The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The Battalion Commander Zheng Gang of the Patriotic Battalion, Sun Zhong, the Chief of Military Supplies, Wang Dongming, the Deputy Battalion Chief, and Liu Sheng, the Chief of Intelligence, rushed over from various places soon after being notified.

"We just met Staff Officer Du from the disbanded Intelligence Department. They were attacked by bandits with 300 to [-] people in a village on the edge of the mountain..."

The deputy captain, Zhang Liechen, first introduced the situation to everyone. Hearing that there were bandits in front of them, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Feelings just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and fell into the wolf's den again?

"It's just two or three hundred bandits, our battalion can deal with them." Zheng Gang, the battalion commander of the Patriotic Battalion, took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Battalion Commander Zheng, be safe and don't be impatient. I think since there are bandits on the edge of the mountain, there must be a lot of bandits in the mountain. Once we know that we are carrying good things, we will definitely not let it go. Once they swarm up, we It's troublesome."

After hearing the words of Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, they could only look down. If what Zhang Liechen said was true, then the situation was really not optimistic.

They are such a huge team now, the civilians plus some members of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, there are tens of thousands of people.

Although there are a large number of people, only three companies can really fight, and they carry a lot of food and military supplies from Huaiyin.

It can be said that they are a big piece of fat now. If the bandits in the mountains are targeted, it will definitely not be a good thing.

"But now we have to go into the mountain. With so many people staying outside the mountain, the devil will find us sooner or later."

Zhang Liechen said: "I don't mean not to enter the mountain, but to hide here first, send people into the mountain to find out the situation before entering the mountain, if you enter the mountain recklessly, if you get into the bandit's den, That would be troublesome."

"I agree to find out the situation first before going into the mountain. Then our intelligence department will send people out to investigate. Where there are bandits and where they can settle, we must first find out." Liu Sheng, the director of the intelligence department, said.

"We must hurry up on this matter. After all, our rear is not safe. Once the devils catch up, our people will not be able to stop them for long." Zhang Liechen warned.

"By the way, let the brothers who went out to inquire about the situation pay attention to our scattered brothers, and bring them back when they meet."

"Yes!"

Chief Intelligence Officer Liu Sheng nodded, and immediately got up and went out to make arrangements.

After seeing Liu Sheng leave, Zhang Liechen ordered the battalion commander Zheng Gang: "Your people must be on guard, and the sentry should be placed five miles away."

"Yes."

Zheng Gang also felt that he had a lot of courage on his shoulders. The safety of tens of thousands of people was all on the brothers of their three companies.

"All our wounded were moved to the woods to hide, and the people were also evacuated, so as not to be discovered by the ghost planes in the sky."

......

Because of the discovery of bandits in front, the entire retreating team had to stop and wait for the people at the intelligence office to find out the surrounding situation before they could act.

All the people from the intelligence department went out to investigate the situation of the bandits in the mountains, but before the people from the intelligence department could send back the news, the bandits came to the door first.

The target of the bandits in Heilangzhai was the remnants of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps that had withdrawn from Huaiyin, and they were more familiar with the local area.

Although Zhang Liechen and the others were well concealed, but with such a large team entering this area, it didn't take long for the bandits in Heilang Village to figure out their location.

Heilangzhai also suffered a loss when they fought Du Jiang and the others before, but they didn't expect to be beaten by more than a dozen people and suffered heavy losses.

This also made the bandits in Heilangzhai thin and dead camels bigger than horses. Even if the Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps was defeated by the devils, they couldn't eat them in one bite.

Therefore, they changed their strategy and sent people to Zhang Liechen's side to demand a ransom, using Yuan Guangtao, the vice captain, as a threat, hoping to make a fortune.

Text Chapter 230 Six Kidnapping

"Your deputy commander, whose surname is Yuan, is in our hands. Here is his military ID card and a distress letter written by him."

Heilangzhai quickly sent people to find Zhang Liechen and the others, and took out the military officer certificate of the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao and the distress letter written by himself.

Deputy Chief Zhang Liechen and the others took over Yuan Guangtao's military certificate and the distress letter written by him with suspicion, and their faces became extraordinarily solemn.

Looking at the familiar notes and the description of Du Jiang, the intelligence staff officer who escaped earlier, Zhang Liechen judged that Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, had really fallen into the hands of the bandits in all likelihood.

Although Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, has many shortcomings and shortcomings, and Zhang Liechen often argues with him, but after all, the other party is also a member of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.

"Tell me, how can I let you go."

Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, also knew that the weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings, and these bandits had no good intentions, but now that the initiative was in the hands of these bandits, he was also very helpless.

"Sweet, we like to make friends with refreshing people."

The bandit sent over didn't expect Zhang Liechen and the others to be so direct, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

"You don't need to make friends. We are Chinese soldiers, and we haven't fallen to the point of drinking and talking with bandits." Looking at the arrogant bandits, Wang Dongming, the deputy battalion commander, reminded in a cold voice.

Hearing what the deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming said, the bandit also knew that Wang Dongming was in a panic, so he smiled, but he was not angry.

"Since you don't want to make friends, then don't make friends. Let's talk about business first. From now on, we will walk half of the road facing the sky, and the well water will not interfere with the river water."

"Don't talk nonsense, tell us your conditions." Zhang Liechen was too lazy to talk nonsense with the bandits, and his face was a little impatient.

The bandit who came to negotiate didn't talk too much nonsense. He glanced at the sullen crowd and got straight to the point.

"Our head of the family said that if the deputy captain surnamed Yuan comes back intact, it's very simple. Give us 20 catties of food, [-] small yellow croakers, [-] oceans, [-] rifles, and [-] rounds of ammunition. …”

"Damn it, believe it or not, I'll kill you first, and then I'll take over your bandit den!"

Hearing that the bandits in Heilang Village opened their mouths like a lion and asked for so many things, Zheng Gang, the battalion commander of the Patriotic Battalion, became angry immediately, and stood up immediately with his gun drawn.

This one is quite courageous, even though the muzzle of the gun was staring at his chest, his face only changed slightly.

The bandits stared at the murderous Patriotic Battalion Commander Zheng Gang, took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter if you kill me, I'm just a talker, but let me remind you, if something happens to me, hehe, Your vice-captain may be dead."

"you!"

Hearing the bandit's arrogant threat, Zheng Gang, the battalion commander of the Patriotic Battalion, turned pale with anger, but he also knew that although the opponent was inconspicuous, he really couldn't kill him.

"You wait a moment, let us discuss and discuss."

After thinking for a while, the deputy captain, Zhang Liechen, spoke to the bandit.

"I can wait for you for 10 minutes." The bandit who sent the message nodded.

The deputy captain, Zhang Liechen, waved at the guards, and the two guards took the bandit aside, leaving everyone frowning.

"Mr. Zhang, the bandit opened his mouth like a lion. We can't agree."

When the bandits were brought to the side, Sun Zhong, the Chief of Military Supplies, spoke first.

Although their Subei Guerrilla Corps has not been operating in Huaiyin for a long time, they have successively eliminated many local gang bullies.

The election marquis called Gaoyou Baoying again, and got a lot of things from the devil's warehouse. There is no shortage of money now, but if they want them to hand over the things that their brothers fought with their lives to the bandits, they are not willing.

"But if you don't agree, the lives of Chief Yuan and the others will be lost." There were also people with worried faces.

Although they don't want to see Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, the other party is also an officer. If he is killed by the bandits, it will undoubtedly make the situation worse for the already low morale of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps.
