The news that the battalion directly under the brigade headquarters was going to suppress the bandits soon spread in a small area of the garrison headquarters, and Fang Qidao hurriedly came to stop him.

"Weizhong, you can't be rash."

Wu Xiaoliang didn't continue Fang Qidao's words, and said quietly: "This is the last thing I can do for the people of Hunan, the officialdom is rotten, our Fourth Brigade is in Changsha, and the owners all regard you and me as flood beasts, and they all wish that the Fourth Brigade would get out of the way as soon as possible." To my brother, do you believe it or not, let's walk on the front foot, and these turtle sons dare to set off firecrackers on the back foot to celebrate. ”

Fang Qidao's gendarmerie has been prevaricated and constrained by various government departments in Changsha these days, and when he heard Wu Xiaoliang say this, he couldn't help but say with hatred: "Then investigate, if one is found to have a problem, shoot one, and deal with these turtle sons must be dealt with with with a heavy hand." ”

Wu Xiaoliang shook his head and said with a smile: "When did Brother Zhi become so iron-blooded?" Can you kill them all? This is not realistic. ”

Fang Qidao sighed: "It's really not fun to be the overseer of this Laoshizi, this can't move, that can't move, fortunately, we have to go back to Beijing, don't have to suffer from this bird's anger." ”

"You understand why I'm going to fight the bandits this time, right?" Wu Xiaoliang said with a teasing smile on his face.

"This ......" Fang Qidao was discouraged for a while, he couldn't convince himself, did he still expect Wu Xiaoliang's stubborn donkey to change his mind?

A local staff officer suddenly interjected: "The suppression of bandits by the officers and soldiers has been a headache for many years, they gather together, and there is a sentry on the top of every mountain in the area of activity, as long as the current officers and soldiers come to them, they will release guns to warn, and the rest of the people will flee en masse, if it is a whole team, I am afraid that they will not even be able to fight." "The local staff officer has no background, and the table is mediocre, and he has been in the position of the staff officer for many years, although the garrison commander has changed more than a dozen, but he has become the staff officer of the garrison headquarters because of his old qualifications, and he said that he fell into the memory, "In the first year of the Republic of China, the garrison commander ordered to go into the mountains to suppress bandits and water bandits, and until the third year of the Republic of China, he left office and still had no effect, during which millions of bullets were consumed, so the successor garrison commanders were willing to go to suppress bandits. ”

Fang Qidao saw that the staff officer said that he was injected, and immediately supported: "Weizhong think twice, suppressing bandits is not a hard-fought battle, we can't catch them, and it won't end well if they are made disgraced in the end." ”

"Brother Zhizhi, I understand that you are for my good, but this Hunjiang Dragon colluded with He Fengju to do such a hurtful thing, if you don't go to suppress it, won't you come to Hunan for nothing, what else can I do for the people of Hunan? Let me kill those filthy politicians? It's better to have a good time than to suppress the bandits. Wu Xiaoliang was a little excited, and said steadily: "Look at Miss Mei, a good lady, a good lady, a good showman, everyone's demeanor, as a result, how do you let me face her tears." ”

"......" Fang Qidao opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

"As a soldier, I should protect my family and defend the country, and let politicians have a headache for dirty things."

The battalion came out that night, Wu Xiaoliang followed the cavalry company first, and the infantry company followed. Mei Yunting and Mei Jinxue heard that they were going to suppress the bandits, and they also volunteered to follow, Wu Xiaoliang refused, Mei Jinxue blinked, and said a reason that he couldn't refuse, she had been wandering in the Mishui generation for half a year and knew everything about the situation there, and she even knew a few nests where the Hunjiang dragon often haunted.

Wu Xiaoliang was helpless, nodded and asked, "Can you ride a horse?" ”

"Can ride!" Mei Jinxue gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay, get on the horse, get out."

Mei Jinxue didn't need anyone's assistance to turn over and get on the horse.

Wu Xiaoliang clamped the horse's belly between his legs, shook the reins, and the white horse under his crotch ran out. The cavalry company directly under the brigade headquarters disappeared into the dark night with the sound of hurried horse hooves, and the infantry also began to advance in an orderly manner.

Wu Xiaoliang and his cavalry company did not go north on the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, but took the old highway, running in the middle of the night, when there were still more than ten miles away from Mishui, people were sleepy and horses were tired, so they decided to rest in place. Suddenly, the fire was shining, and immediately ordered someone to go to check, it turned out that there was a broken temple in front of him, but the scout had not yet approached, the gunshots rang out, the fire was extinguished immediately, and the person who fired the gun left a corpse and fled in a hurry.

After Wu Xiaoliang ordered a platoon to pursue the suspicious bandits who shot them, they came to the ruined temple, only to see that the ashes were newly extinguished, and the peanuts scattered all over the ground also emitted a burst of aroma. After careful searching, they found two handfuls of Hanyang-made in the haystack next to the temple, and there were bullets in them, which they obviously hid in a hurry.

Soon, a scout came back and reported: "Brigade commander, the bandits have fled into a nearby village after being chased." What should I do if a queue leader asks for instructions? ”

In the old days of the Republic of China, bandits formed gangs when they robbed, and they scattered into familiar villages to disguise themselves on weekdays, Wu Xiaoliang muttered and ordered: "Surround the village and gather all men, women, and children in the courtyard." ”

"Yes!" The Scout took the order.

In a short time, the village heard the cries of children, the barking of dogs and the faint sound of low curses, and the villagers were gathered in the courtyard of the village, and there were hundreds of them.

The torches illuminated the whole courtyard, and the soldiers were loaded with guns and ammunition, staring at each other, some timid villagers trembling and thinking about their lives, sparing their lives, and some were full of vigilance and looked at these foreign soldiers with dissatisfaction. The cavalry company commander had a headache, how to find out the bandits from these villagers?

Wu Xiaoliang looked at the villagers in front of him in a deep voice, and said nothing for a long time before he spoke: "Go and investigate their mouths, and those who have peanut residues will be arrested." ”

The cavalry company commander's eyes lit up, and he didn't think of this idea, and immediately ordered the soldiers to investigate.

After investigating one by one, if they really got eight people, they immediately went to other villagers and interrogated the suspects carefully, one of them asked: "Why does the chief say that we are gangsters, and what evidence do you have?" ”

Wu Xiaoliang sneered and did not answer. In today's food scarcity, and in the middle of a winter night, how can ordinary villagers take expensive peanuts as a snack? He instead asked the old chief who had stayed behind to come and tell the origin of a few people.

"Don't be afraid, old chief! We are the Beiyang officers and soldiers who suppress bandits, you only need to distinguish whether these people are from the village or not. ”

The old Zhuang Chang trembled, took a closer look, and pointed to a half-sized boy and said, "Only the dog is from the Dongtou Widow Li's family, and the rest don't know each other." ”

Obviously, this group of people was attracted by half of the eldest son of Widow Li's family, and Wu Xiaoliang said to the person who questioned just now: "How? Let's talk about the origins, let's be polite, I'll just ask a few questions, and I'll let you go if the answers are good. ”

Because of that person, he was very disdainful, and when he saw that the officers and soldiers who caught them were only a company at best, this person was a company commander at best.

"You don't deserve to talk to us, our eldest brother is the division commander and the brigade commander are also politely picked up, what are you?"

The guard Li Wuyi wanted to come forward and beat him when he heard his wild words, but Wu Xiaoliang stopped him, and he had already guessed his origin, and he really stepped on the iron shoes and had nowhere to find them.

"Hunjiang Long is also the number one person, but the brigade commanders and division commanders who can interact with your eldest brother have been shot a few days ago."

Wu Xiaoliang's tone was very easy-going, but the person who listened to it was cold: he knew where we came from, and he made threats, could it be ......

"Smack-" Outside the village, a gunshot suddenly remembered.

A soldier came to report: "Brigade commander, ran a bandit." ”
