It was still early, and with the help of the military dogs, most of those who managed to escape were captured or killed in the next few hours.

But the process was not all smooth sailing, for example, three people hid in a cave in desperation, and the soldiers blocking the outside did not pay attention to any attempt to surrender, but instead hysterically shot and yelled.

"Listen to the dog stuff inside, come out honestly and give you a good time!"

"Come in if there's a seed!"

"Dog thing, come out!"

"Damn, sons of bitches, you guys came in!"

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, but they couldn't continue to consume here.

Due to the complex winding of the cave, the grenades thrown by everyone into it could not hurt the bandits, and taking the initiative to go in to clear it might cause unnecessary casualties on their own, so Zhou Changfeng immediately asked the anti-chemical platoon to help.

What could be more convenient and efficient against this stubborn creature in the cavern than a flamethrower?

Two soldiers with Type 33 flamethrowers cautiously approached the mouth of the cave and opened the safe, one of whom then turned sideways to aim the vent at the cave and pulled the trigger.

Gasoline is ejected by compressed nitrogen, which is ignited by an electric lighter at the vent.

Dragon-like flames poured into the cavern, and the heat caused the other soldiers around to frown.

After squirting all the gasoline in one go, the other man took over and poured the flames into it for several seconds.

Everyone could vaguely hear the screams and coughs coming from inside, as well as the movement of struggle, so they all aimed their guns at the hole, ready to shoot at any moment.

But in the end, no one escaped, because the raging flames used up the oxygen in the narrow cavern in a very short time.

In the end, only three charred corpses were dragged out of it.

Although the suppression of this stubborn bandit was not very smooth, the speed was indeed beyond Zhou Changfeng's imagination, he thought it would take ten days and half a month, but he didn't expect it to be over in more than two days.

"That's the end of it?" He even had some regrets.

If it takes ten days and half a month, it can be regarded as a full and qualified actual combat drill on complex terrain.

But it's only been two days, and it's a little bit of a point.

"Power generation report, but let's not rush out of the mountain first, and stay for two more days."

"Two more days?" Xie Wancheng, who was extremely puzzled, asked, "Shouldn't we be a teacher?" ”

"It's not easy to run all the way, the terrain and climate characteristics here are similar to those in the Nanyang region, and it is beneficial and harmless to practice for a while."

"But ......"

"No, but," Zhou Changfeng waved his hand, pointed to his feet and said, "It's better to sweat and bleed here than to die in the jungle of the South Seas." ”

"However, according to the confessions of the captured bandits, there are still more than a dozen people scattered in this Lijia Mountain." Zhao Hanfeng agreed, "Let's practice for a few more days, and we can just find them out by the way." ”

After an encounter with the sweeping detachment in the woods, some of the bandits scattered in the confusion and did not follow the others to the northwest stream, so they escaped and are still missing.

The bandits were simply beaten up, and the mood of the officers and men of the whole regiment was quite relaxed.

They piled up the corpses, which had been mutilated by the explosions and bullets, on the edge of the stream, but they did not feel bloody, but only felt that they deserved it.

Wooden speedboats drove over one after another, transporting the bodies out of the mountain, and then identifying them one by one.

Just as everyone was about to happily take the class, they saw their respective commanders reluctantly announce: Stay in this mountain for five more days to conduct survival, search, camping, and combat training under complex terrain.

It can be said that although the efficiency of this crackdown on bandits was quite high, many problems were inevitably exposed throughout the regiment, and it is necessary to sum up lessons and lessons.

When several thousand members of the 1st Marine Regiment continued to carry out a massive military training in the vicinity of Lijiashan, the officials who learned of the battle report were particularly surprised and puzzled.

Most of their first reactions were: It's only been two days, how come it's already "wiped out"?

Conveyed layer by layer, when Cheng Han, who was in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, learned about it, it was already the morning of the next day.

"So fast?" He took the telegram and glanced at it twice, and then ordered: "Send someone to check, and there must be no recurrence." ”

In fact, he was a little skeptical about this, because normally it was quite time-consuming to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, and it would take ten days and half a month to say the least, and a month if the action was slow.

It is unbelievable that he tracked down most of it and accurately predicted the direction of its escape and set up an ambush in advance.

If it's fake, wouldn't something big happen if it was played to the front of the emperor?

After the entanglement, he decided to suppress this battle report for a while, and wait for the call back to ask for confirmation before playing.

This has nothing to do with factional strife or political stance, not that he favors the navy, but simply thinks that he can't be careless when encountering such an anti-common sense situation, otherwise he will lose the face of the court by making a joke.

After a while, he received a call back, and the 1st Marine Regiment confirmed the results of the battle, and restated the report that "the leader of the bandits and most of the rest have been annihilated, and only a dozen or so people are scattered in the mountains, and the headquarters is carefully clearing them out, trying not to let go of a single one."

At this point, Cheng Han reported the matter to the imperial front.

Obviously, the emperor was quite concerned about this, so he also carefully examined the battle report, after all, this extraordinary efficiency of suppressing bandits made him a little curious and puzzled.

The war report was actually written by Yao Liangchuan, and I have to say that the civil official's ability in choosing words and forming sentences is still worthy of recognition, and the condensed but simple few hundred words have finished telling the story before and after, and it is vividly depicted.

Between Zhu Lingjing and reminding her father that she doesn't like self-proclaimed guys, Zhou Changfeng asked Yao Liangchuan not to brag about himself when writing the battle report, so the battle report gave most of the credit to the military dog unit and gunboats, as well as the officers and men of the whole regiment who were not afraid of hardships.

As for himself, it was just "strategizing, not enough to be successful".

It is true that "the PAW team made great contributions" and "the gunboats showed their might" are indeed true, but the commanders who can coordinate and let them give full play to their abilities also make great contributions, and this is the importance of generals.

After all, there are examples in history of leading elite cavalry thousands of miles deep into the north of the desert to smash Huanglong's wolf Juxu, and there are also cases where leading a large army to get lost in the desert.

And now, those cunning bandits who have been entrenched in the deep mountains and old forests for so many years can be accurately predicted, this is definitely talent.

For Zhou Changfeng's humility, Zhu Shiyan is quite satisfied - this kid went to Batavia last time to make a fuss and then evacuated leisurely, and now he still has this ability?

At present, it seems that although I dare not make a conclusion that Daming wants one more handsome talent, but a general is proper, wonderful!
