chong suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"A soldier is a person who rushes to kill in the rain of bullets, a person who fights for the country and the nation, and fights on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud is a quick meal, if you don't even dare to kill these bandits who plague innocent people, you don't deserve to be a soldier, if you are a man, you will let Lao Tzu fart, dare to go up, dare not roll down, Lao Tzu will be replaced immediately"! Zhang Chong continued.
"Report, I dare"!
"Report, I dare"!
"The report... I... I dare...
......
Under Zhang Chong's stimulation, whether they dared or not, they tried their best to make a sound, but Lu Hai took the lead in the execution ground and untied the rifle on his body and aimed it directly at the back of a bandit's head, followed by Chen Liang and Zhao Jianying. I saw that Lu Hai and Chen Liang had sharp eyes, but Zhao Jianying was as calm and plain as ever, in comparison, the situation of Li Fan and Sun Yang was a little bad.
Li Fan, Sun Yang and the others were all pale, especially looking at the bodies of the bandits trembling because of nervousness, and at the thought that they were going to end their lives with their own hands in the next second, their hearts couldn't help but get nervous, and even the hand holding the gun trembled a little.
"Ready"!
With the sound of a soldier's order, everyone aimed at the bandit in front of them, Lu Hai's fingers were slightly forced, just waiting for the last order to pull the trigger, but Li Fan and the others were trembling, it seemed that their trembling was even better than the bandits kneeling and waiting for death in the field.
"Put"!
With a broken drink, the gunshot rang out instantly, and the bandits were instantly shot and fell into the pit, Lu Hai and the others were fine, but Li Fan, Sun Yang and others were numb in their feet, and their foreheads were full of big men, and it seemed that it was already a little difficult to even stand, so at this moment, Zhang Chong said: "Bring me the rest of the bandits"!
As soon as the words fell, the remaining bandits were escorted to the field, some bandits were already shocked at this time, kneeling down and begging for mercy, for a time all kinds of begging for mercy were loud, it was very chaotic, Zhang Chong's face flashed a trace of impatience, took out a pistol and shot at the sky, and then said: "You are all forced to join the bandits, I will give you a chance to mend your ways, if you dare to harm your neighbors in the future, what lies in the pit is your fate"!
A group of bandits kneeling on the ground thought that Zhang Chong was going to shoot them, and they were already scared half to death, and when they heard that Zhang Chong not only did not kill them but also let them go, they were immediately overjoyed, and thanked them one after another, and for a while all kinds of flattering language began to be chaotic, Zhang Chong's impatient look flashed again, and he picked up the gun and fired a shot to the sky, and everyone hurriedly shut up, Zhang Chong looked at the surrounding people and said: "Fellow villagers, I Zhang Chong has completely exterminated these bandits without your trust, but these bandits are not deep in crime and can be reformed, From now on, they will be ordinary people, and if you are making it difficult for them to rebel again, don't blame me for being like I was at the beginning!"
An old man who looked like a rich man spoke: "However, Brigade Commander Zhang, these bandits are extremely vicious, what if they turn against you when you leave?" Wouldn't it be better to kill them all, and kill them all!"
"Fart!" Zhang Chong's face sank and he shouted.
"Don't think I don't know what you've done, if you don't persecute them, will they rebel so much? The brigade commander not only kills those bandits who are deeply guilty of crimes, but also kills those who persecute the poor, if they dare to oppose Lao Tzu and come back to guarantee that they will be wiped out, if anyone dares to persecute them and force them to rebel, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" Zhang Chong roared angrily.
