Just after Meng Qingshan's discussion was completed, one of the teams behind the enemy line that Meng Qingshan sent out early in the morning, under the leadership of captain Zhang Nan (formerly the commander of the third company of the first division of the Third Army) and instructor Liu Jinxi, quietly came to a forest in the north of Chaoyang Mountain in Dedu County to rest, there are two small rivers in the west and southwest of Chaoyang Mountain, the east side is a swamp, the south is a barrier to Kekui Mountain, there is a black blind ditch in the west as a channel, and there are three mountains in the central area, and the peaks are even peaks, which is an ideal place for guerrilla strategy. Captain Liu Jinxi took a fancy to this location and was ready to settle down here in the form of bandits, while secretly developing the masses and party organizations, while looking for the headquarters of the Third Route Army, because Meng Qingshan in the memory of later generations The headquarters of the Third Route Army should be established nearby, hoping to let the headquarters of the Third Route Army meet them.

Zhang Nan has been in Dedu for several days, but he has never been able to find the general headquarters of the Third Route Army, so he discussed with the instructor Liu Jinxi to find a mountain to be a bandit first, while looking for the headquarters of the Third Route Army, you can secretly develop troops in the form of bandits or mix up the hall, when their name is discovered by the Japanese army, the Japanese army will send to recruit them so that they can enter the Japanese army and wait for orders, and finally they came to a bandit den in Chaoyang Mountain, not far from the county seat of Dedu, According to the reconnaissance personnel, there were less than 50 bandits in this bandit den, of which there were less than 30 long guns, 3 short guns, no heavy weapons, and the rest were armed with cold weapons.

As soon as Zhang Nan heard the news, this was not given to him by God, there were only dozens of thieves who could resist the veterans of the Anti-United Nations who had passed through Meng Qingshan's personal training, plus sophisticated weapons, most of their squad were composed of anti-United Nations veterans and some Sichuan troops, and their team of less than 100 people had three light machine guns and two mortars.

After listening to the scout's report, Zhang Nan was even more excited, he was a platoon of recruits, all those who were bandits in the Northeast would be able to do one or two tricks, and if they didn't, most of them were hunters and could shoot guns, as long as they trained a little, they would be soldiers in a platoon.

Immediately, Zhang Nan led a few team members, led by the scouts, quietly followed, entered the black blind ditch, and walked a long way before he saw a cottage made of wood, the wooden wall outside was four or five meters high, and there seemed to be a marching passage on the wooden wall.

Go, go back, come back in the evening and observe. With that, he turned around and walked towards the hiding place of his troops. In this way, in the evening, Zhang Nan once again took a few team members to the periphery of the bandits' den, recorded the interval between the patrol officers, and discussed with the instructor Liu Jinxi in a whisper for a while, then withdrew from the bandits' den and returned to the temporary station.

After discussing with the instructor Liu Jinxi, this group of bandits was very loose because they were hiding in the mountains, and there were almost no precautions next to them except for a few patrolmen on the wooden wall, which was very suitable for night attacks.

Instructor, what do you think? Zhang Nan cast an inquiring glance at Liu Jinxi, the instructor next to him.

"Captain, I think it's okay, this group of bandits is just a rabble, I think we can hide in the mountains to be safe, we quietly attack them in the middle of the night, it's easy to get it." Instructor Liu Jinxi nodded and said.

"Captain, I think we can go over directly and use our small steel cannon to force them down, but this time we brought two mortars and thirty shells! Blow them up and let the brothers practice their hands. An artilleryman named Liu Zhibao said.

After hearing Liu Zhibao's words, Zhang Nan and Liu Jinxi nodded, they should fight the bandits in a dignified manner, and they should not let the bandits underestimate the Anti-Union, so that they can also be convinced.

Zhang Nan and Liu Jinxi led a team to the opposite cottage. Liu Jinxi shook his head. Originally, Liu Jinxi meant to persuade this gang of bandits to unite against Japan, after all, they were all Chinese, and the commander-in-chief also taught them to unite all forces, but he did not expect the bandit leaders here. Stubbornness is to resist to the end anyway.

"Report instructor: Mortar platoon ready to shoot at any time." The artilleryman came to the instructor Liu Jinxi and said.

"The big bosses have their cannons."

"There's a fart, I don't believe that this poorer than us still has artillery, even if they have cannons, will they fight? Lao Tzu didn't believe that their cannon was real. The bandit leader scolded.

"Good gun position. The three-salvo instructor gave the order. The artillerymen, having received the order, immediately ran back to the mortars. It didn't take long for Zhang Nan and the soldiers to hear the sound of a cannon being discharged.

"Boom, boom, boom", the second shell exploded in the door of the cottage, and the simple wooden door of the cottage was torn to pieces in an instant. Several bandits were thrown high. The bandit leader hiding in the shadows happened to see the scene of the first round of shells falling, and the bandit leader was immediately stunned by the residual value of the broken arm thrown high, and he could no longer see the arrogant demeanor of the squad just now, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.

"The big boss's cannon is real, what should we do?" A little Luo asked.

"I have fucking eyes that can see and know it's real, so why don't I take off your white pants."

"Grandma's small steel cannon is powerful, a few shots will blow open the gate of the cottage, blame me for the delay because the cannonballs are too heavy, I let each person carry one, I knew I would take a few more." Zhang Nan complained.

"Captain, don't complain, you didn't see that the eyes of Political Commissar Wang kept looking at us when we took the cannon, if it weren't for the commander-in-chief's approval, we wouldn't have been able to get the cannon." Instructor Liu Jinxi said.

"So many cannons look so strict, it's really dripping, if I don't have a small number of people, I will also bring the cannon called the 92-type infantry gun, and then I will fight the county seat." Zhang Nan said coaxingly.

"Captain, don't urge the cow, even if you get the cannon, we won't use it!" Instructor Liu Jinxi said with a smile.

"That's what you said, the commander-in-chief promised us when we left, let us be the company commander when we develop into a company, and become the battalion commander when we develop into a battalion, my goal is not big, just strive to develop into a regiment, and then return to the main force to fight a big battle, how good it would be!" After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he was full of fantasies that he commanded a regiment of soldiers to push two Type 92 infantry guns to attack the county town of the little devil, and beat the little devil to the point that his father and mother were crying and running around.

"Ahem! Captain, we're at war! ”

Zhang Nan came back to his senses when he heard the voice, wiped his saliva with his sleeve, and shouted to the cottage: "If you don't come out and surrender, Lao Tzu will fire the cannon." ”

At this time, a group of people walked out of it, and the bandit leader was blown up like a briquette, holding a small white flag and shouting: "I am convinced, I surrender to the heroes of the Anti-United Nations." ”

Seeing him like this, Liu Jinxi said: "Isn't this asking for hardship? ”
