"It's just a bandit den of more than 1,000 people, with the strength of the reconnaissance battalion, you can take it lightly, right?" Wu Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand why James felt embarrassed.

The soldiers of the instructor's reconnaissance battalion were originally the elite selected from the division, and their combat effectiveness was far superior to that of other infantry battalions. In addition, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion are also adept at detecting enemy situations. Dealing with some beards shouldn't be a big deal.

"Now there are more than 1,000 people in Erlong Mountain. Because of the bandits before the instructor, the rest of the bandits are grouped. On Erlong Mountain, there are at least 3,000 people at the moment, or even more. In addition, the terrain of Erlong Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to take it down at one time. James shook his head.

"The beards huddled, which was what we expected. However, even if there are as many as 3,000 bandits on Erlong Mountain, what can they do? With the strength of the reconnaissance battalion, it is completely possible to eat them. Let's go, I'm also involved in this battle. My guards joined in. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

Last winter, Wu Haoxuan's guard was also formed, and the strength was equivalent to a company. All the officers and men of the Guard were drawn from among the instructors. Not only is the combat quality very strong, but the hand is also very good. Specialized training was also provided in the areas of security and counter-assassination.

After all, if you offend the Japanese, who knows if the Japanese intelligence agencies will assassinate Wu Haoxuan? Although Wu Haoxuan is not a person who is afraid of death, he also does not want to hang up before his dream is realized. Therefore, you have to give priority to ensuring your own life.

"Alright, I'm going to gather the troops." James nodded.

Half an hour later, the reconnaissance battalion and Wu Haoxuan's guards, together with more than 1,300 people, left Baicheng and headed for Erlong Mountain. A company was located two kilometers in front of the main force to reconnoitre, avoiding an enemy ambush.

Although, Erlong Mountain is only more than sixty miles away from Baicheng. However, the mountain road was difficult, and it took them an afternoon to reach a place about ten miles away from Erlong Mountain. At this moment, the sky was already dark, and Wu Haoxuan ordered the troops to camp on the spot and launch an attack on Erlong Mountain tomorrow.

At this moment, the beards of Erlongshan have already learned the news that the Jilin Army is heading for Erlongshan. Suddenly, in Erlong Village, the beards were in a mess. Especially those beards who had only recently fled to Erlong Mountain, even more Jian yì immediately abandoned Erlong Mountain and fled here. It's just that their construction was rejected by the two chiefs of Erlong Mountain.

Erlongzhai has been in existence for 30 years, and they already have feelings for this place. Besides, in addition to those beards, there are many old and weak women and children on the mountain. If these old and weak women and children want to move, it is not so easy. Hidden, the two leaders of Erlong Mountain believe that the most important thing is to hold on to Erlong Mountain.

The two leaders of Erlong Mountain, the eldest is named Li Zhenwu, and the second is named Li Yanling. That's right, they're a brother and sister. The previous leader was none other than their father. After the death of the old leader, their brother and sister took over the leadership of Erlong Mountain.

Under the development of their two siblings, Erlongshan became one of the most powerful forces in the vicinity of Baicheng. When the Jilin Army began to suppress bandits on a large scale, countless beards fled to Erlong Mountain, which greatly increased their strength.

"The two in charge, the Jilin Army this time is not easy to deal with! The entire western part of Jilin was wiped out by them. Near Baicheng, only Erlong Mountain remains. Next, it will definitely become the target of their key attack. In my opinion, it is better to retreat as soon as possible, so as not to hit the stone with an egg. A burly middle-aged man said. Originally, he was also the leader of a bearded army, with hundreds of people under his command. However, he was attacked by an infantry company of the Jilin Army, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses, so he took dozens of people to Erlong Mountain.

"Liu Laoqi, you are also a character on the ground in Baicheng, could it be that you were frightened by the official army? It's not like Erlongshan hasn't been attacked before, but whether it's the Qinggou officers and soldiers or the Russians, they can't do anything about us. Now that the father and son of the Wu family have changed, they want to exterminate Erlong Mountain, and it is impossible. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman with a look of disdain, she is Li Yanling, the second leader of Erlongzhai. Although she is a woman, she does not let her eyebrows go. is not only good, but also has a flexible head, and is her brother Li Zhenwu's right-hand man.

"The second leader is not that Liu Laoqi is timid, but that the strength of the official army is much stronger this time. The whole of Jilin and Heilongjiang has launched a campaign to exterminate the beard. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were dispatched. Although the number of beards is more, after a month, most of them have been eliminated. The rest of the beard is also lingering. Another old bearded man said. His name was Chen Laohei, and he was also the leader of a bearded group. However, their cottage was breached by the Jilin Army, and he escaped with his life, so he joined Erlong Mountain.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind. Since the official army wants to exterminate us, let them see how powerful my Erlong Mountain is! Li Zhenwu, the big boss of Erlong Mountain, finally clapped his head.

"Listen to the orders of the big boss!" Although everyone was a little frightened in their hearts, the big boss had already decided, and they had no choice.

"Report! An army of about 1,000 people came down from the mountain, currently stationed at the foot of the mountain, about ten miles from Erlong Mountain. A bearded man reported.

"Just in time. Big brother, give me a team of men, and I'll meet this army of officers. If you can defeat them at night, you can kill their prestige. Li Yanling immediately asked for battle.

Li Zhenwu hesitated, but nodded. Li Yanling's methods, he is clear. Although it is rumored that the strength of the official army is very strong, hearing is false, and seeing is believing.

"Okay, little sister, you can take five hundred elites. Remember, if the enemy is strong, don't force it. Li Zhenwu admonished.

"Well, don't worry, big brother, you just wait for the news of my victory." Li Yanling said nonchalantly. She didn't take the so-called officers and soldiers into account at all, thinking that the Jilin Army, like the previous Manchu Qing Dynasty officers and troops, was a garbage army that only knew how to bully the poor people.

Soon, Li Yanling took the five hundred elites of Erlong Mountain down the mountain, wanting to catch the Jilin Army by surprise. But, soon she will learn how wrong she was.

After the reconnaissance battalion and Wu Haoxuan's guards were encamped, a large number of elite scouts were deployed. They hid in the woods, closely monitoring their surroundings. In addition, on a flat ground at the bottom of the mountain, several mortars were impressively deployed here. The artillery sleeps next to these mortars, and in the event of an attack, they can provide fire support to the troops as soon as possible.

In addition, a lot of light and heavy machine gun fire points were secretly deployed. It is almost impossible to sneak up on the reconnaissance battalion.

Wu Haoxuan's expulsion was located in the center of the entire camp, surrounded by his guards.

"James, do you think there will be any guests tonight?" Wu Haoxuan smiled.

"I think so. We marched to Erlong Mountain with such fanfare, and those bandits must have already known the news. James said. The reason why they set out from Baicheng this afternoon and then marched to Erlong Mountain with great fanfare was to inform the beard on the mountain that they had come. Then, wait for these mustaches to come from the net.

"Haha! Then we'll wait for what big fish we'll catch tonight. Wu Haoxuan laughed.

He believed that with the strength of the reconnaissance battalion and his guards, even if they were attacked by those beards, they would definitely be able to cope with it. What's more, this time it's a deliberate calculation. If Beard wants to launch a night attack, he will definitely give them a little bit of a taste.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was midnight. In the camp of the reconnaissance battalion, except for a few bonfires, the rest of the fires have been extinguished. Most of the officers and soldiers had already fallen asleep. However, during the suppression of bandits, everyone slept in their clothes. Spread a blanket on the ground and sleep on it with a gun in your arms. Roll the blanket over and you'll be able to withstand the cold. Especially at this time, the weather is not cold, and sleeping in the wild is not a problem at all.

Although Wu Haoxuan is a young marshal, he is the same as the soldiers, without any exceptions. And this kind of behavior of sharing weal and butter with the soldiers undoubtedly makes it easier for Wu Haoxuan to win the love of the soldiers.

In the woods, towering trees stand one after another, and in the grass stacks on or under the trees, a pair of bright eyes are watching a qiē. The elite Scouts, like night owls, are ready to welcome the incoming guests.

At the foot of the cliff about a mile away from the camp of the reconnaissance battalion, Li Yanling, the second leader of Erlong Mountain, was leading hundreds of men and horses to wait here. Although she said that she was not afraid of the Jilin Army, in order to be cautious, she still sent someone to inquire about the situation before launching an attack.

"The second master, the little black man, they are back." A bearded man said to Li Yanling.

Then, a small, dark and thin young man ran over.

"Oh? Little sunspot, how's the situation going? Li Yanling immediately asked.

"The second master, those officers and soldiers are asleep, I led a few brothers, and touched it in. It is only a few dozen meters away from their camp. Those officers and soldiers slept like dead pigs, and if it weren't for the fear of startling the snakes, I would have been ready to do it. Xiao Heizi said with a contemptuous face.

In fact, the little blacks didn't know that their every move was under the control of the elite scouts of the reconnaissance battalion. It's just that I didn't attack them in order to catch big fish with a long line.

"Okay, brothers, get ready to go, let those officers and soldiers know how good we are." Li Yanling immediately ordered his subordinates to attack.
