Chapter 30: Large-scale Banditry

"Platoon commander, bandits, they ran into the field." A warrior pointed ahead.

"I can see it." Zhang Xudong pondered for a moment and said, "Get out of the car, Xiao Wang, you stay and watch the car, and the others will chase after me!" ”

"Yes!" The motorcycle stopped abruptly, and more than a dozen soldiers responded with a bang, and immediately followed Zhang Xudong in the direction where the bandits fled.

Zhang Xudong took the light machine gun from the machine gunner while chasing, and yelled loudly: "Dog, don't run, stop for Lao Tzu." With that, holding the machine gun and facing the front, there was a fierce sweep.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the bandits ran faster, and more than a dozen girls deliberately delayed and refused to move forward when they saw that someone was coming to the rescue.

In desperation, the vicious bully immediately shot and killed a girl who did not want to go with them, causing the other girls to scream and be forced to follow the bandits.

"Fourth, resist me." Bully roared at one of his men.

"Brothers, fight, there are few of them." A small leader shuddered, picked up his pistol and fired two random shots to encourage the other bandits.

More than 20 bandits, who were a little more daring, turned around and fired back.

However, they soon discovered the power of **, a powerful assault fire composed of more than a dozen submachine guns and a light machine gun, which immediately knocked them down in groups.

Seeing this, the little leader was frightened, and quickly turned around and fled with the remaining bandits.

Zhang Xudong held a machine gun and led people to chase after him while strafing.

………………

At the same time, Qiao Anbang also arrived with a battalion of officers and soldiers led by the scouts, and saw several motorcycles of the reconnaissance squad, and before Qiao Anbang got out of the car, the soldier in charge of staying behind hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Vice-seat." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Anbang nodded and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"Report to the deputy seat, the bandits ran into the field, and our platoon commander led people to catch up." The warrior replied, pointing in the direction of the bandits' flight.

When Qiao Anbang heard this, he opened the car door and got out of the car, picked up a large magnification telescope and observed for a while, then turned to Wang Dingsheng and said: "Five miles ahead is Wei Village, a battalion commander, you immediately take a company to outflank along the main road, you must reach Wei Village before the bandits, block all the bandits, and don't let any of them go!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Dingsheng agreed with a bang, immediately turned around and got into a Bian Sandou, and rushed away with a company of officers and soldiers.

Qiao Anbang lit a cigarette and said to Wang Gensheng behind him: "Gensheng, let Li Yifeng and Li Jupeng come over." ”

"Yes!" Wang Gensheng took the order and left, and soon Li Yifeng and Li Jupeng ran forward, and at the same time stood up and saluted: "Deputy seat, are you looking for us?" ”

"Hmm." Qiao Anbang nodded, and then pointed to the field in front of him and said: "Give you a task, take two platoons, go to reinforce Zhang Xudong, be sure to defeat the bandits and rescue the dozen girls." ”

"Yes!" The two of them immediately agreed, they were the same as Zhang Xudong, they hated the bandits to the core, and soon the two of them quickly pursued the bandits in the direction of the bandits' escape with two platoons of officers and soldiers.

After seeing the two of them lead the team away, Qiao Anbang waved his hand: "Target Wei Village, go at full speed!" ”

…………………….

In the field, Zhang Xudong led more than a dozen soldiers to chase and fight, and chased Ling Bahu and his group to a small river ditch, because it was summer, the river ditch was full of river water, and the desperate Ling Bahu immediately led the bandits to rely on the riverside to resist stubbornly.

The two sides launched fierce fire in the field with a wide field of vision, and although the bandits had the advantage in numbers, their firepower was inferior to that of the reconnaissance squad.

Zhang Xudong, who had already killed the red-eyed, set up the machine gun and led his subordinates to shoot frantically at the bandits, and the dense rain of bullets swished back and forth for a while, and the gunshots rang out in all directions.

In the fierce battle, from time to time, bandits were hit and rolled down and fell into the small ditch, and the blood quickly stained the ditch red.

And the scouts also had two people hit by merciless bullets, one dead and one wounded.

At this moment, a loud shout of killing sounded from the rear of the reconnaissance squad: "Rush, kill!" ”

Zhang Xudong turned around when he heard the sound, only to see Li Yifeng and Li Jupeng rushing towards this side with a large group of soldiers.

"Brothers, reinforcements are coming, rush!" Zhang Xudong picked up the machine gun and took the lead in jumping.

"Rush....rush..."Several scouts responded by standing up.

"Big brother, it's not good, let's surrender, the ** reinforcements are coming." One of the ringleaders stammered in fright.

"Surrender is also death, brothers, fight with them." While encouraging his subordinates to resist desperately, Ling Bahu then quietly jumped into the ditch of the small river with cunning, quickly swam to the opposite bank, and fled in a hurry.

After Ling Bahu fled, the remaining bandits immediately became leaderless, and they were suppressed by the powerful firepower of the officers and soldiers of the security regiment and couldn't raise their heads, and before the officers and soldiers rushed forward, all the bandits threw away their armor and surrendered with their heads in their hands.

……………………

After Qiao Anbang rushed to Wei Village with the main force of a battalion, the officers and soldiers of the first company had already put the entire Wei Village on alert.

Wang Dingsheng took two soldiers and reported to one of them: "The deputy seat, just ran over and was caught by the brothers. ”

Qiao Anbang looked at the bully tiger for a while, waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's killed." ”

"Spare your life, sir, spare your life...."Ling Bahu suddenly changed color and begged again and again.

Qiao Anbang listened impatiently, quickly pulled out the matching gun, fired three shots at Ling Bahu's head, and then ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

After returning to the barracks, Qiao Anbang learned that this time a total of 32 bandits were killed, 14 were captured, 11 girls were rescued, and one was killed by the bullying tiger.

The scouts suffered three casualties, two were killed and one was wounded. Qiao Anbang sent people to bury the two soldiers who died, and had a pension for their families.

After this incident, the people's favorability towards the security group rose again, and the support for the security group was just added, and Qiao Anbang's personal prestige also spread rapidly, and he was almost a household name within a radius of dozens of miles.

………………

In the barracks, Qiao Anbang was frowning and pondering, and at this moment, the eldest brother Qiao Anguo walked in, and when he saw Qiao Anbang's brows, he asked, "Third brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Big brother, what happened in Xiaolizhuang makes me feel very deeply, now although our security regiment has been established, Wei Dexi's gang of bandits has also been eliminated by me, but the bandits in the entire northern Anhui region are still very serious, Xiaolizhuang is an example, I wonder if to pull the troops out, so that they can not only suppress bandits, but also be able to train troops in actual combat, it is really a double win." Jo Anbang spoke his mind.

Hearing this, Qiao Anguo suddenly fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Third child, what you said is also reasonable, it is better to train on the training ground for a month, than to be on the battlefield for a day. It's just that if all the troops are pulled out to suppress the bandits, it will inevitably cause some casualties, and troops will also need to be stationed here. ”

"Big brother, do you mean to recruit some more recruits?" Qiao Anbang asked as if he didn't understand.

"Yes, I mean that one or two platoons of soldiers from the first and second battalions will be selected to stay behind, and then a new batch of recruits will be recruited for training, so that not only can we further strengthen our strength, but also can draw troops to suppress the bandits." Qiao Anguo nodded.

"Well, that's it, I'll take the troops out to suppress the bandits, big brother, you stay in the town and be responsible for recruiting and training recruits. Isn't that good? Qiao Anbang asked with a nod.

"No problem, but you must pay attention to safety outside, after all, bullets don't grow eyes." Qiao Anguo instructed.

"Don't worry, big brother, the bullet to kill me hasn't been made yet." Jo Anbang laughed and quipped.

……………

In the following days, Qiao Anbang began to attack everywhere with the main force of the security regiment, frequently encircling and suppressing bandits of all sizes in northern Anhui.

At the same time as Qiao Anbang suppressed the bandits, the second brother Qiao Anjia also came back from Shanghai, and this time Qiao Anjia lived up to expectations and brought back a group of skilled workers, but there were many foreigners among these workers, and they were all invited by Qiao Anjia at a great price.

After having skilled workers, Qiao Anbang first built an arsenal and began to put into production, but the production lines of the arsenal were American, such as the rifle production line, the production of Garand semi-automatic rifles, the artillery production line to produce 105 howitzers, and so on. Obviously, Qiao Anbang is planning for the future.

After the arsenal was put into operation, it was followed by two factories that produced supplies, such as towels, paper towels, soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other commonly used supplies.

The commissioning of the factory not only solved a concern on Qiao Anbang's mind, but also provided a good job for the local people to make money, although these ordinary farmers could not produce weapons and ammunition, but they could work for the arsenal, such as transportation, etc., in addition to the young ones can also enter the factory to work.

Because Qiao Anbang himself was busy suppressing the bandits, the eldest brother Qiao Anguo was busy with training, so Qiao Anbang handed over all the logistics work of the arsenal and the security regiment to the second brother Qiao Anjia, and Qiao Anjia officially served as the logistics minister of the security regiment.
