Chapter Seventy-Three: Capturing the Young Village Master
Lu Caiting looked at everyone, and he also replied with some excitement; "We are now about to ambush the Japanese army's convoy on a large scale on the road under the mountain, and the Japanese army escorted a small team of people, and they are all ace soldiers of the Yokohama Brigade, the soldiers are very fierce, and at the same time, we also have to ambush the Japanese army and the Imperial Alliance Army that came out of Shuangji Town to reinforce it, this is also the first time that our column has fought such a large-scale ambush battle, so it is extremely dangerous and intense. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Zhu Pengsheng was excited when he heard this, and couldn't help asking; "Then our water battalion can assist you in fighting the Japanese army and the imperial alliance army that came out to reinforce Shuangji Town, so that our strength will be stronger, and our water battalion can also participate in actual combat! It is also a rare improvement in the combat strength of our water barracks. β
Lu Caiting shook his head and said; "The main purpose of our ambush of the Japanese army this time is to attract the attention of the Japanese army to Jiangjunao and Dongqiao Village, so that the Japanese army can launch a conquest and suppression against us, we will ambush them again in Jiangjunao and Dongqiao Village, give the enemy heavy losses, reduce the pressure on the Suxi detachment, and make the enemy unable to free up his hands to sweep the Lingdang, Huluyu, at present, your water camp is not yet exposed, if you are exposed, the Japanese army will not conquer Jiangjun Ao, Dongqiao Village, they will first conquer the terrain that is easy to attack here, When we attack Shuangji Town next, we will first destroy the gunboats in its turret stronghold, and you will come in handy at that time, this is the overall plan, and we can't change it easily. β
The people in the water camp seemed to be out of breath after hearing this, and their heads drooped in pity.
When Lu Caiting looked at this scene, he smiled lightly and said energetically; "Comrades, don't be discouraged, some battles are fought, when the time comes, we will rely on your water battalion as the main force to fight Shuangji Town, and the Japanese army in the county will definitely not give up, they will definitely fight back to seize Shuangji Town, so many evil battles are still ahead."
As soon as he said this, the people in the water camp all felt reasonable, and everyone's emotions recovered, Chi Lingchong joked with a smile; "Deputy Captain, you have to remember what you said today, when the time comes, there will be no battle in our water camp, we will look for you!"
Everyone laughed, and someone asked; "Deputy captain, this leopard thunder stream bandits are scourging the four towns and eight neighbors everywhere, the people and villagers within a radius of hundreds of miles, and our Woma Beach has also been plagued by them many times, it is indeed hateful! When are we going to get rid of them? β
Lu Caiting immediately replied; "As I said before, we are currently dealing with RB devils, and after we have a foothold, we will settle accounts with these bandits, and we are the dignified New Fourth Army, and we are the division of benevolence and righteousness, that is, to eliminate these bandits, and we must also salute before the soldiers, if they are willing to change their past mistakes and are willing to fight devils, we have to unite them, if they continue to do evil, and do not fight devils, it is not too late for us to eliminate them, it seems that sooner or later I will have to go to Baibai Mountain!"
Seeing that the time was almost noon, Zhu Pengsheng stood up and ordered his subordinates to be humane; "Go and prepare lunch and prepare a jar of good wine for the deputy captain."
Lu Caiting also looked at the sky and stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Pengshengdao; "Uncle Zhu, leave us alone, let's set off now, those bandits are very cunning and have a keen sense of smell, they can be alarmed when there is a disturbance, we must set up an ambush in front of them and wait for them quietly, but we are not familiar with the terrain and location, you can send someone to go with us."
Chi Lingchong hurriedly stood up and said; "I'm familiar with the topography of Scorpion Ridge, I'll take you there."
Lu Caiting also stood up and glanced at Chi Lingchongdao; "Well, you're going to take us there." He turned around again and instructed Zhu Pengsheng; "Uncle Zhu, when the sun sets in the afternoon, you just have to take the money bag and go to the place where you pay the money and get people, everything is with us."
Chi Lingchong led Lu Caiting and the people of the special combat team to go straight to Scorpion Ridge, which is at the foot of the Mengmeng Mountain, with cliffs and cliffs, ravines and ravines, and deep forests.
Chi Lingchong pointed to a peak and said to Lu Caiting, Shen Shenjun; "This is the mountain pass of Scorpion Ridge, and the place to pay for people is chosen here."
Lu Caiting glanced at the peaks, then looked at the surrounding mountain environment, and immediately said to everyone; "Let's go to the higher mountains behind the peaks, and we can observe everything from the peaks."
Everyone quickly crossed the peaks and climbed to the higher mountains, everyone chose their own ambush positions, with trees as cover, and everything around the peaks below could be observed on the high mountains, and after everyone chose a good position, they began to check their weapons and ammunition.
After checking the weapons and ammunition, the bullets were loaded, everyone lazily closed their eyes to recuperate, only Lu Xiaohu and Man Tun were together, chattering and talking quietly, they were young, after all, they were children, and their innocence was still alive.
The mountains and peaks are very silent, only the mountain wind blows the woods, the bumps and ups make the sound of the waves rolling like the waves, and the occasional sound of birds chirping and flying past.
Just after noon, a few people appeared on the peaks below, straddle the long and short guns horizontally, looking like bandits, they looked at the thieves on the peaks for a while, and then they also chose a good position around the peaks and ambushed them.
Lu Xiaohu came to Lu Caiting's side, took out the telescope and handed it to him, Lu Caiting observed it with the telescope for a while and then handed it to Lu Xiaohu, and after Lu Xiaohu observed accurately, he went over and handed it to other people to observe.
Shen Shenjun also took the binoculars from Man Tun's hand to observe for a while, and then gave it to Man Tun, and Man Tun took it to other people to observe, and when everyone remembered the ambush location of the bandits, Shen Shenjun told everyone in sign language that there were five bandits in total, and later asked everyone to quietly subdue the bandits.
Because it was still early before sunset, the bandits who were lying in ambush in the bushes were lazily lying on the ground and napping.
Lu Caiting took out his pocket watch from his arms, looked at the time, it was already four o'clock, and he made a gesture to Shen Shenjun, meaning that he could act.
Shen Shenjun immediately gave orders to the others in sign language, and the action began, Meng Yi, Xin Yang, Chang Yuling, Qi Lianhu, and Wen Hao put down their spears and crept down the mountain ravine.
After a while, at the peaks below the mountain range, where the bandits were ambushed, there were people who raised their hands and shook them, they clenched their fists and raised their big fingers, which was the sign language of the special combat team, which means that they had succeeded in subduing the bandits.
Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun watched carefully with binoculars, and the special combat team members really followed their previous instructions, they only tied all the bandits' hands and feet, blocked towels in their mouths, prevented them from moving and talking, and did not hurt them.
The sun is sinking in the west, and a fiery sunset appears on the western side of the mountains, which stains the mountains and forests red, and the birds that return to the forest to stay are also chattering non-stop.
A group of people appeared on the beam of the Scorpion Ridge Mountain, quickly descended the mountain, and came to the bottom of the peak, the first person, in his twenties, with short hair on the big water scoop, round face and broad forehead, pale golden skin, hideous eyebrows, a brown and yellow placket, a cooked leather copper plate belt tied around the waist, and a barge gun obliquely inserted, a little fierce and capable, his name is Ji Xiaolou, because the skin is slightly yellow, the people on the rivers and lakes are called 'Jin Biao Beast', he is the son of Ji Xiaotian, the head of the eight village owners in the leopard thunder stream bandit village, the son of the big village master 'Fire Lion' Ji Xiaotian, and he can be regarded as the young village master in the bandit village.
There were also four or five minions behind Ji Xiaolou, and they were surrounded by a kidnapped twelve or thirteen-year-old child, who was their financier, and was used to blackmail in exchange for cash.
Ji Xiaolou stood under the peak, looked around for a while, and saw that the lender who paid the money had not yet come, and finally his eyes fell on the peak, and saw that the shrubs and jungles around the peaks were stretched out and raised, which was the person he had ambushed in advance to prevent accidents, and now they all stretched out their guns to raise them, indicating that everything is normal.
At this time, a person also appeared on the path leading to Scorpion Ridge, carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and was getting up in this direction, and it seemed that the lender who had paid the money had arrived.
The person who came was already in front of him, it was Zhu Pengsheng, the patriarch of the Zhu family in Womatan, the cloth bag he was carrying in his hand was heavy, it must be a round ocean, Ji Xiaolou had a surprised smile on his face, and saw that the other party was really trustworthy, but he came to pay the money and get someone alone, his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble a few times, and he looked at the other party very arrogantly.
Ji Xiaolou's two minions bandits raised their spears and aimed them at Zhu Pengsheng, Ji Xiaolou hurriedly waved his hand to signal them to put down their guns, and an old man on the other side came, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
The person who came was Zhu Pengsheng, he stood in front of Ji Xiaolou, and shook the cloth bag he was carrying in front of the other party, and there was a 'whoosh' metal sound of silver yuan coins colliding with each other inside the cloth bag, indicating that it was indeed silver yuan inside.
Ji Xiaolou was also interested, and instructed his subordinates around him; "Untie!"
The minion bandits untied the ropes of the child, and the child hissed and shouted when he saw his relatives; "Uncle, uncle!" The ground screamed non-stop.
Zhu Pengsheng comforted the child; "Little San, don't be afraid, Uncle will take you back." He turned to Ji Xiaolou again; "Master Ji Shaozhai, the money has been prepared, but the old man doesn't understand? Saying goes; 'Rabbits don't eat the grass around their nests. 'After all, we are neighbors up and down the mountain, and there should be no place to offend Guizhai in my Womatan and Horseshoe Bay, but Guizhai kidnapped and extorted the Zhu family several times, robbed my village and town, killed people and set fires, why is this? β
Ji Xiaolou slapped his cheeks a few times, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he replied with a grin; "There's no reason, the gentleman is happy to see that it is not pleasing to the eye, and the gentleman will rob him! Because they are bandits, what bandits do is to kill people and borrow money, rob and plunder. β
Zhu Pengsheng sighed and continued; "But now that the RB people are occupying here, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have skyrocketed, and the RB people and the two dogs of the Imperial Association Army often come to the villages and towns to loot, and the life of the common people is really not good! For the sake of neighbors, the owner of the young village should be considerate and considerate. β
Ji Xiaolou was a little impatient; "Less nonsense, get money for a change! Otherwise, the young master will be unhappy, not only will he take your money, but he will also tear up the ticket. β
"What a big breath, I'm not afraid to flash my tongue when the wind is strong." A voice sounded on Ji Xiaolou's side, and at some point there were two people walking beside him, one was a young man of his age, and the other was a young man, both of them were armed with belts around their waists, and there were two shell guns inserted on the left and right of their waists, and they were talking to young people of his same age.
Ji Xiaolou was really surprised, who came to his side, he didn't notice it at all, and several of his minions and bandits reacted and hurriedly raised their guns and pointed them at the comer.
The young man was fair-skinned, slightly gloomy, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the bandits' actions, his brows were furrowed, and he snorted lightly, and somehow he got into the crowd of several bandits at once, and somehow in a few clicks, the bandits fell to the ground, snorting in his mouth, and a few spears reached his hands.
Ji Xiaolou calmed down his emotions, quickly took a step back, and was about to pull out the gun on his waist, when the young man reminded him; "Don't move, there are several guns on the hillside aimed at you."
Ji Xiaolou was even more shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at the peak, where there were a few people he had ambushed, but when he raised his eyes, he was dumbfounded, the few people he had ambushed in advance were all tied up, blocked their mouths, standing on the side, and several others were aiming at themselves with guns.
Ji Xiaolou looked at the young man with some unconvinced, and raised his head arrogantly and asked; "The mountain that my friend stepped on, the water that floated? reported Wan'er, and the brother took the call. β
The young man is Lu Caiting, and the young man is also Shen Shenjun, Lu Caiting looked at Ji Xiaolou who was unconvinced, and replied in a deep voice; "We are the anti-Japanese independent column of the New Fourth Army, and we don't hide it from the master of Ji Shaozhai, my name is Lu Caiting, and I used to be from Qinglongtang in Shuangji Town."
"Oh, I see," Ji Xiaolou said as if he remembered something; "You are the second young master of the little Qinglong Hall of Qinglong, and you are also the tall foot of the real person who watches the clouds and cranes in the rain and rain, and you are a superb martial arts of the inner family, and you can be regarded as a well-known figure on the Jiangnan Martial Arts Road, and you are a brother who is disrespectful!"
Zhu Pengsheng had already pulled the child to his side, the child hugged Zhu Pengsheng's thigh aggrievedly, kept scrubbing, Zhu Pengsheng patted the child's shoulder and coaxed him.
Lu Caiting looked at Ji Xiaolou; "Lu someone also respects the heroes of the green forest of Leopard Leijian, respects you to fight devils, and hopes that you can cooperate with our independent column, and everyone will work together to resist Japan, but also ask the young village owner to self-check and restrain himself in the future, don't do these things that are unfavorable to the people, today's thing is a misunderstanding, your people and guns We will return it to you, and please go back to say a word, another day Lu someone will definitely climb the mountain to visit, I hope to work together with all the village owners, the muzzle of the gun, drive away the RB invaders."
After Lu Caiting finished speaking, he waved his hand to the peak, signaling to escort the bandits on the peak.
The special combat team members escorted several bandits down from the peak and stacked their guns together, and Shen Shenjun also put a few guns in his hand on the gun pile.
