Chapter 8: Gathering and Annihilating the Bandits (I)

The long-term vigilance made Xiao Mubai quickly turn over when the gunshot rang out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the newly built conference room, there is a huge military map of the Quang Nam region hanging on the wall, which Xiao Mubai redeemed directly from the synthesis machine, and the lakes and rivers on it are clearly marked, and the accuracy can be said to be second to none in the world. Xiao Mubai sat at the conference table, with guard Ding Qiang standing next to him, and several officers of the joint defense team such as Chen Chuan and Chang Er sitting on either side.

After half a ring, Xiao Mubai asked with a gloomy face, "Who is the officer on duty?" Have you identified the attackers? Did you catch anything alive? ā€

"Report to the company commander that there were five attackers, four of whom were killed on the spot by the sentry and one escaped, but because it was too dark, the brothers did not pursue them. The four people who died were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and there was nothing on them that could identify them. Zhao Quanyou, the deputy platoon commander of the third platoon, got up and replied, bowing his head in shame after speaking.

Although Xiao Mubai was not very satisfied with Zhao Quanyou's answer, he also knew that he couldn't be too harsh with him at the moment, after all, it was not so easy to chase someone blindly in the dark, and it was understandable to chase him if he lost it. Later generations of police officers were able to chase down suspects under such favorable conditions, let alone in this era.

After a long groan, Xiao Mubai said, "Now, I order!" ā€

"Whoa!" With a bang, the officers all stood up.

"All the personnel of the Joint Defense Force issued live ammunition, set up positions along the perimeter of the station, waited for orders, and were ready for battle at any time. In addition, the reconnaissance squad closely monitors the movements around and reports as soon as there is a situation! ā€

"Yes!"

Xiao Mubai gave an order, and all the people in the joint defense team began to get busy.

At this time, Zhao Mingchuan and the old village chief, who heard the movement, also came to the station of the joint defense team, and when they saw the two of them, Xiao Mubai briefly introduced the situation to them, and then took the two to the four people who were killed by the sentry. Seeing the four people lying down, red and white all over the ground, Zhao Mingchuan had already run to the side with a white face to vomit, too, normal people must have a miserable white face when they see a dead person, see red blood, white brains, it's strange if they don't vomit. But the old village chief Zhao Maocai, although his face is a little pale, but after all, decades of wind and rain have passed, and he has experienced a lot of things, so his performance is not so exaggerated.

After carefully looking at the dead body, several people came to the conference room again, and the old village chief Zhao Maocai had a solemn expression. The conference room also seemed a little dull for a moment.

"Uncle Zhao, what do you see?" Xiao Mubai said

"In my opinion, eighty percent of these people are mountain bandits who came to step on the plate in the nearby mountains, but I can't tell if it's from that mountain." After all, he is an old village chief, and his decades of rich experience are not in vain.

"Mountain bandits? What are the mountain bandits doing in Zhaojia Village? Xiao Mubai asked with a puzzled face, he didn't seem to understand very well, he came from the afterlife, and obviously didn't react to this situation for a while.

"It's not easy, of course I'm going to grab something." Next to him, Zhao Mingchuan responded.

"In previous years, we didn't have any good harvest in Zhaojia Village, the poor jingle sounded, and the mountain bandits came to rob but didn't rob it. This year is different, our village has a good harvest, and besides, you have opened a few foreign factories and made a lot of money, the mountain bandits must have heard the rumors, can you not be red-eyed? Seeing that Xiao Mubai still had a puzzled face, Zhao Maocai sighed and explained.

Xiao Mubai then understood, feeling that the mountain bandits in this era are robbing fat sheep? It's like that era, it doesn't matter if you're fat or thin, as long as it's a sheep.

"Uncle Zhao, can you introduce to me the nearby bandits, what are the specific ones, and what are their strengths?" Xiao Mubai's expression became more solemn.

"On the boundary near our Zhaojia Village, there are more than a dozen bandits in this mountain, two or three hundred people in the big ones, and dozens of people in the few, basically all of them are poor people who can't live in the vicinity." Zhao Maocai knocked on the dry tobacco pipe and slowed down: "If you want to talk about strength, the others are not worth mentioning, the most powerful is Liu **zi of Eagle's Beak Rock 40 miles away, this mountain bandit is compared with others, but it is all evil, and it has lost its conscience, and I don't know how many good people have been harmed over the years, if it weren't for the poverty of our Zhaojia Village, I don't know how many times it has been scourged." The government also encircled and suppressed several times back then, but each time it was repelled by Liu Mazi. ā€

"Hmph, just rely on those shitholes, it's worse than bandits, and go to exterminate mountain bandits, it's a strange thing to be able to exterminate them." Next to him, Zhao Mingchuan said with a disdainful face at this time.

"In this way, it is very likely that it is Liu Mazi's gang of mountain bandits who beat us up this time/" Xiao Mubai touched his chin with one hand, nodded and said.

Zhao Mingchuan and the old village chief next to him listened to it, and they also nodded slowly in agreement.

Now that he has a suspicious target, Xiao Mubai will no longer flinch, but directly sent Chen Chuan with a reconnaissance squad to focus on investigating and monitoring these nearby mountain bandits. The rest of the joint defense team members are even more loaded with guns and ammunition, keeping vigilance and standing ready at any time.

Not to mention that Xiao Mubai is waiting for the arrival of the main lord. But said that Ma Yan fled back to the cottage in panic all the way, and after telling the military advisor Zhao Xiucai about what happened when he went down the mountain, the two hurriedly shouted the second scar, and came to the back mountain to find the big boss Liu Mazi. At this time, Liu Mazi was lying on the bed and smoking a big cigarette, and the two women who were snatched by the second child next to him were beating their legs, looking very leisurely. Now that he was disturbed, Liu Mazi suddenly looked unhappy, but after seeing the face of the third horse who ran in angrily, and the military advisor Zhao Xiucai, who was frowning with a nervous look, and the second child who was full of righteous indignation next to him, he forcibly endured his displeasure and walked out of it.

Seeing his boss's impatient appearance, the third horse hurriedly stepped forward and described all his experiences at the bottom of the mountain in detail. At this moment, Liu Mazi immediately put the unhappiness just now behind him, but instead brought anger in his heart. The five people ran back alone, and they didn't even know what the parents were like, and there were four brothers who were fools, how could this not make Liu Mazi, who had been empty-eyed with the continuous rise of strength over the years, not angry.

"Big boss, in my opinion, this matter should be considered in the long run. Losing four brothers for no apparent reason, this joint defense team is probably not so simple. Military advisor Zhao Xiucai said with a solemn face

"It's still a fart, what kind of joint defense team, it's just a few crop men, what's the big deal, dare to touch my brother, I rubbed his skin." Scar was already a hot-tempered person, and at this time, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted angrily.

"It's not okay to be in charge, this matter still needs to be investigated, after all..."

"What else is being discovered? Strategist, you're just too careful, dozens of peasants, what's the big deal? Didn't you just rely on a few bird guns to sneak up on our four brothers? As long as we are careful, nothing will happen. Scar immediately interrupted Zhao Xiucai's words and said.

"Big brother, I can't swallow this breath! You give me dozens of people, and I want to wash Zhaojia Village in blood. Ma Face also said hatefully beside him, and Ma Face had already been carried away by hatred at this time.

Liu Mazi had a calm face, and he groaned for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. After a while, he said slowly: "I think you are too worried, thinking that those few crop men who have just gathered together can't make any waves." Second brother, pass the order down, let the brothers gather, and I will wash Zhaojia Village in blood tonight. Tell the brethren to rob money, food, and women. ā€

Ignoring the dissuasion of the master next to him, Zhao Xiucai, Liu Mazi's voice snorted coldly from between his teeth and was transmitted to a few people beside him.

Unlike Scar and Horse Face, who happily went down to gather the brothers next to him, Zhao Xiucai, the military advisor who had a bitter face next to him, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with this matter. Before he could persuade his own boss to say a few more words, Liu Mazi had already turned around and went back to the room inside.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Xiucai had to stomp his feet with hatred, he had already made up his mind, and whenever he noticed something wrong in this operation, he would slip away at any time.
