In the morning after the rain, the air is crisp, the mountain springs are tinkling, and the cuckoos are singing. A mysterious team of people appeared in the lofty mountains and mountains, and in the queue, Mu Shixiong took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time and asked, "Staff Officer Li, how far is this place from Luohan Mountain?" "According to the guide, this place is about 30 kilometers away from Luohan Mountain!" Mu Shixiong took off the steel helmet on his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "First squadron leader, order the troops to rest for an hour." Tell everyone to hurry up and eat, and in addition, send a report to the Nanning Headquarters to report our situation! ”

During this period, Mu Shixiong and his team members understood and familiarized themselves with the bandit situation in the Great and Small Yao Mountains, so that each team member could memorize the terrain and the rules of the bandits' activities. For a long time, the special combat team has formed a good style of not fighting uncertain battles, and this move is their magic weapon for victory, and they must do their homework sufficiently. After careful preparations, the special combat team secretly left Guiping in early June, targeting Luohan Mountain, the most powerful Diamond Mountain Leopard Gang in Dayao Mountain.

"Report to the captain, the telegraph operator has found a Japanese radio signal!" The first squadron leader Jie Zhenbang made an urgent report. Mu Shixiong hurriedly came to the radio station, only to see the telegraph operator listening and skillfully recording at the same time. The telegraph operators of the special combat unit have been specially trained and are of very high professional quality. In less than 10 minutes, the telegraph operator completed the interception record and handed the transcribed telegraph number to Mu Shixiong and said: "The Japanese telegraph signal is from the northeast direction, which can confirm that the Japanese spy personnel are operating in the northeast direction." ”

Mu Shixiong looked at the abstract number and said, "The northeast direction is the territory of the Heavenly Mountain bandit Hua Shanren, and now it can be judged that the Japanese are colluding with Hua Shanren." The purpose of the Japanese agent's telegram was to have contact with Shangfeng, and the enemy situation had changed, and immediately sent the Japanese agent's telegram to the Nanning Command, and we needed help. Perhaps we can learn valuable information through the telegrams of the Japanese agents. ”

The highest peak of Paradise Mountain is more than 1,500 meters above sea level, and it is sparsely populated and lush with vegetation. The mountains are rainy and mist, and mysterious and unpredictable. There are many moving folk legends, which set off this place like a fairyland. If you climb the peak after the rain at a glance, its sea of clouds is vast, and the thousand peaks float, like a mirage, it can really be said: the clouds and rain are closed by a thousand peaks, and the immortals are in a trance. However, this fairyland on earth was occupied and ruined by a group of bandits from Hua Shanren.

As the name suggests, Hua Shanren's nickname can be seen as an old and cunning bandit. This man regarded himself as a good man in his own territory, and never ate the grass around the nest. Every time he went out, he left room for few killings, and the targets of robbery were all large households. Therefore, this guy has deceived a lot of kind-hearted people, especially the few robberies in his own territory, which has won the favor of many local people. Every time the army comes to suppress the bandits, the Huashan people will be the first to know the news.

Every time he can turn evil into good fortune and be at ease, the disguise of the flower is more skillful. He knows that it is difficult to support alone, and he knows the way to survive, so he often secretly reports to the Drill Mountain Leopard and Wei Biao, so that they can avoid the strangulation of the army, for which the Drill Mountain Leopard and Wei Biao respect him very much, especially when encountering problems, they let Hua Shanren give advice. Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the government has been unable to suppress bandits, and the life of bandits has been getting better and better, and their strength has been expanding day by day. Under such circumstances, the bandits were naturally unwilling to be lonely, and began to boldly go out of the mountains to attack the town, causing restlessness.

In the past two years, Hua Shanren's men and horses have continued to expand, and many stragglers have joined in to increase their combat effectiveness, and his men and horses have grown to 300 people. The increase in strength and the turbulent situation made Hua Shanren unwilling to be lonely, and he wanted to make a difference. At present, the strength of the Diamond Mountain Leopard is the strongest, with more than 500 bandits, and Wei Biao is a bit of an outlier, and the number is still about 200. Maybe it's time to run, and when Hua Shanren wants to make great achievements, God sent him a nobleman.

In order to obtain the help of the bandits in the Great and Small Yao Mountains, the Japanese army specially sent Ichiro Hashimoto, chief of the Intelligence Section of the Guangzhou Military Intelligence Department, to the Great and Small Yao Mountains to contact the bandits. Ichiro Hashimoto led two retinues and a radio station, and soon got in touch with Hanazento. The two sides hit it off, and Ichiro Hashimoto promised that as long as the bandits in the Great and Small Yao Mountains cooperated with the Japanese army, they would not only provide a large amount of funds and a large number of weapons and ammunition. He also said that after the Japanese army occupied Guangxi, the bandits of Xiaoyao Mountain were reorganized into a security regiment, and Hua Shanren was appointed as the head of the security regiment and the county magistrate of Guiping County.

But Hashimoto Ichiro has one condition, and the condition is that Hanazen must persuade Zuanshan Leopard and Wei Biao to cooperate. Hua Shanren was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent someone to discuss with Zhuanshan Leopard and Wei Biao, and planned to discuss cooperation in Paradise Mountain Cottage 5 days later. The cottage is located in a secluded canyon at the foot of the peak, where a river flows through it, and scattered wooden and stone houses are scattered on both sides of the river. On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining, and Hua Shanren and a group of minions stood outside a wooden house, as if waiting for something.

At this time, there was a ticking sound in the wooden house, apparently sending a report. Hua Shanren is about 50 years old, fat head, big ears, kind eyebrows, and very deceptive appearance. However, Hua Shanren's slender eyes reveal cunning, which is difficult to detect if you don't observe carefully. Soon the ticking telegraph stopped, and Ichiro Hashimoto came out of the room with a telegram in his hand. Ichiro Hashimoto is about 40 years old, with a black and red face and a mountain folk dress.

"Mr. Hua, congratulations. The military department adopted my plan and planned to airdrop it in 3 days. In order to confirm our sincerity, let the Diamond Mountain Leopard and Wei Biao witness the airdrop scene together. This time, the military headquarters provided 12 Makqin heavy machine guns, 20 mortars, 30 Czech-made light machine guns, 500 Type 38 rifles, and various ammunition ······. "Ichiro Hashimoto speaks Chinese very fluently." Thanks to Taijun Qiao Ben, Hua someone is determined to serve the imperial army. ”

Nanning Theater Command, Ouyang Jian received a telegram from Mu Shixiong 3 hours later. "Report, Chongqing Intelligence No. 2 called, the Japanese army message was deciphered as follows······." An operational staff officer made an urgent report. Ouyang Jian took the telegram and glanced at it and handed it to Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi didn't look at the telegram and said, "Brother Ouyang, your sense of smell is too sensitive, the Japanese army has really contacted the bandits in Dayao Mountain, how do you plan to take action?" "We must take advantage of this opportunity and make a calculation!" "Okay, I'm in favor!" The two seem to have a heart.

In a dense wood, the team members lay lazily on the ground to rest. After hearing the Japanese army's telegram conveyed to the theater command, Mu Shixiong temporarily canceled the plan of action to attack Luohan Mountain. As a result of the involvement of the Japanese, the situation changed, and the contents of the Japanese cables had to be clarified before the next military action could be taken. "Report, Theater Command calls!" The telegraph operator shouted loudly, and Mu Shixiong immediately walked to the radio station when he heard this.

"Haha, God help me. The Japanese army's telegram was sent in a timely manner. Intelligence shows that the Hana Zen of Heaven Mountain has taken refuge with the Japanese. Today is June 3rd, and the day after tomorrow is June 6th, and the Japanese army will use the airdrop to provide a large number of weapons and ammunition for the Huashan people. The most valuable news is that the Diamond Mountain Leopard and Wei Biao will be present at that time, and the opportunity is too rare. Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, "Captain, you give the order, just in time for us to surround and annihilate the bandits in one go, and we are done!" "Jie Zhenbang, please.

"Your head is hot again, do you understand that the Chief of the General Staff asked us to calculate everything?" "I don't understand!" Jie Zhenbang was a little dazed. "You're white, the chief of the general staff means ·····." Hearing this, Jie Zhenbang suddenly realized: "Captain, I understand, but the chief of the general staff didn't say it explicitly, how can you guess his intentions." "I have followed the chief of the General Staff for many years, if I don't even have this understanding, am I still worthy of being a captain? Go and get Staff Officer Lee, I have something to ask him. In addition, the troops were ordered to prepare, and set off in half an hour! ”

On the mountain path, a sign of people and horses is moving. The only horse in the middle of the team, a big man with a big shape who seemed to be slack, was actually very alert. This person is Wei Biao, who is entrenched in Lotus Mountain, and at the invitation of Hua Shanren, Wei Biao led more than 30 brothers to the Holy Hall Mountain. Lotus Mountain is located in the northwest direction of Shengtang Mountain, and forms a regular triangle shape with Luohan Mountain, where the leopard is entrenched. Wei Biao is different because he was forced to become a bandit, he once killed a bully in his hometown and was wanted by the government, and was forced to roar in the mountains and forests.

To this day, Wei Biao still retains the morality of killing the rich and helping the poor, so his subordinates cannot join the gang if they do not comply with his rules. Wei Biao's attack was basically aimed at the government or the discredited rich people, and he claimed to be a good man in the green forest. He is basically disgusted by what the leopard does, but he has a good impression of Hua Shanren. Wei Biao usually doesn't interact with the Diamond Mountain Leopard, but the invitation of Hua Shanren must give face.

"Big brother, what is the purpose of Hua Shanren suddenly asking us to go to the cottage to discuss important matters? I heard that the Diamond Mountain Leopard was also invited. A subordinate asked. In the past few years, the world has been in turmoil, and the government has no time to take care of us, so it seems that Brother Hua can't bear it. "Is it so difficult that Hua Shanren wants to pull the flag and rebel?" "Pulling the flag and rebelling is looking for death, maybe he has found a backer. In recent years, the Diamond Mountain Leopard and Huashan people have recruited troops and horses, and their strength has expanded, so we must be careful to act for the opportunity! ”

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the horse's head accurately, only to see the war horse take off and scream loudly, Wei Biao was thrown off the war horse, and then the war horse fell to the ground with a bang. With a sudden blow, the bandits were in disarray and quickly protected Wei Biao.
