Bandits are a very special profession, and bandits are a special group composed of such special practitioners. In people's concepts, bandits are often associated with robbers and bullies, and if there is an army, then the common people will associate them with the vulnerability of the rabble. In the eyes of the government, bandits are robbers, extortionists, lack political vision, destroyers of law and order, behave in a dissolute manner, do whatever they want, and do not want to be subject to any restraint, etc.

In particular, since the beginning of the Republic of China, the Nationalist Government and local warlords have attacked each other for power and interests, and the people's lives have been extremely difficult, and social order has been in great chaos, resulting in tens of millions of bandits, large and small.

These bandits vary in size, and some have one or two leaders who pull up poles on the ground, gather dozens of people, and form gangs to carry out robbery activities in a relatively small area. The names of small bandits vary from place to place, from "scarlets" in the northeast region to "poles" in northern China, and to the halls or shares in southern China.

In addition to these small bandits, there is also a large group of bandits that cause headaches for the government, this kind of bandits are generally composed of several or dozens of small bandits, and a total of one is the most powerful and courageous person as the big leader, also called the head of the pole, also known as the head of the house, the shopkeeper. The big boss has the right to give orders to kill and seize internally, and has the right to contact everything on behalf of his subordinates externally, and the bandits call the big boss the uncle, and the following leaders are called the second master, the third master, the young master, etc. Large bandits range from a few hundred to thousands or tens of thousands. Plundering over a wide geographical area.

For example, the Bai Lang Uprising in 1912 was a great uprising led by bandits, and at its strongest, Bai Lang united 34 bandits with hundreds of people each, totaling more than 50,000 people. Bai Lang is the head of the big pole, and the following 34 people, including the white blind man, Song Lao, Zhang Qiyun, Zhang Jiande, and Li Hong, are the head of the pole, and "the rest of the small ones are really difficult to count." For example, the Sun Meiyao group in Zaozhuang, Shandong, which is also a bandit group.

Human beings are social animals, and any kind of organization in human society must follow certain rules in order to exist and carry out activities for a long time. Subject to certain constraints. There can be no absolute freedom, absolute unconstrained. Bandits are human beings, so bandit organizations are the most dissolute, scattered, and unwilling of all the organizations in human society. However, this means that they are not bound by the laws, morals, and other public rules of a normal society, generally speaking. Most bandit ranks are internally constrained. The discipline of some bandit corps is quite strict.

Wang Laohu's bandit gang is the largest gang in Hebei. In such a large gang, rules are a must. At the beginning of the establishment of the gang, the "Four Covenants", "Eight Reward Rules", "Eight Chopping Rules" and "Ten No Robberies" were formulated. The "Four Covenants" are: to keep secrets; Be disciplined; Suffering together; Rest with the mountains.

The "Eight Reward Rules" and "Eight Chopping Rules" are the principles of their rewards and punishments, that is, those who are loyal to the mountain are rewarded; reward for those who refuse the enemy's officers and soldiers; The one with the most horses will be rewarded; Expand the rewards of mountain servants; Reward for spying on the enemy; The one who receives the most people will be rewarded; Strive for the first reward; Those who work together will be rewarded. Those who leak secrets are beheaded; Those who resist the order and do not comply will be beheaded; Those who escaped from the battle were beheaded; Adultery and adultery shall be beheaded; The one who leads the water is chopped; The one who swallows the head of the water is beheaded; Those who bully their own kind will be beheaded; Those who molest women are beheaded.

"Ten do not rob" is the principle of bandits going out to rob. That is, the happy car is not robbed; Postmen don't rob; The ferryman does not rob; Backpacks do not rob doctors; Those who play money and gamble do not rob; Don't grab the eight-strand rope; Car shops don't rob; Monks, Taoists, and nuns do not rob; Widows and lonely do not rob; Single night walkers do not rob.

It is precisely because of such rules that Wang Laohu's gang will develop into the largest quilt in Hebei in just over ten years, and even the national government can't do anything about them.

However, these people can be bandits, but not all of them are willing to be traitors, and Qin Yiwu is one of them.

Qin Yiwu is a native of Shimen, originally a company commander of the Handan Garrison Brigade, because Shangguan fell in love with Qin Yiwu's wife, so he framed him for colluding with the bandits, so he sent someone to arrest him, and at the same time forced his wife to comply, otherwise he would be executed.

Fortunately, Qin Yiwu had a group of good brothers, and when they saw that Qin Yiwu was in trouble, they went to rob the prison as soon as they could. However, when they rushed to Qin Yiwu's house to take Qin Yiwu's wife and mother out, they found that Qin Yiwu's family was in a mess, and Qin Yiwu's wife was lying in a pool of blood, already exhausted. And although Qin Yiwu's wife is not dead, she is about to die, and the scissors in her chest have been stained red with blood.

It turned out that the commander of the Handan Garrison Brigade where Qin Yiwu was located was ready to forcibly occupy Qin Yiwu's wife, but he was forced to die by Qin Yiwu's wife and wife, and he was most annoyed and angry and beat Qin Yiwu's wife to death.

In a tragic upheaval, Qin Yiwu led seventy or eighty brothers to attack the brigade headquarters at night, killing all 14 officers, including the commander of the garrison brigade, in the barracks, and burning the barracks to the ground with a fire. Therefore, Qin Yiwu became a wanted criminal by the national government, and in desperation, he had no choice but to fall into the grass and enter Wang Laohu's locks.

By the time of 37 years, Qin Yiwu had climbed to the third position of the bandits, second only to Wang Laohu, the big boss, and Hu Han, the second leader, and Qin Yiwu was also the big army division of the gang, formulating action plans and strategies, and had great power.

When the Japanese came in, Qin Yiwu actually had the idea of fighting devils, as a former soldier, the ideal of protecting the family and defending the country still exists, and being a bandit for a lifetime is not a way out, it is not the best way out for bandits to become regular soldiers to wash away the sins on their bodies.

But it's a pity that this idea was destroyed by the big boss before it was implemented, Wang Laohu wanted to take them as traitors, although Qin Yiwu was very reluctant, but there was no way, his little arms couldn't twist his thighs, and he followed Wang Laohu into the puppet army, became a traitor, and was appointed as the chief of staff of the 13th Group. After the expansion of the unit, he was appointed deputy commander of the 7th Division of the North China Public Security Army.

In the past two years, under the planning of Qin Yiwu. The puppet 7th Division passed by the troops of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party many times, and only participated in a few small-scale security battles, and the results were mediocre.

This time, the Japanese army wantonly arrested Chinese civilians to serve as a cover for blocking and grabbing eyes, including the relatives of the soldiers of the Seventh Division of the puppet army, which itself made the puppet officers and soldiers extremely angry, and they were bullied by the Japanese army for a long time, so a large part of the puppet army did not contribute to the work during the daytime battle, which made the Japanese army very dissatisfied.

So after the battle, the Japanese army executed two battalion commanders and one deputy regiment commander for the crime of ineffective combat, which caused great anger among the puppet army. Lips and teeth are cold. Several officers of the 7th Infantry Division of the puppet North China Public Security Army found Qin Yiwu, and the two sides hit it off and decided to carry out an uprising tonight to rescue the people in the city. Then go to Chen Feng.

But since the east gate is the main position. Where the Japanese army hoarded a large number of troops. Wherever you flee, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties and may not succeed. And Simon has not yet discovered China. Army, so where the Japanese army was placed only one infantry squadron. Therefore, Qin Yiwu and others decided to break through from the West Gate.

After the gunshots in the city rang out, Yang Yi and the others were caught off guard by the sudden situation, and they didn't hear any rumors in advance, could this be the conspiracy of the little devils?

But as the gunfire in the city became more and more urgent, and even heard the sound of cannons, Yang Yi knew that there must be something wrong with the Japanese puppet army in the city, and judging from the gunshots, one side used the 38 big cover, which must be the regular troops of the Japanese army. The guns on the other side are chaotic, there are all kinds of guns, at first glance it is not a regular army, the city is equipped with this kind of Wanguo brand weapons must be the puppet army, that is to say, the Japanese army and the puppet army in Zhengding County have done it.

Good opportunity, if this is the case, it is an excellent opportunity to completely annihilate the defenders of Zhengding, Yang Yi immediately made a decision, while sending a report to Chen Feng to report the situation, while ordering the troops to attack the Japanese army at the east gate, and at the same time sent a small force around the west gate to check the situation.

Qin Yiwu's uprising on the battlefield made the Japanese army extremely panicked, although three thousand puppet troops were nothing, if it was in peacetime, at most one brigade could easily annihilate them, but now it was different, there were tens of thousands of elite troops outside, and one accidentally not only could not destroy those puppet troops, but even threw their own two infantry wings into it. So the Japanese army strictly guarded against the surprise attack of Yang Yi's department, and at the same time dispatched two infantry brigades to encircle and suppress Qin Yiwu's department.

The number of rebel troops was not large, only two infantry regiments and one cavalry battalion and one guard battalion, and the total strength was only more than 3,000 people. The rebel forces first seized the Hu family compound where the Chinese people were imprisoned, and then seized the West City Gate, where the Japanese army was relatively empty, and then blocked the Japanese attack while covering the retreat of the common people.

Their weapons and equipment were already very poor, and in addition to the fact that they had been begging for a living under the coercion of the Japanese army for a long time, and they also had to cover the escape of five or six thousand civilians, so the casualties of the troops were very large.

In less than 20 minutes of the battle, the 3,000 rebels suffered five or six hundred casualties, and if they continued like this, they would be wiped out for a maximum of an hour. But the matter has come to this point, it's too late to regret it, besides, some of the ordinary people they cover have their relatives, and they can't talk about regrets, all the rebels know that once the uprising fails, not only will they die without a place to be buried, but even those ordinary people will not have a good end, and they have been working behind the little devil's ass for so long, how can they not know what kind of virtue those bitches raise.

All the rebels were determined to die, and they only hoped that they could hold out a little longer, to buy some more time for the fleeing civilians.

Forty minutes into the battle, Qin Yiwu was wounded, more than half of the officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, two infantry regiment commanders were killed and wounded, and only 9 of the 16 chief and deputy battalion commanders were left, and the most important thing was that they were bitten by the Japanese army. The only fortunate thing is that the vast majority of the civilians who were forcibly captured by the Japanese army escaped from the city, and only less than 300 people were left surrounded by the Japanese army at the city gate.

"Brothers, we have been bandits for most of our lives, we have been traitors for two years, we have never done a single thing in our lives, but today we have done a good job! Even if we die, we can go to see our parents and parents in a dignified manner, today we can't withdraw from the city, and the little devils will not accept our surrender, the only thing we can do is to fight with this group of kings and babes! Qin Yiwu dragged his injured arm and shouted loudly.

"Fight with the little devil!"

"I lost a bowl of my head and got a big scar, and after eighteen years, I am a good man again, and I will fight!"

"Fight!"

"Da Da Da!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a fierce gunfire outside the west gate, and the Japanese soldiers on the city wall cried and shouted for their mother!

In everyone's astonishment, Qin Yiwu suddenly said loudly: "Brothers, we are saved!" Reinforcements! It's our reinforcements! ”
