Wang Sanzhu quickly received the news: "Uncle Qi, it seems that most of the group is still in the southern village, and there should be small groups of troops on both sides. Should we fight directly?"
The old bandit Qi shook his head: "Now that the enemy's situation is unclear, the group in the south is confident and shows that they are not afraid of us? It's strange, why do they dare to set up camp here?"
Wang Sanzhu respected the old bandit: "What should we do now? Should we wait until the whole team arrives before we start."
The old bandit thought for a while: "First send a small force to inquire about their situation. Even if he runs away overnight, he can still be hung up. Let's retreat to the blockade first! Then make the next step!"
"They are either the Eighth Route Army or the National Army guerrillas. There are only a few people in total. Why should there be any hesitation?"
The old bandit Qi suddenly looked at Wang Sanzhu with a sinister look: "You have to understand that I have no grudge against the Eighth Route Army. Even if I became a bandit with you, I have never done anything to the Eighth Route Army!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I did all the killing of the Eighth Route Army, okay? I also helped you kill so many Japanese and the scum of the national army who didn't fight Japanese!"
A bandit ran over: "Report? Commander Wang, the group in the east calls themselves the Black Tiger Army..."
Wang Sanzhu frowned: "You shouldn't!"
Hearing this, Old Bandit Qi said: "We have to eat one bite at a time, and we have to do things one by one. I will go to Dongbian Village to grab a tongue first. If it is really some kind of Black Tiger Army, I think we should focus on recruiting."
"Hey, they attacked and killed more than a hundred of me. Until now... I still don't know whether the brothers left behind are dead or alive. I don't care who he is, I have to give an explanation to my brothers!"
"Whatever you want, give me a team of the commander's direct brothers, and I'll go to the east and have a look!"
"Okay? I'll set up another cannon for you!"
It didn't take long.
When Liu Laoyao, the bandit leader, heard that reinforcements were coming, he was overjoyed and hurried from the north to the west. He smiled flatteringly: "Uncle Qi, are you here in person?"
Old Bandit Qi frowned: "What's going on? How many people are there in the village?"
Commander Wang's direct descendants were well-equipped, and Liu Laoyao was very envious: "The road into the village was blocked. After I ordered the brothers to disperse, I planned to climb over the wall to get in. Before I could get close, I was ambushed and three of them died. , six or seven were slightly and seriously injured, and the brothers have surrounded the village completely. Even... even a fly can't even think of flying out..."
Knowing that there are people in the village, what kind of ambush is this?
The old bandit Qi remained calm. How dare a few Mao bandits dare to speak so brazenly?
Just now I asked him how many people there were, but this guy didn't reply in a careless manner, which showed that he didn't know at all! Asking him again is absolutely nonsense and will only affect his judgment!
Too lazy to ask again, it is safest to look for it yourself. It is two to three hundred meters away from the west entrance of the village. Hold a telescope and observe carefully. The village is so small. How many people can be hidden?
I rode hard on my horse and ran around the village before returning to the west. Then I looked up at the sky and looked at the youngest Liu: "Did you shout?"
"I shouted, and they replied that it was the White Tiger... No, no, it was the Black Tiger Army. I have heard of the Black Tiger Army. They have been operating at the foot of the mountain in the west. They are members of the same group who kill the rich and give to the poor. They just don't listen to me. I advise..." Liu Laoyao explained nonchalantly.
"Set up the artillery immediately and try hitting him with a few shots first!" Qi Lao Qi didn't hesitate and turned to give instructions to the artillery team.
After saying that, he turned his head: "Boss Liu, you immediately assemble a platoon and follow my platoon on standby. If the people in the village don't come out to surrender after the shelling is over, attack directly from the west!"
Liu Laoyao was stunned for a moment: "No more siege?"
The old bandit Qi jumped off his horse and placed lumps on the ground: "Don't talk nonsense. There are fifty or sixty people in your place. Just leave a few on each side outside the village! Gather the team quickly?"
"There are brothers from other mountains here. What if they don't listen?"
Old Bandit Qi really wanted to kill this verbose guy: "Just go to the gathering, just say it's what I said, who dares not to listen..."
Ma Liang, who was holding a telescope, saw clearly that the bandits were debugging the mortar, and he was shocked: "Everyone quickly got off the roof and found a solid place to defend against the mortar according to the training requirements! No one can poke their heads in..."
The battalion commander made a mistake in judgment, the bandits have heavy firepower!
Ma Liang did not dare to be careless and stayed on the roof to continue observing. Time passed slowly by one minute and one second. There was no movement except for people running around on the bandit's side...
The sky is slowly darkening, it's almost dark...
The arms of the soldier lying on the ground supporting his body were weak, but still...no movement!
The bandits finally set up the artillery. Young Liu finally assembled his team. The artilleryman looked at Old Bandit Qi: "Uncle Qi, preparations are complete. There is a row of big trees outside the village. The shooting effect may not be very good..."
"Take a shot first and then talk about it!" Upon hearing this, Old Bandit Qi put down the lump in his hand and raised his head.
After the Japanese invaded here, Wang Taigong first defected to the national army. The national army gave him the position of commander of the guerrillas and a few mortars. Although there were not many shells, he was prosperous for a while. After he surrendered to the enemy, the Japanese did not. Take a fancy to these off-brand mortars.
This time, Wang Sanzhu only gave six shells in total.
The target was very close, the muzzle had a large elevation angle, and the barrel was almost vertical to the ground. A bandit raised his fingers and gestured for a long time before finally stuffing a mortar shell into the muzzle.
There was a muffled thud, the cannon was ejected from the barrel, and it flew into the sky with a whoosh.
It was so fast that the bandits had no time to look up and see where the shells had gone...
Although the bandit artillerymen have fired a few cannons, they don't actually have much experience. Anyway, if they can fire out, it's done. As for where they will hit, God only knows...
With such a big village as a target, I wouldn’t miss it!
However, he still aimed at the middle of the village...
In front of Mr. Qi, if he was really beaten outside the village, it would be embarrassing to his grandma's family.
A puff of smoke rose in the village, followed by a loud "boom".
The ground trembled, and the horses nearby neighed.
A very accurate shot!
Almost right in the middle of the village.
The gunner of the bandit soldier let out a sigh of relief and asked the old bandit Qi proudly: "Uncle Qi, do you want to fire another round?"
"No need for now, Youngest Liu, go and shout, if you don't come out, the village will be blown to the ground later!"
"It's an order!" Young Liu looked at the mortar with envy. This thing is a good thing...
Finally, the shell exploded.
Wan Xiangxian, who was lying next to the millstone, waited for a long time, but there was no movement.
He turned to look at the big dog next to him who didn't seem to care at all: "Why did I just fire one shot? Isn't this a test shot? How can the bandit do this?"
The big dog curled his lips: "What a bunch of gangsters... Do you really think it's a test firing? Look at him hitting the middle of the village with one shot. How can this be of any use?"
Wan Pao Xishen agreed: "The person who fired the cannon must be a novice. He probably didn't even blow up a hair... If I were to fire, the front should be blown up first, so that the observers can observe the effect of the bombardment!"
"Damn, I almost forgot that you used to be able to use cannons... I'll ask Li Xiang for one someday, and let's have some fun..."
Wan Shuixi curled his lips and said: "Shit, I swear, I will never play with that thing again even if I am beaten to death. I will recruit those little devils to bombard and retaliate..."
"Why did a bunch of bandits scare you like this, you piece of shit!"
"You're just a ball...Ge, I say big dog, don't be careless, be careful not to capsize in the gutter..."
It was estimated that the bandits would attack soon. The big dog didn't want to talk nonsense with this guy anymore, so he stood up and ran up to the roof in twos and twos.
