Chapter 205: Suppressing Bandits
On a crisp autumn day, Lin Qiang, head of the special operations regiment of the Ministry of Defense in Beijing, walked into Jiang Fangzhen's office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info" report, Lin Qiang, the head of the special operations regiment, came to report, please instruct! Jiang Fangzhen raised his head from the pile of documents, and when he saw Lin Qiang standing in front of him, he said happily: "Captain Lin, I will give you a special taskγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»." "Please rest assured that the subordinates will ensure that the task will be completed." Soon, Lin Qiang led a special operations battalion and boarded the southbound train. The subordinates on the train asked: "Commander, where is our destination and what tasks are we performing?" β
"The destination is Wuchang, and I don't know what mission to perform!" In the early morning of the next day, the train arrived in Wuchang and was picked up by a young captain officer on the platform. "Excuse me, is this the head of Lin sent by the capital?" "I'm Lin Qiang!" "The subordinate is Wang Lei, the operational staff officer of the Southern Group Army Headquarters, and Commander Feng arranged for me to pick you up." Soon, Lin Qiang and others followed Wang Lei to the headquarters of the Southern Group Army. "Report to Commander Feng, Lin Qiang, the head of the special operations regiment directly under the Ministry of National Defense, led the 1st Special Operations Battalion to report for duty, please instruct!" Seeing Feng Guozhang, Lin Qiang raised his hand to salute.
"Haha, Captain Lin's name has long been heard, welcome! Welcome! "Feng Guozhang seemed very enthusiastic." Please give the battle order to Commander Feng! "Commander Lin is really an anxious son, since this is the case, this commander is blunt. A year ago, a bandit appeared in the western Jingshan area, and in the last two months it has suddenly become active. The Ministry of Defense ordered the army to be reorganized, and many ruffians joined the bandits. This bandit relied on the high mountains and dense forests, and the infestation was impermanent, and our unit dispatched a brigade to encircle and suppress it for a month to no avail. The gains of the large army to suppress the bandits outweigh the losses, so the Ministry of Defense has sent you to help according to my request, and your task is to strangle the bandits. β
"Please rest assured Commander Feng, he will resolutely complete the task!" "I wish you all the best, Wang Lei is the operational staff officer of the headquarters, he will assist you, and if you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate to raise them." "Back to Commander Feng, there is no difficulty for his subordinates, and he does not hesitate, and his subordinates request to immediately lead his troops to Jingshan." Soon, Lin Qiang and the officers and men of the special operations battalion all mounted their horses and advanced towards the Jingshan area. On the way, Lin Qiang was more than Wang Lei. "Head Lin, my subordinates have a question I don't know if I should ask?" "As long as it doesn't involve military secrets, I will answer all questions!"
"Commander Lin, the predecessor of the special operations regiment directly under the Ministry of National Defense was the Cheetah Squad, and Commander Lin was the leader of the Cheetah Squad. I heard that you and the Cheetah Squad were secretly trained by General Ge, is that true? "Yes, Chief Ge personally trained us for 3 years." "No wonder Shangfeng sent you, the legend of your cheetah squad has long been a household name. I don't have this blessing, I really want to join your team. "You graduated from that school." "It's a shame to say it, I graduated from Yunnan Lecture Wutang." "Brother, I see that you can do martial arts, if you have the ability, I will help you."
"Captain Lin, thank you very much!" "As long as you have the ability, the special operations group will want you, and you don't need anyone to carry you!" "Captain Lin, I'll work hard." "Counselor Wang, to get back to the point, how is the situation with this gang of bandits?" "There are about 500 bandits in this group, and the leader of the bandits is called Gangzi. In the past, this group of bandits rarely went out of the mountains, but in recent months, many soldiers have joined, and the bandit force has become stronger. Two months ago, bandits robbed us of our munitions, about 300 rifles, two heavy machine guns and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition were stolen by the bandits. β
"It is said that there is a military advisor among the bandits, and he is strategic. This person turned out to be a staff officer named Hu Youcai in the Wuhan New Army, who was imprisoned for raping a people's daughter. For some unknown reason, he contacted Gangzi, the leader of the bandits, and was rescued from the prison by Gangzi. This Hu Youcai hit twice, and our department dispatched a brigade to encircle and suppress, killing and wounding hundreds of people, but not a single hair of the bandits. "Where do the bandits mainly operate?" "The bandits mainly operate in Tiger Claw Mountain, but the four mountain ranges of Xiangshan, Xujiazhai, Dawang Cottage, and Longfeng Village are connected by the veins of the Tiger Claw Mountains, and they are all areas where they operate."
"The five mountains are high and densely forested, and the bandits have many ears and eyes, and they flee at the slightest disturbance. The bandits are very arrogant by relying on their familiarity with the terrain and landforms. "No matter how arrogant they are, they are bandits, and they must be eliminated." After the troops arrived in Jingshan County, Lin Qiang did not take immediate action, but did not move. Lin Qiang asked his subordinates to have a good rest, and he dragged Wang Lei to go shopping in disguise. In fact, according to Wang Lei's introduction on the road, he had already come up with a plan, but he just needed an opportunity, and the opportunity might be in this county.
Tiger Claw Mountain, a place of beautiful scenery. The mountains here are high and dense, the blue water is murmuring, and its natural beauty is hidden but not revealed, and the steepness and beauty are all in it. A beautiful mountain peak is entrenched by bandits, which can be described as a terrible scenery. At this time, in the Juyi Hall of Longquan Cottage in Huclaw Mountain, the bandit Gangzi said to the military advisor Hu Youcai: "Brother Hu, this time the official army encircled and suppressed, thanks to your strategy. If I had stuck to Longquan Village according to my approach, I would have been strangled by the champion a long time ago, and I didn't expect that the officers and soldiers of a brigade would actually have 4 cannons. β
Hu Youcai's face was gloomy and said: "In the past, you were sitting in a well and watching the sky, and you didn't understand the outside world. I listened to all directions in prison, Ge Yunfei of Shandong actually turned into the chief of the government of the Republic of China, this is a god, Yuan Shikai has no way to do it, my good days have passed. But providence, Ge Yunfei did not give up on the Japanese and wanted to continue the war. There are foreigners behind the Japanese, so how can foreigners give up with sentimentality. The Nationalist Government had to deal not only with the Japanese, but also with the foreigners. In the future, when the world is in turmoil, we will have a day to emerge. β
"Military division, the officers and soldiers have retreated, are we going to do a big job?" "If you want to do it, you have to aim at opportunities, and it's not fun to make a small fuss. In addition, we must pay close attention to the movements of the officers and troops, two days ago a cavalry team came to Jingshan County, although there is only one battalion, but we have to be careful. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of this battalion were stationed in the county seat, and eighty percent of them were guarding the county seat. "Report!" A subordinate ran in, "King, military advisor, the deal is here!" "What are you talking about, say it quickly!" Gangko stood up.
"The king, the military advisor, and his subordinates made a detailed report, and found a horse gang in Longquangou, and the horse gang was transporting salt." Hu Youcai asked, "Is there an escort?" "Back to the military division, there were more than 50 people escorting, and they had rifles in their hands. My people can see very clearly, they are carrying the old sleeve. "Strategist, what is the escort team of more than 50 people afraid of, I decided to do it!" The bandits shouted in agreement. South of the Yangtze River, salt is definitely in demand, and bandits will definitely not let go of this deal. But the military advisor Hu Youcai asked: "Usually the horse gang passes by and talks to us in advance, is this horse gang so difficult that it doesn't understand the rules?" β
The subordinate said: "Military advisor, my subordinates have clearly understood that this horse gang is an official errand, and the salt is transported to Yunnan. Gangzi said: "It must be that the government thinks that we were beaten away by the official army, so they dare to swagger away from Longquangou." Strategist, do not hesitate, brethren prepare to go. Hu Youcai felt that what Gangzi said made sense, and he didn't stop it anymore. Soon, the bandits poured out of the nest and slaughtered towards Longquangou. There were only a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled bandits left in Longquan Cottage, and the bandits never expected that a group of killing gods had been ambushed outside the cottage.
Seeing the bandit brigade leaving, Lin Qiang did not order his subordinates to do it, why is that? The reason is very simple, at this time, the bandits will scatter and flee for their lives, and the goal of eliminating them all will not be achieved. In addition, before Lin Qiang set off from the capital, Jiang Fangzhen emphasized that these bandits were homeless people, and sending them to the battlefield was the best place to go, so he asked Lin Qiang to capture as many bandits as possible to replenish the source of troops. For this cunning bandit, Lin Qiang thought twice and formulated a set of serial strategies.
During his stay in Jingshan County, Lin Qiang happened to wait for a horse gang from Wuhan. Lin Qiang persuaded the Ma gang leader to assist and let them go to Longquangou. And Lin Qiang led his subordinates to quietly ambush near Longquan Cottage, and quietly captured Longquan Cottage when they took the opportunity to move, and captured them in one fell swoop when the bandits returned victorious. After the bandit brigade left, Lin Qiang ordered the action to begin. Raiding cottages is pediatric for special forces. In less than an hour, the cottage was captured, and more than a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled bandits were captured.
"Report to the head of the group, all 17 left-behind bandits in the cottage have been captured, and none of them have escaped the net." A subordinate reported. Lin Qiang looked at the bandits squatting on the ground and said, "We won't harm you, but you have to cooperate with our actions." Don't have a fluke mentality, just when the bandit brigade is dispatched, we can do it. The reason why I didn't do it was because I wanted to save your lives. We are a special operations force sent by the Ministry of Defense to bring you to the battlefield to atone for your crimes, and if you survive on the battlefield, you are the heroes of the country. β
The bandit squatting on the ground was a little dazed, and one of the bandits asked, "Official, you mean to let us be soldiers?" "Yes, that's your only way to survive!" "Official, I agree to cooperate with you!" Other bandits chimed in. They know in their hearts that horizontal and vertical is a death, and maybe there is still a way to live as a soldier. The key is that the fierce soldiers around them, special military uniforms, and the momentum are completely different from the previous officers and soldiers, so that they can submit. Lin Qiang glanced at his pocket watch and said, "According to the time calculation, in another hour, the bandits will come back, and they will be in place in the detachment!" β
The bandits returned victorious, and they escorted the horse gang back to the cottage and entered without warning. Suddenly, figures appeared from all directions, "Don't move, don't shoot!" "The bandits were immediately stupid. The military advisor Hu Youcai saw that things were not good and prepared to slip away, and a gunshot rang out, and the bullet accurately hit the head. "We are the special forces of the Ministry of Defense, lay down our arms, surrender our guns and not kill!" Lin Qiang shouted loudly again. Gangzi looked at the fierce officers and soldiers around him, and knew that there was no possibility of escape, so he had to throw his rifle on the ground, and the bandits also threw their rifles on the ground.
Soon, in the Juyi Hall, Lin Qiang said to Gangzi: "Fortunately, you are wise, otherwise today next year will be your anniversary." It is a blessing that you have fallen into my hands, and from today you will be reborn and start anew. The next day, hundreds of bandits appeared in Jingshan County, causing an immediate sensation. The soldiers were bloodless, and all the bandits in Tiger Claw Mountain were captured, allowing the people to see the power of the special operations forces, and soon their reputation began to spread far and wide.
A few days later, Lin Qiang escorted the bandits back to Wuchang, and then engaged in a new anti-bandit operation. In half a year, Lin Qiang led the special operations battalion to cover Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangxi, capturing about 50,000 bandits.
