Captain Li's plan was to take revenge overnight. In the name of going to the funeral, he took dozens of skilled confidants out of the camp in plain clothes, sneaked into the city without anyone noticing, and raided the Zhou family compound overnight.
But this move amounts to rebellion. Everyone in the army respects you as a great leader, but if you want to rebel, you have to think carefully. Who among those who have a home and a house dares to follow you? Others have a grudge against you for killing your father, but not me. Why should I leave my wife and children to follow you?
Seeing everyone hesitating and embarrassed, Captain Li felt desolate in his heart. On weekdays, all of them are good brothers who would go through life and death without hesitation, but when it comes time to show their true colors, they all show their true colors. As a last resort, he increased the amount of remuneration and begged for help. Finally, two money-grubbing officers were willing to recruit men to follow the regiment leader to take a big risk. Anyway, wealth is gained through danger, and there is no shortage of such desperadoes in the world.
That afternoon, Captain Li and more than thirty of his desperate men who had finally gathered together left the military camp on horseback in civilian clothes and galloped towards Lishi County.
There are no roads from Zhongyang County to Lishi County. They are all mountain roads and small dirt roads. They can barely pass carriages, but it is impossible for trucks to travel. Captain Li was eager for revenge, but he didn't expect someone to ambush him.
Zhou Wen specializes in doing things you can't think of. Now that he knew that the Li family had a son who was the head of the group, how could Zhou Wen keep this scourge (even if it wasn't a scourge before, it is now). As the saying goes, if you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Zhang Xiaoping and the members of Ergazi Group have been waiting on a mountain road for a long time. The person who reported the news to the Li family was deliberately released by Zhou Wen, with the purpose of following him to find the military camp. When Captain Li brought his people out, naturally there was a secret whistle reporting Zhang Xiaoping.
The ambush point Zhang Xiaoping chose was the junction of a rugged mountain road and a straight road. When Captain Li and the others slowed down their horses and passed the mountain road and entered the relatively open straight road, Zhang Xiaoping's gun rang out, and a man he had firmly put in the crosshairs had a flower on his head and fell to the ground.
Zhang Xiaoping and the others had never met Captain Li, so they didn't know who he was among the crowd, but they didn't need to know. Anyway, the people who came had no intention of letting anyone go.
Now the members of the spear team are all qualified sharpshooters. Just kidding, the people originally selected were all talented in shooting. Each person had received at least tens of thousands of rounds of live-fire shooting training for more than a year, plus half a year of baptism in the Central Plains War. Basically, people and guns are integrated into one. What is man-gun integration? According to Zhou Wen's standards, there is no need to aim within two hundred meters. You have to hit the target by raising your hand, and it is a moving target.
Now the thirty or so people led by Captain Li were no more than 200 meters away from the ambush point. The surroundings were empty and the horses were slow. They were all human-shaped targets. Ying Qiqi's average firing rate of thirty rounds per minute is no joke. Only a series of "bang-bang-bang" gunshots were heard...
Six Yingqi 77s and one Mauser G-98 standard rifle fired all the bullets in the chamber within twenty seconds. No one except Zhang Xiaoping reloaded because it was no longer needed. The 32 enemies, including Captain Li, were hit by sixty-five precise rifle bullets, and under the coordinated shooting that had reached an extremely tacit understanding in daily training and battles. No one was spared, and they all fell under their horses.
This is the effect of Zhou Wenyao. After nearly two years of hard work, we have finally reaped fruitful results. It can be said that now that the spear members of the mercenary regiment have greatly improved their martial arts, and with the assistance of Zhou Wen's Prajna Qi, they have all reached the stage of vitality. Each one of them has reached or exceeded the precision marksmanship defined by later generations. standard. What now stood in their way was greater experience and better rifles.
The shooting results of seven people are quite remarkable. Zhang Xiaoping hit five out of five shots, Ergazi hit eight out of ten shots, and the other team members all hit five out of ten shots or above. It’s not that the shot is inaccurate, it’s basically that the target is hit too hard and does not count as a hit.
After the shooting was completed, the team members dispersed their formation, drew their pistols and searched forward. Zhang Xiaoping reloaded his bullets and continued to monitor and cover in place. After the team members went up, they followed the same old routine: replenish their guns, search their bodies, and lead their horses. Five minutes later, seven people, carrying dozens of horses and captured weapons, disappeared at the end of the rugged mountain road.
Thirty-two bodies including Captain Li were discovered by passers-by that day. The area where the accident occurred was under the jurisdiction of Zhongyang County, so it was naturally handled by the security team of Zhongyang County. By the time they were identified and reported to the army, it was already the next day. The deputy commander knew the reason why Commander Li went out. Now that the commander was dead, he did not dare to hide the truth, so he reported it to the brigade headquarters. The brigade headquarters saw that this was a personal vendetta and wanted to ignore it, but a dignified regiment leader was beaten to death, and the enemy turned out to be a senior official of the Shanxi Party Headquarters. And there is no evidence to prove that the enemy did it (but in this case, even a fool can guess that the enemy did it), so I have no choice but to report it again.
Soon, the upper management's opinions came. Now is the critical moment to accept the leadership of the National Government. The Jin army cannot have any conflict with the Shanxi Party Headquarters. What's more, the regiment leader led his troops out of the camp to seek personal revenge without consulting his superiors, which violated military discipline and was tantamount to rebellion. I ignored the case and told the public that I was going home for a funeral and that I was robbed on the way.
In this way, after three generations of hard work in Lishi County, Dashunlai Trading Company, a century-old time-honored brand, fell apart and disappeared with the attack and death of Captain Li, the last direct relative of the Li family.
…
The time came to early December of 1930. On this day, it snowed for the first time this winter in Lishi County. In the main hall of the Zhou Family Courtyard, there was a prosperous stove burning in the center, and braziers placed in the four corners. The whole room was so warm that people could not feel the cold outside at all.
A group of people in the room were chatting around the central stove. Today is a happy day. Zhou Wen's father, Zhou Jinghai, is in great health.
After Feng Tianpei's various medicinal diet preparations and Zhou Wen's prajna energy, plus the big stone that had been weighing on his heart after seeing his son return disappeared. The joyful, cheerful and relaxed mood inspired vitality. In just a few days, Zhou Jinghai was able to get out of bed and get off the ground.
Today Zhou Jinghai is hosting a banquet for all his family members and brothers from the mercenary group. Let's all have a good time and have a few drinks. It is also a celebration banquet.
The enemy Dashunlai Company that framed and attempted to seize his family property fell, and Fuyuan Company is now the new boss in Lishi County. The county magistrate is Zhou Wen's cousin Wang Chenghao, not to mention the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Zhou Wen originally wanted Lin Dongping to take the position of security captain, but Lin Dongping knew that Fuyuan Company was now in the midst of expansion, and he did not have the energy to hold two positions. So he recommended his good brother Zhang An, the former deputy captain of the security team.
