After a month of queue training, half a month of spear training, and two months of firearms training, three and a half months passed, and the first army of Fang Nan had initially gained combat effectiveness.

With the advantage of firearms, in frontal combat, it is completely possible to defeat several times the enemy who is only equipped with cold weapons, and can also defeat the same number of enemies equipped with firearms.

This kind of strength is already very good in the army of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not enough for Fang Nan, and after half a month of hunting training, a little blood, Fang Nan is ready to take people to exterminate the bandits, only after the battle, the recruits will quickly mature, and the strength of the army will also improve rapidly.

For the first battle of the People's Army, Fang Nan had to choose a good target, and the strength should not be too strong, so that the soldiers could really see blood without any casualties.

For the good mountain people, for the evil people and bandits, this is the division of the people in the mountains by the people in the outside world, for the government, there will be no such division of mountain people and bandits, as long as there is no household registration, all are sinners.

Mountain people rely on the mountains for food, and most of the time they live in the mountains, and they do not easily go to the outside world.

The mountain is just a place for the bandits to live, and the bandits also want to live in the outside world, but they are not allowed by the outside world, and they are afraid that they will be surrounded and suppressed by the government, so they can only live in the mountains.

The relationship between the bandits and the mountain people is not good, and many bandits do not dare to attack the estates of large families when they lack food, but instead ask the mountain people for food.

Qingshanzhai has been invaded by bandits many times, in order to repel the bandits, Qingshanzhai has killed a lot of people, some villages are unlucky and not strong enough, they were directly attacked by the bandits, most of them were killed, the young women were taken away, and all the food was taken away.

Of course, the bandits are more willing to rob large households, and robbing a large family is likely to have more benefits than robbing a village where poor people live, but large families are also guarding against bandits, and try not to give bandits a chance to rob.

As for the situation of mountain thieves in the mountains, Fang Nan had already arranged for team members to collect them, and dozens of villages had come into contact with more than fifteen bandits.

Gathering the information of each bandit obtained from each village, screening the bandits whose information is as complete as possible and whose strength is not high, Fang Nan finally set the first target of the People's Army as Erwangzhai.

Erwangzhai is the closest to Lijiazhai, and the information of Erwangzhai is obtained from Lijiazhai, Erwangzhai has two leaders, Wang Long, and Wang Hu, the second king, are brothers, and have nearly 100 minions, which are weaker among the known bandits.

Unlike other bandits, other bandits are trying to rob the landlords, and the two leaders of Erwangzhai know that their strength is not good, so they can only rob the mountain people and the poor people in the outside world.

Lijiazhai is a village with only fifty or sixty households, very united, but unable to resist Erwangzhai, especially the two leaders of Erwangzhai, who are burly and powerful, and ordinary people are not opponents.

In the face of the oppression of Erwangzhai, Lijiazhai can only send food to accept "protection", the people of Lijiazhai because they are oppressed by the landlord and the government in the outside world can not live to escape into the mountains, I did not expect to be oppressed by these bandits in Erwangzhai, if it is not for the fact that there are few places suitable for living in the mountains, the people of Lijiazhai want to move again.

The goal had been set, the first battle of the People's Army was coming, and Fang Nan asked Hu Zhuang to convene all the officers for a pre-war meeting.

"Our target is Erwangzhai, which is nearly four days away from Hutou Village, and the strength of Erwangzhai is not strong, and there are only about 100 adult males as combatants, all of whom are cold weapons, and there are no firearms......

During the meeting, Fang Nan introduced the situation of Erwangzhai and made simple operational arrangements, and the specific operational arrangements will not be carried out until the People's Army arrives in the area where Erwangzhai is located.

For the first battle of the KPA, the KPA officers were both excited and excited, no one had sadness and worry on their faces, and some people were even fantasizing about the scene of the battle.

Although the training time of the People's Army was only four months, the officers and soldiers realized their own strength, and for the time being, they did not know the strength of the Ming Dynasty army in the outside world.

It's just a bandit who is not equipped with firearms, there are hundreds of people, and he only knows how to oppress the common people, and the officers are confident that they will exterminate Erwangzhai.

After the officers' meeting, the officers held a meeting with their soldiers and distributed the battle arrangements to each soldier, and the soldiers felt about the upcoming battle about the same as the officers.

After three days of preparation, the People's Army set out, and in addition to the 136 KPA troops, there were other entourage, including a medical team and two hired workers from Lijiazhai, totaling more than 20 people.

Set off from Hutou Village in the early morning, on the morning of the third day, Fang Nan and his party came to Lijiazhai, and in the face of the arrival of the People's Army, the owners and elders of Lijiazhai came out to greet them.

When they learned that the People's Army had come to exterminate Erwangzhai, the people of Lijiazhai warmly welcomed the arrival of the People's Army, and Lijiazhai had been suffering from Erwangzhai for a long time, and if there was no Erwangzhai, the people of Lijiazhai would have a better life, and there should be no problem with having enough to eat.

"Li Jiazhai will definitely send the best hunters to lead the way for the People's Army." The owner of Lijiazhai assured.

The team had a good rest in Lijiazhai for a day, and the people in Lijiazhai were busy boiling water and cooking for the People's Army.

Li Jiazhai's kindness Fang Nan accepted, but the food eaten by the People's Army was brought by himself, and he did not take Li Jiazhai's food.

"Our People's Army is disciplined, we can't take a stitch from the people, we are the people's army, it is our responsibility to protect the people, the people's life is already so hard, if we eat your food, maybe the people of Lijiazhai will starve, and our People's Army can't see the people starving in front of their eyes."

The words of an ordinary soldier in the People's Army almost moved a few old people in Lijiazhai to tears, if only they could meet such a good Ming army when they were living in the outside world, but unfortunately they did not meet it, under the oppression of the government and landlords, they could only flee into the mountains.

The rebellion is to kill the head, many people dare not rebel because they are afraid of death, there are many such people in Lijiazhai, and now because of the words of a soldier, Lijiazhai has a little more support for the People's Army, and some people even think in their minds how good it would be if the People's Army could overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

A new day is coming, and the People's Army, which has rested for a day, marched to Erwangzhai under the guidance of the best hunters in Lijiazhai, and behind them was a group of ordinary people who were silently praying to God to bless the return of the People's Army.
