In mid-August, the peasants, who had worked hard for half a year and waited for half a year, finally cut the yellow ears of rice home. The barns in each village are full, and the bamboo mats are dried one by one, and the rice is stored in the warehouse as soon as the water is gone.

No one is not afraid of hunger, almost every family will send the elderly and children to watch their own mats, the unprecedented harvest makes everyone feel unsteady, always afraid that it is a dream, and the rice will be gone when you wake up.

In Yunwu Mountain, on the newly opened training ground, the soldiers of the second battalion of the militia regiment reorganized from bandits are stepping up their training. With the participation of dozens of soldiers from the first battalion of the militia regiment who came over, extremely rigorous and formalized military training is in full swing.

At first, the resistance of the bandit army was not small, and it was not until Zhuge Sheng and Tie Sanqian personally carried the leather whip to supervise the battle that these unruly bandit troops were suppressed and the training could be carried out smoothly.

The officer of the militia who led the team up the mountain this time was Chu Shiwen, the commander of the third company, who had excellent training, acted steadily, and his military quality was also first-class in the current level of the militia regiment.

Zhuge Sheng sat under the pergola to rest, drank two sips of white fungus soup, felt a lot cooler, and was about to continue to go out to supervise the training when he saw a subordinate running towards this side quickly.

"Army, Army, Division......"

"What a military advisor, call me an instructor!" Zhuge Sheng stood up with a bowl of white fungus soup.

"Instructor, here's a secret letter from the caravan." The little pawn was still not used to the title of Zhuge Sheng's instructor, and he stammered while wiping his sweat.

"Horse gang?" Zhuge Sheng waved off his subordinates, and opened the urgent letter sealed with vermilion paint in confusion, originally the caravan should have been handed over two days ago, but Zhang Shusheng was worried that something would happen in the last few days of the rice harvest, so he did not go to the caravan's foothold in Huize County to hand over the caravan.

"Huili Linjiang Cliff Fan Mazi led more than a thousand bandits to cross the river overnight last night and went straight to the direction of Xiaoqingshan!"

"Not good!!"

Zhuge Sheng is familiar with the art of war, and is very good at strategy, this information is very important, and it is also very timely, he clenched the yellowed envelope, and without thinking about it, he urgently ordered his subordinates to prepare horses and rush to Lishuping.

I crossed the river overnight last night, and it was only half a day's journey from the Jinsha River, and I am afraid that I had already arrived at the village on the edge of Xiaoqingshan. The intention of the bandits, Zhuge Sheng didn't have to think about it, he Lao Ghost, who was bombarded, did this kind of thing - grabbing grain! It's just that He Laogui rarely kills people, and that Fan Mazi rarely doesn't kill people.

He knew that this was an opportunity, the second battalion was just established, and the information of the bandits robbing grain would be a godsend for him to show his loyalty to Zhang Shusheng.

After approving a report on the allocation for the expansion of the garment factory, Zhang Shusheng finished his morning's work, and before he went downstairs, he saw a fast horse galloping in the distance, and with his eyesight, he immediately recognized Zhuge Sheng, who was not dressed in disguise. In a hurry, is there something serious?

"Ready!" Where did the guard squad outside know Zhuge Sheng, seeing that he was about to rush straight over, he had already shouted the warning order, and the eight 1898 rifles were already aimed at Zhuge Sheng, who was rushing on horseback, and the guard squad leader saw this and reprimanded angrily: "Come and get off the horse, and if you break outside, you will shoot!" ”

"Stop!"

Seeing this, Zhang Shusheng stopped the guards, and as soon as he walked downstairs, Zhuge Sheng also happened to roll down from under the horse.

"Regiment Commander, I have an emergency military situation!!" Zhuge Sheng handed over the information. The two walked indoors, closed the door, and Zhang Shusheng opened the information.

"It's really an extra three or five buckets, and a few more troubles. Even the bandits are pouring out to grab food. ”

Under the anger, Zhang Shusheng's right hand slammed on the solid wood table, and suddenly smashed a corner of the table into a dent, Zhuge Sheng's heart jumped, but he didn't expect that his head was still a martial arts master.

"Commander, this gang of bandits is different from our previous Yunwu Mountain, Fan Mazi was born of Han and ethnic minorities by marriage, and he has been discriminated against since he was a child. Later, there was infighting, and this guy brought a group of people up the mountain and established Fanjiazhai. This person's surname has long been perverted and distorted, killing people like hemp, and taking pleasure in bullying female surnames! At the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, this person is the number one bandit. ”

Zhuge Sheng gave a general account of other information that Zhang Shusheng didn't know.

"Damn, Lao Tzu just gave a small group of people a chance to eat a full meal, and these brutes came to rob it. It's still a lot of evil, and this time it's just right to cut them. ”

Leaving Zhuge Sheng waiting in the office, Zhang Shusheng rushed out of the small building, ran to the militia barracks, took over the military post in the hands of the military commanders on duty, stood in front of the barracks, and personally blew the assembly post.

"Three long and two short, emergency assembly whistle, fast! Assemble, assemble! Fast! Fast! Wu Tiejun, Chen Jun and other militia officers were preparing to have lunch with the militia soldiers in the collective canteen, and after hearing the emergency assembly post, they ran out of the canteen like crazy and ran towards the barracks.

The dormitories were knocked open, the neatly placed guns and marching bags were carried, and the bags were sorted out in ten seconds, and then he hugged the emergency slider next to the second floor and slid down, and quickly ran to the camp.

I have to say that these hundreds of militia soldiers who have been trained for a whole year have indeed trained to some level under Zhang Shusheng's almost strict requirements. If you think about the level of students who have been trained in the military for half a month in later generations, you will know that even if the militia soldiers are not as good as the regular army in later generations, they are definitely not straw bales.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

Wu Tiejun and others were the first to arrive, and when they saw that it was Zhang Shusheng who personally blew the emergency assembly whistle, they knew that the matter was serious, and they didn't even have time to salute, so they quickly assembled their teams.

"Count!"

"Count!"

"Count!"

The platoon commanders shouted loudly, and the number of each platoon sounded rapidly, and a platoon quickly completed the formation in less than a minute.

Wu Tiejun ran towards Zhang Shusheng, stood up and saluted, and shouted loudly: "Report to the head of the regiment, the emergency assembly is complete!" Please instruct! ”

Looking at the militia soldiers in front of him, including the reserves, they were ready to go one by one, and they were fully equipped for a rapid march. Zhang Shusheng's mind was in a hurry, and he had already drawn up an order, and ordered loudly: "Take a break, stand up!" According to intelligence, there is a group of bandits who are robbing grain for thousands of people and are about to wash Xiaoqingshan in blood. The platoon commanders immediately organized mounted reconnaissance squads to rush to seven villages, including Baligou, Wangshanya, Zhushanping, Shiligou, Wangchang Village, Jianshe Village, and Didi Village, to carry out emergency reconnaissance missions. ”

The platoon leaders of each platoon quickly organized a mounted reconnaissance team that had been training for more than half a year and set off to seven villages to conduct reconnaissance.

Horses in the southwest are shorter, but they are not slow.

Zhang Shusheng continued: "Open the arsenal, distribute ten Makqin heavy machine guns, and distribute live ammunition to each platoon!" ”

From the news of the arrival of bandits, to armed reconnaissance and the issuance of heavy machine guns, every soldier felt the proximity of battle. The militia internal affairs team quickly carried out ten heavy machine guns, one in front of each platoon. There weren't many opportunities for this thing to shoot with live ammunition, and the soldiers who were assigned to heavy machine gun shooters were even more nervous.

Zhang Shusheng: "Immediately send someone to notify the engineer Herman of the Ordnance Factory, and the artillery team will immediately carry out artillery maintenance!" ”

By the time Herman arrived in a state of great excitement, the militia had all assembled. When the soldiers stood in place and finished eating the dry food in the marching bag, Zhang Shusheng and others also agreed on the marching route.

"Since the bandits are coming from the direction of the Jinsha River, they must not have disturbed the villages on the front line at this time. Otherwise, the soldiers of the left-behind militia regiments stationed in our villages will definitely report back urgently. In these villages, it only takes half an hour to ride a fast horse. "For a very simple map of Xiaoqingshan in his hand, Li Junming, who graduated from the Yunnan Army Martial Arts Hall, quickly analyzed the enemy situation, and his tactical literacy was relatively high.

"I'm afraid that the enemy will secretly Chen Cang, and he will openly grab grain, but in fact, he will go straight to the headquarters of Shusheng Company, and as soon as the main force of the militia leaves, Lishuping will be in danger. This is the root of Xiaoqingshan. Wu Tiejun reminded.

Zhang Shusheng thought for a while and said: "The bandits' intention is nothing more than to rob things, whether they are robbing money or food, or robbing the headquarters. Since you can't sit back and wait, you can only catch up. Just in case, I left a company and four heavy machine guns to defend Lishuping, Wu Tiejun was in charge, and the other companies set off with me to the village in the direction of the Jinsha River. As long as the reconnaissance group is sent in a fan shape along the way, even if the enemy has different intentions, there will be enough time to prepare to block the attack. ”

"Yes!" The people answered.

When Zhang Shusheng saw Zhuge Sheng, who was still staying in the guardroom, he couldn't help but call over Wu Tiejun and said, "I will let Zhuge Sheng go to meet the bandits together as a spectator." Before I came back, if there was any change in the family members of the second battalion, they would all be arrested! ”

The explanation to Sun Changqing was even more mysterious, and when the two walked far away, Zhang Shusheng secretly took out a small intercom from his bag and signaled to Sun Changqing: "Uncle Changqing, once something urgent happens, do what I told you before." ”

"Shusheng, don't worry, Uncle Changqing won't be wrong even if he dies." Sun Changqing also hid one close to him, which was synthesized by Zhang Shusheng with a dream machine and used for two long-distance intercoms in emergency situations.

The military situation was critical, and Zhang Shusheng immediately led more than 500 militia soldiers to set off quickly with six heavy machine guns and the only mountain artillery.
