In the war room.
Lu Xiaojia looked at the security captain in front of him who looked to be in his forties, with big bright eyes, dark skin and thick lips.
"What's your name, and where are you the head of the security team? What on earth do you want to see me for?"
"Master Lu, I am Yang Kenan, the head of the security team in Pucheng, 28 kilometers to the southwest. To be honest, Mr. Yang came to visit Master Lu this time on behalf of the entire Pucheng, Molin Town, and Panfeng The people from all three sides of the town beg Master Lu to send troops to suppress the bandits!"
Seeing the security team leader in front of him say this, a trace of solemnity appeared on Lu Xiaojia's face.
In fact, during this period, the banditry in China was indeed very serious. Among them, the four eastern provinces, Shandong Province, Shu Province, Yu Province, and Hunan Province were the most serious because of their strong folk customs. Of course, other provinces were also big brothers, let alone Second brother, actually it’s almost the same.
Although the warlords in various provinces have heavy troops in their hands, these people have typical warlord mentality. They don't care about their own affairs and don't care about these things at all.
What does your people have to do with my warlord when the people are in dire straits? If you ask me to send troops to eliminate banditry on a large scale, who will bear the casualties of my own troops?
Therefore, in this case, in order to curb banditry, local governments can only set up private armed groups such as security groups and militia groups to protect the territory and the people.
Logically speaking, although local armed forces are unable to eliminate banditry, they still have no problem protecting the territory and the people.
He himself was originally planning to wait until the two divisions completed their training before sending troops to eliminate banditry in the entire Yu Province.
But now that we have encountered this kind of thing in advance, we can naturally take care of it in advance.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for stimulating the random mission "Bandit Suppression Hero" to destroy Heiyun Village to complete the mission and receive a random reward from this system. 】
No, this can also trigger tasks?
"Master Lu, I know that asking you to send troops must be a gimmick. Here are 20,000 silver dollars raised by our people. Although the money is a bit short..."
Seeing Lu Xiaojia's silence, Yang Ken thought it was because he had not taken any advantage, so he quickly took off the heavy bag from his body, but was stopped by Lu Xiaojia.
"Captain Yang, the purpose of our army is to protect our country and our country. If something like this happens to me, I won't just sit back and watch. Please tell me the details of the bandits in your area."
"This... Mr. Lu understands the righteousness and is considerate of the people's sentiments. On behalf of the people of Pucheng, Molin Town, and Panfeng Town, I would like to thank you in advance..."
Next, Yang Kenan also told Lu Xiaojia the specific situation of the bandits.
"The leader of this group of bandits is named Guo Shanying. He was entrenched in Heifeng Village on the Taimiao Mountains in the south of Pucheng about four or five years ago."
"In the past, this group of bandits was very weak. They only had about 40 people. They didn't have many rifles. The rest were big blades and red tassel guns. They only had a dozen fast horses. From time to time, they would go down the mountain to loot villages and rob caravans along the way. That one At that time, our security team still had the strength to fight against this group of bandits, and we used ambushes to attack these bandits who were looting at the foot of the mountain many times. But recently, for some unknown reason, this group of bandits suddenly became stronger in a short period of time. Now the number of people has reached more than 200, with more than 100 guns and more than 60 fast horses, and they are more rampant than before."
"In just a few days, four villages near us were looted. Food, livestock, and young women were robbed. The bandits would also kill some incompetents in extremely cruel ways such as beheading and shooting from time to time. The people who have the power to tie the chicken are just having fun, and so far more than 500 people have died tragically at the hands of these bandits."
…
Um, just two hundred people and more than a hundred rifles?
Lu Xiaojia wanted to laugh a little. Such a small number of people were not qualified to give me a dental sacrifice. After thinking about it, he decided to dispatch two infantrymen from the third teaching battalion to suppress the bandits.
"Batalion Commander Lei, you deploy two infantry platoons, and we will follow Commander Yang now."
"Yes, Master!"
Ten minutes later, a convoy of 12 SdkfZ251 half-track armored personnel carriers loaded with soldiers left the military camp and headed southwest.
…
At ten o'clock in the morning, after nearly two hours of turbulence, the troops finally arrived at the so-called Pucheng, which was actually a small town with a small population.
Lu Xiaojia was not in a hurry at the moment and ordered the troops to rest on the spot and cook on the way. After all, the bandits would not have time to cook later.
As for food, it is also very simple. The system provided C-type individual soldier rations last time.
