After eliminating Chen Kang and his minions who came to send him to death, Qian Yuanshan immediately ordered the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" to divide into two routes. The main force of the battle along the way was led by him, Tang Chao and Muttle, and immediately set off for the "Feiyun Village" a few miles away to completely destroy it. On the other hand, Xin Feiyu led the Eighth Squad, the Logistics Squad, and other troops including the Third Squadron, who were responsible for staying in their own camp, cleaning up the battlefield and burying the killed "Feiyunzhai" minions on the spot.

The plan has been decided, and everyone will act separately. Qian Yuanshan, Tang Chao, and Muttel led the combat troops all the way to the "Feiyun Village" in the afternoon.

Unlike the previous "Baihua Village" minions who defended the village and the "Zishi Village" minions who abandoned the village and fled, the "Feiyun Village" only 100 minions were still very strong. Although Qian Yuanshan and the others had an absolute advantage in numbers, the soldiers guarding the "Feiyun Village" did not flinch, but rushed out of the village under the leadership of a leader, preparing to fight to the death with the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" - these minions knew very well that the enemy brigade was killed outside their own village, which meant that their own village owner and the hundreds of brothers were already more than lucky. Moreover, since the other party can defeat his main force, these people left behind in the stockade will naturally not be the opponent of the other party.

In the face of this unfavorable situation, which is inevitable to die, the minions of "Feiyun Village" made a choice that a man should make -- he knew that he could not do it, even if he was far inferior to the enemy in strength, he still had to fight with the enemy. In line with the principle of "killing one is enough, killing two to earn one", these minions who have made up their minds to die have killed their own village and lined up in front of the village. Moreover, to the surprise of Qian Yuanshan and others, among the enemies who rushed out of the "Feiyun Village", in addition to those dressed as minions, there were also many members dressed in casual clothes, or gray-haired, or childish. What's more, from the perspective of Qian Yuanshan and others, there seem to be a few women among these people.

From the bottom of their hearts, Qian Yuanshan and others still admired the series of performances of the "Feiyun Village" left-behind minions, and felt that Chen Kang and his brothers did not win the title of "the first bandit in Youzhou" in vain. However, admiration is admiration, and surprise is surprise. In the current situation of confrontation between the two sides, Qian Yuanshan and others will not have the idea of sympathizing with each other and giving these so-called "heroes and heroes" on the other side a way to live.

Therefore, as soon as the left-behind minions of the "Feiyun Village" on the opposite side finished plating, Qian Yuanshan pointed the horizontal knife in his hand forward, and the infantry of the two squadrons, the rangers of a squad, and the artillery of a squad, opened fire almost at the same time, and the dense rain of bullets instantly shrouded the phalanx arranged by the minions of the "Feiyun Village".

After a short, fierce and unsuspenseful battle, the more than 100 "Feiyun Village" minions who went out of the village to meet the enemy were almost no longer standing. The Ranger squad, under the leadership of Muttle, quickly swept through the opponent's completely dispersed formation, and while replenishing the minions of the "Feiyun Village" who were not yet dead, they rushed into the "Feiyun Village" like a lightning speed.

After the battle, it took two days for the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" to clean up the "Feiyun Village"; under Li Fu's command, the soldiers had to endure the smell of blood and bury all the enemy's corpses -- fortunately, it was now the beginning of September of the lunar calendar, and the weather was not as hot as the previous two battles, and the corpses would not decompose quickly. Otherwise, I am afraid that the soldiers who are responsible for burying the corpses will not be able to eat for many days.

On the morning of the fifth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, after a fire ignited the "Feiyun Village", the "Feilong Pioneer Battalion", under the leadership of Qian Yuanshan and others, pulled all kinds of booty, escorted dozens of prisoners, and happily embarked on the journey back to their base camp.

After a full ten days of trekking, the army arrived at the "Flying Dragon Village" on the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As was the case in the previous two triumphal walks, Wang Kunjun and other committee members and alternate members personally led a part of their brothers, together with Zeng Zhilin and other soldiers who stayed behind, to meet them at the gate of the village.

When the brothers meet, they naturally greet each other and express their parting feelings. When Qian Yuanshan and others walked into the gate of the "Flying Dragon Village" with Wang Kunjun and other committee members, they all noticed the two columns of soldiers at the end of the welcome procession without exception. There were about 100 soldiers in these two columns, although they were all strong and strong, but unlike the soldiers of the 3rd Squadron who greeted them in front of them holding the brand-new "55" rifles, the soldiers of the two columns of Zuihou still held spears and knives in their hands. Moreover, in terms of their mental outlook and the quality of their military posture, it is obvious that they are at the level of recruits. ,

The combination of a fierce body, a rudimentary weapon, and a rough military posture made Qian Yuanshan and others guess the origin of more than 100 people. I heard Qian Yuanshan pointing at these soldiers and asking: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, could this more than 100 soldiers be the miners selected by the brothers from several mines?" ”

"Brother Eleventh guessed right," Zhang Weixin replied, "they are those miners and soldiers. After a month's training of Lao Twenty-six, Liu Dangjia, and other veterans of the 'Pioneer Battalion', the first stage of basic training has been completed. Pulling them out to greet your brothers today can be regarded as an examination of their training results over the past month. ”

Hearing this, Qian Yuanshan stepped forward, came to the front of a miner soldier, stretched out his fist and struck the opponent's shoulder - although Qian Yuanshan did not really hit with a strong force, but with his skills, the weight of these punches was by no means light. Although the soldier who was beaten made Qian Yuanshan's punches shake a little, in addition to trying his best to restore his balance, he neither immediately showed a painful expression, nor did he change his military posture and movements, still holding his chest up and looking ahead. His outstretched arms and the spear in his hand still maintained the posture of saluting Qian Yuanshan and the others, without any change.

Qian Yuanshan was very satisfied with the performance of this soldier, and said: "Yes, these miners are really born to be soldiers. In just a month, there are already some soldiers. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Yuanshan turned his head to look at Zeng Zhilin, who was walking side by side with him, and praised: "Being able to train the miner recruits so well, the twenty-sixth brother is definitely the first achievement." ”

"What the eleventh brother said is very true," Wang Kunjun agreed, "the twenty-sixth brother has spent a lot of effort and effort to train this batch of miner recruits in the past month, and the honor of the first contribution to the expansion of the army belongs to him." ”

Hearing the two brothers praise themselves so much, Zeng Zhilin was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again: "The two brothers praised it falsely. This expansion of the army, from the initial Jihua to the selection of new recruits in the back, is all brothers working together. Brother, I just did what I could in it, and where can I deserve the name of the first contribution to the expansion of the army. Even the recent recruit training is not done by the brothers alone, Liu Dangjia and many veterans of the Third Squadron are involved. To say credit, they are not much less than my brothers. ”

"Brother Zeng, this is the real fallacy, Liu is just teaching the recruits some superficial fist and foot kung fu, how can it be compared with Brother Zeng." Liu Wanbao also kept prevaricating when he heard this.

Subsequently, the brothers naturally pushed me again, and no one wanted to accept this honor of the first merit.

While the brothers were talking, they came to the "Gathering Hall". At this time, Liu Wanbao, the only one who was not a traverser, was very interested in accusing Wang Kunjun, Qian Yuanshan and others on the grounds that he still had official business, and then left everyone and went to his office.

Without the presence of "outsiders", the traversers who entered the "Gathering Hall" began to talk without scruples.

First of all, it was Qian Yuanshan, on behalf of the forward command, who reported to the committee on the action of suppressing the "Feiyun Village". On the one hand, the committee fully affirmed the work of the forward command headquarters, and on the other hand, it was very satisfied with the performance of the new rifle in this battle, and felt that the high investment in the development and production of weapons was not in vain -- of course, with the "Feiyunzhai" being wiped out, the "Operation Temper No. 1" was also successfully concluded.

Second, Zeng Zhilin, on behalf of the commanders of the squad and above who remained behind in the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion," reported to the committee and the military department on the training of new recruits over the past month. After once again praising Zeng Zhilin's performance in the training work, the group further deepened the training of the miner recruits and began to train them in new rifles and reached a consensus that there were now enough weapons to equip these recruits with the production of rifles and bullets in the Weapons Section.

After discussing the above two things, the brothers began to pay attention to the next step of the expansion of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion". Although it will take another two months for the miner recruits to complete all the basic training, considering that the next stage of recruit training will be much larger than it is now, and the quality of the recruits participating in the training will be lower than these miner recruits, it is very necessary to start making arrangements now.

On this issue, the rolling training jihua proposed by the Ministry of Military Affairs was approved by the commission. The so-called "rolling training" refers to the next stage of recruits being divided into groups, and each group goes up the mountain in batches to be relayed by different groups of instructors - each instructor group only teaches the part of the training that they are responsible for, and the rest is responsible for the rest of the instructor groups. Each batch of recruits will go through several different groups of instructors from their initial training to zuihou until they have completed the entire training content.

The main reason for this training method is that it is impossible for the team to pull all the selected recruits to the mountain at once. On the one hand, the situation of the selected recruits is not the same, and it is difficult to ensure that everyone can finish the family affairs and go up the mountain together at the same time - although the crossing team can be called the heaven of these tenants, but in order to be able to control these people more in the future, the brothers are not willing to force these people to go up the mountain at the same time in too strong a way.

On the other hand, considering that a large number of young and strong people will be recruited to the mountains in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause a significant change in the number of people in each resettlement site, which will attract the attention of the government. Therefore, before Gu Anjia, Zhou Libo, Duan Cheng and others led the latest batch of displaced people from the Northern Han Dynasty to arrive in Youzhou, the team could only adopt this ant-like way to send a large number of recruits to the "Flying Dragon Village" for training.
