Although the speed of information transmission in this era was still very primitive, the news of the defeat of the Japanese army at the foot of Erlong Mountain still spread all over the radius of 100 miles in the fastest time, which shocked many forces who were waiting and watching.

"What? Erlongshan actually repelled the Japanese attack, and also killed and wounded more than 200 Japanese soldiers? ”

In a war room converted from a private house in the county seat of Juexian County, more than 100 miles away from Erlong Mountain, a middle-aged officer in his forties with the rank of colonel looked at the lieutenant in front of him in surprise with a look of disbelief.

"Yes sir!" The lieutenant said respectfully: "According to the information from our intelligence officers lurking in Shigu County, this time Gutian Zhengyong sent a total of two squadrons to attack Erlong Mountain, but they were quickly repelled by Erlong Mountain, and they lost more than half of their personnel, which can be described as a heavy loss!" ”

"Is there such a thing?" The colonel's officer gasped, and he turned his gaze to a lieutenant colonel standing on the side, "Deputy Regiment Commander Cheng, is Erlongshan's combat effectiveness really that strong?" ”

It turned out that this middle-aged colonel was Chu Ziying, the colonel of the 276th Regiment of the Shandong Column, and that lieutenant colonel was naturally Cheng Shan, the deputy regiment commander who had just returned from Erlong Mountain.

Cheng Shan smiled bitterly: "Tuanzuo, I'm also a fog." Although I don't know much about Erlong Mountain, I can be sure that there are only about 100 people who have survived to death, and there are only about 300 people in addition to the old and weak women and children. And Gutian Zhengyong is more than 500 people in two squadrons, how can he let Erlongshan fight so badly, isn't this a ghost in broad daylight? ”

Chu Ziying also smiled bitterly: "Yes, you and I both know the combat effectiveness of our national army, whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or weapons and equipment, it is too poor compared to the Japanese army. I wondered, even if this 106th Division belongs to the special division of the Japanese army, it is not something that the bandits in Erlongshan can defeat! ”

There was silence in the war room, and Chu Zi said for a long time: "That's it, no matter what method Erlongshan used to defeat the Japanese army in Shigu County, it is also the glory of our Chinese people, and we can't do without a little expression." That's it, didn't you say last time that Su Jin didn't want to accept our recruitment and only wanted an independent organization...... Give it to him! You immediately go and draft a letter of appointment, and appoint Su Jin as the captain of the First Brigade of the People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Regiment in Shigu County, Shandong, what do you think? ”

"Hmm...... I think it can! Cheng Shan nodded in agreement, this is already the biggest bargaining chip Chu Ziying can give, and then it must be the division commander or even the column commander to call the shots.

It was not only Chu Ziying, the regiment commander, who was shocked by the great victory in Erlong Mountain, but many bandits near Erlong Mountain were also stunned by this news, and these people were shocked even more than Chu Ziying, the national army. After all, everyone eats together in this neighborhood when they are young, and the neighbors who have been doing it for decades already know each other, and they never believe that Zhang Xiuniang can have that ability, when will the people of Erlongshan be so able to fight, if Zhang Xiuniang had this ability before, they would have been swallowed up by Zhang Xiuniang.

Not to mention that the head snake is the most well-informed, after many inquiries, Su Jin finally surfaced. Only then did everyone discover that the root of the change in Emotional Erlongshan was in this newcomer.

Darwin said in his theory of evolution that the law of the jungle is the essence of human beings, and in the same way, the weak like to cling to the strong. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of bandits. Su Jin has used bloody facts to show his strength, proving that he is a strong man, and following and obeying the strong is also the nature of human beings, as the news of Erlong Mountain defeating the invading Japanese army gradually spread, there are many nearby bandits and nearby people who can't survive to Erlong Mountain, and expressed their intention to take refuge.

Su Jin was very cautious about this, he did not expand his manpower aggressively, but discussed with Zhang Xiuniang first, and then accepted a group of bandits nearby. The leader of this group of bandits is called Blackface Zhang, and his name is Zhang Danian, the reason why he was accepted is because this Zhang Danian has a good reputation, and he is also righteous, and there are dozens of young and strong men under him, and after accepting him, he can quickly expand the strength of Erlong Mountain.

Right now, Su Jinbian is chatting with Zhang Danian, and the place where they are chatting is at the shooting range in the back mountain.

"Bump...... Bumper ......"

The shooting range was in full swing, and a team of young men from Erlongshan were practicing shooting, and the gunshots rang out one after another.

Zhang Danian, as his name suggests, is very tall, with a round face that looks very honest, and only two small eyes shoot out from time to time to indicate that this person is by no means as simple as it seems.

At this time, Zhang Danian looked at the people on the shooting range who were consuming ammunition like losers, with a distressed and surprised look on his face, he looked at Su Jin and asked very puzzled: "Second master, are you Erlongshan so rich that you train like this every day?" ”

Su Jin nodded: "They have to practice marksmanship every day, and each person has a quota of twenty bullets, after all, you have to know that good marksmanship is practiced, if you don't let the brothers practice openly, where do they get good marksmanship!" ”

"That's what I said, but that's too ...... It's too ......" Zhang Danian's face is distressed, he has been a bandit for more than ten years, and his brothers don't treat those guns and bullets as if they are the top treasures in their hearts, which ones are like here as if the bullets don't need money, like splashing water, this is all money!

Looking at the distressed look on Zhang Danian's face, Su Jin was secretly sighing in his heart while understanding them. Su Jin's Huaxia don't talk about these bandits, even the regular army can't often shoot live ammunition, in this era of China, weapons and ammunition are even more expensive than human lives, where can there be such a good thing as live fire training.

Retracting his thoughts, Su Jin turned his head to Zhang Danian and smiled: "Danian, don't be surprised, we will arrange it as soon as possible after you settle down, and from now on, you will also conduct live-fire training as often as they do. ”

Zhang Danian's eyes widened: "Second master, is this true?" ”

"Of course, what did I lie to you?" Su Jin smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Since you brought your brothers into the gang, you are my brothers, and I have always treated my brothers equally." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Danian's eyes turned a little red, he thought that after coming here, he would at least be "inspected" by Su Jin for a period of time before he would slowly accept him, but he didn't expect people to be so happy, and his feelings were that he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Just when Zhang Danian wanted to speak, someone came to report that there were national army officers at the foot of the mountain who asked to see him......
