Of course, the various facilities of the newly formed independent regiment cannot be compared with those of the 256th Regiment, and Gao Quan can only rely on himself, and while asking his superiors for help, he can solve it by himself.

At present, the military headquarters seems to take better care of the newly formed independent regiment, and all the things that Gao Quan wants can be allocated a little bit, such as food, military salaries, weapons and ammunition, and military uniforms and quilts, all of which are fully allocated. Of course, if you want to open your mouth widely, the old men in the military department are not stupid, and the weapons issued are just enough for an ordinary regiment of more than 1,000 people, which is very rich for the 800 or so people in the independent regiment, but Gao Quan's ambition is obviously not in this.

He was shopping for things with the old men in the military department and division headquarters, Wang Dazhu began to train the troops on the training ground instead of him, and Qian Sixi was responsible for secretly collecting intelligence information within dozens or even hundreds of miles in the vicinity.

On this day, Gao Quan had just returned from the division headquarters and was blocked by Qian Sixi. Since today the division commander finally dialed down the five mortars that he had reported five days ago, Gao Quan was in a very good mood, and looked at Qian Sixi with a smile, "Sixi, is there anything good?" ”

Gao Quan rarely took the initiative to smile at Qian Sixi, and his smile made Qian Sixi's heart feel as comfortable as drinking a bowl of hot chaos in Sanjiutian, "Tuanzuo, thirty miles in the mountains to the west, there is a Jinji Ridge, and there is a cottage on Jinji Ridge. The owner of the village is called Huang Sanpao, and his reputation is not bad, but he has hardly heard of the harm to the local people. There are more than 500 bandits in Jinjiling, which is the largest bandit cottage in this area, and the bandits on several nearby mountains are at the disposal of Huang Sanpao, and the bandits that this guy can indirectly influence are estimated to be more than 1,000 people. Gao Quan asked him to inquire about the situation in this vicinity, and Qian Sixi had a harvest and came to report to Gao Quan.

"Okay, you send someone to contact them to see what Huang Sanpao means to the government army, and whether there is any possibility of recruiting peace."

It turned out that Gao Quan asked Qian Sixi to inquire about the meaning of the local forces here, and he actually wanted to recruit bandits! Qian Sixi was not a little surprised, there were only 800 people in the independent regiment, most of them were recruits who had never been on the battlefield, and the other 300 or so were scattered stragglers in Xinkou and the northern suburbs of Taiyuan. What's more, the number of people is too far from a full regiment.

Recruiting locally? Gao Quan thought, but this Yicheng was originally a small place, and the independent regiment was still in the wilderness twenty miles away from the county seat, and it was usually difficult to see a person, where did you ask him to recruit troops? If you can't recruit soldiers, and you don't have enough manpower, you can only make crooked moves.

Among the barren mountains and mountains, the most concentrated places, except for county seats, villages and towns, are only bandit cottages. The bandits and bandits in the cottage are stubborn and ferocious, which can be regarded as a manifestation of strong combat effectiveness from another aspect, right? At the very least, these people dare to kill people and rob the road, and in terms of courage, they are not comparable to those peasants who have just come out of the fields. Gao Quan is not recruiting civil servants for the country, he needs talents with good conduct, what he needs is a warrior who can go to the battlefield and fight with the murderous and cunning little devils, and a warrior who can kill people without frowning his eyebrows, and the bandit is obviously more in line with his conditions. Although he may be despised by his superiors or colleagues for doing so, he can only turn his mind on the innocent local bandits when his superiors do not allocate him manpower, and when he cannot recruit new recruits in the local area.

Two days later, the conference room of the regimental headquarters. All the officers above the company level of the newly formed independent regiment of the Ninth Army were seated, and Gao Quan sat in the center in full uniform.

After scanning his eyes to both sides, he looked at Qian Sixi and nodded. Qian Sixi stood up, nodded to everyone first, and then made a report to everyone about the situation that had been detected during this time. All the officers present listened attentively, and they all knew that today's meeting was presided over by Gao Quan, and what Qian Sixi said also represented what Gao Quan meant, and everyone wanted to know what Gao Quan wanted to do at this meeting.

"Huang Sanpao refused to be recruited by our department, and whipped the scouts we sent to contact and drove him down the mountain." Qian Sixi told the story without adding any personal comments, and there was no anger in his tone. None of the people here are stupid, and they understand as soon as they hear it, this is Gao Quan's desire to do something to Jinjiling!

As a result, the officers present below, headed by Wang Dazhu, have made impassioned remarks one after another, saying that they should severely punish bandits and bullies like Jinjiling and Huang Sanpao, who disregard the overall situation and have no sense of law! Wang Dazhu, the commander of the first battalion, said on the spot that he would lead his first battalion to set foot on Jinjiling and capture Huang Sanpao alive! Zhang Erxiao, the commander of the third battalion, and Qian Sixi, who had just sat down, were not to be outdone, and all expressed their willingness to undertake the task of attacking Jinjiling.

"Good! Wang Dazhu led the first battalion to attack, the third battalion sent a company to respond from the side, and the artillery company directly under the regiment served as a cover to attack Jinjiling! ”

Wang Dazhu's battalion was full of recruits, and Gao Quan's purpose was to train recruits.

The terrain of Jinjiling is dangerous, and there is a mountain gate set up by bandits on the mountainside. Since Huang Sanpao refused the recruitment of the independent regiment, he strengthened the vigilance on the mountain and arranged a hundred bandits to guard the Toudao Mountain Gate. The bandits saw the activities of a large group of officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain from the mountain gate, and reported it to the bandit leader who was in charge of the mountain gate of Toudao early.

The little leader Liuer climbed to the gatehouse and looked down, and couldn't help but shiver in his heart, and the officers and soldiers under the mountain were loaded with guns and ammunition, and they were climbing up the steps of the mountain, and the steel helmets were reflecting directly in the sun, and the number of people must not be hundreds?

"Stop! This is Jinji Ridge, outsiders are forbidden to go up the mountain! Go further up, and you're going to fire! Frightened in his heart, Liu'er still had the courage to shout down the mountain. This kid has three small sarcomas on each ear, and he is nicknamed Six Ears, and he is also a ruthless character who kills people and sells goods, but he has never dealt with so many officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers who were walking up the mountain road heard this shout and really stopped. Liu'er's heart is beautiful, after listening to my words, the officers and soldiers dare not go up, it seems that my Liu'er's words are becoming more and more effective!

"Listen, the bandits, immediately open the gate of the wall, and surrender immediately! Give you five minutes, and when the time is up, we're going to attack! ”

Liu'er is beautiful, and there is such a roar from the bottom of the mountain, so angry that Liu'er can't wait to kill the guy below who disturbed his wonderful mood immediately! But after so many years of bandit career, Liu'er knows deeply that some people and forces can't be provoked, and if they are provoked, there will be no good fruit to eat! In desperation, he had to pretend to be smiling and continue to answer with the officers and soldiers under the mountain: "May I ask which part of you are from?" Our village owner Huang Sanye, and the uncle and nephew of the master of Qinshui County are brothers, everyone is their own people, and they have something to discuss! ”
